Thread: Digimon : Digital Balance {TDM&Periodical}

RE Digimon Digital Balance SweetPeriodical In a weird sort of way, Takeru T.K Takaishi couldn't decide what he wanted to do. More recently, he had gotten into writing, though playing sports was still a huge pat of his life. He had moved from soccer to baseball, and especially living in America now, baseball was pretty prevalent. He had taken a girlfriend, one of his best friends in fact, and he simply adored every minute with her. In a way, he simply just could not keep his hands off of her, and it was something that Matt had talked to him countless times about. As always, he was running late. His schedule was so jam packed now it seemed. Between baseball practice and baseball games, he had studying to do, spending time with Kari, sleeping, eating, everything seemed to always fall on the same days too. The day that Kari's birthday and a big baseball playoff game fell on the same day was something that T.K never thought he would get through in one piece. At the end of that day, he was exhausted, and couldn't get out of bed until well past noon. Nowadays, he kept his digivice with him. It was almost like his good luck charm. He longed to see his friend Patamon once more, but it was a double edged sword. After showering in the locker room and making himself presentable, he got dressed. Wearing jeans, a jersey of his baseball team, the hat for his baseball team, T.K set out. He smelt of cologne and deodorant, but he knew it was something that Kari would like. He was running now, a duffel bag slung over his shoulder. He figured he wouldn't be spending the night at home tonight, but he was a bit unsure of what the night had. He had his brother's concert, and after that, he didn't know what. Pulling his phone out of his pocket, he shot a text to his brother before he made his way up to Kari's place. Standing outside the front door, T.k took a second to catch his breath before reaching up and knocking on the door. He could hear some chattering inside. The chattering started to grow louder, before the door opened. Seeing the face of his girlfriend, a huge smile grew across his face. He had just seen her this morning, but she was as breathtaking as ever. Making his way inside, he dropped the bag before he closed the door behind him. He knew he heard more than one voice inside, but first things first. Grabbing Kari by her waist, he pulled her into him, connecting their lips for a brief moment, closing his eyes before he realized there was someone else in the room. Breaking off the kiss, he looked towards Mei before his mouth turned to a sheepish smile. Slowly and reluctantly, he let go of Kari before he raised his hand in sort of a wave. Hey there! You ready for the show? Nice save stupid. . . ----- Wearing a blazer with a white dress shirt underneath and a pair of slacks, Tai had gotten off of work before he made his way down to his modest car. Hanging from the rear view were the goggles he loved so much as a kid. His old digivice in the glove compartment of the car. He wasn't late, so he could take his time just a bit. He knew what he needed to do, and stupidly, he offered to drive everyone tonight. Letting out a sigh, he made a point to pick up something nice for Sora, before he headed over to Sora's place. The two had been dating for longer than the others. It was honestly a lie if he had said he saw himself with Sora down the road. Still, they were coming on a year or two now. They had gotten to that plateau in their relationship where they didn't need everyone to know that they were dating. Everyone just knew. They didn't have to prove it to anyone. It was more than he could say about his little sister though. If he didn't know better, he would have thought that Kari and T.k were just starting, and they had met at some bar. Of course, he didn know better. Leaving the flowers in the front seat of the car, he drove to the front gate, stopping and allowing for Sora to climb in the front seat. From there, he made his way to Kari's place to pick up everyone else. Leaning in at a stop light for a quick peck, he kept his eyes on the road as he let out a sigh. Matt's concert was something he had almost been dreading from the get go. Sure, Matt was one of his better friends, but at the same time, that didn't mean that the two had to like everything that the other liked. That being said, it just so happened, Tai wasn't particularly fond of Matt's music. Tell me again why we have to go again? Can't we just meet up with him afterward and play some soccer or something? Tai said, grumbling more under his breath, though it was loud enough for Sora to hear. And who exactly is it that we are picking up with my sister? Needless to say, without going into much detail, Sora owed him for driving everyone to the show and even going. Sure, Matt was in a band that was starting to blow up, and they had backstage passes whenever they wanted, but it didn't mean they always had to act on it. The things he did for his friends. After a shorter drive, the car sat outside of Kari's apartment. Honking the horn a couple of times, he looked towards Sora. He didn't have to say anything though, his look said it all. ------- It was the same dream every time. He dreamt of Gabumon, Puppetmon, and the place he had gotten to at his darkest hour. He had no control, he was being played. He had turned his back on his brother, turned his back on his friends, and Gabumon was loyal enough to follow him. It was something that haunted him even to the day. At that point in time, he made a commitment to himself. He never was going to let himself get that way again. His friends and his family meant everything to him now. If T.K was happy, so was he. He would be the best older brother he could be. It was why, when T.K asked for an extra ticket, Matt got him one without a second though. Opening his eyes to the sound of the stage manager knocking on the door, he stood up. The sound checks were done, the stage was set. The opener band was on. There were a few more minutes to go. T.k's text read that he was running a little late. Classic T.k. Making his way outside, he glanced at himself in the mirror. He had grown a little bitter. He had a thing for Sora, once upon a time, but at the same time, he was happy that she was happy with Tai. It was really all he could ask for. He was wearing a suit and a tie, something his band often did. They were a little more edgey than the Beatles, and Matt would be the first to tell you that suits was never his intention. Grabbing a cold water from the refrigerator, he gulped some down as he just tried to kill time before they were on. By the manager's count, they still had fifteen minutes before they needed to go on stage. The show was packed, as usual, and Matt got a rush everytime he stepped onto that stage. Five minutes. The band was getting in position behind the curtain. They always needed to make a good entrance. Matt closed his eyes once more, before opening them and glancing around to his band mates. This was it. Three minutes now. The final song had started, and the crowd was starting to boo the opening act. Two minutes. The booing grew louder, and the other band was starting to fade a little bit. Thirty seconds, they were being introduced by the opening band and cheers started to fill the room. Ten seconds. The sound of the crowd cheering filled the room. Five. It grew louder. 3. Louder. 2. Even Louder still. 1. The curtain dropped and the fireworks that lined the stage were starting to go off. They went right into it, and Matt was starting to break out a sweat already. . Okay, done. Hope it's alright!
