"Why not?" Hikaru asked again. "Honestly, I dunno if I ever want to be tied with someone, but I preferred to give that someone all their freedom they want. I'm a freedom loving Digimon. If I somehow asked if I'm ready to give people some commitment, I'll answer 'probably not'. Therefore, I preferred to tell them immediately that I only like open end relationship, see. Still, it doesn't mean I generally flirt around left and right in hope that they would cuddle me. At times it's just to make them loosen up, you know? Digital World is already bleak as it is without humor. So why don't everyone just smile and forget all the hardship momentarily? Maybe next time they remember, they would have more courage to face it!"
Hikaru looks glad that there's nothing icky about the Impster, and just grinned. "Lessee, if I evolve, what would we do I wonder," he muttered. The grin just get even wider when Colin said about his cat. "My my, well then I hope he don't somehow barf furball. I know a certain Digimon that somehow barf furball... It wasn't fun. What was it called? Trichobezoar?"
"Well, here's the thing, Colin," Yuuki decided that being negative wouldn't bring them anywhere. "It happened to me, it doesn't mean it will happen to you. My other friend just... well... got theirs during normal monster of the week sort of time. They got out unscathed, but well... that way they was clueless of their crest for a long time."
His explanation stopped when he heard more cooing voice from the Dorimon. He checked his Digivice and looked at the evolution line once again... and found out that Hikaru already can evolve. He smirked, but not willing to evolve him just yet.

"Heh heh, I understand that completely" Bellamy said, crossing his legs. "I mean, I got my partner, and I got my brother here. I'm already tied up with two people that I love" he smiled up at them. Luke seemed genuinely touched, while Colin blushed a little. "Any digimon that wants a bit of fun with me, I ain't gonna deny 'em that".
However, there were of course limits. "Of course the Impster ain't dishonorable and won't leave anyone standing. If I say I'll do somethin' nice with you, I'll do it. When of course I have the time" he finished.
Luke meanwhile came to appreciate Hikaru's outlook on life. "Yeah... that's really awesome" he said. "Of course, we need a bit of positive emotions flying around to counteract all the bad ones"
Colin gave a nervous chuckle when Hikaru mentioned furballs. "Heh, well, she normally does it discreetly if she does have furballs" he said, chuckling. He then looked at the very furry Luke and Bellamy. "You two don't have that problem, right?"
"Um, dude, I don't lick my fur with my tongue, that's just gross" Bellamy said. "I use a shower thankyouverymuch"
"Oh, that reminds me..." Colin said, looking at his partners. "When you two do use the shower at my place... you do clean up afterward, right? It's just I don't really want my family getting suspicious over seeing your fur in the showers"
"That... uh... will be something we'll eventually... get under control" Luke said, a little sheepishly. Colin sighed. Well, he hoped they hadn't caused harm yet at his apartment.
Colin was a little reassured when Yuuki said that crests were often obtained and activated under varying circumstances. "Well, that sounds a bit better" he said, glad to have a little weight off his shoulders. He smiled down at the sight of Bellamy petting his new friend. He really liked it that his partners got along so well with others.

"Technically, being partnered Digimons is a weird business when it comes to romance," Hikaru said, also tried to cross his legs... and failed of course. He just managed to sit on his butt so he's technically facing at the sky from that position. "See, it's depending on who your partner will be married. Many out of lot of chance that your partners need to be present around you when you have to date... in other word, it's like dating, but with bodyguards around. We can't be too far from our partners, so technically it's not like Solo Digimon."
He sighed. "You can say that lot of partnered Digimon decided to marry one another when their partners are married because that's much more simple for them. Sometimes lot of partnered Digimon loves their partner too much to need pair... another just do it for fun, like me... and then there are that perhaps too hardwired to their partner so they basically asexual and aromantic. Such types exists. I used to be both asexual and aromantic. I just don't feel any need for hitting around people, I guess... but then one day, when it gets too dire and I'm too stressed to even think straight... I met a cute little Gabumon. He's a nice buddy who tried to cheer me up when something happened, so I really hate to see him sad. Let's say, I flirted with him for the first time and he took it seriously. I really don't know what should I even do, but... we dated. However, we know that we're both partnered Digimon, so we're not getting serious. We just... take comfort in each other's presence. We talked thing that we can't talk to our partners... We're in safe area, so we can wander around without caring about our partners being in tight spot.... Oh well, let's not talk about this any further than that."
...it's seem that he's implying that the Gabumon has passed away.
"Anyway, is there is anything that you wanted to ask more?" Yuuki asked.

Bellamy, Colin and Luke listened to Hikaru's story. He spoke of marriage first. Colin understood that it would be a thing in the digital world - he had seen many humans that were of adult age here so far, and several of them looked like they were bonded with love. It was only logical that their partners would follow suit with that commitment, or otherwise stay out of it.
Then Bellamy saw that Hikaru grew a little emotional as he recounted the thoughts of his friendship with a Gabumon that he had bonded with. The Impmon initially smiled at the thought of Hikaru and the Gabumon bonding as closely as that, but, when Hikaru broke off the ending like that and seeming like he wanted to change the subject, it made him think that something bad had happened. While of course he didn't want to have his new friend hurt with such memories, he couldn't let thoughts like that just pass by.
"Hey, Hikaru..." he said, pretending to be casual. "Yeah, I think it'd be good to change subjects, but..." he held his arms open a little. "Well, just in case you need a cuddle from someone right now, well, I'd be happy to give you one. Of course it's optional!" he finished with a chuckle. But he was willing to comfort his friend if something really horrible had happened to that Gabumon.
But it also ignited other thoughts. Bellamy looked at his brother carefully. While yes, it took a little bit more courting to get Luke interested in such a digimon, his brother was still quite capable of loving someone. And... that's what scared Bellamy. If he made friends with someone and that someone ended up getting killed, he would be distraught for many days, yes, but he felt that he may be able to recover from it.
His brother though, the Elecmon who responded to the Crest of Compassion... if he ended up bonded to someone in his life, and that someone fell in battle... Bellamy didn't know if his brother could even take that sort of blow. But... how could Bellamy protect him from that sort of trauma? He couldn't stop him loving someone, he couldn't go out of his way to protect them from harm when he had his brother and partner to look after first. It was just... a horrible thought.
Colin, meanwhile, looked up at Yuuki. He thought of one last question. "Yeah actually... I was wondering if you knew of any other methods we could spend nights here other than hiring hotel rooms?" he asked. "It's just that living in inns is a bit of a drain on our budget you see, so I was wondering if you had any tips for that?"

Hikaru smiled as Bellamy said that and nodded. "...Though, please help me get back to my normal position. Somehow I can't, help..."
...Of course that would happened, but the Dorimon would definitely fall to the ground if somehow he rolled to the side. His position might not be good for landing afterall. Meanwhile, Yuuki hummed slightly, thinking about how to reply to Colin's question.
"...There are three... three ways I can think of."
He slowly raise each finger as he said his tips. "...First is camping outside. This is unthinkable of by many, but it can't be helped that you need to camp out eventually, so the best thing to do is to get yourself used to it. It honestly also one of my tricks... However, generally it's very well known that there are almost no 100% safe way to sleep in the wild. So here comes the second: Buy a house. However, for newbies, it might be a really herculean feat that need you to save a lot of money. It's really hard, and what's worse, it's stationary, so you need to return to your house without fail and would sometimes still need to sleep somewhere else."
He then raised the last finger, smiling.
"...The last is the foolproof method: Hire a mercenary big enough to be your house. However, mercenaries also need to rest, so make sure that you supply them with everything they need. The plus is they can follow you and serve as your mobile tent! Not only that, they also can support you in battle, so they're VERY useful. However, hiring one with such capability is probably very hard. I can't think many Digimon that can do that."

"Of course, buddy" said Bellamy, lifting up Hikaru into an upright position, then gave him a quick hug. That was what friends were for after all.
Then Yuuki explained the different types of accommodation available in the digital world. Colin was a little uncertain about camping for one.
"Ah don't worry about it, pal, you've got us to look after you out there" Luke said, patting Colin's arm. "Bellamy can light a fire and I can power a light for ya"
"Yeah, and if your electronics need charging, you can just plug it into Luke's butt" said Bellamy. This made the Elecmon look at him with contempt.
"My butt doesn't work that way, Bellamy" he said, then smiled. "Heh, you with your butt fixations I swear..."
The next option of buying their own house wasn't much help either, although it made Colin blink. "Wait, I could buy a house here?" he asked. "Even if I'm only 13?"
"Big deal, I'm barely 3 weeks old, and if I had the dough, I'd go buy a pad for us" said Bellamy. "Age ain't a thing if ya got the brains... and money of course"
And the last option seemed to be to hire a mercenary big enough. Colin had seen Ryouta with this arrangement, and he was quite impressed. It might even be a cheaper option than getting a house itself, but Mercenary rates were a bit out of his range so far.
"Heyy, we could hire a Blimpmon" Luke said, his ears perked up at the idea.
"What's a Blimpmon?" Colin asked.
"A digimon blimp of course" Bellamy said, the Impmon liking the idea of flying around the digital world in a living airship. Colin nodded.
"I see, well, those are good options" Colin said to Yuuki. "Thanks for that".
Colin was unsure of what else to say. Perhaps they should be heading off soon?

The hug felt nice if Hikaru can say. Really nice and warm. He was quite surprised about it, but nevertheless stayed there for quite a moment before jumping back down to his chair.
"Thanks for that, Bellamy!" he thanked him...well,that thank and all the solemn mood just have to be immediately broken when Bellamy commented about Luke's butt. Hikaru laughed out loud while Yuuki just rolled his eyes and wondering where the heck was that sort of solemness gone to. Oh well, nevermind. Looks like the trio finally get what they want. A Blimpmon eh? That's not bad at all. Yuuki preferred more to have other kind of house though. Maybe a house that can be summoned anywhere anytime.
"Well, this is too bad, but we really have to go for now. I'll meet you guys later, OK?" Yuuki said. "Sorry for that. Anyway,here's my D-Terminal address..." he sent his D-Terminal address to Colin's. "Please do tell me if somehow Ryouta or Yuu contacted you, OK?"
Yuuki paid for both him and Colin, whispering 'thanks for making my partner happy again' He stood up from his chair, followed by Hikaru. The Dorimon looks really happy about meeting Bellamy... Now,though, he felt a bit mischievous. Yuuki took out his digivice and activated an evolution. Suddenly the Dorimon that's walking on four feet become Dorumon that walks on two feet. However, it's seem the Dorumon doesn't even notice that his field of vision just raised from when he's a Dorimon. Yuuki snickered and grinned mischievously at Bellamy, then devolved him back to Dorimon. He ran, catching his partner then disappears into the crowd.

It seemed that the conversation came to an end. Colin smiled and nodded when Yuuki said he had to leave. "Okay. Well, it's nice seeing you around, Yuuki, hope we can contact you on the D-Terminal sometime" he said.
"Later guys" Bellamy said. Luke waved as well, giving thanks for Yuuki paying. And Colin beamed when he was thanked for his partners making Hikaru happy.
"Heh, any time, I'll let them know" Colin said back, noting not to tell them while the Dorimon was in earshot.
Or... Dorumon, as he seemed to be. Colin and Luke made noises of surprise when Hikaru revealed he could evolve to rookie. Bellamy just froze, jaw dropped to the ground.
"...Geez, Bellamy, a Flymon might fly into that" Luke joked. Bellamy was fuming. That little tease! Nuzzling his butt and everything! God the cuddles Bellamy wanted to do to that foxy dragon right now... but it was too late.
"God... damn it!" Bellamy spat. "Argh that tease! When we next see him I'll... I'll..."
"Keep it PG-13, bro" said Luke. "And besides, don't you have a date with that Veemon?"
"...Yes!" said Bellamy, immediately remembered. He reached inside his shirt pocket for the details. It seemed the Veemon worked in a clothing store in the mall. Well then. Time to go get him! "To the clothiers!"
"Uh... right now?" Colin asked. Bellamy stormed off. Yes, it seemed, right now. And so the Impmon entered the clothes store and saw the Veemon measuring up a human girl's size, dressed in a tailor's outfit.
"You... date... now!" Bellamy said, pointing at him.
"B-but I'm still working!" Veemon objected. Bellamy simply walked up to him and picked him up like a princess. "Okay... wow. You're impatient" he made a smile.
"I'll show you wow" said Bellamy, carrying him out. Fortunately his Monodramon companion grinned and took over measuring fairly seamlessly. Colin blinked after them as they left the shop, then looked down at Luke.
"Was he like that when he met you?" Colin asked, remembering that Bellamy and Luke were in love before they were reconfigured as brothers.
"Hmm... if I played hard to get" Luke said, slyly. "Well, we'd best follow at a distance"
And so Colin and Luke kept an eye on their partner and brother as he proceeded to have his date after all. It seemed to go well, the Veemon barely able to walk back after the intense cuddles they went through. Heck, he even liked Bellamy after all. And so everyone it seemed had a good day.
