Vegetable Soup for the Digi-romantic Soul #7-Mimato
Save the One You Love
By Carter Tachikawa
Okay, I've got to talk again. The newest fic is here. I changed the name the Mimato fic.
Despite all the things I've heard about the end of D2, I'll still work on these. I won't tell
anyone any spoilers unless you already know. I'll still have Daikari, Kekari, Sorato,
Michi, and Daiyako. I'm also taking requests for any couples in this series or anything I
haven't done yet. 5 or more, you guys got it! Also, another note: this is a COLLECTION
of different digi-couples all taking place in different time frames. Someone was confused
about that so I'd thought I'd clarify. Just cause they're chaptered doesn't mean they
follow one another. Sorry for the inconvenience. I don't own Digimon. It's Mimato here.
Well, gotta go! Bye!
"God, my stomach hurts!" Yamato Ishida moaned when he woke up in the morning. Did he accidentally eat his father's failed attempt to make a tuna casserole? He wasn't that foolish enough to do that. Still...
"Hello!" his younger brother, Takeru Takaishi, bounded in. "How ya' doing, Matt?"
"Terrible."
"Jun's been chasing you again?"
"Believe me, I wish that's what it was. I'm having a major stomachache right now."
"Have you had any medicine?"
"Three times already."
"Hmm", TK suddenly looked concerned. "What did you eat this morning? Please tell me it wasn't anything Dad made!"
"No. Come to think of it, I made my own breakfast and lunch. But I felt better then. I mean, my stomach did hurt but...not as much. Ow!"
"You better rest. Anyway, I came to tell you some good news."
"Really? What?" Matt walked into his room with TK at his heels. There, he plopped down on the bed. TK sat next to him.
"Mimi's coming down again."
"She is? What for?"
"It's Easter Break in America. So she's coming down for about three days."
"Only three?"
"Geez, you're starting to act like Izzy! All you're doing is asking questions!"
"Sorry. It's cause I'm...curious", Matt grinned. TK shook his head.
"Bro, get some rest. Take some more medicine if needed. Mimi is coming over tonight. All of us Digidestined will be there at the airport."
"You're right. The pain is excruciating!"
"Look", TK's voice became softer. "Do you want me to stay here with you? You really don't look good. You're turning pale..."
"No, TK. I'll be fine."
"You sure? I don't know..."
"I'm absolutely certain. You can leave me alone, TK."
"Well...all right", TK didn't believe him but didn't say anything else. "Just get some rest. If it gets worse, call the doctor."
"Whatever. Ow! It feels like someone's shooting me here!"
"I'll ask one more time: are you certain you'll be all right?"
"Yes. Now go."
"Okay", TK got off the bed. He wanted his brother to feel better. After all, Mimi Tachikawa was coming over and TK knew Matt had a crush on her. At least, that's what he thought. Matt almost always went into a trance when anyone mentioned her name. But did she like him back?
"Get better, Matt", he whispered and then closed the door.
* * *
"Hey TR! Where's your brother?!" Davis demanded. It was later in the day and all the Digidestined were gathered in the airport.
"Matt's not feeling good. He was complaining about a stomachache."
"Poor thing", Sora sympathized. "I hope he gets better."
"He really didn't look good", TK said. "I wanted to stay with him but...you know Matt is sometimes."
"Oh yeah", Tai said with a nod. "All too well, TK."
"Maybe I can see what's wrong with him", Joe suggested. "I'm studying to be a doctor. I think I'd be able to cure him."
"Would you?"
"Sure. Free of charge too."
"Then come to Matt's house after we pick up Mimi."
After what seemed like eons, Mimi stepped out of the terminal. For the Digidestined, it was a big reunion.
"I feel like I haven't seen you in years!" Mimi exclaimed.
"Same here!" Yolei added. "It's great to see you again, Mimi!"
"I'm glad to see everyone too." Mimi began looking around. "Hey, TK? Where's your brother?"
"Matt? Matt's...not feeling too well", TK admitted.
"Oh dear! What happened?"
"I don't know. He's at home."
"Well, you've got to take me over to his place! I've got to see him!"
TK was surprised by this request. Mimi hadn't asked to see his brother before. Of course, that may have been because he'd been there before. But still...she sounded so urgent. What could she possibly want with him?
"Why don't you come with us?" Joe suggested. "I'm going to try and figure out what's wrong with him."
"Good. I'll come! Let's go!" Mimi grabbed his hand and started moving through the crowd. The others were having a hard time catching up with her.
"Mimi! Slow down!" Kari called from behind her. Mimi ultimately slowed down when they reached the baggage claim.
"Mimi, why are you in such a hurry to see Matt?" Cody asked.
"Well...guys, I have a bad feeling that something happened to him. Something bad and that if I don't come, it'll get worse. I think he's in trouble!" Mimi whispered dramatically.
"Huh?!" the others looked at her strangely.
"I doubt he'll be in so much trouble, Mimi. But if you're worried, we'll go see him. Get your bags first though", Tai suggested.
The Digidestined helped Mimi carry all her luggage over to the car. All the while, Mimi still moved faster than she normally did. What was going on with her?
"Mimi...why are you so worried about my brother?" TK asked.
"I already told you. He's in trouble! I can feel it!"
TK decided to take a stab. "You like him, don't you?"
"Huh?" Mimi looked at him strangely.
"That's why you're getting this funny feeling. It's okay. We understand. But you need to relax. We're going to see him right now."
"I'm telling you, TK. Your brother is in trouble."
TK nodded but wasn't too sure of what Mimi was saying. They remained silent for the rest of the ride but TK could see that she was anxious. She clasped her hands really hard. TK could only hope that she was wrong, that Matt was okay.
* * *
"Dad?" Matt phoned his father at work. "When are you coming home?"
"Not until midnight. Why?"
"I'm not feeling good. I have this pain in my stomach."
"Did you tell your mother?"
"Yeah."
"Well, son, I'm sorry. I can't get off until midnight. Look...just take some aspirin."
"Believe me, that's all I've been doing. Taking aspirin and sleeping. Neither thing is helping me. Dad, what do I do?"
"Ask your mom to come over. I can't help you right now, son. Get TK to come over too."
"TK's gone to pick Mimi up at the airport. But I'll call Mom. Bye!"
"Bye, son."
Matt hung up the phone. The pain shot through his right side again. Clutching it, he tried to make it back to his bed. Somehow it was difficult to stand up and walk. He ended up on the couch again.
"Maybe TK should have stayed with me", he groaned. He had never felt so bad in his life. What had gone wrong? Surely he couldn't have eaten something bad...could he? He tried to sleep but it was hard to close his eyes. The pain shot right back up.
At that moment, there was a knock on the door. Matt opened his eyes and tried to sit up. The pain got a whole lot worse.
"Ow, my stomach!" he moaned for the seventieth time today. The knocks became louder and more urgent. Somehow, he was unable to get over there. Sighing, he fell back down. The pain increased when he did so.
* * *
"Your brother's not answering!" Mimi said frantically.
"Relax! I have the key", TK searched his pockets and fished it out. He put it in the keyhole and turned the knob. The three of them walked. "Hey, Matt? I bought Mimi and Joe!"
"TK, don't yell", Matt said from the couch. "I don't think I can bear this anymore!"
"Oh dear!" Mimi ran over to the couch. "What hurts, Matt?"
"My stomach, especially my right side."
"I think you may have appendicitis. Call the doctor, TK! We're headed off to the hospital!"
"I have what?!"
"Don't talk! Just come with me." Mimi helped him up. "You need help."
"Mimi..."
"I mean it! Come on."
"Mimi, I..."
Mimi kissed him on top of his head. "It's okay. You're going to get better. I knew this had happened."
"It hurts too much..."
"I know. But you'll be fine. I'm here..."
* * *
Minutes later, Matt's family and friends had arrived at the hospital. Matt just had his appendix removed and was now resting. After spending what seemed like forever in the waiting, they were able to visit him. Jun had come over with a zillion goodies for him.
"I was worried when I heard that!" she was saying.
"Thanks for worrying about me", Matt replied. "But can you leave me alone now?"
"Oh yes, honey! Rest all you want!" Jun giggled and left. The others entered.
"I thought she'd never leave", he sighed. "Hey, guys."
"Hey, yourself. Guess what I have?" Tai held out a jar with something pink in it. "Ta da! It's your appendix!"
"Cool", Matt said nonchalantly.
"You can name it Jun if you like", Davis said jokingly.
"Maybe I might. So what really happened to me?"
"I was right. You had appendicitis. Your appendix was inflamed. If we hadn't gotten you here in time, it would have burst...and there was a possibility you could have died." Joe explained.
"Thanks for being there, guys. I don't know what I'd do without you", Matt said.
"Thank Mimi. She got the feeling that you were in trouble", TK said.
"It's...nothing. Really. I'm not psychic." Mimi said nervously.
Noting her hesitation, Matt motioned for the others to leave. Mimi sat down next to him.
"Why'd you do that?" he asked.
"You mean come over to your place?"
"Yeah. I know you're not psychic. Something else triggered inside you and let you know I was in trouble. What was that?"
"Well..."
"Mimi?"
"Matt, I love you. I always have. I guess that's what triggered that feeling inside."
"Really?"
"Uh-huh. Silly reason, huh?"
"No. I'm glad you were worried. I'm also glad to know you love me."
"Oh Matt", Mimi leaned over and kissed him on his forehead. "I thought I was going to lose you if I didn't see you."
"But you haven't. Thank you for saving me."
"I didn't..."
"In a way, you did. I love you too, Mimi. I'd probably do the same."
"Thank you", Mimi kissed him one more time, this time on the cheek. "That's why I came here. I wanted to tell you that but I was afraid how you'd take it."
"You shouldn't have been", with that, Matt kissed her firmly on the lips.
Well, that was the Mimato. Next up...Daikari. R & R. Carter.
