Ken
and Davis continued to get closer to one another. Ken was still
extremely nervous around Davis and shy when acting all lovey dovey
towards him, but more and more hugs took place as Ken began his new
life with the Motomiya's. They kept everything to themselves. They
didn't tell another living soul outside the Motomiya household about
their relationship.
Ken refused the very thought of it. He was
frightened that other people would take the news just like his father
had. To the dismay of Davis, Ken did nothing more but kiss and hug
him, occasionally cuddle, however, Ken didn't like the thought of
having sex just yet.
"We need to be older Davis"
insisted Ken. Davis would just nod his head and change the topic
quickly, wether by saying what color the sky was, on what color shirt
he was wearing.
The years slowly rolled by, each other enjoying
each other's company more and more. The digidestined soon forgave
Ken, and after the battle with MaloMyotismon, Ken was considered one
of them completely.
The two of them hid their relationship well,
acting normal around everyone esle, and acting lovey dovey alone. It
wouldn't be for another eight years into their relationship, where
things would begin to get
bumpy.
Eight Years Later
Ken yawned as
he woke up. He curled back under the covers on his bed and tried to
fall back asleep. Wormmon lay beside him, sound asleep.
"KEN!"
cried Davis into Ken's ear. Ken's eyes snapped wide open.
Falling
off the bed, Ken glared up at his boyfriend. "Davis!" he
growled.
"Sorry Ken!" he leaned down and gave Ken a
peck on the forehead. "But it's time to get up!"
Ken
slowly stood up to get changed. Taking off his shirt and walked over
to his drawer, and was suprised when sneaky cold hands ran over his
sides and onto his stomach, embracing him into a hug.
"Can't
we...?" Davis tralied off. Ken shook his head.
"No
Davis...you know how I feel about that..."
"It's not
like you can get pregnant!" cried Davis.
Ken blushed at the
very thought, pushing Davis away. He blushed a furious red. "DAVIS!"
Davis laughed as he made his love frustrated. He let go of the
indigo haired boy and went to get dressed himself.
"So are
we meeting the others later today?"asked Ken, poking his head
through his shirt and adjusting it just right over his chest.
"Yeah.
We are meeting at library?" replied Davis, getting dressed
himself on the other side of the room.
Ken nodded, yet a minute
later he furrowed his brow. "Wait a minute...Why the library? I
didn't even know you knewof such a place Davis!" teased Ken.
davis scowled at his roommate. "Ha ha, very funny! No, I
knew it was there, I just had no desire to ever go there that's all!"
Ken smiled, as it was now his turn to wrap his arms around his
love. "But, don't you realise that the library is the very first
place we...kissed?"
Davis was silent for several moments,
then he was smacking himself on the bed as Ken hung onto him,
laughing. "Duh! Of course! How could I have forgotten? Wow! So
that's where it all started..."
Ken let go of Davis and
walked to his bed. He no longer slept in a sleeping bag, for Mrs.
Motomiya had boughten him a small bed that they had somehow crammed
into Davis' room. It was a small space in the room now that the bed
was there, but neither of the boys seemed to care.
"Davis...do
you promise to always be there for me, no matter what?" asked
Ken quietly, looking out the window. Davis frowned.
"Ken, you
ask this all the time. Of course I'll be with you no matter
what."
"Really?"
"Really. Now come on,
let's grab something to eat so we can go meet the others, we wouldn't
wanna be late now would we?"
"You're
late!" scolded Cody, Upamon in his arms. The digidestined sat
out in front of the library waiting for Davis and Ken to arrive. When
they did, Cody wasn't happy. He never was one for tardiness. Everyone
was wearing bookbags, where they hid their digimon.
Davis panted
as he tried to run up to them. "Sorry! I had to fix my hair!"
The whole group of friends looked exactly like they did eight
years ago only taller and older. Their hair was the same, and they
wore similar clothes as before. Yolei still wore large glasses, and
Kari still carried a camera around her neck, much to the dismay of
Ken and Davis, for she had a nack for catching them off-guard, and
out of all the digidestined, they worried about her the most for
finding out about their relationship. She sometimes acted as though
she knew, but the two of them didn't want to take any chances by
asking her if she did or not.
"Davis! What is with you and
your hair! What are you amrried to it! It's all you think about!"
groaned Yolei at his excuse. Ken chuckled behind Davis as Davis
hissed back at her.
"Yeah, well I'm sure it takes you a good
six hours just to clean one lense of your glasses, they're so big!"
Yolei huffed in irritation yet didn't comment, only crossed her
arms and looked away from him.
"Let's not fight you guys,
let's just have fun today" spoke TK for the first time that day.
Kari agreed, grabbing TK's arm.
Ken frowned at the two as they
smiled at each other, then looked at Davis, who was letting
Demi-Veemon out of his bag. Davis had had a fot when he discovered
that TK and Kari were dating, even though they were two years into
their own relationship, and it pained Ken to see that Davis was that
upset about the two of them being together. At times ken had to
wonder wether ot not Davis still had feelings for Kari. He shuddered.
He hoped not, the last thing he wanted to happen was his love to be
taken away from him, and by a girl no doubt. Sighing, Ken dropped his
bag on the ground gently and let Wormmon hop out of his bag.
"There
already?" asked the large green bug. Ken nodded.
"Well,
we might just carry you...Unless you wish to go into my bag again?"
asked Ken sneakily. Wormmon shivered, shaking his head quickly. The
digimon hated being put inside their bags, but knew it was the only
way without being seen or caught.
"Say, forget the library,
why don't we go to the digital world today?" suggested TK,
kissing Kari on the head.
"That's sounds like a great idea!"
cried Yolei.
"But wait! Cody and I have some research to do
for school. We can't just ditch that" whined Kari.
"Okay,
then why don't we get your research then go to the digital world?"
offered Ken. Everyone looked at him. This always happened, for Ken
really didn't speak often, they forget he was even there at times.
TK nodded, liking the idea. "Okay, sounds like a plan! Let's
go!"
"Now wait a minute!" argued Davis. "I
refuse to go in there and look at books! They hurt my head!"
"Yeah
well maybe if you looked at books more often, they wouldn't hurt you
as much" mumbled Ken. Davis glared at him. It was moments like
this that fooled the others into thinking that there was nothing
going on.
"Very funny" sneered Davis, making Ken
chuckle.
With that said, the six friends made their way up to the
libray doors and inside.
It was large library, with a high
ceiling and elegant walls. Rows and rows of books filled several
rooms, not to mention an upper floor and downstairs.Kari and Cody
made their way towrads the Chemistry section, for that was where they
had to find research, while everyone else seated themselves at a
neraby table. But before ken could sit down, Davis cleared his
throat, making Ken look up at him. Davis moved his eyes toward a row
of books clear in the back of the room, where it was very secluded.
Ken nodded, and before Yolei or TK could notice that they were
leaving, they snuck away.
Once they were safely behind the rows
of books, Ken and Davis gazed at each other, smiling. Davis wrapped
his arms around Ken's tiny waist and held him close.
"You're
cute" whispered Davis, making Ken blush.
"Yeah, well so
are you..." Ken whispered back. Davis brushed a hand over Ken's
cheek, caressing it gently. Ken closed his eyes, enjoying the touch,
soaking it all in. Raising his arms to fold into Davis' chest, Ken
welcomed the light kisses he was now getting on the top of his head.
He curled himself closer to Davis' embrace without a care in the
world. He looked up as Davis looked down and they kissed.
Slowly
opening his eyes, after breaking the kiss and looking past Davis'
large shoulder, Ken gasped, his eyes wide. His initial instinct was
to back away from Davis and start denying everything, instead, he
only trembled, staring into Yolei's wide eyes.
"What the
hell--?" shrieked Yolei. Davis turned in surprise, covering Ken
from view without knowing it.
"Oh! Uh...Hi Yolei!"
Davis sweatdropped. He reached a hand behind his head and scratched
behind his head. "So, what brings you to the..." he
glanced around, trying to figure out what section they were in. he
glimpsed a sign that read "geography". "Geography
section eh?"
Yolei crossed her arms and scowled. "Don't
give me that Davis! I can see Ken trembling like an idiot behind
you!"
"I-I'm not an idiot!" stuttered Ken from
behind Davis, who shushed him.
"Where you
two-...kissing...?" spat Yolei, unable to get the words to
come out properly. Ken grabbed Davis by the shoulder, shaking his
head, while Davis looked up at Yolei confidently.
"Yes. We
were..."
Ken squeaked sadly, tightening his hold on Davis'
jacket. Davis frowned, he knew Ken hated the thought of the others
finding out, and he knew Ken was afraid that the others would take
the news similar to how his father did, or perhaps worse, somehow.
"Relax Ken" hissed Davis under his breath. He could
feel Ken shaking violently as they both waited for Yolei's reply.
"You...were...That's so...gross" muttered Yolei.
Davis was jerked backwards suddenly as Ken panicked, he then felt
Ken let go, only to turn back in time to see Ken running away in the
other direction.
'Off to hide in a closet no doubt' thought
Davis. 'That guy can be such a mouse sometimes...It's hard to think
that he was once the Kaiser. Definitely gets it from his mom.'
Davis
turned his attention back to Yolei, ready to chew her out for saying
it was gross.
"Yeah? Well what's so gross about it?"
demanded Davis, looking back in hopes to see ken coming back. There
was bo sign of him. he turned back to Yolei. "We were only doing
what people do when they love each other!"
"LOVE each
other!" cried Yolei. Davis nodded. "You mean you're
both...gay?"
Davis nodded without atwinge of regret. "Yeah,
I've liked Ken ever since I first met him at the soccer game!"
Realization hit Yolei like a lightning bolt. "That
strawberry incident...was that-?"
"Yep. I was trying
to get Ken to like me..."
"And the time you guys went
to the beach for that school project?"
"Oh, it was for
a project" snickered Davis. "Just not for school."
Yolei
made a sickening sound, making Davis scowl.
"You have a
dirty mind Yolei! We didn't do anything like that! It was just a day
to ourselves where we didn't have to worry about you guys discovering
us!"
"No! It's not just that! It's just that -
Davis...Ken and I used to go out..." whispered Yolei.
Davis
sighed, narrowing his eyes a bit. "I know Yolei..." he
sighed once more. "And it was very hard for him to break up with
you..."
Yolei's eyes widened as she realized something. She
glared at Davis. "Did he-?" Davis gulped nervously,
averting his eyes elsewhere other than Yolei. "Did he break up
with me...to be with you?"
"Listen Yolei. It's
compliacted okay. Ken's sorry, I know he is. But can't you just be
happy for him and me?" replied Davis, avoiding the question
entirely. Yolei scowled at Davis, yet said no more. She turned her
back to him and sulked off. Sweatdropping in relief, Davis headed
towards the opposite direction in search of his beloved Ken.
