Hiatus
Author's Note: Based on the real-life hiatus Digimon Ghost Game went on. Enjoy the story and R&R.
Disclaimer: I do not own anything related to or of the Digimon series.
Pairing: Established Hiro x Kotaro.
Summary:
Nomura Kotaro feels Amanokawa Hiro has been missing in action.
"I feel you've been avoiding me."
"Avoiding you?"
"It's like you took a hiatus. We're in the same building and go to the same school, yet I haven't seen you. You secretly a ghost, Hiro? Where have you been, man?"
"A ghost…Kotaro, I blink and you're flirting with that girl in the hall. I'm not surprised you didn't notice me."
That was as retaliatory as Hiro was ever going to get toward Kotaro.
"Don't try to pin this on me! I wouldn't suddenly forget my boyfriend exists! Yes, I'll admit I hit on that girl due to my bad habits! But I can't exactly hit on you when you're MIA this long! Give me the truth, Hiro!"
Anybody but Hiro, Kotaro would have very publicly been abandoned by the side of the road by now.
Hiro was a saint for tolerating Kotaro's wandering eyes and fickle love.
"The truth? I was occupied."
"For weeks?"
"Technical difficulties."
"What does that mean, Hiro?"
"Digital interference."
"Whaat?"
Mummymon, Pumpmon, Jyureimon, Frozomon, Archnemon…I was finding a new way a week to get tied up by a different Digimon. And when I wasn't, I was dealing with someone under the effects of mind control or under a Digimon's control myself.
He wasn't telling Kotaro a lick of that.
Hiro didn't say that out loud.
"I wasn't ghosting you on purpose."
"Okay. I believe you. Can you explain it better, at least?"
Yes. He owed Kotaro an explanation.
Kotaro was his best friend.
Kotaro was his boyfriend.
"I was hacked."
