Well, Taichi finally got to dig into the pizza after all the ladies had
chosen what he considered to be the best pieces, mainly those with the most
gooey stuff falling off the edges. He took several smaller pieces to make
up for it, as well as swiping a bit of Sora's toppings when she wasn't
looking. He sat down, contented, next to Koushirou in the middle of the
group of ravenous kids.
"So, Tai, when do you want to make our announcement?" Koushirou asked him quietly between bites.
"Uh, I really don't know," Tai answered with his mouth full. The truth was that he'd been trying for about an hour to figure out how to broach the subject. A totally objective way to speak Tai's problem is that he had cold feet.
Koushirou, being as perceptive as he was had figured that out a little while ago. Tai's eyes looked like he was a deer stuck in headlights. Brave Tai has finally found his match, he thought to himself and grinned at his boyfriend who he decided was dead sexy when a bit scared. Koushirou glanced over at the other two couples and noticed the same look in Takeru's and Yamato's eyes.
Koushirou made up his mind. It seemed that he and Iori and Daisuke might have to end up doing the honors. "Daisuke, Iori, could I have a minute or two with you in the kitchen, please?" the redhead asked as he got up and started walking in that direction.
Koushirou leaned on the counter as the other boys entered the kitchen. "What's up, Koushirou?" Daisuke asked as he leaned beside him. Iori also had a questioning look in his eyes.
"Well, I think that if I wait for Tai to make the announcement like we were planning on doing, we'd be sitting here all night."
"I've come to the same conclusion, Koushirou," Iori said with his arms crossed. Daisuke nodded his head.
"Well then, should we take matters into our own hands? I won't do it unless you two are in."
"I'm in," Iori said and Daisuke quickly followed suit.
"Alright, here's the plan then," Koushirou said as the others leaned closer.
Back out in the living room, Sora had decided that it was time to get the party started. She turned the stereo on and music filled the room. The three boys returned from their kitchen rendezvous to find Tai and Sora in the middle of singing some unidentifiable song together karaoke style. The boys were a bit more than a little shocked when they heard what was supposed to be melody.
"What are they doing?" Daisuke asked Ken.
"I think they're trying to use sonic energy to get bugs out of the house. I'm really not sure." Ken's remark caused the others to break up and pretty much ruin Tai and Sora's song. ~ ~ ~
"Kari, could I talk to you for just a moment?" Iori asked the girl and she nodded and followed him back into the kitchen. Nearly silent whispers passed between them as Kari nodded and received a small package from Iori as they left the kitchen and returned to the room. Kari held the small object in her hands and set it on the table, the lens facing the direction of the stereo.
Koushirou looked to his left and got a nod from Iori, and then to his right and received a nod from Daisuke. "Here we go," he said and rose to his feet and walked to his backpack. Koushirou pulled out a disc and made his way over to the stereo. "If I could have your attention," he said as he stopped whatever song happened to be playing and popped the disc out and replaced it with his own. "Iori, Daisuke, and myself would like to dedicate this next song to a few special people. So, if we could have this dance?" He reached behind him and gently touched the play button. Kari reached over and pushed a button of her own. A few guitar chords came out of the speakers as the three red-faced boys rose to their feet and made their way to their counterparts.
Each took the hand of their boyfriend and allowed themselves to be pulled in close. **"She's my kind of rain, Like love in a drunken sky, She's confetti falling down all night,"** a voice sang out sweetly. Arms intertwined and the boys drew tight as they could, slowly dancing around to the amazed looks given to them by most of the Digi-Destined.
~ ~ ~ Kari ~ ~ ~
I'm glad this is finally out in the open. I just hope that the others take it as well as I think they will. They sure do make cute couples though. Especially Takeru and Iori. That is almost too cute to be legal. I am a bit surprised about Yamato though. I'd never expected that from the rock star
**"She sits quietly there, Black water in a jar, Says baby, why're you trembling like you are?"**
~ ~ ~ Sora ~ ~ ~
Well, this is quite surprising. I've known about Koushirou for a while now, and had an inkling about him and Taichi, but I'd not have guessed the other four. I guess I can go on and take Yamato off my possible date list now.
**"So I wait, And I try, I confess like a child"**
~ ~ ~ Ken ~ ~ ~
What the hell? Are they. . . Dancing? When did this happen? You know, I can maybe see Koushirou and Takeru being gay, but I'd never have suspected Tai and Yamato. I guess strange things happen when you spend too much time in the digital world. Oh well. They do all look cute together. Oh my! I think that Miyako is about to blow her top
**"She's my kind of rain, Like love in a drunken sky, She's confetti falling down all night,"**
~ ~ ~ Miyako ~ ~ ~
Aahh!! What is my Daisuke doing dancing with someone else? Especially someone else who happens to not only be not me, but a boy? Oh man, I don't know if I can watch anymore of this. Wait, I have to. I can imagine myself as Yamato and. . .
The song played on and the others watched as the six boys seemed to fall away from their world and into their own. They slowly moved across the floor and noticed nothing except for their partner for the duration of the song. When it finally ended they broke their tight embraces and faced the audience. They were met with the sound of clapping.
Koushirou's face turned a red that matched his hair. Tai and Takeru had the dopiest grins on their faces. Daisuke wrapped his arms around Yamato and Iori only grinned.
"I take it that you all are officially going out, huh?" Sora asked, not being able to help but laugh at the assembly of boys in front of her. "So how long has it been?" She added after she got a bunch of nods in reply.
"Tai and I have been going out for about two months now," Koushirou told her.
"About the same for Iori and me," Takeru added.
"And Dai and I have been going out for," Yamato checked his watch, "about half an hour now."
Miyako fell backwards out of her chair, muttering something about having missed her chance by less than an hour.
"Could you all have found a more surprising way to tell us all you guys?" Ken asked, grinning at both Miyako and the whole situation.
"We tried to think of a nice, subtle way to do it, but nothing really looked as if it would work. So, we decided to do it this way," Koushirou told him.
"And I am willing to risk a bet that this is why you moved out of your house, right, Tai?" Ken asked the still grinning boy.
"It is. The four of us," he said, gesturing to himself, Koushirou, Iori, and Takeru, "set up what we called 'truth day'. We all told our family and mine was the only one who really objected to it."
"Objected is hardly the word for it, Tai," Kari said. "I wish you could have seen Mum's face when Mrs. Izumi came over to collect your things; it was priceless. It looked like she became part fish. She stood there with her mouth opening and closing the entire time she was there."
The group continued their conversation for another hour or so until the topics changed to other things. Night had fallen and it was about time for the kids to start heading out. Before they left, Kari had one final thing she wanted to do. She pulled her camera out of her coat pocket and motioned over to the mistletoe hanging from the fireplace.
"Boys, how about a little kiss for the camera?"
Eyes lit up to match the tree. A quick gathering around the fireplace occurred and Kari took her position. Kari snapped the momento and smiled. The small screen showed all six of them in the best possible light. She vowed to get copies to them as soon as possible.

Alright, I know that this isn't as wowing as you were hoping for, but I'm not overly impressed either. Sorry. I still think it's cute, but it just wasn't working for me. Oh well.
I'd like to thank all of you that have been here since the beginning way back when. I hope you've enjoyed this story as much as I have. This will now go into the 'completed' file, but don't worry, I'm sure I'll dust it back off in the future. I just have a bunch of other things I want to write at the moment. In case you care, here they are, in no particular order.
1)Immersion (working title)--Takuya is destroyed in a battle. Tomoki refuses to give up on him, abandoning the others when they refuse to help him, and setting out on his own.
2)Landslide--I want to have this finished by Xmas at the latest
3)From the Simplest of Beginnings--a gift for Yoshiki (or Mr.Hida, depending on the time ^_^) that seems to be growing beyond my original expectations.
4) & 5) a few one shots. One is KouKeru and the other is WilKeru.
6) a songfic to Martina McBride's 'Concrete Angel'. that will be sad.
Oh, and in case you care, they danced to Tim McGraw's 'She's My Kind of Rain'. I heard that song a few days before I started trying to write this and it fit better than the other three songs I had picked out.
Thanks again,
energy
