Irish again bringing you another drabble to keep this calendar moving! Read and enjoy! :)
The date went smoothly as the couple explored some late-night scenery around Odaiba. By the time they returned to Biyomon's residence, it was near midnight, so silence – whispering at the most – was supposed to be the approach they took so that didn't disturb anyone.
Needing some fresh air, the pink bird stepped out onto the balcony for what seemed to have been a good fifteen minutes, leaving Hawkmon inside.
"Ooh, Biyo, where have you gone my darling?" Biyomon couldn't believe what she just heard.
Upon hearing the glass door opening, Hawkmon came out, half walking and half stumbling his way towards his girlfriend.
"Umm, hey," Biyomon responded, uncertain what to make of the situation at hand.
As Hawkmon came closer, Biyomon could smell something familiar from the avian's breath.
'Oh, please tell me he didn't do that…'
"Babe, I have to tell you, whatever you guys have in your cupboards, you need more of it!" Hawkmon said while adding a cheesy grin.
"What did you rummage for in the cupboards if you don't mind me asking?"
"Some sort of drink…I don't know what it's called, darn the Japanese language," Hawkmon cursed.
"You can show me what you had, and please do not make a sound," Biyomon ordered as she opened the glass door and marched into the kitchen with Hawkmon following.
"See, here it is!" Hawkmon stated as he held up a medium-sized bottle in his wings. Upon the cover was labeled a title and words in Japanese.
"It looked a lot like water, and I was thirsty after all that flying, so I thought that I'd–"
"That's not water, that's Sake. You just consumed alcohol."
Hawkmon was relatively silent for a couple seconds before stating, "Come again?"
"Sake is an alcoholic drink in Japan. Sora explained what it was when I came across it – only her parents have a bit of it every now and then. How much did you drink?"
Setting the bottle down on the ground, Hawkmon took two of his digits and made an estimate that covered the bottom of the bottle to where the label started…all in all, not that much.
"You're telling me that you took a swig of that and you're partially tipsy?" Biyomon questioned in annoyance.
"Well, since you put it that way, I am feeling a bit tipsy…" Hawkmon said as he stumbled towards Biyomon, his wings rested on top of her shoulders.
Biyomon drew out a sigh before speaking. "Look, you're fine. You'll feel better in the morning."
"Well, in that case I'll be leaving then," Hawkmon tried to leave but Biyomon clamped her wings around his waist, startling the avian.
"No, you aren't, especially in your current condition; you are staying here for the night."
Biyomon led her boyfriend to the living room couch. Once situated, Hawkmon laid down on the cushions as exhaustion started to take over his body.
"See, this is the reason why I love you so much," Hawkmon managed to spill out before he went off to sleep.
Biyomon looked at the digimon, silently snoring, as she pondered how he just said the phrase that means the world for couples everywhere.
Lovely way to end a date, eh? And an even better discussion for the 'awkward' prompt coming up next!
I know what most of y'all are thinking..."This isn't normal or right for Hawkmon to act." I know, but I feel like once in a while you need to let loose a bit (or simply regard bad drinks for good drinks) and it kind of adds something to his character (at least I think it does).
As for the reason I chose Sake is stated by Hawkmon; it looks like water. I did my research on this and that is my interpretation.
Happy reading and see y'all next chapter!
