Summary:

{ WORDS }

-- To be honest,

Taichi and Koushiro don't need words. ( They have a lot more than Just )

( words )

-- Like, ... the way that Taichi-san looks at him, so gently.

( ... when he thinks Koushiro can't tell. ) Like, ... the way that Koushiro does the exact same thing all the time

( and Taichi notices ) ( every time. ) Like, ... the way that Taichi-san -- gently touches his shoulder.

( Attempting reassuring? him )

Like, ... the way that Koushiro ALWAYS, ALWAYS, WITHOUT FAIL, uses,

"Taichi-san"

Like, the way Taichi --

-- RECOGNIZES --

... WORDS ARE HARD for Koushiro.

Like, the way Taichi -- -- is always there for him

-- regardless. Like, the way Koushiro --

will always be by -- Taichi-san’s -- side

-- until,

the very end.

Notes:

-Originally written December 29, 2018; not posted previously. -Posted today for a couple particularly kind-of-reasons (see tags). -Also, when taking place in the main REPEAT universe, my Asexuality spectrum headcanons for either may be read in/implied - it is also Asexuality Awareness week, hence also why posting today. { Ace Week is October 25 through October 31st }

{ for Taichi I can see him as Demiromantic Pansexual OR Pan-Demiromantic & Demisexual, depending on ‘verse }

{ for Koushiro, essentially the same thing. However, in Tri canon compliancy specifically, I usually put him as Demiromantic Pansexual }

{ I can also see either as Queer in general, or Bi. [ while also using Gay as an Umbrella term ] Though for Koushiro I usually keep him specifically more as Pan. For both I also really love Gender-fluid headcanons, though this part was specifically also written with Ace and Aro[mantic]-spectrum headcanons in mind. }

For prompt "Dressing Koushiro" {Shared belatedly}, though it doesn't necessarily involve the Chosen picking outfits for Koushiro; but rather Koushiro making a decision on Koushiro's own, with background support from Taichi, family & the rest (implied more "offscreen"-like)

Taishiro Fic Notes: REPEAT? [09]

Pt./Ch. 09 (under the cut!)

Ch. 09, (”Incident”) (or, “Hikarigaoka Incident”) This part was also written about partway through everything else (thus not included in the outline) I had various ideas in which the direction of the dialogue could have gone but I wasn’t sure, so in the end I implied maybe they weren’t really discussing the Digimon too much after this? (or maybe in AUs of an AU, they were... if briefly) (there’s reasons too) [specific dialogue notes] - ‘  "That's... that's where we used to live, before moving to Odaiba..." Koushiro starts at first, making Taichi confused, but then nods, slowly -- ‘ Hikarigaoka Incident is still canon to this ‘verse, yes (also the original verse) Koushiro wasn’t actually aware Taichi lived there before too, though when he was asking, he assumed Taichi might have remembered it (or not) (like, naturally) (he might not have thought so if not for the dreams, though...) ... maybe subconscious pinging too about original verse Taishiros as well (not fully sure here tbh) - ‘ (Why does he have a sudden bad -- uneasy? -- feeling--?) (Like the--) ‘ (Timeloops effect ping here too, yes) (Digimon involvement, yes) - so Koushiro explains the Hikarigaoka incident and his thoughts he, of course, knows whatever reason the government pulled out is. [yeah] (... lbr after the/his accident in this ‘verse he probably researched everything ... as soon as he could get his hands on the laptop) (and probably documented everything he could remember, too) (... Koushiro ;;) (... so while in the original verse they forget over time [because the Digimon]-) (this Koushiro doesn’t forget [fully? (not sure but)]) (much like Hikari - except Koushiro had to work at keeping his memories intact) - ‘  "So... you're saying, they called it an 'attack'," Taichi rephrases, slowly -- "And they never even got any details...?" ‘ Taichi also realizes what’s up once Koushiro explains. (he thinks it’s all [lies], too) [..... unintended but maybe the spark of a government ambassador Taichi, too] [listen if you think Taichi wouldn’t involve himself in politics everywhere especially if it meant helping other people (and other Chosen including international Chosen because of everyone getting Digimon I mean) and uncovering (a corrupted) governments’ lies idk what to tell you that’s why that position is so good for him ok it’s not ... a totally passive position there’s tons of important work involved that kind of position can be good if one uses it well] - ‘ "However, there were some reports... -- of strange incidents occuring in other areas. At the same time." ’ Ripple effeeeeect - I still haven’t decided if Tri and Meiko are fully canon to these verses yet but just in case they are [or for in AUs of AUs] - this would relate probably too yeah - ‘ "...My next archaeological dig is scheduled there." ’ (it was actually not planned that way in-universe, Koushiro just took ... slight . advantage of it) (he’s genuinely working too though ok I promise he does enjoy his work) - ‘ (Taichi isn't sure if he should ask, 'are you ok?'--) ’ It’s obvious Koushiro might not be but this kind of relates back to the chapter/part “Cliche” - ‘ -- ...Eventually raises his head again to smile gently, at Taichi. ’ (it’s a [slightly] more controlled smile here, but he does still mean it [genuinely]) - Taichi’s reaction is basically typical (VERY EXCITED) (GENUINELY) Taichi - ‘ Koushiro looks back up quickly -- -- meets Taichi's excited eyes -- -- slowly gives another gentle smile. "...Then, we'll go." ’ (’...Ok.’) [once again] [except this time he’s smiling too ;;] - ‘ ("Besides, how could I just LEAVE you after all this--?!") ‘ seriously, though?! (this line was referred to in the original fic outline, too) (this entire section was actually written out way later though) (also this section was actually unplanned, it was mostly this line itself planned) (Taichi’s thinking it yeah) - the ‘hidden gaze’ section basically Koushiro’s more hidden feelings on the matter - ‘words left unspoken’ IF in AUs of AUs they brought up [the Digimon] or [this] then ..... ? - the following section with the stairs ..... high places BE CAREFUL, KOUSHIRO (I’ll elaborate on that more in later chapters but essentially) (it most likely wasn’t [fully] an accident) ok but I figured at some point he’d be going up and down stairs and eventually this had to happen in between at some point - fortunately Taichi was there...?! - [AND THEY GOT TO SEE EACH OTHER GENUINELY LAUGH--] [hi various Our War Game movie ending fanarts ..... ;A;/] - also, I considered a few more smaller / similar scrapped scenes after this, but ultimately left them out. I was kind of thinking maybe a partly sweeter scene too where on the way home (during the evening/early night) they stop for something [nice] to eat [again Koushiro you need to eat something] [and not fall back now] [I think he’d still try to keep it up though even if he was bothered by the above] then I thought (maybe it’d parallel the pastries scene except this time in reverse??) (like maybe they get ice cream or something idk) [it doesn’t help a similar scene happens with Kagepros in another favorite video] [not both the main Kagepros but still one of the Kagepros] (maybe Taichi would lean in this time idek) (... wow Taichi) (also) (if it was something simple like that maybe Taichi would make dinner again later) (or maybe they make it together?) (OK BUT YEAH THIS IS WHY THIS SCENARIO / SETUP HELPS WITH INDECISIVENESS)    (but yeah something cute would happen at least but then) (... crossings) (also, if in between those somewhere, or in AUs of AU, the park scene) (either way, if anything had happened .....) - fortunately Taichi is still there...?! [to be continued]

Taishiro Fic Notes: REPEAT?_

Ch. 4, pt. 1 under the cut! (skipping pts./chapters 2+3 for now, will get back to them later!) (beginning fic notes: here) (original fic outline: here)

- This chapter was super embarrassing omg Taichi WHY ARE YOU EMBARRASSING - Taichi voice “IT’S NOT MY FAULT” - ok but it actually isn’t maybe you’re ok Taichi [specific dialogue notes] - ‘wait you do THAT with him and you're just gonna LEAVE, that's even worse maybe?!’ tbh I agree with rambly Taichi here like (ok but jk jk but [Taichi avoided the BAD END?? ?]) (lbr if he had left and didn’t get to join on the dig eventually, well.....) (thinking about it I didn’t plan it this exact way but maybe subconsciously kind of had them stay together during the whole time because if they did separate who knows what could have happened to them) (basically them being around each other also can maybe help stop the loop?) - ‘but his skin is giving off a surprising amount of shine’ yeah Koushiro’s inner glow is REALLY going off here (lbr Koushiro is. pleased. yeah) (.... I didn’t plan this exactly this way either but legit now that I think about it this could parallel things too .....) - ‘ "shin-ji-te-ru" ("shinjiteru", "believe")’ this bit was explained in the notes for this part but also thinking about it (YEAH) (... ok this bit was planned but unplanned is) (maybe Koushiro subconsciously was getting some hope back from all of this yeah .....) (I was kinda thinking the new meeting with Taichi in this timeline kind of helps him subconsciously start believing in things [himself] again??) - ‘ I believe in you ‘ (that too) (re: Taichi) (lbr though he never stops believing in Taichi though) - ‘  He seems to not quite know what to do with himself still, when he looks up suddenly, as if sensing, and his black eyes stare right at Taichi. ’ ok this bit was planned a bit. Basically Koushiro was going about in a sort of mental daze earlier (because of the previous nights’ events too but also because of his dreams, the name in the back of his mind.... etc. etc.) but for once it was a more... pleasant one? anyhow, their subconscious both probably ping whenever the other’s around (naturally too) but probably extra so for Koushiro, yup. it doesn’t help that Koushiro’s hyper aware in canon too at many points like that comes with the Knowledge thing and having a sharp mind and noticing the little details yup - ‘ "...Your tie...?" ('I FORGOT MY TIE--') ‘ ok this part was NOT super intended but... “Tai” puns.... (a-ahahaha) (look, dubverse probably does exist in background timelines somewhere too, ok) (even though I don’t typically write in it anymore) (and I disliked a lot of the script changes/etc. even re: some important Taishiros) (..... negl the overly 90s vibe of the dub and their overall personalities/voice actors there still give me feelings too though yeah ;;) (so take this as a sort of mini tribute aha) (... oh also. still. maybe. “Ta-i-”--) - ‘ Koushiro interrupts him this time. "...! Your name -- I, um, didn't..." He suddenly seems like he's about to think hard, like a thought came to mind all of a sudden, and he wants to think about it but he's trying to keep his gaze focused on Taichi too, his mouth pursed but a bit uneven as he tries to keep ...steady. ‘ Again, relating to him trying to subconsciously remember Taichi’s name from the last part. (Koushiro’s trying to subconsciously keep him from leaving too, maybe) (they weren’t as in danger here this time since Taichi would have stayed in most instances but yeah, if either of them leaves...) (and um. no comment on ‘steady’) - "...I-It's Taichi. Yagami Taichi." There's a fraction of a section of silence. Koushiro keeps staring. (SUBCONSCIOUSLY REMEMBERING ALERT SUBCONSCIOUSLY REMEMBERING ALERT) (Koushiro’s probably like “.........” mentally right there) (even if it takes a fraction of a second for him to actually react yup) - ‘ "...Taichi-san, then." ‘ dun dun dunnnnn (SUBCONSCIOUSLY REMEMBERS THE “-SAN”) (AND THAT IT’S “TAICHI-SAN”) - "Normally, I'd call you Yagami-san." Taichi freezes. Koushiro's mouth quirks -- just slightly. "...But I think we've become too acquainted for that." (THAT TOO) (Koushiro in this verse is overall quite professional, so he WOULD have used Taichi’s last name with -san, not his first name, which indicates just a bit more closeness normally - while still being formal enough) (not in a professional/work setting, though, maybe) (basically Koushiro’s mind pinging him with ‘it’s Taichi-san’ ‘only Taichi-san’) (... Koushiro is stubborn like that ??) - ‘ "I... look, Koushiro? (He really deserves an honorific from Taichi's idiotic self, for once, but then again Taichi literally already used his name since...) ‘ (...since the night before, yes, Taichi) same thing here (Taichi subconsciously remembers to use ‘Koushiro’ sans honorific) (he does that normally with most people anyway, but Koushiro’s special yup) (because Koushiro doesn’t take offense to him using only ‘Koushiro’ when he normally might with someone he doesn’t know well or like, and that maybe makes Taichi feel kind of nice too) - ‘ I swear I don't want to hurt you or anything, I really really--" "You haven't hurt me." ‘ Taichi seriously did not want to hurt Koushiro ok Koushiro SERIOUSLY is not hurt by it ok (ok but this was also to emphasize yes it was consensual and yes they both very much enjoyed it) (... also Koushiro puts a freaking huge amount of trust in Taichi yup) -’  "Even during that," Koushiro adds, almost maddeningly. "...Taichi-san." Koushiro pauses, blinks a bit, suddenly. "...That wasn't where my train of thought was originally going, but it was..." Koushiro corrects himself. "What you... we... did..... it was nice. Taichi-san." ('Uh?!') "Very nice. ... You really haven't hurt me." ‘ (again, emphasized) ‘That wasn’t where my train of thought was originally going’ - it actually wasn’t, p-pfft. but yeah, Koushiro’s maybe uh. remembering the night before and realizing yeah, he should emphasize this and stop Taichi from freaking out further - ‘ ('"Nice?'"... "Very"? - Or? But-' 'Wait, what else can you really expect--?! Your sorry ass should be GRATEFUL he even called it 'nice' after that, he should be DROPKICKING YOU INTO THE STRATOSPHERE RIGHT ABOUT NOW--!!') ‘ (I’M SORRY TAICHI PICKING ON YOU IS FUN) (but yeah lbr Taichi you’re seriously lucky Koushiro is seriously too kind for his [and your] own good) - ‘ "N-No, I meant-" Taichi feels about ready to fall right where he's standing. "Not like that, but like - I don't want to hurt you. Koushiro. I really don't want to hurt you, I messed up, you don't deserve--" "You really haven't hurt me." Koushiro is insisting now, driving his gaze into Taichi, and Taichi's words falter and fall. He stares back at Koushiro. "I... you..." "It was... enjoyable." Koushiro is looking away again, and Taichi isn't sure if he should feel worse or not? Koushiro's eyes flicker back to Taichi. "What I'm trying to say, Taichi-san, is... I don't mind." "...But I'd like to know more about you, too." Taichi's mind freezes to a complete halt. Again. ‘ /DUN DUN DUNNNNN aaaand Koushiro drives the point home (also, when Koushiro looks away - Koushiro’s tendency to look away when he’s nervous or closed off, yeah?) (Taichi notices and he really hates seeing Koushiro worried/upset even moreso if it’s because of him so yeah) (this relates to a bit in pt. 2 as well... towards the end yeah .....) (but it’s ok Taichi, Koushiro was nervous because of all of this ok) (.... also Koushiro was maybe a bit calculated here too like he often is when he’s trying to make a point, especially a serious point) ... ok thinking about it too I should probably mention this now, but. So in this universe, it’s a ‘nevermet’ AU, right? in the original fic outline, I mention how the timelines become so messed up even nevermet AUs form? well, I imagine in quite a number of them, they might subconsciously be trying to stay away from each other (or not interfere with each other) - this later kind of relates to Taichi speaking with the younger Koushiro in his dream towards the end. Each of the two eventually blames themselves, subconsciously, and they don’t want the other to keep dying because of them. They know it’s pointless to keep trying, but... (ok but they seriously need to stop blaming themselves they were kids they were kids they didn’t ask for this ok. ok.) Well, so, in some nevermet AUs, depending, they’re maybe subconsciously putting themselves far away from the other, as if maybe that’d also help keep the loop stable or something, somehow. Because if they never meet, maybe the other won’t die, right? The other of them will be safe, right? It’s better this way, right? (..... hahahaha) So in the above section - Koushiro’s basically subconsciously making a decision. To pursue this timeline with Taichi further, yes. Maybe this time, they can... - ‘ Koushiro looks down. "....I'm not very good with feelings, though." ‘ .... he really isn’t (especially not in this verse) (I’M SORRY KOUSHIRO)

(but in canon too) - ‘ "K-Koushiro..." Taichi's voice is a bit weak. "N-no, you... you deserve so much better than this kind of - one night stand, or one night stands, or - I'm really bad at this, too--" "I'd be fine with just one night stands." Taichi is about to open his mouth to protest again (something like 'don't be fine with that!!') ‘ ... yeahhhhh so if it wasn’t obvious enough in fic basically, Koushiro is ... struggling ..... a lot in this timeline, yeah. (also indirectly paralleled by the original Koushiro/our Koushiro struggling) he’s probably been through Depression Hell and back multiple times even (... it’s probably chronic by this point, to be honest?) (I think canon Koushiro probably deals with it a bit easier, but still... it has a tendency to resurface down the road, and especially with this timeline) (not helped by the adoption reveal still not having happened) and tbh (he probably would be fine with just one night stands.) (but Koushiro that’s the wrong way to go about it here, maybe) ok but Taichi’s thinking right here yeah (’don’t be fine with that!!’) - ‘ but Koushiro shuts him up with his next line -- "...But I really wouldn't mind more than that, too." "When I said I want to get to know Taichi-san, I .... meant it." Taichi feels himself physically drain. ('M-maybe it's ok?? Maybe I haven't royally screwed up completely yet??') ('Maybe....') ‘ ok so here (dun dun dunnn) Taichi’s giving in yeah ok but also he was probably mentally freaking out thinking like -- Our War Game kind of, you know?? like the Taiora wasn’t canon intended yeah (it was due to staff not knowing about Sorato endgame) and I don’t intend it here either (Taiora’s actually kind of like... close to the very bottom of my ship preferences I’m sorry [even moreso than Koumi tbh there I said it I’d still take Koumi in more certain ways/fanworks I’m just extremely picky with it] and I very much prefer it [too] portrayed only in very specific ways though [same goes for Taiorato though I’m more open to that] like. again. I’m a multishipper I don’t mind fanworks and very much enjoy alternative portrayals too ok please leave me be. it’s just not in here though) but still, a similar feeling - he doesn’t want to screw this up, and definitely not with Koushiro (and this .....) (also, this kind of relates to mentioned Sorato in this universe a bit too, yeah.) (he’s not jealous over Sora, but he is maybe scared of losing more friends and being alone -- because this Taichi only had them for so long) (because he didn’t have Koushiro) [this chapter was kind of long so for longer ones I may revise these later!] [to be continued]

Taishirou Fic Notes: REPEAT?_

(For Chapters/Parts 1+2) Under the cut!... (... There’ll be spoilers for the entirety of the fic) (This is a preliminary draft/outline until I can make it neater ? looking yeah pfft) (Also see the original fic outline for more earlier elaboration)

-- Chapters 1+2 --

- These chapters are somewhat partly self explanatory; the ‘prologue’ of sorts that set everything up. I think they were the third/fourth or so pieces that I wrote / outlined for this thing? (After the couple of chapters towards the very end...) - This entire idea spawned when I was thinking of Taishiro AU ideas [including previous ones I’ve had] and basically going ‘what’s a Koushiro AU I hadn’t thought of yet??’ - Somehow my mind went ‘ARCHAEOLOGIST ..... KOUSHIRO’ ??? ‘PLUS TIMELOOPS / KAGEDAZE TAISHIRO AU’ ??? PLUS ‘COLLEGE AU’ ???? - Essentially I was thinking of careers Koushiro could have in the real world that would a) be suitable for him b) satisfy his thirst for Knowledge [while also relating to how Knowledge is used in the timeloops] c) would take him a while to complete, but be very worthwile to him in the end d) would have some mystery / intrigue involved, especially when connecting to the Digital World e) would keep him close to Taichi [because he relates tech with it, and is involved in higher education / etc., eventually it could lead to him still becoming a researcher like in the canon epilogue in the end, or in other spinoff AU thoughts... also Taichi having a law-related career that keeps him close to Koushiro] ... etc. etc. - then my mind went ‘OH THAT’S A GOOD IDEA I CAN ALSO RELATE IT TO ‘THAT THING’ YEAH’ (i.e. THE WELL the well where HE FINDS HIS CREST) - however in the back of my mind I was probably also thinking of a super-cute old Cardcaptor Sakura series 1 episode / moment in which then still mostly newly introduced “rival” to Sakura, Syaoran Li, watches Fujitaka Kinomoto’s archaeology presentation. Syaoran grows more and more interested the point he’s internally [and externally, but ‘hiding’ it (well ? from Fujitaka, badly otherwise)] cheering over it when Fujitaka offers to show him more archaeology related things in the future - only to immediately find out next Fujitaka is Sakura Kinomoto’s father [hahaaaa]. Of course Syaoran x Sakura becomes the canon couple in the end anyhow [hahaaaaa. sorry Syaoran ilu but you were pretty amusing back then and also v. tsun in that ‘fail’ kind of way] (some of his early tsun expressions kinda remind me of Adventure Taichi too??) (...Our War Game Taichi even kind of ??) - So my mind might have subconsciously been ‘combining’ all those things (along with an image in my head of photographer Koushiro from Tri studying things in the Digital World) and basically turning that implied Syaoran/Sakura + Archaeology things [if indirectly] into Taishiro + Archaeology AU yes - (also I was following CCS’s new Clear Card Arc at the time in both manga form first and then anime form, so ... yes it was at the back of my mind) - The first lines that basically spurred on this AU were the opening rambles / summary but more notably what immediately came to mind was Koushiro’s “Oh, I’M adopted.” - line, in response to Taichi’s dumb question literally HE WROTE HIMSELF (Koushiro - unfortunately - never has a scene in-show where he actually talks about it with the other Chosen, not even in an 02 era cd drama where he was literally visiting his biological parents’ graves and right after on the way home runs into the other Adventure Chosen sans Taichi and Yamato - and he STILL doesn’t even bring his biological parents up at all, not even that he was just visiting them like ‘oh, I was just on my way back from...’ - so essentially this is him saying it right off the bat and startling Taichi indirectly with it while he’s at it.) - It also prevents having to take forever to set that particular reveal up ... while at the same time taking forever to set that reveal up in Adventure universe and with more impact otherwise hahaaa. (CRY) - So, these two chapters are the setup. - You may notice there’s a feeling of ‘something’s definitely not quite right here’ or ‘something’s up’ all through these parts, the writing style (I basically kind of... mentally storyboard, then translate that into an outline, then storyboard again, then attempt to write anything etc. etc.), (but also the kind of ‘limited’ writing style, too) and basically the entire fic. That’s the timeloops effect lingering in the background, impacting events / feelings / actions, etc. Even the slightest things like Koushiro’s expressions as he regards Taichi, the tiniest movements he makes, or Taichi’s mind running a little (A LOT) more wildly than usual. - When Taichi first hears Koushiro’s ‘(smooth) voice drifting through the open door’, that’s basically the timeloops effect slamming into him right from the get-go. His mind is running wildly subconsciously too like ‘WHAT? WHAT?? WHAT???’ because he’s so confused / startled / scared / basically majorly freaked out to the point of a feeling of dread / horror etc. l-lolll poor Taichi I’M SORRY I love you really (this is also the KageDaze inspired effect because poor Hibiya there, too, [the boy] is basically this through most of the song) [specific dialogue notes] -  ‘ok, he's not really a "kid", he's a fellow adult, but Taichi's mind seems to insist on calling him that, for some reason....’ and all of the ‘his age’ bits etc. - Taichi’s mind is subconsciously relating Koushiro’s actual age to him (‘he’s younger than you think!!! you KNEW HIM IN SCHOOL!!! BEFORE!!!’) except he’s not fully realizing, of course. - short-cut spiky red hair and pure black eyes ('why are you staring so intently at his eyes, idiot!!') Again, timeloops effect slamming. Taichi’s recognizing Koushiro’s features right away and what stands out the most are his hair [dark red] and his eyes [somehow pure black (...lol fandom injoke?)]. This also relates in ch. 4, “Bridge” - when young Taichi notices Koushiro’s red hair ‘stands out the most’ in the light, and Koushiro’s (eyes are) staring right at him (because that young Koushiro’s becoming aware of the loops and freaked out / feeling dread crashing into him, himself). (also other similar parts of the fic) This also relates to novels Koushiro knowing he ‘stands out like a sore thumb’ in class (and how that line relates later with the Izumis / his adoption, as well.) - social sciences? Psychology? Health in general? Science itself? ARCHAEOLOGY??! Basically Koushiro is a freaking genuis [timeloops.... effect] [but also natural hhhh-ha] and subconsciously-or-not relating his career to as many ‘Knowledge’-gathering fields as possible, yeah. SLOW DOWN KOUSHIRO - and he's talking so animatedly and precisely and smartly because again, Child of Knowledge / timeloops. (He’d probably be an amazing professional teacher too negl) (and also how do both his seiyuu/voice actors sound so good HOW). Ok but for real, this is also simultaneously Koushiro’s ‘professional mode’ and / or his ‘mask’ so to speak. He’s enjoying it too, mostly, but... at the same time, it’s like going through the motions.... Koushiro ;A;/ - Taichi keeps staring at him, how is he so... pretty - ('wait what?!') ('but he kind of is, in that way where he has this glow about him-') Timeloops effect reminding him yes, Taichi, you are definitely attracted to Koushiro Izumi (maybe a bit too much) Koushiro’s ‘glow’ is basically him becoming animated / excited whenever he talks about Knowledge-related topics he’s particularly interested in! (But also kind of like... his inner... glow ehehhh....) - The presenter (Izumi?) turns around and stares at him directly, sharply, (kindly?) with those black eyes and says semi-brightly despite the situation he's in, in front of this room full of dumb college kids like Taichi himself - "Oh, I'M adopted." Dun dun dunnnn (hey, Taichi, did you REALLY get Koushiro’s last name/name or-) (...he didn’t) Now Koushiro’s directly focusing his attentions on Taichi, subconsciously recognizing him while he’s at it. He’s staring ‘kindly’ because of the warm feelings his subconscious / past self has towards Taichi; while also out of genuine kindness / intrigue from this universes’ Koushiro himself. Koushiro’s definitely feeling that ‘pull’ but at the same time warning bells are going off like crazy in his head too, and maybe subconsciously freaking him out too (although he’s a little more logical about it than Taichi, maybe... ...? or trying to not panic before he finishes this thing anyway) - After the presentation is over, the kid is gathering up his things outside the room, and fixing his slightly moved tie all neatly, and Taichi approaches him awkwardly from behind. THE TRUE MEETING and basically they’re both subconsciously knowing they were going to have to talk here but .... - "Izumi" turns to stare at him, more intently, now. "It's all right. ...?" (He was a little confused as to why this cool looking kid [??] bothered apologizing to him for that, but he accepts it...) Koushiro’s staring intently because he’s so hyper-focused subconsciously, but also because he likes giving his full attention where it matters in general, too. Also ‘cool looking kid’ is Taichi’s mind thinking maybe that’s how Koushiro might see him, basically. (TAICHI PLS....) (ok but he also added the ‘??’ because he realizes... yeah TAICHI PLS) (Koushiro was a bit surprised this boy actually did think to apologize, but....) - Koushiro smiles slightly. Actually smiles. KOUSHIRO’S SMILES ARE VERY IMPORTANT IN THIS FIC OK Koushiro smiles so impassioned-ly at the start of everything (especially in this verse, where he rarely gets the chance to smile AT ALL it doesn’t help that this Koushiro didn’t go to the Digital World, didn’t make any close friends, DIDN’T MEET TENTOMON OR TAICHI and etc....) - so that when this Koushiro smiles genuinely, it’s SUPER IMPORTANT, OK - "Are you interested? I'm afraid the next dig is already scheduled very soon, but..." "Wait, you're leaving, soon-?!" ('Shut up, you idiot!!') Koushiro is looking at him oddly now - Taichi’s mind is going even more wild with the warning bells and basically yelling ‘SOMETHING’S DEFINITELY WRONG HERE DON’T LET HIM GO IF YOU LET HIM GO HE’S GOING TO UP AND LEAVE AND YOU’LL NEVER SEE HIM AGAIN !!!!!’ (Also his mind running wild kind of parallels Ep 21′s inspirations too??) (don’t forget Taichi hasn’t had a lot of his ‘character development’ here as well) Koushiro’s looking at him oddly because he’s having a similar feeling but trying to figure out what the heck is up with this and ... this boy... ? - Koushiro is about ready to have to leave again, and Taichi thinks as fast as he can. Taichi’s not ... as known for his thinking deeply in canon when he’s younger (lol) (well, um, pre...? SkullGreymon ? anyhow maybe w-wah) and considering WARNING BELLS he’s basically thinking of the ‘last resort’ type thing he can say / ask / (yell?) / etc. (or - BAM, TIMELINE OVER BAD END). - "W-Wait, which area are you in-?" Koushiro turns with a raised eyebrow and another slight smile. Koushiro’s raising his eyebrow / smiling because he’s basically internally thinking ‘...This one, hmm ..... ‘ - He lives in fucking Odaiba. Literally a block away from Taichi. ('SHIIIIIIIIIIT') ('TAICHI YOU ARE AN IDIOT') ... oh. (yeah) (TIMELOOOOOOPS EFFEEEEEECT) (TAICHI YOU ARE AN IDIOT) -- Chapter 2 -- (kind of) - He doesn't know how it happens, but in some other universe somewhere, he probably ends up not walking Koushiro home and regretting it for the rest of his life when Koushiro just ups and leaves on an archaeology dig somewhere and Taichi never sees him again - ('Seriously, stop thinking!!') So yeah, that part about ‘YOU’LL NEVER SEE HIM AGAIN’ ?? [Taichi(+Koushiro) avoided the BAD END ?? ?] [to be continued]

sort-of-Taishiro fic Snippet (?)

Something like a very tiny snippet of potential Digimon AU x Sailor Moon slice-of-life mini-crossover ficlets in which the Chosen are lightly bounced off against the (civilian) Senshi (and maybe learn some things about themselves)? *In this verse the Chosen and Senshi both live in their respective areas of Japan within the same universe, but neither group have met before or are aware of each others’ experiences concerning the ‘fate of the Earth’ / their ‘roles’ (i.e. both stories happen semi-simultaneously against each other in the background of each respective ‘verse, but aren’t majorly connected. The various main characters do come across each other in slice-of-life ways / interactions, though.) (Featuring hinting of my [ollld] post-02 / pre-Tri airing OC verse!Taishiro maybe combined with hintings of my fic Repeat verse!Taishiro but as another AU because I stg neither version won’t leave me alone) (as a semi canon compliant [no Tri] post-02 / pre-epilogue lead-in, too) (Also hints of angst, not really extreme here but...)

Taichi can't help himself. He shifts into position, crouching -- smirks, just a little -- “You're pretty amazing” “For a girl--” Within not even a half-second -- -- The volleyball is blazing past him, missing his face by not even a half-inch. Aino Minako is smirking back at the end of her lowered hands, still clenched into position, herself. Taichi is torn between being (as he expected) frozen in half-shock (...?) and bursting out laughing. (In the end, he doesn't laugh, and remains half-frozen.) But the "smirk" eventually relaxes off his face, and he grins at her. "...Point taken." "Do you always say that when you face off against a girl?" Minako laughs, almost brightly, as she moves back into standing position, hands now firmly on her hips. Confident smirk still on her face. "...Not really," Taichi admits, standing back upwards, himself; hands now half-in his pockets. Minako raises an eyebrow, her own smirk fading into a sort of surprised, neutral look. "...Huh. It almost sounded -- like you were familiar with saying that." Taichi nods -- blinks a bit. ...Frowns. Nods again. "...I don't know. Maybe -- maybe I... was. Once. ...But it's nothing exact." (Maybe-somewhere-else-once-- but --) "..." "...It's not about a girl, isn't it," Minako says it suddenly, snapping him out of his -- trance. Taichi freezes -- Face instantly turning red -- (A certain 'someone's' image drifting into his mind--) "W-Wait, what do you mean by--!" "It's written on your face, now," Minako adds, teasingly. (Taichi tries to force the blush away.) "I'm the "Goddess of Love", after all~" (‘Ai-no-Megami’) * "...You should tell him." * "...Thanks." * (He means it) * "Don't mention it." * (It’s sunset) (Behind [their own] school) Koushiro is waiting for him, there. ...Gentle, calm smile on his face. Almost strangely so -- ...even for Koushiro. (As if Koushiro had suddenly become shy) (but that can’t be right) * (He doesn't tell him.) *
