Author's Note

Another random drabble, staring mostly Wormmon this time. Enjoy.

And could someone help me with the genres here? I can't seem to figure it out.


Of Two Views

Sure, he liked the view. But his aching view was wishing that balcony was closer to the ground.

Wormmon & Ken I

Rating: K+

Genre/s: ?


The numerous appendages clutched at the almost smoothed wall of the apartment complex. Ken had gone the 'usual' way, or usual for human in any case, taking the elevator up to the ninth floor. However two problems prevented him from doing the same: the apartment didn't allow pets (though he would not define himself a pet, even in the days of the Kaiser's reign, rather, a loyal friend), and his parents were yet to know of the digital world, and him.

He couldn't exactly blame his Ken-chan for being afraid to reveal the truth to his parents. It wasn't easy after all to admit what he once was, even more so as it was bound to bring them pain, either by means of a disappointment in that they expected better, or blame in that they took that, just like his earlier apathetic behaviour change, to be the faults of their parenting and their avarice.

Though what parent does not want their son to be the best?

If one asked Ken, he would say it was his fault. If one asked his parents, they would say it was theirs. The Chosen perhaps differed in their answers, as did the digimon, and no-one else really cared.

Differing views...who knew which was right. After all, he, Wormmon, agreed with neither.

He pulled himself over the balcony rail, seconds before he fell flat on his stomach, and the balcony door opened to admit him.

'Hey,' Ken's sweet voice reached his ears, as the gentle hands picked him up, before they stared out the balcony together, looking at the glimmering lights reflecting with the help of the afternoon sun.

The wind ruffled his partner's hair, sending blue strands ticking the other's skin, but he didn't mind.

Once, Ken saw it as a cage. Now...it was freedom. And Wormmon was inclined to agree.

Though his aching feet wished the balcony was closer to the ground.
