“Will you tell me what the fuck is going on?” - Kouji

Basic Angst Starters

“Nothing...!” Kouichi pulled a hand clamped around his wrist as if to hold back his own pulse. Maybe if he gripped tight enough, his blood would stop - time would stop - and tomorrow wouldn’t have to come.

He always said nothing was wrong, nothing was wrong, nothing was going on! But damn if he didn’t worry the hell out of everyone who knew about him stressing over the date that was coming up. November 11... their birthday.

This year was apparently bad enough to warrant Kouji’s yelling at him. Out of concern, of course, because the elder twin had been too quiet lately; too weary and stressed and tired for either of them to be excited.

Which just made Kouichi feel bad that he was wrecking everything...!

“I’m sorry! I just... About tomorrow -” and his words and eyes were pained.

“Mom’s been really sick lately. My mom... I think she came down with a flu. And I’ve been taking care of her so I think might have caught it, too. So... I don’t want to get you sick as well, Kouji. I’m sorry...”

“You weren’t going to do anything, and they weren’t going to stop persisting.”

Kouichi hissed through his teeth like he knew - knew how his twin brother was too nice to want to offend anyone outright, even if that person was unwelcome. Well, maybe ‘offend’ wasn’t the right word, because he knew Kouji could dish out some harsh, cold truths to people like Takuya who were also persistent.

But Kouji would never outright hurt anyone. This was a fact; Kouji protected people, even someone like Kouichi after the elder twin had hunted his twin! But the warrior of darkness was easily prone and swayed to anger, taking out his frustrations in one swing of his fist into the other person’s face.

His hand hurt as Kouji pulled them somewhere away, safe and protective. Kouichi had promised himself that he would protect his little brother back. So he didn’t care if he hurt the other person who had intruded a little too far, despite Kouji’s discomfort with such a reaction. That stranger was probably cradling their bloody nose too much to care where the twins ran off to now, so Kouichi was satisfied despite with the ache his knuckles now endured.

"Ruffle" from Takuya?

Send me “Ruffle” for my muses reaction to your muse randomly coming up and running their fingers through mine’s hair!

“Mmh!” Kouichi blinked, his previously quiet little frown dispersing into curiosity watching Takuya laugh and run away as to not get caught. But the elder twin didn’t retaliate out of anger like his younger sibling might have and instead sorted his feathery hair pieces back into relative place atop his messy head.

Whatever negative train of thought was consequently lost to the mischievous way Kouichi started laughing as he aimed to tickle Takuya back or otherwise seek out some playful revenge. And in this way the warrior of darkness was eternally gratefully to have such close and considerate friends.

Kouji quietly presses a fairly sized container full to the brim with paper stars into his twin's hands without saying a word.

“Hm?” Kouichi looked up and managed to take the treasure in hand, inspecting its paper star contents. Each folded piece seemed to contain a myriad of curiosity: What was this for? Did Kouji make all of these? Had Kouichi forgotten some special anniversary? And, should Kouichi be offering his twin something?

“Kouji...?”

He smiled at the unexpected gesture, poising to pick one out from its confines. Then thinking otherwise, Kouichi spilled the stars into his bedroom so each one could be appreciated for the light they represented:

Takuya’s dazzling smile.

Ken’s intelligent kindness.

Teruo’s stubborn passion.

Izumi’s friendly confidence.

Daisuke’s amazing resilience.

Geopardmon and Nachtmon, his precious partners reborn from the Spirits.

Wallace, Tomoki, Junpei, Takeru, Miyako, Hikari and all those others...

The many digimon to whom they were all connected...

His mother; strong and loving, and then there was...

“Kouji... thank you.”

Lovely day in Tokyo, the sky is sh... er actually one can’t see the sky due to the ‘ceiling’ that covered over this chunk of Japan like a massive dome. The only light is coming from the buildings and lamps that actually still have functioning lights. Other than that it’s uh... ‘lovely’. S’not like Nanashi has ever seen the real sky anyways so there was nothing to miss.

Point is, things are actually pretty quiet and that’s a nice change of pace. ‘Course as soon as the teen was starting to doze off for a nap something just had to happen. Asahi, his long time friend and basically step-sister, screamed. That can’t be good.

Nanashi burst into the girl’s room only to look dumbfounded at the scene before him. “Um...... Who’s that? You get a boyfriend while I wasn’t lookin’?” There was some dude in the other teen’s room but apparently Asahi didn’t know him judging by that scream and the horrible glare she gave for that ‘boyfriend’ joke. After which she promptly shuffled away from the stranger and shoved Nanashi a bit towards him, saying ‘You’re the ‘man of the house’ you handle this.’ and then she was outa there before the boy could argue.

“Well fuck.” He cursed under his breath before putting his full attention on the home invader, “Listen pal, are you supposed to be a thief or something? We don’t have anything worth stealing so you may as well get outa here.” Come to think of it though..... “Wait.... how’d you even get in here?? You’d of had to go through my room first but I didn’t see or hear you come in....” Eyes narrowed suspiciously as he continued to keep an eye on the weirdo.

“Are you okay in there? You’ve been so quiet.” - Takuya

BASIC ANGST STARTERS using x as context inspiration

Kouichi blinked from his dazed state having fell from the Digital World through the laptop computer he borrowed - panting and groaning under his breath as he collected himself for a moment. As Takuya’s voice beckoned outside the door the dark warrior remembered his friend having come over...

“J-just a sec! I’m...”

He wasn’t fine. If the gash still bleeding through the shirt he had tourniquet over his arm wasn’t indication enough, whatever just happened in the Digital World was not some dreamed up stuff. No, Kouichi was actually shivering from the Dark Ocean he had just plummeted back from, soaked not only with salt water but by fear and worry and anger but feeling too numbed with cold to respond.

And damn if he let Takuya to see him like this.

It hadn’t been too horribly difficult to track his twin down, especially considering he’d done it once before. Honestly it felt like going through it all over again except instead of being separated due to their parents divorce they’d been separated by, well, death.

Meaning it might be a lot more difficult to convince his brother who he was this time around. Still, he had to try. No chickening out like he used to, that’s what killed him in the first place! Being too afraid to talk to Koji all those times and eventually running through the train station after him.

The yokai gave himself a quick pat down, making sure he had no tails or cat ears. He wanted to be as human as possible for this! Showing his cat form could come later, right now he figured one big surprise would be enough.

Once he was all set he mentally told himself to get moving, finally clearing his throat and tapping his twin on the shoulder, “Excuse me.... you’re Koji Minamoto, right?” Immediately after saying that he felt anxiety creeping in, worried about the reaction he’d get when the boy turned around. Geez, he nearly felt like running away but no! No running! He got this far he needed to go through with it. If he really just couldn’t convince Koji it was him then he could just leave...... it’d be sad but he wouldn’t wanna cause his brother anymore pain.
