To Protect
*~*~*~*~*
Disclaimers- I don't own Digimon, the places, the people, etc. I make no
profit from this. I only seek to gain better writing skills.
Warnings- Much squickiness. Taikari/Hikichi...'nuff said.
Comments- I don't really support incest pairings... Yeah, I can see
Taikari happening... I mean, they are just -way- too close at times.
But that doesn't mean I -like- the pairing. Any attempt to flame me
will be laughed at. Constructive criticism is welcomed with open arms and
an open mind. Please feel free to give it. There will be two
versions of this. One, a watered down lime for ff.n, and another heavy
lemon for other archives.
Dedication- To Panda (member: Pandari). Anime X-mas 2002 present.
It's all your fault I'm even thinking about writing this! >P
*~*~*~*~*
She was his little princess. Fragile and dainty looking with an almost
ladylike attitude. She had that look about her that just made you want to
protect her, to keep her from harm and hurt. Emotions like anger and
sadness and hurt just didn't belong on a face as pretty as hers. He wanted
to protect her. Always. She was his, and his alone. She was
meant to be protected only by him.
She was his little sister.
Taichi sighed as he sat on the edge of her half of the bunk bed. He
steeled himself from laughing out loud. 'Nineteen years old, in
college, and I'm still sharing a bunk bed with my little sister.' Not
that he minded it at all. Whine and complain he might, but he was, in
actuality, very grateful. He still had a viable excuse to be near her
while at home.
He smiled fondly as Hikari mumbled in her sleep and rolled over onto her side.
'At least she's finally sleeping...' Hikari had come home
hours ago, dazed and in near tears. She hadn't even heard him when he
asked what was wrong. She only sloppily kicked off her shoes, dropped her coat
and trudged into their shared room. An odd behavior for one who's always
so neat and precise as Hikari.
Worried, he followed her and found her half sprawled on her lower half, choked
sobs wrenching from her throat. Taichi half panicked. Hikari was
never one to show her deep emotions. She never truly cried. Cried
and mourned for lost lives, yes. But never for something personal.
She had always kept her problems to herself, never telling anyone.
Not even her own big brother.
So when he found his precious little sister crying uncontrollably, small body
wracking with sobs, he was, to say the least, shocked. Had he not been
friends with two other overly emotional girls -minus Sora; his best friend
never showed emotion, just as Hikari never did- he would have fled the room
quietly and pretended he had seen nothing. But this was -his- little
sister. And he was used to emotional female outbursts. Not from
Hikari of course. But that didn't matter. All that mattered was
consoling Hikari.
And he had done just that. He had sat on her bed, holding her as he had
done many times before when she had been sick or sad. Gently pushing her
hair away from her tear soaked face. Murmuring soothing words even though
he had no idea what the actual problem was.
And just as quickly as it started, it stopped. Her tears were gone, her
sobs and hiccups ceased. And she was asleep, gently cradled in his arms
and fast asleep. He had laid her down on her bed and covered her with her
blanket and stayed there, keeping a silent vigil over his broken little
princess. When she awoke, he'd ask her what had happened. But until
then...
Gently, he reached out and brushed back a few stray strands of light brown
hair. It was moments like these that all the whining and complaining had
no meaning. To be able to sit and watch her, unguarded and not having to
worry about the looks he'd receive for looking so fondly, so -lovingly- upon
his little sister. His own flesh and blood. If anyone knew...if -she-
knew...
"When did you grow up?" he asked quietly to her peaceful, petit face.
"When did you notice?" Came back the murmured reply. Startled,
not expecting to be answered, his hand froze on her cheek.
"You're awake?" He squeaked. She nodded in reply.
"I was just thinking."
"About what happened?" Another nod. "What did
happen?" Coming to his senses, Taichi pulled back his hand and let
it drop in his lap. Silence met his question as Hikari turned her head
away from him. She pondered for a moment before opening her mouth to
speak quietly.
"Onii-chan? When you look at Yamato and Takeru's relationship, you
know, how much Yamato protects Takeru and how much they care for each other...
Would you be at all surprised if they became more than that?"
"Like...lovers, you mean?"
"Yeah."
Taichi shook his head. "No, not really. They have a deep
bond." 'Though not as deep as ours.' He thought with
great pride.
"And that doesn't bother youot;uot;
"What? That they'd be gay? No. Beside the fact that Yamato's
already gay..."
Hikari chuckled. "No! Not that! I meant that, it wouldn't
bother you that they're brothers and would be in an intimate
relationship?" Hikari said with a little rosy blush spreading over
her cheeks.
"No. Although, I think Jyou may put up some fight if Takeru tried to
take Yamato away." The image of the younger blonde and the oldest
Chosen fighting over the popular musician brought a smile to both siblings.
"I think I'd pay to see that..." Hikari laughed, which made Taichi
smile even more. He was making her smile and laugh. Even if it was
at the expense of their friends love lives.
Hikari sobered as she posed her next question though. "But...it
wouldn't be normal, would it?"
"Hikari... When we were little, we got pulled into another world where
plants and animals and giant teddy bears talked to us and tried to kill us.
I think we're allowed to step out of the norm."
"So...you -wouldn't- be bothered by it?"
"No."
"What if it were Miyako and one of her sisters or brother?"
Taichi shook his head no. "Jyou and Shin or Shuu?"
Another shake. "Daisuke and Jun?"
"Ack! Please don't put that mental image in my head? Anything
with Jun...ugh!"
"Yamato's paranoia and general distaste for her rubbed off on you?"
"Yeah. Plus, last time I checked, you were going out with Daisuke.
It's been what, two years?" Hikari nonchalantly shrugged her
shoulders, once again avoiding eye contact. "Is that what was wrong
earlier?" She nodded her head. "What happened?"
"We broke up." She began quietly, almost emotionlessly.
"We just found out we had more differences than we thought."
Taichi started to reply, but got cut off as Hikari continued in a lighter
tone. "It's getting late. Maybe we should get some sleep, hm?"
Taichi sighed, but agreed. After getting ready, he climbed the ladder to
his half and lay down. Snuggling under his blankets, he stared up at the
ceiling. Sleep would be unreachable for some time.
"Onii-chan?" Came the soft voice from below him a few minutes
later.
"Yeah?"
Hikari paused, then asked quietly, almost too low to hear. Taichi had to
strain his ears in order to hear her. "What if it was us?
Would you still be bothered?"
Taichi answered back, just as quietly. "No." Oh yes,
sleep was definitely not coming any time soon.
