WMITBW- Kouri - Part 20

Chapter 20

A few months had passed and it was now the day in which we would all be moving to our new apartment. I said my farewells to my parents; mom was really sad but at the same time she seemed happy that Rita and I were taking the next step together. Tai and Mimi had gone on ahead to do some unpacking. What was great about the location of the apartment was that it was really close to the University in which we were all going to. Rita had contacted the movers and they had already taken all of our belongings over to the new place. Rita and I were just driving over to help the others out.

It took about 2 weeks but it looks like everything was finally unpacked. "The place is looking great isn't it Mimi?" Rita asked "Yeah but I think it needs a few feminine touches, you know like some flowers and maybe some candles." Mimi replied as both the girls started to list off a bunch of objects that we apparently weren't able to live without. Tai ended up giving me a hand with all of my books, not that I wasn't strong enough to lift them… He is just taller. Once everything was unpacked we all decided to throw a little get together. Matt, Sora, and Joe all came over for some drinks. Of course Rita and I weren't ones for alcohol, either way it was a lot of fun. So many things have happened over the years but one thing is for sure… We will always be together. Sadly though time seems to be flying by; it seemed as if it was just yesterday that Rita and I met for the first time. Even our adventures in the Digital world seemed as though it was last week. It was great that Tentomon and the others can come and visit us whenever they want; only problem is that the place gets kind of crowded when all the digimon come over. In time I hope that Rita and I get a place to ourselves, one where we can start a family. Of course all of this being down the road; this is only our second year of University after all.

The following week, Tai, Mimi, Sora, Matt, Rita, and myself all decided to go on a hot spring trip for golden week. The girls had been going nuts about it for the past few weeks and it was all we ever heard. "Oh wow this place looks amazing" Mimi stated as we all walked in. "I can't wait to take a bath, it has been such a long time since we have been to a hot spring right Mimi?" Sora smiled as Mimi nodded in reply. "So guys it looks like we will be seeing you later" Rita winked as her and the girls took off the other direction. "I guess it's just us guys now…" Tai stated as we also headed to our room. It was kind of weird that we were all here with our girlfriends yet we were sleeping in separate rooms.

It was great once we got into the hot spring; there wasn't anyone else there so it was just Tai, Matt, and myself. "It sure has been a while since it has been just the three of us." Matt smiled "You know something I think it's nice just us guys, it has been some time." I replied "Yeah I mean the last time the three of us talked like this was the night we tried to get Izzy to ask Rita out on a date" Tai and Matt both laughed remembering my failure. "Oh come on guys it wasn't that bad…" I stuttered "Yeah but it's funny to think that after all that everything ended up working out" Matt said as he patted me on the shoulder. "You know… I really do appreciate everything you two have done for me. Besides Tentomon you two are my best friends… I hope you know that." I blushed a little "We feel the same right Matt?" Tai answered as he then turned to Matt. "Yeah and I am sure the girls feel the same with each other. I just know that we will always be together no matter what the future holds." Matt responded "Let's make a pact; over the years if and when we get married and have kids, that the three of us always make time at least once a month for a guy's night out" Tai spoke as he placed his hand in the center. "Agreed" I then placed my hand on top of his "Yeah for sure" Matt said as he did the same. One thing I have learned over the years is that your friends give you a kind of strength you never knew you had. They give you a reason to live and I don't know what I would do without any of them.
