Acceptance

Jun Motomiya stared at her younger goggle-head brother. He had barely touched his dinner. Their parents were glancing at him worriedly, also. The youngest Motomiya always devoured--no, inhaled-- his food in three seconds. His partner digimon, Demiveemon, was also staring at the maroon-haired soccer player worriedly. "May I be excused?" asked Davis, politely. His mother nodded distractedly. Davis was basically never polite and tactful. Davis pushed off the table and got up from his seat. He headed for his room, where he would wallow in self-pity, Demiveemon tagging along. "Jun," Mr. Motomiya didn't even need to say anything as his daughter was already out of her seat and at his son's bedroom door. She knocked on the door. "Davis, are you alright?" she asked, coming in. She was shocked to find Davis lying on his bed and staring at the ceiling. Demiveemon was curled up and asleep on the head of his partner as an attempt to comfort him. Jun could tell it wasn't very effective. "My dream girl is dating T.K." whimpered Davis. Jun understood immediately. Davis had been crushing on his mentor's, Tai Kamiya's, younger sister, Kari, ever since he met her. But it was clear that he never even had a chance. Kari only seemed to have eyes for her childhood friend, T.K. Takaishi, ever since he moved back from France. Jun had heard from her friend Momoe, who heard it from her younger sister, Yolei Inoue, Kari's best friend after T.K., that when he came back, it was as if they had never left. Jun had met the pair and they seemed inseparable and very kind. It was clear to Jun that T.K. thought of Davis as a close friend, although Davis thought him as a rival, and that Kari assumed that Davis' crush on her was nothing but a mere infatuation. Those two were perfect for each other, and Jun had thought Davis' crush was just an infatuation... Until she saw the crushed and broken Davis before her. She realized that Davis' supposed infatuation was... Unrequited love. A crush or and infatuation wasn't supposed the break someone like it broke Davis. But Jun knew what the cure was for the sickness Davis had. Good sisterly advice and time. That was the cure for a broken heart. "Davis," said Jun, softly. "I'm happy for them, Jun," said Davis. "But I didn't think it would hurt this much." It was then when Jun realized that Davis had become a lot more understanding ever since the Digital World. "I think I'm in love her," Davis whispered, hoarsely, voice cracking. "But I don't want to betray my friend like that." Okay, scratch that, Jun thought. He doesn't need any advice, he needs sisterly encouragement. "Davis," Davis looked up at Jun expectantly. "I came in here to give you advice which I now clearly see you don't need. But, you should know, she was your first love, and your first love is always the hardest to get over. It was hard for me to get over Matt. But... Then again, I didn't know him as well as you did with Kari." "Jun," whined Davis. Jun stopped once she realized she wasn't making him feel any better. "Look, Kari is a sweet girl, and I know she and T.K. would break up with each other because it made you feel bad because they care about you so much." said Jun. "Am I a bad person for wanting that to happen just a tiny bit?" asked Davis. "That tiny part of you is called Temptation," warned Jun. "I know you'll feel awful if that does happen, because you care for them as much as they care for you. How do I know that? It's because my little brother is a great person! Anyways, I know you'll find the right girl for you, someday. And she will make your heart beat like it does around Kari and vice-versa! There's someone for everyone, you just haven't found your one." Davis cracked a small, reassuring smile. "Thanks, Jun," thanked Davis. "I think you're a great sister, even though I never really show it. But... When will the hurt disappear?" "It won't." replied Jun. "You will always feel the pain of your first heartbreak. It will just lessen over the years. But there are some times when you forget about the pain and just feel the moment. Especially when you've found your one." "Thanks, Jun." thanked Davis, once more. "I feel a lot better now." Jun smiled. "Now come on out and eat your dinner." Davis got out and inhaled his food in three seconds. Jun grinned at her little brother and Davis grinned back. He's even more mature than I was when I got my first heartbreak when Matt started to go out with that girl. thought Jun. I'm proud of you, little brother. So proud.
