A/N: Brain tickled me to write a little more, so I did. Enjoy!

There is an unspoken agreement between Takeru and Hikari: they will always avoid Ai-Mart. Cycling past it, they look straight ahead, unable to look at it directly. When they want to get snacks, they go to another convenience store, even though it's further away. Under no circumstances will they ever enter the shop.
Because if they do, they will be greeted by the smiling face of a cashier.
A cashier with an achingly similar face to someone else's and a smile from memories just out of reach.
But that cashier would not... would never be her.

Taichi loves soccer, but he is okay with watching other sports if he has to or has nothing better to do. He will always change the channel if it's kendo, though. Koushiro comes to this conclusion during a lazy afternoon hangout, him finishing up with a project as Taichi waits so they can play video games or talk or whatevers. Even after the 22nd channel change, Koushiro chooses not to question it.
Because if he did, they would have to think about why.
Why they always imagine small hands firmly gripping a shinai, a determined face blurred by a painful static that pushes them away from the thought.
And there is no point in thinking about it since he is gone.

During phone calls, Mimi rambles on and on about everything and nothing to Sora. She talks about fashion, animals, art, food, cars, anything that surfaces in her brain. Contests of skill, from games to math to science, always causes her to pause and quickly move on to another subject. Sora shows concern but never pushes.
Because if she did, they will wonder about first place.
First place which would have most certainly been won by a genius whose cocky aloofness had matured into a humble gentleness.
No longer will those prizes be accepted by him.

Jou knows he can never let his girlfriend meet his friends, especially not Yamato. It is definitely not that he believes she would become charmed by Yamato's handsomeness and musical talent and leave him (okay, maybe a smidgen because boy band members have a massive amount of appeal). Just… with what little time he has in between studying and school, Jou wants to spend it with only the two of them.
Because he is sure that if she met his fellow Digidestined, she will break down.
She would see that someone was missing from their group, someone close to her heart yet lost from her mind.
Tears would be shed for a boy that does not exist.

Once the euphoria of finally meeting their beloved partners again simmers down, the Digimon start to question the absences.

Something glitches in their code, warning them, pleading with them not to pry; so for the sakes of their precious partners, they remain silent.

A/N: I think it's difficult now to copy/paste stuff here? So, if you want me to put translations for the binary on the bottom, feel free to tell me. (Also, yes, I do headcanon Jou's gf as Jun.)
