Meicoomon was half asleep by the time Meiko brought her into the apartment. Any anxiety or fear that lingered had been banished by Meiko’s tender, but tight hold, and her promise. 

I love you!

It made Meicoomon purr harder just to hear the words in her head again! She clung to Meiko like a child, comforted and…and safe. Yes, Meicoomon was always safe with her; that was what she remembered the most. And this time, she was going to make Mei feel just as safe too. 

No more crying. No more danger. Meicoomon was going to be the best partner ever. 

They entered the apartment and Meicomoon lifted her heavy head, sniffing the air. Mei’s scent was apparent, obviously, but there was another one–sort of familiar, too. Almost like herself, but not. 

Before Meicoomon could figure out the source, she found herself presented with a spoonful of tuna. Green eyes sparkled and became vibrant as the Digimon wasted no more time, eating the mouthful. Her fangs scraped lightly against the metal in her haste, flecks of meat messily covering her muzzle as quickly devoured the first bite. 

“Dandan,” Meicoomon chirped, her eyes shutting from a swell of joy. She could investigate that weird smell later, after all.

    Hearing the dialectal form of thank you, Meiko couldn’t help some fresh tears that fell from her face. They weren’t tears of sadness, but of joy and relief again. Seeing that Meicoomon almost ate the spoon along with the tuna, she couldn’t help but laugh out of slight concern,

    “Easy there Meicoomon, I don’t think Digimon should eat silverware, and if you’re still hungry, I can open another can for you, but I want to make sure you don’t eat too fast and get sick.” She quickly got a slightly bigger spoonful of the food for her and spoon fed her the rest of the can.

    Throwing the empty can away, Meiko carried the other towards the small sofa that she had in her already small apartment and sat down, scratching Meicoomon’s head out of muscle memory.

    Softly, “Meicoomon, when did you get here? And how long? If I’m going to be honest...you look terrible...”

    More concern and worry filled Meiko’s voice and head at imagining what her partner had gone through while Meiko was just sitting here doing nothing.

      Letting out a laugh Mimi hugged the female tighter. Thank god she ran into someone else. It made her feel a bit better.

     “I am here as well, and I’m happy to see you too!” Pulling away from the hug she gave the female a warm smile while wiping away some stray tears that Meiko had missed before she started to talk. “Well, I’d like to say maybe… a week or so ago?” Scratching her chin she looked up at the sky in a thinking manner. “It’s really hard to say, being here is so easy to lose track of time…”

    Palmon made her way towards Meiko as she gave the female a wave and a hug. “Palmon is happy to see you too, even though she can’t talk.” the plant Digimon made her way over and sat down in the flower patch once more behind the two female’s as she nodded her head smiling.

     Mimi’s attention then went to Kanchi as her eye lit up. “Oooh! Who is this cutie?” Oh, Mimi you dolt! She mentally yelled at herself before she looked at the ravenette. “How did you get here by the way?” Did Meiko fall to Wonderland in the same manner she and Yamato did?

    The smile on Meiko’s face was the strongest she’s had in the longest time since falling into Wonderland. The feeling of being next to someone that she actually knew brought a warmth to her chest that she hadn’t felt since Taichi’s call around Christmas time...this was nice...this is what she needed.

    Upon seeing Palmon, a complex whirlwind of emotions filled her head: joy at seeing a Digimon again, the saddness at remembering Meicoomon...and the worst? The jealousy. There was a dark side to Meiko that started to form when falling into Wonderland that started to tell her to hate everyone that still had their Digimon: especially her friends. But she kept that voice at bay and hugged the plant Digimon back; the warmth of being with friends filling her chest again.

    Hearing the question, Kanchi mewed at both Mimi and Meiko, the first as acknowledgement, and the second to get the other’s attention, “O-oh! This is Kanchi. I found him a couple of days after I got here, he was really helpful, and still it.” Meiko kissed the top of Kanchi’s head, the cat purring in response.

    The second question...was one that broke the warmth from her chest and caused a slight chill to replace it. Flashes of her searching every night for Meicoomon to the point that she missed school a couple of days from exhaustion. 

    With her eyes getting slightly wet, “I-I...I thought I heard Meicoomon...I thought I h-heard her crying for help....but it looks like I was wrong...”

Picked up. 

Held. 

Meicoomon remained limp in the arms of her best friend for only a heartbeat–just long enough to make sure that it really was Mei holding her, that she’d finally, finally found her–

With a little half wail, half mewl, Meicoomon wrapped her arms around Meiko’s neck, burrowing as close as she could. She could feel Mei shaking against her, smell the angry salt of her tears, and new ones rose up in response. Tears of relief, of regret, of so many things that Meicoomon didn’t understand just yet. 

The Digimon’s tired body relaxed again, but it rumbled with a tiny, anxious little purr. She clung with a fraction of her might, taking extra care not to dig her claws into Mei’s arms. 

It was easy to remember the last time she’d ever seen Meiko–when she’d been able to be at peace, been able to say goodbye–but now they were meeting again, after what felt like forever. Meiko was here, was real, was holding her up, and was hurting just as much as Meicoomon had to have been. 

“M-Mhm! I-I heard your v-voice, calling out…! I-I was lookin’ for you everywhere,” Meicoomon whimpered. “I-I’m sorry. I’m sorry, Mei, I’m sorry, please don’t hate me, I’m sorry…”

    Meiko’s hold on Meicoomon was that of iron. It’s felt like years since she’s last held her best friend and digimon partner like this. Meiko’s entire body felt so like and just...everything felt right. The dark cloud that had been hanging over her heart had finally cleared, her mind could finally be free from the constant lies that the Cat forced her to hear.

    Hearing Meicoomon’s apologies, Meiko finally looked at her partner...and if she were honest, she looked horrible, “M-Meicoomon....I don’t hate you. I could never hate you! You’re my partner, my best friend, and I love you!”

    Getting on her feet, Meiko also realized that Meicoomon was almost limp in her arms, she needed to get some food in her or something ASAP.

    “C’mon Meicoomon, let’s get you home.”

    During her walk into the apartment, Meiko kept her hold on Meicoomon tight, gave the nap of her neck some scratches, and made sure that she was still breathing. As soon as she got into her apartment she greeted Kanchi and went straight towards the food pantry that she kept Kanchi’s food. Quickly grabbing a can of tuna and a spoon, she opened the can and spooned up some of the contents.

    Adjusting so Meicoomon was facing her and and positioned the spoon right in front of her mouth, “Here’s some food Meicoomon, please eat.”

Meicoomon, at first, flinched terribly and curled into the tightest ball she could. Her poor mind couldn’t even process the voice or the words, just the anger and hatred behind them. She trembled from the tip of her ears to her tail, waiting for it to end. 

And then it did. The loud and angry voice had given way to soft sobbing. Meicoomon slowly lifted her face out from the protective ‘scarf’ of her feelers, one limp ear slowly twitching up and toward the sound. Her own bleary vision only registered soft light at first, outlining a vaguely familiar silhouette. 

She sniffled. Then, went very still, her fur rising and her ears perking high. 

This was…it was…!

She wobbled onto her legs, and then she carefully came into the light. Meiko…Meiko was still mad, wasn’t she? Did Meiko hate her now? Meicoomon wasn’t sure what she’d do if that was the case. 

“I-I’m–! I’m h-here, Mei. P-Please don’t hate me. I’m all better now, I promise…” 

    The voice was getting closer. The voice was still there. She couldn’t handle this anymore. She was just so tired of it. She thought that she had finally moved on from Meicoomon’s passing, but apparently that wasn’t true. Her heart still hung onto the pain and the...the final goodbye. Every time she heard her voice that scene played through her mind again and again and again and...again. She just couldn’t handle it anymore.

    This time...this time the voice sounded different. Normally the voice was echoing through her entire head and would be so...empty. But the warmth and....sadness that she felt within the voice was different and new...maybe?

    Slowly raising her head, Meiko first saw the dirty floor of the alley and the bits of trash and dirt that accumulated. The light that came from the streetlamp dyed everything blue and flickered every once and a while, but then there was orange. And two paws. A tail. And two bushy ears.

     Meiko’s entire body went still and her face went slack. There was no way...there was no way that...that-

    Hearing the voice and the face that was looking at her mouth those words, “M...Mei....Meicoomon...is...i-i-is that....is that r-really you?”

    Without even thinking, Meiko slowly got up and walked over towards...Meicoomon with her pace picking up. As she got close to her, her body went through the motions and reached her arms out and picked her up. Feeling the slightly damp fur and the familiar smell that she carried, fresh tears started to fall down her face...but this time it was not sadness; but of joy and relief.

    “It...it really is you. Meicoomon...”

Sweet Tooth || Adrien & Meiko

[thankyou-much]

aka-chatnoir‌: 

Adrien was working behind the counter in the pretty busy shop people quickly getting coffee and baked goods in the morning. Although mostly everyone was now at a table or left with their order. They were in a temporary lull which Adrien took advantage of. He went to the back for a second and got a tray of just baked tarts to replace the two he just sold. 

Mr. Dupang explained to him that people always eat with their eyes first and that the product looks better if the showcase is set up well. He was placing a berry tart in the case when he heard the telltale bell announcing a new customer’s entry. He looked up to see a girl walk in. He quickly set the tray to the side out of sight and went in front of the register.

“Hello! How can I help you?” He asked with a smile. 

    Meiko shouldn’t have jumped as much as she did, but she didn’t expect the voice to greet her, but she did.

    Smiling awkwardly at the worker, “U-Um, h-hi! I’m just looking around, s-sorry.”

    Quickly, Meiko looked at the various displays that lined some of the walls...and she could feel her mouth start to water: everything looked beautiful. The various treats and baked goods looked so vibrant but still natural somehow. In response to seeing all of it Meiko’s stomach decided to make her hunger known. Hearing the low grumble caused a red blush to spread across her face.

    “...p-please tell me you didn’t hear that?”

    Quickly adjusting herself, Meiko tried to change the conversation, “U-um, what do you r-recommend?”

Meicoomon was a tough Digimon. 

(She was! She really was! Promise!)

But even as a Champion, weariness could set in at any moment. She’d spent all day wandering the whole of Wonderland, hiding beneath the seats on the train, walking up and down the streets. She’d screamed herself hoarse, her paws ached, and her stomach rumbled grumpily with hunger. 

And, still. No sign of Mei. 

On all fours, Meicoomon padded down the alley next to the Clamaway Apartments, her tail and feelers drooped and dragging along the dirty ground. Softly, she began to sniffle as she forced herself to curl next to an empty trash can. 

Meicoomon shivered–not because she was cold, but because she was tired and hungry and she missed Mei so, so very much. The sniffling grew louder and louder until Meicoomon realized that she was sobbing, fat tears rolling over her muzzle. 

“Mei…” she whined weakly.

    Today was bad. No. That was an understatement: it was one of the worst days of her life. Meicoomon’s “voice” was following her all day and it was driving her insane. During her school day she had to keep herself quiet in order to not snap at her classmates since it would just add guilt onto her already horrible mental health.

    “Can today just be over already...”

    As soon as she used her voice, she could feel her eyes start to burn. Emotions were not being helpful right now.

    Then she heard it again: Meicoomon’s voice. This was her breaking point. Her eyes turned cold and she stormed towards where the voice came from. Tears were now starting to flow down her face and her teeth were clenched.

    Reaching a ways into the alley, and letting her voice ring out, “CAN YOU JUST LEAVE ALONE!? EVER SINCE I WAS TRICKED INTO COMING HERE I’VE JUST BEEN REMINDED EVERYDAY THAT MY BEST FRIEND IS GONE! STOP MAKING HER VOICE CALL OUT TO ME! LET HER DIE-”

    Meiko was now sobbing at this point and her legs gave out on her. Yelling out her anger was something that she did rarely...and this time it made her feel worse: it made her realize again that there would be no way that Meicoomon could come back.

    Still sobbing, “...p-please Meicoomon....p-please come back...”

     It was a sign, it just HAD  to be a sign. A good one naturally. The world is a very peculiar place of course, but being able to meet Yamato and Gabumon that had to mean something.

     Wonderland on its own was very strange indeed. And Mimi was sure that things here don’t just happen for a reason. Well, maybe it did? What did she know about this place? That would a big fat nothing.

     Stepping foot in Flower Park the brunette took a deep breath in as she exhaled happily. Getting her phone out she pulled up the app that held Palmon as her digipartner smiled and greeted her. Clicking the app once more Palmon materialized within the world as she happily went to the flower patch and made herself comfortable.

     Funny that the patch Palmon picked up she noticed another person. Wait a darn minute. Eyes still focused on the female she made her way around the place and she was met with the side profile. “No way! Meiko!” The female shouted and as she took a closer look and it was indeed. “Meiko!” Mimi shouted happily as she bolted to the female and tackled her without pushing her off the seat in a side hug. “No way, no way! You are here!”

    Calm. This is what she needed, and Kanchi’s deep purring was helping her keep that calm intact...well...not for long that is. Her first sign that something was changing was Kachi’s head shooting up and her eyes becoming wide.

    Getting slightly nervous, “K-Kanchi? Is something wrong-”

     Meiko didn’t get the entire sentence out before a loud...and familiar voice shouted her name and she found herself having someone glued to her side, almost knocking herself off of the bench. Quickly looking at who suddenly attacked her, Meiko’s body froze slightly. Mimi? Mimi was here too?

    Meiko quickly hugged Mimi back, “M-Mimi?! Y-You’re here too!? I’m so happy!!”

    Tears start to form at the corner of her eyes, both out of joy, and out of sadness due to seeing Palmon as well. Meiko would be lying to herself is she wasn’t envy of Mimi, not only that she had her partner Digimon, but she was just so...so carefree. Mimi was always the one to initiate conversations and thrived in those environments while Meiko would avoid them at almost all costs.

    But now wasn’t the time for that, one of her closest friends was here. And she missed her.

    Wiping away the tears, “W-when did you get here?”

Unexpected || Yamato and Meiko

[thankyou-much]

crxstoffriendship‌: 

    Yamato stared in shock at Meiko before turning back to Gabumon to confirm that he wasn’t imagining things, and his partners surprised look confirmed that he wasn’t being dooped. As he turned back to her, he was instantly tackled and soon found himself back on his ass with Meiko on top of him crying and sharing her feelings with him.

    “I-…don’t cry….” He had no idea what to do with the crying girl. He never knew how to handle this situation, he wasn’t like the others, dealing with an emotional person like Meiko wasn’t his forte and panic soon started to fill him. His mouth hung slightly open as he tried to form some words to try and help her calm down as he patted her back gently when she suddenly calmed herself a bit and got off him before he could even figure out what to say. 

    “I uh….i see.” He felt terrible for brushing over her small crying fit and he knew if the girls knew he’d done that they’d give him a world of trouble for it. “Gabumon and I had a similar experience….though it was a cry for help that we heard.” 

    Meiko could feel her face get hotter from embarrassment of breaking down like that. She was sure that she became stronger after she moved back home and said goodbye to Meicoomon...but apparently coming to Wonderland reverted all of that growth.

    Meiko’s head shot up at hearing Yamato, “A-A cry for help? F-From who? What it M-Meicoomon?”

    The moment that those words left her mouth, she shook her head. She knew already that it wasn’t Meicoomon. There was literally no way that it could be her. She had to remind herself daily that Meicoomon wasn’t here anymore and that she should move on. She thought she did...but Wonderland screwed it all up.

    For the first time in a while, anger flared a little, “I-Ignore that question. I know the answer already.” Meiko’s words came out slightly choppy and chilled.

    Taking a deep breath, “S...sorry. It’s not your fault, but seeing you and Gabumon again...made me remember some unpleasant things.”

My Hero || Cassandra & Meiko

[thankyou-much]

wondergcass‌: 

Cassie was walking along the hallway, preparing to head out for the day. She still wants to do some more exploring around this place. Sure it was kinda late but it was not going to stop her anyway. At that moment, she hears a girl shout. Curious, she rushes off to go find out what was happening. She stops as soon as she sees two goons attacking a girl.

One of them spots her and aims his gun at her. Instinctively, Cassie pulls out her lasso and throws it towards him. The lasso wraps itself around his hand and she pulls him towards her, knocking him with a punch. The other goon leaves the girl and runs at her. Cassie dodges his attacks and kicks him away, sending him crashing into a wall. She turns to the girl and smiles.

“You ok?”

    Meiko didn’t really know what happened. One moment there was a man grabbing her and then shouts and grunts happened behind her. There was a second of silence and Meiko then processed that she wasn’t being held anymore. Having that new found freedom back, Meiko quickly moved to the wall to try and get herself away from the action.

    Seeing a blonde woman, who she assumes saved her, turn to her, Meiko was able to breathe easy, “I-I’m better now...th-thank you...”

    The aura that the other woman put out helped Meiko calm herself even more. Before she was able to get another sentence out, one of the men that she assumed was unconscious started to move around. The anger that the man had on his face made Meiko stop, and he started to charge at her savior.

    Yelling, “L-LOOK OUT!”

    After finding Yamato and Gabumon in Wonderland, Meiko’s dark cloud started to fluctuate, and Meicoomon’s voice started to warp...just like when she lost control. She was usually in control of the dark energies in her head thanks to the Cat’s influence, but it was starting to get harder to suppress them. Seeing Matt and Gabumon again...it made her miss Meicoomon even more. If it weren’t for Kanchi being with her, she’d probably go insane.

    Picking up Kanchi and sitting on one of the benching in the Flower Park, Meiko nuzzled her face into Kanchi’s, “Thank you for being here for me...you have no idea what you mean to me now...”

    Taking a second and breathing in the beautiful flowers, Meiko could feel some of the dark thoughts leaving her, but they were still present.

    Looking down at Kanchi, “If Yamato and Gabumon are here...does that mean the others are here too?” All she got back was a chirp and a headbutt...both of which were welcomed.

Please Get Down! || Kilala & Meiko

    The school day was over, and Meiko was exhausted from the day; half of her classes had tests that she knew the content, but her mind kept on trying to complicate the questions. Well, that was over, so there was no need to worry about it!

    Exiting the school grounds, Meiko put her earbuds in and just started to walk her way back to her apartment. A beautiful ballad filled her head as she just let her feet move her and her eyes to wonder and people watch passively. There were plenty of people out enjoying the beautiful day: couples, singles, and a girl trying to climb the school building- ....what.

    Meiko’s mind took a couple of seconds to really comprehend the situation, and her body just reacted and rushed towards the girl, “E-Excuse me! That really isn’t safe! Please get down from there!”

    There weren’t many area’s outside his apartment that Yamato liked to summon Gabumon out, he didn’t know how people would react to his partner, and with what he was learning about the small monsters hidden in the forest, he really didn’t think it would be a wonderful idea if it meant he may be at an even bigger risk of being confused for one of the bad ones.

    It was why despite knowing the dangers of the forest, he made his way there to give his friend some fresh air. He didn’t go too deep into the forest, but he didn’t stay too close to the nearest city. He had found a perfect inbetween and just let the digimon wonder around the forest. He wanted him to get a view of this world, even more now that he was trapped for a majority of the time inside the stupid app. It had been unfair and he would do anything in his power to make things fair for his closest friend.

    He had been playing his harmonica when he heard a sudden rustle in the trees and quickly stood from his spot against the tree, ready to protect his friend from whatever was coming. When the person behind the noise suddenly appeared, Matt’s eyes widened in surprise.

    “Meiko?! What are you doing here?

    Today was a pretty average day: Meiko went to her classes, had a decent lunch, and already got her homework done for the next day. Her plans for the day were...non-existent to say the least. While Meiko was training herself to get out of her apartment more, she didn’t really try to actually interact with people. The thought of trying to get to know people didn’t really sit well with her. She wasn’t scared to interact with people, she just knew that she had great friends...back at home. Reflecting on that, Meiko could feel a small, dark cloud start to form over her head.

    Grabbing Kanchi’s harness, “No. I’m not going to dwell on that. Not today.”

    Getting out of her apartment, Meiko made her way to the forest eventually, trying to get the sounds of nature to drown out her thoughts. Entering the forest, the rustling leaves and small animals already calmed Meiko’s nerves, but something caught her eye...something familiar.

    “...G-...Gabumon!?”

    Rushing towards the familiar Digimon, Meiko met eyes with Yamato-

    “...Y...Yamato...?”

   It took a second for her brain to process this entire situation, and a new emotion that she hadn’t felt in weeks filled her heart: joy and relief.

    Rushing towards Yamato, she tackled him into a hug, “I-I’m so happy to see you! I’ve been by myself for so long and I keep on hearing Meicoomon than’s to the Cat and and and-”

    She couldn’t stop the tears from flowing down her face and her voice breaking majorly.

    Taking a second to calm herself, “I...I fell down here...I heard Meicoomon...but apparently the voice wasn’t really her...” she picked up Kanchi and started to pet him, trying to get herself away from those thoughts.

    Trying to make sure that she wasn’t staying in her apartment everyday, Meiko decided to take a trip to Cestrelle. Making sure that Kanchi’s harness was on securely, Meiko started to walk to the streets. Seeing all of the people walking around made her shrink physically.

    About ten minutes of walking, Meiko’s stomach started to yell at her and made her realize that she didn’t eat breakfast yet. Looking around the street she was currently on, Meiko did find a nice bakery that caught her attention: Merveillie Patisserie.

    “My, that’s an interesting name. Hopefully it’s not too expensive.”

    Opening the door, the bell signaled that she had entered the building.

    This was a mistake. This was a huge mistake. Meiko made sure that her walks were always during the day and that she brought Kanchi with her. Today however, she decided to change her routine: she took a walk at night and without her companion. Sitting in her apartment and hearing Meicoomon’s voice was just too much for her, and she couldn’t even look at Kanchi without being reminded of her lost partner. So, she got ready and left her apartment, making sure to lock it.

    Her mind was too preoccupied with keeping her mind busy that she didn’t notice the shadows moving behind her. Her state of mind made it so she kept her arms tightly around her.

    Muttering to herself, “I...I just want it to stop...”

    Then she felt hands grab her left shoulder roughly. She let out a scream as she felt a second pair of hands grab her other shoulder.

    “HELP!”

Fish Watching || Hikari & Meiko

[thankyou-much]

starliight-maiden‌: 

      … Not a single aquarium to be found in this whimsical world. On a rare day off, Hikari wanted to try looking around for a place to admire the marine life. She missed the jellyfish in the aquariums back home… They were so relaxing to look at…

      Unfortunately, this place didn’t seem to have a location dedicated to her favorite animal (besides Mr. White of course). There was a petting zoo filled with cute little critters, but nothing she was interested in. Karen would like them… She’d have to go back and take pictures.

      The stage girl’s wandering had taken her to the beach, where she now sat upon the edge of the pier. Her shoes were tossed to the side, the cool of the water soothing her feet as she lazily moved them back and forth. Maybe she could see some sort of ocean life from here. However, the voice of the other girl broke Hikari out of her absent minded state. She turned to look at the new arrival, blue eyes studying the other blankly.

      “… I’m looking for jellyfish,” she said briskly, turning back to face the water. The company of another was nice… She was just a bit shy. “The water is pretty, too,” she muttered as an afterthought.

    “… Want to take a seat?”

    This girl seemed rather...blunt? Well, she wasn’t being rude since she invited her to join, but the straightforwardness was slightly off putting, but it wasn’t too unwelcomed. Walking towards the other girl, Meiko did notice how beautiful and clear the water was. The girl was not lying, and Meiko couldn’t help the small gasp that escaped her.

    “Wow...the water is so clear...”

    Letting Kanchi roam a little, she was a good cat and didn’t leave her side most of the time, Meiko sat down on the pier and started to watch the water for any sign of life. And there certainly was: various small fishes and school darted under the water. Back at home, the water was clear like here, but the life wasn’t as vibrant...and Meiko gave her thanks for that.

    “My...there’s really a lotta fish here...I-I’m Meiko by the way, thank ya much for letting me join you,” Meiko dialect came through, though she didn’t really care to correct her speech.
