[NO his friends :pensive:]

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.

[goalsides]

[luke...buddy...]

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?

[darksubverted]

Right.

[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)]

Yamato said the same thing.

[About the exams.]

Sure. What do you want to know?

[goalsides]

[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?

[darksubverted]

Yeah. [He tilts his head, like he's trying to gauge why Taichi is curious.] There wasn't any reason to it.

We just decided we'd take them. She took one, and I took what was left.

[goalsides]

Guess that makes sense. [he's just nosy most, and some other stuff.] But you said it had some conditions to it?

[darksubverted]

Yeah. If you win the bid, I'll explain them then.

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

[goalsides]

[frowning. your rules suck.]

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?

[darksubverted]

[Taichi at least asked, and Luke will give him that much credit.]

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.

[goalsides]

[this leads him to another unrelated question.]

Does that include stuff like the regret rule that just showed up?

[darksubverted]

[He gets a weird look on his face, something between wariness and defiance.]

Why? Waiting for me to whisper my biggest regret in your ear?

[goalsides]

[hm.]

Dude, I'm just asking if it applies, not if you'd tell me yours.

[darksubverted]

Maybe we're just exempt from some rules. You'll have to find out for yourself.

[hmph

This is

big talk for him considering some things.]

[goalsides]

Oh yeah? Like you were exempt from the biting thing?

[that was different but :/ ]

[darksubverted]

[GOD.

He very quickly lunges to grab a pillow off the couch and throws it directly at Taichi's face.]

Shut up.

[goalsides]

[the pillow definitely smacks him in the face but he does laugh, unfortunately.]

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.]

[darksubverted]

[No. Don't get soft on him now after he's done thrown a pillow. Tch. Great Value Sora looking ass.]

You don't have to worry about us. We'll manage.

[goalsides]

[STOP HE EXISTED BEFORE SORA. also, no.]

I'm sure. But I don't know how to not worry about stuff like that when I have a team to look after.

[darksubverted]

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.]

[goalsides]

[ah...he looks awkward for a moment.]

...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.

[darksubverted]

[No, don't look at him. Nevermind, he will look away first.]

I know. I can tell. [About Yamato.] Someone has to with you two.

[Who do you think you are, Kairi? Sir.]

[goalsides]

[tsundere...but he laughs briefly.]

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.

[darksubverted]

A girl, huh?

[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.

[goalsides]

It's not like that. [just pointing that out. also i did not think this through i'm sorry.] Sora and I have been friends for even longer than me and Yamato. And she was interested in him anyway.

[that's its own thing and he doesn't linger on that, because he's thinking of something else.]

It's more like...I have to get back and apologize for some stuff. Make sure the rest of my team's okay.

[darksubverted]

[this is my boyfriend yamato and his boyfriend taichi

He's peering at Taichi from behind his stupid fringe. Quiet for a long moment, just watching.]

Did something you shouldn't have?
