Disclaimer: Again. Same thing as always. I do not own Digimon or the characters or anything like that. I only own the plot which I got from many of my own and friend's ideas. This chapter I am going to dedicate to my one and only reviewer Dan! (Takato the dreamer) who's fic inspired this chapter partially. And thank you some people in my french class (You know who you are) for some ideas and the title of the chapter. This fic contains Shounen-ai! Which means Boy/Boy love! If you do not like that then I don't know why you are still here, I mean common this is the third chapter! This chapter is from Ken's POV and they may be slightly OOC, gomen. Well, I hope all of you like this chapter and review and give me ideas for more future chapters. I'm pretty sure how I'm going to do the Taito/Yamachi thing. Sorry for the late updating. This chapter took a lot of time at school to write. Eww there is even more straightness in the chapter. Blah. Well in total this whole fic will only involve 2 straightness pairings, but don't worry, you never know what will happen. evil smirk Revamped once again...

Bleeding Hearts
Chapter 3: Friendship with a Twist

Ken POV

Ken sat on the bus looking over his notes carefully. He knew that he was going to do well but he was checking it over again just for review. The humming of the bus against the paved road made him sleepy, but he knew he wouldn't allow himself to fall asleep. The raindrops hitting against the windows also didn't help. The rain had now been going two days straight and it just seemed to be getting worse. He looked over at his friends that were sitting across from him. Hikari was sleeping on Takeru's shoulder who was trying to study along with Miyako and Daisuke. Iori was still to young to have these tests so he was the only one who wouldn't be joining everyone at Ken's house afterwards, unlike the day before at Jyou's. Jyou, Koushiro, Sora, Mimi, Taichi and Yamato were all already starting their exams since their exams were more difficult and took more time. He couldn't believe how much work he got Daisuke to do. He really was hoping that Daisuke would get a good grade so they could spend more time together in the summer. Even though they both have soccer together, he also wants to spend other time with him. just the two of them. ' I wonder how the others' are doing on there exams? They've been studying really hard. They all deserve good grades' Ken had changed a lot since he has been with everyone, and even more since he's been Kaizer. He had changed more then some of the others though. He wasn't exactly gay, but he wasn't exactly straight either. No one has noticed how he and Daisuke act around each other. They wouldn't believe it even if they did probably. Daisuke was his best friend, perhaps even more.

"Hey Ken, could you help me with this again?" A voice said. Ken looked up and saw Daisuke smiling at him. He sat beside him and nodded.

"Sure Dai, which part?"

"Just the terms. Pweez!" The goggled boy said pouting. Ken laughed.

"Sure Daisuke, only because you need to pass this course." Daisuke smiled and hugged Ken.

"You're the best Ken! Thank you!" Ken looked up at Daisuke.

"Anything for you." He said and smiled. Ken helped the other soccer player for about five minutes until the bus came to a stop and Hikari woke up.

"Did I sleep the whole time Takeru?" She asked, wrapping her arms around the blond.

"'Fraid so." He smiled nervously and exited the bus. 'Something's definitely on Takeru's mind. He's hiding something. I've known him long enough to notice that. Poor Hikari, this is just going to tear her apart if he hurts her after Daisuke did.'

"Common you guys!" Miyako said, getting up. The velvet haired boy helped Hikari up and walked out of the bus. 'I still haven't asked Daisuke what his real reason for breaking up with Hikari was. He seems a lot happier now though, when I'm with him he's just so happy and I definitely feel better when he's around. When he was with Hikari, it seemed like he was hollow inside and everything was fake. He was definitely hiding something. I know he really liked her at first, but then he must have realized somethinb because once she picked him he didn't really want her anymore. Maybe what we have now is what he has wanted. Not like what we have is big. It's just... a closer relationship, like not as if we are going out, but differnt.' Ken's thoughts were broken from the feeling of Miyako poking him.

"Hello, earth to Ken. What's with you lately?" She asked suspiciously. "Hurry up the walking, you don't want to be late do you? Don't you find this time of year soo relaxing?" She continued spinning around Hikari and Takeru. Hikari giggled shaking her head.

"Miyako, sometimes I worry about you." she said through her giggles. The purple haired girl continued spinning, yelling about how she wasn't crazy.

"Hey! Ken, Jyou and Koushiro are brainiacs too, they're even smarter then I am! A lot weirder too, right Ken?" Miyako rubbed against Ken and smiled.

"Let's just go inside..." Ken said walking inside the school. Miyako was giving the evil eye to Daisuke who was pulling her off of Ken. 'It's just not the same when she hugs me and when he hugs me. I actually feel something when Daisuke hugs me. That's why I knew me and Miyako would never work out. I thought she got over me, but in the last while she's been trying to get close to me and never leaving me and Dai together. I wonder if she knows anything. She's being awfully suspicious...'

An hour later Ken was sitting and waiting for his test to be collected. The thing he hated about these end of year test was that he finished pretty quickly, and then he had to wait. He could probably leave if he asked though, he just never had reason to. The digi-destined sighed and looked up at the clock. Five more minutes left, then he would leave. Just then he heard a voice from behind him. He looked out of the class, into the hall and smiled at the familiar face beaming at him.

"Daisuke, what are you doing here?" He whispered softly to the auburn haired boy.

"I'm in the bathroom, can't you tell? Come join me!" He answered back. Ken thought for a moment and then got up to hand in his test. Maybe only one minute had passed, but he wasn't going to say no to Daisuke. Ken walked out into the hall and smiled at Daisuke before being pulled down the hall.

"Common Ken, I know you didn't want to sit there, I finished early too, so let's just leave." Daisuke said continuing to drag the other boy.

"But Dai, what about the others? Where are we going, wait, your done early?" The velvet haired boy asked confusedly.

"We'll just wait for them, all of us are going to your house anyways, lets just get a head start on the fun. " Daisuke said winking. He turned around and grabbed the other boy and hugged him, not a friendly hug, but more of a romantic hug. "Thanks for helping me study, I think I actually got it this time. If it wasn't for you, I may had to go to summer school and I wouldn't be able to spend the summer with you.

"Uh, n-no problem Daisuke, anything you need, I'll be here." Ken said looking up blushing, beginning to hug back. "Common, we should get going to my house."

Both boys ran in the pouring rain toward Ken's house. The rain soaked through their shirts and their hair. They ran through puddles and let the rain water splash all over them as they raced towards his front door. Ken looked over at Daisuke and his white dress shirt was sticking to him, showing off his toned, tan body which he gained from soccer. He blushed and then began to think about what they were going to do once they reached their destination. ' What's going to happen? This is the first time we have been completely alone in a while. That hug back there, it definitely meant something to him. It was not a friendly hug like how it was on the bus. It was more sincere, his voice softened and I could feel his heart beat. Times like those, I never what to leave him. Oh my god! I'm falling in love with my best friend. What would the others think if they found out? Even bigger question, what would Daisuke think about all of this? Sometimes I even wonder if he thinks of what we have is just friendship, or maybe more. What if he's just leading me on like he did Hikari. After that she ran to Takeru, she seems better with him anyways. Daisuke and Hikari's relationship was just too fake. Do I wan't a relationship with Dai? Is this what my thoughts are getting at. I do care so much about him, but I'm not sure if that is exactly what I'm looking for.'

"What if he was my boyfriend?." Ken accidently said out loud. He looked at the ground pretending he didn't say anything. It was to late though, Daisuke had heard him.

"Ken, who are you talking to?" Daisuke asked questionly. "Common, if you don't snap out of it, I'm going to beat you Mr. I'm so good at soccer!" he smiled sticking his tongue out teasingly.

"Oh, I'll show you what I can do!" Ken said speeding up his apartment stairs, making sure he stayed infront of Daisuke, fealing releaved that he didn't hear exactly what he said. Both boys ended up reaching the door at the same time, both soaking wet and breathing heavily. Ken couldn't help gawk over Daisuke's body. 'Is it wrong to think that your best friend is hot after working out in the rain? Maybe I should just never repeat that again. It is true, I am falling in love with him.' "You have been practicing haven't you, young one." he said sarcastically opening the door, running towards the living room.

"I'll get you for that! I'm even older then you are! Hey, where are you going!" he heard Daisuke yell from behind him. He ran towards him and tackled him to the floor, straddling him at the hips. Ken was laughing, trying to get out of the other boys grasps.

"Okay, okay, you win, you win!" He struggled, but not enough so he could escape. He didn't want to escape, he enjoyed the position they were in.. "You act just like Taichi sometimes, I could swear you two were brothers!" He smiled.

"Well I'm pretty sure that Yamato would not lie on top of Taichi like this,." The auburn haired boy said looking down. He smiled and leaned closer to the velvet haired boy. "Or do anything like this"he whispered leaning in. They started inching closer and closer together. Ken could feel Daisuke's breath on his lips and he blushed deeply. 'Why do I all of a sudden want to pull Daisuke towards me and kiss him with all I have? When I'm with him, he's not a boy, he's just Daisuke...' Their lips barely brushed together in a light kiss when they heard the door open.

"Ken, Daisuke!" Miyako said running towards the living room happily. "Where are you two? You boys thought you could get away didn't you, trying to have fun with out us!" Ken's eyes widened and Daisuke quickly moved back, and rolled off of the other boy, blushing a deep shade of red.

"Boy Daisuke, you really are strong..." Ken said trying to cover up what had happened. "Don't worry Miyako, we just got here too. Dai was just trying to prove how strong he was..." Ken got up and walked into the kitchen 'I hope she didn't see too much, she's already way to suspicious. She has always been trying to keep us apart. Maybe I will ask him to stay over night, my parents are still out, and this storm, I really don't want to be alone. Then me and him can finally spend time together like before, without Miyako trying to be there. That's not too much to ask for, it is? He was the one who has always been there for me, the one who helped me when I was suicidal.' Ken sighed. He remembered those days so well. 'I didn't want anyone to know, I hid it, but Daisuke somehow knew, and it was hurting him when he finally figured it out. Who would have thought that he would be the one to find out, out of everyone. Daisuke saw the scars on me, emotionally and physically. The cuts I had made to my arms had made me feel something, something that I couldn't understand. I wanted the pain because it made me feel better. That night, the time after I made my last cut was the night Daisuke changed my thoughts on him forever. Before then we were best friends, but after that night, we became a little bit more. The night he kissed me deeply and told me he loved me. But does he love me?...'

"Ken, everyone's here. Do you have the stuff ready?" Taichi said walking towards him, breaking his thoughts from a few months before.

"Uh, yea... I think so. Could you help me carry some stuff?" The dazed boy asked, grabbing some of the snacks.

"Dai, go help Ken." Yamato said from the hallway. "I need Taichi to help me pick out a movie from the store. Takeru, Hikari? Want to come with? You look bored." The three nodded and headed out the door. Daisuke walked into the kitchen towards Ken.

"Erm...ummm..., sorry about before, you know, I didn't mean to, erm, put you in that position..." Daisuke was starting to blush, not sure what he was trying to say. He picked up a bag and looked up at Ken. He nodded and smiled, also blushing slightly.

"I was wondering, do you want to stay over night? My parents won't be home until early tomorrow and I don't want to be alone in this storm. I would invite everyone but we just had a sleepover last night. My parents would probably freak out, and I haven't spent much time with you lately, and..." He asked Daisuke hopefully.

"Yea! We haven't spent time together at all. You can't say that you haven't noticed Miyako poking in everywhere between us. I wonder if she still has that thing for you. I better watch out." The auburn haired boy winked, smirked. 'Tonight will definitely be an interesting night, once again.'

"Oh dear, look at the time. Yamato just came back too. My flight leaves in a few hours, and I need to be heading out now." Mimi said grabbing her pink fur lined jacket. "Anyone up for driving me, and coming with me?" Jyou decided to drive Mimi and Sora, and Hikari to the airport and wait until her plane took off.

"Who's up for a horror movie!" Taichi said grabbing the bag from Yamato with the movies. "Common, Koushiro, you know you'll like it!"

"That's what you said last time Taichi! I ended up with my eyes closed throughout the whole movie. I suggest a science fiction film or perhaps a nice comedy?" Koushiro said laughing nervously.

"Common, it wont be that bad. Are you scared because Jyou's not here to protect you?" Yamato said teasingly pushing Koushiro down on the couch beside Takeru and Taichi.

"The Exorcist? This is supposed to be very scary." Said Takeru looking at the box. Koushiro just turned white.

"What do you mean, Jyou protecting me! He does not!" Koushiro said trying to fight against the now red glow appearing on his face.

"Sure, Koushiro. Oh Jyou, protect me!" Taichi immitated, throwing his arms around Yamato and rubbing his back.Everyone just laughed. Ken couldn't help become slightly more suspicious about Koushiro and Jyou and the way they act together. "

It's nothing like that! It's just that, I get scared! I do not attack him like that! Ugh, why do I even bother anymore..." The redhead said slumping down further on the couch.

"Good little Koushiro. Let's just start the movie." Daisuke said sitting beside Ken on the other couch.

"Hey! Where am I supposed to sit!" Miyako asked coming in from the bathroom down the hall. "Ken, move over!"

"The floor seems nice." Daisuke said playfully to the confused girl. "Or perhaps that chair? I feel like spreading out today." He continued putting his head down on Ken's lap, stretching out across the couch. Miyako just gave him and evil look and sat down on the chair.

About an hour later they were all really into this old classic horror film. Miyako was huddled in a ball, looking like a mental patient, which Takeru continually pointed out. Taichi was leaning against Yamato who had his arm around him and Takeru. Koushiro was trying to hide his eyes while trying to stay as close as Takeru as possible. Ken and Daisuke were sitting closely beside each other on the other couch by themselves. What no one noticed about this pair was that Daisuke was holding him in his arms and Ken had his hand around the lower part of Daisuke's naked back, tickeling him softly. At one point in the movie, it made everyone gasp and hide quickly. Daisuke and Ken seemed to much into each other to notice the possessed girl in the movie. He felt electricity run through him every time Daisuke's bare skin touched him. They had changed from their soaked uniforms that they were wearing earlier of course. Ken was wearing a black t-shirt and Daisuke was wearing an old big soccer jersey that hung off his shoulders that he borrowed from him. Ken was about to ask Daisuke about the night before when there was a knock on the window making everyone jump.

"W-what was that? Ahh the evil scary girl has come to kill us all!" Koushiro spoke nervously, freaking out.

"I'll get the lights!" Miyako said standing up. Ken and Daisuke quickly separated from hearing this and sat normally on separate parts of the couch.

"Go check Ken, it is your house after all." Said Koushiro hiding behind Taichi's back. "Yamato and Taichi are right behind you." Ken walked up to the window and unlocked the door. Everyone stood nervously behind him as he slowly opened the door. The door burst open, and in walked Jyou, and Hikari.

"God, you guys trying to make me catch a cold or something? It's freezing outside!" The frozen blue haired boy said running into the warm hall.

"Well if we knew it was you we would have opened it earlier!" Taichi said trying to get everyone moving back into the living room. "Common, it's almost over, I want to get home sometime tonight."

"Oh, so you were scared?" Asked Hikari teasingly to her older brother. Taichi stuck out his tongue at her and started to walk back. Just then the power went out and Hikari and Miyako screamed.

"Great, even better, now we don't know if she is still lurking around or not!" Miyako cried.

"It's probably just the storm, it has just knocked out a power line or something. Very likely in this weather, its been like this for two days straight." Koushiro said trying to calm himself down.

"Oh Koushiro what we were talking about early. I would sleep over at your house tonight, but I have one last exam tommorow. Maybe the day after? Jyou asked the younger red head. Koushiro nodded and smiled. Yamato just rolled his eyes at Koushiro.

"Point proven." He said grabbing a spot on the couch. Koushiro tried to fight back but Yamato just laughed as Jyou looked confused. Everyone stayed and just talked about their exams and Hikari explained about the crazy people at the airport. After all of that and a few snacks it was about 10:00.

"Well I might as well be heading off, right Hikari? Don't want to bother your parents to late at night to drive us home." Takeru said grabbing his coat, motioning to Yamato and Taichi to come as well.

"Yea your right Yama. Anyone else need a lift?" Daisuke, Miyako, Koushiro?" Taichi asked. Miyako decided to go as well and waited with them to get picked up. Once they left only Jyou, Ken, Koushiro and Daisuke were left in the household. Jyou and Koushiro were leaving soon after finding out that Daisuke would be staying at Ken's and not getting a lift. They were all talking casually when Daisuke had to ask something.

"Can I ask you two something?" he asked to Jyou and Koushiro. Both boys nodded looking confused. "Don't get offended when I ask you guys this, but... What is going on between you two? There is something going on, you may not realize it but, I think your just denying it..." Both boys stared wide eyed not knowing what to say.

"I think the better question is what is going on between you two! Me and Koushiro are best friends, it seems like you two are way more then that. I see how you act around each other, you hide it very well, but sometimes, not so much." Jyou said trying to get the subject on them instead. Koushiro nodded in agreement,

"I looked over at you two and you guys were holding each other, no one else may have seen anything, but I did. I was not going to say anything because it is not any of my business, but since we're here..." Koushiro spilled out.

"Yea, but have you seen you two and how you guys act. You both are like in love with each other but not acting on it! Maybe you aren't, so correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you guys have a lot to talk about. Koushiro blushes when Yama says that he has a crush on you, and you protect him twiht everything you have." The auburn haired boy said. Just then they heard Jyou's mom honk from outside the house.

"Well I guess we better be going, but this conversation isn't quite over yet." Jyou said exiting the house with Koushiro. The other two boys looked at each other and laughed.

"Wel,l we better get ready to go to sleep. Common, help me find some candles." Ken told Daisuke, walking over towards Ken's room. Both boys began to look for candles for a few minutes and then there was another blast of thunder and lightning that was earsplitting. Ken turned around to get a lighter from Daisuke, but the goggled boy was no where to be seen. "Dai? Daisuke? Where are you? Common, this isn't a good time to be joking around." He knew it was a little awkward between them from the last conversation, but he didn't understand why Daisuke would run off. He looked out into the hall and found the other boy sitting with his arms over his legs against the white wall. "Daisuke? What's wrong? Why did you leave?" Ken asked soothingly, going down to Daisuke's level.

"I hate thunder, it's always given me the creeps." He said lowering his head, embarrassed about telling one of his fears.

"Thunder?" Ken asked confused.

"Yea, and you're lucky I'm telling you this. I never tell anyone my fears." He said lifting his head up once again. Ken smiled.

"You helped me before, so now I'll help you. You don't have to be afraid because I'll be here." The velvet haired boy said pulling Daisuke up to his feet.

"Thanks." He blushed. 'He blushed, Daisuke never blushes around me, does this mean something, he did it before once Miyako came in too. He looks so cute when he's embarrassed. I just want to reach up and touch his smooth face. I don't think about it enough, he means the world to me, I finally realize that is what I think of him. I'm always thinking about him, and how it would be to kiss him, just like when he kissed me that night. I have wished for that moment to happen again. Miyako has always been there to stop it. Maybe it was all just a misunderstanding, maybe he really didn't kiss me.' "Ken?" he asked nervously. "Are we sleeping in your room tonight or the hall?"

"Oh sorry." Replied Ken, breaking out of his trance. Once Ken reached his room he found Daisuke lying under the queen sized covers, pretending to be asleep."Common Dai, I know you didn't fall asleep that fast." He pulled back the blanket and the goggled boy frowned.

"Aww, you ruined it!" He exclaimed. "Can't I sleep here? It's big enough for like four people if we squeezed them in. So only for two, it should be okay. Common, you know you want to keep me warm." He said snuggling up to Ken's legs, pulling him onto the bed. "I mean who need a queen size bed to themselves?" Ken lay beside Daisuke for a moment and then sat up looking at the hallway.

"Dai, can I ask you something?" He said. Unsure of what he was going to say next. "I was thinking about what Koushiro and Jyou were saying, and I was curious, what do you think? I mean us? Are we? What do we have?" Daisuke sat up and looked at his hands.

"I'm not too sure myself actually. I like it though, I don't want it to change. I'm not gay or anything, it's just, you." He said sighing, looking up. "It's different than what I felt toward Hikari."

"Me too Dai, I look at you as a person, my best friend, actually, more then that. I don't look at you as a guy, I want to be more then what we have now though, I'm scared by doing that it will ruin what we have now. It's worth a shot though." Ken said grabbing Daisuke's hands. He sighed and then leaned in towards him, hoping Daisuke would not pull back. He felt Daisuke wrap his arms around his lower back and there lips finally touched. As they did, electricity ran through the velvet haired boy, he could not think. He felt as if this moment could go on forever. He wrapped his arms around Dasuke's neck and parted his lips, allowing Daisuke's tongue to enter his mouth. The kiss became more intense with each breath, neither of them wanting to let go of each other. Ken moved forward allowing Daisuke to fall on his back, and then they finally parted, breathing heavily.

"I have something I need to say." Ken started. Daisuke tried to say something but Ken put a finger over his mouth. "Let me finish first. Daisuke Motomiya, I think I am in love with you. I'm not sure what you feel for me, but that is what my true feelings are for you. I always had some feelings for you, it took me awhile to realize them and accept them though. I don't want to loose what we have. You agreed with that, don't you? I wouldn't mind if we became more. I don't want to make this night awkward for you, but I want you to. I mean, only if you are ready and want it, too. I want you to be my boyfriend..." Ken stopped talking and looked into Daisuke's eyes. He removed his finger from his lips and Daisuke started talking.

Chapter End

To Be Continued...

A/N: Lmao! Hahahahahaha! I'm such a bad writer! You guys don't get to know what happens next, you will just have to wait and see. After this chapter I'm going to be in a whole because the next point of view is going to be Koushiro and then Yamato and then Daisuke, but ya. I'll figure it all out. This chapter is probably extremely crappy because I wrote it over 5 days in school through Math, Religon and French. It's weird because I wrote this in Religon. R.I.P. Pop John Paul II, I'm not practicing catholic or anything, but I'm not an atheist either, who knows what I am. Well, I hope you guys will review and leave me with some nice constructive criticism because I will not accept flames! Please be nice, this is only my fifth fic! I should be posting more again soon because I am just full of so many ideas. The next few chapters will be awfully surprising, well that is what I'm planning for because I don't want people to predict what will happen. Well, until next time. Please check out my site too.
