For some reason, this bothered Kitt more than it should and continued to stare off into the water. Finding this obvious explanation about why he was thinking was hard. He wasn't like an open book so no one will be able to find the answer; Eris's mumbling trying to find a response was proof of that. Growing frustrated, Kitt grit his teeth a little. He was not used to questioning flaws about himself, or wondering what others perceived of him. Both were things he wanted to bury quickly as he didn't like to ponder on it anymore... that is until Eris's cheerful comments said otherwise.
The words "kind", "nice". "strong" and "cool" made his eyes blink in surprise. He picked his head up and turn to glance at her as she was talking. He wasn't sure if she was saying that just to make him feel better, or was actually saying it from the bottom of her heart. The little squeeze from her paw told him it was the latter. He listened to her continue, already no longer depressed, but now absorbed into what she was saying."R-Really" he said, slowly speaking up as his eyes were no longer giving a worried vibe, but those doubts quickly returned even though she was telling the truth.
"B-But, even if I act the same as I do with you, how will they perceive that? They may just think of me as a sissy and not as a cool and strong Mon. I mean even if I do screw this up, I wouldn't want to joke about since I'll be too embarrassed." Kitt sounded a mixture of doubt and anger with his voice raised . Even with some of the romantic movies he's seen, it'll end either two ways: finding the person of your dreams, or experiencing the worst day of your life.
He settled down and took a sigh. "Sorry, I didn't mean to raise my voice at you. I'm just...so nervous right now. How come you're not nervous about this?"

Sitting there in the tub the steam rising from the water and little bubbles swirling around them like snow Eris looked at her friend. Really look at him. Taking in his pretty fur and gently worried eyes, his sharp concern and fear of what the future held. A fear that made something tighten in the Gigimon's chest, the urge to ease it away nearly overpowering.
"Really," She answered him beaming up at her friend gently.
"And even if the date goes absolutely horrible and you have no fun at all and it's the worst day of your life I will still think you are cool, and nice, and kind." Eris assured him putting every ounce of her heart and soul into those words.
"A-and if umm...if it really goes bad and you don't even make a friend out of them, which I doubt, then it won't really count as a date. So uh..." She trailed off poking shyly at one of the clouds of bubbles as she glanced up at Kitt through her lashes cheeks darkening with a blush she hoped he couldn't see.
"So if that happens we'll be each others first date ok?" Eris mumbled her the words tumbling out in a rush.

Hearing the reassurance from Eris made his tail raise up, not in a bit suprise way, but in a feeling of content. She was right. Even if the date turned into a disaster and the person would hate them for it, there will always be someone that will still like him for the way he is. Like the bubbles in the tub, the insecurity that he was feeling were swooshed, and in that empty space came a feeling of cautious optimism.
As she continued, but then paused, Kitt titled his head when he saw a bit of blush appearing on her face, despite her trying to hide it as best as possible. What she said made his ear twitch as he didn’t quite picked up what she said since she said it so fast. After a few moments of piecing it together, his face immediately slowly started to turn red from his chin up, his eyes widening at her and his tail bristling in suprise. It was clear to him now that Eris liked him that way. Not knowing how to react to this, he quickly scambled out of the tub, covering his face. He didn’t notice that one of the shampoo bottles that was used for the tub was in his way. In typical Kitt fashion, he clumsily tripped on it while grabbing his towel, the bottle shooting at the close door.

In life one will suffer many wounds both physical and emotional. Some are small, others large. Some heal quickly. Others linger. Nothing however quite stings so badly as watching the person you like run from you. The pain sharp and sudden like a knife in the chest where her heart would be left Eris reeling. Her words dying on her tongue, breath catching in her throat as she wracked her mind for a way to salvage this trainwreck even as tears prickled at the corners of her eyes.
"I uh. I should go. I think I got some shampoo in my eyes." The Gigimon quickly squeaked out as she leaped out of the tub scrambling heedless of where she was going the image of Kitt laying stunned on the floor because of her words and her stupid feelings burned into the backs of her eyelids as she crashed into the door, skittered, and then dashed into the room. Making for the door and out in the hall in a quick scramble.
"Sorry Kitt! I'll check in with you another time! Have a nice da-te." She called out over her shoulder breath hitching on the word date as she slammed the door shut behind her and ran for her own room intending to grab her things and bail as her tears finally overflowed. The Gigimon quietly mentally reprimanding herself for being so so stupid.

Rubbing his head in pain, he let out a quiet oww, slowly picking up his head from the floor. Instead of meeting a worrying Eris who would quickly jump to his side to see if he was ok, he was only met with a Gigimon that was on the verge of crying. Tears started to appear in the corner in her eyes, stunning Kitt. It was only now that he realized that his reaction to her opening up her feelings to him really hurt her
"E-Eris..." he muttered out, reaching his hand to her. Before he could even comfort her and try to explain why he acted the way he did, the Gigimon then scrambled out of the bathtub, saying that some shampoo got into her eyes.
That was a lie.
Seeing her run into the door head-on, causing him to jump in concern, only for her to quickly open the door and scramble out of the hall. Hearing her words as her voice echoed through the hallway, Kitt quietly slumped on the tub, staring at the ceiling in silent for a few minutes before clenching his fist, hitting the side of the bath tub.
"I really messed up this time." Kitt quietly wailed, covering his face with his hands. "Why can't I act normal for once in my life..." He started to sob.
After a half hour of moping, he glance at the yukata on his bed, making him rise up from his slumped position and walked out of the bathroom. It was quiet; something that he was not used to. Looking at the time, he was going to be late for his blind date. Wiping away the tears, he slapped himself across the face, springing himself back to life. With a face of determination, the young Spadamon has decided: he was going to commit to this date -- for Eris's sake. She put all the time to make this beautiful outfit for him. No way he was going to let her hard work go to waste.
After putting it on, taking a minute to look himself in the mirror. Surprisingly enough, the yukata fit him like a glove. The edges with white, frothy waves brought out the color of his fur.
"It's so lovely." he spoke softly. Looking at the clock, he only had an hour to get to Rosewood: the place where he's suppose to meet his blind date. Grabbing his D-Terminal and grooming his mane, he rushed out of his room and headed downstairs, saying goodbye to Myceal who was busy working and rushing out of the door.
Every day, people have plenty of opportunities to get angry, stressed or upset. But Kitt learned this morning that indulging in these negative emotions simply because he was in fear of the unknown was giving it something to power over his happiness. Sometimes It's the little things in life that makes him take the great leap forward.
