1 "Veemon in love: Part 6"
© 2001 *punkV* all characters © digimon ppl, except Umiko-chan. lalala. "Harvey, harvey, harvey- the wonder hamsterrrr!!!" ^^ hehe! Enjoy! ^^ Questions & comments welcome! ^^
Startled, veemon tumbled over backward, onto the floor. He heard a groan, and watched the female veemon sit up, and scratch her head. When she noticed him there, sprawled out on the floor, she smiled. "Back already? How long was I asleep?" She wondered aloud, in a strikingly familiar voice. A rumpled pile of cloths -the very same maroon and navy school uniform Umiko usually wore- was scattered haphazardly around her. Was Umiko out there somewhere? Naked and alone? In the city? That was probably not a good thing, he realized. Naked human beings were usually sent to what Davis referred to as "The nut house." Sounded pretty interesting to Veemon. He always pictured a big house made of nuts. He shook his head to get back to reality.
"W-who are you?" Veemon managed to stutter, pointing his finger at her.
She blinked, and then began to giggle. "Veemon are you feeling alright?" She leaned over the edge of the mattress, grinning like a cat, her tail twitching.
He narrowed his eyes, finally getting a good look at her. She was finely built, with a smaller, petit body. Her finely tapered ears were tipped with white, as well as her tail, which waved hypnotically. She had a few tufts of hair, springing from her forehead in graceful arcs. And lastly, her eyes were a deep, sea blue. The kind of blue that dragged you out with the tide- the kind of blue you saw in the deepest depths of the ocean. It hit him like a ton of bricks.
"UMIKO?!?!" He uttered in disbelief, rubbing his fists over his eyes, not believing what he saw.
She blinked, looking confused. "Of course, who else would I be?"
Veemon was at loss for words, his jaw hanging open. He quickly slammed it shut, and shook his head violently. Was this a dream? It had to be! Umiko couldn't be a veemon, she was a human girl! But then, he realized, she had those markings- and her skin had been turning blue- she had lost weight, and some hair. That explained why she looked the way she did now, somewhat- but not completely. Suddenly, it all seemed to come together- Umiko wasn't like other humans; he had felt that the moment he had first met her- maybe that explained it- maybe she was a veemon! Maybe that was why he liked her so much- maybe she was his own kind after all! But. how? Something didn't quite make sense. How did she get this way? His trail of thought was broken when she spoke up suddenly.
"Is something wrong?" She asked, stretching, and rubbing the sleep out of her eyes. He shook his head to keep himself from gawking. His cheeks flushed bright red.
"N-not exactly." He stuttered, getting to his feet. "-But you look." He trailed off, kicking the carpet with his toe. What was he supposed to say? What could he say?
She blinked, and cocked her head to the side, the way she always did, looking at him. "What do you mean?"
Getting an idea, he leapt up beside her, and took her hand in his. She blinked looking a little confused, then looked at him. He felt his cheeks grow warm. He shook his head to clear it. "Er- follow me!" He leapt to the floor cleanly, Umiko trailing behind in confusion. He threw the door of the bathroom open cleanly, and reached up to flick on the light. "Look in the mirror-" He instructed, she blinked, and turned to him again.
"Uh- I can't.See." She pointed upward, and veemon realized that she obviously couldn't reach the counter top.
"Oh- no problem-" He stepped up behind her, and circled his arms around her waist. She looked at him in confusion- "What are you doing?" She asked, her cheeks slightly pink.
"Um-" He pushed her upward, she was surprisingly light. "So you can get a good look in the-" Her graceful white-tipped tail waved in front of his face, causing him to lose some composure. "-mirror."
She smiled. "Are you sure you're all right? You look a little pale."
He shook his head quickly, forcing a shaky smile. "Just take a peek in the mirror. ok?"
"Um. ok. I don't know why I would need to look in the-" She trailed off, apparently getting a good look in the mirror. She brought her hand to her forehead, and then slowly down the side of her face. She blinked in confusion. "I- I don't understand." She turned to look down at him.
He let her slide down from his grasp, his palms sliding over her smooth, soft skin. He felt himself shudder in response, but it was a good shudder. She turned to him, questions needing to be answered in her deep blue eyes. Suddenly, she looked a bit angry.
"You don't have anything to do with this do you?" She asked accusingly, turning to face him, her hands on her hips.
Suddenly he just couldn't help it- he burst out laughing!
"W-what exactly is so funny?" She demanded, her cheeks puffed up in annoyance.
"I- I'm sorry- It's just that you look so- heh- do you really think that I would do something like this to you?"
Her face softened. "Well- you never know." She giggled, with a shrug.
For a second, they just stood there, she was inspecting herself in curiosity, he was observing her as well, with much interest. She was looking behind her, watching her own tail swish rythmatically, as if it had life of it's own. She giggled as it swept itself over her nose. Veemon smiled, allowing himself to be swept up into the moment. It was funny- He'd expected her to be a little more upset- but she had gotten over it pretty quickly. He didn't realize he'd been staring at her until she poked him in the arm.
"Whatcha lookin' at?" She asked. "You look like you're in love or something!"
He blushed, realizing just what she'd said. He turned his face away quickly, hoping she hadn't seen his reaction.
She blinked, and her whole face filled with glee.
"You DO?!?!? Oh my god v-chan- who? Who???" She jumped around in excitement, clapping her hands together. He was speechless. What was he supposed to say? He wasn't going to say who that some one was- not now, anyway. Before he could do anything, she grabbed his hand in hers, her eyes all sparkly. He blinked, unsure of what to do.
"I'm so happy for you v-chan!" She squealed, sighing dreamily. "She's a lucky blue. thing. she is." She said, an oddly hopeful yet faraway look on her face. "so what's she like? Wonderful ill bet, she'd have to be!" Umiko backed away, and spun in a circle, her arms out at her sides, like a young bird ready to fly away. Somehow, Veemon thought, despite of Umiko's newly found veemon self- despite of it all- he almost felt like he was drifting away from her, instead of toward, as he hoped. Thing was, he wasn't so sure how to get back to the place they were before- wherever that was- he had to do something- to prevent this drifting away.
"Umiko-" He spoke up abruptly.
"Huuum?" She looked over at him, paused in mid-dance.
"-Well, I don't have a girlfriend. Ok Umiko?" He paused for a moment, unsure if he should go on. "-But. I do like someone."
She smiled knowingly, raising an eyebrow. "I thought so." She said, drifting off, lightly on her toes. The sun had begun to set, and a soft, orange glow caught her at just the right moment- It was as if she were dancing through fire. Veemon swallowed hard, hoping his heart would stop pounding. He wondered if it was pounding so loud, maybe she could hear it. He thumped his hand over his chest a few times. Then, he realized where was he going to sleep?
That question was answered a few hours later. The stars were out, and the city came alive. Lights of millions off different colors spun beneath them. They stood on the top of the fire escape, watching the milling city below them. People buzzed by in cars, like bees- and lights flashed on and off like someone was flicking a giant light switch.
Umiko leaned out over the railing, tufts of hair swept away from her face from the light breeze. That very same breeze washed over veemon's face; he breathed in deeply, taking in the sweet night air.
"It's so late." Umiko started to say, but was interrupted with a large yawn. "Sorry." She said, sleepily. "-Im just so. tired."
"Yeah," Veemon agreed. However, he wasn't so sure how he was going to sleep, because, obviously, he couldn't sleep in her bed anymore. just the thought of that brought blush to his cheeks. He shook his head quickly, hoping he hadn't been drooling or something.
Umiko jumped down off the railing, with the same catlike grace the tiger cat possessed. Speaking of the tiger cat, he was sitting on the edge of Umiko's bed, peering out at them with a look of regality. The sight of the cat made Veemon flinch, remembering the good- sized scratch he'd gotten a few days back.
"I think ill get ready for bed-" She paused, wondering what she could do to get ready for bed- she no longer wore cloths anymore. "I guess ill brush my hair-" But then, she realized she wasn't tall enough to reach the cabinet.
"Uh- Veemon? Can you give me a lift?" She said, embarrassed.
He smiled "No problem." He shuffled up behind her and gave her a lift. She leapt up onto the counter once she was within reach. She looked down at him and smiled. "Thanks." She said, and sorted through the cabinet, hanging over the sink. When she took the brush out, she realized she no longer had hair to brush- just the few tufts hanging loosely over her forehead. She sighed in defeat, and looked down, only to find Veemon staring up at her. They both blushed and quickly looked away from each other. Getting over the moment, Umiko began her decent from the counter top, which proved more tricky than she originally thought. She slipped halfway down, but Veemon was able to catch her just in time.
She laughed nervously. "Thanks again, You're a regular life saver."
His heart jumped.
She smiled again and slipped like water from his grasp. He watched her walk out of the bathroom and struggle her way up onto the bed. Once up, she sighed in frustration. "I feel so little!" She moaned. She snuggled her way under her covers, shuffling around for a moment to get comfortable. Veemon watched as she finally popped up near her pillow. Her hair was puffed up at awkward angles, and her tail poked up on the other end of the blanket. She shook her head, as the scrawny yet buff tiger cat wandered over to her and curled up near her purring. Somehow, Veemon knew, the cat knew her even though she looked a lot different. For a moment he just stood there, watching her. Figuring he could sleep on the floor again, he wandered toward the corner of the room, where he spent the night not long ago. But before he could get far, he felt some one watching him. He spun around to see Umiko smiling down at him.
"You don't have to stay down there!" She giggled, peeking out from under her blanket.
"Well- where else am I supposed to go?"
She pat the mattress with one palm and slid back into the blanket until he could no longer see her.
"Just because I look different, doesn't mean you have to sleep on the floor. I'm still the same person, Veemon."
"But-" He started to protest.
"Really, I don't mind. I'd feel a lot better with you up here anyway." She whispered.
He leapt up enthusiastically, landing softly next to her. For a moment, he wasn't sure what to do- but then he gathered some courage and wiggled his way under the blanket with her. When he did though, he came face to face with her- her eyes were closed, and she was breathing steadily. To him, it almost looked as if she were smiling. He blinked rapidly, feeling his face go hot. Gathering himself, he smiled.
"Good night, Umi-chan" He whispered, blushing. He remembered the night a while ago when his lips had met hers- in that brief, magical moment- he had felt something- something he knew he would remember forever. Because the feeling he'd felt at that moment was so pleasantly warm- and he wondered, if someday- he and she could experience that warmth- together.
Later that evening, Veemon felt a warm, soft feeling along his left side. He awoke slowly, blinking rapidly to get used to the light. He looked over sleepily, to discover a sleeping Umiko, her hand draped across his chest. Her ear twitched lazily, and her breaths were deep and ryhtmatic. He sighed in absolute, utter bliss, feeling himself go weak. There was only one thing that could possibly make that moment complete- He nudged her gently with his nose, tilting her chin up gently. He kissed her gently; right on the bright yellow "V". Someday, he thought. Maybe I can do this when we're both awake. With that thought, he drifted back to sleep, her sweet, personal scent lingering around him. His chin rested gently on the top of her head, one arm dangling over her hip. The disgruntled tiger cat just yawned, glared at Veemon disapprovingly, and leapt onto the windowsill to greet the next morning's tasty flock of pigeons.
