" what were you thinking " joe scrowl after the victory they had " I told you we have to know more before attacking!"
Taichi shrugs " hey we won didn't we "
Joe growl at that " not the point "
There was tension between the two for awhile
" let find the other " joe huff a few second later and walk ahead " gomamon let go "
Taichi follow " hey joe " he call
Joe turn around to meet taichi eye
" thanks " taichi mumble
Joe sigh and approach the younger boy " taichi , im the oldest I have to look out for all of you "
" especially you " joe voice turn stern as he continue " you act on instinct and that often led to uncall situation "
" it better then over analyzing everything " taichi shout back
Joe was shock but scowl straight after
The two boy glare at each other each not willing to give in
" joe " gomamon say to diffuse the situation " come on "
" he need to be more responsible Gomamon!" Joe rebut in fustration throwing his hand in the air
" I don't see you being the leader " taichi bit back and joe snap his head back to the boy in anger
the two return to exchanging heated glare
" look " joe huff " im not saying acting on instinct is bad , you lead us out of lot of situation but you have to know that logical thinking is important too "
" I only act this way because you are here joe " taichi reply , giving a small smile to the elder boy
" huh ?"
" I know that you will always be there to support me that why I act purely on instinct " taichi explain " I might be reckless but you are my voice of reason and I know I can count on you if I mess up "
Joe expression soften
" thanks I guess ... and taichi ? i will always support you "
" even if I mess up ?"
" especially when you mess up "
ll
" you are asking me for girl advice "
Joe did not miss the surprise in yamato voice
" it not like I can ask the other " joe reply shyly rubbing the back of his neck
" and why can't you ask the others ?" Yamato question
" I can't ask the girl for sure and takeru is too young for me to ask " joe reply with a huff
" koushiro and taichi?" Yamato ask
" Im not about to advice from them !" Joe exclaim and yamato have to agree with that , recalling the boy attempt of love
Kuroshio stammer when approach by a girl he like and taichi ... he simply do not care much about girl at this point
" beside they are not the one with girlfriend so please " joe beg and Yamato give in
" sit " yamato order patting his living room sofa which joe comply
" now , tell me more about the girl "
Yamato say staring right at the nervous boy
" i saw her one day and I just kind of like her " joe explain with a blush
Yamato was surprised at that , he would not expect joe to fall in love at first sights
" you like her just by seeing her ?!"
"No " joe exclaim shaking his head in protest " that caught my attention but she in my class and the more I talk to her , the more I like her "
Joe expression soften and give a small smile as he continue " she kind and she smart "
Yamato scratch in chin thoughtfully at that
" alright then here my advice " Yamato say and joe lean closer to the boy , seeing he have the elder boy attention , Yamato announce his grand advice
" confess to her "
" what !" Joe exclaim
" confess to her , being direct is the approach to get a girl "
Yamato say nodding encouraging to joe
Joe only narrow his eye at that
" so why is it that sora have to confess to you ?"
ll
Joe look at the young girl ... women
She was rubbing her ankle with a whine
he was surprise by how much she change and didn't change
She still demanding but she definitely complain a lot less then she use to
Joe bend down to examine her ankle " it just sprain can you walk ?"
The woman nodded and stand up determined just to fall down again
Joe smile a little at that , if this was still the young Mimi , she would have ask him to carry her straightway
He position his back to her " come on princess Mimi , hop on "
Mimi hesitate before replying with a impish grin " what would your girlfriends say if she saw you calling another girl princess huh ?"
"But you are not a girl " joe respond back with a similar grin
" hey!"
Joe ignore the girl protest and probe again " hop on "
The girl hesitate again before climbing to the boy back
Joe set off , grunting a little at the extra weight
" you don't have to carry me you know I can still walk "
" you are definitely heavy " joe huff , earning a smack from the woman " but you are hurt and it my responsibility to ensure you are ok "
" I'm glad I'm lost with you " mimi mumble resting her head on joe left shoulder
" why ?" Joe question
" I alway feel more secure with you " Mimi confess " maybe cause I rely on you a lot when I was younger "
Joe smile at that " hey Mimi ? You can still rely on me you know "
" I know " the women reply and tighten her grip on the young men carrying her " thanks joe and thanks for being patient wit my younger difficult self "
" you sure only when you are younger " joe quip back which Mimi choose to ignore
" hey joe "
" yes ?"
" your girlfriend is a human right ?"
" you still don't believe me ?! "
