Title: On The Inside
Drabble: #34
TK's prompt: Fruit polos
Randomly selected pairing: Jyoumato
Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon.
Notes: I've been wanting to explore this pairing for a while. Funny how most of my Jyou drabbles seem to have something to do with health. I think I'm obsessed with him being a doctor.


While Yamato is a fan of sweets, Jyou insists that they will eventually rot his teeth and make him fat.

Yamato just laughs and, popping another fruit polo into his mouth, says that he's grateful for his fast metabolism; he can eat like a horse and not put on any weight. As for his teeth, they'll survive as long as he brushes them like he's supposed to. Which he does.

But Jyou doesn't think so. He'll end up with cavities, at the very least, if his sugar intake stays at the level it's at now. And sure, maybe he's not gaining weight on the outside, but there are hidden downsides to not getting flabby. It's probable that, instead, the fat is building up around Yamato's internal organs. And one day it'll lead to problems, Jyou just knows it.

Yamato swirls another fruit polo, an orange one, around his mouth before responding. It's obvious that Jyou's just being cynical because he's training to be a doctor. He's bound to point out the possible, undesirable effects of anything. Even if, by rights, there aren't any. He'll be able to find something because he's Jyou and that's what he does.

A tad miffed, Jyou folds his arms and turns away. Well, Yamato had better not come crying to him when he discovers a multitude of problems lurking beneath his healthy exterior.

In a moment Yamato has moved to stand before Jyou, leaving barely an inch between them. Surely he doesn't mean that. But, as a peace offering, he can have a polo. So he sticks his tongue out, a purple polo perched on the end, and raises his eyebrows suggestively.

Jyou eyes the sweet suspiciously before carefully picking it up with his fingers and dropping it in the bin. Those things are practically sugar in a packet. And besides, he doesn't like the purple ones.
