Chapter 4: More Confusion
Ken raised his hand to knock on the Motomiya apartment door, when the door swung open on its own accord. Eyes wide, he looked up into the brown eyes of the oldest Motomiya child, Jun. She was about to step out of the apartment, when she raised her eyes, meeting his.
"You look like crap." Jun stated, bluntly, raising an eyebrow at the boy. If Ken was in a better mood, he might have been tempted to laugh at that statement, in which the older girl sounded so much like her younger brother, but instead he sighed, lowing his hand back to his side, adjusting the bag that he carried.
"Is Daisuke in?" he asked, his voice soft and horse.
Jun pointed into the apartment, gesturing towards her brother's room. "He's been moping in his room for the past couple of days." She answered, "Unless he's escaped out the window without me noticing in the past fifteen minutes."
"Ah." Ken answered, making his way into the apartment, "Your parents aren't home?"
Jun chuckled softly, "Since when are our parents *ever* home?" She lightly punched him in the shoulder, "Don't worry, Ken, no one will hear you."
Ken's face turned red. "I... I didn't mean..."
Jun winked at him, "I know you didn't... I was just teasing you." Suddenly her face turned serious, "Ken... what ever you do, please don't hurt him."
"What?"
She smiled softly, "He really loves you." She gently placed a hand on his shoulder, "Just trust him okay?"
Wordlessly, Ken nodded and Jun smiled, waving at him as she left the apartment, closing the door behind her. He shook his head and gently sat down the bag, opening the flap and allowing Minomon out.
Moving down the hall towards the door that he knew from pervious visits was the door to Daisuke's bedroom; he gently knocked on the door. Receiving no answer, he knocked again; only to hear Daisuke's voice yell out, "Go away!" Biting his lip, he wondered if he should just enter, but Minomon was having no problem with that decision, worming his way into the room through the crack of the door. Ken made a grab for the green Digimon but missed. Sighing, he ran a hand through his chin-length hair, knowing now that any meeting with Daisuke was inevitable.
****
Daisuke had rolled over bed, ignoring the first couple of knocks, thinking that it was his sister, Jun. She had been trying to get him to stop moping around and out of the room, but her attempt had come up rather short-handed, and Daisuke had remained where he was. After the second set of knocks, he figured that his sister hadn't gotten the message and told her, rather vocally, to leave him alone. When there was no other noise, he had figured that Jun had given up and had gone out with her bishounen crazy friends.
The last thing he expected was to hear Chibimon's delighted shout of "Minomon!" as the Digimon leaped off of the bed and in the general vicinity of the door.
'Yeah that's great... Chibi needs someone to play with and Minomon's...' Suddenly, Daisuke's eyes slammed open and he sat up in shock. "*Minomon?*" He leaped off the bed, and grabbed the doorknob, forcibly throwing opening the door of his room, staring at the wide-eyed boy in front of him.
Ken met Daisuke's eyes and glanced away, feeling guilty. He opened his mouth to apologize, when Daisuke grabbed him and hugged him tightly. He blinked, surprised at the other boy's reaction, but his hands came up, and he hugged Daisuke back.
They stood like that for quite awhile, before Daisuke pulled out of the embrace, staring down at the ground. "I thought that you hated me or something."
Ken grabbed Daisuke's shoulder tightly, causing the other boy to look up. "Oh, Daisuke, why would you think that?" Daisuke didn't answer, and Ken sighed, "Daisuke, listen to me." He waited till he had the boy's attention, "What happened in the park had nothing to do with you. It was... well, I don't really know what it was, but it was nothing that you did."
Daisuke stared at him in disbelief. "Are you sure?"
Ken sighed. Daisuke, always acting like the brave, happy-go-lucky guy of the group, was, at heart, a very young, passionate boy. He took everything to heart, especially everyone else's problems, and no one else had done the same for him. This had left behind a fragile insecure boy who believed every insult thrown at him, and trying to hide the hurt with false bravado and arrogance. It was a mask that Ken had seen on the boy when they had first met as enemies, and one that the other Chosen were now just discovering. "Yes, I'm sure."
Daisuke's smile could have lit the Digital World and Ken smiled in return. The goggle boy threw himself once again into Ken's arms, and Ken couldn't help but feel happy... but a sense of wrongness lingered on the edge of his consciousness. But he ignored it for now; instead he paid attention to the boy currently in his arms.
****
Someone once said that the best part of an argument was when you made up. Daisuke now believed that to be true as he lay next to his boyfriend on his bed. The little two Digimon had scampered off, probably foraging in the kitchen for food to feed their bottomless appetites, which they always seemed to have. Daisuke sighed as he curled into Ken's side, content with the warmth the other was providing.
Ken gently ran his long, slender fingers through the short, burgundy spikes of Daisuke's hair. The goggles had long since been discarded, instead of their customary place on Daisuke's head, they now rested in a special case that Daisuke had managed to con Ken into buying for him as an anniversary present. Ken smiled as Daisuke made that little noise of contentment in the back of his throat.
Daisuke purred as Ken ran his fingers through his hair. Grinning mischievously, he began to run little circles over Ken's stomach. He heard the other boy's breath hitch, and start again a little bit faster than before. Although they had been together since the defeat of Oikawa and the others in the Digital World all those years ago, they hade never gone beyond anything more than kissing and hugging. Although Daisuke didn't plan on having sex right now, he was planning on having a little fun with his boyfriend.
Moving slowly, he gently managed to get his hand under Ken's shirt, gently rubbing the smooth skin underneath. Ken squirmed a little, and his breathing sped up just a tad, but otherwise there was no reaction. Smirking, Daisuke sped up his caresses causing Ken to groan.
"Dai..."
"What?" The complete and utter picture of innocence was Daisuke. He even managed to wipe the 'cat that got the canary' grin off of his face. But Ken wasn't fooled. Out of everybody, Ken probably knew Daisuke the best, and knew how fast the other boy could pull the innocent, 'I couldn't harm a fly' face. He wasn't fooled.
Ken tried to keep his voice steady, and for the most part he succeeded, expect for the little waiver that entered his voice at the end of his question, "What are you doing?"
With a miraculous effort, Daisuke managed to keep the grin off his face. Instead he replied, "What are you talking about?"
A hand reached under the shirt and grabbed Daisuke's hand, stopping its movement. With a simple, deadpanned voice, Ken said, "This."
Daisuke pulled his hand out from under Ken's shirt, and stared at it. "Damn... that's where it went." He flashed Ken a grin. "And I wondered too."
Ken just sighed at his boyfriend's antics. Daisuke, still with the grin on his face, pushed himself up till he was resting on his elbows, staring at Ken critically. Reaching out with a hand, he gently ran it through Ken's indigo hair.
"You are so beautiful." He stated, sounding to be somewhat in awe.
"I knew, ever since your brother's funeral, that you would grow up to be a beautiful boy..."
Daisuke felt the other boy stiffen underneath him, and glanced up at Ken's face. The other boy's eyes were far away, and Daisuke lightly tapped him. Ken eyes suddenly focused on Daisuke's.
"What?"
"You were a million miles away..." Daisuke titled his head, watching Ken. "What were thinking about?"
Ken just smiled at him, albeit somewhat uneasily. "Nothing."
Daisuke just stared at him, but didn't say anything. Instead, he just went back to his caresses from before, his hand sneaking back underneath Ken's shirt. Daisuke watched as Ken simply relaxed into the mattress, as if he was disconnected from the world around him. Struck by a thought, he figured out a way to get the other's attention. His hand left Ken's stomach, heading for the waistband of his pants. He was about to dip his hand underneath the waistband, when he heard a whimper and Ken mumbling. Glancing back up at Ken's face, he was shocked to see Ken's eyes shut tight, tears leaking out through the corners.
He felt the hand move underneath the waistband, and he screamed. It was cut off by a hard slap to the face. He glanced up at the smiling face of his captor, too afraid to do anything but whimper in fear.
On hand moved towards its destination, while the other gently wiped the tears from his face. "It's okay. You'll see, Ken, everything will be all right." And Oikawa smiled, and Ken felt his whole world end in a haze of pain.
He was also able to make out the boy's disjointed mumblings. "Please... no.. God... no..."
Daisuke removed his hand and went to touch Ken's shoulder, hoping to get a reaction, but as he moved his hand towards Ken, the boy let out a strangled scream and curled up into a fetal position. Unsure of what was happening, Daisuke sat back on his hunches, staring down at the boy in front of him.
The two Digimon ran into the room, glancing from Daisuke to Ken and back again.
"We heard a scream!" Chibimon exclaimed.
Minomon shot right up onto the bed, trying to nuzzle and comfort his partner without much success. "Ken? Ken!" the little Digimon turned tear-filled black eyes on his human partner's boyfriend. "Daisuke, what happened?"
"I don't know!" the boy cried, frustration lining his voice. "One second he was fine and the next..." his voice trailed off in confusion. What *had* happened? Daisuke stared down at the fragile looking boy curled up on his bed, and then to the two helpless looking Digimon staring back at him.
What was going on?
TBC...
The next part is probably going to be the hardest to write, so please excuse me if it takes me a little while.... Man, what have I gotten myself into... ^_^
All disclaimers, warnings, etc from the first part still apply. Ken and Daisuke angst ahead!
