[He looks at the photo again even though he already knows which one Taichi is probably pointing out. Surprisingly, he turns to face the corkboardto peer at it. He's trying to pretend like his look isn't fond.]
I don't know actually. We met on the beach back home. We didn't even ask each other our names. I guess we were too busy having fun. I didn't realize it until after we all left, when my parents asked me who they were.
I was hoping... maybe one day I'd run into them again.
[that's so cute? and also sad? and also shut up anna.]
When you're that young it's a lot easier to make friends. [idly.] Then again, I've been friends with the same people since elementary school. Who knows though? Maybe you will. Agumon was waiting for me for years before we finally met. And then it was a few years before we got to meet again.
[he finally does turn to hand luke the blade so he can put it back.]
Maybe you'll even meet them at this school later. [let's get back on track here.] You're staying for a while, aren't you?
I think that's why I've been doing it on my own. We just haven't got to the time where we met each other again.
[He sounds... worriedly hopeful maybe? When Taichi hands the blade back, he'll take it. Really does look like it fits his dumbass self. He'll go climb back on the couch to hang it on the wall again.]
Yeah. I came to this school because it was the only one with a good offer, but... I hoped maybe they would be here, too. [He steps down to the floor again.] I want to pass the entrance exam to get into college... so I've got a few more years.
I get it. There's a lot of things I've had to figure out how to do on my own, too, when I can't be with Agumon. You do things to try to be better for when you meet your friends again. Right?
[this dumb blade...there it go.]
The...offer to eat skittles? [teasing.] I should be thinking about my own entrance exams for university but...that's still a little time from now.
[that said.]
Am I allowed to ask you about the auction thing you and Viola are doing?
[He makes a face at the teasing jab. Okay, keep laughing, pal. He's going to get that blade back down. Show Taichi the way to the dawn for real.] Shut up. [(affectionate)]
[yeah, just kill him. free me from everything. but he settles on a cheerful little grin. it softens a little though both at the thought of exams and then at the acknowledgement he can ask questions.]
The things you guys are offering are items that showed up in the catalogue just recently too, right? How did you decide it would be you and Viola auctioning them off?
Fair enough. [...] What do you think though? If you had an option, would you want to give this thing out to someone who needed it? Or would you still put a price on it?
I don't know which of you is worse, you or Yamato. With worrying about everyone else. This is why I'm having to bother keeping up with the two of you all the time.
[Having to worry about the self-sacrificial worriers of others. Tch.]

Yamato said the same thing.
[About the exams.]
Sure. What do you want to know?

no subject
We just decided we'd take them. She took one, and I took what was left.

[But... that's only if Taichi wins the bid.]

Fair enough. [...] What do you think though? If you had an option, would you want to give this thing out to someone who needed it? Or would you still put a price on it?
no subject
I think I have to follow whatever rules I'm given by the school if I want to help all of you any way I can.
no subject
Does that include stuff like the regret rule that just showed up?
no subject
Why? Waiting for me to whisper my biggest regret in your ear?
no subject
Dude, I'm just asking if it applies, not if you'd tell me yours.
no subject
[hmph
This is
big talk for him considering some things.]
no subject
[that was different but :/ ]
no subject
He very quickly lunges to grab a pillow off the couch and throws it directly at Taichi's face.]
Shut up.
no subject
I'm just making sure you guys are gonna be okay. That's all.
[they do not have to judge luke's taste in. everyone. i guess.]
no subject
You don't have to worry about us. We'll manage.
no subject
I'm sure. But I don't know how to not worry about stuff like that when I have a team to look after.
no subject
[Having to worry about the self-sacrificial worriers of others. Tch.]
no subject
...funny. [ANYWAY.] We're used to working with a team, but he worries a lot anyway even outside of that.
[so does taichi, but that's irrelevant.]
You make it sound like you wouldn't try to keep up either way.
no subject
I know. I can tell. [About Yamato.] Someone has to with you two.
[Who do you think you are, Kairi? Sir.]
no subject
To be honest with you, there is somebody. She's just not here right now, but she's always kept us in line. So it's up to me until we can get back.
no subject
[He says it very teasingly, but his eyes flicker to the photo of him, the boy, and the girl on the beach before quickly looking away.]
Guess you better hurry up and graduate. Don't forget about her.
