"Reliability and Miracles"

This is a Jyousuke dedicated to Frost and Warm. This may also be the shortest story I have ever written. I hope it's good enough, though. I hope you guys like it. Please enjoy and review and happy holidays everybody.

Daisuke Motomiya was working on homework that she was having trouble with, groaning in frustration as she tried to work on the anatomy and biology.

She threw her pencil down and thumped her head down on the desk.

"I can't do this. It's too hard." She whined.

Joe Kido chuckled as he walked over to the girl and rubbed the back of her neck to ease the tension she was feeling.

"Calm down Daisuke, it's not that hard." He said as she lifted her head up to look at him.

"This coming from you, the guy who's been studying to become a doctor for years." She said as he sat down next to her, pulling her into his side as she rested her head on his shoulder with a pout.

"Come on, I'll help you out." He said grabbing the text book.

She sat back up with a pitiful whine, but listened as Joe walked her through it all, determined to at least lean half of it so that she could take a break for the day.

After a few hours, she knew it by heart and got up with Joe, pulling him with her to the bed.

He lied down and Daisuke soon snuggled up to his chest, breathing in his comforting scent as she rested.

Joe chuckled as he ran his fingers through her hair.

They had gotten together a few weeks ago when she had first come to him nearly in hysterics for help on her science test.

Ken was in America for a student exchange program, Izzy was visiting colleges, Willis was in Colorado, Yolei was too busy with her student council duties and Joe was her least hope, so she ran off to his apartment as soon as the thought of the child of Reliability crossed her mind.

He led her into the living room and talked her down from her near hysteria and agreed to help her, to which she thanked him with a hug that nearly toppled them to the floor and said 'thank you' a dozen times.

He helped her out by making science seem fun, which she at first scoffed at, but when they really went into it, she was more willing to dive into her work.

It also helped with her math when he used sports as an example of a problem and she started jumping in her spot cheering when she solved it.

Joe had chuckled at her when he saw how cute she was, causing her to stop and blush when she realized how she was acting.

Daisuke had then threatened him to never mention her girly moment to anyone or else he would regret it and he nodded, saying he understood while he bit back a smirk.

They had both come to enjoy their time together and stared spending more time just hanging out as friends.

The child of Miracles had come to terms with her feelings and decided to just come out and confess instead of waiting and losing him to someone else.

While they were out with all of the other Digidestinds, she had pulled him aside saying she had something important to tell him and he followed when he saw the urgency in her tone and determination in her eyes.

"So what's wrong, Daisuke? What did you need to talk to me about?" Joe asked the 17 year old girl.

"Well…I was just wondering…" she trailed off with her cheeks flushed.

He quirked a dark brow as he began to worry about her.

Daisuke took in a deep breath and looked at him, gathering up her courage.

"Joe, I really like, more than a friend, so I wanted to know if you liked me too." She said her cheeks darkening.

Joe's cheeks took on a shade of pink as well when she told him this and smiled at it.

She started worrying when he didn't say anything, but then was startled when he placed his hands on her shoulders and swooped down to her and kissed her forehead.

The others were all watching this, Kari and TK grabbing onto the arms of their brothers to hold them back from going off to kill the boy for 'planting one' on their successor.

Tai and Matt had become very protective over the girl over the years, viewing her as a sister.

Daisuke's face was nearly the same shade of her hair from the show of affection.

Joe pulled back and smiled at her.

"I like you too. I'm just surprised you felt the same way for me. I assumed you liked Ken or Willis." He said.

"Why does everyone think that?" she asked tilting her head to the side.

Many people had made that same assumption and she had often wondered why.

She never showed any signs of having feeling other than those of friendship or often akin to sibling for the children of Kindness and Faith, so why did people think it?

"You just seem close to them." Joe said with a shrug.

"So are we to assume that you two are going to be dating now?" Izzy asked as he and the others walked over, Tai and Matt clenching their fists to not brutally attack their friend.

Daisuke and Joe looked over at the group and to answer their question, they held hands, both still blushing.

Yolei shrieked at how sweet they were making the boys and Daisuke cringe back from the noise.

"You two are so cute together." She gushed.

"Joe, we need to talk about something important." Matt said with a fake smile, his eyes cold as ice.

"Come on, buddy." Tai said with a fake smile of his own with fire in his eyes as he wrapped an arm around the oldest member of their team.

Joe chuckled nervously at the killing intent he felt from the two males.

"I-I don't know guys. Daisuke and I just got together. Maybe she'd like it if we spent some time together first." He said.

"I don't mind. We can go out later. Go ahead guys." Daisuke said cheerfully making him mentally whimper in displeasure and blanched at the fact that he was going to have to face the two males.

Matt and Tai smirked at each other as they pulled Joe away to have a nice little…talk with him about the circumstances of dating the mahogany haired girl.

As the three boys walked away, Kari and TK flanked the female leader as they all watched.

"You do realise that Joe's gonna get the third degree, right?" the child of Hope asked crossing his arms.

"Really? What for? Wait, what third degree? What about the first and second?" Daisuke asked making him and Izzy sigh while Kari and Sora chuckled, Cody and Ken shaking their heads at that.

"It's just a figure of speech." The youngest of their group said.

"He meant that our brothers are going to be telling Joe the rules on dating out and to not screw up or else they'll kill him." Kari explained.

"There are rules to date me?" Daisuke asked surprised and confused.

Ken smiled and placed a hand on her shoulder making her look at him.

"Just forget it. Let's go get something to eat." He said.

"We can try that new café that opened up." Sora said.

The others all agreed as they started walking away, leaving the three boys alone to talk.

Once the group had gone, the children of Courage and Friendship lost the fake smiles and were full out glaring daggers at Joe, mentally killing him.

"OK Joe, you're our friend, but that doesn't mean you can get out of this conversation." Tai said as he squeezed his friend's shoulder making him cry out in slight pain and shock.

"Look, it's simple really. You hurt Daisuke in any way or form, mentally or physically and we'll make the Dark Masters seem like your sweetest dream." Matt said.

"Understand?" Tai asked.

Joe numbly nodded fear paralyzing him mostly.

That had been a very difficult time having the two boys watching him like a hawk, searching for any reason to bring the hammer down on him for mistreating Daisuke.

When said girl found out what was going on, she stalked over to her two prodessers and beat them both over their heads with a stick for threatening her boyfriend and forced them to apologize.

Everyone had a good laugh at that.

TK had even borrowed Kari's camera that she always had with her and he had filmed it and streamed it on his Facebook page for others to see and they all enjoyed seeing the two most badass members of the Digidestinds getting beat up by a girl that was smaller than them and three years younger.

Joe looked down at his girlfriend as she rested on his chest, enjoying their time together.

They never did anything extreme and never got bored of just spending peaceful moments like this alone.

She looked up at him, her chocolate eyes peering into his onyx eyes.

"What cha thinking about?" she asked.

"Nothing important, don't worry." He said.

She hummed at that as she leaned up and placed her lips on his and he returned the kiss.

They weren't the most likely couple to have ever formed, but they were still one of the sweetest and they could care less what others thought of them.

The end.
