Title: The Perfect Fit
Drabble: #36
Rave's prompt: Balloon
Randomly selected pairing: Kenkari
Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon.
Notes: I have recruited the brilliance that is Rave The Rich to choose the prompts and pairings while TK is in France for two weeks (which, as Rave pointed out, coincides nicely with Takeru going to France in World Tour).
Hikari was, without a doubt, the most stunning person in the entire room. And it was a very large room, with a very large number of people in it.
Ken could not stop staring at her, just like many of the other males, while females looked on in a mixture of awe and jealousy. Her dress was baby pink with a wide, black, lace pattern around the waist. It flared out at her hips and ended above her knees, showing off her tiny frame and much of her flawlessly tanned skin. Her hair was clipped back to look simple yet pretty, and her make up in natural colours had not been caked on but instead used tastefully to bring out her features.
She smiled over at Ken and in an instant was standing beside him, and he felt a little self-conscious because he hadn't made any particular effort to differentiate himself from the rest of the young men wearing regular suits.
But she didn't seem to mind. She offered him the balloon in her hand, and shrugged when he politely shook his head in response. Nothing ever fazed her.
He watched, intrigued, while she bit a small hole in the end of the balloon and proceeded breathe in the helium inside. He thought it was a little strange at first; why would anybody want to do that? When, however, she looked up at him and spoke, he understood.
The helium had made her voice squeaky. The funny thing was that it still suited her.
And the next time she laughed and offered the balloon to him, he took it. Anything to see her smile.
