(no subject)

[heatherandsteel]

The house is kind of feeling close with Toby having some bad days so when Quentin gets a door, he goes through and searches for Yamato. He knows there's a free concert at the end of a fair with lots of food trucks happening and that should be fun.

When he got dressed he tried to look nicer, so he's wearing a button down shirt, his hair's wet and he's fiddling with his cuffs as he waits at the counter.

"Well, it's not like he's asked. If he does, then obviously I have to tell him, but I don't even think telling him would change anything."

Beat.

"Besides, this is Taichi, master of evading awkward subjects. He's not going to ask."

Yamato's not bitter, Quentin. You're bitter.

[heatherandsteel]

Quentin has no idea what to say, so shifts to have his side against Yamato,

"Yeah, Toby's like that. Why talk when you can drink coffee?"

[angry_friendship_wolf]

"There's definitely something to be said for drinking coffee instead of talking, though," Yamato says wryly, leaning against Quentin.

[heatherandsteel]

"It works at every time of day and the stains blend well with blood."

[angry_friendship_wolf]

"I'm still very glad that Digimon don't bleed. Our battles are way less messy than the norm."

[heatherandsteel]

"Lucky,"

His magic is connected to blood but he hates it and he's seen too much of it. Leaning against Yamato is nice and he puts his head on Yamato's shoulder.

[angry_friendship_wolf]

Yamato chuckles a little, settling one hand against Quentin's head to play with his hair, and rather awkwardly eating his chicken waffle sandwich with the other.

[heatherandsteel]

This is nice and Quentin relaxes as a cat walks by and gives them a look. He sits up and says with a wave, "Only Raj gets to glare at me that way."

The cat moves on and Quentin sighs, "Sorry, cats."

[angry_friendship_wolf]

"How do you know that cat even knows Raj? I'm guessing they can't all know each other. Even in one city, there'd be too many."

[heatherandsteel]

"Because they all know each other. Cats are just that way."

[angry_friendship_wolf]

"If you say so," Yamato says wryly. "You're the expert, after all."

[heatherandsteel]

"Not that much of an expert, I've just seen it work."

[angry_friendship_wolf]

"More of an expert than me, then, at the very least."

[heatherandsteel]

"Yeah, its hard to avoid cats in our house. How's Gabumon to live with? Does he fall asleep on you?"

[angry_friendship_wolf]

"Gabumon is -- Gabumon. He's pretty quiet and calm, especially by the standards of our partners, so he usually either helps me out with cooking and stuff, or he finds a good book."

Beat.

"He does fall asleep on me, though. Which is fine."

Gabumon's not exactly heavy, after all.

[heatherandsteel]

"None of the cats know how to cook, Raj included, but May makes us do the dishes sometimes. How loud can some of the other partners get?"

[angry_friendship_wolf]

Dryly: "You've met Mimi, you've seen how loud she can get. Her partner is just as much her as Gabumon is me, so -- about that loud."

Palmon is definitely the loudest of the partners. Agumon comes in at a very close second, though.

[heatherandsteel]

Quentin winces and readjusts against Yamato as he starts on his sweet waffle, "That must be annoying."

[angry_friendship_wolf]

"It's honestly not that bad. You get used to it."

[heatherandsteel]

"She did seem nice just persistent. Do you want to get closer to the music? I think the next band should be starting soon. They're meant to be more rock."

[angry_friendship_wolf]

"Yeah, sounds like a good idea," Yamato says. He doesn't stand just yet -- he doesn't want to dislodge Quentin's head from his shoulder -- but he will when Quentin does.

[heatherandsteel]

After a moment, Quentin moves to sit up though he stay close to Yamato, "I don't know how close we can get to the stage."

[angry_friendship_wolf]

"Probably not that close. But we'll see, I guess," Yamato smiles.

[heatherandsteel]

"Yes," As Quentin heads towards the stage, a colored and flying mass of pixies descends from the street lamps and starts chirping at them and poking them, "Hey, we're not invading."

[angry_friendship_wolf]

Yamato gives the pixies a slightly guarded look, but lets Quentin do the talking, and avoids instinctively jerking away from them, even though he really wants to.
