Pairings: Takuya/Kouji
Chapter 2
Kouji woke up early the next morning. He was a little surprised he awoke before Takuya since Takuya had taken a nap the day before. Then again, he realized it shouldn't be much of a surprise; the gogglehead can sleep anytime for as long as he wants. The blue-eyed teen looked over at his best friend asleep on the other bed and smiled, trying to keep himself from laughing. The brown-haired teen was sprawled out all over the bed, sheets thrown aside, and hair a mess. He was quite a sight.
After (barely) succeeding at supressing his laughter, Kouji stood up and stretched. He went to find some clothes to throw on and a band to put his hair up. He put on a plain white shirt, some blue and yellow track pants, and a pure blue bandanna. He trudged down the stairs, still partly asleep. He knew his dad was at work by now and when he got to the kitchen, he found a note from his stepmom saying she was going to be gone for the day running errands. Kouji sighed as he searched the kitchen for some food. He found some cereal and went over to fix a bowl at the table, before he could, however, his phone lit up. He heard a familiar voice calling out to him from it. "Kouji. Kouji Minamoto, wielder of the spirits of light." He looked at his phone and recognized the symbol immediately. "Seraphimon!" Kouji replied. "Good, you can hear me. I'm contacting the others as we speak, but I need your help- no, the entire Digital World needs your help. Will you offer us your aid, yet again?" Kouji paused for a moment, wondering if this was actually happening. But he already knew the answer he was going to give. "Of course, Seraphimon. I'd be glad to help." Kouji said, determined. "Ah. That is good to hear. There will be a Trailmon sent to the basement of Shibuya station at 2pm, just like your last trip here. I hope to see all of you soon." Before Kouji could say another word, Seraphimon's emblem disappeard from his phone.
As soon as Kouji was pouring some milk into his cereal, he heard Takuya bounding down the stairs. He entered the kitchen, looking rather excited. "So, you got Seraphimon's messages too?" Kouji nodded. "And you said yes?" Again, he nodded. "Awesome! It'll be just like old times again!" Takuya exclaimed with a grin. Kouji chuckled at his friend's enthusiasm. "I guess we'll have to meet up with the others later today...but for now, want some breakfast?" He gestured to the table with the cereal and milk. Takuya nodded and sat down as Kouji grabbed a bowl for him. They ate their breakfast in silence, both thinking about what could be happening in the Digital World to cause Seraphimon to call them all back.
When they finished breakfast, they decided to contact the others. Kouji called Kouichi and Junpei while Takuya called Izumi and Tomoki. They were glad to know that every one of them agreed to help out and decided to just meet at Shibuya station at 1:45. With that done, Takuya and Kouji knew they should start getting ready...considering it was almost 12 and they were still in their PJs. "I guess I'll go take a shower...unless you want to go first?" Kouji offered. Takuya just shook his head. "Nah, you go right ahead. It's your house." Kouji just nodded, "Alright. I'll try not to use up all the hot water on ya." Takuya laughed as Kouji left the room, clothes slung over his shoulder, leaving Takuya in Kouji's room.
Takuya walked over to his best friend's bed and fell, face-first, onto it. He took in a deep breath, just to enjoy Kouji's nice scent. He couldn't get enough of it...or anything else of his best friend's. He had realized his crush back when they were in Digital World the last time. Even after 7 years, he still couldn't bring himself to tell Kouji how he felt. He didn't want it to ruin everything. Sure, it could just make things better, but he didn't exactly want to risk an amazing friendship. Maybe this next trip to the Digital World will give him the courage he needs...he can only hope. Without planning to, he fell asleep on Kouji's bed.
Kouji finished with his shower in about 20mins. He walked back into his room and noticed Takuya asleep on his bed. He was a little curious as to why Takuya was on his bed instead of on the guest bed, where he slept. He just smiled and walked over to the bed, taking a seat on the edge. Kouji had to admit, his friend was pretty adorable when he was sleeping...and that's not a word he used to describe anything else. Something about Takuya brought out a different side of him. He knew it was because of his crush on him. He just watched his friend sleep for a few minutes, but then, he found himself having to resist the urge to kiss him...he knew this was the time to wake him. He didn't want that to happen...and Takuya to wake up and find out what was happening. He shook his friend awake and Takuya went off to take his shower. When he got out, they went downstairs, slipped on their shoes, Takuya grabbed his hat and goggles, and they headed towards Shibuya station to meet up with everyone else. A new adventure was about to begin...
