Kiyoshi sticks his tongue out at his big brother! He wasn't poking, he was just...nudging him with a bare foot! He just likes to get attention from Shichiro, that's all. He continues to eat quietly, although of course he's wriggling around in his seat. He's nine! It's very hard to sit still at that age. You don't know! You have no idea what kind of struggles he deals with!
"What's DATS, Shichy?"

"DATS is the organization that Gawain and I are helping to protect people. Remember, like knights? Takahiro's a member too." Mr Inoue leaned forward, his eyes sparkling and food momentarily forgotten. "So you must have one of these digimon partners too. I've only met Gawain, and he's just... fascinating! You know he has little to no knowledge of our world but extensive ideology similar to western chivalry? The parallels are very interesting. What kind of form does your own digimon take? I should find it very interesting to meet him. It. They?"
"Dad, you're gushing. You promise you wouldn't gush." Shichiro, you promised you wouldn't whine.

Takahiro stays beet red, as he remains the focus of conversation. He likes Mr Inoue, though! An intellectual with a sense of curiosity and wonder! "I've theorized, uh, b-based on what I've seen that the generation of, um. The generation of some Digimon is influenced by the human world," he takes a deep breath, "like my own partner, Petermon. H-he's based heavily on J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan," Hup. Harder to talk. So...embarassed...for no reason... "I, um. L-left him at home. I brought my brother's Digimon...c-companion instead. He's...kind of l-like a therapod dinosaur most of the time" Oh, Takahiro. Just...stop.

"Knights?!" Kiyoshi's eyes sparkle like his father's, but his are with admiration as he turns his attention on Takahiro. Okay, so maybe he hadn't quite listened when Shichiro had first explained it. Well...was that his fault, really? Someone had given him ice cream right as it was being explained!
Wait, wait, wait. What was that? He's a knight and he knows Peter Pan?! Peter Pan was Yoshi's favorite story a few years ago! How many times had he made Shichiro read it to him? Hundreds, at least! He blinks a few times. Dinosaur? Whoooooa. Is there no end to how cool Shichy's new pet nerd is? He leans over and whispers to Shichiro, "Well...I guess he's okay. He'd better not steal my hugs though!"

"A dinosaur!" Takahiro certainly had Mr Inoue's attention now. "And you brought it with you. Perhaps you would allow it to come out long enough for us to have a look? I'd just love the chance to examine another digimon up close. Such amazing creatures." He looked up and offered Mrs Inoue an apologetic grin as his wife cleared her throat, a tolerant smile on her lips. She must be used to get husband getting a little ahead of himself... "Er, yes. After dinner, I'm sure."
"Just like knights," Shichiro was saying to Kiyoshi. "Taka and Petermon protect people and they're teaching me how, too. You should see how fast Petermon is." He glanced over at his boyfriend, eyes glittering with mirth and mischief. "He won't steal all of your hugs. I have plenty for you and my boyfriend, Otouto."

"Uh, s-sure, Mister Inoue, sir. We can see if he's, um. If he feels sociable today after dinner, if you like..." Takahiro taps his foot a few times, anxiously, "BlackAgumon can, um. B-be grouchy sometimes, so please don't...mind his attitude,"
He finishes eating his own share of the meal, and sets his eating implements aside, drawing in on himself to look smaller and...avoid predators? No, so that perhaps the conversation will leave him for now. He's so embarrassed! Still, the visit seems to be going well so far (hopefully BlackAgumon doesn't mess that up by causing a scene!), and the Inoue family seem nice! See! Nothing to worry about, Takahiro.
Eheheh.

Wow! A real-live Peter Pan Digimon! Well, Kiyoshi is impressed. He'll have to see if Shichiro can get Takahiro to bring this 'Petermon' over when he next visits. Plus this guy...Takahiro, seemingly a skinny, shy nerd...is apparently like a Knight, and so is Petermon! And they're training his brother? Does that mean Shichiro is his squire? Either way, so cool!
Yoshi narrows his eyes at Shichiro and mutters, "Better not steal all my cuddles," Yeah! Yoshi'll scratch his eyes out or...uh. Something. Well, no, he'll just look sad and guilt people into giving him candy and hugs. Yup.

Shichiro grinned, reaching out to tussle his brother's hair in a way he knew the boy pretended to hate. "There will be plenty, I promise. Besides, you're not selfish, Otouto. I know you can share your big brother." He stood up, collecting his, Takahiro's and Yoshi's empty dishes to bring to the sink. He caught Takahiro's eye, smiling at his blushing boyfriend's discomfort with the attention. Time to give him an out. "Hey Yoshi, why don't you show Taka our DVDs and help him pick one out while I put the dishes away. I'll make popcorn."
"And don't just grab something. Let him look too!" Shichiro insisted sternly, his tone teasing at the excitement on his brother's face. He resumed collecting silverware, thanking their mother and father as he did so. Mrs Inoue smiled knowingly at her husband, pulling him along to another part of the house to give the three boys a chance to socialize. Setting the dishes in the sink, Shichiro busied himself putting in a bag of popcorn and grabbing a couple drinks. It was a few minutes later that he walked into the living room with a bowl of hot popcorn and an armful of drinks, curious to see what he got his boyfriend into. Oh Shichiro, you fool.

Takahiro gently pulls Shichiro down into a seat next to him, and offers a smile. They'd selected a DVD of some kind. A bad horror movie, the kind where you could see the seams of the monster suits. The kind that Kiyoshi loved! Takahiro had clearly bent to peer pressure in this matter.
He goes to lean against Shichiro and watch the movie, but is suddenly blocked! Kiyoshi jumps between them, seemingly quite excited still and...surprisingly, cuddles into both of them! How astounding!
And so the three settle in for a night of movies and junk food.

They made it through the movie and part of a second when Kiyoshi started to snore softly. Shichiro slipped away with the boy in his arms to put him to bed and went back to finish the movie with Takahiro. His boyfriend pointed out the late hour, however, and insisted he should head home- despite protestations. So Shichiro insisted on walking him home, taking his bike to make the return trip quicker. Yes, he knew it was late. Yes, he knew Takahiro would be fine. No, he would not let him go alone.
The last time he did that, he lost someone.
So he walked him home.
