With all the things these kids do, you'd think something like this would've happened. Oh well, I made it happen. It doesn't really matter when this takes place, but I picture TK being about 13. By the way, look out for a reference to TK's season 1 character song.
Fly
Never in his life had TK been afraid of heights. The closer he was to the sky, the more energized he felt. It showed him that he could do anything, be anyone, and all it took was a change in perspective. Yes, TK loved heights, so a flying partner was amazing!
That is, until now.
"Are you ready, TK?"
TK snapped out of his trance and brought his eyes slowly up to Angemon who was knelt down with an expectant look. "F-for what?" He stammered already knowing the answer.
Angemon let out an exasperated sigh. "You'll have to get up in the air again sometime."
He tried to smile reassuringly. "I know. It's just, uh, my arm kind of hurts today. I can go with you another time."
Angemon frowned, "You said that yesterday and the day before that. You're better! Your cast's been off for a week now!"
"The doctor said I should still rest it," TK defended.
"Did he also say never to trust me again?" Angemon muttered.
"I trust you! It's just…"
"You don't trust me to catch you," The large angel digimon finished as he sat and lied his staff down. "That's alright. I don't either." TK stayed silent, at a loss for words. "After years of defending you, I hurt you."
"Ange-"
"I dropped you! I let you fall! What kind of a digimon am I?"
TK spoke up, unable to let his partner wallow in self-pity. "The best digimon! You've done everything for me, and this was just one mistake."
Angemon snorted bitterly. "What if we were higher up, huh? Would've been one deadly mistake."
"Then we'd be even," TK said barely above a whisper. Seeing Angemon's confusion, he clarified, "It was my fault you died along with Devimon."
"No, it wasn't. It was my choice," Angemon protested.
"And it was my choice not to hold on tight enough during the battle."
Angemon sat a minute taking that in. "Then why won't you fly with me?"
"I don't know how things will turn out."
"When do you ever know that?" the angel digimon questioned. "You just have to have the hope to believe it will."
TK couldn't help but brighten up at the mention of his crest. "Have hope?"
Angemon nodded. "It'll always be alright."
TK took a deep breath and stood up, motioning to his partner to do the same. "Let's fly."
