Chapter 53
Void
Ken would rather stay inside his house than going out without his friends. Often, he wrote some message to his friends at Odaiba, asking them to come over. He knew, that they had their own business there, and was not surprised to see the answer often could be seen as 'I'm busy, sorry' or 'Next time, Ken'.
However, there was some problem. The blue-haired boy was never ever felt comfortable when Daisuke was not around.
He really did think that for some times, he needed times without the goggle-boy, which often blabbering anythings in his mind with no cares if no one was listening to him.
Being together with Miyako was an example.
When he asked Miyako to go to cinema together, Daisuke sneered, saying that they were now officially a couple. Takeru had no idea, but he laughed too. Those made both of them embarrassed, and decided to invite them to go together.
Reminded about him made Ken chuckle.
Even so, his time with Miyako without Daisuke was rather an awkward one.
It was true that without him, everything went smooth, calm, and almost as an endless tranquility.
However…
He was always remembered with his past.
Who was the one that believed him first?
Who was the one that helped him most?
Daisuke.
That goggle-boy was strangely believed in him, even of what his attitude that caused havoc inside the Digital World.
Ken was even sure that Daisuke had bad-mouthed him as the Kaiser, however, when every of his move to atone his sins was made, Daisuke was not surprised. It seemed like he had known that Ken would do that. Even he thought that Daisuke knew that he wasn't that kind of horrible person.
An overconfident one, huh?
Ken chuckled again, but now with a grin across his face.
Daisuke's existence could not be compared with anything. Well, it was too much of what he thought about Daisuke's presence in his life, but Ken wasn't going to change that.
He needed Daisuke, more than anyone.
He had friends. Miyako, Takeru, Hikari, and all of the seniors.
But, who made them become his friends?
Daisuke.
Just as he thought it, he felt something uneasy inside him.
Daisuke had given lot of things to him, but had he done the same to him? Had he returned the favor?
He frowned.
Again, he felt like he was imagining if Daisuke wasn't exist in this world.
He was nothing.
No one would know him, other than his parents.
He smiled, and nodded his head slowly about one of Takeru's remark.
"Without Daisuke, we are nothing,"
"Without Daisuke, I'm nothing. Without him, there will be a void, that can't be replaced with anyone… except him," Ken said to himself, before picking his stuff and left his room.
Of course to visit his friend… that had made him become so confused of all things he had gone through with him.
