Living a Lie - Taichi
By: Lord Archive
Digimon belongs to Toei Animation Co., Fox Kids, Saban Entertainment, Bandai, and so on... and is used without consent. I'm only borrowing them I'll return them as soon as they release uncut episodes with original Japanese language and subtitles.
Daisuke: What?! They'll never do that!
Archive: It's not my fault they won't cater to their market.

I once heard somewhere there was no greater pain than being near the one you love but can never express it. I can vouch for that. I've been maimed, turned into a key-chain, chewed on, dropped off a cliff, drowned, and probably have been dead once or twice during all of that, and still the pain I feel now is worse.
We were always good friends. For as long as I can remember we were friends. Even before the Digital World, I knew who I could rely on. To always be there for me when I needed it. But apparently I wasn't. By the time I knew what I felt, it was too late. My love was dating my best friend, because I wouldn't realize what we had.
Part of me wouldn't give up hope. Their relationship wouldn't last. How could it? They didn't show much sign of liking each other before. But it did last. After almost three years of dating they got married on August first. A day I once cherished turned into one day I wished the calendar would skip. And I was the damned Best Man.
How many times could I have stopped this? How many times did I fail to get my famed courage together and admit how I felt?
If it had been anyone else besides my best friend, I would've been able to say it. But they became so happy together I didn't want to interfere, didn't want to see either of them hurt... So I said nothing at all. I just waited, praying something would happen but hoping it wouldn't for their happiness.
Now... now all chance is lost. They're going to have a baby. My love is starting a family, a family that I'm only a part of because my little sister is engaged to their little brother.
I'll try to be a good uncle to the kid, even though he should never have been. But it's my fault for letting all the chances go. Never taking a risk.
I'm such a coward.

Author's Notes:
I purposely left this part ambiguous as to whether Taichi is in love with Sora or Yamato. Chose which ever you prefer.
