Who: Tentomon and Koushiro
When: Written Sunday, so we'll say... then
Where: Their living room
What: They have an actual conversation, and payday comes early for Kou.
Tentomon shifted on the couch, staring at the turned off television set. It had been far too long since he and Koushiro-han had spoken properly. They would exchange greetings and have short conversations, but he was long overdue to tell him about his activities for the first half of this year.
Making a decision, he looked in the corner of the apartment where he kept his few possessions and confirmed the money he owed his partner was still there. That task complete, he went in search of Koushiro himself.
Koushirou entered the apartment quickly, giving Tentomon a quick "Hey." as he shuffled to hold the bags in his hands. It would seem someone had gone shopping for various items in the electronic district. He yawned as he set the items down, settling on the couch Tentomon just left. Koushirou started to flip through the channels, scowling on each one as they came into focus. "Something tells me I missed Mythbusters...Damnit. Why is there always such garbage on this thing? Nothing but pop stars and no quiz shows."
"Did you buy anything interesting today, Koushiro-han?" Tentomon perched on the arm at the other end of the couch, resisting the urge to ask his partner to check to see what infomercial was currently playing.
Koushirou shifted his head and almost jumped at the sudden appearance of his Digimon. It has been so long since they had sat next to each other.....The computer genius settled momentarily rebuilding his composure with a smirk. "Oh, just some new software components and a few new gadgets I wanted to try out for quite awhile!" He nods, looks back on the TV, stopping on the news network.
"That sounds interesting," Tentomon lied. He glanced at the television, losing interest quickly. "Koushiro-han," he blurted suddenly. "I have something that I must tell you." he did not know when Koushiro-han and he would be in the same room like this, with nothing of importance otherwise occupying then.
"Hmm?" Koushirou looked over to Tentomon, blinking inquisitively. "What’s going on Tentomon....?" Wait. No. Not again. There was a vein throbbing on his head....Did it happen again? Maybe it was something else. Calm down.
"Do - do you recall when I borrowed your credit card?" The bug inquired slowly.
Oh No. Koushirou grew nervous. "Yes." No. No. Gah.
"Well - do not worry, I have not done so again. But I have felt unsettled ever since, having spent so much money." As he spoke, the bug flew from the couch and to his corner, picking up the envelope wherein the cash was stored. "I have this for you. I obtained a job back in January," he explained. "Mantarou-han, Miyako-han's brother was kind enough to allow me to work with him."
Koushirou blinks and stares at the Envelop. "Tentomon...You didn't have to. It's in the past..." He frowns as he takes the envelop and looks into it. There it was...every yen.
Flustered at his partner's reaction, Tentomon did not quite know how to reply. Was his partner not pleased? "I... thought it would be the right course of action to take," he said slowly. "I no longer have the job - though I sometimes go to the store and help Mantarou-han. Is that all right?" This was not going how he would have liked...
"No, no. Its fine but you didn't need to is what I'm saying. I'm happy you did though." Koushirou grins at Tentomon. "And of course it is okay."
"I wanted to," the Digimon said quietly, relieved Koushiro was not angry with him. "I have wanted to tell you for quite sometime," he confessed. "I was just not sure how to go about it."
Koushirou blinks and nods. "Well thank you!" He was still wondering what he should do next, eyeing the money.
"You are welcome," Tentomon said quietly, also unsure of what to do next.
"So how...have you been?" Awkward was the only word for this. Koushirou shifts in his chair a little.
"Good." Tentomon smiled, glad he could now discuss work with his partner. "Last weekend, another child mistook me for one of those Pokecreatures and asked to capture me. This happens regularly,” he added wryly. “But otherwise, my time at the store has been enjoyable. How have you been? I trust school is going well?"
Koushirou nods. "Yeah. I've been doing well with that. Nothing really interesting has happened though I suppose. I do spend allot more time in Akihabara though I suppose."
"Now you will have more funds to spend there," Tentomon remarked, rather pleased with himself.
Koushirou smiles and nods. "I guess so. I feel bad about not being around though...it's like everything has just passed by. Not in a bad way but like I'm heading in a different direction from everyone else."
"I am sure you can start spending time with them again if you desire," Tentomon said thoughtfully. "It is a busy time that is all."
Koushirou nods. "I suppose." Koushirou looks at the television. "Have you seen any of the others?"
Tentomon shook his head. "Not recently, no. I would like to get together with Gomamon, but he has not responded to me since I posted requesting this."
Koushirou nods. "I guess we're both being anti social huh?" There was a forced laugh from Koushirou, trying to make light of the situation.
"Sadly, yes," his partner agreed. "How do you propose we remedy this situation, Koushiro-han? Surely, something must be done."
Koushirou shrugs and considers for a moment. "That's an interesting question. I'm not sure at the moment. Simply fixing it quickly doesn't exactly work in most cases. Plus there are some of the others I'd rather avoid for the moment.”
"You wish to avoid your friends?" Tentomon repeated, confused. "Why is this?" Human relationships were never simple, he reflected.
Koushirou shakes his head. "Not all of them but I did have a fight with Mimi-san before. A Big fight....I'd rather not see her for awhile." He scowls under his breath, keeping his eyes fixed on the TV for the moment.
"That is troubling," Tentomon remarked. "I am sorry for that."
"That's life I suppose...." Koushirou considered. "I haven't seen Taichi or Sora in awhile."
"Neither have I. If you visit either, may I join you? I would very much like to see Piyomon and Agumon," Tentomon said, perking up.
"Definitely. I think that would be a step in the right direction." Koushirou smiles at Tentomon. "Jou might also be a good idea too."
"That would be enjoyable. I would like to hear about his trip, if he didn't mind me joining the two of you."
"I don't think he would mind...It's never been like Jou to mind much of anything."
"True," Tentomon agreed. "Perhaps you should contact one of them?"
"..." Koushirou nods. "Have they even checked their journals lately?"
"I do not know," Tentomon said thoughtfully. "I would assume so."
Koushirou nods slowly. "So what do you want for Dinner?" He was running out of subject matters to talk about relating to the chosen.
"Tentomon considered.”Sushi sounds enjoyable,' he said thoughtfully.
Koushirou eyed the envelop once more and smiled. "Yeah. I think we can do that. Come on." He stands up, rearranging the stuff in the hallway. "Can you cut off the TV, Tentomon?"
"Certainly, the Digimon replied cheerfully. He jabbed the off button with a claw as he took off toward the door, feeling relieved and rather accomplished. Not to mention the fact he and Koushiro-han had not been out for a meal in quite sometime.
