9. Vacation
Sashenka loves Nikolai.
He does. Without shame. Without fear. Why not? They were partners, of course. It was only right to keep an eye on him, only right to worry about him.
Taht didn't mean it wasn't exhausting some days. Or most days. Or every day.
His master had a bad habit of muttering to himself. He wasn't good with his clothes. He cooked simple meals and was poor with numbers. His homework went unfinished until late and night when he fell asleep over it.
He and Taiga were the closest of friends.
It was lonely.
Digimaru didn't really mind but he was Digimaru and unfortunately hopelessly enamored by the very existence of a partner. He just wasn't a cynical 'mon and it was exasperating sometimes.
At least he didn't bother Sashenka during class. Just poor Taiga. Sashenka took the free moments to sleep. After all, he would be up late tonight.
Would Niko say anything different if he could hear him? He hoped so.
Or maybe he would say nothing at all? Sashenka wasn't sure if he wanted to know.
