Shitza: Okay, I know writing fics during school is a very bad idea, especially when you are supposed to read a book in English class. But, I finished that ages ago, too bad huh? Started this during class in English, can you really say I did something wrong? This is English after all. Well, I never got far, so I'm finishing it at home. First four lines though came from school and are unedited. Some of the flashbacks are written at school as well.

Takuya's POV… will soon change somewhere to a normal POV
Can a day get much worse! I feel so bored! Of all places on Earth school has to be terror nr 1. The teacher stands by the black board writing down instructions as time ticks away. It is so boring, I can still not understand much. Izumi is in the same class as me, she's by the front row taking notes of everything said. Izumi is really a high score in English, still she has told us all about her trips to England and those sort of things. I have to say I kind of feel jealous. She did all those notes but really wouldn't have to practise. Italian girl!
I sighed looking at the empty seat beside me. It's been two years already since Kouji had moved yet again. Gods knew where he could be, but I miss him. I think about him every day. Jesus, I'm such a fool. I'm a real idiot. I should have thought about it earlier, but now it's too late. I should never have told him my feelings, for now he is gone.
I try to pull myself together, preventing the tears from coming. Kouji's brother Kouichi looks at me from the middle of the classroom. Kouichi's at the front desk of mine. He is a bit alike his brother. He looks the same, except for the hair. Still he is not Kouji, or I might have fallen for him.
I still can remember Kouji's anger when I had told him. It had been some weeks after our journey in the Digital World. I had finally got the courage to tell him, to tell him how I really felt. But then, something had gone wrong. Kouji hadn't felt happy; instead he had looked so sad. Then he had screamed at me, if I ever showed my face before him it would be the last thing I would remember. I've never seen him so angry, or sad before. My heart had been broken, and after that I had never dared going out with anyone. People, boys and girls had asked. Now though, I was the freak in the classroom. What had happened to the courageous boy defeating Lucemon with his friends? That boy had become a coward.
The bell rang, thankfully releasing them from the hot classroom. It was soon time for a month vacation. Summer vacation. Most of his classmates couldn't wait. Izumi thought her way over to Kouichi and Takuya, who was packing his bag to get home.
"So, what are you going to do this summer?" she asked them happily. "I'm going to Italy for a week, going to visit my grandfather. He makes the best pizza I've ever tasted!"
Kouichi smiled. "I have no such plans. But I have plans, you see. I got picked for the Tennis tour! But before that, it's the feast at my house. I've already invited everyone else."
"Really?" Takuya asked.
Izumi squealed and congratulated him. Kouichi smiled back kissing her forehead. The two giggled making Takuya feel in a worse mood then before. He felt so left out! A tear trickled down his cheek, and he hurried to dry it away.
"How about you Takuya?" Kouichi asked, holding his arm around his girlfriend's waist. Takuya sighed.
"Nothing, absolutely nothing." He said. Izumi stared at him.
"Takuya?"
"I'll go and drown myself!" he said before leaving the classroom. The two friends looked at him, wondering what was going on.
Kouichi put his hand into his pocket and took out his cell. He would need help.
Takuya stood on the bridge of the park, gazing down into the deep water.
"You are lucky!" he told the river. All you have to do is to follow the stream, leading out to the ocean. You don't have to worry about love and about how much another person hates you. You simply exist."
His heart was broken; there was really nothing in this world for him to live for. He sighed, dropped his bag. He could end this now. He could end this and let Kouji finally go. He didn't want to let him go, he loved him so much. But Kouji didn't love him back, he couldn't love him back. His whole life seemed so pointless. He simply wished it all ended. He would make everything end.
Not caring about taking any breath at all he dived from the bridge into the water. He surely made sure his head was under water as he sat on the bottom. The seconds passed, his lungs screamed for air, but he didn't care. He wanted to do this.
Soon he passed out. But not before he saw someone dive in after him.
Then it all went black.
(Flashback)
Rain smattered on the thin glass. The sky was dark, the clouds rumbled from above. The wonderful summer was slowly leaving. Kouji sat on a chair, his head resting on his arms that lay on the windowsill. His bandanna lay in his lap. His mind was empty and sad, like the clouds outside.
His life was a mess. At least once a day Kouichi would call him and tell him of all fun they were having. How Izumi and he was dating. How Junpei had tricked Takuya into the ladies room ad been labelled as a pervert. Kouji sighed. They were all having fun and what was he? Bored to death, the lone wolf, and the freak. Moving around, never staying at one place.
He looked out on the street. Only a year ago Takuya had confessed that he was in love, with him! It had been such a shock he had told him of before even having time to think about it. When he had returned home that day his cheeks had been rather red, as a new dimension had opened before him. His mind kept on racing by memories of their adventure and the more he thought about it the more he couldn't stop thinking about him. He now knew why and he cursed himself for his actions. He was in love with him. He loved Takuya.
"Takuya" he said staring out through the window. The rain started to pour down even worse as lightning flashed over his head.
"Takuya" he said with sorrow in his eyes. Pearly tears trickled down his cheeks, dropped down on top of his bandanna. His eyes were glazed over with tears.
He had never felt this sad before, now every day felt meaningless. The sky rumbled above as he made his decision. He would return to his friends. He just needed to make his dad move back. Perhaps, he could stay to live with his mum and twin. He was sure Kouichi would be happy to see him again.
(End Flashback)
Kouji looked in fright, as Takuya lay on the ground, alive but looking so dead. He sat rubbing the brunette's back. Water came from the brunette's mouth. It looked as if he had swallowed a lake or something. The brunette coughed a few times.
"K-Kouji?"
Kouji sighed in relief. He would have to thank his brother later, after all it had been Kouichi to call him telling him something was wrong with Takuya and he also told him what he had said. Kouji had hurried as fast as he could.
He hadn't been to school, even if he was back together with his friends and love.
The reason…
(Flashback)
He was finally home. His father had finally, after a lot of talks, speeches, rows and arguments, allowed him to move to his mother's house. Kouji was so happy when he met Kouichi at the airport. The two twins, the Yin and Yang, were finally together again. His brother had taken his heavy bag for him as they made their way towards the exit, looking for their mother.
Kouichi told him about the sad tales. Takuya was very down these days and he became more and more distant from all his friends. Kouji would sign in for school as soon as everything was set. The two brothers planned to make Kouji's home arrival as a surprise to everyone, especially Takuya. The youngest of the twins could feel all happiness burst out thinking how soon everything would be back to normal. Indeed, it would be better then normal.
Kouichi had gone to school as Kouji unpacked his bags. The twins shared room, sleeping in a bunk bed with Kouji sleeping on the bottom and Kouichi sleeping on the top. The reason for this was Kouji sleeping closer to the lamp, yet he would never admit that.
Tomoko kissed both her sons that morning, so happy to see them finally together again. Now Kouji and Kouichi were having a fit of laughter as the young mother entered the room. Kouichi had woken up his brother by a playful tickle attack. The two boys lay on their stomachs, rolling with laughter.
"Bye mum!" Kouichi said as their mother left. He then turned back to continue attacking his very ticklish brother.
Some minutes later Kouichi had to leave for school, yet he promised he would be back as soon as he could. Kouji tossed him an apple on the way out, grinning.
Kouichi grinned back. Kouji stayed in the house to unpack all his stuff, putting his things in shelves.
A few hours later he would get the phone call from his brother, and hurry to save the day.
(End Flashback)
Takuya opened his eyes to see Kouji looking down at him. The brunette couldn't believe his eyes. Surely he must be in heaven… no, if so why was Kouji there?
Kouji smiled down at him, then he lay down beside him. Takuya stared at him. They hadn't seen each other for two years and both couldn't stop thinking how beautiful the other one looked. Kouji moved closer to Takuya, their bodies now touching. Takuya held his breath as the other teen moved even closer and closer, soon hugging him.
'I must be dreaming' he thought as Kouji removed the goggles and hat. Kouji kissed his forehead, moving down towards his mouth. Takuya closed his eyes.
"K-Kouji?" he said in disbelief. "W-What are you…"
"Shut up." Kouji said silently. "Let me do this before I start changing my mind again."
Takuya smiled, as the kisses grew more and more passionate. Above them the sun was shining brightly. No matter rain or thunder, there would always be a sun in their hearts now.
The End
Shitza: Wow, my third One-Shot is finished. This wasn't long, but I still hope you enjoyed. I surely enjoy writing them. Aw, Takouji is so cute. Want me to write more? There will be more if I do manage to figure a new one out.
