A/N: Inspired by lycorith's Twitter birth month meme, as well as Discord discussions.
I wrote one for each of the 12 Digidestined - couldn't resist! Each chapter starts out the same way, and they will be of various lengths and will give you various feels.
Stay safe out there, y'all. Much love xx

The alarm went off. It was 8am. The sunlight blinded me between the curtains that I forgot to shut the night before. I stumbled out of bed and washed up, listening to the blaring of the morning news on the TV downstairs. The big topic was the same as it had been these last few weeks, and I only had to hear the one name to confirm it.
But today was different. The reporter had a different tone as he spoke. I couldn't hear what he said, but sounded more urgent, more concerned. As I shut off the water and dabbed my face with a towel, I realized why when I heard him say what we all had been dreading to hear.
"The mayor of this city has ordered a full city lockdown."
That was when I heard a loud noise downstairs. I ran down the steps as quickly as I could.
But as soon as I realized where the noise came from, I let out a sigh. In the guest room downstairs, Koushiro had left the door open, his PC shooter game on blast.
"KOUSHIRO!"
"Aah!" Koushiro jumped up from his seat, throwing off his gaming headset and frantically lowering the volume. "I'm sorry!"
"I told you to lower it," said Motimon on the side. "You knew she was asleep!"
"The world is in a state of calamity and you're playing your game?!" I cried.
"Well, yeah! Why not?"
"I don't understand you!" I pouted and dropped to the ground.
"Aww, don't be sad," said Motimon, floating across the floor to nuzzle by my side. "We've got each other."
"I guess…" I gathered Motimon into my arms and held him tightly.
"Think about it," said Koushiro. "We're stuck inside. We won't be able to leave the house. Gotta do something to pass the time."
I stare at Koushiro, then at Motimon, both of them shrugging. Sighing again, I got up, pulled up a chair next to Koushiro and watched him unpause the game. It was something I knew I had to get used to, anyway.
