Who: Mikey and Leatherhead
What: Mikey seeks to sooth one of the two people he cares about that are at odds with each other
When: November 23rd (after thread in Donnie's apology post)
Where: Near the friendship district, outside to start

Mikey approached the friendship district, starting from the area closes to what had been the market place, looking for Leatherhead as he went.

"Leatherhead? I'm here... where are you?" He sounded slightly choked up, and more than a little worried, as he called for his boyfriend. Both Leormon and Leader hand opted to come with him, just to be sure he was safe, and were searching quietly around Mikey. He wasn't going to stop until he found his boyfriend. He may not be able to fix all of this for everyone, but he sure as shell wasn't going stop until he had helped someone.

"You too, huh? Yeah, guess after everything he's just gonna forget that and leave me. You see how he turned on that gap tooth nerd the minute he beat up Mikey."

Leatherhead felt disconsolate, lost. If Mikey couldn't truly smile, then everything else had little hope. He kept stroking Mikey, something to soothe himself, "...do you mean that?"

"I don't know... the thing with Donnie seems... different. It's not like you go around beating up Mikey." She sighs."Then again, I really don't know. I think that's what's messing with me the most. I don't know if I should be getting ready to leave, or if... I'm staying. I just... don't know." And that scared her. She didn't say it, but the fact lingered there, as if she may as well have.

"Of course I mean it. You are... you are the best thing in my life. You are someone that can't be replaced." He held on to Leatherhead a little tighter. "And without you here... I wouldn't be okay right now."

All griping aside, Duke never expected someone like Leader to sympathize with him before. The Impmon just sighed, speaking, "Yeah but until we figure it out then it's just us on our own, sticking for ourselves.

Leatherhead, moving again, kept an arm hung over his lover's shoulder, "I feel the same for you..."

Leader was quiet a moment after that before looking directly at Duke. "If we end up that way... maybe we could stick together, so we aren't completely on our own." In spite of her tough, no nonsense personality, Leader seemed to be very fragile about some things.

Mikey leaned slightly against Leatherhead as they walked, a small, almost not even there smile, but a real smile, showing up. "Thank you, for always caring."

He looks right back, his expression lost despite all his pride, "Yeah...that'd be good..."

There it is...Leatherhead felt a little weight in his heart lifting from seeing that. "It is all I can do..."

"Thank you." She says before finally going quiet. She wished she were Gatomon at the moment, so that she could have her front paw free to at least make a nice gesture, like touching Duke's hand, but as it was she was stuck walking on all four paws.

Mikey could tell Leatherhead felt better, seeing him smile even just that little bit, and while he couldn't smile more at the moment without forcing it, he made sure not to let it disappear. "It means a lot to me."
