When they landed and got their luggage, Henry's dad was waiting at the exit to pick them up.
"Hey Takato, guilmon. Follow me. Oh ,Takato, give your bag to me."
"Thanks Mister Wong. Isn't Henry with you?"
"He's preparing things with Terriermon at home. You're probably hungry, lets go."
"Do you have guilmon bread?" Guilmon asked
"Guilmon..." Takato said blushing
"No we haven't." Mister Wong laughed "But we have some other good food."
"Yummy!"
They got into the car and went off.
It took a while until they arrived but Takato didn't notice because he was lost in the beautifullness of the landscape. And when they arrived he was still so amazed that he didn't notice someone opned the door form him.
"Hey if you'd rather sleep in the car that's fine with me."
That voice, Takato turned around and saw:
"Henry" He said and got out of the car. He shook Henry's hand. "Glad to have you finnaly here Takato" Henry said looking Takato in the eyes. Takato felt a warm feeling inside and tryed not to blush.
"Thanks Henry, I'm glad to be here." He looked once more around him. "Man, its beautiful here."
He looked at the enourmous house, with behind it a beautiful garden. They were on top of a hill and the sight in the distant was amazing. Meanwhile guilmon was sniffing around. Followed by Terriermon
"Looks like guilmon is enjoying himself too." Henry said
"No he's probably looking for food.."
They looked at eachother then bursted out in laughter.
"Come inside, lets have a drink. Terriermon will take care of guilmon."
They went inside where henry poured some drinks. Then he said. "I've prepared somethings for you."
"Yeah your dad told me."
Henry looked suddenly a bit dissapointed "Did he?"
Takato saw the look on his face and said quickly: "He just said you were still preparing things, but he didn't said what it was."
Henry's face brightend up and he sighted from relief.
"Come, I'll show you. Leave your stuff here." He got behind Takato and laid his hands over Takato's eyes.
"Henry, what.."
"Just trust me."
"Kay." somehow it felt good to have Henry's hands covering his face...
So Henry lead him outside and there he let go of Takato. His eyes had to adjust to the bright light a little but when they did, Takato saw the most beautiful, biggest Treehouses he had ever seen.
Henry laid his arm around Takato's shoulders, which sent takato some pleasant shivers down his spine.
"Henry, I don't know what to say."
"Here's where we'll sleep for the nights to come. One is for our digimon and one is for us. If you don't mind ofcourse beeing separated from guilmon."
"I, err well, I don't but I don't know if guilmon would be that happy about it."
"Well let's ask them." Henry said pointing in at guilmon and Terriermon coming around the house.
"Hey boy, look there's where we'll sleep tonight, but we won't sleep in the same treehouse. But you'll be not alone, Terriermon will be with you."
"And me!" A litlle voice shouted.
"Calumon!" everyone said
"O may I to sleep over, please please please..." He asked Henry
"Sure!"
"Yay, play play play!" calumon shouted happy. And before anyone could say anything he went off playing with guilmon and Terriermon
"Wel, that settles that." Henry said standing at takato's side.
"Yeah.." Takato said softly.
"Now that we're alone, let me show you our space." Henry said softly. Takato felt a bit wierd and followed Henry up. When Henry was already up the little balcony he offerd his hand to help Takato up. When takato grabbed his hand, he felt again that warm tingeling feeling but stronger. Shocked by it, he suddenly let go of Henry's hand. By doing that he got out of balance and slipped away.
"Takato!!!" Henry yelled
Luckly Takato got hold of a branch and swung himselve onto the ladder again.
Henry sighted. He offerd his hand again but Takato got up on his own.
"What happned?" Henry asked
"Err, I slipped."
"Wel I'm glad nothing happened. Come on lets go inside."
So they did. Henry showed Takato around... This treehouse was just like a normal house. Just up in a tree. But it had electricity, a bathroom, just everything. The bedroom was practically empty, just a big matress on the floor with some sheets. The thought of that he may sleep close to Henry this night gave him yet again that warm feeling. Henry looked at his watch and said:
"Come Takato, lets head to the house, my grandma has made brunch."
"Brunch?"
"Yes that's your breakfast and dinner in one meal."
"Wow, wait till guilmon hears about this."
They got down where they were reuninted with their digimon. They enjoyed the brunch. And afther, Henry's dad helped getting takato's stuff to the treehouse. Where Takato freshed up a little because the would go the whole afternoon visiting a city nearby. There takato bought a postcard for his mom and calling her to say he had arrived safely. He and guilmon enjoyed theirselve and Henry was glad to be with Henry.
It was already evening when they headed back home. And after a good evening meal, they decided to call it a day. After all, it had been a long day for takato coming directly from a night flight. Before they went up the treehouse he afcourse said goodbye to guilmon and then asked Henry:
"You'll sure he won't ending up ruining the place?"
"Don't worry, Terriermon is there to keep an eye on them. Besides look at them, they're dead tired."
"Yeah momentai Takato."
"kay, goodnight guys."
They each went up to there own treehouse.
"So here we are then." Henry said as soon as he closed the door.
"Oh wait, let me show you something." And went over to a radiolike installation. Takato saw it was a transmitter. And Henry explaind it had connection with the other treehouse and the main house. He picked up the micro and called over to the other treehouse:
"T1 calling T2 over?"
"Yep Henry.." Terriermon answerd. "I'm giving you takato now."
"Hey Terriermon... you all settled there?" Takato waited and heard som stumbling at the other side.. Then he heard Terriermon on the background shout, "no Guilmon don't." And he heard guilmon say
"Takato, are you in that box takato??" so he quickly replied.
"No I'm not boy I'm in the other treehouse, so please do not destroy the transmitter."
"Oh okay." Takato sighted and looked at Henry.
"That was close, sorry Henry." But Henry smiled.
"No problem takato." Then he took over the micro and ended transmission.
Takato was still worried. "Shouldn't Terriermon and I switch places, I'm afraid that,..." He was interupted when Henry took his hands.
"Hey don't worry." He said softly "Terriermon can handle him. Besides they're tired to so relax kay?" Again he looked in Takatos eyes.
"K, kay" Takato said, looking away. Henry released his hands. "Come on, let's try the bubblebath. That'll ease you down.."
"Bubblebath?" takato asked with big eyes.
"Yep, just follow me."
They went into the bathroom and Henry began preparing it. Then started to take of his clothes, when he saw takato just stood there he said: "Well, you're not going to join in?"
"Together?" Takato asked
"Err yeah, why not? It's not the first time we bathed together isn't it?"
Takato felt stupid "Yeah, you're right.." He said a bit ashamed and also took of his clothes. The tub was rapidly filled and by the time takato got out of his clothes Henry jumped already in. Takato got in quickly after him. The warm water felt good. And he relaxed, but still thinking 'What the hell is wrong with me, Henry's right,... It's not the first time we took a bath together. And what the hell is it with that warm feeling I always get.' He closed his eyes and slipped with his head under water. Henry was watching him relax and smiled... He knew what takato went through and was happy about it. That partially confirmed what he tought takato was feeling... He had asumed as soon as when takato in the Hospital grabbed him and cried because he was so relieved that he was awake again....
Yet he knew that it would become a difficult time for takato and he would take care that in the end
it would turn out all alright. He himself had strong feelings for Takato already for a long time. He was devestated when he saw how takato sufferd when Juri was became zombie-like... He never knew if he ever would be able to confess his feelings. But the way things went now, if he did it the right way, it probably won't be long....
He saw Takato was dozing of, and to keep him from falling asleep in the tub he said: "come on, lets get out and go to sleep." Takato streched his arms. He also got out but a bit sleepy, as well being tired as from the heat from the tub, he slipped and fel down...
"You alright?"
"Yeah, just got out to quickly" Takato said blushing and rubbing his head.
"go on, I'll be there in a minute." Henry went on. Takato sat on the floor. He stood up, grabbed a towel putted it also around his waist and went to search his stuff and found it where Henry's dad had left it. He took his pyjama's putted them on and went to the bedroom.
"Heh, I thought you've decided to sleep in the tub." Henry said sticking out his tongue a little...
Takato didn't know what to say and just got in besides him. "Hey Takato, something wrong?" Henry asked when takato didn't answer. Takato sighted.
"No, well, it's just..." he sighted again.
"Just what, you can tell me..." Henry said softly...
"I'm still thinking about 3 months ago, I still can't understand you 'd just forgive me like that..."
"Oh, Takato... I've told you so many times... I knew you didn't mean what you said. And I knew and really felt you care about me, so I just knew you would come around." He looked at takato who lay down looking at the ceiling. Then takato sat up.
"Henry, with what I said, I hurt you, I saw it, I felt it... You, and Terriermon mostly Terriermon.." Takato looked at his hands... Thinking 'How could I've done that...'
Henry sighted "You know, you're right, we were hurt,... mostly because we were shocked.... After that, I understood your feelings,... and you know, Terriermon did to... And we know you, I know you Takato and we both knew that you didn't really meant those just don't know what a relief it was for Terriermon and me when you stood there at our front door..." "And you know,.." Henry said softly "I didn't want to lose you to."
"But Terriermon..."
"Takato, Terriermon was your friend and still is your friend... you won't lose us, you won't lose me, EVER" Now Takato looked Henry straight in the eyes, then tears began welling up...
"Henry, I..." Takato tried "Damnit"... And he broke out in tears... Henry took him in his arms, his head against his chest. Takato feld awkward but it comforted him. So he let it all out. Still sniffing with wet eyes he looked up, "Henry?"
"Yes" Henry let go of takato. Takato hesitated, not really sure of what to say. He had noticed changes in his feelings, and some changes in Henry's behavior, but he wasn't really sure. He wanted to talk about it with his friend, but he decided to wait. But yet, he hugged Henry whispering "Thanks" and tired of all the emotions he fell asleep against Henry's chest.
Henry a bit emotional, and somewhat surprised, smiled softly and slowly eased the sleeping boy down and tucked him in. He kissed takato on his head. And with a little remote control, he switched of the lights. Before he fell asleep he thought: 'He's really coming by' He closed his eyes and soon both boys where in a world of peacefull dreams....
