Digimon Fan Fiction ❯ The Quest for Hope ❯ Then it's a duck ( Chapter 5 )

Jyou was walking home through the park. He was surprised at what he saw. Ken was asleep with his head on Takeru's lap.

"What happened?"

"Well, I was showing him some more magic, and he fell asleep." Takeru looked down lovingly at Ken. "You would think after a week, he would know that I can do real magic."

Jyou chuckled. "He's very stubborn."

"I've noticed. But that's just part of him. I've been known to be stubborn too."

Jyou sat down beside Takeru. "Is your brother like you?"

Takeru looked strangely at Jyou. "Why?"

"He's trying very hard to keep me. And I don't understand. I've never given him any indication that I would leave him."

Takeru sighed. "Most of us find our soulmates when we are very young. But Yama and I never did, since you two were here."

Jyou nodded. "That I understand. But he's found me."

"That doesn't mean anything to him unfortunately. He still thinks that you might change your mind and leave him."

Jyou sighed. "I love him. I know I will always love him."

"Then you just have to convince him of that."

Jyou looked at Ken in Takeru's lap. "Speaking of convincing people, how are you doing with Ken?"

Takeru shrugged. "He acts like a soulmate, but he's still saying he's not. But I know he'll come around in time."

"You know the saying, if it acts like a duck, looks like a duck, and sounds like a duck, it is a duck."

"True. But what if the duck doesn't want to be a duck?"

"Then the duck needs therapy."

"I don't think that anyone here can help Ken with that." Takeru grinned at Jyou.

Jyou chuckled at that. "You two are coming to Koushiro's tonight?"

"Yes. But of course Ken and I aren't coming together, of course."

"Of course."

"But he does want to make sure that I get there, and that I still spend the night with him." Takeru winked at Jyou. "But that doesn't mean that he's a duck."

"Who's a duck?" Ken asked sleepily. "Is there a costume party? Hi, Jyou."

"Hello," answered Jyou. "Not that I know of. I was just talking to Takeru."

"About ducks?" Ken seemed confused.

Takeru giggled. "About all sorts of things. We ended up talking about ducks."

"OK……" Ken sat up. "I need to be getting home and working on my homework. Then we can go to Koushiro's, Takeru."

Takeru stood up and helped Ken to stand. "Bye Jyou."

"Bye, Takeru."

Ken led Takeru back to his apartment. Ken was holding on to Takeru's hand and was talking to him along the way.

Jyou shook his head. Sometimes things could be so weird…..
