[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

I wish I knew: The truth

You should all rejoice in the fact I don't own Digimon! I mean, could you imagine the horrors I'd put them through?

No, you can't go insane yet! I still need you all to read this story and help my low self-esteem.
Izzy: You mean you still have self-esteem? I must not be doing my job then.
T.K.: [Is no longer talking to Taiorami]
Well, fuck you! Damn muses, can't ever just help me out! And people wonder why I'm so cranky. *Looks at floor* Hey, who's leaning up this paper? And yes, Daisuke's parents are total bastards and no, T.K will not hurt Daisuke. Where the hell did that come from? Honestly.



There was a long surprised silence and T.K. sighed. Today was really not going well. Suspension, finding out things he knew he should know, but didn't want to know, and now he had to explain why he was in bed with Daisuke with out telling exactly what was going on.

"Takeru, what's going on?" Ms. Takashi asked finally.

"Nothing." T.K. said trying to ignore the fact his mother had used his full name. "We weren't doing anything if that's what you're asking."

"Uh hu." Was the skeptical reply. "Matt made dinner so why don't you two come eat?"

T.K. nodded and his mother walked back towards the kitchen. Matt leaned against the door looking thoroughly amused at the turn of vents. T.K. scowled at him.

"What're you doing here?"

"Joe went out of town and I hate staying at the apartment alone, so I thought I'd spend the week with my favorite brother" Matt explained. "What about you Daisuke?"

"Uhhh..." Daisuke looked at T.K. who shrugged. "No reason."


"So you're not here to cuddle with my little brother?" Matt's eyes narrowed suspiciously, thus shifting into big brother mode.

"No." Daisuke squeaked, shrinking back against T.K.

"Don't scare my boyfriends." T.K. said, glaring at Matt. "We've talked about this."







A few hours later the four people were sitting in the living room, everyone looking uncomfortable.

"Are you mad?"

Ms. Takashi shook her head a little. "Just, next time you want to bring your boyfriend home, ask first."

"Is it okay if Daisuke stays a while?" T.K. asked looking at the redhead. Other then what he had said to Matt Daisuke hadn't spoken. T.K. guessed he was still a little shaken up by his dream and wasn't in the mood to talk to anybody.

"In your room?" Ms Takashi asked giving T.K. a look that said don't push it. She could adjust to her son having a boyfriend, she had done it once before, and she didn't mind said boyfriend being here, though finding the two boys in the same bed was a bit disturbing but the two of them sharing a room for a while was a bit much. That was beyond pushing it.

"Mom, we won't do anything and he really needs a place to stay. It's important!" T.K. said, now considering whining. He didn't want to use that tactic in front of Daisuke, but he was prepared to do so. It always worked and his mom was always really nice for at least three days afterwards.

"Why is it so important?" Matt said, asking the obvious question.

Dead silence. Daisuke whimpered softly and trained his gaze on the ground. He didn't want anyone else to know about this. He really didn't want T.K. to know about this either but it seemed a bit late to do anything about that. What was done was done.

"Trust me?" T.K. asked casting a worried look at Daisuke. "You know I wouldn't ask if it wasn't really important and this is *really* important. I just can't tell you why."

"But you want me to trust you?" Ms. Takashi said a stern look in her pale blue eyes.

"Yes." T.K. said, wondering if this had a snowball's chance in hell of working. He needed to keep Daisuke safe. It was partly his fault Daisuke had gotten hurt in the first place, he couldn't let him get hurt again.

"I expect you to follow my rules Daisuke." Ms. Takashi said looking at the redhead who nodded a little.
"And you have to help T.K. with cooking and cleaning. I want you two to keep everything between you two at a 'we weren't doing anything' level."

(Hey, she's ruining what I have planned for like the tenth chapter! 0-o No fair!)

T.K. smiled gratefully. "Thanks."

"Mm hmm." Ms. Takashi said looking at the clock on the wall. "Go to bed, you've got school tomorrow."

"Oh, yeah about that. We, umm, kind of got suspended."

She sighed exasperatedly. "Of course. For how long?"




At the Motomiya apartment...


"Jun, have you seen your brother?"

"Yeah, I saw him with that kid T.K. around two." Jun pouted a little. "You know Matt's younger brother." She was still a little disgruntled that Matt had chosen a boy over her. And a dorky boy at that! Not that she cared at all about Matt. She hadn't liked him in the first place. (Yeah, right)

"Blond, blue eyes, taller then Daisuke, and kind of pale?" Mrs. Motomiya asked, shooting her husband an unreadable look.

"Yup, that's him." Jun confirmed. "I think they were going to T.K.'s house. Why, isn't the squirt back yet?" She would never admit it but she did worry about Daisuke sometimes. He was her little brother and she wasn't completely heartless just a little naïve at times.

"No, but if he's at a friends he should be fine."

"Okay." Jun chirped, gathering up her schoolbooks. "I've got a test tomorrow so I should really get some sleep."

"You do that dear." Mr. Motomiya said. Jun smiled at her parents before leaving the room.

"Do you think he'll tell?" Mrs. Motomiya asked when she was sure Jun couldn't here.

"No, I think we've convinced him it's for his own good." He husband said, shaking his head. "And it is of course. We only do this to make him better."

Mrs. Motomiya nodded. "Of course."



T.K. sighed and looked at Daisuke who was staring out of a window distractedly. It had been three days since his mom had agreed to let Daisuke stay and T.K. hadn't let his boyfriend out of his sights since. The blond smiled fleetingly.

His boyfriend.

Daisuke had admitted that he liked T.K., but that he was still confused about the way he felt and how he could really feel that was for another boy. But they were together all the same and T.K. was glad for that. Things seemed to be getting better but T.K. knew better then to believe that.

Daisuke turned and locked eyes with T.K. He smiled. "What are you looking at?"

"You, stupid. Is there anything else to look at over there?"

"I am not stupid." Daisuke protested getting up and walking over to T.K.

T.K. nodded unconvincingly and pulled a very willing Daisuke into his lap. "So what are you?"

"...Cute?"

"But I already knew that."

"A tease." Daisuke suggested. He leaned back and placed a few kisses along T.K.'s neck. His tongue licked the pale skin and his fingers trailed over T.K.'s back.

"God, I hope not." T.K. muttered wrapping his arms around Daisuke's waist. "Teasing is not well received." Daisuke laughed and pulled back some. T.K. blinked. "Hey..."

"Someone's at the door." Daisuke said by way of explanation.

"Matt, get the door." T.K. ordered.

His brother looked up from his homework. "You're not doing anything you get it."

T.K.'s eyes grew round and wet as he stared at Matt innocently. "Please...?" T.K. knew the puppy eyes always worked. He had to try them on Daisuke some time

"Damn it." Matt muttered getting up and walking away to get the door.

T.K. smiled then turned his attention back to Daisuke. He shifted the redhead some then placed some kisses along Daisuke's jaw line. This of course was well received. T.K. was making his way down Daisuke's neck when a painfully familiar voice broke his concentration.

"Well, I didn't expect this."

Daisuke looked horrified at the sound of his sister's voice. Things were starting to go so well too. To well really. It was only a matter of time before everything went down hill.

"What do you want?" T.K. growled tightening his grip on Daisuke in a possessive manner. He didn't trust Jun at all. He didn't have a reason to.

"My brother." Jun said not letting T.K.'s tone get to her. "He needs to come home. The school called and our parents are worried. Not that it's any of your business."

"No, he doesn't need to go home, I doubt your parents are worried and I'm making it my business." T.K. said eyes darkening with intense anger. T.K. couldn't believe she wanted Daisuke to go back to--

"She doesn't know." Daisuke whispered. T.K. looked at him, mildly surprised. He knew Jun was thick headed but really. "Our parents would never let her find out about this."

T.K. frowned and looked back at Jun. "He's staying here."

Jun shook her head and looked at her brother. "Why don't you think less about screwing around with your boyfriend and more about your parents?"

"I can assure you young lady, no one is screwing around. Not here anyway." Ms. Takashi said. She had left her room to see what all the noise was about. She was in the middle of an article and had asked everyone to be quiet. "And my son seems to think Daisuke should stay here, so I won't make him leave. If your parents are that worried let them know Daisuke is fine."

Jun scowled, realizing she was out numbered here. She turned around and stalked out of the apartment angrily. Matt shut the door after her and walked into the living room a bit confused.

"What was that?"

T.K. frowned trying to think of something to say when he felt Daisuke shaking. Pushing the problem of explaining aside T.K. moved onto something more important. Trying to comfort Daisuke.

"Shh, it's okay. I promise, it'll be fine"

Daisuke's arms wrapped around him and he laid his head on T.K.'s shoulder. Matt and Ms. Takashi watched in shock as Daisuke cried in T.K.'s arms. T.K. looked up once wondering how he could explain all of this. Then he went back to Daisuke and that's where his attention stayed for the next few hours.

Daisuke was sound asleep by six and his head was resting in T.K.'s lap. T.K.'s fingers were running through the spiky red hair when his mother walked back into the living room. She and Matt had taken the hint and left the two boys alone. Matt was out with Tai and Izzy; she had been trying to work.

"T.K., what's going on?"

T.K. didn't look up but his fingers stopped moving. "What if you have a friend who has a secret that you know you should tell, but you can't? Do you tell or do you keep the secret?"

"Well, it depends on how important this secret is." Ms. Takashi said sitting down next to T.K. "How important is this secret?"

"Very." T.K. said looking up. "If you don't tell your friend might get hurt, but you promised that you wouldn't. And no matter how hard you try you know, deep down you really know, that you can't really protect your friend alone. So what should you do?"

"You're too young to protect anybody. You're 15 T.K., it's not your job to protect Daisuke." Ms. Takashi said, knowing full well that this was a pointless argument. T.K. would try to protect his friend no matter what she or anybody else said or did. That was the type of boy she had raised him to be.

"He's so...I can't think of a good word." T.K. silently cursed not being able to express what he thought of Daisuke. "Almost fragile and innocent but not quite. He's not a jerk like everyone thinks and he's scared and alone and...why would anyone want to hurt him?"

"Who? Who's hurting him?" Ms. Takashi frowned, an idea already forming in her mind. "I can't help unless you can tell me."

T.K. blinked a few times. This must be where he got it. He sighed and shook Daisuke lightly. Daisuke made a noise of protest but opened an eye and peered at him questioningly.

"I'm not spending all night on the couch so get up."

Daisuke yawned and sat up. "'Night Ms Takashi."

"Goodnight Daisuke."

"I promised." T.K. whispered so Daisuke couldn't here him. That said T.K. followed his boyfriend back to his room. He had promised not to tell and he wouldn't unless he absolutely had to.



"Hello?" T.K. greeted the four boys in the kitchen, not really sure who everyone was here. Joe was supposed to be out of town, lord only knew why Izzy and Tai were there, and...well he knew why Matt was here, but if Joe was back then Matt should have been back at their apartment.

"Hi." Joe said, a wicked smile gracing his lips. He had developed a better sense of humor since going out with Matt. Now, whether or not this was a good thing was still undecided. "So, you've found yourself a boyfriend?"

Okay, so it was a bad thing.

T.K. shot Matt a withering look "When are you leaving again?"

Tai, never on to miss out on a chance to tease someone, spoke up. "So who is the lucky boy? Or do you want us to guess?"

"I want you all to go away." T.K. muttered looking in the cupboard for a bowl. "But since that isn't going to happen anytime soon, you can ask him when he wakes up."

Izzy raised a surprised eyebrow. "You mean he's here?"

T.K. nodded. "In my room actually. Who ate all the Corn Pops (tm)?"

"He's here in your room, probably in your bed, and your mom doesn't care?" Tai asked.

T.K., having decided on one sugar covered cereal that wasn't his Corn Pops, nodded again. "See, unlike you perverts, I actually control my hormones and don't have to sleep with somebody just because they happen to be in my bed."

"But where's the fun in that?" Joe had to ask.

"My boyfriend is allowed to sleep in my bed with me." T.K. said like it was obvious. "Where as you all had to move in together to get that privilege. We can share a bed and don't have to pay rent."

All four of the older boys took a moment to consider that then assorted types of cereal were tossed at the younger blond who smirked.

"You're just mad I'm smarter then you four combined. Then again Matt and Tai together don't equal a normal persons I.Q. so it does make sense."

Daisuke chose that moment to walk into the room, rubbing his eyes sleepily, and inadvertently saving his boyfriend from Tai and Matt.

Long pause. Muffled laughter. Loud snicker. Questioning look. Falling out of chair. Blink. Blush. Knocking at the door.

Matt looked away from his fallen best friend and went to answer the door. Izzy stared at his boyfriend disdainfully and offered Tai a hand. Joe was still snickering and Daisuke was blushing cutely, in T.K.'s opinion anyway. (Mine too!)

"Oh, hello Mr. and Mrs. Motomiya."

The embarrassment left Daisuke's place and was replaced with fear. T.K. looked mad instead of amused suddenly.

"Go get my mom."

Daisuke nodded and left to get Ms. Takashi.

"Did we miss something?" Izzy asked, wondering what was going on.

T.K. nodded and looked out of the kitchen into the hall where Matt was talking to Daisuke's parents. The basic gist of it was that they wanted Daisuke to came home with them or else they would contact the police something T.K. doubted, because if Daisuke left then he could tell and wouldn't be breaking his promise.

"Do you want something?" T.K. turned to see his mother standing behind him, with Daisuke half-hiding behind her.

"Our son." Mr. Motomiya replied stiffly. "He needs to come home."

"I don't think so." Ms. Takashi said looking a bit ticked off. "I don't know if you've noticed, but your son seems terrified of you and I see no reason to make him go."

"That's not the point." Mrs. Motomiya said glaring at the brunette. "He should be at home with us, not here with your son."

"Do you have something against my son?" Ms. Takashi asked frowning dangerously. It was too early for this and she wasn't in a good mood after last night.

"Yes, he's taken our son from his home."

"I did not." T.K. protested. "He wouldn't have come if it wasn't for you."

Daisuke whimpered softly and moved so he was behind Ms. Takashi more. T.K. glared at his boyfriend' parents while moving to Daisuke's side. He put a hand on Daisuke's shoulder and pulled the redhead back to his room. Daisuke's eyes started to fill with tears as they sat on T.K.'s bed.

"They're gonna make me go back." He whispered. "They're gonna hurt me because I left, I shouldn't have left, that was so stupid of me I shouldn't have left."

"No, that's not true. Don't cry, I'm not going to let anyone hurt you, and my mom's not going to let them take you, promise." Daisuke managed a tiny nod before crawling into T.K.'s lap.

"Please don't let them hurt me."

Five minutes passed, then ten and soon twenty. Then Matt stuck his head into T.K.'s room and two pairs of eyes stared at him questioningly.

"Mom said he has to go."

Daisuke broke down as soon as the words left Matt's mouth and T.K. held him close but didn't look away from Matt. Matt's gaze was on Daisuke for a moment then he looked up at T.K.

"What are we supposed to do?" Matt asked. T.K. frowned and looked down at Daisuke

"You have to tell them Dais." The redhead shook his head violently and T.K. continued to speak to him, using the same soothing tone he used when Daisuke cried, which was more often then Matt or his mother knew. "You have to or else you have to go back."

Daisuke shook his head again and pulled away from T.K. "I can't."

"Then I will."

"Tell us what?" Matt asked as T.K. slid past him leaving Daisuke on the bed.

T.K. didn't reply. Ms. Takashi looked back at her son grimly.

"Where's Daisuke?"

"Crying in my room." T.K. said through gritted teeth. "He can't go."

"T.K., honey, he has to."

"NO." T.K. said firmly. "You don't know what they're doing to him!"

The Motomiyas paled a little at what T.K. was saying. Daisuke couldn't have told him, he wouldn't do that! Not after all the explaining they had done. It was for Daisuke's own good.

Joe, Izzy, and Tai were standing in the kitchen doorway watching the seen, utterly confused yet knowing this was big. T.K. took a steadying breath, hoping Daisuke would forgive him for this.

"They're hurting him. They hit him every time they think he does something wrong which is all the time. I've seen the bruises they've given him and they tell him it's because they care and he believes them and he made me promise not to tell because they would be mad at him."

"I think you should go." Ms. Takashi said, completely disgusted. This is what she had thought the secret was, but that didn't do anything to ease her anger. Anyone who would hit their child didn't deserve to have children and especially not Daisuke.

T.K. was back in his room before his mother spoke again. Back in the bed and back to holding Daisuke. Daisuke was shaking from crying as well as from fear.

It wasn't over he could feel it. He knew this wasn't over as much as he wanted it too be.



Yes, I'm ending the chapter here. Maybe even the story. Well, see ya bye and review if you want more!
