So the last bit of drama in this story. The next chapter will be the epilogue! Because we need some happiness in this story as well. Too much drama! Anyway, enjoy the last bit of the drama :)
...
So a week had passed since Ken had broken it off with TK and for the blonde everything seemed to be going quite alright. He immediately had called Tai and they had talked things through. Apparently Tai had been scared to come out not just to the world, but also to TK's brother. Not so strange since Matt was pretty protective, but he didn't really mind it at all. It was just misplaced fear, because according to Matt there wasn't anyone he would trust more into making his little brother as happy as he should be. Quite sweet and of course Ken was happy to hear that when TK called him, but that didn't fix anything for Ken himself.
In the meantime he had been alone for a week already and hadn't heard a thing from Davis. He had texted the brunette, called him, sent him emails. But no reply to any of them. His sister even said that Davis was just busy and would get to him when he had the time. It was such bullshit. Davis always had time before and suddenly he was busy? But there was nothing he could do anymore…
Except be miserable at home and eat as much ice cream as possible. But that wasn't the person Ken was. He didn't like to just sit at home and be dumped the horrible way Davis was planning on. They would have a talk about this and Ken would stand up for himself. It was about time. He hadn't really been doing this for a while, because he valued Davis' friendship too much. But now it would already be ruined, so what did it matter anyway?
He hadn't told anyone where he was going, even left Wormmon in the dark as he put on his coat and slammed the door shut behind him. It would be a long way and it reminded him of his trip to TK, but this time he felt different. He was angry and he would give Davis a piece of his mind. How dare he treat his so called best friend like this? Everything he had gone through because of that damn bastard.
But the closer he got, the more his nerves started setting in. Was this really a smart move and could he really say all those things to Davis? He just had to, because he couldn't keep on living like this. Opening his mouth would be the only solution. But as he stood in front of Davis' front door, he couldn't raise his hand yet again. It was just like last week, but this time he didn't bump his head against the door. He just stood there as if waiting on the door to open all by itself. His feet were nailed to the ground, making him unable to move. Or at least it felt that way.
No, he needed to do this. A shaking fist was raised and a shock ran through his body when it came in contact with the hard wood of the door. This was the moment of truth. He would face Davis in mere seconds, because he was sure the boy was inside. It was pouring outside, so no soccer or whatever and then the brunette would be moping inside over having nothing to do, except play videogames, which he did quite often. Or eat, he also did that a lot, more than he should.
Slowly the door opened, showing off a very lazy looking Davis, seeming to be wearing his pyjamas of some sort, and scratching his ass while he was at it. Right until he noticed who exactly was standing on his porch, getting more soaked due to the rain with every second that passed. Ken had been too focused on talking to Davis that he had forgotten to bring an umbrella, so his clothes already were clinging to his body and he couldn't stop shivering, even though he tried fighting it off as much as possible. Couldn't be showing any weakness now.
It stayed silent for far too long, Ken waiting on some kind of recognition or maybe to be let in or something, but Davis was just standing there, staring at him with eyes wide. So Ken just wrapped his arms around himself to keep a little warm, shaking his wet hair out of his face. And then it was time to talk. The cold of the rain had cooled down his anger a little as well and he also felt a little awkward now that Davis wasn't even saying anything.
'Why haven't you been answering my texts, calls or emails?' he hissed out, his gaze shifted to the side. He didn't want to look at Davis, it already hurting too much. But he needed to go through this. He would get dumped in person and it would happen now. It was the least amount of respect he deserved here.
When his blue eyes turned back to Davis and wait for an answer, he noticed the posture of the brunette had changed. He was lounging against the doorframe, the look in his face quite indifferent. 'I don't know,' Davis shrugged off, rubbing the back of his head lazily. The brown eyes just kept staring into Ken's, making sure the raven knew exactly how much Davis really cared. Was this really how the brunette felt? He really didn't care about Ken's feelings in this situation? And they actually had sex?!
Ken was at a loss of words. How was he supposed to even respond to that? A little lost his eyes swept over the ground, as if he could find the answer there. 'You really don't care, do you?' he breathed out. His body had stopped shivering. Ken didn't even feel the cold rain anymore as it soaked his clothes through and through, drops slowly running down his face and then dropping down to the ground below. His hair stuck to his face, making his pale skin almost disappear.
'I don't know what you mean?' What? Davis didn't even know what he was talking about? Such bullshit. Of course the asshole knew what he was talking about! This really was it. Ken had hoped to have a serious conversation about this, but that wasn't going to happen. Davis would just keep answering with empty answers, meaning nothing and not giving Ken the closure he needed.
Silently tears started streaming down his face, mixing in with the rain, going completely unnoticed. And then he really had enough. Anger started bubbling up again. His eyebrows furrowed together, blue eyes snapping up and boring deep into brown ones. He growled loudly before grabbing Davis' shirt with his left hand while he raised the right hand as he formed a fist. 'You really don't care about me, huh? You really don't give a shit about how I feel!' And with that he let his fist collide with Davis' face, making the brunette fall backwards slightly, but Ken kept him up with his left hand, raising his fist again to do the very same thing. 'You are just a son of a bitch that doesn't give a fuck about how others feel. But when someone makes him feel like shit everything is allowed.' When he was about to slam his fist into Davis' cheek again, the brunette caught his wrist and kept him still.
Davis' looked different now. Something like sadness present in his face as he kept on staring at the raven in front of him, taking in the complete form of his former best friend. Davis knew Ken was crying, not because of the tears, but because his eyes had turned red and the way his lip quivered from time to time. He knew he was to blame for this, but he had reasons for doing so.
But Ken kept on ranting, needing to say everything he had wanted to for a very long time now. He didn't even notice Davis holding his hand or that he had his other arm actually wrapped around his waist. 'You have no idea what you are really doing! You just break everything apart and then throw it all out. I had a really nice thing with TK and then you decided to meddle in. But for TK it all worked out fine, but I… I hate you, Davis!' At this point he was just crying, his screaming showing off just how desperate he was and how shitty he felt.
And when Davis wrapped both his arms around Ken's smaller frame and pulled him in a hug, Ken was done for. He just kept on crying, holding tightly unto Davis. The one who he was supposed to hate, but couldn't let go of. That damn brunette had gotten under his skin and would never be able to get away from there.
They stood there for a while, Ken's wet clothes slowly drenching Davis' clothes as well. But it wasn't until Ken had calmed down, the soft sobs had stopped leaving his lips and the shivering had ceased, that Davis started talking. 'I'm sorry,' he said softly and Ken's hands tightened on Davis' shirt, liking how the tone had changed in the brunette's voice. The indifference had left and made place for something with feeling. 'You know I do care about how you feel and I never meant to hurt you like this.'
Ken wasn't sure what to do with this. He hadn't meant it? Then why had he done it. Such bullshit again. There was no reason to ignore him if he did care about how Ken felt, except if he was too afraid to tell the raven he didn't feel the same way, which would be pretty sad. He did deserve to be broken up with the right way. They were best friends or were supposed to be at least.
A hand went through Ken's wet locks, moving it out of his face as Davis glanced down at the raven, meeting blue eyes. A sad expression was still lingering on his face and Ken could see he was thinking about saying something and Ken prayed he would just let it out. The lips parted and waiting a second longer, Davis started talking. 'I know I did it the wrong way,' he started. 'But when you left the other day, after we did… You know.' Yes, Ken did know and a slight blush spread on his cheeks. 'I couldn't help but think where this would leave us. I pushed you into breaking up with TK, who would be a far better boyfriend for you than I would, and then actually just step in as if it was the right thing to do. I felt like a complete jackass. This wasn't supposed to go this way. I shouldn't have seduced you the way I did. And frankly you just deserve better.'
You deserve better.
'I know,' Ken murmured softly, his body completely relaxing and wrapping his arms around Davis' neck. 'I am very aware of the fact that I deserve better.' Pain crossed Davis' face for a moment, having hoped on a different answer. 'But that doesn't mean I actually want someone else.' He laid his forehead against Davis' shoulder and sighed softly, finally understanding why this had all happened. One, because Davis was a chicken and didn't dare tell him this. And two, because he didn't feel good enough. 'And I want you, Davis, regardless on all the shit you put me through, because I know you can make me the happiest person in the world.'
Carefully Davis pushed Ken off a bit and stared deep into those blue orbs, suddenly leaning down and kissing him right on the lips. Surprised Ken sucked in a deep breath, but then slowly melted into the kiss until Davis broke it.
'I'm sorry,' the brunette murmured.
'I know,' Ken responded, getting another kiss.
'I'm sorry,' Davis repeated again.
'Shut up,' and the brunette did, the kiss becoming much longer after that.
