[currently Taichi's up in his tree house again and doodling in the margins of his flowchart in the journal. When he speaks, he still sounds a little sniffly from his headcold but for the most part he's better]

I'm glad it's not raining anymore, it was starting to get really boring just sleeping all day. And Hikari's doing better too which is really good.

But now what? If it were summer vacation at home, I'd probably be at my apartment playing video games and watching TV with my friends, but those don't exist here or something. If we weren't doing that, Mom and Dad would probably take us to go visit my grandma and if we weren't doing that, I'd probably be playing outside. Soccer went over really good here but it's not the same, exactly. Last summer I went to camp...sorta. That didn't last too long before we ended up in the Digital World.

...wonder how they're doing anyway. I miss Agumon...well, all of them, but you know. It's really weird being without him after so long. It's also really weird just trying to be a kid again. Not impossible, just...weird.

So hey, what's everybody's favorite thing to do in the summer? Maybe I can get some new ideas or something.

I don't see why it matters. I don't hate you, can't you just be okay with that?

→action and stuff.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

No not really. I'd rather you not be busy beating yourself up.

→action and stuff.

[toomuchhairgel.livejournal.com]

...I don't see how it's not my fault.

→action and stuff.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Because I'm the one who told you, now cheer up.

→action and stuff.

[toomuchhairgel.livejournal.com]

... [Sighs a little.] What're you doing out here, anyway?

→action and stuff.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

I had to get out of the house for a while.

→action and stuff.

[toomuchhairgel.livejournal.com]

[Nods.] Yeah.

→action and stuff.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

We're cool, right?

→action and stuff.

[toomuchhairgel.livejournal.com]

As long as you can stand me being the way I always am, sure.

→action and stuff.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

I think that's more of a two-way street. I've been told I'm pretty annoying.

→action and stuff.

[toomuchhairgel.livejournal.com]

Hey, I'm the one that ends up a jerk in three years. [Obviously, we're not okay with this.]

→action and stuff.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

[throws a pillow at him] Will you shut up?

→action and stuff.

[toomuchhairgel.livejournal.com]

[Smacked in the face with a pillow, rofl. Frowns and hugs it to his chest.] I'm trying to make light of this.

→action and stuff.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

You're not making light of anything if you believe what you're saying.

→action and stuff.

[toomuchhairgel.livejournal.com]

Well obviously you're okay with it and I'm not getting any better about it, so why the hell does it matter?

→action and stuff.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

I didn't say I was okay with it. I said I was okay with ignoring it for now.

→action and stuff.

[toomuchhairgel.livejournal.com]

Okay, then let's ignore it. [Seriously contemplating getting up and leaving to make the ignoring easier.]

→action and stuff.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

That's not-...Matt.

→action and stuff.

[toomuchhairgel.livejournal.com]

What? I'm hopeless, okay? I suck at talking and I suck at fixing things and I don't know what the hell you want me to say or do but I'm apparently unable to do it.

→action and stuff.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

...I want you to say that you're okay.

→action and stuff.

[toomuchhairgel.livejournal.com]

[Frowns, caught a little off-guard.] Wh-- who said I wasn't...?

→action and stuff.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Your face?

→action and stuff.

[toomuchhairgel.livejournal.com]

[Sort of flusters for a minute, puffing his cheeks up.] Yeah well I'm fine. [Read as; "I screwed up the last time I talked, so I'm not taking any chances in doing it again."]

→action and stuff.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Stop lying to me. I'm your best friend! [read as: I want you to trust me so I can fix this because I DO care]

→action and stuff.

[toomuchhairgel.livejournal.com]

[Winces.] ...It hurts, okay? I'm stupid and I'm weak and I envy my best friend for something nobody can change because I've always thought I had something to do with why my parents split up and all I've ever wanted was to be a good brother because T.K.'s all I have and I hate seeing how much better you are than I am!
