Speed & Lan (DFRP Valentine's Event 2021)

Post by Johan Walker on Feb 14, 2021 19:17:59 GMT
It was that time of the year again... Valentine's Day! The lightning-quick dragon Digimon known as Speed had been looking forward to this day for a while now because most of AEGIS was going to have the day off today in order to spend the day with their significant others. And of course that meant Speed was going to spend the day with his own boyfriend, Lantis the Leomon, who just so happened to be AEGIS's director's partner.
Speed and Lantis have grown very close to one another ever since their first date back at the Spartan Training Grounds. While there were some hiccups that day, Speed was just grateful that he got to hang out with the Leomon, and his crush had blossomed into pure affection for Lantis. He was excited because the two of them made plans to hang out on Valentine's Day at AEGIS HQ, watching movies, eating snacks, cuddling, all that fun stuff. Lantis mentioned something about watching Disney movies as well, which Speed had never seen before, so this would be a unique experience for him.
Once the day started, Speed wasted no time getting ready. Using his amazing super speed powers, he would quickly start putting up all the nice Valentine's decorations he had bought days prior (without Lantis knowing, of course.) Streamers would hang from the top of the windows, a cutesy Valentine's banner plastered on the wall, bunches of heart stickers put up all over the lounge area. Red, pink and white balloons were involved as well, and a plethora of snacks and Valentine's chocolates were spread out across the table, not even including the pizzas Speed had ordered ahead of time that he would pick up later. Even the TV was turned on already, on the Disney+ app as well.
"I hope this will be enough..." Speed said to himself as he took a good look at the lounge room, which looked like a Valentine's Day bomb had just gone off. It's safe to say that these decorations would be much more than enough.

When Lantis had been told that he'd have part of the AEGIS residential quarters to himself and his boyfriend Speed for valentine's day, he made his partner Sophie surprised with just how much he could purr. This was truly a wonderful gift and he appreciated it so much that he swore to not annoy Sophie for the next month... unless an irresistable opportunity arose. Sophie at least was grateful for this.
And so, for that day, Lantis worked his best with Sophie to make a good day's work, leaving no work unresolved. Honestly, if something was overlooked that would cause an emergency that would lead to his and Speed's night together being cancelled, Lantis felt that he could burst through DATS' defence systems and evolve to Mega to resolve it, but hopefully it wouldn't come to that.
Finally, the work of the day was finished, and Sophie grinned as she turned over the charge of the headquarters to him. “Well, you have fun now.” she said, in a rather good mood. She was going to spend time with her own boyfriend, Kenny.
“I think I will, Soph~” Lantis said, winking in response. Then once all was settled on the office floor, the Leomon made his way up to the residential floor. He knew how much Speed liked his muscular chest, so he wore nothing on his torso, just his tan-white fur that covered his whole body. Also, instead of his usual working quality leather pants, he was instead wearing the good leather pants that really showed off the highlights of his lower body, and were comfortable too. He hoped Speed would like seeing him in them.
Lantis blinked as he arrived at the top floor, seeing all the decorations and preparations that Speed had made. At once, he began to purr again. “Oh, Speed, you're certainly looking pretty excited for this~” he said, grinning. The first thing he did was offer him a nice big cuddle, really appreciating all the effort put into what looked like would be a wonderful night for the two of them.
So, it seemed that they would first view a movie together. That suited Lantis, certainly. The idea of snuggling together on the sofa while watching a pleasant film was a very appealing one.

Speed's eyes widened when he heard that familiar voice. He had his back facing towards the door/entryway as Lantis had walked in, but hearing his voice made Speed turn around almost immediately. His smile grew as he laid eyes on his Leomon boyfriend. "Lanty~" Speed cheered as he zoomed right up to the Leomon and gave him a giant hug. "Happy Valentine's Day! You have no idea how long I've been waiting for today to arrive."
Letting go of Lantis, Speed would zoom up to each aspect of the decorations, speeding off to another part of the room after each sentence. "What do you think of the decorations? - Do you like them? - Or are they too much? - I may have gone a bit overboard. - But do you like them anyways?"
Lantis was definitely on board for watching a movie with Speed, but before the two could settle down an important reminder made itself known in the Speedramon's brain. "Oh that's right, the pizzas should be done in five minutes! I ordered three different types, as I didn't really know what you liked, I should've thought this out a bit more, do you wanna wait until I run down and get them before starting the movie?"
It would be very clear to Lantis at this point that Speed was overthinking everything and was, ironically, going way too fast. Did he just have a lot of access power he wanted to burn off? Or was he just a tad bit nervous about today? Whatever it may be, it was Lantis' decision if he wanted to comment on it or not.

Lantis couldn’t help but purr as Speed cuddled him. Yes, this Valentine’s day had been a long time coming, but now it was here, just as wonderful as he’d imagined.
It had taken most of the Leomon’s energy to maintain his professional decorum in the run-up to it, while on duty with AEGIS he had been polite and formal. But now, he could finally be himself in front of Speed with nobody else interfering. Such a feeling of freedom was wonderful.
Yet… as he hugged him, Lantis noted that there seemed to be something of a little bit of tension with Speed. He couldn’t pinpoint it exactly, just, while the Leomon was prepared to be laid back and relaxed tonight, his boyfriend didn’t seem to be doing the same. Of course, he must be nervous. Lantis knew that Speed had thus far lived something of a troubled life, particularly from what he knew about the Village of Beginnings, so of course he’d be nervous about a night like this. So, for the time being, he would resolve to simply do what he could to be relaxed and happy. This was a date after all, not a therapy session.
“I love the decorations, Speed, you’ve done a fantastic job, my darling.” Lantis answered the question gently, looking around at them to appreciate them all the more. “I’ve always thought the atmosphere and setting is so important for events like this, and I’m glad to see that you agree.”
In fact Lantis was quite relieved that Speed had put up the decorations. Just a basic date in the AEGIS residential floor probably wouldn’t have felt right, given that it was his regular working environment for the most part. Seeing it decorated like this made it feel like he was given permission to enjoy it here for a night.
Speed then mentioned the pizzas. Lantis continued to smile gently. “But of course, we must have the pizzas ready before we start the movie. As for what I’d like, well, I hope you ordered something with plenty of meat on it.” Thinking that he should show some more affection to help Speed relax some more, he patted his shoulder in a loving manner. “You’re so nice to have thought of all this though, I don’t think I’ve ever had such a pleasant surprise in my life.” A night alone with his boyfriend, pizza, watching a movie, so far it was very nice.
For the moment, Lantis would sit down on the sofa in front of the TV in the AEGIS residential common room, and patiently wait for the pizzas to arrive.

It made Speed extremely happy to hear Lantis purr like that during the hug. It gave him the impression that he was at least doing something right, that Lantis himself was happy to be around Speed. Of course despite that, the Speedramon was still incredibly nervous about how well this night would go, and doing something wrong that Lantis wouldn't be happy with.
After the hug was finished, Lantis observed the decorations a bit more and told Speed that he had done a fantastic job with them, calling him his "darling" in the process. Thankfully Speed's mask hid the intense blush that the drake had gained in that moment. Lantis said the atmosphere and setting was important, and was glad that he agreed. "Of course I did! The lounge area is so plain most of the time, if we were gonna spend the date here then I thought it would be better to liven the place up! I'm... glad you like what I was going for. I didn't ask Sophie to do this though, but I have a feeling she won't be too upset, right?"
Speed's nervousness was mostly washed out by this point, as Lantis made it clear that he would enjoy this night with Speed no matter what. Giving Lantis a good time was Speed's main concern, so now that there was no need to worry about that he could just be his usual laid-back self again. The Leomon agreed that they needed to wait for their pizzas before they start their movie, asking if Speed ordered something with lots of meat on it. "I ordered three pizzas; one with no toppings, one with all the toppings, and one that I think was called the 'Giga-Meat.' All three with extra cheese, of course. Getting hungry just thinking about it."
Suddenly Speed felt Lantis' hand on his shoulder, expressing how this was the most pleasant surprise he ever had in his life. The drake mon's eyes were practically sparkling by this point, just that amount of praise was enough to light Speed's face up dramatically. "Thank you so much, Lanty. It means a lot to me..."
While they waited for the pizzas to be done, Speed would join Lantis on the couch, snuggling up beside him. From there, Speed's eyes would glance at the Leomon's abdomen, prompting him to at least say something about it. "I'm jealous of ya, Lanty. I probably work out as much as you do and while you got abs, I still feel like I gotta resort to black marker for abs of my own."

Lantis chuckled at the thought of what Sophie would make of this. “Actually, despite her appearing cranky about all things bright and wonderful most of the time, she can be a very passionate young woman too, and I think deep down she’d like this setup too.” the Leomon replied to Speed. “It’s only when we act excessively horny that she gets all annoyed and stuff. So, keeping it at an acceptable level seems to be the right way to go about things.”
Speed then said that he ordered three pizzas, and at least two of them sounded good to Lantis, with the third sounding like it could be good with some additions that they had in their own kitchen in the AEGIS residential floor. “Well then, you planned well, my love.” Lantis said in response. He grinned at Speed’s reaction.
They then waited on the sofa. Lantis continued to purr as Speed seemed to be transfixed with his abs. Speed then remarked how he was jealous and wanted to gain a rack like that of his own. Lantis chuckled, but took care to not be dismissive of his boyfriend’s feelings.
“Well, Speed, one of the things I love about you is your abdomen and how smooth and warm it is, so I don’t mind at all if it doesn’t match mine.” the Leomon stated. In fact he decided to snuggle up close to him until the pizzas arrived. “My lovely drake, you’re so cute~”
Lantis wouldn’t do things from here until the pizzas arrived, knowing it would be a distinct interruption if he were to initiate activities, so he’d be patient for now.

"Sophie? Passionate?" Speed asked, not of mocking but more in a tone of surprise. "That's never the tone I got from her, honestly. I don't dislike her or anything, but she kinda scares me as the director of AEGIS, you know? It's nice to know that she has that side of her though. Makes me feel less like I'm walkin' on egg shells around her." Speed blushed after Lantis said that the drake planned well for today. "Heheh... well, I try..."
As the two of them were sitting on the sofa, Lantis told Speed that his abdomen was one of the things he loved about the Flamedramon variant, how smooth and warm it was, and said he didn't mind that it didn't match his own. "You really think that? I... really appreciate the compliment. And if you want you're always welcome to rest on it~"
That was when Lantis decided to snuggle up against Speed, with nothing else to do until the pizzas were ready. Speed was slightly surprised by the suddenness of it, and he blushed again when Lantis called him cute. Didn't take long before Speed decided to go with it, snuggling closer to the Leomon himself. "Psych and I made the right choice to join AEGIS..." Speed mumbled, his eyes closing for a second.
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP! BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP!
A quiet but noticeable alarm was then heard from the coffee table, specifically a tiny timer that Speed had set up after ordering the pizzas. That meant it was time for Speed to go and pick them up. "Aah, sorry Lanty, but I gotta get up now. I'll be right back." After managing to get up from the couch, Speed would then zoom right out into the city. About two or three minutes later Speed zoomed right back, this time carrying three large sized pizza boxes and setting them down on the coffee table. "Our feast has arrived," Speed declared, opening up each individual box. Soon the smell of pizza would be present throughout most of the room. Sitting back down on the sofa Speed asked, "So what movie should we watch?"

Lantis rubbed his chin as he heard what Speed had to say about Sophie. That was honestly a concern he had about her. While yes, Lantis admired his partner for rising toward whatever challenge opposed her, he still remained a little unsettled about the opinions of those whom she was meant to be leading. He would be sure to raise this issue with her in future. It wouldn’t do if AEGIS was held together through flex tape and fear. She needed to get to know her comrades better.
“I appreciate you saying that, Speed, thank you.” Lantis said gently to his boyfriend. “I think AEGIS might be able to work a bit better in the days to come with that in mind. Oh, don’t worry, I won’t tell Sophie you said that, just, you’ve said something I’ve heard from others in the group, and I think Sophie needs to keep that in mind going forward.”
Lantis then purred and snuggled up with Speed until the food arrived. The Leomon chuckled and nodded to give leave for Speed to get their food. True to his name, Speed quickly returned with fresh pizzas, the scent quickly tantalizing Lantis’s senses, but then he realized something was missing. “Didn’t you order drinks too?” he asked, hoping nothing was missing here.
As for what he wanted to watch here, Lantis pondered hard. Still, as far from the box as he wanted to venture, he couldn’t think far from a film the humans had made about lions – human world beasts that mostly resembled Leomons like him. Once everything was sorted out, Lantis named his choice.
“How about we watch The Lion King first?” he suggested. “Just… I know the human world has made a lot of animated films about animals, and a lot of those animals resemble us beast digimon, so, I’m really curious about that one. So, shall we watch that first?” he asked, eagerly.

"Honestly? If Sophie did kinda drop the tough gal stuff when we were off duty I'd totally be more open with getting to know her," Speed responded. "I think she's doing great stuff, hell she was okay with Psych and I joining AEGIS even though we didn't have a human partner. Surely she's not bad at all if she let us in, right?"
Speed felt really disappointed when he knew that he had to get up from his snuggling to actually go and get the food. At least the thought of eating delicious, cheesy pizza aided his motivation to actually do so. Once he brought the food back, Lantis brought up a good point: didn't Speed order any drinks, too? "Ah crap, I did!" The Speedramon zoomed off again, quickly coming back with a grand total of four 1.5 liter bottles of soda, two Coca-Colas and two Zero Sugar Coca-Cola's. "Thanks for remindin' me, I almost forgot the most important thing!"
Now for the actual movie... Lantis suggested they watch something called the Lion King first. Speed sat down and was browsing through what the streaming service had to offer, but another movie had caught his eye instead... "Hey, how about this movie instead, Zootopia? It's like human world animals but in a big city kinda like Terminus. Should we watch that one first?"
Once a movie had been agreed upon, Speed would press play and grab a bottle of regular Coca-Cola as he snuggled up next to his boyfriend on the couch once more, a big smile plastered on his face. "I can hear it when you purr, you know," Speed said, teasing Lantis a bit. "It's kinda cute. Does Sophie know you can purr~?"

Lantis gave a little smile as Speed told his true feelings about Sophie and her leadership.
“My honest opinion? She overthinks things.” the Leomon replied. “I think her brother Colin has a bit of a better grasp on things, he takes things as they come, but Sophie…” he hesitated before continuing, then shook his head. “That’s a conversation for another day, I feel. I don’t want to possibly spoil our date by talking about things like that. So let’s keep things about us, eh, cutie~?” he grinned at his adorable drake boyfriend.
Then Lantis awaited the food, which Speed retrieved in his usual impressive time. Since Lantis was ambivalent about what movie to watch, he had heard of Zootopia and thought it would be something good to watch together.
“Okay then, Zootopia it is~” he said, assuming a comfortable position on the sofa, accepting a most comfortable position of snuggling with Speed, taking a slice of pizza to eat as the film began. “Damn these humans are good… animating all of this, I just can’t comprehend how they do it…” he remarked on the animation.
At once, Lantis felt engrossed with the movie. Seeing what Judy Hopps was going through, she just wanted to do the right thing and keep order in her city, but was held back because of her status as a rabbit in a world of predators. Lantis had felt like that once, when he was in the Terminus City Guard. Before he had met Sophie, he had been stuck in his rookie Spadamon form, so had always been relegated to the lesser jobs.
“Good choice of movie, babe.” Lantis said halfway through, once he had enough of his fill of pizza and soda, just glad to be witness to this story and feel the warmth of his wonderful boyfriend by his side, as he put an arm around him to cuddle for a little further.
He purred, and Speed let him know he purred. Lantis chuckled and nodded. “Yes, she knows.” he admitted. “Sophie’s not entirely cold, she knows my signals. If I sit down next to her, she pets me behind my ears, and I purr then too. It makes her smile. That’s how I know that we’re truly meant to be as partners of human and digimon.”

"Heheh, oh stop, you," Speed told Lantis with a light blush on his face when he was called a "cutie." He never had someone that he felt the way he did with Lantis before, so this was all still sort of new to him. Oh well; he'll learn eventually, he always does after all! After Speed got the food and drinks in record time, he sat down on the couch next to Lantis to watch the movie, resting his head on the Leomon's arm. For every slice of pizza Lantis had, Speed had thrice that.
I'm pretty sure I told him about my fast metabolism; if I didn't it would be pretty awkward to explain why I'm eating so much.
It took a slight bit longer for Speed to become truly interested in the movie, mostly because he doesn't usually watch them. But once he did, he was as engrossed in it as Lantis was. "Yeah, this movie is definitely pretty. Maybe they secretly have a Digimon doing all the hard work over there?" he suggested. The character Speed gravitated more towards was actually the sly fox Nick Wilde. Nick was always seen negatively because he was a fox, just like Speed and Psych were because their abilities were nothing like other Digimon of their species. If Speed didn't have Psych with him, he probably would've become a scam artist just like Nick became...
"Do you think those two are gonna kiss by the end?" Speed jokingly asked Lantis with a slight chuckle.
In response to the purring, Lantis made one fatal mistake... he let Speed know where he liked to be pet the most. The drake looked at Lantis with a devilish grin. "You shouldn't have said that to someone like meeee~" Speed jested before he reached up and started petting Lantis behind his ears, a big ol' grin on his face as he did so.

Lantis was too engrossed with the movie and his own pizza to notice just how fast Speed ate. So much so that when he reached out for his sixth slice, they had all run out. Not that he minded, five slices were enough for him to be satisfied. Sure, he normally ate a whole pizza to be full, but there were other things he wanted to spend his energy on tonight.
Speed asked if Lantis thought that the protagonists would kiss by the end. “Heh, probably. Their muzzles might make it tricky though.” he observed. “I know in most human movies the leading couple often kiss, but Nick’s muzzle seems a bit too pointed to make something like that comfortable. I do hope they cuddle at least though.”
After Lantis revealed that Sophie could make him purr, Speed tested it out by petting him in the places he mentioned. And of course, Lantis did purr, making comfortable feline gestures to indicate he liked it.
“Careful~” Lantis said through his purring. “If you keep that up, I’m gonna have to snuggle you~”
As they continued to watch the film, Lantis found himself grow quite angry at the revelation of Bellwether’s conspiracy. Somehow that felt deeply wrong to him and he rumbled as the evil sheep attempted her grand plan, and felt very satisfied to see it all fail. Honestly, it made him all the more aware of the potential conflict between humans and digimon, and seeing this film, it made him aware of one possible flashpoint. A human or digimon aiming to bring out the worst in the other to bring forth the outrage and warfare. Ooh, he was so glad to see her thwarted.
“Ahh, such a good film~” Lantis said as it ended. “You know what? I think I’d like to snuggle you anyway~” and if Speed consented, would draw in the drake for a happy cuddle.

Speed himself was surprised by just how much he ate when he tried reaching for yet another slice, yet there was none left. He had noticed that Lantis had only taken maybe four or five slices in total, out of four whole pizzas. The drake blushed a bit upon this realization... hopefully Lantis wouldn't mind, or even notice for that matter.
Aha, Speed's experiment worked! He pet Lantis behind his ears and sure enough the big Leomon started purring in response, and making feline-like gestures to indicate that he liked it. Lantis did tease that he would have to snuggle Speed if he kept this up, however. "Oh no, whatever shall I do~" Speed teased back as he laid his head down on Lantis's abdomen. For a muscly Digimon, he was very soft to lay on."Heheheh... I can hear your stomach gurgling, Lanty. I hope you got enough pizza since I kinda... ate most of it."
Then the movie got to the part where it was revealed that Miss Bellweather was the one behind the whole conspiracy. Speed was legitimately surprised, how could someone as sweet and gentle as Bellweather turn out to be this evil?! She wanted to actively make all the prey of Zootopia fight against the predators... that alone made Speed angry, and just as glad as Lantis to see her plan fail. "I can't see why someone would want to do something like that... and she was Judy's friend, too. I feel like I'd give up on everything if one of my friends betrayed me like that."
At least Lantis enjoyed the movie, and Speed enjoyed it as well. He just loved spending time with his boyfriend in general, so much so that he almost didn't want it to end. Of course it had to end at some point, but who said it had to end right at this second? Lantis said he wanted to snuggle Speed anyways. "I think I'd like that too," Speed said with a smile. He laid back down on the couch and rested his head against Lantis's chest. "You're really comfortable, you know~"

Lantis chuckled as Speed rested on his chest, putting an arm around him. “It’s fine, really, when I saw how fast they were going I picked out the biggest slices, so I’ve pretty much had my fill.” the Leomon reassured him.
As the film came to an end, Speed made some remarks about how it went. Lantis was a little distracted by the dancing tigers at the end, but drew his attention back to Speed. It was a serious matter, so Lantis replied with a solemn tone. “Working in Terminus City Security, unfortunately I’ve had a few in my team turn to the bad side.” he said. “There’s always the allure of money for doing so, and for a lot of digimon in the city, it’s too much for them. I was pretty much stuck as a Spadamon and couldn’t really do anything about dirty cops like that, because I never got the opportunity like Judy, but, I like her. She was smart enough to come out on top and thwart that horrible… sheep? Is that what they’re called in the human world?”
Lantis chuckled as Speed snuggled up with him again. He particularly enjoyed stroking his white belly, it felt softer and warmer than the rest of his hide. He was content to do this for a little while longer, until he felt the need to ask. “So, anything else you feel like doing?” he asked. “Chat for a bit? Snuggle up? Chat while snuggling?”
Lantis knew that Speed didn’t really like talking about his background, but Lantis was happy to talk about his own experience if Speed wanted to hear. If not, he was happy to just do what came naturally when left alone with another digimon that he was coming to love quite fondly.
The Leomon was glad to be left alone for a night with Speed. There were many more things he wanted to talk about, and he would reveal as much as the drake wanted to hear about his life before and after he met Sophie and joined AEGIS. He liked the feeling of Speed resting on his thick light tan fur. He raised the remote and just let something random play on the TV, the volume way down to provide a little bit of background noise so the room didn't feel too eerie. And he would continue to pet Speed lovingly.

Speed chuckled. "Alrighty then, I thought your tummy was saying otherwise so I just wanted to make sure. To be honest, I could go for a few more slices myself. Gotta love how every part of me is fast, huh? Good thing you never judge how much I eat."
When the movie ended, Lantis explained how when he was a security guard a few of his teammates turned to the dark side as well. The allure of money was just too much, it seemed. "Ugh, who gives a crap about money other than it's needed to live for some dumb reason," Speed groaned. "Those teammates of yours are the reason I haven't really... trusted anyone besides my brother, for a long time. I was too afraid of being hurt again. I had Psych, and he was all I needed in the world. I didn't even fully trust Johan or Dokamon, or anyone at AEGIS when we joined. At least..." Speed leaned up performed something big: he kissed Lantis on the lips. "At least until I met you, Lanty."
The two would then snuggle up again, with Speed resting on the Lantis's stomach while the Leomon rubbed Speed's own belly. It felt nice, partly because it was Lantis who was doing it. He asked what Speed wanted to do now. "Let's just stay like this for now... I'd love to hear more about your past, Lanty. You already know much about mine, but all I know about you is that you used to be a Terminus security guard."
Whether or not Lantis chose to tell him was besides the point. All in all... today was probably the best Valentine's day ever.
