Chapter 5
"I think Izzy's asleep" Kari said
"I think so too, doesn't he look cute" Mimi said smiling slightly
"Mimi, what are your feelings for Izzy?" Kari asked
Mimi looked a deer caught in the headlights
"Mimi, are you alright?" TK asked worriedly
"I'm fine, but how did you two figure out how I feel about Izzy?" Mimi asked
"Tai and Sora" Kari answered
Mimi muttered a few choice words about the two schemers
"Well I've always liked Izzy, he isn't like any other boy I know or have gone out with. He's very considerate and can be extremely funny when he loosens up. I think I started to become attracted to him when I was panicking about college and everything and in swooped Izzy to the rescue. He helped me get everything done, he even helped me pack, which I know is a feat in itself."
TK and Kari nodded knowing from experience that Mimi doesn't pack light at all.
"Then he helped me get set up and stayed by me the whole time to make sure I was alright and if I needed anything he was there, even if it was late and he had a paper due the next day. When I was homesick he came over and comforted me until I was asleep. I never thought of Izzy to be very good with girls, but he somehow knows how to treat a girl right"
"Well Meems, I'd say you're ready to move in with Izzy" TK said
Mimi blushed at this
"We kinda live at each other's apartments, I have stuff over at his place and he has things over at mine" she said sheepishly
"So you're practically living together that's a step forward" Tai said
Mimi, TK, and Kari jumped
"Jesus Tai, don't do that" Kari said clutching her chest
"Sorry, but I couldn't resist" Tai said smiling
"Stupid Tai" Sora said smacking Tai on the side of the head
"So Meems, I'm glad you've chosen Izzy as a potential boyfriend, he's a guy I know will treat you right" Tai said
Sora nodded
"I like Izzy a lot Tai, but I don't think Izzy thinks of me that way" Mimi said frowning at the last part
"Izzy's very smart Mimi, but when it comes to the matter of the heart he's as clueless as every single male out there" Sora said
Two 'Hey!' were shouted out
Mimi smiled
"Mimi, I think we need to talk some sense into Izzy and I know who can do it" Sora said
"Who do you suggest Sora?" Mimi asked
When it came to advice on love Sora was great at it, since she is the bearer of the crest of love her friends would always come to her for love advice. She was great at doling out advice even if her love life had now become non-existent.
"Well TK and Tai" Sora said
"Why me?" TK asked
"Because you have experience of coming to terms with your feelings" Sora said as she shot a glance at the pretty brunette he was standing next to.
TK nodded
"Okay I see TK, but what about me?" Tai asked
"Because when it comes to giving someone motivation, you are the only one I can think of" Sora said
Tai nodded
"Good, wait til Izzy wakes up then you guys can give him a good talking to" Sora said
--
Izzy awoke to find Mimi no longer there and he frowned from his loss of the best pillow he's ever had.
"Hey Izzy, how'd you sleep?" TK asked
"Great, I feel better" Izzy said stretching
"Great, now let's get this over with" Tai said
"What are you talking about Tai? And where are Sora, Mimi, and Kari?" Izzy asked looking around
"They went out so we could talk" TK said
"Talk?" Izzy questioned
"Yeah, talk" Tai said
"What are we supposed to talk about?" Izzy asked confused
"Your feelings for Mimi" TK said
"M-my f-feelings for M-Mimi" Izzy said stuttered
"Yeah, Izzy we know that there's something there between you and Mimi, so spill" Tai said sitting back
Izzy gaped like a fish out of water
"Izzy, just admit that you like Mimi and get it over with it" TK said
"But I don't have feelings for Mimi" Izzy said firmly
"Izzy, will just be a man and accept that you have feelings for Mimi" Tai said looking furious at the computer genius
Izzy sighed
"What's the problem Izzy, we aren't going to judge you if you tell us you like Mimi" TK said comfortingly
"It's just that why would Mimi like me, I mean she's gorgeous and everything. I'm nothing, but a geek. A computer geek that will never be noticed" Izzy said sadly
"Izzy, you're not a geek, you're a great guy who can make Mimi very happy" Tai said
Izzy didn't look like he believed Tai
"Izzy, I'm going to tell you something that I haven't revealed to anyone, and you have to promise me that you won't say anything to anyone even Kari" Tai said and he looked at TK when he said the last part
TK and Izzy nodded
"I love Sora, still do, but never thought she'd like me that way. I still don't think she ever will. I kept my feelings in check and lost my chance when Matt and Sora started going out. I don't want that to happen to you too" Tai said
Izzy looked at Tai with awe as he knew along with everyone else in their group knew that Tai had feelings for Sora, but they just thought he got over it. TK shook his head knowing that this was hard for Tai to do. Tai wasn't the kind of guy to talk about his feelings and preferred to keep in what he was feeling as was he used to do as the leader of the Digidestined.
"Tai, I didn't know" Izzy said
"Yeah, well think about that. I had to watch the one who I love be with someone else, laugh with someone else, smiling at someone else, be with someone else. She was happy and that's all that mattered, but I always wondered 'what if' and still do, I don't want to see you go through what I did," Tai said
Izzy sat in silence pondering Tai's words. Did he have feelings for Mimi and if he did was he going to tell them to her. He thought back to all the times he spent with the exuberate girl and found he made excuses just to be with her. He enjoyed spending time with her and felt depressed when she wasn't around. That brought on the revelation. He was in love with Mimi Tachikawa. Now he had no idea how he made the leap from possible feelings to love, but it felt right.
"Izzy, have you figured something out?" TK asked hopefully
Izzy nodded
"So what are you going to do about it?" Tai asked
"I'm going to tell her, but I don't know how" Izzy said in a quiet tone
"Leave that to me" Tai said grinning
Izzy didn't like that smile on Tai's face, but couldn't do anything about it as Tai leapt from his seat to the kitchen. After a few minutes he came back still grinning.
"What did you do Tai?" TK asked with a sigh
"The girls are on their way back," Tai answered
--
Izzy was in a near panic state when the girls returned
"Hey guys we're back" Sora called out
"Hey Sora, how was your trip out?" Tai asked
"Great, but I think we wore Mimi out, she looks tired," Kari said
They turned to see Mimi yawning
"I think Izzy should walk Mimi back, just to make sure she gets there" TK said
Izzy cursed TK under his breath
"Come on Izzy, let's go" Mimi said as she yawned again
Izzy nodded and led the tired girl out making sure she didn't hit anything on the way out. Once the pair left Sora rounded Tai and TK.
"So, how did it go?" Sora asked
"I think Izzy will tell Mimi how we feels about her tonight" TK said grinning
"That's great" Kari said clapping her hands together
"Yeah it is, I just hope Mimi is awake to hear it" Sora said
"Yeah, she looked like she was ready for bed" Tai commented
--
Izzy got Mimi to her apartment without much trouble though they had to stop a few times so he could readjust Mimi's position on his shoulder.
"Here we are Meems" Izzy said as he laid the girl on the couch
"Mmmm, don't go yet Izzy" Mimi said as she grabbed Izzy's wrist
"Uh, sure" Izzy said hesitantly
"So what did you guys talk about while we were out?" Mimi asked though she knew what the topic was, but he didn't know she knew
"Well we talked about stuff," Izzy said hoping that would qualify as an answer
"Izzy, you're lying" Mimi said softly
Izzy stiffen slightly, cursing the ability Mimi had now to be able to tell that he was lying.
"What is it you talked about?" Mimi asked stretching a bit
"Well we talked about relationships," Izzy said trying to keep it general
"Was it ours?" Mimi asked, she knew that Izzy would never tell her so she had to cast the first stone
Izzy froze, how was he suppose to answer that?
"Izzy, was it our relationship you were talking about?" Mimi asked now more awake
Izzy nodded
"Well it wasn't bad, was it?" Mimi asked biting her lip
Izzy shook his head, "no, nothing bad"
"Then what is it?" Mimi asked now almost totally awake
"Tai and TK talk to me and tried to get me to understand my feelings for you, and well to frank I wasn't sure how I felt about you. I like you and care for you that I know, but I never knew how much" Izzy said
Mimi had her eyes closed, but was still listening she loved hearing him talk
"Tai told me something that got me think and I realized that I really, really care for you Mimi, and I found that I'd make excuses just so I could come and see you. You've somehow became a big part of my life without me even noticing it. I have never felt this close to anyone in my life and I like it. I guess, what I'm trying to say is that I love you Mimi Tachikawa"
Mimi's eyes shot open and she lunged at the computer genius taking him down. Their lips attached to one another neither caring at all. When they came up for air Izzy could see tears in Mimi's eyes.
"I'm sorry Mimi, I didn't mean to make you cry" Izzy said quickly
Mimi shook her head
"There's no need to be sorry Izzy, these are happy tears" Mimi said
This perplexed Izzy, happy tears, just what the heck are happy tears? I wish girls would be more easier to understand like a computer or physics that's easy to understand.
Mimi could tell Izzy's mind was working and decided it time for him to shut it down for tonight.
"Izzy, what say we go to bed?" Mimi suggested
You could literally hear the brakes squeal in Izzy's head when he heard Mimi's suggestion.
"Wh-what did you s-say" Izzy said sputtering
"Why don't we go to bed" Mimi said
"B-but Mimi I-I uh" Izzy said
Mimi smiled she loved seeing her computer genius so flustered it so adorable
"Come on Izzy" Mimi said dragging the poor boy to her bedroom
