@taikouvember 2025 - entry for the prompt: Platonic / Romantic

I've been having another fake screenshot redraw in mind ever since the Beyond concept art dropped and... Initially, I wanted to use this for the prompt "Childhood / Adulthood", because... This would basically be the adult resolution of their childhood conflict: Taichi depending on Koushirou for directions, but not as equal combat partners, whereas Koushirou yearns for them to be equal in all aspects. So... This is them being borderline romantic instead, because that's what I need them to be.

TAIKOUVEMBER 2025 - ANNOUNCEMENT POST

Hello everyone!

First of all, thank you to all 31 participants of the community poll! We thought hosting an entire week might be too ambitious, but we were happy to see that the majority of voters confirmed to be happy to participate or enjoy another event. So in the fourth year of Taikouvember, we keep things a little bit smaller.

November is the last month of autumn, right before Christmas time begins. It’s a time that can be filled with light and coziness, gloominess and melancholy, a time of contrasts. So, November 7th to November 9th shall be dedicated to the relationship between Taichi Yagami and Koushiro Izumi (Taikou, Koutai or mainly known as Taishiro(u) in the English speaking fandom). The prompts you may want to use throughout the entire weekend are the following:

Partners & Crests

Childhood / Adulthood

Platonic / Romantic

Sporty / Studious

Free Space!

You can interpret the prompts however you like. If you want us to reblog your posts, please tag everything as #taikouvember, #taikouvember2025 or #taikouvember 2025 and we will be happy to share your content, let it be fanart, sketches, fanfiction, drabbles, poems, edits or whatever comes to your mind.

What Their Partners See

Summary Agumon and Tentomon notice things about their partners, about how their partners make the other feel

Whoa, first time writing anything related taishiro related, hope I did a good job. One thing that always interest me when shipping Chosen Children together are their Digimon partners. What would they see? What do they think? What do they notice?

So for prompt #1 of @taikouvember, partners & crests, this is what I wrote. It's mostly about their partners with a hint of their crests, but it's short and sweet and I had fun writing it. Hope you enjoy reading it!

Fanfic under break

Agumon and Tentomon watched their partners.

Agumon had been excited to come to Koushiro's apartment with Taichi, well, Agumon would be happy to go anywhere with Taichi, but Koushiro's mother had amazing food!

Agumon reached down, picking up another cookie with their claws and putting it into their mouth, crumbs falling everywhere. "They're suppose to be studing", Tentomon said.

Agumon looked over at the bug Digimon, but their big green eyes were locked onto their partners.

Agumon looked back at them, Taichi and Koushiro were sitting at Koushiro's desk, a chair from the dinning room brought in for Taichi to sit on.

Tentomon was right, when Agumon asked Taichi why they were going to Koushiro's apartment, Taichi has said it was because he needed help with homework.

Taichi always seemed to need help with homework, many times when Agumon wanted to hang out Taichi had said he was busy with school work.

"Why do humans go to school?" Agumon asked. Digimon just learned thing as they went, Agumon knew tons of things when they first hatched out of their egg.

Like how they were waiting for someone, how they were hungry, and how amazing their partner would be.

Humans weren't like that, they came into the world knowing nothing, and went to places like middle school and high school to learn. "It's so they can get smarter", Tentomon said.

Tentomon and Agumon looked over at each other. "Koushiro says it's important humans go to school, so they can learn and grow", Tentomon explained.

Agumon hummed, but they didn't fully understand. If Taichi wanted to do it, however, than Agumon wasn't going to say anything about it.

Agumon looked back at Taichi and Koushiro. Koushrio was leaned over his laptop, a common sight for the red head.

Taichi was leaning towards Koushiro, so close that their sides were pressed against each other.

Taichi and Koushiro were talking to each other, and from what Agumon could hear, it didn't sound like it was about school.

When Agumon thought about it, Taichi hadn't even brought anything with him here.

This wasn't the first time Taichi has said he was going over to study at Koushiro's, but when Agumon really thought about it, Taichi never brought anything with him.

"Taichi didn't even bring homework with him", Agumon pointed out. "I noticed", Tentomon said. "Yet, Koushiro did not say anything about it", Tentomon added.

"He did not seem to care that Taichi didn't bring anything, he seemed happy that Taichi came over", Tentomon explained.

"Happy?" Agumon asked, grabbing another cookie.

"Koushiro seemed down before Taichi came over", Tentomon said, looking away from their partner and over at Agumon.

"He couldn't focus on his work, and kept looking out the window thinking", Tentomon explained.

Looking out the window? Taichi was the same. Agumon had asked Taichi what was wrong, but all Taichi said was that they were going to Koushiro's apartment.

"Taichi was the same", Agumon said, crumbs falling from their teeth as they spoke. Agumon looked back up at the two Chosen, they seemed happy now.

Koushiro was working away, the sounds of his fingers hitting the keys obvious.

Taichi was talking away, but every time he turned his head towards Koushiro, Agumon could see a smile on his face.

Koushiro didn't look away from his laptop often, but Agumon does remember seeing a smile on Koushiro's face when they and Taichi walked into his room.

"They seem happy now", Agumon said, eating another cookie. "Yes, I noticed Koushiro always seems happier then Taichi is with him", Tentomon said.

"You notice a lot, like how Koushiro always manages to notice things about the Digital World", Agumon said while eating his cookie.

Tentomon said nothing about what Agumon said. "Taichi always seems happy as well, when he's with Koushiro", Agumon said.

"They always seem happy when with each other", Agumon added. Agumon might not be the brightest of the Digimon, but they notice everything when it comes to their partner.

Like how energetic Taichi always is with Koushiro, and how smart he sounds when he's with Koushiro.

Agumon also notices that Taichi stares a lot at Koushiro, just watching him when Koushiro is too busy to notice. Agumon doesn't know why, but they do know Taichi seems to like Koushiro.

"They're the best of friends", Agumon said, voicing their thoughts

Tentomon thought, and Agumon was right.

Koushiro and Taichi did seem to like each other, and they made a good team.

They also seemed to just make each other happy. Tentomon remembers many times Koushiro seemed down, whether he was sad or angry or disappointed, Taichi always managed to make Koushiro feel better.

Even when they were younger, Tentomon remembers how Taichi seemed to fill him with courage, make him believe in his knowledge.

Tentomon remembers when they all thought Taichi had died, and how hard Koushiro worked because of that, but also the tears they could see in Koushiro's eyes.

Tentomon remembers how happy Koushiro was when Taichi came back, they always seemed to gravitate towards each other after that.

Even now that they were in high school, they still gravitated towards each other.

Maybe that was why Taichi had come here so suddenly, saying he needed help with homework when he only brought Agumon with him.

Maybe that was why Koushiro said nothing when Tentomon knew he noticed that Taichi had lied, letting him into his room and at his desk.

Maybe that was why the two Chosen seemed so much more happy than they were before, smiling and laughing together when moments before they were upset and unhappy.

Why they acted like this, Tentomon didn't know.

There were many things about the human world and humans Tentomon didn't know. Maybe it had something to do with feelings, but human emotions were confusing to Digimon.

Tentomon didn't know, maybe they could ask Koushiro when this was all over. All they did know, was that Koushiro and Taichi seemed to be happy together, and as long as their partner was happy Tentomon was as well.

Tentomon looked down at the plate, just to see Agumon grab the last cookie and put it into their mouth.

"You ate all of the cookies?" Tentomon asked, looking over at the dinosaur Digimon. Agumon was still eating the last cookie when they spoke, "their just so good", Agumon said.

Tentomon had to agree, Koushiro's mother's cooking was amazing, which is why Tentomon wanted some.

"You could have at least saved some for me", Tentomon said, turing their body so they were facing Agumon.

"But they're sooo gooood", Agumon said again, picking at the crumbs that were on the plate.

"Everything alright over there?" Tentomon and Agumon looked up, seeing that Taichi and Koushiro were now looking at them.

"Agumon ate all of the cookies", Tentomon said, a little sad that they didn't get to have any. "Agumon", Taichi said, turning his chair around.

"Taichi", Agumon said, dragging out their partners names. Agumon got off the floor, running over to Taichi to stand in front of them.

Taichi leaned down, picking Agumon up as he stood up from his chair. "How am I going to feed you if your an endless eating machine?" Taichi asked Agumon.

"Give me food?" Agumon asked back. Tentomon looked down at the plate, using one of their claws to poke at it and the crumbs left.

Tentomon heard Koushiro get up from his chair. "It is alright, Tentomon", Koushiromon said.

Tentomon felt Koushiro's hand on their head, and they looked up to meet their partners eyes.

"I'll have Mama back a batch of cookies just for you", Koushiro said. Koushiro reached out and picked up Tentomon, and Tentomon settled in their partners arms.

Tentomon turned around, so they were facing the same was as Koushiro, their claws over Koushiro's arms.

"Taichi", Agumon whined, looking up at Taichi. "I'm still hungry", Agumon said. "You are always hungry, Agumon", Koushiro said, walking over to Taichi.

"I'm hungry too", Taichi said, looking up at Koushiro. "How about we go for food?" Taichi asked. Tentomon looked up at Koushiro, seeing that he was looking over at his laptop.

Koushiro had told Tentomon that he was working on something important, he had declined to hang out with Tentomon before.

Koushiro looked back at Taichi, "okay, Taichi, where did you have in mind?" Koushiro asked.

Taichi turned Agumon around in his arms, starting to tell Koushiro about a new restaurant that had opened up. Tentomon wasn't really listening, they were looking at Agumon.

Agumon looked away from Taichi, meeting the bug Digimon's eyes. Agumon smiled, the best they could with their mouth full of sharp teeth.

Agumon's words still were making Tentomon think.

Tentomon didn't know Agumon had noticed, while the Digimon was very strong and loyal, they were a bit oblivious, kinda like their partner.

Neither Agumon nor Taichi seemed to notice Koushiro's smile when Taichi enters a room, or the light blush on his face every time Taichi asks him if he wants to hang out.

Agumon did see some things, and so did Tentomon.

They noticed things. They noticed how their partners acted with each other, they saw it.

They might not understand it, but they see it.

TaiKouvember, Day 5: Hope

Pen meets paper furiously, scribbling down as fast as possible, and yet it’s still not enough to capture the speed of his mind. The sight laid before him was too rich for material; it simply couldn’t be ignored. So he stared; even as his pen veered off the perfectly straight lines, he stared deep into the core of his focus. 

“Uuuh… TK? You okay?” Taichi questions, worry written on his features. He moves from his leaning position, the arm that was once draped across the couch’s top now resting on his arm, his other partially reaching out. Before it can get too far, Koushirou pats Taichi’s thigh to gain his attention. 

“It’s no use. Taichi-san, Takeru-kun simply will not stop writing once something has taken his interest.” With a gentle shake of their head, they sip coffee from a red-and-black polka dot mug, leaning comfortably into the soft material. Taichi, not entirely satisfied, leans back as well, an eye still watching Takeru. 

“Still, does he need to stare so... intently?” 

“Of course! This is the best material I’ve seen in a while!” Takeru suddenly exclaims, jumping up. 

“I suspected it for a while, but this? Living together? This seals it!” 

“Suspected ‘it’? What do you mean by that? And what does being roommates have to do with anything??? Kou, what does he mean?!" 

"In due time, Taichi-san, in due time," Koushirou says cooly, enjoying the warm drink as Takeru tightly seals his mouth, nearly exploding from laughter. 

Taichi Yagami decided that was not a great start to the day. He wasn’t the smartest; that was Koushirou, but more than not understanding something, he felt like he was left out of some kind of joke. Takeru stuck around for a bit longer but soon left as Patamon reminded him that a class was starting soon. After this, Taichi was left alone with Koushirou in their shared apartment, and he didn’t understand how that was involved. 

The day, otherwise, carried on as normal. Koushirou worked from home, occasionally poking out to grab a bite to eat or socialize with Taichi. Said retired gogglehead was studying in between sessions of scratching Tentomon’s shell. Who knew a carapace could be so sensitive? Soon enough, however, Koushirou walks out of his office and leans into Taichi, who had finished studying an hour ago. 

“Tough problem again?” Taichi questions, beginning to softly scratch and massage the spiky scalp laid before him, fingers untangling buried knots and tense muscles as Koushirou cannot help but lean closer. 

“Yeah, we’ve tried to use a new corpus of data to finetune our transformer model without as much inference time, but we still have yet to break past the Chinchilla scaling law,” Koushirou says casually, leaning more into their roommate’s touch. Taichi, for his part, cannot parse anything other than chinchillas riding massive robot cars. 

“You’ll get there, Kou; you always do. You’re a true genius, someone who can break past any barrier they set their mind to.” He says warmly, continuing to massage the scalp of his roommate, who has now turned away.

“That’s not true, and you know it, Taichi-san,” Koushirou says flatly, gently breaking off from the touch. Taichi, unsure but respectful of the newfound distance, turns to Tentomon for guidance. 

“Koushirou-han, you simply cannot blame yourself for that.” The large insect says, a robot-like arm moving up to pet his partner, a loving spark hidden behind the green compound eyes. 

Koushirou loosens their shoulders slightly, nodding as they return to leaning on Taichi. In response, Taichi naturally begins to massage their scalp, giving soft soothing words over their best friend's capabilities, remaining like this until a timer begins to go off. 

“You made dinner?” Koushirou questions, beginning to slowly stand up and stretch firmly, flexing their arms out. Taichi happily observes their best friend’s form, smiling as he confirms he at least threw something quick together. 

They walk over to their kitchen, and Taichi insists that Koushirou, as “the breadwinner," should sit down and be catered to by Taichi. Koushirou disagrees vehemently, arguing that Taichi’s studying is just as valuable as work, only finally agreeing to be served when the pair decide Koushirou will handle dinner tomorrow. 

It was indeed a simple but filling dinner, consisting of a salmon fillet for each, a large bowl of rice, and miso soup with tofu. They sit down, pray over their meal, and proceed to eat. Koushirou slowly begins to eat, eating bits of each and letting their flavors meld together. Taichi, however, quickly begins to devour his rice and miso soup, saving his salmon for last. Tentomon first focuses on the soup, enjoying the warm savory flood of miso before playing with his food, making small rice balls with salmon centers, and constructing a pyramid before continuing to eat. The pair of DigiDestineds look at the Digimon with joy, catching the eye of the other and smiling ear to ear. 

Soon, they’re all stuffed and go to recline on the couch, mimicking their position this morning except even closer, Tentomon resting peacefully in a fluffy bed made out of his favorite pillows. The similarities to this morning spark that aching question and feeling of being left out again, and deciding now was as good a time as any... 

“Hey, Kou, what did Takeru mean earlier?” Taichi questions, slightly worrying his lip as he looks over to his redheaded roommate, uncertainty written across his features despite his best efforts. 

“You mean you still haven’t understood how people see us? Taichi-san, we live together. We’re seldom apart. I can’t even think of a time in the last year I didn’t at least talk to you in a day. Whenever we talk to friends, the other always comes up without fail. Don’t you consider that out of the ordinary?” Koushirou turns to face Taichi, their eyes catching, mesmerizing their roommate. Fuck, were they always this deep?

“I, uh, thought that’s what best friends do?” Taichi responds somewhat dumbly, shifting his own body to face Koushirou as well. 

“‘Would best friends do this?’ Koushirou says, their hand reaching out to hold Taichi’s head before eclipsing their burning lips with their own. And while I don’t have all the details for this part yet, I bet the gist of it is you both end up in the bedroom, and you are SORE, Koushirou-san. Like Taichi just DECIMATED your tight-“ 

"Please spare us the details. Takeru-kun, for everyone’s sake. Please.” Koushirou pleads, pouring themselves another glass of coffee as Taichi, a flaming mess of nerves, just sputters and leans forward. A complete wreck. 

“Great, and now you broke my boyfriend; they don’t come cheap, you know.” The redhead says cooly, unphased by Takeru’s antics as they rub Taichi’s back. 

“Not in shock over this?” Takeru asks, leaning back into his chair and taking in the floundering composure of their dear gogglehead. 

“Takeru, I once saw you regale an entire group of Chosen with a legend from the Digital World you made up on the spot; your fanfiction regarding how me and Taichi got into our relationship is not surprising in the least. Now please, it’s 6 AM; me and Taichi were in the middle of sex, and I would prefer to get back to it and get to bed before Taichi is nothing but a melted mess.” In response, Takeru busts a gut and heads out while Taichi just implodes mentally at the brazen admission of his partner. Within moments, however, Taichi has more than enough motivation to return to bed, and they both have a fantastic day afterward. And Takeru had plenty of new writing material.  @taikouvember
