Nobody Puts Baby In The Corner

Chapter 2: The Answer

Takeru woke up. His eyes took awhile to adjust to the sunlight that flooded his room. He blinked several times, and then got up. He had finally fallen asleep, and now it was morning. He had an answer, and a need to tell Daisuke just what he thought.

He went to the bathroom and took a shower. Afterwards, he got something to eat. He didn't find anything of interest in the refrigerator. He thought about his answer, what if it was the wrong answer? What if it was the right? He wasn't sure of his answer, and he got confused again. His thinking completely distracted his thoughts of food. He didn't even feel hungry anymore.

Takeru now knew he had to tell Daisuke his answer. He put on his shoes and walked out the door. The sooner he got there, the better. He walked down the sidewalk, still pondering if the answer was still the right one. He still didn't know and thinking about it made it worse. The walk took what seemed like forever, but he knew it wasn't that long. He walked up to the door of the Motomiya's house and rang the doorbell. He waited. No answer. He rang it again. He waited. No answer. He figured maybe Daisuke had went somewhere. He did know that Daisuke probably wasn't going to here his answer anytime soon.

Takeru, hopeless, left the presence of the front door. He was walking down the street when he heard someone yelling his name. It was quite faint, but he knew he heard it. He turned around and saw a rather small person.

"Takeru!" they shouted. Takeru didn't quite know who it was until they they came closer. Then, he recognized the face, Daisuke. Takeru smiled as Daisuke came running up to him. He was panting from the running, so Takeru waited until he caught his breath.

Daisuke finally caught his breath and then asked, "Did you come up with an answer?"

"Yeah, I have," Takeru answered. He still felt unsure of the answer.

"What is your answer?" Daisuke asked impatiently. He had an eager grin on his face, anticipating the answer.

"No, I can't Daisuke, I'm sorry," Takeru finally said after a short silence. Daisuke lost his smile. Takeru could hear the sound of all of Daisuke's hopes breaking in his mind. He felt bad, was it the right answer?

"It's okay," Daisuke finally said. He turned around and began walking away from Daisuke. "It won't be hard finding someone better than me."

Takeru felt himself grow sad, as if he had just let go of something with potential. He didn't know what the feeling truly was, but he felt it. He watched Daisuke walk away, slowly with his head down, staring at the sidewalk under his feet. Takeru felt like his heart was about to fall into a thousand small It felt heavy, and he didn't like the feeling one bit.

As Daisuke disappeared from Takeru's sight, he finally walked away. He walked all the way back to the apartment.

Takeru walked into his bedroom, after arriving home, and threw himself on the bed. He curled up and cried. He let loose everything he was feeling. He had every reason to cry, not a single reason to stop. Had he messed up on one of the biggest things he could ever had wished for? But, the question that tuck out the most; did he like Daisuke like that?

He laid on his bed, still crying when the phone rang. He didn't bother to pick it up, he still had to think. The phone kept ringing until it went over to the answer machine. Takeru didn't care this time.

Takeru then heard a familiar voice trying to talk to him. He then jumped out of bed and ran to the phone. He quickly picked it up.

"Hello," he quick;y said into the phone.

"Oh, hey," Daisuke said.

"Sorry, I was lying down," Takeru explained.

"No, I'm the one who should be sorry," Daisuke said. "I shouldn't have been so stupid."

"Don't say that!" Takeru scolded.

"Sorry," Daisuke said.

"I wanted to tell you that..." Takeru lost the words. Not so much lost, he just didn't want to tell him what he had been thinking about while he was crying.

"What?" Daisuke asked. He sounded half alive.

"Daisuke-kun, I think I've reconsidered my answer," Takeru stated. He felt himself grow numb and dizzy. He felt like he was going to pass out, but he knew this is what he wanted to do in the first place, but was too confused with himself to know any better than what he gave as his first answer.

"What do you mean?" Daisuke asked.

"I want to go out with you," Takeru stated. Takeru felt like he had just been released from a prison in his mind.

Takeru heard Daisuke gasp then he started talking at a million miles per hour. "You mean, you do like me? That I finally had a dream come true? Takeru-kun!"

Takeru smiled at Daisuke's hyper reaction. He knew, now, that he had said the right thing. Daisuke was still talking, but he was now thinking about the fact he had a boyfriend!

"Takeru?" Daisuke asked.

"Huh?" Takeru said as a response from his daze.

"When do you want to go on our first, you know, date?" Daisuke asked.

"Oh, how about tonight? Around six?" Takeru suggested.

"Tonight?" Daisuke asked for reassurance.

"Sure." he replied. He felt himself get happier as the conversation progressed.

"I'll come over later, and we'll decide then," Daisuke explained.

"Okay," Takeru replied.

"I'll see you tonight," Daisuke said, closing off the conversation.

"Okay," Takeru agreed.

"Bye," Daisuke said, bidding farewell.

"Bye," Takeru returned.

Takeru hung up the phone and then smiled. He had a date with a guy. He had about six hours until the date, so he had time to call up Hikari and tell her.

He dialed Hikari's number into the phone and put it to his ear. The phone rang about three times when some picked up.

"Hello?" Taichi's voice said through the phone.

"Hey, Taichi, " Takeru chimed.

"Do you want to talk to Hikari?" Taichi asked.

"Yeah," Takeru replied.

"Hold on," Taichi said. He sat down the phone, leaving Takeru in the practical silence.

"Hello?" Hikari said after about a minute of the practical silence.

"Hey," Takeru said into the phone. He was happy, and he knew Hikari had to know.

"What made you so happy?" Hikari asked.

"I got a date tonight!" Takeru exclaimed.

"With who?" she asked.

"Um..." Takeru paused. How was Hikari going to react to him telling her it was Daisuke?

"With who?" Hikari repeated.

"Daisuke," Takeru mumbled. He knew she didn't hear him.

"Who?" she asked.

"Daisuke," Takeru mumbled again.

"Takeru, this isn't funny, who is it?" she asked again.

"Daisuke!" Takeru yelled.

Hikari grew silent. He knew that she had to register this. Then, when she talked, she asked, "Daisuke, as in, the only Daisuke we know?"

"Yeah," Takeru stated. He looked out his window, and then knew that Hikari probably wasn't liking this.

"I... um... don't know what to say," Hikari stated. She sounded really uncomfortable. Takeru knew this was a bad idea. He closed his eyes and wished she would be understanding. He opened eyes, and found the girl on the other line still silent.

"Hikari?" Takeru said, making sure she was still there.

"Yeah?" she replied. She was still there, and with that, it was another awkward silence. Takeru searched for something to say, but couldn't find anything. This was odd for him, he usually always had something to say, no matter the situation.

"You don't like it, do you?" Takeru finally asked.

"Takeru, you are dating a guy, not just any guy, Daisuke Motomiya!" Hikari stated.

"I don't see what the big deal is, he is nice," Takeru said.

"He's such a showoff and he's annoying, and, and, and..." Hikari grew silent again. Takeru knew she was mad, or was she jealous?

"Give him a chance, Hikari," Takeru said.

"I have given him several chance," Hikari replied.

"Don't be so stubborn, he's not that bad of a guy," Takeru stated. He was becoming aggravated by his friend's narrow minded opinions.

"Takeru, he's everything you're not," Hikari explained.

"Opposites attract, what can I say?" Takeru said. He tried to put in a little joke, but was half serious with it at the same time.

"Takeru, I have to go, I'll see you later," Hikari said. She didn't give Takeru a chance to reply before she had already hung up the phone.

Takeru put the phone down and sighed. Hikari could be stubborn sometimes, especially recently. What was wrong with Daisuke and he dating anyways? Not like she was part of the relationship. Then, Takeru knew, she had to be jealous. She was probably jealous because she had a crush on one of them and now they're dating. Takeru sat on his couch and thought this through. He had a long time to wait before his date, so he watched TV.

"Are you ready?" Daisuke asked. He stood in Takeru's doorway. He was dressed casual, but still looked nice. He could actually dress nice, which surprised Takeru.

"I'm ready," Takeru replied. He walked out with Daisuke.

"I think you're going to like the place where we are going," Daisuke stated.

"Where is it?" Takeru asked eagerly.

Daisuke shook his head and said, "It's a surprise."

Takeru wasn't much for surprises, he hated waiting to know something, and this was no different. He wondered where Daisuke could possibly be taking him. They walked together, but they weren't doing anything special, like holding hands or anything. It wasn't like Takeru expected. Though, the date was only beginning to start.

The first stop, was in the park, as they watched the sun set. It was wonderful! The orange sky with the orange sun. The park was pretty empty, and it was quiet. Takeru felt something touch his hand, and he looked down and saw Daisuke's hand on his. It comforted him a bit, and he instantly began to warm up. Takeru scooted a bit closer and then rested his head on Daisuke's shoulder. He felt like he was in heaven. He felt, for once, fully complete. They sat there until the sun was officially down and then, they got up and left the park.

They walked under the street lights, and felt the wind from passing cars. This night was almost perfect. They walked to an unknown destination to Takeru, but he didn't care, because now he had a boyfriend, someone he could not only talk to, but also someone to love him.

Daisuke and Takeru walked to a little café. Takeru was surprised by the place. It was a cute little place, with tables outside on the sidewalk that had little candles on them to light them up. The best part was when they walked inside. The inside was a very comfortable place. The lighting was dim, but bright enough to see everything clearly. There were pictures all behind the counter along with a hanging menu, and booths lined the walls and tables were placed in the center with four little wooden chairs that surrounded each table. Takeru loved the place. He never even knew that the place even existed.

They walked to the counter and the person behind the counter turned around and saw them. The person behind the counter was a girl, she looked to be in her early twenties with straight black hair, and brown eyes. She smiled at them and then said, "May I help you?"

"What do you want?" Daisuke asked.

"What are you getting?" Taker asked.

"Let's get a pizza!" Daisuke suggested. He gave Takeru an adorable grin that Takeru couldn't resist.

"Okay," Takeru said in agreeing.

The two order a pizza and drinks and sat at a booth. There were three other teenagers in the café, they sat in a group on the other side of the room. The place really did look nice, and it left Takeru to wonder how Daisuke learned about the place.

"So, Takeru," Daisuke began, "What made you change your mind?"

"I had a sudden realization that I did like you, and I followed my heart, after answering with my head," Takeru explained. They both laughed but then realized nothing was really funny about it.

"This is good pizza," Daisuke commented. He took up his fourth slice and took a bite out of it. He smiled as he chewed his food. Takeru smiled back as he, too, took a bite out of his piece of pizza, though it was only his second piece.

After they left the café, they headed back to Takeru's place, figuring the date was almost over, and the time. They walked under the street lights, hand in hand. They chatted about everything and anything that came up. It was weird for Takeru, he never thought he'd be able to talk to Daisuke like he had that night.

When they finally made to Takeru's house, they found Takeru's mom on the computer, typing another report. Takeru smiled as he passed her office and went to his room. They sat on his bed and were still talking.

"Tonight was great," Daisuke stated as he fell back on Takeru's bed.

"Yeah, it was," Takeru agreed. He fell back as well.

They sat in silence, until Daisuke turned on his side to face Takeru. He smiled as he ran his fingers through Takeru's hair. Takeru closed his eyes and felt himself go off into a world unlike any other. He had time to think about what had happened that night. Daisuke turned out to be a pretty nice guy. He made Takeru laugh, they got to talk, and they just bonded so well.

Takeru finally opened his eyes, to see Daisuke still running his fingers through his hair. It was a dreamy feeling that he hadn't experienced since he was a kid. He finally turned to his side and looked at Daisuke,who stopped playing wit Taker's hair when Takeru turned over to face him.

"Daisuke," Takeru began, "I have had the wrong impression of you wrong all this time."

Daisuke smiled more. Takeru smiled more as well. Takeru closed his eyes, and he felt a little tired after his long day. He laid there, next o Daisuke and he couldn't have been happier. He was a bit surprised when he felt Daisuke's lips press against his own, but didn't let Daisuke know it. Daisuke moved to where he was on top of Takeru, while they made out. Takeru felt the passion between them and it felt like everything he could ever imagine.

Takeru fell asleep that night, with Daisuke beside him. He didn't have a care in the world at that point. He didn't realize it yet, but he still had to tell the rest of the Digidestined about them, or did he?
