For Yamato it was the 6th time he tried, he tried many times, he made plans and none of them turned out as he expected, many unforeseen events had happened, between his studies, Mimi used to be very busy, the Digimon thing...
Nothing seemed to convince him, that little box had been with him for a long time and he knew that this was the moment, a spring afternoon, it had been a long time since they both had an escape day so I don't doubt it...
Mimi was looking at the passage with her back turned, suddenly she took out that little box and stood in position, when she turned around...
A day for a walk, a day with the family, soon it would no longer be just 3, it was close to the little girl being born, both the parents and the little one were very excited, soon they would be more at home.
The Ishida Tachikawa family was very happy to be able to share that beautiful day for a walk together watching the first cherry blossoms of the season. Next year the 4 of them could all see them together. They could not be excited to know what the welcome into the world of their little flower would be like.

A Colab among us, if we said yes, yes, we would have to make this family for this day, since our first colab we have captured moments of this family and we are excited to be able to make one more member of this family.

Crossover: Movie "Enchanted"
With a delayed collaboration where we decided to capture our own version of the Enchanted movie.
And this time we decided to work together for this week (Anka's drawing idea) and combining our styles that are different and I liked the final result â€ïžâ€ïž
Note: Posting a continuation of my Regency Era AU from last year for the prompts "moving in together" and "marriage proposal", neither of which are related to the plot of the chapter at all đ€« In this AU I decided to use made up English last names for the characters since the setting requires it, so I hope you donât mind the oddness of that.Â
Part 1 || AO3/FFN â Part 2 || AO3/FFN
â¶ïž Snippet â¶ïž
Knowing that he would occasionally get the chance to go back home during his retreat at Sunnyhill Manor, Mattâs luggage had not consisted of much, but the same could not be said for Mimi. When they stood at the entrance loading the trunks into the carriage Matt and Tai watched with mouths hanging open as the servants attempted to fit everything to the best of their capabilities.
âMaybe you ought to leave a few things behind,â Sora said with a sheepish smile, her one hand resting around Mimiâs shoulders as they watched two maids attempt to fit a few circular boxes through a window of the carriage.
âI most definitely will not. It could lead to a major mismatch of my outfits if even one little thing was missing.â Mimi responded with a frown, confused that her friend would even bother to suggest something like this.
âI donât see how you will be able to sit in there with all the-â Tai commented, stopping mid sentence to wave his hands haphazardly as he gestured at the state of Mimiâs carriage. âUnless of course, you donât have a problem riding with Matt.â
At his words, Mimi blew up her cheeks in a pout and stomped down the entrance steps to inspect her carriage.
âYou just had to say that,â Sora said as she moved closer to her husband and smacked his arm lightly.
âLook at the state of the thing!â Tai argued back even as he linked his arms with her.
Matt held back an eye roll and turned his attention towards Mimi, who was busy peeping into her carriage from every direction, hoping to find enough space for her petite frame to fit inside with all the hefty trunks. Somehow, the sight of her ticked him off. Maybe it was because of the alcohol he had consumed last night still running through his veins or the fact that he hadnât gotten enough rest in the morning to be truly ready for the difficult day ahead, but he no longer felt like putting himself down to make her comfortable. Especially since she had had no problem avoiding him the previous night as she spent every minute stuck to the Doctor.
He had done her a favour by inviting her to his home, the least she could do was tolerate being in the same carriage as him for a few meagre hours.
âI donât have time for this,â Matt muttered under his breath and thundered down the stone steps swiftly towards where his own carriage stood parked.
âMimi, come on, get in his carriage or youâll be left behind.â
Soraâs voice floated in his ears as he spoke with the driver about the route to take and checked the condition of the horses. From the corner of his eye, he saw that Sora had managed to pry Mimi away from her packed-to-the-brim carriage and was now coaxing her to sit inside the other one. He attempted to drag out the conversation with the driver till he could see that Mimi was settled in. When Matt finally moved forward to take a seat inside, he felt a familiar tap on his shoulder.
âIâll see you in a few weeks.â Tai smiled at him when he turned around so he nodded silently in acknowledgement.
Before Matt could turn back, however, Tai suddenly leaned in closer and whispered in his ear.
âYou always say I know you better than anyone, so have faith in my judgement alright?â
When Tai stepped back the smile on his face was almost negligible but the satisfied glint in his eyes was hard to miss. Matt wanted to call after him and ask him what he meant by that but his friend had already begun to climb the steps back into his house, his arms draped around his wifeâs waist as he said something to her and both of them laughed loudly as the doors opened to them welcome them in. Only Sora turned around once to wave at Mimi and give him a courteous bow before the couple disappeared out of sight.
Note: I haven't been able to write on time as much as I wanted to, maybe by tomorrow I will post my Day 5,6,7 entries but until then I wanted to share something, so here is a prompt I got a year ago that was just sitting in my drafts for no reason! Enjoy đđ
Prompt: "Your heart is beating too fast to be close to someone you don't care about."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~ Listen to my Heartbeat ~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Digital World throwing them off track without a warning was something that didnât make Mimi bat an eyelid anymore, and she was pretty much used to the ground beneath them slipping away in a flash, taking away with it any progress the group had made so far. So of course, she was unamused with the current situation, which was her being stuck in a cave with what looked like a light drizzle falling outside. The funny thing was, that while she couldnât remember the last time sheâd seen rain in the Digital World, what she could remember was that she had never been stuck alone with the blond standing tall at the entrance of the cave.
Yamato had his back to her, as he peered outside, and though Mimi couldnât see his face from where she was sitting, she knew it was probably scrunched up in a frown as he inspected the raindrops that settled on his hand. She half turned to pass a comment to Palmon and was bitterly reminded once again, that the only occupants of the cave were her and Yamato, and that the whereabouts of their partner Digimon and the rest of their friends were currently unknown to them. She definitely felt anxious, sitting there without Palmon to keep her company or spring into action to protect her if required, and wondered if Yamato too felt a similar unease, though would he answer honestly if she were to raise this question out loud?
Her eyes wandered over to Yamato again, and she was a little taken aback, maybe even slightly jealous of how much the scene suited him. With his pale, yellow hair shining in contrast to the dim, rocky walls of the cave and his lean figure just rightly fitting in the narrow crevice, nonchalantly bathing in the faint rays of light that escaped through the cloudy sky and surrounded him, he looked nothing less than a muse artists would stroke carefully onto their canvases or poets would write sonnets about. She held back a sigh, it was as if the colour blue, or rather the emotion blue, was meant to be embodied by him, and to Mimi that was a feat worthy of being envious over.
âWhat should we do?â She decided to speak up, as sitting around and admiring Yamatoâs perfect features was something that she could do from anywhere, getting out of here and reuniting with Palmon took priority for now.
Yamato turned, and as expected, with a frown on his face he fixed his eyes on her, and she noticed a hint of surprise reflected in them, as if he had not expected her to follow his lead.
Which was something Mimi couldnât deny either, she was more of a âmy way or high wayâ kind of girl, but when it came to things related to the Digital World, all of them had adjusted to a pattern that was hard to shake off. If something goes wrong, look to Taichi, and if Taichi is not around, turn to Yamato. It was simple and easy to remember, and pretty much the mantra that had managed to keep them all in one piece during their many escapades, even though lately they hadnât had much of a success with it since both Taichi and Yamato were butting heads so frequently. Mimi was liking this new side of Yamato however, it was different from what she remembered of him from their childhood, and his recent tenacity was something she could relate to and even found herself drawn towards.
âI donât think we should move about carelessly.â
She raised her eyebrows, well that was unexpected, and even a little bit disappointing. She couldâve expected that kind of statement from Jou or Koushiro, but given the recent circumstances, Mimi assumed that the blond would be ready to go all out at any given moment. She stood up, dusting off the dirt from her skirt, she wasnât going to sit around and wait to be found.
âSuit yourself, Iâm going to go look for Palmon and the others.â
Mimi moved to make her way out of the cave, but Yamato raised his arm, blocking the entrance as he shot her a glare, âIâm worried about Gabumon and Takeru too, but you saw what happened, do you really think itâs a good idea to go out there without our Digimon partners?â
He was referring to the attack that had broken the group from their brief moment of slumber and had unexpectedly split them up. A shiver ran down Mimiâs arms as she remembered the daunting size of the Digimon that had attacked them out of nowhere, and internally she couldnât help but agree with what her senior was saying. It was not a good idea to move around carelessly, but it was an idea and thatâs what she needed right now instead of sitting still and waiting for someone to come calling.
âIâm not saying youâre wrong,â Mimi began, raising her eyes to meet his frowning gaze, âbut maybe thatâs what the others are thinking too, so how will we find each other if no one makes a move? We didnât come to the Digital World to sit around and wait for help to find us, at least I know I didnât.â
She knew she had hit a nerve and she did feel a bit guilty about it, ever since the whole thing with Meicoomon had begun the one who had been advocating for action the most had been Yamato, so for her to suddenly chide him about sitting tight was a low blow on her account. But she couldnât help it, Mimi could feel the restlessness racing through her veins for every minute they spent together inside the cave. She had never spent so much time alone with him at such close proximity and the new feelings that were being stirred up in her heart when she looked at him, broad shoulders firm with determination as he refused to lower his arm and allow her to pass through, were completely unfamiliar to her.
âSo you would gladly leave me behind?â
His voice was just a tone above a whisper but it was almost as if it rang through the cave like a loud, blaring alarm. It takes two to tango, is what his captivatingly blue eyes were saying as they fiercely peered into her own, if Mimi wasnât afraid to cut corners then neither was he, which made it all the more difficult for her to look away and actually respond to his question. Not that coming up with an answer to his question would be easy, the way he was staring at her made it seem like he could look directly into her soul and would be able to sniff out any lies.
But Mimi had managed to dye her hair pink without her parents finding out until she walked out of her room with her hair bouncing about like a cart of cotton candy had exploded on it. She could handle one blond tundra.
âGladly,â Mimi said, her voice slightly quivering, but still managed to resound firmly around them. She took a step forward, hoping that the threat of proximity would make Yamato lower his arm and give her the space to make her exit, but instead, he just tightened his grip on the rocky wall, muscles taut around his arms as he continued to stare her down, challenging her to come even closer.
She swallowed a gulp, he was the last person she expected to raise the stakes in a situation like this, what she had expected was that heâd get embarrassed and sheâd take that opportunity to take the upper hand and make her escape. However, in the moment it was Mimi who felt embarrassed as she realised that if she raised her fingers just a little bit, she might be able to trace the shape of the tense muscles that clung to the white fabric of the shirt, and as crazy as it sounded to her, thatâs all she could think about as they stood close facing each other down with such a fiery determination for perhaps the first time since they had met on the bus to summer camp all those years ago.
Why Yamato had decided to meet her challenge was still something she was unsure of, under normal circumstances he mightâve silently glared daggers at her and focused his attention elsewhere, thatâs how he usually fought with people who werenât Taichi, but then again Mimi and he had rarely ever disagreed on anything before, so there was no way for her to know how he would push back in an argument against her. She wished somewhere deep down, that if this was how things were going to go down, then she had been better off not knowing at all.
Mimi squeezed her eyes shut and tried to get the image of the blond looming over her in all his handsomeness out of her mind, what was important right now was winning this game so she could put some distance between the two of them and never have to deal with all these feelings stirring up inside her ever again. All she needed were a couple of words that would do the trick, they didnât even need to sting per se but just surprise him enough for her to get a shot at creating an opening in the barrier that he had put up, metaphorically and physically both.
âIâm not intimidated by you.â She began, raising her voice by a pitch that made him wince as he looked over at her with humorous doubt, âIn fact, Iâm rarely intimidated by people I donât care much about. And youâre one of them.â Mimi folded her arms across her chest and met his eyes with equal vigour, letting him know through her posture that she too was firm in her decisions and he wouldnât be able to change her mind with a few lousy tactics. Lying wasnât something she was particularly good at but the tension in the air gave her the strength to step out of her comfort zone and make a bold statement that would surely hit all the right notes and make Yamato angry enough to lose his cool.
But lately, he had been full of surprises and Mimi should've known better.
Just for a moment, she saw anger flash across Yamato's eyes before he covered it up with an expression she did not recognize. The corner of his mouth curved into a ruthless smirk as without a warning he lowered his head to level with her face, the tip of their noses now only centimetres apart. His warm breath brushed past her chin, which considering the chilliness surrounding them would have been a welcome feeling if Mimiâs whole body hadnât frozen at the sudden lack of distance between the two of them. She wanted to lift her hands and push them against his toned chest so he would be forced to take a few steps back, she wanted to turn on her heels and stalk back into the inner depths of the cave so the cold air could help douse the fiery excitement that was now rushing through her veins.
But her hands and her feet refused to listen to her demands and stayed put, she felt a hot, burning sensation take over her cheeks as Yamatoâs gaze dropped to her lips for just a brief moment, before his eyes met hers again, shining with an emotion she couldnât find the right words to describe with. Mimi could feel her heart thumping rapidly against her chest, its hammering drowned out the faint pitter-patter of the rain outside in her ears, and she meekly prayed that the loud sound couldnât reach Yamato because the air of confidence she had put on would crumble the minute he knew how nervous being this close to him made her feel.
Her prayers went unheard of course as the smirk on Yamatoâs widened with amusement.
âAre you sure about that, princess? Because your heart is beating too fast to be close to someone you donât care about.â
A soft whimper escaped her lips, and Mimi was ashamed of her reaction but her voice seemed to have gotten lost somewhere deep inside her throat. It was almost unbelievable that she was losing a battle of stubbornness against Yamato of all people, so all Mimi could do was blame the change in her attitude on the stupidly cold cave that made her long for the warmth of excitement that came with being the absolute centre of Yamatoâs attention. She also blamed the Digimon that appeared out of nowhere and separated their little group in such an odd manner. Because she was sure that if a few more of their friends and their Digimon partners were around, this disagreement of theirs would have ended with both of them huffing and puffing and turning away from each other, not with their faces hovering so close that a single a push or a trip of her feet could send her lips crashing onto his-
âYamato san, Yamato san, can you hear me?â
The two teens immediately pulled back at the sound of their friendâs voice. Mimi took a few steps back into the cave, her hands pressed to her cheek as she tried to hide the redness across her face. While Yamato ended up stepping out of the cave and into the rain, his pale cheeks however, betrayed no hint of embarrassment, only his chest fell and rose irregularly as he took a few deep breaths.
âYamato san, can you hear me?â
The two turned their attention to the source of the voice, Yamato's digivice which was attached to his pantâs belt loop. Frowning, the blond removed it from his pants and raised it towards his mouth, responding in a hesitant tone.
âKoushiro?â
âYes! Iâm glad I was able to connect with you too. Iâve gotten hold of everyone else, well except Mimi san but I was planning to reach out to her next.â
The digivice being used as a walkie-talkie was something new to both of them, but if someone was capable of figuring that out it was Koushiro. Yamato lowered the digivice, holding it between the two of them so Mimi could lean in closer and listen better too.
âMimiâs with me.â
It was a simple statement, a factual one in fact, but the words made Mimiâs stomach churn unbearably. She wanted to slap herself across the face just to get out of this stupor she seemed to be under, Yamato and she had never been anything more than casual friends, and she should know better than to dream of something more.
âI see...Thatâs...uh thatâs good to hear.â
Koushiroâs voice seemed more timid than earlier, as if he was not happy to hear about how the two of them had ended up together. Yamato too must have noticed the change in their friendâs voice as he scowled at the device in his hand, possibly annoyed that Koushiro would take a dire situation like this and make it about his feelings for the brunette.
âWhat do we need to do next?â Yamato cut right to the chase, the urgency in his voice made it seem like he wanted to put an end to the whole dilemma of being stuck alone with Mimi as soon as possible and that finally made the jumbled-up feelings inside of her calm down for a minute.
âLet me explain the rendezvous location to youâŠâ
Mimi tuned out the conversation, knowing that Yamato would guide her in the right direction, she took that time to collect herself instead. By the time they left the cave and followed Koushiroâs directions to where they would meet up with their friends, the surge of emotions sheâd felt by simply being around Yamato alone began to simmer down. The two walked in silence, with Mimi trailing slightly behind. She was dragging her feet across the ground so slowly, which came as a surprise to Yamato and he would often turn to check if she was still around. He must have thought her behaviour odd, considering how aggressively Mimi had wanted to get out of the cave to go look for Palmon a while ago.
But now, she knew that the minute the two would reunite with their friends the problems surrounding the Digital World would take centre stage in both their minds. Until the battle was over the two would probably never get the chance to think about what had almost happened between them in the cave. What Mimi feared the most, however, was that both of them would eventually forget the heated moment they had shared and never again make an attempt to get close to each other.
Which is why she walked slowly, to keep the memory of Yamatoâs mesmerising blue eyes staring at her lips fresh in her mind for as long as she could. Deep down she hoped that Yamato would do the same, because maybe, just maybe if both of them held onto the memory of their tryst tightly, it wouldnât wither out as a dream and remain rooted in their minds as something real for years to come.
Yamato looked a bit ridiculous in that bathtub that didn't fit the two of them, but Mimi insisted, she said that it would be fun to bathe together on their first day in that house, it was their home, their new home, and she was fascinated by the European-style bathtub that had , in Japan they were not so common, but coincidentally that floor had one and for her it was "the sign".
Yamato still did not believe that it had happened due to the simple fact that the floor did not have an elevator but did have a European-style bathtub that made him change his mind.
- As in Nana! It's the sign - she said very happy with bright eyes. Yamato could not resist those little eyes, even though it was apparently hard, the lone wolf did not resist the request of his "hachiko".
He laughed when he remembered such an anime that he had been forced to watch, Mimi loved that anime/manga and now without a doubt I understood a little more what it all meant to her.
So I didn't mind looking ridiculous inside that bathtub, he had never felt so comfortable to feel her so close, how she took care of him... That was her first home even though it was a whim seen in an anime, even though he could have pampered her with his whims.
You will not regret anything just to see her so happy and smiling.

Double collaboration today

(Image with reference use, all due respect to cars and without lucrative ends, only from fans to fans)
Mimi had come of age and as a birthday party she decided to celebrate it with her friends in a bar, it would be her first time consuming alcoholic beverages and she had to take advantage of the fact that she was still on vacation at the University.
Yamato watched her as her friend drank and somehow it reminded her of him when he had his first drunk except it wasn't intense like Mimi.
Without realizing it, it was past 2 in the morning and it was time to go, but when he realized it, he didn't know when the chestnut disappeared from his sight. He had promised to take him back to his house, but now he doesn't know. where it gone.
He decided to ask his friends and saw a quite euphoric Taichi from the drink who told him that Mimi had just left, the blonde decided to say goodbye quickly to find his friend.
Leaving the place, he saw her jumping and singing like a girl, so he started on his way to his motorcycle to go meet the chestnut.
"Come on, go up, it's time to go," says the blonde.
The brunette stops and looks at him with her cheeks red from drunkenness and because he saw her making a fool of herself, once he gets on the motorcycle the blonde lets out a little laugh, with this he will have fun the next day bothering his friend for so many embarrassments that he put her through in public and this would be a unique opportunity before she takes revenge.
The brunette looks at him with inflated cheeks because she knows that the next day she won't remember anything about this day and her blond friend will be there for revenge.
A bit late but here is track 4 with another collab as usual among us.
