Pairing: Pre-slash Takuya x Tomoki.
Summary:
Love is a long game.
"Then I'll kiss you on the cheek!"
It was a long shot, but worth a shot. Everybody else was listing off rewards if Takuya and Kouji defeated Cherubimon. The worst response Tomoki could get was a "Really now…" or "No thanks!" No one would take his offer seriously. No one would know Tomoki was getting his hopes up. Tomoki's suggestion wasn't even outrageous. Bokomon promised them handmade haramaki!
But Tomoki was just a child when he said that. He was a big boy now, and Takuya even bigger than him (age-wise, not height-wise).
"Snowboarding in Niigata? What a great idea, Tomoki! I'll ask the others when they're available!"
Tomoki cringed seeing Takuya's phone. Takuya hadn't upgraded. He was still using outdated tech in this day and age. The kind with actual buttons and a teensy screen that didn't do anything when you touched it!
"Takuya-san."
"Hm? What is it, Tomoki?" Takuya waited for Izumi to pick up.
"Please hang up."
To avoid stumbling over his first (spoken) words to Izumi in months, Takuya ended the call before he was patched through to her.
"Let's go snowboarding now, Takuya-san."
"What? And not invite everyone?"
Tomoki swallowed, his hair covering his eyes. "I don't want anyone to be on the ski lift with you but me."
Dot dot dots appeared over this screen.
"Really now…" Takuya responded.
And here comes the no thanks…
"You know Izumi's abroad right now! You couldn't have interrupted sooner? They almost charged me international rates!"
"Takuya-san, that's what you're focusing on?" Tomoki's jaw slackened. "You're not offended I'm asking you to go with me and only me to GALA Yuzawa Snow Resort?"
"I don't see why we can't!" Takuya hehe'd. "I had a hunch! Good on you, Tomoki! That was a mature decision!"
Tomoki almost had an immature overreaction. Almost. But Takuya's praise made him pull it back.
