One Day at Shinkai’s

An Appmon fanfic

Characters: Yuujin, Kazuki (3ds game protag, as Haru/Yuujin’s son), Gatchmon

Based on this.

"Is it true that you're a robot, Mom?"

Yuujin lifted his head at his youngest son's sudden question. Shinkai Kazuki, 8 years old, and was currently in his second year in elementary school. Still too young to understand these abnormal things that differed his parents from ordinary parents. Though those abnormalities were actually not really that subtle. Like, Yuujin was 'too young' to be a mother and he was no woman either.

"Well, what makes you think of that, Kazuki?"

"Those aunties in our neighborhood said that. They said Kazuki’s mom was lucky because he would never get old and die."

Yuujin smiled at Kazuki's answer. He stopped his activity tending the roses adorning their small backyard, took off his gardening gloves, and went to sit beside his son.

"Kazuki. I’ve told you it’s not nice to overhear adult conversation, right?"

"I didn't overhear. They said it directly to me."

"Ah, I see...," Yuujin rubbed the back of his head, feeling guilty.

It's not like Haru and Yuujin wanted to keep secret from Kazuki. Their 'abnormalities' were gained through legal way after all. But still, being different was not something that can be accepted by most people. Even by the odd ones themselves. Yuujin knew that better than anyone.

As for Kazuki, indeed he was not as odd as his 'mother'. He was still a human, and still not into being a gay. The thing was, Kazuki was born in somewhat different way than any other human, which was Haru and Yuujin wanted the boy to know and understand, only when he got older enough.

"You're still not answering my question!" Kazuki demanded.

Yuujin while still not losing his smile, tried to answer.

"If you asked whether I'm a robot, then yes, I am one."

Kazuki, in spite actually having expected that answer, had his blue eyes widened.

"You sometimes see when I go to your dad's lab and stay there for hours, right? That's when I get my maintenance. He would check on me and fix me if there's something wrong."

"Really?" Kazuki got more interested. "Can I see that sometime?"

"Stop that, Kazuki. You'll only burn your eyes. It's not something a child should see."

"Gatchmon?!" Yuujin squalled, being pretty much startled by the sudden interruption.

Gatchmon, the seach app Appmon, who had claimed his position as Shinkai family's eldest son. In other words, Kazuki's big brother, despite his smaller size.

"Here. You asked me to fetch you the rose thorn stripper, right?"

"Ah..., thank you," said Yuujin, accepting it from Gatchmon.

"Hey, Gatchmon. What do you mean I should not see Mom's maintetance?" Kazuki's a smart child. Once he saw something that intrigued him, he wouldn't stop finding the answer. That part reminded Yuujin a lot of Haru.

"Because, they also do things that only adults do when the night comes."

"Gatchmon!" Yuujin failed to stop his eldest son. "We're not like that!"

Gatchmon grinned. "Haru often works and comes home late. You only have your time with him when in his lab. Do you think I don't know anything?"

"That's true, but...."

"When the night... comes?"

It's too late. Kazuki seemed to have memorized a dangerous phrase.

"W-well...," Yuujin stammered. I have to somehow straighten this out.

"Don't tell me...,” Kazuki muttered, before breaking into an exclamation. “Don't tell me, Dad must cut you in parts when he checks on you?!"

"Huh?" Yuujin and Gatchmon blinked.

"Am I right!? I saw a robot in TV being treated that way by the criminals at night!"

What kind of TV show did he see anyway!?

As Gatchmon played the straight-man in his mind, Yuujin on the contrary, felt so much relief. What Kazuki said was not entirely wrong, too. This should work out.

"Yeah, something like that, but...."

"That must hurt, right!? Mom! That must hurt, right? No wonder you always seem to be in pain after being in Dad's lab!" Kazuki suddenly stood up. "I must report Dad to the police!"

Yuujin's relief and Gatchmon's intention to tease Yuujin for being told by Kazuki 'being in pain after the maintenance', dissolved instantly.

"NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!" Yuujin and his eldest son frantically stopped the youngest son from rushing outside.

"What are you doing, reporting your own dad?!" scolded Gatchmon.

"But he hurts Mom!" Kazuki retaliated. "Bad people hurt the others. Bad people must be reported to the police!"

Gatchmon almost hit the boy if he didn't remember it's his little brother, and Haru's beloved son.

"Haru doesn't hurt him like the way you think!" Gatchmon shouted back. "He's the reason why Yuujin and I are the us right now. And for your information, Kazuki! Haru, that old man of yours, is the kindest person ever lived on this earth! He always thinks of others. He would never be rude. He won't hurt even just a frog, not alone his beloved ones!"

Gatchmon's assertiveness flinched Kazuki for a while. The young boy looked for his mother's eyes, seeking for confirmation.

"Is that true, Mom?"

As much as Kazuki's action disconserted him, Yuujin nodded in smile.

"It indeed sometimes hurts," Yuujin admitted. "But I never think that Haru hurts me. It's complicated. But if it is by the person you love, you won't find it hurt."

Kazuki finally sit back, and listened carefully. So did Gatchmon.

"Of course, this does not justify letting people hurt you, even it is your loved ones. What I'm trying to say is, Haru always does everything while considering my feeling, and of course, I also do the same for him."

"Yuujin," Gatchmon opened his mouth, but soon closed it as soon as Kazuki talked.

"But it still hurts, right?" Kazuki was still confused. "You should just refuse it."

Yuujin pretended to put a troubled face, "But... if your dad doesn't repair me, who else does? In fact, if it's not Haru, I don't think I could bear it."

"Hm...."

Kazuki was quiet now, just like the usual when he was in thought. Gatchmon, on the other hand, seemed to want to say something. But....

"We’re home!" A voice was heard from front door.

"Yuujin, I'm home, ofuu!" Another one followed.

"Welcome back, Haru, Offmon," Yuujin hurriedly welcomed the voices. He left the thorn stripper on the table, leaving Gatchmon a little upset. Didn't he ask me to fetch this thing because he wanted to gather some roses for the vase in living room?

"I'm sorry to make you do the errands on your day off," Yuujin felt some guilt to his usually busy husband.

Haru shook his head, and slipped a kiss on Yuujin's cheek. "It's okay. I don't want you to walk too far while bringing all of these, after you just broke your wrist yesterday."

Yuujin kissed him back, "Thanks for your concern. But I'm okay, really."

"Besides, I got some nice talk with Offmon today."

"You did?" Yuujin turned to his second son and patted his head. "Offmon also helped Haru, huh? Thank you, Offmon!"

"Ofu!"

"Mom, I'm hungry. Is there any snack?"

"You have finished your thinking!?" Gatchmon didn't even realize Kazuki following him and Yuujin to the living room.

"Kazuki, we're home!" Haru greeted. "Offmon and I brought ice cream for everyone!"

Kazuki didn't seem to be that interested. But he asked anyway, "Really? What flavor?"

"Hm..., there are chocolate, strawberry..."

"Hey, how about my gatchi-monaka!?"

Today too, Shinkai family had a peaceful day despite their ‘abnormalities’.
