I don't own Digimon Adventure 02 charas.
Star: o.o they're just friends, what Daiyako? . innocent look and it's nice that you do, cuz I'm still not sure what went on between Dai and Ken XP plans next chappie evilly
Tariki Rania: wait for next chappie :P this one's Miyako centered.
Sapphire Luna: Ken's a bit pushy and possessive in here, forgive the poor thing
M1s7ress: o.o; we can start a union. "people who think Suffering Angel is evil" .
Einatsu: …hentai. I love you 3 :P
Last note for this: Kaa-san and Kaa-chan are two ways to call one's mother, Miyako's using them both to different her mothers. The tad more formal one goes to Sora, and the more personal goes to Mimi based on their personalities, even though in a way she's closer to Sora than Mimi due to Mimi's work.
Warning: this is a Miyako based chappie. All you people who are here only for Daiken fluff, first, I hate you :P second, sorry, but you'll have to wait.
Love Headache
It was the day after "Dai-chan's bit date", as Miyako had marked down on her calendar, but the girl felt exactly the same as any other day as she prepared for school. If anything, she felt worse, and not because she woke up half an hour earlier than usual. The cause was probably that she had her own problems. Romantic problems.
"Miiiiyaaaaa You up yet?"
Came her mother's beautiful voice from the other side of the door, just as the girl was putting the last touches to her hair.
"Hai."
"Come on, then, breakfast's ready."
She did as she was told and followed Mimi downstairs to where Sora was already waiting. Unlike Daisuke, whose parents have chosen to live in a simple house, Mimi placed her family in a penthouse on top of one of Tokyo's prestige apartment buildings. Even though she herself, much like Yamato, wasn't home much, she much prefered her wife and daughter (officially just high school friend and her adopted daughter) to live somewhere where the press couldn't reach them.
"Saaa, hurry, hurry, eat up! We don't want the meal I made for you to get cold, right?"
Mimi asked with a grin, pecking Sora on the cheek before sitting down next to her around the small round kitchen table. Miyako sighed as she poked her meal with her fork.
"Now now, that won't do, you have to be healthy and cheerful today for your big make up with Hikari-chan!"
If anything, it made Miyako lose the last bit of interest in the plate's content.
"Mimi, you're being nosy."
Sora said casually, making the other woman pout.
"But, but, but…"
"It's ok, Kaa-san. Kaa-chan was just worried about me… but I'm fine, really!"
To prove her words, the girl took a bite out of her meal and smiled.
"It's really good, Kaa-chan!"
The pink haired woman beamed.
"Isn't it?! I've really outdone myself this time!"
"Mimi, you're bragging."
Sora said casually, making the other woman pout.
"But, but, but…"
The conversation stopped as Miyako's watched beeped, making her grab a few more bites before jumping up, bag in hand.
"I gotta go."
"WAIT!"
Mimi shouted, stopping the girl right before she left.
"Wha, what?"
Hurriedly, the woman grabbed a small sack from the counter and handed it to her daughter.
"I don't care if the fight was your fault or hers, and no way am I telling you to give this as an apology, but a token of good will never hurt anyone."
"Other than Europe before World War 2…"
Sora commented, yet neither heard her.
If there was one thing Miyako knew about her famous mother, it was that when it came to tips concerning relationships, she had little mistakes. Miyako had yet to see one.
"You didn't have to stay home late just to bake these… or to cook breakfast, for that matter."
The girl said albeit bitterly, surprising the woman.
Just like Daisuke and Yamato, she rarely saw Mimi. Yet unlike Daisuke, Miyako had a harder time showing her anger, as well as dealing with it. The best she managed was completely uncalled for self blame.
"I could've just bought something on the way… that's what I was going to do, anyways…"
Before the woman could reply, the girl was already out the door and down the elevator. And then Mimi felt Sora's hands sneak around her waists, pulling her close.
"I know, I know…"
"You did nothing wrong."
"I said I know. Twice. Three now."
"I still wanted to say it."
"…I just… want her to be as happy as we are."
"So why don't we let her be for a while? Let her find her own way around."
"…Like you did with me?"
"You know it."
"…I'm worried about her, Sora."
"We're both going to be late."
"Yeah…"
Sora was about to let go and get ready to leave, when Mimi grabbed her, giving her wife a passionate kiss. Sora blinked as the broke apart, shocked yet hardly displeased.
"Don't worry so much. Both of us, her and me, will be ok."
Faced with a wide smile, the brunette had no choice but to respond with one of her own.
–
'What am I doing?'
Miyako thought as she walked down the street, the little cookie pouch in her hands still.
'I… can't give this to Hikari-chan…'
She closed her eyes, thinking back to the last time she brought Mimi's cookies as a peace offering.
"So, your mom made these, eh?"
Hikari said, her voice harsh and cold.
"You don't love me enough to bake them yourself, huh? Or at least buy something?"
Miyako pasued, looking at the cookies. People were beginning to stare at her as she stood still, until suddenly she threw the cookies into the nearest waste bin. Bells rang and a warm welcome was heard as she entered the bakery in front of which she stopped.
Several minutes and a cat passed by before she came out again, a navy blue paper bag in her hangs. Another minute and a glance at the trash bin later and she was gone, cookies with her.
–
"Mi-Ya-Kun!"
Daisuke cheered as he met her at the school's entrance next to the girl's shoe locker.
"Ah, Dai-chan… Morning…"
She said plainly, sighing as she extracted a love letter along with her school shoes.
"Woah, who's it from?!"
"Does it matter? It's a guy."
"Aw, so that explains why you never mentioned my love letter last year."
No reaction came his way, be it because she took it as the joke he hoped she'd take it for, or if she just wasn't in the mood. Shoes switched, she held the cookie bag firmly and headed to her girlfriend's locker, but…
"Ah, Hikari's already here. Came by a few minutes before you did."
She stopped, obviously disappointed. She had hoped to place the cookies in the girl's locker, but now she risked a front encounter while still not sure if the other girl's mad at her or not.
"I feel kind of bad…"
Daisuke said as they made their way to class.
"Why?"
"Well, here you are, your relationship with Hikari like it is, while I had an amazing date!"
It took him exactly three steps to realize she stopped three steps behind him.
"Mi, Miya-kun?"
"I'm really happy for you!"
He couldn't help but stare. He knew not what he hated more, the fact she managed to push her own sadness away for his sake, or that he found no trace of fakeness in both smiles, the one on her lips, and the one in her eyes.
"Are you… really ok?"
"I will be…"
He smile saddened, and he offered her a supportive one.
They shortly arrived at the classroom, to find Hikari and Takeru talking to each other, Iori reading quietly in his seat. Both, however, fell silence upon noticing the entering duo.
"Let's guess what they were talking about…"
Daisuke said bitterly, yet quickly smiled as he patted Miyako on the back.
"Go for it, I'm right behind you."
She nodded and gulped, yet to her surprise she wasn't alone for a second.
"Miyako-chan…"
Hikari said as she stood in front of her, eyes cast down towards the floor.
"Hi, Hikari-chan…"
"I'm sorry!!!"
The shorter girl suddenly cried out, pulling the other into a hug.
"It was so stupid of me to start that fight over… oh, I can't even remember what it was about! I forgive anything you said, please, PLEASE forgive me too!"
A slight blush crept to Miyako's face as people stared at the two. Her only support points were Daisuke's grin, and Iori's soft smile, only partially hidden behind his book.
"I… can't remember what the fight was about either."
Came her apology, the words "I'm sorry" for some reason refused by her lips.
"I'm so happy!"
Hikari cheered and people around them smiled and lost interest. Even so, Hikari kept on the act for a moment more.
"You're my bestest friend ever, you know, and I love you more than anyone else!"
She concluded with a peck on Miyako's nose, her own way of kissing the other girl in public. Not on the mouth as to no arise suspicion, and at the same time different, saved for Miyako alone.
"Here."
Miyako said once Hikari let go of her, and presented the navy blue bag.
"Cookies?"
"Your favorite chocolate chips."
"You bought them for me?"
"Because I can't cook well enough for you yet."
Maybe it was the fact that they were being watched after, or maybe Hikari was actually pleased, Miyako knew not, but the girl hugged her again and whispered a soft "I love you" before grabbing the cookies and heading to her seat at the sound of the bell.
"Yeah… me too…"
But not eve Miyako herself heard her say so.
"I'm glad for ya!"
Daisuke announced, grinning the girl back to her smiling self.
"Thanks."
"Ok, take your seats."
The teacher said and all students so did. Miyako, however, other than her notebook and pencils, extracted yet another item. She bit her lip before turning to Daisuke.
"Psst."
Daisuke blinked and glanced at her, following her motion to her lap. There rested a pink sack with bunny prints, neatly tied with a red ribbon.
The same cookie sack Mimi gave her, for Hikari.
"Tell me about your date later? There's a cookie in it for ya."
"Right on."
And, feeling relieved, Miyako turned her attention to the blackboard, and for the first time in a few days, managed to concentrate properly.
–To be Continued–
A/N: short chappie, mainly to show you people just –why- Miyako's crowned as Daisuke's co-star in this ficcie :P (yes, I COULD have written about Ken, couldn't I? but it would've given me nothing whatsoever in the greater scheme of things… and I like Miyako way better and it's my fic so NYA! :P) I know many are used to having the main couple deemed as the "main charas" here on FFN, but as Daiken's hardly mentioned most of the time, Miyako's more fit for the other main chara, even without this chappie (take this and the soccer chappie out, and still you'd have had Takeru, Iori and Hikari as better options than Ken. :P even Taichi, come to think of it. .)
