Summary: After the summer camp, Yamato reflects.
Warnings: OoC, otherwise none
After returning from the Digital World, his bond with the other kids strengthened. Summer camp resumed as if nothing happened. They could build fires without any help from the Camp's instructor; set up tent without any squabbling; look for food in the woods like pro-survivors could. It felt right to be with the others. Even just for a while--it seemed like forever at first, but had been too short in the end. He exchanged numbers with the others, hoping to keep in touch with them after summer vacation--as expected from the bearer of Friendship.
Once he said good bye, bag slung over his shoulder, Takeru by his side and arm waving to the others, he realized how much they had grown; how much they had learned; how much he would miss the rowdy company and the World that might not open to him again. Takeru had promised to call every week when mother came home to pick him up, and enxlosed his good bye with an "I love you, brother,"
School didn't start until after two weeks so life went on after that. He spent serious thought on his future. What exactly did he want to become in the near future? What exactly did he want to do with his life? Should he consider a career now or just after his studies? Dad got worried when he found him brooding over the same things and talked to mother, wondering if something had happened back in summer camp.
A week after that, Mimi called first--breaking the news that she would be moving to America. She was so excited she rang everyone up; she shared with him and added that she would miss everyone. Then Taichi called, asking him to come over to his house for a meeting of sorts.
He did.
Taichi had invited everyone over and discussed pricking the date they returned from the Digital World as the Most Memorable date of the year.
Mimi gushed to Sora about her plans to America and promised to write. Koushirou revealed he and his parents were talking to each other about everything and anything. Sora admitted she was following her mother's footsteps in flower arranging. Jou announced he would take the national exams to enter a prestigious med school that would help him along his career of becoming a doctor. Hikari and Takeru had arranged play dates with each other. And Taichi... he treated everyone with ice cream his mother had bought the day before.
"Brother, you aren't supposed to give away our ice cream. Mother will kill you," Hikari had crawled over to her older brother and hissed at him.
"She wouldn't. We're being the perfect hosts," Taichi pointed out.
Sora, on Taichi's right, gave him a disapproving look, obviously overhearing them.
"Taichi,"
"What?"
She let out a sigh and lightly whacked his head.
"Let's buy another one after this," she had offered.
Taichi readily agreed after whining about the pain she had inflicted on his poor head.
Yamato had turned away as soon as he noticed a dust of pink on Sora's face and ate his scoop of ice cream a bit too quickly.
Icy fingers strung a climatic chord up to his brain, making him wince and pinch his eyes closed. The frosty sensation was gone after a moment as warm hands rubbed his temples.
"Silly Yamato," Sora's motherly voice finally reached his ears and he found himself staring into her red eyes.
"Sorry,"
He pushed her hands aside and focused all his attention on the ice cream.
