Author Note: I didn't think I would post this fan fiction up, since the song-fics I write tend to be for my personal enjoyment. Somehow, while I was talking to my friend about oneshots, I had the impulse to post this. So, after completing all assignments due tomorrow (or today to be exact, since it is 12:36), I finally went through this, edited a bit more, and then posted.

Summary: (I suck at these) Basically, Yamato marries Sora, but Taichi is not happy. Sorato, and one-sided Taito. One-shot.

Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon, nor the song Behind These Hazel Eyes. It belongs to Kelly Clarkson.

"Behind These Hazel Eyes"

The bride and groom were finally happily married. They were finally man and wife. This caused reason for great celebration, and why shouldn't it? Everyone knew that they would end up getting married. Ah, yes. Yamato and Sora The perfect couple. Yet, not everyone had hoped that this would happen. In fact, someone lost in the crowd had prayed that this day would not come, that this day would never have to pass. And that person was Taichi Yagami.

Seems like just yesterday
You were a part of me
I used to stand so tall
I used to be so strong

Taichi couldn't understand how this happened. He thought Yamato cared about him. He thought that they could actually be together.

Your arms around me tight
Everything, it felt so right
Unbreakable, like nothin' could go wrong

He thought Yamato loved him.

Now I can't breathe
No, I can't sleep
I'm barely hanging on

He should have known that all the hopes and dreams he held for a future together would be crushed and shattered.

Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one

After all, wasn't it just so obvious that he could never be with Yamato? That Yamato loved Sora? And that Yamato would never give her up just to make him happy, no matter how close their friendship?

Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes

He knew that Yamato would never intentionally hurt him. They were best friends. Yamato had been the only one who could get to him, the only one who truly understood him, the only one who…made him feel safe.

I told you everything
Opened up and let you in
You made me feel alright
For once in my life

That day Yamato told him he was engaged to Sora was the worst day of his life. He felt his entire world shatter right before his eyes.

No, wait. It wasn't his world that shattered. His world, or in more specific terms, his life, was still intact. He could still go on living it. It was just his heart that had suddenly been torn apart, ripped into pieces. His soul, crushed and destroyed.


Now all that's left of me
Is what I pretend to be
So together, but so broken up inside

And now, he was drowning in the crushed remains of them. Who would have thought? Taichi? Depressed? The two being together was like trying to force two North poles together.

'Cause I can't breathe
No, I can't sleep
I'm barely hangin' on

But right now wasn't the time for jokes, at least, not for him. His friends were all laughing together, but he couldn't join them. He just couldn't.

Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend

Just thought you were the one

This was too much. He couldn't stay for the dinner party afterwards. Not when…not when he couldn't have him. Slowly, he made his way to the door, but before he exited the church, he took one last look at Yamato.

Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes

Somehow, their eyes met, and Taichi thought he saw a flicker of remorse in those pulchritudinous sapphire eyes. But the next second, it was gone, vanished without a trace.

Swallow me then spit me out
For hating you, I blame myself
Seeing you it kills me now
No, I don't cry on the outside
Anymore...

Sighing, he made his way out of the church and got into his car. He inserted the key and began driving away, his dead eyes staring blankly at the road, no longer able to cry those tears that once guided him home.

Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes

If only there was some way to make it so that the marriage had never happened.

Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes

But it was too late now. It was already done.
