@taichiyagamiweek Day 4, July 10th 2024: Taichi & Takeru
Taichi and Takeru are sharing, quite literally, a brotherly connection with one another: Taichi, who is famous for taking the younger ones under his wing, doesn't pamper but instead encourages Takeru by giving him responsible tasks, such as taking care of Hikari. Takeru on the other hand greatly looks up to Taichi, wants to impress him - and actually doesn't shy away from letting him know that he sees him as a brotherly figure. They're undeniably caring for each other, having fun and being dorky together and even though they may not remain as visibly close years after their adventures in the Digital World, an underlying sense of fondness between them still persists - and Takeru may still figuratively look up to Taichi, even though it's likely that he has sliiiiightly surpassed him in height as an adult.
