Chapter 1
Well, this is my first fanfic ever! I read some of the stuff here and it was so

good! I know I could never compare to some of the authors here they're just

amazing! I hope I come close though! I decided to upload it to fanfiction.net in

hopes that people will give me their opinion and constructive criticism. So please

read, enjoy, and review! Oh and of course Digimon does not belong to me it

belongs to Toei and Fox Kids (i think!) I am merely borrowing the charcters for this

story.

Taichi attempted to snuggle down farther into his jacket. The chilling wind

wipped at his face and he clutched his messenger bag close to him as he ran a

hand through his dark, unruly hair.

He pulled open the double doors to his dormitory and stepped inside,

greeted by the soft hum of the heater. He fished through his pockets and pulled out

the key to his dorm room. He pulled off his jacket and boots careful not to wake the

sleeping figure of his room mate.

Grabbing his shower cubby which contained all of his toiletries, he headed

back out again to the washrooms convinced to get a quick shower in before he fell

asleep. He undressed and stepped under the awaiting water, running his hands

through his hair as the warm water cascaded all around him. As he stepped out of

the shower he grabbed a towel from the hook and wrapped it around himself.

"You were out late."

Taichi spun around and was startled to see his room mate, Yamato, leaning

against the wall of the bathroom.

"Yah, I walked Hikari home last night and fell asleep on the couch." Taichi

explained.

"You were supposed to help me with that essay I had to write for english."

Yamato stated simply. "I am writing it about you y'know. I can't exactly do it by

myself."

Taichi looked down at the ground afraid to look at his friend. He knew the

dissappointment that would be etched in Yamato's eyes.

"One time is okay Taichi, but this is the third time this week that you've blown

me off. What's going on with you?"

Taichi looked up at his friend and when he saw the pained look on Yamato's

face he looked back down at the ground. Yamato shook his head and mentioned

something about Taichi not caring about anyone but himself. Taichi couldn't hear

him though, all he could think about was how much of a crummy friend he was.

Yamato turned and silently left leaving Taichi to drown in his thoughts.

He sunk down to the cold ceramic tile on the bathroom floor. He knew he had

to tell his friend soon, but the words just wouldn't come to him. He had purposely

been staying away from his friend in order to avoid a major dilemma. He couldn't

hide it anymore though. The truth was bound to come out soon. He had been aching

to release it for a couple years now, but it was too complicated. He cursed himself

for ending up like he did. He had talked to his sister about it, but she just didn't

understand. No one else would understand unless they were, as his dad so nicely

put it, "infected" like he was.

Sighing, he pused himself up off the floor. He quickly dressed and gathered

up all his stuff. He puffed out a breath and smoothed his shirt. Here he was trying to

stall again.

He walked up to their dorm room and paused outside of the door

reciting in his head what he would say to Yamato. He was almost trampled as

Yamato yanked oped the door. Taichi eyed him. He was wearing his coat and

boots, obviously planning on heading outside for a walk. Yamato did that all the

time. When things just weren't going right for him he would go for walks to clear his

head. Rain, snow, shine, when Yamato was confused you'd without a doubt see him

walking aound the campus of Odaiba University.

"Where are you going?" Taichi questioned even though he knew the answer.

"I'm going for a walk." Yamato stared down at him.

"I knew that."

"If you knew why would you ask me?"

"I guess," Taichi started, "I guess it was just for reassurance. I've been a jerk

lately I wouldn't be surprised if you decided to stay with someone else."

Yamato was about to say something but Taichi cut him off.

"Yama we need to talk."

"About what?"

He looked at Taichi suspiciously, pulled off his jacket, and shoved his hands

into the pockets of his dark blue jeans. He pushed past Taichi and sat on the edge

of the bed.

"I... uh... I don't know how to say this..." Taichi stuttered.

"Well, out with it already!" Yamato replied impatiently.

"It isn't exactly the easiest thing to tell someone Yama! This could affect our

friendship forever!"

"Okay, okay I get the point I'm sorry."

"Y'know what? Just forget it."

Taichi turned around and yanked the door open. He was halfway down the

hall when he felt a light hand on his shoulder. He turned around and glared at

Yamato.

"Careful Tai you could kill someone with that look." Yamato grinned, "Look

I'm sorry, really, you were a jerk, I was a jerk, we're even okay? Now, what was it you

wanted to tell me?"

Tai took a deep breath and sighed. This was going to be hard.
