Courage and Friendship

I was gonna pick different Digimon partners for these two so as not to be cliche but I actually think this fits them. And them being Jogress partners would be so funny.

Takemichi's Agumon goes thru the Greymon line to get Omegamon.

Baji’s Gabumon also goes thru the Garurumon line to get Omegamon. BUT I figure he's more like Wanyamon as a baby.

pretty much finished this as soon as I started lining but I chickened out of posting it for like a month👍

Draft

[walkingaroundlostandconfused]

Verse: where is the "good" in goodbye

Pairing: Baji/Takemichi

Note: a scene that was cut because I was going back and forth between writing everyone having an additional goodbye scene, but it wasn't flowing how i wanted it. but one of the first ones i drafted was baji's, under the cut.

Summary: Thinking back on it, Baji understood that Hanagaki had actually been the one spoiling them, always forgiving them, always reaching out to them first.

Warning: Losercore!OOC!Baji.

There were some guys ganging up on one person by the side of the riverbed.

Baji moved. It wasn't because he was some heroic person, and it wasn't because he just wanted a fight that could help him drown his head out. He was just desperate. A familiar mop of hair and a pair of familiar crutches made it so obvious and clear. It was a desperation that he couldn't quite contain. As a result, it came out like a flash flood.

"Manji's going to end with you!"

They yelled out, and Baji's desperation clawed up and out. Hands clenched into fists, he couldn't remember the last time he enjoyed a fight.

He could only see that one guy.

"Manji and I have nothing to do with each other," Hanagaki spoke out, and Baji felt like there was something heavy and sharp puncturing his heart.

Baji smacked the first guy out of his way. Then the second. By the time he made it in front of Hanagaki, he grabbed his shoulders and held him tightly. Did he punch the guys out too fast? How come he still didn't know what to say?

Fear, Baji thought, was thin enough that he could wrap his entire hand around the meat of his arm and have his fingers meet on the other side. A single glance from this small thing, and they'd be marching into the store to get whatever caught his eye. A single sentence from this weak thing and Baji felt like the world was splintering under his feet and tearing apart. A single sentence from this guy and Tokyo would move. He was smaller than him, and carries a burden that Baji couldn't fathom with ease. There used to be a time when Baji could draw unlimited stamina, unlimited strength, when he knew this man was fighting, too.

And now, all he had was this fear.

"I'm sorry," he blurted out, because he didn't want to fight and he wanted this emptiness to stop aching so bad. "I'm sorry, and I'll work on it. I'll work on it and I'll earn your forgiveness so please-" his voice broke and his vision blurred and this was not Baji Keisuke the fearless First Division Captain of their Manji- "please talk to me."

The same way that it was not his Hanagaki, who made him feel like the sun would never set.

Hanagaki stilled under his grip, before his hands came up to touch Baji's arms.

Snapping his head up, Baji paused when he realized how Hanagaki's eyes were welling with tears. The stupid crybaby, he was the one that was trying to pull away from them, so where did he get off? Why was he crying?

Didn't he know how much Baji hated it when he cried?

Baji felt distant from himself. He felt like he was watching this from someone else's body, that it wasn't him, Baji, that Hanagaki was acting like this with. It was a distant someone else that meant nothing to Baji and probably everything to Hanagaki.

Around now, Hanagaki would break down crying, saying that he was sorry when he had nothing to be sorry about, and Baji would drag him out of the cold and to his home instead. He'd sandwich Hanagaki between Matsuno and Hanemiya, pass them snacks and first-aid, and sleep in uncomfortably close and awkward positions, crammed in Baji's room, until his mom yelled at all of them to eat breakfast and go to school. It was something that happened now and then, and Baji figured it would happen for the rest of their lives and that was fine because he had them, and they had him. It didn't matter when or where, Baji would always come to get Hanagaki. School or fight, dusk or dawn, Baji had Hanagaki.

And Hanagaki had him.

Hanagaki had never, actually, been angry or upset with him before. Thinking back on it, Baji understood that Hanagaki had actually been the one spoiling them, always forgiving them, always reaching out to them first. While Baji had mocked him for crying all the time, Hanagaki always knew what really mattered in the world.

And look where that landed Baji. In that sense, he wondered if Hanagaki had just gotten tired of him.

"G-get off me."

And Hanagaki looked away, not even looking at Baji as he pushed away from the older teen and tried to wiggle away.

"Hey," Baji's voice was quiet as Hanagaki avoided stepping on the mess of delinquents Baji took care of.

He watched him pick up the crutches on the ground, and wondered if he remembered all the times Baji carried him on his back. If Hanagaki needed legs, Baji would do it. Did he remember?

"if you really leave it like this, that's the end of us."

Hanagaki hobbled up the slippery, slopey part of the hill. If Hanagaki needed to crawl out, Baji would do that, carry him, crawl with him, whatever. That's how important this was to him.

"I'll forget about you!" he shouted out, lying for the whole world to hear. "I won't even remember your name after this!"

Hanagaki didn't turn around.

"Takemitchy!" he yelled out, and even his name was hurting him. It cut the inside of his throat, tore out of his mouth like acid, and burned his chest to his heart. He wasn't sure when he'd be able to say his name again.

But Hanagaki walked away, which was an answer enough.

And standing there, by the riverbed where Hanagaki and he used to lay down and watch the sun sink, Baji met his first loss since the inception of Tokyo Manji.

The harem reacting to Takemichi pouting or saddened

Mikey would nuzzle close to Takemichi and try to make him happy so no one else would see it. A pouting Takemichi is a sight for him and only him.

Draken's heart would be beating so fast to the point he believes he's about to suffer from a heart attack, but he still squish his cheeks.

Chifuyu and Hakkai takes lots of pictures so they could put them as their background later and gives lots of hugs and cuddles to make him feel better.

Baji would be aggressively flustered and would be trying to bite his cheeks without hurting him, because that would make him sadder.

Inupi would cuddle with him and let Takemichi nuzzle his face in the crook of his neck, till he's satisfied and ecstatic. Anything to make his cute boss happy.

Kokonoi would buy anything Takemichi would want, even when Takemichi tells him there's no need for it. He still does.

Kazutora would playfully biting his mochi-like cheeks, which would make Takemichi giggle.

I couldn't write something for Mitsuya, Sanzu and the four heavenly Kings of Tenjiku😔 but I will try later for them.

BROTP BAJIMICHI PLEASE THATD BE SO CUTE

This message was waaay back but uh, yeah. My brotp, just a couple of bros y'know *sweats profusely*

[purpleofluck]

What if...

Random ideas mainly centered around takemichi (bc he is my baby girl) that I hope to write a one shot of or short chapters work about later on (idk when lmao)

▪︎Takemichi, a complex-level puzzle designer (on etsy), needs a roommate but is super paranoid after watching too many crime shows and listening to unsolved mysteries podcast. Puts the most ridiculous, off-putting ad.

Only one answers.

Pairing: NahoyaxTake

▪︎Takemichi as an eldritch being of deep, deep sea. Loves taste of human males. Occasionally comes close to land/beach. By chance meets Emma. Two bond. Monsterf*cking definitely involved 😋

Pairing: TakexEmmaxTake (Takemichi is technically genderless but morphs both human genders (occasionally mixing it up aka futanari or bussy😉)) might add draken idk

▪︎secret hard-core fanfic writer, especially of fluff and smut. Takemichi sees "romance" everywhere. Ships drakenxemma so hard - their number #1 fan (and secretly writes about them with different names and genre). Always internally screaming/squealing/cheering everytime he sees what he consider romance pairings, even strangers aren't safe. Lot of internal monologing. Learns to translate English for his fanfic and other fellow fanfic writers- his one best grade in school lol. Misses a few gang meetings bc of deadlines.

Pairing: either fuyutake or taijutake (I swear it makes sense in my brain, idk how to explain why though lmao)

▪︎Takemichi gets a surprise baby brother (thanks to missing, nameless dad plot hole). He's about 16/17 whereas rest of tomen are in their mid 20s. In a series of event Tk becomes sugar baby to support his baby (bro).

Pairing: AllTake

▪︎BNHAxTR crossover. Set in dawn of quirks, all out world wars/civil wars - very apocalyptic, dystopian. Tk in apocalyptic outfit (gasmask, scarfs, thick jacket, cargo pants, hiking backpack, a gun holster on his thigh for his handmade glock, and carries an AR in hand as he travels). He does have power related to time. I'm thinking similar to Eri from BNHA (he's a great great grandaddy? Maybe). Maybe he has horns or something to indicate he is using his powers (quirk). His power (quirk) would be like a remote: fast forward, pause or stop, and rewind. Very powerful but requires touch of all five fingers and enough power in stock (horn) to use. He helps other powered people especially kids (that are abandoned or being hunted down by military or hate groups). Unites many who want freedom from hate groups, creepy scientists, and militarization government.

pairing(s): undecided half tempted AfOxTake or maybe 1st OfAxTake, maybe some one-sided from TR boys and girls lol

▪︎og timeline takemichi somehow becomes responsible for caring for a reborn!Ace d. Portagus. Follows them as they become family with random gangsters flirting with an oblivious Takemichi, much to Ace’s displeasure. Good thing he found an iron plumbing pipe to bash heads in.

Pairing: mix bag, probably allTake

▪︎ instead of timetraveling power, Takemichi can heal but takes the same amount of pain in return (not physical of it, like bleeding.)

Pairing: bajitake

▪︎takemichi gets possessed by a dead woman looking for her lover to say a proper goodbye. Not a constant possession and it took him awhile to figure out he was possessed. The dead woman, in disbelief, finally wrote a note and taped it to his face (she needs help since she can't fully possess for long period of times). He (after a major freakout) helps her with the search. In return she makes decent meals bc she firmly believes even idiots can't live off on convenience food. Tk friends/gang notice the strangeness and eerie feeling they get from him (her)

Pairing: muchotake? Probably a little to out there maybe shintake?

▪︎ a/b/o with full animal shifting. Predator/prey society. Similar vibes to Zootopia with anti-predator sentiments. Takemichi is a Predadator Omega (pred. O are stronger than prey A). His Very Sad Backstory: his dam (a wolf, Japanese native) was murdered in a hate crime, his sire (from Canada, wolverine) went mad with grief and killed her mate's killers then died of a broken heart. He becomes an activist (while internally battling with antiprey thoughts - he doesn't want to be a hateful person but he is extremely reserved around prey and their mob mentality).

-I was thinking maybe he has a few pups already (different sires lol), since most predators don't settle down and he took after his sire as a wolverine who don't typically mate with just one. His sire was atypical in that respect.

-Tomen are all domestic cats with few being wild cats (hakkai and the twins). Domestic animal shifters (cats and dogs) tend be looked down on by both prey/predator

-The pups are probably reborned ASL brothers 😂

This idea might expand into several chapters 🤔

Pairing: Undecided

That's all for now probably more later lol

[walkingaroundlostandconfused]

“Vow renewal without witnesses” really sold BajiTake for me, Baji’s actions and thoughts were so beautifully written. I felt my heart ache for both Baji and the others boys who did not luck out as much as Baji did.

Thank you for that.

I really liked writing that one! What an honor for someone to like it as well ^^

Baji is also one of the characters that I often have to try and pry off of Hanagaki. In my crazy and delusional mind, I love the idea of Baji who has a lot of issues with adults who are dishonest and two-faced and not direct. Then, he meets Hanagaki. And he lies so that Hanagaki doesn't worry, and he pretends things aren't a big deal so Hanagaki relaxes, and Baji, who told himself that he would protect his friends especially the friends that were weaker than him, is always the one that was protected. One of my favorite tropes, aauuuuu.

With that said, many of my verses feel like Baji is repeated, but I can't help it, I love this guy written like this.

For that story specifically, I had this song stuck in my head for hours and it all came flooding out. It really wrote itself, and I was just the vessel that happened to write it lol. I have a story somewhere where Masaru is not-great and treats Hanagaki not-great, and then the others get their hands on him but before that, and this came out first, lol.

Tl;dr: the Baji that accepts becoming the worst version of himself for Hanagaki's comfort and well-being is my kink

[tokyorevincorrectquotes]

He deserved to be cherished

Baji: Nobody is perfect. Takemichi: *tears up* Baji: One person is perfect.
