A FRIEND'S EMBRACE

-Chapter 2

Unexpected Revelations

The day had gone better then Hikari would have imagined. After changing, writing a quick note to her mom and packing a few things in her backpack, she and Miyako had left. They went first to Miyako's house, dropping off Hikari's things. Then, to quell her worries, Miyako had sent Hawkmon into the Digital World to check on Tailmon. After that they went to the mall and the Cineplex, going and seeing a movie. When the movie was over they went into the mall's food court and ate before doing a little shopping. When all was said and done, they went back to Miyako's house, pleasantly tired.

And, sure enough, just as Miyako had said, everyone was gone.

"Think you should call your mom quick?" Miyako suggested.

"Yeah, I s'pose so," Hikari said, nodding.

Miyako smiled back at her and showed Hikari into her room, telling her that she was just going to get some water. Hikari said okay before turning and picking up the phone, swiftly dialing her home.

"Hey mom," Hikari said cheerfully.

"Well, well, well… You sound pretty happy. What do you need sweetheart?" Mrs. Yagami replied.

"I was just wondering if it was okay if I spent the night at Miyako's tonight. She says it's okay with her parents, so…" Hikari said hopefully.

"Sure. Do you have everything? P.J.'s? Toothbrush and stuff?" Hikari's mom inquired.

"Yes, I packed it all in my backpack before we left this morning."

"Oh-ho-ho, so you were really hopin' I'd say yes, huh? Heh, alright. Have fun! Love you."

Hikari smiled.

"Love you too, mom. Thanks."

Hikari hung the phone up and sat back on Miyako's bed. Her mind went to the events of the day… She had never been happier to see Miyako… A perfect friend, exactly when she needed her… How could she have thought that she was all alone?

Miyako finished the water in her glass, setting it down in the sink and walking back to her room. As she opened the door and looked inside she was very surprised to see Hikari crying again. She crossed the room swiftly and sat next to the smaller girl, feeling sad herself just to see her cry…

"Aww… Hikari.. What is it?"

Hikari looked up at her, a little smile on her face.

"I'm sorry… I was just thinking… I can't believe that I felt alone… I didn't even notice the tears… Thank you… Soooo much Miyako… You've always been there for me, and here I was discounting you… I'm lucky to have you as my friend…" Hikari said, gazing with teary eyes at Miyako.

The older girl smiled softly as she looked down at Hikari, quickly sliding next to her on the bed and hugging her.

"I'm lucky to have You," Miyako said, squeezing the girl lightly. "I don't know why you say I've always been there for you. You've always been there for me… And everyone for that matter… You've always cared about everyone in the group, sacrificing yourself for them. I'm just sorry that you felt so bad in the first place… Listen to me, if there is ever a time when you feel like that again, call me, or come see me. I will be here for you from now on. You're too good a person to ever have to feel like that…"

Hikari smiled again, laying her head on Miyako's shoulder.

"Thanks Miyako…"

Miyako laid her cheek on top of Hikari's head, trying again to soothe the girl.

"You just have to do one thing for me…" Miyako said quietly, drawing the girl's gaze to her own.

"Anything," Hikari murmured.

"You have to try not to cry… It breaks my heart to see you sad…"

Hikari smiled, wiping her eyes on her hands again. The two sat there, looking at each other, holding tight. Slowly, Miyako leaned down, laying her lips to Hikari's, lost in the moment. The littler girl's lips pressed delicately against Miyako's, who marveled at their smooth feel. Suddenly though, Miyako recoiled, realizing what she had just done.

"Oh, God… Hikari… I'm so… I don't know what came over me-" Miyako stuttered.

"It… It's okay…" Hikari said softly, causing Miyako to fall silent.

The two looked at each other for a moment, as if unsure what to do. Gently, Hikari leaned forward, placing her lips to Miyako's. She wasn't really sure what to do- not having any experience with kissing –but she didn't care, all she knew is that she wanted to kiss Miyako… Her emotions subsiding and awakening at the same time… She couldn't explain why, but kissing Miyako felt… right…

When they parted they fell silent again, their eyes locked on the others. Miyako was surprised… she had always liked Hikari in that way, but never imagined that the feelings would ever be reciprocated. Hikari on the other hand was bewildered… She had never felt that way before towards a girl. Takeru, maybe… But the feelings that had come over her… The feelings she had felt when Miyako kissed her… She hadn't felt them until that moment… Yet it seemed to her like they were always there, and she hadn't known it.

"Si-… Since when have you…?" Miyako said breathlessly.

Hikari blushed, looking down at the bed.

"I… I don't know… I just felt it…" Hikari replied, barely moving her lips.

"I've always liked you… Always… But I never… never thought it was possible… Especially with how much you like Takeru…" Miyako said, her eyes locked on Hikari.

Hikari looked up at the violet haired girl.

"You… Always liked.. me?" she said, her lips shaking slightly.

Miyako nodded seriously, still in shock at what had just happened. Hikari blushed again, feeling almost.. honored.

"It's true… I've liked Takeru since we were little kids… But nothing has ever come of it… Th-…" Hikari licked her lips nervously before continuing, "That was… my first kiss…"

Miyako watched Hikari look at the ground again. She'd never've guessed that that was Hikari's first kiss… Yeah, she seemed inexperienced, but not many people her age were good at kissing. It made it seem all that much more special to her, to have been the first person Hikari had ever kissed…

"Was I really terrible?" Hikari said suddenly, biting her lip, watching Miyako's expression.

Miyako smiled down at her, remembering the same feeling after her first kiss…

"Of course not. I mean, I could tell you haven't had a lot of practice- I had no idea that was your first –but you don't need to worry about that at all. You'll naturally get better at it with experience," Miyako said sweetly.

"Could… Could you… show me..?" Hikari asked, wondering what a good kiss felt like.

The request took Miyako completely by surprise- the question sounded so sexy to her, even though she knew Hikari had meant it innocently. The violet haired girl smiled, and couldn't help but fulfill the girl's wish. She moved her arms from around the smaller girl, instead placing her hands gently on the girl's tear-stained cheeks, holding her carefully. Miyako moved forward, capturing Hikari's soft lips in her own. The older girl's tongue livened, quickly darting from the warm shelter of its mouth to the entrance of Hikari's. The slick muscle played over the part of the brunette's lips, asking for entrance, which Hikari willingly gave it.

Hikari was blown away by the kiss- she had never imagined it could feel anything like this… Miyako's tongue played with Hikari's, then flicking about within the girl's mouth. When Miyako parted from Hikari, she left the younger girl panting, her face flushed, and her whole body shaking softly. Miyako grinned, loving the feeling of Hikari's lips against her own.

"W-..wow…" Hikari stuttered in amazement.

Hikari stared at Miyako, her arms still wrapped her. Welling up inside her was a feeling Hikari never thought she would feel for Miyako- love. Strong friendship had always been there, but this feeling was more… She cared for Miyako more then she did anyone else, in a way that she could only be explained by her as love… She'd only felt a feeling close to this for Takeru, but compared to this, that was a mere drop in the bucket. She wasn't sure what to do next, until a thought crossed her mind. It seemed absurd at first, but as she thought it over, she only wanted it to happen more.

"Miyako…" Hikari started, continuing to look at the violet haired girl. "Could we… I mean… Can I…"

As Hikari struggled to find the words, Miyako seemed to sense the importance of what she had to say.

"Can I… Give myself to you?" Hikari finally finished, biting her lip.

Miyako's eyes widened at the words.

"You mean… You want to… with me…?" Miyako said, surprise filling her voice.

Hikari nodded slowly, her eyes staying locked on the taller girl. Miyako had always hoped that Hikari could like her back… But this… This was something from her dreams… For her love to be returned… For Hikari give her greatest, most personal, and most secret gift- herself –totally and completely to Miyako like this…

"Are… Are you sure?" Miyako said, wanting to be absolutely certain.

Hikari nodded again, her lip trembling slightly. A joy filled Miyako's heart- a joy that could only have been caused by this. Such an overpowering happiness that coursed through her, making any and every problem melt away into nothingness. She leaned forward again, kissing Hikari passionately, her deep love for the girl infusing with the kiss. Her oral embrace with Hikari lasted only a few moments, but again left the younger girl breathless.

Miyako looked at her friend thoughtfully, milling everything over in her mind, seeing the sincerity of Hikari's words in her eyes; seeing how serious she was about her request- she wanted Miyako to be her first… The thought of making love to the beautiful girl who was sitting on her bed, looking lovingly and nervously back at her made Miyako's heart melt and race at the same time.

"Alright…" Miyako said, placing her hand on Hikari's cheek, touching her softly; almost comfortingly.

Here's where the lemon scene is… Fanfiction dot net doesn't like my lemon scenes, so in order to view it, I've put up a site. To see this, you can click to view my profile and click my site. From there, on the left menu click Digimon, and then chapter two of A Friend's Embrace.

Alternatively, you can copy and paste this- hztztzpz:z/z/zfzrzezez.zhzozsztzuzlztzrzaz.zczozmz/zzNzizgzhztzmzazrzezDzrzezazmzsz/zizmzdzazfzez2z.zhztzmzlz#zlzezmzozn -in the address bar of your browser, removing the z's. Also, you may need to put in the squiggle (Shift + the key to the left of '1') before the 'NightmareDreams' part… For some reason, ffdotnet doesn't like it either, and removes it sometimes…

Sorry for it being such a hassle…

"Miyako…" she whispered, after sitting in silence for a moment.

"Hmmm?" Miyako replied, each breath she took taking in some of Hikari's essence.

"I love you…"

Miyako's eyes opened from behind the sleepily drooping lids that had started to cover them upon hearing Hikari's words.

"I… I love you too…" Miyako whispered back.

And then they said no more. They laid beneath the blankets, their nude bodies clutching the others tightly in a loving hold. Hikari had had the most intense two days in her life… Laying there in Miyako's arms, hearing the girl's slow, rhythmic heartbeat, feeling her deep breaths, it was hard to believe that that morning she had felt unwanted… unliked… and unloved…

No, Hikari was loved; very much so by Miyako. She took Miyako's words to heart-

"…no matter what happens, you are safe in my arms…"

In no other place would she feel more safe, more cared for or more loved. And with that, Hikari slowly fell into a deep, restful sleep, still in a friend's embrace.
