Closet Kiss

Older Takaishi Takeru x Male Reader

Prompt - First Kiss

This was not how Takeru thought he would spend his weekend.

It had started out fine. Daisuke wanted everyone to hang out and everyone agreed. So you all gathered at Daisuke’s house for a sleepover.

It started fine, eating, talking, games, yelling, until Daisuke wanted to play a game. The game, truth or dare, nothing out of the ordinary. It was fun too.

Daisuke had to shower with his clothes on, Miyako had to drink hot sauce, Hikari had to do a handstand for as long as possible.

So it was all fun and games till Takeru got picked.

He picked dare and Miyako had dared Takeru to spend seven minutes with you in a closet. Takeru glared at Miyako and she looked back with a knowing and teasing look.

She knew Takeru had a crush on you, and she was milking it.

At first Takeru declined, but somehow he still ended up in a closet with you. It was small and clothes were everywhere so you and Takeru were pressed against each other.

Takeru tried to keep your gaze away from you, but that was hard. Takeru could see you though the light coming in through the crack in the door.

You had showered about an hour ago, so your hair looked perfect. Your eyes reflected the small amount of light. “Why did Miyako look at you like that?” You asked and Takeru looked away from you.

A slight blush forming on his face, Takeru hoped you couldn’t see it. Takeru knew why, Miyako, and maybe a few others, were trying to help Takeru confess to you.

Takeru was a bit too scared to, what if you didn’t like him. Did you even like guys? Takeru knew he was gay, but did you like guys, did you like him?

Takeru might have flirted with you a bit, but nothing ever came from it. So now your friends have taken things into their hands. “I don’t know”, Takeru said quietly.

You made a noise and leaned back.

You couldn’t go far, but Takeru felt his heart hurt a bit at the action. Were you angry that you were here? It was quiet for the next few minutes till you leaned closer to Takeru.

“You know, you're really pretty”, you said, making Takeru blush and turn his head to you. “I’ve never noticed before, but now that I’m seeing you close, you look good”, you leaned back forward and never took your eyes off Takeru.

Takeru didn’t really know what to say, but his palms got sweaty and his heart beat got faster. “You look good too”, Takeru said with a dry throat. You smirked, “really”, you asked in a teasing tone

Takeru nodded, which made your smirk turn to a smile. “I think I know why Miyako looked at you like that”, you said and that made Takeru nervous.

“I thought it was true, but now I’m sure”, this confused Takeru. You moved forward, your face was closer to Takeru. Your nose brushed against Takeru’s and you both shared the air in the closet.

“You like me”, you said, your breath ghosting over Takeru’s lips. Takeru blushed, his heart beat going even faster. You stared into Takeru's eyes and he started back.

Takeru noticed your eyes glance at his lips and Takeru would be lying if his eyes didn’t glance at your lips. You smirked and leaned forward, still staring at Takeru's lips.

"Can I kiss you?" You asked.

Takeru flushed and started to stutter. "but where friends", Takeru stuttered out, making you lean closer. "Come on", your breathe ghosted over Takeru's lips.

"A kiss won't ruin our friendship", you said, your breathe still ghosting Takeru's lips. Takeru whined at the feeling of your breath on his lips. "Okay', Takeru said.

"Please kiss me", Takeru whined out.

You smiled and pressed your lips on Takeru's. Takeru let out a moan as you kissed him, his arms going to wrap around your neck. Your arms went to Takeru’s waist, you pulled him closer to you.

The kiss was soft and quick. You lead the kiss with care a passion. Takeru loved it. You and Takeru kissed till Takeru pulled away, breathing heavily from the kiss. You still held Takeru, your thumb rubbing circles on Takeru’s waist.

Takeru kept his eyes closed for a few seconds before he opened them. Takeru looked up at you to see that you were already looking at him. Takeru could tell that you were happy, your eyes showed it.

“Do you like me?” Takeru asked breathlessly. You let out a little laugh, “of course, why do you think I kissed you”, you said. Making Takeru realize how stupid of a question that was.

“How did you know I liked you?” Takeru asked, his voice quiet. You looked up, “I mean, you flirt with me almost every day, plus, Hikari said somethings that helped me realize that I liked you”, Takeru was going to have to thank Hikari.

Takeru nodded and looked back down. Takeru smiled and hugged you. You hugged Takeru back, placing a kiss on Takeru’s head. Takeru wanted to stay like that forever but the doors to the closest open.

“Times up!” Miyako yelled. When Takeru looked around he saw that everyone had a smile on their face. Like they knew that happened. Except for Daisuke, he was pouting while Ken tried to cheer him up.

You let go of Takeru and walked out of the closet. But not before whispering something in Takeru’s ear. “We’ll finish this later”, you said with a wink and a smirk.

Takeru blushed, well, now everyone knows what happened in the closet.

(preview) coincidences and cosmic signs

OK, so here's the thing, the other day I was going through my WIP files (of which there are SO MANY) and I noticed that I never, not once, have ever written anything happy about this pair ever, even though they are probably my favourite OTP of all time. While chatting with @piedrpiper, I noticed that I often don't even view them as a happy couple, despite wanting Toei desperately to let them canonically smoosh their faces together and kiss in some media where I can see it.

So I'm challenging myself to write a happy, comedic Takeru/Hikari fic. I haven't written anything happy in years and I haven't written anything comedic in even longer, so a challenge this is. So I'm posting a little preview cause I unabashedly need a little encouragement. Pls. :(

IDK how long this will be or even what it really WILL be, but here it is so far. Title is from 'Serendipity' by Laufey, which is a gorgeous, gorgeous song I encourage you all to listen to.

There's no rulebook for falling in love with your best friend. Takeru and Hikari are learning this the hard way.

x x x

There’s no rulebook for falling in love with your best friend. No guidelines, no best-seller, no simple Google search that can explain how to navigate it in three easy steps.  There’s only works of fiction that make it look all too easy, with everything uncomplicated and clean, tied up in a neat bow by the end of the story. Happy endings, one after another, the friends to lovers trope never sees a broken heart. 

But in reality, there’s reams of Reddit threads and personal blogs showing the mixed results that only trying to turn a friendship into something more can wield. There’s plenty of broken hearts there; in the short, preliminary research that he has done, Takeru has found there are more unhappy endings than there are happy endings in this regard. Someone always doesn’t feel the same way and then the friendship? Ruined. 

It was anxiety inducing to read about, which was what had brought him to his current state of inaction. 

Though, he was finding this to also be miserable. 

Takeru groaned, leaning against the checkout counter at Ai-Mart, fixing his gaze sadly on the handful of nikuman still sitting in the glass display. 

From behind the counter, Miyako looked up from her text book and raised an eyebrow. “What’s wrong with you?” 

It was a Wednesday evening and like many evenings, instead of going home to the apartment he shared with his mother, Takeru decided to go pay Miyako a visit at her family’s Ai-Mart. She often loudly complained about how boring evening shifts were - how busy was a conbini in Odaiba really going to get on a weekday? So Takeru, who would talk to a wall if it could talk back, would frequently visit her while she worked (work was a loose term - she mostly just studied and rang through the odd customer), using Miyako as a sounding board for whatever was on his mind. 

Given that Miyako considered Takeru her third least annoying male friend, she didn’t mind the visits, though she tuned him out at least some of the time. It beat being alone and bored. 

Tonight was one such evening, but unlike their usual discussion topics, (pros and cons about whether or not Miyako should go back to Spain, a detailed plot summary of whatever book Takeru was reading, and often a heated debate around whether or not Takeru could give Miyako a ride to Ken’s place after this and if he did, what food would she give him for free?) Takeru found himself in a rather melancholy mood. 

Sighing heavily, Takeru placed a finger on the glass, tracing the shape of one especially lonely looking nikuman. “Miyako-san, I’m going to confess something to you, but you can’t make a big deal out of it, okay? I just really need someone to talk to.”

Miyako stood a little straighter, though her hand still remained clutching her book, poised to turn the page. “Um, okay. Again, what’s up?” 

“I’m in love with Hikari-chan,” he said, drawing a sad face over the nikuman. He wondered if it was as sad as he was - it must be, knowing that it was going to come to an untimely end, first getting ripped to shreds by someone’s teeth and then getting boiled alive in stomach acid. 

Being in love, Takeru was finding, was awful. Sure, he had probably been some type of in love with Hikari for almost ten years, but he kind of thought he would get over it. Yet here he was at 23, decidedly not over it and definitely not with Hikari and all of that was making him very miserable. 

He had to let it out. He wasn’t going to tell Yamato (what did Mr. Wife’d Up Since He Was 14 know about unrequited love?) and he certainly wasn’t going to talk to Daisuke, Ken, or Iori, all of whom were equal shades of busy or would mock him relentlessly. 

Which left Miyako, who, trapped behind the counter of Ai-Mart, really had no choice but to listen to his sob story. 

“Oh,” Miyako responded, blinking. “That’s all?”

Takeru stiffened, eyes darting away from the bread. “What do you mean that’s all?”

Rolling her eyes, Miyako folded her arms. “I mean that’s all as in obviously you’re in love with Hikari. Everyone knows that.”

“Everyone?!” Takeru yelped. “What do you mean everyone?!”

“I mean everyone,” Miyako said matter of factly. “Our entire friend group. Hey, are you drawing faces on the nikuman again?”

“No,” Takeru dropped his hand. “And what do you mean everyone?” 

Circling around the counter, Miyako sighed. “Takeru-kun, I mean that everyone in our friend group knows you’re in love with her cause it’s obvious. It’s been obvious since you were like, seventeen. You just have to watch you two interact for more than five minutes and see how you look at her to notice it.” Coming to a stop beside him, she bent over and peered at the glass. “You liar, you were drawing faces on the nikuman! Stop doing that! Someone complained last time and said this store was creeping him out.” 

“Sorry,” Takeru said, distracted. “How do I look at her?”

Miyako turned to him, her face suddenly serious. She smiled softly. 

“You look at her like she’s special. Like you could be in a room with every single person you’ve ever met in your life and you would look for her first.”

Instantly, Takeru felt his face flush. “Um, I think, well, that’s quite the description Miyako-san, I don’t know if it is that deep, I—”

“Oh, stop, seriously,” Miyako waved her hand, turning to head back to the other side of the counter. “It’s so obnoxious to hear men try to downplay their feelings. Just own it. You’re head over heels for her. You’d rip worlds apart for her.”

Takeru swallowed, flushing deeper. “I mean, technically I kind of have.” 

“I know,” Miyako stationed herself beside the register and flipped her book closed. “I heard all about it. That’s why I said it. Now. What do you want to do about it?” 

A beat passed between them before Takeru slumped back against the counter. “I don’t know.”

“What do you mean you don’t know?!”

“I mean I don’t know!” Takeru snapped. “I have no idea how to navigate this. I’ve tried Googling. I’ve tried reading. I even considered talking to my brother, but that would be no help at all cause he and Sora got together so young and have stayed together for so long, so what does he really know about dating? And all of the advice online is so mixed and I just truly have no idea where to even start.”

Miyako pursed her lips. “You want to know what I think you should do?” 

Takeru nodded, eagerly. “Yes, please.”

“I think you should tell her.”

Takeru groaned. “Miyako-san, I can’t just tell her. Are you crazy?”

“No!” She narrowed her eyes. “And I resent the question. Just tell her how you feel, you idiot!”

“I can’t just tell her how I feel,” Takeru said slowly, pointedly. “What if she doesn’t feel the same? I could ruin our friendship.”

Miyako shook her head. “You’re not going to ruin your friendship. Hikari is very understanding, very forgiving.”

Takeru nodded. “She is - wait. Are you saying that she’s going to reject me?”

List of things i thought for ages and got confirmed by new (or old) 02/Kizuna/02TB material or collabs:

Daisuke does research by traveling around Japan and trying every ramen dish in order to build his unique and special recipe → confirmed by Kizuna, but extended to worldwide research instead!

Works at Chef Digitamamon's restaurant in order to train his skills → quite close, in 02TB he works at Yamatoya Ramen shop as part-time job (possibly related to his culinary classes?) EDIT: In an old 02 material there's a small dialogue with Epilogue setting where V-mon comments about Daisuke having a Digitamamon teacher before!!

Daisuke does food experiments in order to find his unique ramen special recipe → both HEY-rasshai! and DigiFes' evening show skit confirms that.

Daisuke can cook different things, also bakes stuff because it's fun → Recent Karatez X 02TB collab has him as a pâtissier (alongside with Rui, Miyako and Takeru) and there's a big cake behind him in the pic.

I'm happy my cooking headcanons are getting more and more validated by canon 😭💙

the gift of communication

happy holidays to you, dear @citrus-cactus. i was your secret santa and i am very sorry this is so late. i was supposed to post this after one more check once i arrived but my parents told me that there was no need to bring my laptop, so here i am posting it using my ipad and i hope it still looks okay!

anyways, backstory aside, i do hope you enjoy this little thing i wrote! and i'm really sorry if this isn't what you had in mind. i had to re-watch some hurricane touchdown scenes to get wallace's character as good as i could, i would've watched the movie if i had the time so i super apologize if this isn't to your liking. i had a lot of fun writing it and i would really love to know your thoughts if you get the chance to give them :)

just a few notes in case you want to run ; editing mistakes here or there [there better not be…] // timeline is more on adventure 02 in between the ending and epilogue // this is not set in the same world as my other fics due to inspiration reasons // i will post this on ao3 soon // i tried my best to give the digimon feel and i think I achieved it, so…

…without further ado, i present to you this little fic. enjoy! have a merry christmas and a happy new year! 🥰

the gift of communication | main characters ; wallace, terriermon, lopmon, daisuke motomiya | pairings ; slight wallace x daisuke (if you squint), mentioned takeru x hikari, mentioned taichi x sora, mentioned yamato x mimi | genre ; friendship | word count ; 3,598 | rating ; g

Terriermon and Lopmon were enjoying the company of their fellow digimons. They told each other stories, laughed, and even played a little. At some point, they fell asleep next to each other after consuming most of the food and drinks that Miyako had brought for them for the day. Terriermon had his head rested against Chibimon who was snoring softly while Lopmon was a few inches away from them.

The Chosen Children were gathered around in a circle, sans Ken who had told them that he would be late but promised to come as soon as he could. He mentioned something about helping his mom with some gift-giving in an orphanage.

“So, Wallace,” Daisuke started, his head turned to him. “Since when did you like coming here to Japan?” It made him suspicious as he remembered that Wallace had kissed Hikari once. He kissed her cheek, and Miyako’s as well, but it was still a kiss. “Are you here for anyone in particular?” But Daisuke also knew he was in denial about the fact that Hikari and Takeru had had some sort of unspoken romantic feelings for one another. “I heard there are more women in New York.” 

Wallace shrugged, simply ignoring Daisuke’s obvious accusations. “It’s a nice place to be in during the holidays. The spirit of Christmas is really taken seriously. Back in New York, people tend to be busy and get caught up with one another.”

“Looks like New York isn’t as cool as people say it is,” Iori said. “I’ve always thought it was a white Christmas there.”

Wallace nodded. “It sounds nice and it looks nice when you see it on tv and the movies but it isn’t spectacular or anything.”

“Nothing for you is ever spectacular,” Daisuke muttered. This made Hikari nudge him without much force and in turn made Takeru chuckle. “Either way, I’m glad you're here, Wallace. It’s been a while and I actually do miss you.”

Wallace’s eyes widened and his eyebrows raised. “You miss me?” he echoed. For him, that was a first for someone. “You. Miss me? You?”

“Am I not allowed to?” Daisuke raised an eyebrow.

Wallace smirked.

Daisuke narrowed his eyes. “Don’t push it.”

Miyako laughed. “Don’t mind him, Daisuke. It’s just Wallace being Wallace.”

“You don’t know much about me,” the American-raised boy defended. It was an absolute surprise to hear that from someone he had not had much interaction with in a while. “How could you say that?”

“We know enough,” Takeru spoke. “Like how you consider us as your friends. After all, you accepted our invitation to this gathering.”

Wallace did not reply. His mind was wondering how this group of friends suddenly thought that they were somehow close. It was not as if he did not like the group, he liked them a lot, especially after they helped him with Kokomon. But he needed to figure out how to handle this.

Hikari smiled at him. “Onee-san is throwing a surprise birthday party for Sora-san the day after tomorrow. You should go, it’d be really fun. We’ll be there, and I’m sure Terriermon and Lopmon would enjoy the company of being with more of their friends.”

“I’ll think about it,” he replied, still a little lost in thought. This invitation to her future sister-in-law’s surprise birthday party was, for him, a big step. He had not known much about them, yet they were thinking highly of him here.

What went into his head when he called Daisuke Motomiya yesterday to tell him that he was in the country, visiting for the holiday and seeing the sights with his mom.

He had called his home’s telephone, which made him feel anxious because he was not so sure what to say if it had been someone else who would answer. Luckily, it was Daisuke who took the call right away.

Was it because he was indebted? Because they helped him get Kokomon back? He did not think so, it could be more than that.

Just then, the door of Daisuke’s room opened and Ken appeared with Wormmom beside him. “I’m sorry for being late,” he said, bowing.

“Ken!” Miyako grinned. “The food’s almost gone, help yourself to what’s left, Wormmon.”

Ken chuckled nervously. “I’m sorry, Wormmon. I’m sure there’s still some good food somewhere there.”

“Of course! I always choose the best of the best,” Miyako said proudly.

Wallace watched as Ken walked from the door and sat down in between Miyako and Iori. They had briefed him of the former Digimon Kaiser. He felt the anger boil inside him as they told him the story, how could someone do that to digimons?

But they had assured him that Ken had changed and was very much on their side. He was a little skeptical, and truth be told he still was, but he told himself to watch out for Ken before he could make his final judgment.

“Hello,” Ken greeted. “You must be Wallace.”

He nodded. “Yeah. And you’re Ken, right? Ken Ichijouji?”

Ken nodded. “It’s a pleasure to meet you,” he said, raising his hand.

Wallace blinked a few times before shaking his hand. “And it’s great to finally meet you.”

“Ken!” Wormmom called him. “This is Terriermon and Lopmon!”

The group all turned back. Ken had a smile on his face. “I hope Wormmon treats you well.”

“Hey!”

Everyone laughed.

Iori said, “Try the new chocolate drink, Wormmon. I told Armadimon to hide one for you.”

“Here it is!” Armadimon held up the box.

“Thank you, Iori and Armadimon,” Wormmon said happily as he began to consume the drink.

Wallace watched as they looked at the worm-like digimon drink. Despite what had happened before, they welcomed Ken with open arms. It might take a while but he hoped he would fully forgive Ken and replace the thought of the poor digimons with happier faces. It sounded easier in thought but perhaps interacting with him more will be good for them both.

“This is so good, Miyako!” Wormmon exclaimed. He then dug into some snacks. “It's a good thing I didn’t eat before coming here.”

Wallace laughed. “That’s true, the food you brought really did make me feel full.”

Miyako grinned again. “I told you all! Wallace does like Japanese food.”

“Then I’m sure you’ll like the food that will be prepared for the party,” Hikari stated, smiling. “Please come.”

“I’ll think about it,” he repeated. But to be honest, he was very keen on going. “I’ll have to ask Terriermon and Lopmon first,” he added. “And my mom, of course.”

“Yes!” Terriermon and Lopmon shouted at the same time.

Hikari giggled. “I hope your mom says yes, Wallace.”

‘I hope so, too,’ he thought. He smiled at them. “Yeah, let’s see.” 

On the way back to the hotel, Wallace carried Lopmon as Terriermon sat on his favorite spot, Wallace’s head. Wallace had not spoken to either of them as they walked. This did not go unnoticed by his digimon partners.

Both Terriermon and Lopmon were looking at their human partner, then they would look at each other, then back at Wallace, and then make eye contact again, and the cycle repeated a few more times before both sighed.

“What’s got you thinking?” Lopmon asked, looking up at his partner. He touched his cheek and patted it a few times. “You’ve been quiet since we left Daisuke’s house.” He tilted his head. “Don’t tell me you didn’t have fun, Wallace. I know you did, everyone could see it.”

Wallace sighed and looked down at the brown digimon. “I’m just wondering about the party they invited me to. Invited us to.”

“What about it?” Terriermon questioned. “You want to go, don’t you? I saw the way you smiled, you seem excited about it.”

“I do,” he admitted. “I do want to go and it does seem pretty exciting.” But as they left the Motomiya residence, he had a sudden reflection about the other Chosen Children. “But what about the others? I don’t know much about them, they don’t know much about me. I’ll feel left out.” He was never really scared of being alone, but he found this situation different. Maybe because they all had something in common. “I don’t think it’d be fun if that was the case.”

Terriermon and Lopmon looked at each other.

“We’re sure Daisuke won’t leave you alone,” Terriermon said. “And neither will the others.”

“You can’t be sure,” Wallace said.

“Sure we’re sure,” Lopmon said. “They like you, Wallace. They won’t let you feel left out. I’m sure they’ll even introduce you to the others.”

Wallace bit his bottom lip. “I’ll ask Mom if we can go. It won’t be until the day after tomorrow, I don’t think it’ll be too sudden.”

“And besides, your mom will be happy you have friends here,” Lopmon added and Terriermon nodded in agreement.

That made Wallace smile. “Yeah, I think she will be.”

“Cheer up, Wallace.” Terriermon smiled. “I’m sure everyone will be glad if you go.”

He nodded. “Let’s go ask Mom then.”

Both Terriermon and Lopmon grinned. “Yay!” they exclaimed.

“You two do seem so excited about this,” Wallace said, chuckling.

“We want to see you happy,” Lopmon told him. “And we’re glad that you have friends here.”

Wallace smiled and nodded. Then, it dawned on him that in a few days, before Christmas day, he would have to leave the country and head back to New York. He had not told them this—they had not asked—but he would have to soon and it made him feel sad knowing that he would leave them behind. “Just when things were brightening up,” he murmured.

“What was that?” the two digimons asked in unison. “What did you say?”

Wallace shook his head. “It’s not something I want to talk about right now, and I don’t want to think about it yet either. Let’s just enjoy the rest of our stay here while we can. Japan is a nice place, let’s not ruin the vacation. Okay?”

The two digimons looked at each other for a few seconds before nodding as they shifted their eyes to Wallace. “Okay.”

As Wallace and the twins expected, his mother was very happy that he had made friends. “I didn’t expect this,” she admitted.

“They’re the same friends I told you about before,” he said. “I…missed them.”

“Is that why you wanted to come here for the holiday?”

Wallace nodded slowly.

His mother grinned. “I’m glad you’re finally letting yourself out there.” Then she tilted her head. “But how did you find them?”

“I asked for help from Mimi-san,” he answered. “You remember her.”

“Oh yes, that pretty girl you met back home.” She smiled.

“She’s in a relationship,” he immediately said, knowing where that smile was headed.

She giggled. “Alright then. When is the party again?”

“The day after tomorrow,” he replied. “A lot of people will be there. My friends and their older brothers and their friends as well. And Terriermon and Lopmon’s friends, too.”

“My, isn’t that a big party,” his mother said. “And you don’t know the others?” Wallace shook his head. “You won’t feel out of place?” Again, he shook his head. “You won’t be in the corner alone?” He let out a soft chuckle before shaking his head once more. He was suddenly so sure, surprisingly, that he would not be left alone by the group. Terriermon and Lopmon really do have an effect on him. “But you’ll have fun, won’t you?”

“I will,” he assured. “I know I will.” He knew very well that he would have a lot of fun. ‘I know I will,’ he repeated in his head. ‘I know I will.’

“That’s good. That’s all I needed to hear.” His mom grinned. “So what’s the theme? What will you wear? We’ll need to make a good impression on them. I know how you can be, Wallace.”

He rolled his eyes. “It’s like you have no faith in me.” His mother frowned. “I don’t know much. I’ll call Daisuke and ask for more information.”

“Okay. But remember to just tell me if you need anything. Anything at all.”

“Yes, Mom.” He smiled.”You’re just as excited as Terriermon and Lopmon.”

“We’re just very happy for you, Wallace.” His mother leaned to kiss his forehead. “My sweet boy, I’m really happy for you.”

“Thanks, Mom.”

When she straightened her body, she added, “I would very much like to meet your friends one day. Maybe invite them after the party. Perhaps the next day or the day after that?”

Wallace nodded. “Yeah, I’ll ask them. Will you be cooking?” He had always loved his mom’s cooking and was very proud of how others liked them as well.

“Of course, I need to make a good impression on them, too.”

They both laughed.

The day of the party had arrived and Wallace was quite nervous about it. He had kept himself composed and ready for the event the past day but he did not think about what would happen as he was on the way to the Takenouchi residence.

“Aren’t you excited?” Terriermon asked cheerily.

“I am!” Lopmon answered. “What about you, Wallace?”

Wallace put on a smile. “I am. I am excited. But I’m a little nervous, but I guess that’s a normal thing to feel when you’re about to meet a bunch of new people.”

Lopmon nodded. “Don’t worry, you’ve got us. We can leave anytime you want.”

“Thanks, guys.”

They continued to walk and then finally arrived at the condominium. As they entered, having made sure that Terriermon and Lopmon had returned to playing as stuffed animals, he walked to the receptionist and informed them that he was there for the surprise party in the apartment of the Takenouchis.

Just as the receptionist gave him the floor and room number, an unfamiliar voice called his name. “Wallace?”

He turned around and recognized the man in front of him. “Koushiro.”

The redhead smiled at him, his digimon partner in his arms. “That’s me.” He walked closer to Wallace and stopped just a few inches away from him. “Takeru-kun said you would come.”

“I was a little hesitant,” he lied, not wanting to sound too eager. “But I thought it would be fun to make new friends and, you know, hang out with them.”

“I’m glad you think so. I’m sure Taichi-san and the others would love to meet you. Mimi-chan is here already. I know you two are acquainted with one another.”

“Yes,” he said. “We met in New York one time, she recognized my partners.”

Koushiro nodded. “This is Tentomon.” Then he paused. “Let’s get going,” he said as he looked around the lobby. There were not many people but they still had to be careful.

The two, with their partners, rode the elevator going up. Wallace was getting a little more nervous now. He got a warm welcome from Koushiro, yes, but what about the others?

‘What’s got you hot and bothered by this, Wallace?’ he questioned himself. ‘This shouldn’t keep you on your toes.’

“They’re really nice,” Koushiro said, as if reading his mind. “My friends are really nice. You don’t have to worry about them. Not even Yamato-san can ruin your mood.”

“What do you mean?”

Koushiro smiled. “He’s been a handful before, but he’s become very mellow over the past few years. He smiles a lot more, too, ever since he started dating Mimi-chan.”

Wallace looked at him.

“I didn’t read your mind, if that’s what you’re thinking,” Koushiro added with a soft chuckle. “I just saw it in your body language.”

Wallace raised his eyebrows. He was always so calm, not once had he shown people his true thoughts and feelings. How did Koushiro know about this?

“I was like you before, back when I was young. Even before I met Taichi-san and the others. I hid myself behind my laptop, not once showing emotions. But when I started hanging out with them…it felt good, it felt nice. I felt like I belonged. That’s how great they are.” Koushiro looked at him. “Chosen Child or not, they’re nothing to be afraid of.”

Wallace grinned. “Thank you.”

They reached their floor and they quickly walked to the apartment. Not everyone was there yet but when Daisuke saw that Wallace had arrived, he grinned and walked over to him. “You came! You’re here!” 

Terriermon and Lopmon grinned as well. “Are the others here, too?” Terriermon asked.

“Of course,” Daisuke answered. “They’re at the back.”

Terriermon and Lopmon leaped from Wallace’s arms and ran down the hallway.

“They’re excited,” Koushiro said as he let Tentomon fly away. “I’ll catch up with you guys later.”

Wallace gave him a nod while Daisuke’s eyes followed Koushiro’s steps. When he was in the kitchen, Daisuke grabbed Wallace’s wrist and dragged him to the living room. “You have to meet Taichi-san!”

Wallace’s heartbeat raced. He was about to meet the highly talked about Taichi Yagami.

They stopped in front of a young man whom Wallace knew all too well just basing it on pictures. “Taichi-san!” Daisuke greeted. Taichi looked back and gave Daisuke a questioning look before looking at Wallace. “Taichi-san, this is Wallace.”

“Oh, so you’re the Wallace Hikari-chan talked about.” He raised his hand and said, “Taichi.”

“It’s so great to finally meet you.”

Meanwhile, in the background, they ignored Daisuke’s question about Hikari talking about Wallace to her older brother.

“Sora will be here soon, I suggest you find a place to hide. Daisuke can lead you around. I’ll get to know you more later, alright?”

Wallace nodded. “Okay.”

Daisuke narrowed his eyes. “Hikari-chan talks about you.”

Wallace could not help but laugh. “Let’s find a place now. As Taichi said, Sora will be here soon.”

The surprise party was a success. Sora arrived with her mom and was shocked to see her friends surrounding her and shouting “happy birthday”.

Sora’s eyes teared up but she was smiling from ear to ear. “And I wonder who came up with the idea,” she said, giggling.

Taichi went up to her and intertwined his fingers with hers. “Take a wild guess.”

She giggled some more and gave her fiancé a kiss and everyone clapped. Then, Sora went over to hug and thank everyone in the room, including Wallace.

“It’s very nice to meet you,” she said when she stopped over to hug and thank him. “I’ve heard good things about you.”

For some reason, that made Wallace’s cheek turn pink. “I hope so.”

Sora smiled.

The party was still in full swing—that is, everyone was chatting with each other and the food and drinks needed refilling—when Wallace headed over to the balcony for some fresh air. He was just overwhelmed with how friendly the others were, how they welcomed him with open arms, and how comfortable he was with them. He hated that he would be leaving soon.

He has instructed Terriermon and Lopmon to play with the other digimons as he wanted to be alone for a while. The twin digimons seemed to have sensed it as they did not object to the request.

Just then, someone stood beside him, holding up two drinks, and offering one to him. Wallace did not bother to look up as he took the cup, he was actually thirsty but was not yet ready to go back inside. “Thank you.”

“If you just want to stay silent that’s fine with me, but let me stay here with you for a bit.”

Wallace nodded. “The party’s a success.” He looked back at the gathering behind him and then back to the horizon. “Taichi really loves her.”

“He does,” Daisuke said. “They’re in love.”

“How are you and Hikari?”

Daisuke sighed. “I’ll give up soon enough. She and Takeru have a lot of stuff going on, going around each and all. They have a history. They have the present. And,” he paused. Wallace could see how heartbroken Daisuke was about this. “And they have a future.”

Wallace pursed his lips. “There’s someone else out for you, I promise.” He placed a hand on Daisuke’s shoulder and rubbed it. “I know it.”

Daisuke smiled. “Thanks, Wallace. You’re a good friend, you know that?” He raised his hand and rubbed Wallace’s shoulder. “I know Mimi-san is missing a lot.”

Wallace shook his head. “Why does everyone think I’m into Mimi?”

“Uh, because it’s obvious? The way you keep looking at her? The way Yamato-san looks as if he’s about to start a fight soon.”

Wallace felt like he was shrinking. “I didn’t notice.”

Daisuke laughed. “Anyway.” He regained his composure. “I don’t want to ask but it’s bound to happen. When are you leaving?”

“Three days from now,” he answered, his head bowed down. “I don’t wanna leave,” he admitted. “I’m…having a good time.”

Daisuke nodded. “Yeah, I know you are.”

They stayed quiet until Daisuke ended it by asking, “What do you want for Christmas?”

Wallace cocked his head to the side. “What?”

“What do you want for Christmas?” Daisuke repeated. “You’re leaving three days before Christmas Day and I want to give you something before we part ways.”

Wallace was silent. Then, he took out his phone and handed it over to the man in front of him. “Can you give me your email?”

“My email?” Daisuke echoed.

“Yeah,” Wallace nodded, “I’d really like it if we talked some more. Even when I’m back in the US, I want to be able to communicate with you guys properly.”

Daisuke grinned. “You read my mind.”

Just watched ColeyDoesThings video on soulmate aus and now I'm tempted to write a one-shot, ambiguous ending, soulmate subversion au that involves Takari, Daikari, Daikeru, and Daiken, maybe Miyako x Ken as well. (With sprinkles of Taichi x Koushiro)

The AU would be a what if they never went back into the digital world after Adventure and when you turn ten you receive a soulmate finder.

This soulmate finder is different for everyone tho, (some people get strings of fate, some writing ect. ect.)

Takeru's would be an aurora that covers a 30ft radius of where his soulmate is.

Daisuke’s would be a bruise that only goes away when hist soulmate touches the exact area.

Ken's would be multi colored strings (with no key of what each color indicates)

Hikari can't see her soulmate's fav. color but her soulmates favorite color is always changing (or she could have a body writing type)

Taichi may have some sort of pain connection

Koushirou's will probably be some type of color or timer type of soulmate finder

Essentially I want them to have some pretty unconventional soulmate finders and for there to be the possibility that soulmates aren't romantic, like I want Iori to maybe have a string of fate tie him to all the 02 digidestined ( +Jou and Koushiro) and for each string to be grey (maybe with a spec of color to represent what each person provides for him majorly)

wholesome headcanons (digimon edition)

i’m doing this for haikyuu on my kagehina blog and after reading Onee-chan by @patamon, i’ve been inspired to do it for my chosen bbys so here it goes:

daisuke teaches ken how to cook; you’d think it’d be the other way around, but if his mother isn’t around, ken resorts to depression meals. this becomes daisuke teaching the rest of the 02 kids cos hikari can barely boil water, miyako relies on her family’s convenience store snacks, takeru’s diet consists of mainly tv dinners unless he goes to yamato’s, and iori just wants to learn to help out his family

takeru starts calling sora Nee-san at like 12—it’s an accident at first but then he just continues to call her that and sora’s secretly warmed by it

you can’t tell me koushiro doesn’t game on like Steam or something, he really enjoys puzzle games. he’s secretly competitive and loves online play.

the chosen share acct info for many active subscriptions/streaming services and it’s kind of the perfect set up:

youtube? somebody has premium, there’s only 5 or 6 profiles available so they share

taichi prbly pays for crunchyroll

amazon prime? hahah yep many addresses are saved

netflix? hulu? mimi prbly pays for that

if someone is having trouble financially or they’re like “hey guys sorry we’re gonna have to skip this month for [x subscription], money’s tight” someone else is like “nah fam i gotchu, don’t worry abt it” 

food delivery services for groceries and/or dining?? yamato prbly pays for that specifically to ensure his little bro gets some nutrients when he’s not available to cook 💙💛 (also he supports daisuke teaching takeru learning how to cook but requests frequent updates and pictures so he knows takeru isn’t getting hurt)

nintendo switch online? xbox game pass? someone has something; takeru prbly spends a lot of time gaming with hikari and taichi/yamato like to make bets on mario kart

also pirating galore 

the chosen have a discord server that started for digital world-related things but evolved into a chaotic mess of digimon/pet pics, tv show/book/anime/manga/music recs, memes, school/homework help, advice, and other random shenanigans

so many memes. yamato & jou are tired

koushiro gets a dog. yes i know i wrote abt this already but i can’t stop thinking abt koushiro being a lonely kiddo and his mom knows

food is a great way to bribe someone—jou with coffee, takeru & hikari with sweets, koushiro with tea, etc.

hikari has a massive sticker collection, she hoards them the way taichi hoards video games

miyako is not above commissioning fanfics from takeru; she writes them herself too but gets a lot of writing pointers from takeru

mimi has a big following on social media and she pulls a lot of the other chosen into it, including an exasperated jou, a very confused koushiro, and ofc famous rock icon Ishida Yamato

after (prbly accidentally) learning that ken suffers from depression, the older chosen create a separate chat for mental health <333 they’re always finding ways to spend time together so nobody is lonely (lookin at you, takeru)

should i do a part 2?? any requests for certain characters or relationships (platonic or otherwise)?? please let me know, this was fun!!

Digimon shipping dynamic game

@atsoraasayoma​

I am always a Takeru x hikari undying fan forever. Curious on your thoughts about them from another perspective. It’s probably been done to death in so many different ways but it’s refreshing any time just the same.

Send me two names among the following 12 and I’ll write a short analysis post about them:

Taichi Yagami | Yamato Ishida | Sora Takenouchi | Koushirou Izumi | Mimi Tachikawa | Jyou Kidou | Takeru Takaishi | Hikari Yagami | Daisuke Motomiya | Miyako Inoue | Iori Hida | Ken Ichijouji

Whether canon provides input on them or not:

Takari are a very interesting case to look at in general, because, from an objective storytelling perspective, there are only few characters who are as consistently framed together in the way these two are (besides all the jogress combinations, namely Taichi/Yamato, Daisuke/Ken and, to a lesser degree, Miyako/Hikari and Takeru/Iori). This might take a little longer, since I actually haven’t paid too much attention to these two before, so bear with me: 

Adventure 01 obviously doesn’t give them a lot of screentime together, as Hikari joins the group fairly late in the series and is also sick for a big chunk of it - however, they’re still played as parallels from the very beginning: Not only are they the youngest members of the Chosen Children and the siblings (and story-related foils) of the main fighters in the final arc, but they’re also the carriers of two of the most significant Crests, that are bound to bring the Light of Hope to everyone through their holy/angelic Digimon partners. These roles are even more strongly defined in the reboot and thus, they’re frequently seen next to each other - but it’s not the only thing they’re being paralleled for. Each of them has their very own set of brother complexes/issues, which are also important factors in how their relationship is developing and framed - from 01, 02, the movies, Tri to Kizuna. To put this rather shortly - Takeru, at first, projects onto Hikari in terms of wanting to protect her at all costs (just like Yamato overprotected him being the youngest and considered to be the “weakest”), whereas Hikari, at first, projects onto Takeru in terms of seeing him as someone she has to rely on (like Taichi).

02 frames them together, because they’re now the seniors of their new Chosen Children group, they share the memories, the experiences, the pain and the happy moments - they’re on good terms here, relaxed and visibly close to a point that makes Daisuke believe they’re actually a couple (who go on vacation trips together). But due to their issues, they do not really confide a lot in each other at this point. This is why Takeru gets angry at Hikari for being so dependant on Taichi (just like he was towards Yamato) and why Hikari deals with stuff on her own without asking for help up front (and will actually end up confiding more in Miyako as her jogress partner than Takeru). Their conflicts don’t really get resolved in 02, but one can see that there IS a foundation of trust between them, a connection, which is exactly why Takeru is able to track her down and reach her when she’s at the Dark Ocean, making them “connect through worlds” (which, in my opinion, is similar to how Taichi and Koushirou connected, even though this time, Takeru INTENTIONALLY wanted to connect with her to save her). 

So it’s no surprise that they’re framed as rather close in Tri - which is logical, since the rest of their “usual” friend group has disappeared, so the youngest ones are left(overs) to stick together. Additionally, since they’re now 14, there is also a teasing element between them, with Hikari frequently nudging Takeru about his “ladies’ man persona” (and appearing a tiiiny bit jealous about it in the process), which Takeru downplays/deflects each and every time. Tri frames Hikari as noticing Takeru as a boy now, making her blush on a few occasions - whereas Takeru is framed to be her anchor, especially during the arc where Hikari thinks that Taichi has died, holding onto her, steadying her, giving physical comfort. So there actually is a bit of ship teasing here among the good old “him being protective of her vs. her being dependant on her brother” trope. 

Last but not least, we have Kizuna, where they’re framed as being among the last remaining fighters to protect the real world from rampaging Digimon - trusting and relying on each other like, apparently, very comfortable partners in crime, who go on breakfast dates with their Digimon.

So the answer is yes - there is a LOT of material to work with, despite the fact that they were never confirmed as canon.

Whether I think why and how they’d work:

Based on everything I have outlined above, I believe that I don’t even have to mention why exactly this ship is probably one of the most popular Digimon ships world wide. Due to all the parallels between them (the Crests, the angels, the brothers), due to the fact that they’re consistently standing next to each other sharing (knowing) glances (because they’ve definitely seen things that bound them together), due to them seeming so comfortable by each other’s side (when things are not at stake), caring so much about each other’s wellbeing, it’s only logical to think of them as a romantic couple. It almost feels like they’re destined to be together - and I do think that it could definitely work, because them overcoming their respective traumas and start healing together could be the most wonderful thing (which, unfortunately, was never focused on in each of their arcs, because, most of the time, they’re really just foils for the sake of other characters’ developments). They’d have to tear down their respective walls for that though and that won’t be easy after all this time: Once Takeru opens up towards her about his doubts and fears, letting go of his fake smiles, masks and walls he built to make her (and everyone else) feel at ease, he could finally rely on her in return - that is, once he is able to see that he has projected onto her and that she’s more than capable to fight for herself. Once Hikari finally comes to terms with that she is indeed her own person for her own sake, not for Homeostasis, not for Taichi, or anybody else, once she can be honest towards Takeru and display her trust and affections in a genuine manner, they really could become the unstoppable “partners in crime” power couple - both on and off the battlefield. They already are mutually supportive and comfortable next to each other - with a lot of gentle teasing in between -, they just need to let loose a little more. 

By the time they’ve reached their Kizuna ages, I could definitely see them spending study sessions together - with him comfortably practicing creative writing while she’s reciting her pedagogy teachings towards him. And since they’re both, apparently, very fond of coffee shops and the likes, one will frequently see them spending time there (also to provide Patamon with beverages of his choice and Tailmon with all the sweets she can get). Basically, I could see them spending a lot of their freetime together - and with their respective friend groups, just tagging along and having fun (for example gate hopping with the 02 gang or lounging around in Koushirou’s office with Taichi and Yamato).

Whether I’d prefer them as platonic or romantic ship:

This may sound a little bit weird regarding everything I have talked about so far, but despite the fact that I have grown to appreciate the romantic appeal of Takari a loooooot more throughout the last months, I always kinda preferred them as “platonic life partners”, if that makes sense? As outlined above, they have everything it needs to have a beautifully supportive, gentle and understanding relationship with each other that hits a lot of spots I usually fall for and I could definitely see them living together eventually - but rather as best friends (and also probably cuddle buddies, once they’ve gotten rid of their walls towards each other) than as classic romantic partners. I can definitely appreciate romantic framings for them, but I also love the idea of Hikari endlessly teasing Takeru about the ridiculous execution of his crushes (on Meiko for example), once he has finally admitted that his “dating phase” was just him trying to compensate. The boy has a lot of “broken family” related trauma, so him spending his life (whether romantically or platonically) with someone coming from a happy family to heal is still one of the best things (and the Yagami family has probably adopted him by now anyway, just like Koushirou). Takeru is the kind of person whose own romantic life needs a lot of time to actually get into motion, while he’s absolutely marvellous at sensing romantic opportunities for his friends (just like Mimi would, in my opinion) and that is why, in my opinion, he would be the best possible wingman for Hikari (to set her up with, for example, Koushirou or Miyako). They can both be absolute trolls when it comes to teasing their brothers (and others too) for example, so that’s absolutely something I could see them bonding over.

So yes, I’d actually enjoy both “timelines”, the one of them being platonic life partners as well as them being a romantic couple.

When A Handsome Boy Saved My Hat

Older Takaishi Takeru x Male Reader

Prompt - Asking someone out on a date

“But then, when he kicked the ball, he kicked it right into my head”, Daisuke said.

Takeru rolled his eyes at what Daisuke said. Everyone was currently walking home from school as Daisuke ranted about what happened during his last soccer practice.

Takeru wasn’t really listening, he was too busy thinking about his up and coming math test. But that was thrown out of the window when the wind decided it was going to be an ass hole.

The wind picked up, it had been windy the whole day but this was the strongest gust so far.

It had blown Takeru’s hat right off his head.

“My hat!” Takeru yelled as he pushed himself though everyone as he followed his hat. Takeru stared directly at his hat as it was blown though the wind until Takeru saw a hand grab it.

Takeru let out a sigh and slowed down. Leaning down and placing his hands on his knees as he breathed heavily. “Thank you”, Takeru said, looking up to grab his hat back when he suddenly stopped.

The boy that had grabbed Takeru’s hat was the most handsome boy Takeru had ever seen.

He was a little taller than Takeru with h/l h/c hair that somehow looked perfect even with the wind. His e/c eyes were looking at Takeru with curiosity in his eyes.

Takeru felt his heart beat increase and his throat went dry. “This yours?” He said, holding Takeru’s hat out. Takeru stumbled over his words before choking out a yes and taking his hat back.

The boy smiled before turning around and walking away, “you’re welcome”, he said before fully turning around and leaving. “Thank you!”

Takeru yelled out, watching the boy walk away with a red face. “You got your hat?” Hikari asked. Takeru flinched before looking to his left where Hikari was.

Takeru looked around, not even realizing that everyone had caught up with him. “Yeah”, Takeru whispered before putting his hat back on. “Who was that boy, he was cute”, Miyako said while looking in the direction where the boy walked off.

“Careful Miyako, I’m pretty sure Takeru already has a crush on him”, Hikari said plainly before continuing walking away. Takeru blushed more and quickly started to follow Hikari before anyone could ask him any questions.

Takeru heard laughter behind him but he was relieved that no one asked him anything about what Hikari said.

Takeru sighed, thank god.

Takeru stuffed his hands in his pockets.

Takeru was on a walk to clear his head from a certain boy, but the more Takeru tried not to think about him, the more Takeru thought about him.

Takeru hadn’t even seen the boy before, yet now he didn’t leave Takeru’s mind. He just looked so, ugh. Takeru turned around and leaned on the railing of the bridge he was walking over.

Takeru leaned his head on his hand. Several people were walking around below Takeru. Some by themselves, some with people. Takeru glanced at two people right before they kissed.

This led Takeru to think about what it would be like to kiss that boy. Would it be rough or soft? Were the boys' lips dry or moist? Would the boy let Takeru lead with the kiss, or would he?

Takeru felt his face get red and he buried his head in his hands. Oh, Takeru was screwed. Takeru didn’t even know the boy's name yet he was stuck in Takeru’s mind like gum sticks to the bottom of desks.

Takeru lifted his head from his hands and pushed himself off the railing. Takeru should get home, the sky was getting dark. Though Takeru’s mother was staying late so it's not like anyone was going to yell at him for being late.

Though Patamon would probably have something to say. “Never thought I’d see you again, pretty boy”, Takeru turned around to see that boy standing near the end of the bridge.

Takeru blushed more at the pet name before walking towards the boy. “Thank you for saving my hat”, Takeru said again. Not really sure what else to say.

Takeru felt his throat dry and his hands get clammy. “It’s fine”, the boy's face showed a look of confusion before Takeru figured out what was wrong. “Takeru”, Takeru held out his hand.

“Y/n”, the boy, Y/n, said. Takeru smiled, that was a nice name. “It’s fine Takeru, though I was wondering if you could pay me back”, You said.

Takeru swallowed, what did you have in mind?

You walked closer to Takeru, “Could I take you out for a date?” You asked with a smile that made Takeru’s legs weak. It was a few seconds before Takeru responded, “yes”, Takeru said with a small smile of his own.

You smiled before reaching into your pocket, pulling out a piece of paper. You handed the paper to Takeru, “call me”, you said before walking away. Takeru smiled and put the paper into his pocket.

Looks like Y/n won’t be leaving Takeru’s mind.

I think it's funny you posted the meta on character colors and how Takeru was being associated with the color orange, and since then we've had the Summer Festival art, the first couple minutes of "The Beginning", and the Kizuna phone cases from Partners, which now associate him back to green.

I repeat: (ノ°Д°）ノ︵ ┻━┻

The phone cases are understandable since they're supposed to be based off the colors of the devices they're linked to, so since Takeru's D-3 is green it makes perfect sense for his phone case to be green as well. It's just funny that the one time there was an outlier, it was in the movie itself, but also, said movie makes a mistake with Daisuke's phone case despite the fact the reference sheets had explicit instructions to use a different design whenever two Crests were involved. (Look carefully at the shot and you'll see that it uses the triangle design Taichi has instead of the X design it's supposed to.)

Which is funny because this is the only time one of the phones that should have this pattern appears in the movie, and they still messed it up. Kizuna is a very thorough and accurate-to-detail movie in most other aspects, but as far as this one goes, seriously, they had one job! So this is one of the few times I'd defer to the merch and liner notes even if they contradict the animation footage itself, because the merch has been consistent with Daisuke/Miyako/Iori having the correct back patterns and Takeru having a green case. Or maybe Takeru has two phone cases. That's not out of character, I suppose.

But yeah, the new GraffArt collab also goes with D-3 colors, with Ken being a bit purple because of the difficulty of working with pure grey (basically the same cheat method as Kouichi). This hasn't been in official merch as much as you'd think, but I see it a lot in fanwork, so it has precedent. The partner coloring is probably the most "consistent" in that it applies the same rule to all six kids with no outliers, but the D-3 coloring here is probably the second "neatest" color matchup that's commonly used, and it has the benefit of feeling closer to the original series since the "partner" coloring was never used back then.

But still.
