Okay, whenever I think I'm done with prompt-based challenges, I manage to find a new one, but Digimon needs more stories, and I love torturing my babies.
Matt: I swear, if you hurt my little brother…
I'm not hurting him! I'm emotionally training him.
Matt: *still glares*
Ok, so before I get murdered, this story is based on the prompt for Day 4: "Uneasy" and "Come get me out of my head". This is post-02 after Diaboromon's Revenge but pre-Kizuna.
1. Where am I?
T.K. felt his heart race as the cuffs cut into his wrists, blood trickling down his arm. He didn't remember how long he had been there or why he had been brought here. Had it been days? Months? He had caught glimpses of Davis and the others, but he had not seen his brother or Tai or any of the others. Unless they were being kept in a different part. It had all happened so fast – a normal outing with Davis and the others and then…what had happened then? How had he ended up here? Today was the day he had been wanting to ask Miya out – Matt had helped him, and he had the perfect set-up.
While the others would be getting popcorn and drinks, he would have pulled her aside and asked. But had they even gotten to that part? He remembered meeting up but nothing after that. It was odd, why was that? The thought made him queasy, feeling as if whatever was in his stomach was going to come out.
There were a lot of voices in his head, and he couldn't make out what they were saying but the more he tried to focus on them, the quicker they disappeared. I feel like I'm stuck in my head and it's all I can see.
His heart clenched into his mouth, and he nearly choked as visions surrounded him. His younger self – Mom and Dad fighting because he saw the two monsters that day, Patamon dying to protect him, it was all him, it was all his fault. His Mom and Dad, his partner…everyone suffered because of him in the end. His head pounded – was it him? In the end, was he the curse on all of them? Oniichan…I need you. As much as he hated the weakness, this reliance on his big brother, Matt would make everything ok again. He would make Mom and Dad stop fighting and he'd protect Patamon. It would all be ok.
