“ Mimi-kun, it was your turn to take care of the emergency rations.
You need to keep a better eye on it ! ”
“ But it’s so heavy ! ” - Mimi ( dismayed voice )
“ Don’t be so selfish !- ” - Jou ( getting frustrated )
“ Now, now!... ” - Taichi interrupts
[ Adventure Episode 02 ]
“ Aah, sorry !... ” - Jou ( holding hand up in apology )
“ Oh, honestly !... [ “Mou !...”] ” - Mimi
( when Jou accidentally steps on the back of Mimi’s shoe,
causing her to trip, but he runs to immediately give it back + apologize,
even when it meant them possibly missing out on food )

Commentary:
I’d be lying if I said my favorite friendship/forever OTP wasn’t also Taishiro(u)
[ Taichi x Koushiro(u) (Izzy) ]
... though I’ve also already done some photosets with them such as this one
However, as a friendship specifically, ( but also as a ship / WLW OTP )
SORA + MIMI have MY HEART as well
and ALWAYS HAVE since I first saw (particularly) the 2nd half of Adventure*.
(*I originally started on the U.S. dub, but since felt the same after viewing the Japanese version of the whole series in full!)
Tri only helped this love of their friendship/love become stronger with the small yet lovely moments for them spread in-between, tbh. (see: Tri Movie 5 bits!)
The thing with Sora+Mimi, however, is I also love various headcanons for them.
For me, they can work wonderfully and beautifully as
lovers or close/platonic friends.
... and as someone who grew up and remains very gender non-conforming
( read as: like Sora especially ) I find this,
and their relationship, INCREDIBLE.
“ Say, Sora-san.
I think it was destiny that we were chosen to be the Chosen Children.
BUT I DON’T THINK IT WAS F A T E .
I’m going to BE MYSELF and do things FREELY.
That’s why YOU should spread your WINGS F R E E L Y, TOO.
BECAUSE WE’LL STAND BY YOU NO MATTER WHAT ,
SORA-SAN. ” “ Mimi-chan ... thank you. ”
- Mimi to Sora; “ To Sora ” “Kizuna” short stories film #1
( and a bit of [ if only slightly ] fitting lyrics, for fun ):
“ You can't do this anymore ; you hear the cheering, don't you ?
THE THINGS you DREAMED OF are ALREADY
RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU ....
If it's " HARSH ," then CHANGE IT - YOU KNOW YOU’RE NOT ALONE !
NOW SAY IT - and no need to sound too stylish ... ”
[ note: commenting/tagging positively/respectfully is ok ! ]
{ another note: the implication here is I headcanon
Sora and/or Mimi as various forms of LGBTQIAPN+
depending on canon involved / ‘verses / etc.
particularly I prefer M-spec, WLW, and/or A-spec-leaning headcanons,
Please respect this if you choose to intereact with this post/my contents.

The “Koushiro+Mimi in a tree” scene with the ORIGINAL context.
Piyomon: Where did everyone go...?
Tailmon: Let’s climb down and search for them!
Koushiro: It’s no use waiting here.
Patamon: Okay! I’ll go look for Takeru!
Mimi: .. I’m staying here.
Koromon (taking charge voice): .. KOUSHIRO !
Koromon: Wait here with Mimi !
Koushiro (taking charge voice): Okay !
Koushiro: Please find the others.
The Digimon: Okay!
[*all the Digimon jump downwards*]
[*Koushiro remains with Mimi in the tree for that time.*]
