Everyone Has Secrets
Chapter 2- Early Wake Up Calls
(Koushiro POV)
Koushiro was awoken by Taichi shaking him lightly. He pushed the brunet away from him and looked at his watch, 5:30am.
'Why the hell did Taichi wake me up so early, it's not like he will think of anything genius this early in the morning anyways...'
"Taichi it's so early, why did you have to wake me up so early?" he asked rubbing his eyes.
"Well, it wouldn't be fair if I woke up everyone else but you, besides, I let you sleep in an extra 30 seconds." Taichi laughed messing up Koushiro's already messy hair.
"Thanks..." he responded sarcastically, sitting up. He looked around and noticed everyone else has also been woken up.
"So, I assume that you are all wondering why Taichi and I woke you all up so damn early this morning." Yamato said yawning. "Well I am not sure of that either, all I know is that it better be something good Taichi."
"Don't worry it is! You see, since Digi World time passes faster than here, we should try to think of something as fast as we can, so I figured if we had everyone thinking of a plan this early we could get there before a new day starts!" the brunet laughed worriedly as everyone glared at him.
"Well as much as I would like to kick some bad Digimon's ass, I think that you two aught to be the ones thinking of a plan, since it seems as if we all had only had a few hours sleep." Hikari said standing up, stretching.
"Hey! That's no fair! You guys have to help too!" Taichi shot at her younger sister.
"And why am I part of this? I didn't want to be on Taichi's side in the first place, he made me wake you guys up!" Yamato tried to fight.
Sora finally got up and rolled her eyes at the two boys who were now arguing about why Yamato helped Taichi. "Look, we will try to think of something too, but you two bickering and arguing like this isn't going to help much. We will all sit around here, or whatever, while you two go into the Digital World and update us on what's going on, and then we will give you some ideas, but you have to think of our next move. Actually once you are done all that you can notify Mimi on what is going on."
"I'm up for that idea, I'll make breakfast even, as long as I don't have to do any major planning this early." Takeru said heading into the Kido's kitchen.
After a bit more arguing between Taichi and Yamato, everyone was finally doing what they were supposed to be doing. Koushiro sat on the couch beside Jyou and sighed.
'Maybe I can get Jyou to come on a walk with me, that way I can try to see if he has a good enough secret yet to tell me in exchange for mine. I also haven't been spending too much time alone with him, the last time was when Weregarurumon and Metalgraymon carried us and Takeru off to safety when Takeru hurt his ankle, but even then they weren't completely alone. Takeru was barely asleep and he could have heard us at any time. Well there is no harm in asking him.'
"Want to go on a walk or something Jyou, it should be nice and cool out seeing that it is almost 6 in the morning." he asked casually.
"Sure Kou, there really isn't much to do in my house anyways, seeing that my room is off limits at the moment to Sora and Hikari who are doing god knows what." He got up and put his sweater on.
"Hey, Takeru, try not to burn down anything while I'm out of the house for a bit, my parents would kill me!" Jyou called to the younger boy in the kitchen. Hearing a laugh in response he opened the door and walked out into the cool air with Koushiro.
'God, he's so beautiful...'
"Koushiro, you look cold, do you want to get a sweater?" Jyou asked politely. Koushiro shook his head.
"Here lets go sit down over there, so if anyone comes looking for us we won't be too far away." the child computer genius said pointing to a bench. "So, do you still think that Taichi and Yamato secretly have something going on?"
Jyou thought for a moment. "It's still hard to say, but I think if we caught them in the act I wouldn't be surprised at all. I mean sometimes they are about to kill each other, and others they seem to be flirting..."
"Sora would definitely be heart broken, she would probably move to America to be with Mimi just to complain to her about it." Koushiro laughed. "Hey that reminds me, didn't she have a crush on you?"
Jyou's eyes widened at this comment. "Me? I was thinking that she had a crush on you! Don't you ever see the way she looks at you?"
"She was practically always following you around, she thought I was too interested on computers to have a physical relationship, so even if she did ever like me she quickly fell for you! I even thought that you had a thing for her." Koushiro asked, slipping the last comment into to find out if it were true from what Yamato had said.
"Why would someone ever fall for me? Plus, I am definitly not her type, and I do not like her, so even if she did like me it would have never worked out." the blue haired boy said bundling himself up better.
"What's not to like? Your tall, smart, cute, funny, I can see why she likes you." Koushiro smiled trying to act friendly, but blushed slightly anyways.
'Oh, he better not see me blushing, if he does that will be the end of me, I do not have the guts to tell him today, it's just way to early, and I am not ready yet.'
"Thanks" Jyou said smiling, also a slight blush coming over his pale cheeks.
'Was he blushing? That's impossible, he was probably just embarrassed, I would be too if someone said that to me.'
"But believe me, I'm not her type." Jyou said once more, giving Koushiro a puzzled look.
"I don't know why you arn't her type, she would know if you weren't. I mean we have all been friends for quite awhile. I think she probably knows everything you are illergic to by know! I think even I do!" Koushiro laughed, Jyou's expression didn't change.
"Remember how you told me you would tell me your crush if I told you a secret? Well if I guess your crush, would you tell me if I am right? And if I am wrong I will tell you one of my secrets and you can tell me one of yours, preferably who this crush is?" the blue haired boy asked nervously.
"I guess that sounds reasonable. Who do you think I like?"
"Mimi?" Jyou asked without even thinking. Koushiro laughed.
"Nope, it's not Mimi, not even close. I don't even know how you thought that. Well you promised me. What is your secret?" Koushiro asked very curiously, looking at Jyou.
' Whatever he tells me now, will not change the fact that I will not tell him that I am in love with him today. I don't think that anything he can say can even make me admit I have feelings for a boy.'
"As long as your promise to still be my friend, don't make fun of me or laugh?" Jyou asked and Koushiro nodded agreeing. "Well the truth is, that, well. The reason I'm not Mimi's type is that. I figured out a while ago, that, I'm..."Jyou started flushing red, and he played with his glasses nervously. "I'm, or I think I'm, gay."
" Holy shit, what did he just say. Oh my god please tell me that he's joking, please tell me that he is just playing a sick trick on me. If he is gay that means I have a chance with him, still slim to none, but I have a better chance than when I thought he was straight. Oh my god, what should I say.'
"Prodigious!" the red head burst out in shock. Jyou gave him a confused look. " I mean, that's great, I mean, wow, I mean. I don't know what I mean. How long have you known you were?"
Jyou smiled. "I'm taking that you don't hate me and you accept me for who I am and not for who I am attracted to. I have known for a while, can't say how long, I guess I kind have always known. You are the only one I have ever told though, my brother is on to me, but I don't think I am ready to tell him. So Koushiro, I think you owe me on a secret.
"Well I think what I have to say is suitable for this situation. If you must know the person I am in love with is also a male. I don't know if I am gay, I mean I don't like any girls, but I am not attracted to any other guy besides him."
"Wow, well this is interesting. Two of us, sitting her, good friends, both into boys. Who would have guessed that? I wonder if Yamato and Taichi are really gay or bisexual, that would be so weird, having almost the entire of the male Digidestend' be like this." Jyou laughed.
Koushiro smiled. "Do you have your eyes on anyone?"
"Well, I guess it is only fair that you know that I also really like someone, actually I love them. Hey I have an idea. If you promise to hint towards who you like, I will do the same. Not telling them anything, just minor things, so we both can pick on on eachothers crushs a little faster than trying to read eachothers minds."
'This sucks, now I know he likes a boy, but what if it is Yamato or something, he said it is more than a crush, which would mean it is nearly impossible for me to win him. Well I guess I can't say that I have no hope until I pick up on something...'
"Sounds good to me." Koushiro smiled. "Well I would love to stay out here longer, but I assume that Taichi would have thought of a plan by now. I think we should start heading back."
"Ya your right, Koushiro, you still look really cold, here stay closer to me so you don't freeze in your t-shirt." the blue haired boy said politely.
"Thanks Jyou." Koushiro smiled, trying not to think of this as a hint that his crush likes him back.
"Anything." Jyou responded.
