A small black blur bag grasped within her teeth being half dragged beneath her dart down the hallway. All, but skidding to a stop in front of a now familiar wooden door. Leaping forward she scratched at it rapping at it excitedly with her feet like a drummer would tap out a beat in an attempt to rouse it's occupant from their sleep their early in the morning.
"Kit-mph!" Eris whined out her words muffled until she spat the handle of her bag out letting it drop to the floor. "Kitt wake up! Today's the day Kitt! Kiiiiiiittt!" She called out rattling the door lightly on it's hinges with her excessive rapping.
"Come on! We got to get read! We need to look good for our blind dates!" She called out practically dancing with excitement. Though deep within the deepest depths on her heart the tiny Gigimon hoped...longed even...that maybe the date Kitt would be going to meet would be her. Unlikely, but that didn't stop the Gigimon from picturing the Spadamon's surprised and maybe even pleased face when he showed up at the spot she'd planned to take her date and found her there.

Morning broke, cold and bright, the orange rays of morning bleeding into the windows.
On the bed, Kitt stirred in his sleep. He was tucked under the covers, snoring softly with his arms wrapped around his cloak like it was a pillow. He had been asleep for about eight hours - about the same length of sleep that anyone should get.
The sound of something being dragged across the floor slowly awoke the Spadamon, his eyes slowly blinking from out of his dream to in reality. He didn't remember what his dream was about, whatever it was it's probably something he'll forget later today. He started to hear a different sound, this time it was scratching at the door.
Going on dead ears on whoever it was outside, he got up from his bed, letting out a loud yawn and getting on all fours to stretch before heading for the door. Turing the knob, he was greeted by Eris who seemed super happy for some reason.
"Hey there," he whispered, giving a sleepy smile to her, "What's going on Eris?"

"Kitt! Kitt! Kitt!" Eris exclaimed bowling her friend over as she moved to tackle him to the floor in her excitement perching herself on his fluffy chest as she beamed down at him. Only to grow quiet as she leaned really really close and whispered "Today's the day!" In a far too loud and absolutely terrible stage whisper, any attempt at stealth ruined by her own excitement.
"Come on! Come on! Come on!" She chirped practically dancing on his stomach as she fidgeted only leaping off of him to grab him by the tail with her mouth giving it an affectionate nibble before she started trying to tug him back inside the room.
Only to remember her bag, release him, and then trot back out to grab it. Bringing it inside as she hopped up onto his bed dumping it on the covers as she danced back and forth. "We need baths! And to get our outfits ready! And to pick out flowers! Today's the day Kitt! How are you still so asleep?" She teased bouncing lightly on the mattress.

If Kitt wasn't wide awake, he was now since Eris tackled him to the floor, letting out a quick yelp in the process. He gave a puzzled expression to the Gigimon as to what got her all excited this early in the morning. For a moment she stopped bouncing and started to lean closer to him. He tired to back up from where he was laying, but since she was on top of his chest, there was no where to go. It made blush in response.
That blush quickly became replaced with a wince as Eris shouted at his face, making him wince in response. "Wait what day are you- OW!" He couldn't finish as she leaped from off him to bit him on the tail, tugging him back into the room.
As she set a bag down on his bead, the Gigimon pranced about how they needed to do this and that made Kitt narrow his eyes in response. What kind of day is this that requires all this? Sure a bath, but why all this other stuff? When she asked why is he so tired, he only give a dead-panned reaction before pointing at the clock.
"It's only eight o'clock, Eris." he responded.

"But it's Valentines day~" Eris explained dragging the word out to emphasize it's importance as it was clear Kitt wasn't quite making the connection to just how important today was going to be. That or he'd forgotten about project: DATE entirely. After all signing up to just go have fun with someone and possibly get a fabulous prize for it in the effort to spread happiness and romance had been more then enough of a bribe to get Eris involved and thus drag Kitt along with her.
"We have dates this afternoon! And it's already eight!" She exclaimed with a low whine remembering her Uncles lectures on being prepared and Vivian's own talks about proper presentation and how important it was to put ones best foot forward and all the things one needed to do to get ready. The thought of how much ground they needed to cover nearly sending the tiny Gigimon into a tactical tizzy as she assessed where they needed to start.
"Do you even have an outfit picked out yet?" Eris questioned with a tilt of her head.

"Yeaaaaah, and?" Kitt said, raising his eyebrow at her. He didn't know why Eris was making such a big deal out of this. From what he knew, Valentines Day was something made by humans in which today is recognized as a significant cultural, religious, and commercial celerbration of romance and romantic love. Since when did something invented by humans was celebrated by Digimon? All that lovie-dubby stuff to him was not his forte, as he felt it was something girls get excited about and not guys. But nevertheless, his little friend stressed on how their dates were in the afternoon.
"No?" he answered when she questioned on if he had an outfit to wear, "The only thing I have to wear is my cloak, you know this."

"It's important. Sides getting out a little would be good for us both." Eris cajoled though admittedly the thought of spending the day without her partner left her with a pang of pain. Kitt had quickly wormed his way into her life and it was rare that the two didn't spend at least part of the day together in one way or another as friends and partners were want to do. However, it hadn't been long before her Uncle had pulled her aside cautioning Eris that Kitt would likely never grow out of his shell if he always had her to hide behind.
Which seemed counter-intuitive to Eris. She was his partner, his leader, it was her job to protect him, but had to find the fine line between protecting her friend and not coddling him. "No Mon is an island Eris," Logane had explained in that soft low paternal rumble of his as he'd shooed her along making it clear that the two friends couldn't live out their lives in their own little personal bubble.
"Well we need to fix that. There are lots of stores around, but luckily for you I thought ahead!" Eris chirped nosing open her bag to very carefully pull out a rich blue yukata the edges of which were hemmed with white frothy waves stitched with pale snowy thread the same shade as Kitt's fur.
"But first!" She exclaimed laying the yukata out carefully on the bed as before hopping down and trotting over to her friend. "Baths!"

Kitt let out a sigh in response, cupping his hand on his face, smushing his cheeks in a pouty manner. He wanted to make it clear to Eris that he didn't want to go on this date thing. He didn't have any "dating qualities" that would fit the dating norm. Nothing would change if he didn't went out; it would be like a normal day if nobody pointed out that it's Valentine's Day. Come to think of it, when did he put himself up on a blind date? He never did, cause he wouldn't be complaining if he did do it. Eris maybe? Definitely Eris
"What's this?" Kitt asked, staring at the bag that was next to her. He quirked an eyebrow as she pulled out a garment that looked like a fancy bath robe. Before he could pick it up to examine it closer, Eris chirped that they need to take a bath before they start the day, much to Kitt's dismay.
"But I took a bath yesterday though." he replied gruffly. "You know I only need a bath every once in a while, not everyday right?" He got back into the habit of self-grooming himself, though he only did it when nobody was around as he didn't want to publicly show off his cat mannerisms.

"That's your yukata! I made it for you." Eris explained as she tried not to laugh at how cute Kitt's pouting face was. The way he puffed up his cheeks his head held high in the air though was just so adorable and left the Gigimon screwing up her own face in her attempt not to laugh.
"I know, but you want to smell nice don't you? Sides just think of this as just making up for all the baths you skipped!" The little Digimon chirped grabbing him gently by the tail as she tugged him towards the bathroom. Releasing him once they were inside a she strained over the edge of the tub to bat at the knobs till the water turned on and was adjusted to the temperature she wanted.
"Sides I raided Vivian's bath cabinet for all the nice bath stuff!" Eris whispered conspiratorially even as she trotted back to her bag to pull out a small bag from within. Only to drop it on the bathroom mat nudging it open with her nose as various shampoos and oils and nice smelling soaps and things rolled out as the Gigimon loomed over her pile of ill gotten goods proudly.

Kitt moaned in response as their was no way of getting out of taking a bath this time. It's not that he didn't like baths, but taking a bath kind of makes his fur a bit itchy after drying off. In his dismay, Eris nibbled him by his tail and guiding him towards the bathroom. What she says goes, and there was no point in auguring back.
Sitting on the toilet, he wanted to curl up into a ball; a spiky, furry ball as the Gigimon struggled a bit to get to the nob. He was about to get it for her until she got it by herself. He though for sure that she would have slipped into the tub. Her stubby limbs were not cut out for gripping things, but yet she managed to pull it off.
Kit raised an eyebrow as Eris went back to grab her bag and dumped all of the bathroom stuff on the bathroom matt. A smirk started to get drawn on his face looking at Eris. "Ahh I see you took a page from my book and claimed it as your own." he said. He didn't think that Eris of all people would steal. He's been doing it for as he can remembered, but that was besides the point. In her case it wasn't stealing, it was "borrowing."

"Well..." Eris trailed off glancing down at her tiny hoard, "Vivian did tell me I should take better care of myself and people like Mons who smell nice." She mumble sniffing over the various bottles of bath oils her snuffling at one or two before she found one she liked before picking it up in her teeth and bracing her little paws on the toilet spat it out in Kitt's lap.
"Now help me pour it in Mister 'I have thumbs." She teased with a smile. The oil smelling of sandalwood and flowers. A scent that would be equally good on either of them without smelling too girly or masculine. Once Kitt would help her pour it into the tub the water would lightly foam forming bubbles in the little eddies as Eris carefully scooped up a bar of soap between her paws and set it on the edge of the tub. Repeating the motion with some of the shampoos and things her little eyes narrowed in concentration as she worked. Once done she stepped back eyeing the now steaming bath with satisfaction before circling around Kitt and nudging him towards it by headbutting him lightly against the backs of his legs.
"Come on this'll be fun!" She chirped with a smile.

Kitt rolled his eyes, the smirk still on his face, and grabbed one of the bottles and started to pour it in the water. The scent from the bottle smelled really nice. If anything, it would at least make the bath a little nicer; he'll come out looking and smelling fresh. While in thought, he couldn't help but let out a small chuckle at Eris's previous response; about taking care of herself and other Mon. No matter how she put it - one way or the other - some of his traits were rubbing off on her. Once the bubbles reached the peak of their formation, he begrudgingly responded to her headbutt and got up from sitting on the toilet.
"I mean, fun for you." he replied, stepping into the tub. "I don't know about me. I don't know anything with dates and how they work, or how to act for that matter." Taking the shampoo-filled water, he started to pour it around his shoulders first, spreading it to his arms, and then pouring it onto his head. He make a soft mrrp; the warm water being relaxing, before covering his mouth again, realizing that he'd let out another embarrassing cat noise again.
Kitt rose his hands defensively. "You-you didn't hear that!" He took some of the bubbles, putting it on his face to try and hide his disconcert. "I still think this dating thing is a bad idea for me."

"Yes I did. You went merp and it sounded nice and you sounded happy." Eris chirped with a smile as she scrambled up onto the edge of the tub before hopping in with a little splash. Leaving her to paddle enthusiastically through the bubble with a large grin on her face. Not quite understanding why Kitt was always upset when he made cat noises. Wasn't he a feline digimon after all?
"Vivian says dates are just doing activities with strangers to get to know them. So not really any different then hanging out with your friends only you get to decide if you want it to be romantic or not." The little Gigimon quoted her older cousin.
"So just act like with them how you act with me maybe? And be polite." Eris offed reaching out a little paw to pat his arm reassuringly. "I'm pretty sure you'll do great Kitt. Now turn around so I can help you get the shampoo through your mane." She ordered playfully waving her little limbs with enthusiasm.

Kitt softly rolled his eyes in response, brushing the soap bubbles out of his face. But he didn’t remained pouty for too long as Eris’s smile made him forget why he was a little adamant in the first place. He poked her forehead, letting out a smile. The Gigimon then explained to him that dates were just people getting to know each other like going out, doing activities, or just hanging out. Even though she said it was optional to make it romantic, Kitt shook his head in disagreement.
“Na, there’s no way a date can end without no kissing.” he said, turning around so she can get his mane. “I mean with all the romantic smut I’ve seen in movies, it always ends with the girl inviting the guy over to make out.”
He took what she said with a grain of salt, unsure if wether or not if he still wanted to go. But he was in the tub anyway, so he’s definitely going at this point.
“I mean...how do you know that”? he asked, taking her paw from behind. “I don’t see any...things about me that makes me likable or cool.” He starred off into the water, imagining the worse possible outcome this blind date might do to him.

Eris made a small 'bleh' noise at the idea of kissing this strange unknown person that was meant to be her date. Holding hand maybe, but kissing was out of the question. Kissing was for specially people whom you loved and knew well and the idea of giving something up as special as her first kiss to a stranger she didn't even know didn't sit well with Eris.
"If they try to kiss me and I don't want to be kissed I'll punch them." Eris muttered combing through Kitt's mane with her little stubby limbs as she worked the shampoo deeper into his hair. Only pausing as he reached over his shoulder to grip her paw in his concern wrought in every inch of the little Spadamon's shoulders.
"Kitt..." Eris murmured softly unsure what to say to ease his fears. "I think...I think...well..." She trailed off glad his back was to her so he couldn't see the blush that stained her cheeks.
"I think you're kind and nice. I think you're really strong and cool too and well...if your date can't appreciate you for you then they don't deserve you anyway." She informed him giving his hand a little squeeze before she went back to work.
"Sides if your date goes bad we can just come back home and talk about all the random funny things that went wrong over popcorn and chocolate." Eris joked hoping to ease her friends fears.
