#gatomon is gay for noir

[lalunedigimon]

This is a little oneshot i made inspired by this post by @autoplaysdigimon

Fic is put under the cut,

Tw of implied abuse, war and abandonment.

Also a few hints of Gatomon being gay for another digimon but that's just me trying to keep a slight brighter mood. No beta

Wizardmon gave a quick look over at the white cat digimon he had found himself traveling with. They hadn't exactly spoken a word to the other since he had first woken up at the digimon's camp. They had developed a silent agreement to travel together.

The fire was starting to dwindle, and Wizardmon had a feeling he would once again take first shift. Though, Gatomon didn't show any sign of moving to lay down and get a nap before her shift came.

"You can get some rest. I'm not ready to sleep." Gatomon stated as they looked up and met Wizardmon's gaze, adjusting the green gloves on her paws.

"You don't need to do that, you've been up since before the sun rose this morning." Wizardmon quickly responded as he picked up his staff to put on his lap.

The white cat digimon looked away from the scarecrow magician, standing up and moving to grab some of the branches and firewood they had gathered just before dusk. The silence was tense, with the only major sounds around them being the howls of the Garurumon in the distance and the crackling of the now roaring fire.

Wizardmon wasn't sure how to properly keep a conversation going with this mon. They just seemed quite distant in general. They could relate on that. How many years had it been since he traveled with another? He didn't want to really think on it. So instead he just said the first thing on his mind.

"You told me you are looking for someone, correct?" Wizardmon asked Gatomon as he watched them stoke the fire.

"I am." She responded as she sat down next to him, crossing her legs as she stretched.

"Have you met them before?"

"No... Yes? I don't know, my memories from my rookiehood are fuzzy. If I had, it would have had to been when I was a Salamon."

Wizardmon gave a hum of acknowledgement as he watched the other. Gatomon had started holding their head, trying their best to rack their brain.

"I have trained in two magic schools since my own rookiehood. If you wish, I can look within your memories-"

"NO." Gatomon responded rather quickly, looking at Wizardmon with a look of slight panic. They cleared their throat and tried to return to their more controlled attitude, "I would... rather not. I have a feeling that you wont find anything you would like "

Wizardmon had been quite surprised by Gatomon's outburst, and he glanced at her in a slight state of shock. But he wouldn't push it.

"Alright. I'm sorry." He was a bit slower to respond to Gatomon, needing to think through what they needed to say.

"Can we change the topic?" Gatomon asked as they looked at Wizardmon again.

"Of course. Do you have anything you wish for me to talk about?"

"You said you trained in magic? Where would someone learn something like that?"

Of course. This topic was rough to explain. But he trusted Gatomon. He didn't really get how he trusted her so much, he could assume it's because shes been the first mon to actually try and help his situation for a long time. He took a deep breath and looked down at his feet before he began to speak.

"Well, I'm from a parallel world. It was called Witchelny."

"Was?"

"Well, around four years ago, my frie-." Wizardmon caught himself in the moment, and he cleared his throat "My acquaintance, Witchmon, came to this world to practice magic outside of a classroom setting. I came with her. When we originally planned to return, we were told the two heroes of our world had failed, and that our home was at war. It's completely sealed off. Witchmon left me behind after we both found out we could no longer return home."

"Oh... Wow."

"Ah- Sorry, was that too much?" Wizardmon realised he probably was ranting at Gatomon, he doesn't want to scare her away because he couldn't control his emotions.

"No. It's just sad. You can't go home, while I'll hav to go home before he finds me."

Wizardmon raised an eybrow as he looked back at Gatomon. She had said that first day that she had been on the run. What was she running from? Or who was she running from.

"Who are you speaking of?" Wizardmon found himself questioning as he moved closer to Gatomon.

"...I have someone to return to. Her name is Noir. Shes a Blackgatomon. I met her when we were both Salamon." Gatomon was deflecting, it was easy to tell.

"Is she a friend?" Wizardmon would roll with it. He didn't need to know too much.

"She is our..." Gatomon hesitated as she looked at her gloves, fiddling with them a bit "Master... always liked her more than me. Something about her eyes. They are a pretty green but I don't think he cared about that."

"Why isn't she here with you then-"

"To keep her safe! If she ran with me, it would put a target on her head! She... Did try to come with me but it just isn't safe."

Wizardmon got closer and gave an awkward hug to the kitten. Gatomon froze for a few seconds before she nuzzled into him. Wizardmon was pretty sure that he hadn't hugged anyone since he was a Candlemon, but he was sure that they needed it.

He wasn't sure how long they stayed like that, but it lasted at least the rest of the night. It probably didn't take that long before the two fell asleep like that. It was probably the best sleep they've had in months.

In the morning, Wizardmon awoke after Gatomon. She had already made a meal for him. The only thing Gatomon said that morning had been "I ate before you woke up."

He thanked her of course. After he ate, they were back to walking, while Wizardmon was still processing the night before. About midday was when Wizardmon made a decision and gave an offer to Gatomon.

"What if I went back with you?" Wizardmon had sort of said it out of no where, with little context to what he had been talking about.

"What?"

"You have been the first to show me there is still a light left in this world. I don't have anywhere to go, so what if i go with you to where you return?"

Gatomon freezes. She had to properly think out a response, and Wizardmon just patiently waited for a reply from the cat digimon.

"If... You do go with me, you're putting yourself in danger."

"Nothing i wouldn't hav to face on my own. After all nothing would be worse than being on my own once again after traveling with you."

"Let me... Think on it alright? I'd have to make an excuse of why you're with me."

They talked together over this possible situation. Gatomon decided an excuse for why she had left her 'home'. She had left to find recruits of course, and she had found Wizardmon to be capable. The two of them started on their way to Myotismon's mansion after they had came up with what they would say.

Wizardmon had a feeling that staying with Gatomon will be both the worst and best decision he will ever make.
