This is a follow-up to my previous chapter, Rose.
Celebration
Had it really been a whole year since they were reunited? Machinedramon knew it was true - his memory units never lied, after all - and yet he could scarcely believe it himself.
In any case, this called for a celebration! At least, he was pretty sure it did...Machinedramon's knowledge regarding the traditions of non-robotic digimon was rather shaky, but MetalSeadramon reassured him that, yes, this was indeed cause to celebrate.
A few weeks before, MetalSeadramon had found an unopened bottle of champagne washed up on the beach; he'd brought it back to their cave, holding onto it for precisely an occasion like this. Likewise, Machinedramon was saving a drum of quality motor oil that he'd come across during one of his rummages for spare parts.
"Cheers!"
Cracking open the champagne bottle at the neck with his powerful jaws, MetalSeadramon downed its contents with one fell gulp as Machinedramon slowly sipped away at the oil. The two digimon contentedly sat side by side at the entrance to their cave, watching the sun as it set over the ocean.
"What a wonderful day this was...pity that anniversaries come only once a year," mused Machinedramon.
"Anniversaries are nice and all," replied MetalSeadramon as he nuzzled up against his boyfriend, "but y'know, personally...I'm just as happy today as I am any other day that I get to spend with you."
