"This Miraculous Love"
OK this one is Daira, which is Daisuke/Davis and Sora. There aren't many stories on this couple and I found one and read it before and it was just really cute, so I decided to give it a try. I'm also working on a Daikari, but having trouble with moving along with it. Please enjoy and review.
There are many words to described Davis Motomiya and various people have all used them either behind his back or to his face, even if they were insulting ones.
Obnoxious, rude, a jerk, kind, optimistic, playful, slacker, annoying, insane, brave, and friendly, a Tai Kamiya doppelganger and the list could go on.
But to Sora Takanouchi, she found that there was only one word that she could use to describe Davis perfectly; adorable.
Now the child of Love didn't know when it had happened or how it even happened, but she had grown feelings for the young child of Miracles.
He was just so cute and he was one surprise after another that it made her watch him in interest, waiting to see what he would do next and how he would handle leading the younger generation.
She had always seen him as a sweet kid ever since that time they first met about four years ago, after the Dark Masters were defeated.
Sora was walking down the street, frustration rolling off of her in waves and the reason for that was Taichi Kamiya.
He could just be so stupid at times and she often wondered why she put up with him.
She blind in her silent rage as she walked on that she didn't see a mahogany blur dart out in front of her before she almost tripped over them.
"Whoa!" she gasped as she gripped onto the shoulders of the child that had just appeared in front of her.
"Yikes!" the kid yelped.
When the crisis of falling was averted, the two turned to look at each other, lively chocolate met beautiful crimson.
Sora looked down at the familiar boy that she had run into, memorizing his wild mahogany hair that was shorter and more tamed than Tai's brown hair, his caramel colored skin, round face and bambi eyes that were looking up at her.
He was dressed in a blue t-shirt that had a yellow D on it, orange shoes and brown shorts.
Sora then soon remembered where she had seen him before; he was the kid who had asked to join the soccer team and would often come to watch Tai.
"Davis, what are you doing here?" she asked the boy.
"Huh? How do you-? Oh yeah, you're that girl Tai's around half the time. Sara, right?" he asked pointing at her with a smile.
"It's Sora, actually." She corrected and couldn't help but smile in amusement at him.
Most people would be upset if someone had gotten their name wrong, but with a sweet, innocent smile like the one Davis was wearing, it made it hard to stay made at him.
And besides, he was only a child who didn't know her very well; it wasn't his fault that he had gotten her name wrong.
"Oh, right, Sora. Heh! Sorry." Davis chuckled with a blush that made him look illegally cuter.
The child of Love would dare say that this little soccer fanatic was cuter than TK.
"It's fine, Davis, really. So why are you out here all alone? Where are your parents?" she asked looking around for anyone that possibly resembled the boy, but saw no one.
"Mom and Dad are at work and Jun is at her home with her friends. They're talkin' about boys and all that other girly junk." Davis said sticking his tongue out in distaste.
"Jun is your sister, I take it. Was she supposed to be babysitting you?" Sora asked wondering why his sister wasn't with him.
"Yeah, but I said I wanted to watch TV, but she said I couldn't 'cause she an' her friends were takin' over the living room. I kept telling her to let me watch TV, but she said that she would give me a makeover if I didn't leave them alone. I didn't believe her, so she then ran to her room, got all that make-up stuff and had her friends hold me down so they could put lip junk on my lips and eye stuff on my eyes, but I bit one girl and then ran out the door. Next thing I know, I'm here with you." Davis said.
He had moved his hands around as he explained his tale of woe to the older girl and his face would also either scrunch up or his eyes would get all big as he got to one part of the story.
"That sounds like one big adventure you had. But did you ever think to maybe ask politely for Jun to let you watch TV?" Sora asked as they moved to sit on a bench.
"I TRIED! But she said to just go to my room to play video games, but they weren't workin'. Besides, she's been in there with her dumb friends forever! I just don't get why girls are so obsessed with stupid boys they think are cute or clothes or make-up or any of that other stuff." Davis huffed pouting with his lower lip sticking out.
"Some girls like that stuff to make them look better and feel better about themselves." Sora explained to the little boy.
He then looked at her with a curious sparkle in his eyes.
"Are you like that, Sora?" he asked.
That was when Sora had remembered why she was in a foul mood before and was stunned to see that Davis had miraculously made her forget all about it until he had asked that question.
"No, I'm not." She said forcing the resentment she felt for Tai return slightly.
"Do you get mad at people who think you're like that?" Davis asked surprising her yet again.
"Well…yes, I do. I'm not really a girly girl. I'm more of a tomboy, so yes; I don't like people commenting on the way I look like if I'm not as pretty as the other girls." Sora said.
"Who said ya weren't pretty?" Davis asked.
"No one, really. It's just…" Sora trailed off wondering if she should tell Davis what his hero, Tai, had done to make her mad at him.
"What? If no one said it, then how do ya know that's what they meant?" Davis asked with a clueless look.
"A few days ago it was my birthday-"Sora began, but was cut off.
"Oh! Was it a fun day? I bet cha it was. How can it not be? All of your friends, presents, cake, ice cream, presents, games…presents. It must have been a fun time, right?" he asked enthusiastically.
"Yes, it was fun. Tai was there, too-"
"I bet he got ya a great gift. Was it a hat? You seem to really like hats. You also look nice in them. I wonder what you'd look without them, though. I've never seen you without a hat on. Why do you always wear a hat? Don't you like your hair?" Davis asked.
"Well, yes, I do like my hair and my hat. What happened was, Tai got me these bejewelled hair clips for my hair and we got in a fight about it. I asked him if he thought there was something wrong with my hair and he said that he wouldn't know because I'm always wearing my stupid hat. He just doesn't get it." she huffed.
"I don't even get it." Davis said as he scratched his chin.
"He basically insulted me!" Sora nearly yelled in her frustration, making the boy jump.
"I'm sure he didn't mean it. Tai does stupid stuff. I do stupid stuff. Everybody does stupid stuff. That's just how it is. I say things I don't mean and feel bad after I said it. Tai must be feelin' very bad right now." Davis said thoughtfully as he looked up at the clouds that were taking on different shapes as the gentle wind blew them.
Sora just stared at Davis as she took in what he had said and began to wonder if she had maybe overreacted.
She sighed and looked up at the clouds, leaning forward to rest her elbows on her lap and then rested her face in the palms of her hands.
"Davis, can you be honest with me?" she asked making the boy look at her.
"Sure." He chirped.
"Do you think it was stupid of me to get all mad like that with Tai over something so…small?" she asked.
"Maybe. If I were you, I bet I would-a done the same thing. I freak out a lot over this stuff and say tones of things that get me into trouble." Davis said as he crossed his legs on the bench.
The child of Love nodded to his words as she looked at him, then decided for herself that maybe she should talk to Tai.
"Hey, Sora, can I ask ya something without ya getting mad?" Davis asked.
Sora looked into the boy's chocolate eyes and had to smile at how cute he was.
"What is it?" she asked.
"Can I see you without your hat on…please?" he asked jutting out his bottom lip as his eyes got extra wide and were glistening with unshed tears for effect.
Sora laughed at that and pat him on the head, rustling up his head that felt warm under her fingers.
"Sure." She said.
She then took a deep breath as she lifted her hands up and then hesitantly pulled the hat off of her head, revealing her orange hair that shined like fire in the sunlight.
Sora felt exposed and nervous as she looked down at the boy without her hat on, wondering what he thought and why she even cared what he thought.
She saw him purse his lips and tilt his head to the side curiously as he made a thinking noise.
"You still look like you, just without a hat. I don't get why you freaked out before. You look great with the hat or no hat." He finally said as he sat back on the bench.
Sora blinked at that and shook her head, feeling quite silly for how she was acting.
She didn't know why, but Davis made her feel better about herself.
She heard some music playing and looked over to see an ice cream cart was coming by and saw that Davis was staring at it in interest.
"Why don't we go get some ice cream?" she asked the boy.
The chocolate eyed boy looked up at her with a smile and nodded enthusiastically, practically bursting with energy.
"Really? Thank you!" he said jumping up, taking her hand and pulled her over to the cart where some of the other kids in the park were running to.
Davis and Sora hadn't gotten any other time to spend with each other because of soccer, tennis and saving the Digital World and that really got the child of Love down.
At first when she had learned of his crush on Kari, she thought it was cute, but now it just annoyed her how the child of Light seemed to be so unappreciative of the child of Miracles' fondness of her and took it for granted.
The least she could do was not tease him so much by pretending to be interested in TK and pin the two boys against each other.
Sora understood that Kari wasn't trying to make the two boys hate each other, but that still didn't excuse her immature behaviour, she expected more than that from her.
Sora was really dreading this day.
Why you may ask.
Because it was Valentine's Day and she was sure that Davis would be devoting his time to getting Kari's attention the entire time.
"Sora!" someone called making the girl look up from the lunch she was staring down at.
Right now it was a school day and lunch time.
Sora was sitting at a table alone waiting for Izzy, Tai and Matt to arrive, but she was very surprised to see that it was Davis who had called out her name and was running over to her with that same smile he always wore.
He had matured in his features over time, filling out in the right places and was now a handsome young man.
Sora smiled at him as he slid into the seat in front of her, his cheeks a bit flushed from running.
"Hey, Davis." She greeted.
"Hey, I've been looking all over for you." He said making her tilt her head in curiosity.
"You were looking for me? Why, is something wrong?" she asked.
"Well, uh…" he trailed off as he scratched the back of his neck.
"I was wondering if I should tell this girl I know that I like her, but wasn't sure if I should do it today. It seems a little too cheesy, but I'm not really sure what to do to tell her." Davis said.
Sora felt a bit depressed that Davis was trying so hard to be thoughtful for Kari even though she had made it clear many times that she didn't have any feelings for him.
"I think you should just do something simple. But Kari already knows that you-"
"It's not Kari." He said.
Sora gave the child of Miracles a stunned look, not sure if she had heard him correctly.
Has he just said that he wasn't trying to get Kari, the love of his life?
Davis noticed the look on her face and chuckled.
"Yeah, I decided to give up on her. I mean, I'll always love Kari, but just not like that. I like someone else now. Actually, I think I've liked her for a while, but didn't think I ever had a chance with her." He said.
"If this girl is smart, I'm sure she'll appreciate having someone like you around to love her." Sora said wishing this new lucky girl would cherish Davis like he deserved.
Davis gave her a warm smile and soon enough the rest of their friends all arrived to join them.
"Hey you two, what's going on?" Tai asked as he and Matt sat on either side of their successor.
"Yeah, you two looked like you were having an important discussion." The blonde said.
"Don't worry about it." Davis shrugged with a smile.
"Hey, did you guys send a rose yet?" Yolei asked.
For Valentine's Day, the student council was going to be going around delivering roses to the students for received them from their sweet hearts, crushes or their friends.
"It seems kind of lame though." TK said.
"Does that mean I'm not getting one?" Kari asked batting her eyelashes playfully at him.
"Unless Davis has something to say about it." Tai said nudging the younger boy.
"Actually, I sent a rose to all the girls I know." Davis said.
"Really? Why though? I was so sure that only Kari would be getting a rose from you." Yolei said arching a brow in confusion.
"Actually, Davis has someone new in mind." Ken spoke up.
"What? No way!" the lavender haired girl gasped.
"That explains a lot." Matt muttered as he ate.
"So who's the lucky girl?" Kari asked Davis.
"I'm not telling." He said with a smug smile as Yolei groaned in annoyance since she wanted to know.
"Wait, Ken, do you know?" the child of Light asked the plum haired boy.
"Yes, but I've been sworn to secrecy until further notice." The child of Kindness replied.
The rest of lunch went on with everyone talking about random things and soon enough it was last period, the time where all the members of student council would got to each class to hand out a rose to the students who received them.
Sora admittedly sent one to Davis, but she didn't sign her name, unsure of how he would take it.
She was in her literature class when there was a knock at the door and there stood Yolei, Ken and Izzy, who were in the counsel, the boys holding roses in their hands.
"Delivery of love." The lavender haired girl gushed as she went around handing out roses to the girls.
"Here you are, Sora." Ken said as he handed her a rose that had a card on it.
"Thanks, ken." She said as she accepted the rose.
She read the note on it and saw that the rose was from Davis.
The note read;
"Happy Valentine's Day-Love Daisuke Motomiya."
Sora wondered if Yolei and Kari had received the same note.
"Here, Sora. You have another one." Yolei said with a smile as she held another rose.
The child of Love accepted the rose from her successor and opened the note in curiosity, not expecting another one.
She opened the note and saw that there was more writing in it.
"Dear Sora, I've admired you for a long time now and would really love it if you would meet me in the park after school. I'll meet you there. Here's a clue to figuring out who I am; we've saved the world together. Until then. P.S. you look exceptionally pretty today.-Love from your admirer."
Sora had to admit she was very curious as to who this person was.
She decided to go ahead and meet them and set them straight, not wanting to lead them on.
School let out an hour later and the orange haired girl walked to the park, wondering who this person was, silently hoping that it wasn't Tai or Matt, because that wouldn't end very well.
She had tried dating them once before, but it didn't turn out good.
She soon entered the park, the scent of the cool February air tickling her nose as she walked over to a bench and sat down on it, waiting for her mystery man that was a Digidestined.
There were other people there too, but they were couples who were walking together hand in hand, laughing and smiling at each other lovingly and she was jealous of them all.
It was ironic that the girl who held the Crest of Love didn't have a loved one that meant more to her than her friends and mother.
She sat there, listening to the sounds of the other people and some children who had soon arrived to play in the snow and share chocolates that they had gotten that day.
The crimson eyed girl's view was suddenly obscured by two warm hands covering her eyes.
"Guess who?" a playful voice said with a laugh.
"Davis?" she asked making the hands leave her face so that the girl could look over her shoulder to see the boy there.
"Hey." He greeted.
"Why are you here? I thought you'd be off trying to get the attention of the girl you like." Sora questioned as he sat down beside her with that same smile on his face.
"That's the thing." He said making her confused as he pulled out a red rose.
"I am with her." He said with a blush on his caramel cheeks looking very sweet.
Sora gasped as she too blushed, the color looking very pretty on her.
"What? You mean…the girl you were telling me about…is actually me?" she asked.
"Of course it is. You're an amazing person Sora. Everyone knows that and you're very special to me." He said.
"How long have you liked me?" she asked.
"For a while now. I was trying to deny it though because it didn't feel right to have feelings for the girl Tai and Matt used to be in love with, but that's when I decided…I'm not going to pass up the chance to be with someone as kind, pretty and smart just because of them. So what do you say? I mean, I totally understand if you don't like me that way, but-"
Davis then found himself being the one who was cut off by the child of Love as she leaned over and shyly pressed her soft lips against his own.
He froze, but soon melted into the kiss, enjoying the warmth that he felt spread between them as they gently moved their lips together.
The child of Miracles moved his hands, one resting on her shoulder as the other tangled into her silky orange locks that glowed like a radiant flame in the sunlight.
Sora had her hands pressed against Davis' chest as she relished in the wonderful feeling of being this close to the young boy she had admired who grew up into a handsome young man that had stolen his heart and whom she trusted to hold and care for it dearly.
In a minute or so, oxygen became an issue so they parted their lips, but stayed in each other's arms, moving closer to the other person, the child of Love resting her head on the mahogany haired boy's chest as she sat on his lap and the child of Miracles in turn had his arms wrapped around the orange haired beauty.
"Happy Valentine's Day, Sora." He said as he kissed her head.
"Happy Valentine's Day, Davis." She said with a content smile on her lips.
The end.
My first ever Daira. Hope it was OK. Please review and no flames.
