I Forgot About This Month [Leo]
|
Post by Ayaka and Coolmon on Dec 1, 2019 3:16:03 GMT
This time of year proved to be a really, really festive month for Snowflake Village, from what the human could observe. There were decorations being put up, and digimon running all throughout the village seeming happy to get into the holiday spirit. It was actually pretty easy to forget altogether that this was the holidays as they went in the Digital World.
It was a rather heartwarming sight from the bench that Ayaka Maeda had opted to sit at while waiting for the singular person she'd actually invite out to a cottage in a snowy village (said cottage being right behind that bench and along a cobblestone path, with lit lights and everything) that she managed to rent for the night under dubious circumstances regarding work. No, really, that was a story and a half. A tray of hot cocoa sat next to her, but it'd assumedly not remain that hot for long in this cold.
So.
Where was Leo in all of this?

Time sure flies in the digital world, so much so that you can forget what time of the year you currently are, doesn't help that being unable to leave means stay on a place that for you might been hours but for the other person were just minutes, keeping contact is a little hard sometimes in these conditions.
Thankfully things have been calmer lately and the German girl had time to think and evaluate certain things on her life and chill a little bit on the "Jump right in the head of trouble" attitude she has (not by much but baby steps). so it was nice to hear about her friend Aya inviting her to spend some time at a cottage she got for a few nights, a girl night with a good friend on this time of the year? How could she say no?
She walked through Snowflake village, the place was full of life and seeing all the digimon running and playing around put a smile on the girl, she's use to snowy places now that she stays at Ys most of the time but that's a weather she can't deny loves, there is something of the snowy days that just makes her happy.
It didn't took too long for Eleonora to find Aya sitting on a bench, the blonde walk towards greeting her friend with a big smile, it's been a while and she was happy they finally see each other again
"Been a while, how's the knight in shining armor doing?" Said with a smile and a wink

Time very much did fly here, thanks to dilation. Truth be told, Aya had been within the Digital World for so long that things began to blur a little when it came to time...But, that didn't necessarily matter to Aya at the moment. She was waiting here for a reason, was she not?
And soon enough, that reason came by with a smile on her face. Aya thought it was rare to see Leo smiling before she had done anything, but it wasn't something she was about to pass up. The girl wasn't wearing any armor, instead opting for some more casual clothing in the form of a sweater, some mitts, some jeans, and a pair of glasses that might be familiar to the German. "I've been good, actually! Have some time off from work and...one of the locals legitimately decided to let me stay in his place for a few nights...Ordinarily I'd have refused, but he was pretty insistent." Aya shrugged.
"I-I made cocoa if you want any." She gestured to the still hot drinks on the bench, before she sat and offered one to Leo. Would she take it?

It was nice to see the Lilac haired girl again, and thankfully not in the armor she most likely would froze wearing that in a place like this, also Leo prefers her with the glasses over the revealing armor specially if they're just going to hang out, that's the main reason she's by herself and not with the army (or at least not with the whole group as of now she only carries the gears in the Xros Loader just in a case of emergency), just two friends hanging out no need for the maker of crazy shenanigans around.
"No shame on accepting if they were insistent, we all need a break and be confortable from time to time, right?" She said as accepted the cup of Cocoa and sitting next to Aya on the bench
The German wasn't wearing anything out of the ordinary for her, most notrious was a red beanie and black long coat and gloves, she didn't mind cold weather that much but she didn't want to freeze either, and besides it's not like she gets to enjoy a cold/snowy day when half of her partners are able to generate fire in some capacity.
"This kinds of days are beautiful aren't they? There something about snowy days that warms me, maybe is also the fact that I learn to take things easier a little" The blonde said taking a sip "Mhmm! This is delicious!
Having a place to stay and people around watching her to not do something dumb also helps, honestly the main factor is that for the last couple of days she simply stop walking (or driving) the digital world upside down looking for partners and to get strong, she simply took a break and enjoy herself a little it's not like rushing will help her in the slightest.
"So... I'm assuming things here but, nothing special in the other world? You know being this time of the year"

"Y-Yeah, I guess so..." It was better to spend the time she had there with someone she cared about, right? And Coolmon was just gonna trash the place, and her brother...had other engagements. So, Leo it was. She had dressed about as appropriately for the weather as Aya had, so they had plenty of time to (not literally) chill out here. "They are. They really are--there's a few parts of the Digital World that're super pretty, but not as pretty as you." Did she just actually say that? Because it didn't seem like she realized she said anything like that. "And thank you! I...brewed it myself. With stuff in the cottage. Really wasn't that hard..."
Nothing special in the other world?
"Oh. N-No, not really. I don't do a lot during the holidays, just...sleep and deal with family. Enjoy the reprieve from studying for a bit. The usual. What about you? Did you usually do anything around this time before...y'know...?"

Leo was taking another sip of the cocoa when the compliment of the lilac girl was delivered, which definitely vaught her off guard to the point that she almost choke on her drink, thankfully the German just cough for a couple of seconds until she regain her composure.
"W-well thank you.." Said blushing a little, she felt like she could say something to compliment her too but the blonde felt a little awkward, maybe when she is not red?
Eleonora did raise an eyebrow at the answer Aya gave to her question, of course there was nothing wrong with doing nothing but sleep on holidays, is the time of the year to take a break after all, yet it was a little of a surprise that she didn't have someone else to be right now, then again she shouldn't think too hard about it at least the blonde has someone to spend time with now aside from her partners
"I'm glad that you invited me tho, it beats being just with my partners and not even the full group, believe it or not Kamina did have someone to spend the holidays as crazy as that sounds" Eleonora laughed, to think that bean has someone special is incredible and funny the more you think about it
Of course it didn't took long for the question to come up and being honest, it wasn't that hard to answer she doesn't remember much if anything, the German shrugged and took another sip of the cocoa
"I wish I could say I did, but my memory is still all over the place, if you think about it this would be basically my first christmas!" It was a little obvious that despite taking things lightly now, this whole "wraith" thing still bother her a lot

It took Aya all of five seconds to realize what she had just said before she noticed Leo nearly choking on her drink, the pinkette setting her own aside to pat her on the back to help her not cough so much. "E-Easy, easy..." She murmured, quietly. There was a notable look of worry on her face for a few moments!
She then nodded at the thanks. "I-I'm glad you came! It'd...be really lonely to spend the holidays alone here, in all honesty. In a world I'm still getting used to." Despite being a knight? The truth of the matter was that Aya still felt like an alien to this world. An ant among giants.
"That...does sound crazy." She giggled some, before she took another sip of cocoa. THEN she set the cup down again. "If it's your first Christmas again, then...I'd be honored to spend it with you, Eleonora." Aya said with a genuine smile. "W-Wanna head inside? I tried to do some decorating...Plus it's way warmer, too."

Eleonora nodded to Aya's comment, it'll be a real shame having to spend the holidays all by yourself in a world you barely know, she guess that the digimon who gave her the Cottage did not accept a no and left her with no choice but to stay and take care of the place, yet it was a little sad hearing that "Spend holidays alone in a world I'm still getting used to"
"I imagine you gave a good excuse to your family to not spend the holidays with them" Probably not the best thing to say but the blonde was genuinely interested as to why spending these days on a place you're unfamiliar with "Well if you really are that honored to spend Christmas with me I'll make sure it's the best Christmas for both!"
That said Leo nodded to the invitation to go outside, she left the cup to the side and stood up waiting for Aya to do the same and once she did the German would pull her in for a surprise hug, Eleonora was really happy to have met her and thankful for all the things she did for her, what better way to show it with a warm hug?

"I mean, I do have an excuse--I don't think it's a very good one but I have it." Aya admitted, albeit a bit sheepishly. "I mostly want to keep to myself for the holidays, and with how my family...usually acts towards me, that's not the easiest thing in the world to do. Of course, when your parents all but worship you and do the opposite for your brother, it's...a pretty difficult confluence to be at, I guess...?"
That, and spending Christmas in a whole new world seemed like something one could easily consider to be fun. Add in your best friend who isn't a weird rabbit who owned an ice cream stand and one had the potentiality for a fun day. Aya took another sip of her cup and stood up, only to be hit with a surprise hug from Eleonora.
Okay, she...actually had not anticipated this. Aya hadn't spilled her drink, but she did set it down and slowly went to return the hug. "...Someone seems pretty happy..." She uttered with a small smile gracing her face. While she did want to get inside as soon as possible? There wasn't any harm in prolonging the hug, was there?
So that's what she did. She just kept Eleonora in her arms for the time being. "This is already a pretty nice Christmas, too."

Leo kept Aya on her arms for a little longer, she didn't want to break the hug it felt so nice and they haven't seen each other in a while, of course the German wanted to take every chance to enjoy their time together, the blonde giggle in response to Aya's comment
"Why wouldn't I be happy? I'll be spending the holidays with a very special friend"
It was hard to explain but whenever Leo was next to Aya she felt at ease, as if she had nothing to worry about and that everything will be OK, that kind of feeling she hasn't felt in a long time, but how can you say that without sounding like a weirdo or creating an awkward moment? And that is why this hug is special, it can mean a lot of things and won't feel odd at all
The blonde tighten the hug a little before releasing her friend "Agree, it already feels like a good Christmas and I'm sure it's gonna get better as time goes by" Leo smiled "I'm ready to head inside when you are, can't wait to see how you decorated the place!"
It will definitely be a nice holiday, two friends spending time together with no crazy shenanigans nor life or death situations, what else can anyone ask for?

Leo might not have realized it, but even if Aya didn't want to hold the hug a little longer? She still lingered. There was a part of her that enjoyed being in the German's arms. That much was for certain.
What stood out to the pinkette, though? Leo called her...special. She thought she was special. Normally these words wouldn't necessarily stand out to her, but to hear them coming from Eleonora resonated with her. And she couldn't really figure out why. There was a lot she didn't know about the German but she did enjoy her company, just as much as Leo seemed to enjoy hers.
And that was what she liked about this. It was just them.
"D-Decorated? Uh...I didn't really decorate it myself, it was like it was when I came in. I think the owner did it themselves, interesting as that is." Would the identity of this mystery owner be revealed?
Probably not in this century.
Nonetheless, Aya pulled away from Leo, though she kept a sure grip on one of the German's hands as she went to pick up her cocoa and lead the blonde inside, opening the door to be greeted with a blast of warmth. There was a small hallway leading to what appeared to be a cozy and well-lit living room with a hearth going. Or, what looked to be a fireplace. What would Leo do?

Just like Aya's little slip before, the German didn't realize she use the word "special", if anything Eleonora thnks she say "Spending the holidays with a friend", but there was no harm in letting Aya know that she means a little more than any other friend, right?
The blonde hold her cup and took another sip while Aya hold her other hand and guide into the cottage, once inside the German could felt it was more warmth than outside and after walking a small hallway they reach a well lit living room with a fireplace nearby, definitely a nice and cozy place, still she couldn't think of a digimon that could've decorated the place
Nonetheless the blonde proceed to make herself confortable taking her red beanie and the black coat, the place was warm enough for her not to be wearing that kind of clothes, Aya would notice that Eleonora was wearing a dark blue t-shirt instead of her usual black and gray stripped shirt
"You like it? I though it was time to get something new, tho I'm not too good at picking stuff" She laughed "In any case, whoever give you this place I'm glad he pushed you to accept it, it looks really nice and beats being on my RV any day"

The word kept ringing in Aya's head. Special. She thinks I'm special. Again, Leo may not have realized this, but...that was important to her. It truly was. On the subject of the cottage proper, though, perhaps the digimon that did this really knew what it was they were doing?
No way to find out now, though. There was a coat rack for Leo to hang her coat on if she so desired, and upon noticing the German doing that, Aya perked up a bit. "O-Oh! Right!" She forgot she was wearing one for a few moments. The pinkette took a moment to unbutton her coat and slip it off along with her scarf, before taking another to enjoy the warmth.
...Leo could definitely notice the tank top that Aya was wearing. It was simple, a bright blue with white stripes, but one could tell it wasn't something that Aya wore often if at all. She turned to face the German and gave her an earnest nod! "I do! It's nice to change up your style every so often, as small as the change might be. Um...I think I like the RV just as much as I like this place, though. Both feel pretty comfy in their own ways, even if one's more seasonal than anything." She admitted.

Eleonora hanged her coat and beanie on the coat rack and waited for Aya to take her own coat off so she could hang it too, what she did not expect was to see what Aya was wearing underneath, to be fair she saw her in a swimsuit before so it shouldn't be too odd for her just seeing her friend in a tank top, truth be told for some reason the blonde couldn't take her eyes away from Ayaka
"T-That really looks good on you too" She stuttered a little and then grab the lilac girl's coat and hang it, all while still looking at her, somehow she didn't manage to drop the coat rack "Y-Yeah, I agree, the RV might be as cozy as this place, but you know sometimes one miss being on an actual house" She explain still unable to aver her eyes from Aya
Why was she having such a hard time trying to look away? Hell if she could she never look away, the lilac girl looks really damn good, yet she don't want to make things awkward, she had to think of something to keep the conversation going and focus on something else
"As I was saying this place looks nice, who was the digimon that gave it to you?" Said the blonde looking around trying to focus in the decoration yet still having Aya in the corner of her eye to take quick looks

"Oh, thank you!" Aya was beaming at the compliment! She had been unsure about wearing this for the evening, but it was a genuinely comfortable choice for her to put on. ...Why was Leo staring at her, though?
Not that she minded, but it was something that was worth pointing out nonverbally at the very least. "I-I get what you mean though." Aya nodded a few times. Was she making eye contact with Eleonora? Potentially.
What Digimon decided to lend her the cottage? That...was something that she was unsure how to say. "It was this...really short one that only wore a pair of sweatpants. I think Coolmon called it a Neemon? It looked...kind of horrifying because it had it's eyes closed all the time."
Aya did notice that Leo was...not looking directly at her for a time. Only quick glances. "L-Leo, is...something wrong?" Should she cover up? Were her arms distracting?
