Digimon Fan Fiction ❯ Lost ❯ Ch. 1 Part 3 ( Chapter 3 )

Lost Chapter 1 part 3

Disclaimer: I still do not own digimon, or anything else, besides the band. They are still mine. All four of them.

Warning: Still Yaoi. That will not change. Still Yamato and Ken. That will eventually change. Maybe.

Ken ran out of the apartment. Tears burned his eyes and blurred his vision. He ran headlong down the strairs and into the night street. It was just after sunset, the western most sky still faintly glowing orange. He didn't know where he was going, just that he had to get away. Away from them, away from his friends, people who would surely hate him now. They knew about Yamato, at least Takeru did. Being gay was bad enough, but having sex with two guys was worse. They would tell the others and everyone would hate him, just like his father. And because of him they would hate Yamato, too. They would have to. They would hate him and Yamato would kick him out and he'd have no place to go. he should have died with his mother. At least then people would still like him, even if they didn't love him. Then Yamato would be safe. He messed up everything. He always had.

A car honked it's horn and brakes squeeled. Ken looked up in time to see the can that clipped him. He wasn't badly hurt, just knocked to the ground. The driver got out and walked over to him. Ken threw himself to his feet and continued to run. He didn't see Kumota question the driver as to which way he went, for he was already far away.

His lungs ached, his legs hurt. That was why he stopped running. No other reason than that. He certanly hadn't ment to stop at the bridge. He walked slowly to the edge and looked down into the cold, dark water as it rushed past. Tears streaked down his face as he leaned out over the edge and looked deaper. He climbed up onto to cement railing and leened out farther. He looked down into the water, tears falling from his cheaks, and let go of the railing.

*******

Kumota ran in the direction that the driver had pointed him. He had to catch up to Ken. He had to. If he didn't… there was no telling what the boy might do. He had nearly thrown himself into the river once before. He might try it again. he ran faster.

"Kumota! Mateio!" a voice called behind him. He slowed for Tenshi and Akarui. They caught him easily.

"Yama says to go to the river." Tenshi said as they ran. The three nodded and headed for the river. They arrived just in time to see Ken looking out over the water.

"Ken!" Kumota called. The younger boy didn't seem to here him. He just leaned out farther. Then he climbed up onto the railing and leaned out… and let go. just as Yamato, Ame, and the others arrived, Ken let go and started to fall, headlong, into the river.

"NO!" Yamato yelled and ran to the railing. He jumped in after Ken. The rest ran to the rail and watched as Yamato swam after Ken as the heavy current swiftly dragged them downriver.

"Shit! They current's too strong for Yama to get out with the boy," Tenshi swore, "He doesn't swim well enough. I'm going in after them." No one stopped him as he dove in after the other two. He caught up to Yamato fairly quickly.

"I'll help." Was all he said as he struck out for Ken. He caught the boy's collar and dragged him to his chest. Together he and Yamato managed to drag Ken to the bank where the rest rushed to help them out. Hikari stood away from the group, face pale.

"Ken isn't breathing." Kumota said. Tenshi stepped in and began to give Ken CPR. Takeru walked over to Hikari and gathered her in his arms. Taichi gathered Yamato in his arms and held him as he stared at Ken. Daiske, Ame, Kumota, and Akarui stood back, out of the way.

It seemed like forever before Ken spluttered, coughed, choked, and spit up the water he had inhaled and began to breathe on his own. He did not wake up, however. The others tried to talk Yamato into taking Ken to the hospital, but Yamato flatly refused.

"What good will it do him? He'll wake up alone, like he did when his mother died. I won't allow it. He's comeing back to my apartment. Are you going to help, or do I carry him myself?" Yamato asked as he shivered from the cold. Akarui lifted Ken gently into his arms and headed for Yamato's apartment. Yamato smiled and walked beside him, one of Ken's hands in both of his.

*******

Yamato got Ken tucked up in his bed, under the warmest blankets he owned. He sat in a chair beside him, wiating for the younger boy to wake up. The rest were in the other room, talking quietly. Yamato knew that they were talking about him and Ken. About them beeing gay. The digidestined probably thought that they were freaks, would hate them. At that moment he didn't care. It was the one thing that he had worried about for ages, and right now he didn't care. Ken began to stir in his sleep and cry. Yamato got into the bed beside him and gathered him into his arms. He whispered to Ken until he quieted. Shortly after he fell asleep himself.

******

"So you knew that Yamato was gay?" Taichi asked Akarui. The others were all listening to the two of them.

"Yes. The whole band knows." Akarui replied and flipped his hair over his shoulder.

"Why would he tell you and not us? We're his freinds." Taichi asked, perplexed.

"Simple. I was the first to find out. I was drunk and I thought that he looked so gorgeous that I just had to kiss him. So I did. Not only did he not flip, we slept together that night. I was helping him move in here." Akarui replied, matter of factly.

"WHAT?!" Taichi yelled.

"Be quiet! You'll wake Yama and Ken!" Akarui rushed, glowering at him.

"Sorry." Was all that Taichi said.

"I want to know why he wouldn't tell me." Takeru said after a short silence.

"Simple," Ame said, "he doesn't want you to hate him. He said once that he could lose all of his freinds and find a way to survive, but he'd die if he lost you."

"I wouldn't hate him for it. He's my brother." Takeru replied softly. Before Hikari could reach out to Takeru Daiske's arm was around his shoulders.

"We all know that, but he doesn't. It is probably because he never gets to see you." He told Takeru. Takeru looked up at him and smiled. He then gathered Hikari into his arms. Taichi smiled.

"My best friend may be a freak, but at least his little brother is normal." He said. The others stared.

"How can you say that?" Hikari asked.

"How do you know that?" Takeru replied.

"What?" Taichi asked. Hikari just smiled.

"Just because Takeru and I have been together since grade school does not mean that he is strait." Hikari replied. Takeru smiled and reached around to grab Daiske. Daiske blushed. Hikari giggled.

"What?" Taichi asked again. Takeru, Daiske, and Hikari sighed. The band grinned. They thought that they knew what was comeing next. They were not disapointed.

Hikari slid over a bit and Daiske sat down with her and Takeru. Takeru gently took Daiske's face in his hands and kissed him. Daiske reluctantly pulled back after a few monets and in turn kissed Hikari. She sighed as she pulled away and kissed Takeru. Taichi stared, mouth agape as the band grinned and lightly aplauded.

"See?" Hikari asked.

"You…you…you are dating two gay men?" Taichi asked, getting mad.

"No. I am dating one bisexual who is dating another bisexual." Hikari explained.

"What?" Taichi asked, confused.

"It means that she is dateing Takeru, whos is in turn dating me, so I get the benefits of dating her as well." Daiske explained. Taichi gaped, the band giggled.

"Have any of you slept together?" Ame asked. Hikari blushed.

"Yes." Takeru whispered, studdying the floor.

"I have been with Takeru, Hikari, and the both of them together." Daiske said, proudly. Taichi snapped. He attacked Daiske with a yell. Hikari and Takeru jumped out of the way as Taichi lifted Daiske to his feet and began to punch him.

"Taichi! Stop it! Leave Daiske alone!" Hikari yelled. Takeru tried to pry Taichi off of Daiske, only to have Taichi drop Daiske and round on him. Taichi caught Takeru off gaurd. He knocked the younger to the floor. He fists flew at Takeru's face as he yelled.

"You cheat on my little sister, then bring her into your disgusting world? You little freak! You mother fucking freak!" he screamed.

"Taichi get off of Takeru!" Hikari yelled. He ignored her.

"Get away from him!" Daiske yelled from where Ame and Tenshi were helping him up.

"Taichi Yagami! Get off of my little brother!" came a cold voice from the bedroom door. The others froze as Yamato walked into the room. He graabbed the back of Taichi's shirt and pulled him off Takeru. Hikari rushed to Takeru's side and helped him sit up, fussing over him.

"You may not like him right now, but you will NOT harm him in my home!" Yamato growled at Taichi. "Hikari would never let that sort of realtionship happen if she didn't want it." By this time Daiske was at the other side of the room with Hikari and Takeru, holding both of them. Everyone was watching Taichi and Yamato.

"Leave me alone, you fraek!" Taichi shot at him.

"Am I a freak because I like guys, or because I was having sex with two of them at the same time?" Yamtao asked, voice cold.

"Yama?" a faint voice called from the bedroom before Taichi could answer. Before Yamato could respond Taichi had rushed into the bedroom. The others followed, craming into the doorway, only Yamato got in.

"What do you need, Ken?" Taichi asked, concern filling his voice and eyes.

"I had a bad dream." Came the sleepy reply. Taichi nodded and gathered Ken into his arms.

"It's alright. Dreams can't hurt you. What was it about?"

"Someone was yelling, hating me because of tonight. It sounded like you, Tai."

"It wasn't me. I don't hate you. Why would I?"

"Because I'm a freak."

"How?"

"I'm gay. You hate gays."

"No I don't." Yamato snorted.

"Sure." He said sarcastically, "and you just attacked my little brother for no reason." Taichi flushed and Ken looked confused. Yamato aproached the bed and Taichi stood up. Yamato gathered Ken into his arms.

"Get out." He said, then he kissed the top of Ken's head. Ken sighed happily and leaned back into Yamato.

"Love you, Yama." He muttered before falling back to sleep. Yamato looked up at the groupe in his doorway.

"I said get out. Ken neads his sleep." He told them. Hikari and Daiske were the first to go back into the other room. The band followed. Taichi slunk out past Takeru, his head low. Takeru shut the door and walked over to the bed.

"Yama?" he asked.

"I thought that I told you to get out."

"I just wanted to say that I love you, Nisan." He said and leaned over to hug his brother carefully. Yamato looked up at him in shock. "Yama, I am not only sleeping with Hikari, I am sleeping with Daiske, and when we can, the three of us sleep together, alright? How could I hate you for liking guys when I like them, too?"

Yamato smiled at him and loosed one arm from Ken to hug him.

"You'd better get back in there with them, then. I think that Taichi has some explaining to do." Yamato said with a grin. Takeru smiled and turned to go. "Oh, and Takeru?"

"Yes?" he asked turning back.

"Are they any good?" Yamato asked with a lopsided grin.

"Only the best." Takeru replied with that same grin. Then he went back out into the main room with the rest of them.

"Takeru?" Hikari asked as he shut the dor behind himself.

"Yes?"

"Are you alright? My brother didn't hurt you too badly did he?"

"No. Just gave me an eye to match the one you gave me." he replied, and she flushed.

"Gomen. It's just that the two of you were getting so heated that I knew you'd be reduced to making out right then and there if I didn't do something. Then everyone would have found out."

"I guess that everyone will know now. Your brother can't keep his mouth shut."

"I can so!" Taichi exclaimed and received glares from everyone there.

"You keep a secret about as well as you keep your cool." Ame said.

"I think that you owe all of us an explanation, for the diference between what you did out here and how you reacted to Ken." Tenshi interupted before another fight could start.

"That's easy. Ken hasn't fucked my sister."

"That's not what I meant. It is comonly known that you are a homophobic."

"Oh…that. Well… you see… Koushiro and I have been going out for a while…and we didn't want anyone to know. The best answer seemed to be to make people think that I was homophobic. That way, if rumors started, no one would believe them." Taichi explained as he looked at the floor.

"But you and Sora…I walked in on you…" Hikari asked in confusion.

"Well…the three of us sort went on for a while until she found some guy. The one she's with now."

"That's different from my realashonship how?" she asked.

"Sora isn't my baby sister." Taichi shot at her. Hikari nodded. Yamato came back out of the bedroom and shut the door tight behind him.

"Is everything settled?" he asked. Everyone nodded. "Good. Then you can all leave. I'm tired, I want to go to sleep. I do not care what is going on with any of you right now, the only thing that matters to me is that Ken is alright. Good night." He said and collapsed on the now vacant couch. Before anyone could say anything he was asleep.

"One of us should stay with them tonight." Tenshi said as they all prepared to leave.

"I will." Ame said and lay down on the floor. The rest left very quietly.

******

When Ken cried out in the middle of the night Ame went to him. Ken followed him into the main room and curled up with him on the floor, not wanting to disturb Yamato. He was still upset and frightened that the digidestined would hate him. He was soon asleep again.

Yamato woke a few hours later and saw the two of them on the floor together. he carefully woke Ame and gently picked up Ken. The three of them curled up in Yamayo's bed together and slept through the rest of the night.

******

Takeru and Hikari stayed up late that night talking. Daiske had gone to sleep as soon as they had arrived at Takeru's. Hikari had called the appropriate parents to inform them of the impromptu sleepover. Neither mother had fussed, deciding that it was better for their children to stay where they were do to the sudden rain. Besides, the three had sleep overs often, and with three of them there was no chance of anything funny going on.

Hikari smiled, leaning into Takeru and looking down at Daiske, who was asleep on her lap.

"I can not believe my brother. I mean, I knew that he had found someone after he and Sora broke up, but I thought that the reason he wouldn't tell anyone who it was was because he didn't want to admit to finding someone else. He swore for the longest time that Sora was his only love." Hikari giggled quietly. Takeru shrugged.

"You find out something new every day. I knew we were dead as soon as Daiske admitted to the threesomes. I mean, Taichi would have been pissed over the two of us, and Daiske and myself, but I knew he'd be livid about the threesomes." Takeru said quietly, stroking Daiske's hair. Daiske smiled in his sleep and muttered. The other two smiled fondly at him.

"I wonder if Yama will tell Ken." Hikari mused.

"It would probably be a good thing. I mean, then he'd know that the three of us won't hate him." Takeru replied. She smiled at him.

"I hope that he gives us the chance to talk to Ken ourselves, though."

"Yah. That would be the best route to take right now. Although Daiske's bluntness would not necessarily be bad." She giggled again.

"Only because Daiske might spill that you like Ken. Or that he does. You just don't want to lose our favorite toy."

"So?" she leaned in and kissed him. He sighed into her mouth. Daiske woke up.

"Hey! No nonsense without me!" he called as he sat up. Hikari giggled.

"There will be no nonsense tonight, at least not with me. My brother can only nearly kill the two of you so many times before he actually succeeds." Hikari told them. She stood and walked over to the large mess of blankets on the floor and lay down. The other two joined her and they went to sleep in a large ball, Hikari in the middle, the boys at the edge, of flesh and blankets.

******

Ken woke slowly the next morning. He felt warm, and safe. His head hurt, his arm really hurt. He stirred a little and moaned. He felt a body behind him and snuggled into it. He opened his eyes and saw Yamato's sleeping face in front of his. He froze. The night before came back in a rush. He and Yama had…with…and the others…he had run off…fallen into the river…yelling…Taichi holding him…sleep…waking to find Yama on the couch, Ame on the floor…tears sprang to his eyes. Yama hadn't left him. Taichi had soothed him after a bad dream. Maybe things would be alright.

He carefully climbed out of the bed, not disturbing Yama or Ame. He stretched and went to use the restroom. As he wandered into the kitchen to get a glass of water he heard a light tapping on the door. He looked around, saw that the other two were still sleeping and shrugged. There was nothing for it, he would have to answer the door. He walked over to the door, took a deep breath, and opened it. Takeru, Daiske, and Hikari were standing there. Ken looked at the floor and blushed.

"Uh, hi guys." Ken muttered.

"Hey Ken. How are you feeling today?" Hikari asked. He shrugged. He felt strong, soft arms wrapping about his shoulders. He looked up, startled. Takeru was holding him.

"T-t-Takeru?" he asked. Takeru held him tighter. Daiske slipped in around Takeru and Ken, shutting the door behind him.

"You scared us all to death last night, Ken. You baka. Never run off like that again!" Takeru cried quietly into Ken's shoulder. Ken just stood there, shock plane on his face. A few minutes later Takeru finally let Ken go. He stepped back, quickly, his face red.

"Gomen, Ken. I don't know what came over me." he mumbled, stepping aside to get around the other boy, his eyes glued to the floor. Ken just stood there.

"Are you alright?" Daiske asked. Ken nodded. Hikari and Daiske looked at each other.

"Are you sure? You don't look to good." Hikari asked. Ken suddenly collapsed onto the floor. Hikari was at his side instantly. "Ken, it's alright. Breath, Ken." She murmured, rubbing his back gently. Ken looked up at her, tears in his eyes.

"You don't hate me?" he asked. Hikari smiled.

"Of course not. Why would we?" she asked, her voice soft.

"Because I was…I…I was…with…Yamato…and…Ame…" Ken's voice trailed off. Hikari hugged him.

"Don't be silly, Ken. You're our friend. We love you. It doesn't matter what you do, or who you do it with. We'll still love you. Besides, you're not the only one to have a threesome." Hikari told him. Ken's head snapped to look at her.

"WHAT?"

"Well…you see. Takeru, Daiske and I…" Hikari's voice trailed off, her face turning a deep shade of scarlet. Ken stared.

"The three of you…?" he asked. She nodded, Takeru shrugged.

"Yep! A lot!" Daiske piped up, he sounded very proud of himself. Ken blushed.

"Oh." Was all he said. Hikari giggled. "What's so funny?" he asked her.

"That's a better reaction than my niisan had." She giggled.

"What did Taichi do?" he asked.

"Beat the two of us to a pulp." Takeru said, raising his head to look at Ken. Ken finally noticed his new black eye.

"Your eye…" he said, leaning forward to gently brush the swollen skin around the eye.

"Yah. Both siblings have now given me a black eye." Takeru said, and gave Ken that lopsided smile both brothers shared.

"But…that doesn't make sense. I remember waking after a bad dream, and Taichi held me, soothed the fear away." Ken looked confused.

"He did. He then explained to us that you are not his little sister, nor were you, and I quote, `fucking' her." Daiske replied. Ken tilted his head to the side, looking rather like a curious cat.

"Interesting wording. I thought that he was homophobic." He stated.

"He's not."

"Sora?"

"Was serious. Now he's with a guy."

"Who?"

"Koushiro."

"Seriously?"

"Yes." Daiske said. The two seemed to have forgotten that anyone else was there.

"Excuse me, boys, but there are other people in the room, and gossip about my brother's sex life is not one of my favorite topics." Hikari interrupted them. The two blushed.

"Gomen." They muttered. Hikari giggled.

"Where is my brother?" Takeru asked.

"Sleeping." Ken replied, smiling.

"And Ame?" Hikari asked.

"Also sleeping." Ken nodded towards the bedroom. The other three giggled.

"Isn't it much nicer to wake up and find two warm bodies curled up with yours?" Daiske asked. Ken nodded.

"We should be quiet. Yama is grumpy if he's woken before he's ready to get up." Ken told them. Takeru nodded.

"He's a bear in the morning." Ken looked thoughtful again. A shadow passed over his face.

"There's one thing about last night that I don't remember." Ken said.

"What's that?" Hikari asked.

"I dropped into the river, then I passed out. How did I get from there to here?" he asked.

"When you ran out, Yamato panicked. Kumota ran after you. Yamato told the rest of us to go to the river. Akarui and Tenshi ran out to catch Kumota. Ame stayed to help Yama, he'd gone weak-kneed with panic. We all headed out together. We got to the bridge in time to see you drop. Yama jumped in after you. Tenshi jumped in after Yama. They fished you out. They had to perform CPR on you. You choked up a lot of water. We brought you back here because Yama refused to put you in the hospital. He said that he would not have you waking up alone in that place again. Things were said by Taichi that shouldn't have been. We revealed our secret. A fight ensued. Yama stopped it. You called out. Taichi and Yama soothed you back to sleep. Yama kicked us out. Well, he told us to leave and then collapsed on the couch, out cold, and we left." Daiske said to him. Ken had grown paler with each word.

"You scared us all to death." Hikari spoke softly, and placed a gentle hand on Ken's shoulder. Daiske nodded and slid next to Ken, wrapping an arm around his shoulders.

"That's why you hugged me like that." He said to Takeru. Takeru nodded. Ken stood up and sat beside Takeru on the couch. He hugged the blond boy and held on.

"Thank you." He whispered in Takeru's ear. Takeru smiled and hugged him in return. Hikari and Daiske smiled and joined the other two on the couch. They just sat like that, all holding each other, for a long time. Eventually Ken fell asleep again. The other three just smiled and held him, covering him in the love and support they knew he needed.

******

"Ken?" Yamato's sleepy voice came from the bedroom. "Ken?" it was clearer, more urgent this time. "Ame! Wake up! Ken's gone!" panic painted his voice now. The two came running into the front room, faces pale, and skid to a stop. Ken was sound asleep on the couch. His head was on Takeru's lap, Hikari was rubbing his back, and Daiske sat on the floor, head on Takeru's knee, staring at Ken's face, one hand on Ken's thigh. Yamato sighed in relief and dropped to his knees next to the couch. He placed a hand behind Ken's head and stroked his hair. Ame just stood and watched. He smiled.

"Hey guys." Ame said, quietly. Takeru nodded, Hikari smiled.

"Hi." Daiske said, sitting up straight. Yamato gently pushed him out of his place and slid into it. Daiske shrugged.

"Poor baby. He was so unsure when he answered the door. He went into shock when Takeru hugged him." Hikari told them.

"He asked what happened last night after he fell in the river." Takeru said. Yamato looked at his little brother, fear flashing in his eyes.

"We told him." Daiske stated.

"He sat next to me on the couch and hugged me. I hugged him back. It turned into a group hug. Then he fell asleep again." Takeru finished.

"He'll be fine, for now." Hikari told Yamato. Yama nodded. He leaned forward and kissed Ken lightly on the lips.

"Hey, sleeping beauty, time to get up. I have to call the school and tell them that you won't be in today." Yamato whispered. Then he looked at the other three teens seated on his couch. "Why aren't you in school?" he asked. They blushed.

"I called in and told them that I was ill." Takeru said.

"I said that I had a family emergency to take care of." Hikari whispered.

"I said that I had to go visit my sick aunt." Daiske piped up.

"All our parents know that we didn't go today. We told them that Ken had an accident last night, so we wanted to go see him to make sure he was alright." Hikari told Yamato. Ame laughed quietly.

"You're better than Yama-chan ever was." He told them. Yamato blushed and kissed Ken again. The younger boy stirred a little, and his eyes fluttered open. He smiled and leaned forward to kiss Yamato better. He then fell of Takeru's lap and the couch, right into Yamato's lap. Everyone laughed. Ken looked around and blushed.

"Gomen." He whispered. "I forgot where I was, and that we had company." He said. Yamato smiled and leaned down to kiss him again.

"Kawaii!" Hikari practically squealed. Ken blushed and pulled away from Yamato a little bit.

"You are cute together, you know." Ame piped up. Yamato joined Ken in his blush. Hikari giggled.

"I don't think that either of you could turn any more red." Takeru teased. Daiske laughed as the two proceeded to do what Takeru had just claimed to be impossible.

"Well…I have to get ready for work after calling Ken in sick. The rest of you are welcome to stay here, if you'd like. Keep Ken company. I'd appreciate it." Yamato said. Ken got off of his lap. Yamato stood and headed for the phone in the bedroom.

"Do you mind, Ken?" Hikari asked.

"No. I'd like the company. A lot." Ken said. Hikari smiled.

"We'd love to spend the day with you. We'll have fun." Takeru said. Daiske nodded. Ken smiled and glomped Takeru. The two tumbled to the floor, laughing. Ken tickled Takeru, Takeru tried to tickle back. An all out tickle war began. All four of the teens were rolling around on the floor, laughing and tickling one another. Yamato walked back in, saw the commotion, laughed and shook his head.

"Why didn't you get in on it?" he asked Ame.

"They seem to be having plenty of pain without me joining in." he replied.

"Keep an eye on them until you leave, alright?"

"Sure. No problem." Ame replied. Yamato nodded, separated Ken from the fight, gave him a goodbye kiss and headed out to work.

The four teens continued their tickle fight for a while. They then decided to watch movies and eat popcorn. Bye the time that Ame left for work, Ken was again asleep, and the other three were watching some anime about an incredibly hyper active, genki, blonde girl with a very odd family and her husband. They seemed to be keeping Ken cheery, so Ame decided he could risk leaving Ken with them. At least the boy knew that he had friends that would not leave him.

End Part Three.
