You stared at Patamon.Patamon stared back at you, with hope in their eyes. Patamon and you were the only people in the apartment. Takeru had class, and your Digimon was having a sleepover with chibimon and wormmon. So it was just you and Patamon.After a few hours of you just reading or watching TV, Patamon had come up to you asking you to do something with him. You knew that Patamon, and the other Digimon can get fidgety when their partners aren’t near for long periods of time.You were fine with that, you got a little fidgety when you didn’t hear your Digimon running around.But, one thing was wrong, you and Patamon didn’t really get along. You were friends, yes, you were Takeru’s boyfriend, you had to be friends with his other partner. But that was about it, you and Patamon were also pretty different. Patamon was laid back and fun loving, you were hyper and a little moody.Patamon would like to go for a walk, you wanted to stay inside and watch TV. That was the problem.You wanted to bond with Patamon, one of the best things you’ve ever seen was your Digimon and Takeru laughing about something together. You wanted Takeru to feel that. But it was hard when you and Patamon really didn’t mix well. Like oil and water, friendly, but not mixing.“Can we do something or talk”, Patamon asked. You looked down at the Digimon in your lap.Patamon was leaning against your chest, his little claws holding onto your shirt.“Yeah, but what”, you asked.Patamon let go of your shirt and let himself fall into your lap. “I don’t know, I want to go out, and you want to stay in”, Patamon said, a claw under his chin. You sighed and leaned back. This was a problem, right now it was a small problem but it could get bigger.You and Patamon didn’t really have an interest in common, or something you both liked.That was not good, especially since you were dating Takeru. You both lived in the same apartment, and you planned on marrying Takeru, but that was something for another day.Takeru and your Digimon got on fine, they had something in common.They both liked reading. Takeru and your Digimon would sit at the head of the bed and read a book together. While you and Patamon just sat together, doing your own thing.“We don’t really have anything in common”, you said out loud. Patamon turned to look at you.“What do you mean?” Patamon asked, making you look down at him. “We hang out just fine”, Patamon said. You shook your head, “we can exist in the same room, even make small talk, but that’s it”, you explained.Patamon still looked a little confused so you continued. “Takeru and D/n can do things together, and have full conversations, while we just. Sit there”, you finished your sentence with a sigh.Patamon flew to sit on top of your head, something they did to show love.“But that’s fine”, Patamon said, still not understanding what was making you so upset. “I know but it makes me feel weird that I don’t have something in common with my boyfriend's other partner”, you explained further.You felt Patamon kneed your head, another form of love. You noticed Patamon did it to Takeru when he was mad and/or sad.“So we have to have something in common?”Patamon asked and you nodded. Patamon flew down to sit back in your lap. You thought for a minute. What was something you and Patamon have in common, excluding personality.You tried to think of something, anything. Movies, books, food, games, places, people. People. A thought popped into your head and you smiled, confusing Patamon.“I know something we have in common”, you said.You reached into your lap and picked Patamon up. Holding them so they were face to face with you. “Takeru”, you said, making Patamon tilt his head.“Our love for Takeru”, you said, making Patamon smile.“I love Takeru!” Patamon yelled with a smile. “I do too”, you said. That was what you and Patamon had in common. You both loved Takeru. You both would do anything for Takeru. You both never wanted to leave Takeru’s side.You both smiled when he smiled, laughed when he laughed, cried when he cried. You smiled again and pulled Patamon into your chest, hugging him. Patamon hugged you back with a smile that matched yours.That’s when you and Patamon had in common, something that you could bond over, something that you could talk about.Your love for Takeru.
