Shitza: Kind of an unusual one-shot this time. So the pairing is slightly different, with some light love as well. Now, saying light love I don't mean that this is almost no love in the scenery. It's more love in this then normal, but still kept within the ratings.

When reading this, please keep in mind it is written as if someone would be there telling the story rather then writing it.

Pairing: Takouji and ... Agunimon/Lobomon, Kouji/Kouichi (brotherly love- always brotherly love since I can't see how you fall in love with your own brother/sister well, in that way)

Status: One-Shot... haven't you guys guessed yet? Only one-shots here!

Rating: T

A Flame of Love

It was to begin with a complete normal day. Takuya lay on his bed, holding his cell phone in his hand. he was waiting for an imposrtant call. It was the yearly meeting between the digidestined and he only now had one person who needed to call back. Kouji... the raven-haired teen was on Kendo practise and had said he'd call as soon as he got out from the training hall.

It was not like Takuya was bored or anything, I mean he was simply waiting, counting the seconds that passed. Suddenly his mobile vibrated. He almost jumped of his bed in surprise but in the end he managed to pick it up. Indeed it was Kouji on the other side of the end, sounding tired, but well, his usual self. The raven-haired teen hadn't changed the slightest. not that takuya did care, he loved Kouji the way he was.

Wait a minute... love... not possible, is it? What do you think?

Indeed, there is a slight humour in this story, for you see Takuya did love his best friend and would love to share his days with him. However there is a problem that he didn't know how to say so, and more of it. Did Kouji love him back? Takuya was dead frightened to have his heart ripped out. There for the question still burned and remained.

"Hello Takuya, still up?"

Takuya chuckled. It was midnight, Kouji had late practises. "You bet on that. You said you'd call back so I waited."

Kouji sighed on the other end. "You're impossible, you know that. Fine, Izumi told me earlier there will be the usual picnic in the park tomorrow. Care to join? Or do you have other things on mind?"

Takuya snorted. "Now what would that be? You know me, of course I'm comming. I've been waiting for hours for this call."

He could hear Kouji snort as well. "Sure you will, I know you Takuya. Howevere, could you do me a favour. Could I sleep over at your place, dad and my step mom is having a huge feast and I'd hate to ruin the party. Is it okay if I come over?"

Takuya felt his heart race. "Of course. Mum and dad are out, Shinya is with Tomoki. Sure, of course!"

Takuya could really imagine Kouji rolling his eyes at this. "You're weird, you know that!" he said before hanging up. Takuya did the same, cheering.

Later that evening Takuya and Kouji slept together in the same bed, too tired to go finding the extra bed from some corner whichcould be anywhere. Takuya lay curled up close to Kouji, feeling the other boy breath on his neck, sending pleasent shivers down his spine. Something weird happened this night, and I'm not talking about something incredible or a wonder. It was the dream they had, it was the dream they had together.
Everything seemed so perfect. The sky was shining in a deep pink colour. Two human spirits lay on the green grass. One looked more wolfish while the other one had yellow mane for hair, mixed with the fire he posessed. the other, the wolf, possessed a great light that luminated them before the world. They were lovers, they loved each other.

The wolf was called Lobomon, legendary warrior of Light. The other creature, which I don't know what to call so for now it will be creature, was called Agunimon.

The two of them murmured and whispered words of love towards each other. Only a few yards away Kouji stood watching the scene. It was pretty erotic, but the details are not yet to be described here.

Takuya stood on the other side, watching the same feeling how his heart reflected this memory.

The two teens looked up, their eyes met filled with passion and love.

Do keep in mind that this is a dream, for the next moment the scene of Agunimon and Lobomon disappeared. Now Kouji couldn't believe his eyes as Takuya's image disappeared to be replaced by Agunimon, and yet he still felt drawn to him. The wolf digimon walked over to him, as Agunimon neared. Takuya's breath ceased as his or Lobomon's lips found his. The fire digimon moaned as Lobomon kissed him, played with his hair and spoke to him like the scene before.

Maybe the scene they had seen had been them, and maybe not because they did not know. Their kisses became more and more hungry as hours continued and the sun finally set. However, around them, a light shone luminating them before everyone's eyes.

The two digimon closed their eyes, never wanting this moment to end. Then...

BEEP BEEP BEEP

What was that? You can perhaps guess...

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEEEEEEEEEP!

Kouji groaned opening his eyes. It had been annoying hearing the sound of Takuya's alarmclock going on. The dream returned to his mind.

Takuya was still asleep and he was closest to the alarmclock.

"What the fuck, Takuya! Wake up!" he called sitting up, shaking the sleepy teen.

"Five more minutes, mum!" Takuya said moaning. Kouji sighed as Takuya slowly opened his eyes. The alarmclock was still ringing.

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEEEEEEEEEP!

A sleepy hand smashed the top of the clock as Takuya rolled back to sleep. Kouji sighed, it was Sunday. Why on Earth would Takuya want to have his alarm clock going on their only free day? Made no sense.

Kouji slowly got tired of Takuya's "laziness" and in the end he did something cruel. Pushed his best friend out from the bed. Takuya rolled out, poked his head up so that he could see Kouji who was having a sort of amused expression on his face. Takuya laghed first before attacking Kouji with his pillow. Feathers flew around and that was when Mrs Kanbara and Shinya, whom had returned late during the night, opened the door to see all the feathers. Takuya's mother had a strict conversation with her eldest son about things being allowed in the house, not to mention how old he was. In the end, Kouji and Takuya had to make a huge cleaning process out of it.

As you can guess, with the addition about the feathers, Kouji and Takuya arrived late towards the annual meeting. izumi was unpacking a picnic basket. Junpei sat by the river, fishing together with Tomoki. Kouichi helped Izumi, but really the girl didn't need any help and spent a lot of time trying to make him stop. She was the first to notice the late arrivals.

"You are late!" she said stiffly smacking Kouichi's hands away from the plates.

"It wasn't my fault!" Takuya said complaining.

Kouji frowned. "Sure, and who decided to start a pillow fight when his own mother stepped inside?" he asked.

Takuya raised his hands in defeat and went to join Junpei and Tomoki's fishing game.

Izumi sighed once more showing away Kouichi's helping hands. "Kouji, get your brother away from here before I whack him on the head!" she yelled. Kouji sighed, grabbed his twin brother by the arm pulling him away.

The two twins went a bit further away so that they could talk in private.

"Kouichi, why do you always have to be so helpful? Some people don't need help twenty-four hours a day. Couldn't you understand Izumi wanted to do things on her own?"

Kouichi looked sort of ashamed. "I just wanted to help." he said in defence. "I mean, she had some problems, I wanted to assist her."

"Obviously she didn't need it, she did smack your hand away twice as I watched her. You're hopeless, you know that."

Kouichi sighed. "I know!" he said sounding annoyed. Kouji then smiled and hugged his brother. Kouichi hugged him back.

After two minutes or so they let go. Kouichi asked him some things, one being rather interesting. D'you want to know? I bet you do!

"So, have you told him yet?" Kouichi asked in a low voice.

"Told who?" Kouji asked.

"Takuya!"

"No, not yet."

"How come?"

"Kouichi, how do you tell a guy that probably cares more of girls that you love him, espacially when he's your best friend?"

"I can't see the problem. Best friend would mean less problems."

Kouji glared at him. "Being best friends causes more problems. I'd lose both his love and his friendship."

Kouichi laughed. "You know, Izumi reckons he likes you back. Please tell him, we all want to know. Please!"

Kouichi did the adoreable puppy eyes that even Kouji couldn't resist. Kouji sighed. "Fine!" he said. Kouichi cheered and looked hyper as they headed back towards the picnic where the other four teens talked about the digimon adventures.

Do you think Kouji kept his promise with his older twin brother? No, he couldn't. The years went by and suddenly Takuya's family was leaving. Takuya turned up one day crying saying how his parents would start working in America. takuya was heartbroken and they could see why. he never wanted to leave, but had been down voted by his parents and his younger brother. They all switched every possible number and adress so that they still would be able to keep contect. Unfortunatelly it was not another apppartment they were moving to. it was an old farm with no electricity or telephone. What a horrible dream!

Three years went with no words and slowly the group continued. The happy group of six people became five, but they didn't give up hoping. Now, Kouji, Kouichi and Izumi were 23, Junpei 24 and Tomoki 21, all working in different places. Junpei was a techniquan by Rock Conserts, Tomoki a snowboard champion, Izumi a flight attendant, Kouichi, author of their adventures now publiced as the Digimon Frontier Adventures. Kouji worked on different companies with more paperwork and such.

Still, no matter what had happened in his life, one thing haunted him and that was a dream. Every night when he had fallen asleep the strange dream about him, Takuya, Lobomon and Agunimon reappeared. It only made his love for the brunette grow. But he guessed Takuya had to be taken already.

There had been no words for years. Poor guy!

A lot had happened. They had met other digidestined. A group from Odaiba with a huge amount of people, all whom had digimon partners. Another group from another part of Japan, who had told a fantastic tale about how they evolved with their digimons, forged together as one. It all had caused havoc to his brother who was typing everything down. He called the first group from Odaiba 01 ans 02. The next were called Digimon Tamers.

Still something was missing. Takuya!

He was so close to give up. So close to forget. but he couldn't. Not as long as the dreams haunted him.

He sighed. Took his suitcaes and walked back home. It was raining, but he didn't care. he would care none less if a car would hit him or something. Just let this crucial fate end.

Izumi dried the sweat on her forehead. it was a busy flight from new York to her home town. A huge group of people sat, some asleep, some hyper and awake. Kids played, teens ignored orders and older ladies complained about everything. She shivered looking at the guy reading the news paper. There was something familiar about him, something that scared her.

A black suitcase stood by his feet. he was talking with an heavy American accent. It was lunch and somehow she had to serve him.

"Excuse me!" she said in perfect English. The guy folded the newspaper and looked up at her. She almost dropped the tray as she recognised him.

"Oh my God, Takuya! Is that really you?"

The brown haired man smiled. "Izumi, didn't know you worked here. it's a small world!" he said switching back to Japanese.

Izumi smiled. "What's new in japan?" he asked.

"Well..." Izumi began. "Junpei, Kouji, Kouichi and I graduated five years ago from school. We were picked with job offers being model students and such with loads of recoments from our teachers. Junpei reread one year because of some evil teacher. Anyway, we are all working hard now. junpei works at the old consert hall, he makes all the spcial affects for the rock and pop conserts shown now.

Kouichi is writing, and he is selling millions every year being one of the most famous authors in Japan. He's been writing about us, and about other digidestined and their journeys.I had never know us to be so many. It surprised me. I'm jealous though, they have digimon partners. You know I met a girl who had a Palmon, a man had a Gabumon, his brother had a Patamon and his date had a Gatomon. It was really cool!

Tomoki is a ski and snowboard pro these days, he competes for Japan in all kinds of winter games. He's been voted to play in the Olympics as well next year. It's wonderful! He's so excited.

Kouji is working in different companies. He never settles anywhere. I think he has switched position three times only this year. But still so he hasn't changed much, he misses you though."

Takuya smiled. At least his friends had been able to continue even if he wasn't amng them. he just hoped he could meet them again, now he was moving back home again.

"What about you, what have you been up to?" Izumi asked.

Takuya smiled. "I'm part owner of Flaguni co." he said proudly.(Fla and Aguni, get it?)

Izumi once more had to steady herself and the tray. "Flaguni, wow! It's the third greatest company in the world right now!"

Takuya smiled. izumi though had to continue giving out lunches seeing her friends on the plane started to get angrier seeing she had stopped to serve the meal. They could talk later. Right now she had to go back to work.

(The Day after)

Kouji sniffed in ed. he had to call his boss saying he was ill again. This was the second time in three weeks he had recieved fever and cold sue to rain. Kouichi had often said he would kill himself doing this in the future.

Kouji sighed. This time the dram had been different. The man in his dream was much older the the picture of takuya so many years ago. He couldn't believe it, but he suspected he had been shown how Takuya looked now and it only felt worse. Takuya was even prettier then ever. Not much had changed around him. he sighed again, coughing.

He hated his life, he hated his home, he hatd everything except for Takuya. takuya had been his flame of life, but now it was gone.

"Please, angels of the sky. just let me see him, one last time before I die."

He was about to fall into sleep when the door opened. he sat up thinking it was a burglar or something. But a blonde haired woman entered. he should have known. it had been a mistake to lend the spare key to Izumi.

"HI Kouji, how do you feel?" she asked. She heard a murmur for reponse.

"I just wanted to drop of an old frien of mine. he simply needs somwhere to sleep till he can get an appartment of his own. Is that okay with you?"

He grunted in response and hid under his blanket. Someone chuckled, he didn't know who?

"I'll leave you two then to get to know each other better." she said closing the door behind her. Kouji sighed. Life surely was cruel!

He could hear the sound of bags hitting the floor. Kouji mumbled from beneath the blankets. "I have no idea who you are, I'm sick so please don't bother me."

The person walked up to him and suddenly tossed the blanket down from his head. Kouji winced as the light hit his eyes.

"Didn't you hear what I..."

Kouji's jaw dropped. This couldn't be true. This had to be a dream! No way, no fucking...!"

"Kouji, long time no see!" a happy voice said. Tears flowed down their eyes. Kouji stared at Takuya, who looked so good now it was like the light overpowering the darkness. takuya had a hard time not to blink watching how much prettier Kouji had gotten over the years.

Their brains must have been malfunctioning. Well, ladies and gentlemen time for some romance at last! Their heads leaned closer, their lips met before they even knew it. Soft kisses played as the two of them worked out some sort of music between them, making them even wamer. Their hirts were of and thus so this scene closes.

Do you think there will be many more moments like this? Well, for some plans works and for some plans fails. this was a plan that had succeeded. From a window into the human world, Agunimon and lobomon stood watching the two human warriors love each other like they never had before. years of wanting flowed out from their bodies emmitting a radiant heat. Lobomon chuckled, kissing his love.

"Let's leave them alone. The pla worked. now there is nothing to stop our love!" Lobomon said taking Agunimon's hand.

And so this story finishes. Love will always remain as long as you don't give up on it. never stop loving, it's one of the great gifts.

The End

Shitza: Some people wonders if there can be some kind of sequels to the one-shots. Well,I can try sometime. there is a favour as it seems to continue the previous one.

Thanks to:

Bonnie Mizuhara Asakura

LZfOx1379: Yes, I can do that. You only need to give me some information about yourself. You can send it through e-mail or through your next review. No worries, I never hand out information. You are not the first one with that sort of request.

End Notes: Wow, feels like I've been typing for ages. Anyway, he you enjoyed. I can write a sequel to this, but if you really want one then I'm sorry to announce it will probably land up on adultfiction. I already crossed a lot of new borders writing this sometimes I didn't dare continue. Okay, I am a softy writing love scenes, but that's because I would hate to cross the line on again.
