Prompt: "Which member of your OTP... Gets mad at the TV and throws the remote?" (Credit: katie-girl-2 from Tumblr)


#03 - Remote Danger

"There's never anything to watch," Sora said as she leaned back against the couch, flipping channels with the remote toward the TV in front of her.

"Hmm." Taichi leaned toward her from behind the couch, watching the channels fly by in front of him. "Ooh - that variety show's on! Hikari and loved watching that when we were kids."

"Ehh…" Sora continued her channel surfing.

"I guess you didn't watch that much TV as a kid, did you?"

"Mom didn't like me spending too much time in front of it, so I never got into anything."

Sora flipped to the next channel, and Taichi gasped.

"Ah- I love that anime!"

"Boring." Flip.

Taichi groaned. "You're no fun."

A few moments after he walked away, Sora stopped at a channel where the screen was dark. It was clearly a scene that was set at nighttime, and two people were crouching with frightened expressions on their faces.

A third figure appeared at the corner of the screen, but the two remained where they were, unaware of the third.

"Why aren't they moving?" Sora muttered to herself. The figure slowly crept their way toward the pair, while the two tried to talk to each other to calm down. "Get out of there! He's right behind you!"

The figure reached into the inside of his cloak and pulled out a knife.

"Run…!" Sora squealed.

She then screamed as a hand landed on her shoulder. Taichi laughed at how quickly she became engrossed in the horror movie.

"You must be having fun-"

"Shh!" she hissed, watching the figure slowly inch his way toward the pair.

"They still haven't noticed him yet?" Taichi asked. He whirled around the couch from the back and plopped right next to Sora to watch with her.

"Come on…"

The two on screen straightened up, as though they were ready to get up and run. They screamed the moment they realized that the villain was behind them and made a run for it.

"Finally," Sora said with a sigh.

Into the barn the couple went, and Taichi thought about how smart the male was for finding a safe space for him and his female companion. The attacker passed by the front door of the barn, unsuspecting.

"I like that guy," said Taichi, watching the young man hold the female in comfort while they waited for the attacker to walk further away. "He'd do anything to protect his girl."

"I don't know if she feels the same way…" Sora added as the camera panned to the female with an unreadable glint in her stare.

"I think we should be safe to leave," said the female to her male.

"Wait!" said the male. "Before we go out there, I just want to tell you…"

"Don't say it…" said Taichi.

"That I…"

"No, don't…" said Sora.

"I've been in love with you all this time."

As the couple kissed, Taichi and Sora groaned together, though for different reasons. Taichi didn't think it was the right time to make a confession, but Sora was only skeptical of the young woman's feelings.

That was when the young woman reached for her back pocket, revealing a knife of her own. Sora gasped, but not as loud as Taichi did.

"No way…!" Taichi shouted.

"I knew it!" added Sora, and they both watched the female strike the male's back before she parted lips with him. Then, the woman opened the barn door while the male shrieked in pain, catching the attention of the attacker.

"It was either you, or me, baby," said the female.

"You monster!"

Taichi yelled in protest at the TV, anger and disbelief growing as he watched the female's malicious grin form on her cheeks and the attacker returning to the front of the barn. When the female pushed the male toward the attacker, Taichi couldn't stand it anymore.

"That traitor!" he shouted, grabbing the remote and holding it up in the air and back.

"Taichi!" Sora shouted back suddenly, grabbing his hand for resistance. "Taichi! You are not breaking the TV!"

"Can you believe that, Sora! That bi-!"

The excruciating screams on the TV interrupted their bickering. Taichi and Sora turned to see the male lifeless on the ground, and the female getting stabbed by the attacker in the end, anyway.

"We had a deal!" were the female's dying words.

"THE END" appeared on the screen, and Taichi lowered his arms. He knew what he was about to do, and he knew that Sora knew the same. They both sat in silence watching the credits roll.

After a few moments of silence, Sora turned to Taichi. "Maybe that's enough TV for me for the day."

As though nothing happened, Taichi held the remote to change the channel.

"A-ha! Women's Soccer!" he said

Sora's eyes widened. "The U.S. and Netherlands?! We've gotta watch this!" Sora immediately jumped out of her seat to ready their snacks in the kitchen, knowing that they would both be glued to the TV for a while. She returned with a large bowl of popcorn and two bottles of beer, and when she sat next to Taichi she made sure to plant a kiss on his lips before she settled next to him.

"Hey, you didn't lose the remote, did you?" Sora said suddenly.

"Don't worry about it," said Taichi with a smile. He knew how intense Sora had gotten during a soccer match, and he hated to admit he was the same. Because of this, he hid the remote underneath the couch, where neither of them could easily find to cause any damage.

A/N: I never had got a clear answer for myself with this question. I have a hard time visualizing one more likely to do this than the other; therefore, I think they'd be on equal footing when it comes to this question.

Initially, I wrote it as Sora throwing the remote. XD

Anyway, thanks for reading. Follow me on Tumblr and Twitter. And I now have a Discord! Come chat with me! :) (PM me for the link or find it in my Tumblr!)

Love to you all. xoxo
