Work Text:

Every Boy’s Prince Charming

Author’s Note: An alternate ending to episode 14 of Digimon Adventure 02. Inspired by comments made by Tom Gibis (Michael’s dub voice actor) during the 2010 Armageddon Expo Animation Panel. Enjoy the story and R&R.

Disclaimer: I do not own anything related to or of the Digimon series.

Pairings: Pre-slash Daisuke x Michael. Referenced one-sided (canon) Daisuke x Hikari, one-sided (canon) Miyako x Michael.

Summary:

What if Michael Barton were enamoured with Motomiya Daisuke? How would his first meetup with the Chosen Children have ended differently?

“If you’d like to go on a date sometime, I’m sure we could work it out.”

Words blend into goggledygook on Daisuke’s tongue. After Seadramon and Togemon removed the Dark Spiral from Gorimon, and Shurimon, Pegasmon, and Nefertimon removed the one controlling Digitamamon, Daisuke was itching to run off home and pester Jun, but the dashing hunk Mimi brought with her from a foreign land had to ask him out!

Worst of all, Hikari was there!

Refusal edges up to his teeth, but Michael’s been nothing but affable to them. Saved them a lot of work in the kitchen, scrubbing those dishes!

Pick any negative American stereotype. None applied to Michael.

Daisuke’s heart is sweating. His palms are beating. He can feel his heterosexuality drying up by the minute.

Having another blond, blue-eyed DigiDestined on the crew who wouldn’t put moves on his girl? It was like the non-infuriating opposite of Takeru!

Complicating the issue, if Daisuke accepted Michael’s invitation, that’d toss Takeru a legitimate reason to seek Hikari.

“A date in New York? I’ll go!” Takeru surprised mostly everyone by saying.

This guy! First, he steals his girl! Now, he’s got the Digi-Eggs to steal the hottie interested in him?

“He asked me, Takeru!”

While Daisuke chewed what he just said, Hikari and Takeru low-fived.

“Here’s my number and an international phone card. Give me a call.”

Miyako steamed. “Why aren’t any cool boys after meeeee?”

Takeru did his best not to be insulted. Iori would have too, if he were older.
