Friendship


It hurt.

They were supposed to be my friends, but they kept me in the dark. I only wanted to know what
happened to Kari like any good friend would, but they wouldn't tell me. Excusing their actions by saying I
wouldn't understand.

It hurts.

I know I'm stupid. It's something I had to admit to back in grade school. I always got the worse
grades, no matter how much I studied or how hard I tried. I'm dumb, that's all that's to it. It was one of
the reasons why I never had many friends. I'm too stupid, too loud. Even my soccer team doesn't really
like me. Ironically it's because I'm too good, I take all the fun out of the game for them so they say.

God it hurts.

It's not like I can help it. I am who I am and I can't change that. But that shouldn't matter.
Friends are supposed to like you for who you are. But they don't, do they? They only tolerate me because
I'm a Digidestined. Irony does another play. Not only am I a Digidestined, I'm the most powerful of the
five of us.

It hurts so bad.

Irony turns its single play into a double. The Digi-egg of Friendship, what a laugh. What's the
point of giving the egg of Friendship to someone with no friends? No one wants to be friends with me.
I'm a stupid annoying jerk. Maybe that's why I've never gotten it to work. Dumb egg.

Make the pain stop.

Irony is having a blast this game. It isn't pulling any punches. Someone said he wanted to be my
friend, my 'special' friend. There's only one problem.
He's the enemy.
He said he'd treat me better than the so-called friends I have now.
But he's the enemy. He said he wouldn't tease me mercilessly or make me feel worthless like
they do.
He's the enemy. He said he'd even help me understand what happened to Kari.
...the enemy.
He said...he said he wanted ME. Nobody has ever said something like that to me before. No
one has ever wanted me for anything, let alone for myself.
Enemy, he's the enemy, but...what do I have to lose?

Stop the pain.

We were friends for a while, in secret. We never discussed anything related to the Digidestined
or even the Digital world. Just two guys enjoying each other's company, the feel of skin on skin, of building
heat and passion. That's why when Ankylomon attacked Ken directly I pushed him out of the way, taking
the spiky tail in my chest.

Damn this hurts.

Silence, then Ken screamed my name, my real name. His emperor garb shatters to be replaced
by his gray school uniform, his hair back in its usual pristine condition. The light color is quickly dyed a messy
red as he pulls me away from the stunned Champion Digimon. He whispers words of love and encouragement
in my ear, telling me to live, to stay awake and live. I hug him as best I can with my limbs growing weak from
blood loss.

"Ken...no matter what...I'll always...be your friend, okay?"
"Daisuke, don't do this to me, please." Tears mix with the blood.
"Don't worry...Ken. I'll always be...with you. I won't leave you...like Osamu..." I smile, not that goofy
grin I always show off, but a real smile. "Always."
The Digi-egg of Friendship floats in the air, shining brightly, acknowledging the powerful bond
between the two boys.

Heh. That's how that egg works. I stare at it and Ken until my vision darkens, until the bright
glow has gone black, until I can't even see Ken's startling violet eyes. I exhale. Any second, I'm going
to inhale again and keep on living. Any moment now.

It doesn't hurt anymore.













*sniffles* This was my first deathfic. It wasn't intended to be one, but that's how it turned out.
Now I like Dai-chan bunches so don't get the... *sniffs* wrong... *sob* idea...! *cries*

Leave feedback please. I want to know if this fic was worth the sad images in my head.
