Hey everyone long time no see! I decided to rewrite my old ShoutmonxGumdramon fanfics since I felt they were in need of a rewrite. I'm also getting back into Digimon a bit so I found this the perfect time to do it. Im leaving the original up for the time being but may delete it later on down the line.
This story is also posted on my Wattpad and A03
Warning: Characters may be out of character (And really by characters I mean Cutemon more likely than others but I do enjoy writing him like this so I hope you guys won't mind too much.)
It was only a few months after Xros Heart defeated Bagramon and his army, leaving Shoutmon to take his place as the new king of the Digital World. The following months after, Quartzmon was defeated and the Digimon were separated from their partners once again. Though it wasn't long after that before the Digimon were reunited with their partners and the rest of the Xros Heart team. In the continuous reconstruction of the Digital World, that's when Shoutmon began noticing Gumdramon's weird behavior; even Cutemon began taking notice as well.
Shoutmon, who was being accompanied by Taiki, Yuu, Tagiru, Gumdramon, Akari, and Zenjirou, was vistiting the Disc Zone to checking in on it's repairs. The zone had collapsed during the fight with Bagra and Blue Flare from all the vibrating and shaking but was now basically completely restored for the most part. Shoutmon was going to visit Lunamon and the other residents of the zone to see how they've been doing. Finding Lunamon, Shoutmon began chatting with his friend as Lunamon continued to thank Shoutmon for saving her home and friends.
"I can't thank you enough! If you hadn't become the King, the Digital World would have never been reborn and we would have not gotten our zone back." Lunamon beamed, thanking Shoutmon for his hard work
"It's nothing really, Lunamon." Shoutmon grinned before taking notice of the slightly crushed DigiNoir box that Lunamon was holding in her hands. It was the same one Shoutmon had given to Lunamon way back then. "You still have that DigiNoir box I gave you?"
Lunamon gave a nod in response, causing Shoutmon to blush slightly red barely visible on his already red skin.
"Yes, like I said before, I'll keep it forever just to remember you."
Just the thought of Lunamon keep a silly box of food that he signed and gave her just to remember him was enough to make his face burn red a bit more.
At the same time, Gumdramon was exploring around the Disc Zone, Cutemon, who wanted out of the Xros Loader, following close behind Gumdramon, when he noticed Shoutmon and Lunamon. Moving closer to be in earshot, Gumdramon listened in on their conversation a frown spreading across his face. Noticing the frown, Cutemon became curious as to why the purple dragon was frowning.
"What's wrong, Gumdramon?" Cutemon asked
"Nothing, keep it down or they will hear us." Gumdramon answered looking back over to Shoutmon and Lunamon. He had lied, something was wrong, he felt...jealous. Jealous of Lunamon and he didn't know why. Why should he care if Shoutmon and Lunamon liked each other? Just watching them chat and laugh made the jealousy inside him bubble and made his heart ache. What set Gumdramon off the most was seeing Shoutmon blushing.
"What? Does Ousama like Lunamon or something?" Gumdramon grumbled under his breath, forgetting that Cutemon was behind him
Overhearing Gumdramon's grumbling, Cutemon put two and two together as a smirked crept up onto his face.
"Gumdramon, are you jealous of Lunamon?" Cutemon questioned
"W-What? No! I'm not jealous of Lunamon!" Gumdramon snapped quickly, glaring at the pink digimon, as a light red blush dusted his face.
Gumdramon continued glaring at Cutemon for a moment until realization hit him. He froze as he realized that he had yelled and surely Shoutmon and Lunamon had heard him. Sure enough both digimon had heard Gumdramon's yelling as Shoutmon made his way towards Gumdramon.
"Shit..." Gumdramon cursed as he peeked behind him to see Shoutmon coming towards him.
Without another thought, Gumdramon began running. He didn't know where he was running to but that didn't matter to him. After that he did not believe he could face Shoutmon at this moment.
"Gumdramon wait!" Shoutmon called out to Gumdramon, who didn't stop running. Quickly, Shoutmon turned to Cutemon "Can you tell Lunamon I'll be back? I'm going to go after Gumdramon."
"You got it!" Cutemon nodded before heading in Lunamon's direction
Hearing Cutemon's answer was enough as he turned and ran off in the same direction Gumdramon had gone off in hoping to catch up with the purple dragon before he ran too far off. Gumdramon just kept running, not paying attention to where exactly he was running as he looked back hoping that no one was following him. Unfortunately, with the purple dragon distracted at that moment, he ended up running directly into one of the Disc Zone's mountains and falling over into unconsciousness. Not to far behind, Shoutmon had almost caught up to Gumdramon only to watch as Gumdramon ran into the mountain in front of him. Shaking his head, Shoutmon went over to pick up and carry Gumdramon.
"Ousama..." The unconscious digimon quietly muttered
As Shoutmon carried the unconscious digimon back to where everyone else was in the zone, he overheard Gumdramon muttering as a light blush appeared on Shoutmon's face before shaking his head again. There was nothing strange about Gumdramon having him on his mind, after all Gumdramon was always going on how he was going to surpass him. Nothing more, nothing less; or so he thought. Remembering why he had to chase after Gumdramon in the first place was enough to make him start thinking otherwise. Lost in his own thoughts, Shoutmon continued his way back. After all he couldn't ignore his duties as the king, and he still needed to go over to the Shinobi Zone after finishing checking in on the Disc Zone.
Mostly the same yet completely different from the original. Anyway hope you enjoyed this first chapter.
