Constructive Criticism: Go for it.
Note: Written for a meme. And yeah, the subject matter (how to not destroy household appliances) didn't actually hold up once I started writing. (It should be 'How to Not Misuse...' lol)
Taichi looked out at the window, at the raw eggs splattered across the sidewalk in a ribbon of orange and yellow. At elderly Shioka-baasan, waddling around perplexed and uncertain how to get inside the apartment building without more breakfast experiments raining down on her parasol.
Then he looked at Agumon. And fought to remember that this was his partner, his best friend, whom he loved and did not want to dismember with a steak knife, not really.
“Agumon.”
“Yeah, Taichi?”
“About the egg timer.”
“Yeah, Taichi?”
“You know it’s for cooking eggs, not racing them, right?”
Agumon paused. He peered out the window, at the mess which had now attracted a group of local preschoolers, happily tramping around in the slimy fluids. He gave his chin a thoughtful scratch.
“Oh,” he said, finally.
Taichi sighed. Then he rolled his shoulders. No point in putting it off. He made for the bathroom closet to grab the mop.
The click-clack of claws on linoleum followed him down the hall. Agumon wasn’t acting particularly contrite, but seemed to get that Taichi wasn’t too thrilled with him or his experiment. “It’s all right,” Taichi said. “You didn’t know. Now you do. Don’t do it again.”
“I won’t,” Agumon promised all too quickly. He picked up his pace and matched Taichi stride for stride. As they entered the elevator, Agumon’s lips curved upwards in a slow smile.
Taichi waited for him to say something, but they passed the third floor and still nothing. “What?” he asked, impatient. It was too nice of a day to spend mopping up eggs.
Agumon grinned broadly. His eyes sparkled. “I knew the brown eggs would be the fastest!”
