Disclaimer: Do I really have to say this every time? Yes, I do, I don't own digimon.
I woke up nauseous and with a pounding headache. The room seemed way too bright and every noise seemed to send sharp pains to my head. I realized I wasn't in my bed in my room. I was on the floor of some apartment. There was a sofa behind me. I didn't recognize anything when I heard a voice I knew.
"So, you're finally awake. How do you feel?"
"Terrible." Who was speaking? I knew that voice, but I didn't know how. It seemed to be much too loud to me.
"I'm not surprised." A hand with pills in it was shoved in my face. "Take these; they might make you feel better."
I looked up to see Joe, also holding a glass of water. "What are they?"
"Aspirin. Also, drink this entire glass of water. There's a bowl next to you if you feel like throwing up."
I took the medicine and drank the water. Once the nausea calmed down for a moment, I moved to sit on the couch. Joe had left but came back with a medicine bottle and another drink. "Here is some antacid for the nausea and Gatorade to rehydrate you. Drink up."
I looked at Joe, confused. "Why are you doing this?"
"Yolei asked me to take care of you, since I want to be a doctor. Also, I'm dating her sister, and helping you out will hopefully earn me brownie points."
"How will helping me win you brownie points?" I was praying the aspirin will kick in soon.
"Well, doing a favor for my girlfriend's sister has to count for something. Oh, and I called your parents last night and told them you were here."
"Slow down, don't talk so fast," I asked. "What's wrong with me?"
"You're hung over, must be your first time drinking like that, do you remember anything from last night?"
I shook my head, which made it pound harder. My nausea got worse. I grabbed the bowl next to me and threw up. When it stopped, Joe looked at me, "You done for now?" I nodded. He grabbed the bowl. He came back a few minutes later with the bowl cleaned.
"When will this be over?"
"By tonight, at the latest. Don't worry, soon you'll remember what a fool you made of yourself last night."
"That doesn't help."
"By the way, Yolei's here. She's been waiting to see you for 3 hours now. Should I send her in?"
I grabbed the bowl and threw up again. "I'll take that as a no." He took the bowl away again.
I spent the next few hours like this. With time, memories of last night came back to me. I almost wished they hadn't. Joe watched me get better, being patient. He made cracks how I was helping practicing be a doctor. I told him that Gomamon was rubbing off him. At five o'clock, the doorbell rang. Luckily, I was feeling normal at this point. "I hope you're up to company." Joe told me. "Why don't you shower and change, I'm sure you'll feel as good as new afterwards. Borrow any clothes you want."
"Thank you, Joe," I said as went to the bathroom. I heard the door open. I heard voices, but couldn't make out the words over the sound of the water.
When I came out of the shower, I found the Digidestined in Joe's living room. Yolei ran over and hugged me, "Are you okay? I was so worried about you!"
Kari and Sora came closer, "We were all worried about you," Sora said.
Yolei dragged me to the couch and sat me in the middle and then sat next to me. She held my hands tight. I looked around the room and made a survey of who came. Sora sat next to me, with Tai next to her. Then came Matt, Cody and Davis. Davis couldn't meet my eye. His black eye was still looked bad. Joe stood behind them, next to him was Izzy and Mimi, next to TK and Kari. I went back to Mimi.
"Mimi, how did you get in Japan?"
"Izzy found a way to send me through the computer. He's been working on it for a while, I was his first guina pig. I'm so sorry, Ken, I never meant to hurt you. Please forgive me." She was holding hands with Izzy.
I smiled at her. "I'll only forgive you if you tell Izzy how you feel."
Mimi blushed and looked down, "I already did."
I smiled at her and turned my attention to Sora and Tai. Sora knew what was coming. "Are we all going to confess our feelings?"
"If I had to, then you guys do too." I felt a squeeze and looked down at my hands. I followed the joined hands to the face of the purple haired girl next to me. She smiled at me, but after loving her for 4 years, I could tell it wasn't a true smile. She was still worried about me.
"Ken's right, I should say my feelings," Tai interrupted my thoughts. "Sora, I like you, I really do. I know you like Matt, but could you give me a chance?"
Sora looked at Tai, and then Matt, "I don't know Tai, I'm sorry, but I don't like you that way."
"Sora, don't hold out hope for me, I don't feel the same way," Matt said, he could barely look in her eyes.
Sora began to cry and stood up. "I'm sorry Tai, but I don't know yet. I need time." She left the apartment.
Mimi stood up, along with Kari. Mimi went to follow Sora, Kari excused them both, "We should see if Sora's all right."
Cody got up next, along with TK and Davis. "I need to get back, I have kendo practice," Cody excused himself and bowed, "Thank you for having me. I'm glad you're okay, Ken."
"Thanks Cody, that means a lot to me."
"I should get going too," TK said.
"Me too," Davis agreed.
Slowly the Digidestined left. Each first excused themselves and then wished me well. Soon, all that were left were Joe and the violet headed goddess. Joe excused himself and said he needed to clean up the kitchen. He pointed to his room and said we could use it if we wanted privacy. Yolei grabbed my arm and dragged me to the room. The entire day had seemed surreal. As soon as we were in the room with the door close, I felt arms wrapped around me, "Oh, Ken, I was so worried about you. You scared me last night. Don't ever do that again."
I looked over to see tears running down her cheeks. "Yolei, I'm sorry." I gently wiped away a tear. She looked so sad. I had hurt her. I had hurt the person who mattered most to me. I wanted to tell her everything. There were too many things to say, to apologize for, to ask. I couldn't think what to say to the child of love and sincerity who cried into the clothes I wore.
"Ken, you have to promise me you won't do that again. You scared everyone. If you're ever upset like that, talk to someone, it doesn't have to be me. Don't go off drinking like that." She looked into my eyes. Her eyes still crying as her hand stroked my cheek. "I…" She cried harder and couldn't tell me what she wanted to say. Yolei's arms were wrapped around me tight. Her head lay against my chest. I stroked her hair. It smelled so good. She smelled so good. I didn't deserve to have my love in my arms, after I had hurt her so much.
"I'm so sorry I hurt you. I never meant to hurt you; I never meant to hurt anyone." I rubbed her back. I gently kissed her head. She looked up at me and pulled my head close. Her lips gently touched mine. I pulled away. "Yolei, you don't have to do this. You don't have to do anything."
"No, Ken, I want to."
"Don't tease me right n-"
I couldn't finish my sentence. My lips were too busy kissing the girls of my dreams.
