Alexander wasn't usually fond of the walk outside of the city to get to his job. It wasn't because he was lazy, far from it, though if he were given the chance, he would lounge around all day and catch up on some sleep; no the issue was just all of the legwork that he had to do every day was beginning to catch up with him. His legs ached, and he was tired from having to wake up before the sun so that he would be able to get to the barn on time and feed the horses he took care of. He could even tell that Cassius at his side was tired, and the Elecmon was usually quite content to hop around and obey him without too much complaining. Sighing quietly to himself, he bent over to scoop up the small creature, carrying the Digimon in his arms. "Up you get, Cassie," he murmured, holding the Elecmon close to his chest. "We've still got a long way to go yet."

Cassie was quiet for a moment, quite content with being carried, but then he spoke. "Lexi," the Digimon asked, cocking his head, "why don't you have a boyfriend?"

Alexi sighed. He had known the question was coming for a while now, ever since his partner had opted to ask about why he wasn't kissing girls like so many guys did in the movies. It had just been a matter of when the question was going to come. "You've seen the way we run around like idiots to keep ourselves in our apartment, it wouldn't be fair to whoever was willing to take me on with all my baggage," he sighed. "I just don't have the time for dating."

The Elecmon was quiet for a long moment before he spoke again, ears drooping. "I'm sorry."

Alexi sighed. And of course his partner would take his tone of voice as frustration over being asked rather than a resentment towards his stepfather for pushing him to celibacy simply to stay out of the man's clutches. "It's not your fault," he replied with a shrug. "It's a choice I had to make for myself, so don't worry about it, okay?"

Cassius nodded, but already his mind was working. He wanted to help his Tamer find that happiness that all those girls in those movies had. Maybe he should tell the other guys that they met that his Tamer wanted to be kissed. That was a surefire way to figure out if someone would be with Alexi... right?
