A/N: My fourth Digimon fanfic. Yay! Okay, if you just picked on whatever fic at random, here's a little summary for you in case you missed the other one. Taichi has a major crush on Yamato, but knows that Yamato is dating Koushiro, and he thinks it could never happen. Until Hikari tells him that she heard from Takeru that Yamato is going to dump Koushiro at their next Digidestined meeting. And so, Taichi decides that if it's true, he is going to try to get Yamato to be his boyfriend. This fic is going to be funny and romancey. Hope you like! R/R.

Pairings: Taito (duh...), Yamashiro (Just at the very beginning), one-sided Yamagabu (That is, Gabumon has a crush on Yamato), Takeyako, one-sided Koura (How *do* you write that pairing?), one-sided Taiora (Don't worry, it's only Sora crushing on Tai), and those are only the pairings mentioned in *this chapter!*

Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon, the characters, or...anything mentioned in this fic besides the ideas that came directly from my mind.

Dedications: Um, Zatchi (Wooh! Told you I'd get you), Kat-chan (You must write more fics with Ake-chan in them), Sarah-chan (In case you didn't see the dedication in the last chapter of Party At Mimi's), and Ikky (For doing the dumb disclaimer for me twice in Party At Mimi's and being a good inspiration-muse-thingy).

Secrets Spread

Taichi stared sadly out of the window of his bedroom, lying on his side, spread out on the bed. He sighed. He thought of his long-time crush on his best friend...and how pointless it was. Yama was never going to notice him, right? I mean, he had Koushiro. They had a great relationship and Tai was only getting in the way. He sat up on his bed and reached out for his cd player, his hand fumbling around in the dark until it brushed across the surface and grabbed the cd player, pulling it onto his lap. He ran his finger over the side until he could feel the buttons he knew by memory, and pressed Play. He was just about to put his headphones on when the door was thrown open and light intruded into the darkness, and he glanced up and squinted at the form of his sister in the doorway.

"Taichi! Taichi, guess what? You'll never guess what I heard from TK on the phone. And why do you have the lights off?" She flicked the switch on.

"I don't care," he grumbled, turning away from the light and putting his arm over his face, pulling his headphones up to press one against the ear not smothered by the pillow.

Hikari sighed and walked to her brother's bed, climbing onto it and laying down beside her brother. She pulled his headphone away from his ear and he turned to glare at her.

"What?"

"Just hear me out, okay? This isn't like you to be so mopey. And besides, my wonderful news will cure that."

"How could something Gilligan said to you over the phone cheer me up?"

"It's about Yamato and Koushiro."

He shot up in bed. Okay, so maybe it *could* cheer him up a bit. It wouldn't be so bad to just listen, would it?

"Well, spill it, woman! What did Hat Boy say to you?!"

Hikari giggled. "That's more like it. TK says that he was talking to Yamato and Yama says that he wants to dump Koushiro at our next meeting, which is, by the way, tomorrow. And if that's true, you still have a chance to make that blonde bishonen yours!"

By now Taichi had his pillow in a death grip and he was biting down on the end from excitement. Yamato...and Koushiro...broken up? Tomorrow? Chance with blonde boy? This *was* good news.

And then pessimism overtook him. "But what if Yamato likes someone else? What if he just laughs at me if I hit on him? Or what if he's disgusted? What if-"

"Taichi, if you spend your life asking, "What if?" all the time, then you might as well not really live at all. Sometimes, it's good to take risks. Are you not the Child of Courage? Are you not a Yagami? Are you not a man?!"

"Okay, okay! First of all, we have to see what happens tomorrow. Hat Boy may just be fibbing, you know."

"Why would he?"

"Let's just wait for tomorrow, okay? Before we start plotting to trap Yamato and all."

"Oh, okay."

She hopped off of the bed and walked to the doorway. She placed her hand on the wall and turned back to him, grinning. "Oh, and by the way, you didn't hear all of that from me. I sort of promised TK I wouldn't tell anyone, which of course meant that I would tell you and now I'm off to tell Gatomon. I'm sure he told Miyako...oh well. We'll all just have to act surprised tomorrow, I suppose."

And with that she exited the room. Taichi hugged his pillow and laughed into it, and Agumon came in through the door to stare at him blankly. "Tai, are you feeling okay? You're laughing. I thought you said you were busy sulking. I don't know what sulking means, but I thought it had something to do with being sad?"

"Forget the sulking, Agumon! Tomorrow, I may have the chance of witnessing the greatest thing to happen to the Digidestined since the defeat of that annoying woman, Arukenimon!"

"And her odd sidekick-guy, Mummymon."

"Yeah, him too."

"So, what's the greatest thing to happen to the Digidestined since the-"

"Yamato and Koushiro are going to break up!"

Agumon blinked. "We're supposed to be happy about that?"

"Well, of course we are!"

"But I thought break-ups were supposed to make lots of crying and sad people and depressing stuff."

"Well, not this break-up! This one is going to make a very happy Taichi." He rubbed his hands together, grinning and laughing to himself. Agumon merely shook his head, wondering if he would ever fully understand human emotions and their sudden mood-changes.

~ ~ ~ ~

Gabumon stared at his human partner for a long time, trying to figure out what in the world could be causing such disturbance in his feelings. Yamato hadn't moved once since he got home from band practice. He just lay on his bed, staring at the opposite wall and clutching the blanket to himself. No matter how many times Gabu had tried to ask him what was wrong, the boy wouldn't answer. Gabu sighed and turned back around, staring at the floor and going through his head everything that had happened lately. Yamato had left for band practice in the same mood, not talking much and with a sadness in his eyes that only a few select people, such as Gabumon himself, could see. Before that, he had talked to his brother on the phone and then hung up and run a hand through his hair, sighing. Maybe Takeru had said something to upset him? No, the boy wouldn't dare upset his big brother like that.

Then again, they seemed to be talking about Koushiro. Had something gone wrong in their relationship? Maybe Koushiro hurt his dear Yamato? Gabumon narrowed his eyes. If that redhead had said one wrong thing to Yama-chan...he relaxed. Yamato was his best friend. He would tell him everything he wanted to know soon enough. He turned back around on the bed and saw that the blonde had turned around to face him, staring forward at nothing.

Gabumon decided to try to talk to him again. "Yamato?"

Yamato slowly turned to look at Gabumon, and Gabumon cringed at the despair he saw in his deep blue eyes. "What's wrong, Yama-chan?" he asked carefully.

Yamato stared at the young blue wolf for a while, and then sat up in bed, deciding that it was okay to tell his Digimon partner the truth. "Come here," he whispered, patting his lap.

Gabumon quickly climbed onto his legs and crawled onto his lap, curling up and staring lovingly up at the boy. Yamato sighed and stroked Gabumon's fur along his back, smiling when the blue Digimon arched into his touch.

"Gabu, I've decided to break up with Koushiro tomorrow."

He felt Gabumon tense under his hand and look up into Yamato's eyes, searching for a sign of truth in his words. Could it be? Could his dream finally be coming true? He only saw truth in his partner's eyes, and his own eyes shone in glee.

Yamato stroked his fur again, trying to ease the tension, and did his best to comfort the Digimon by smiling genuinely. "It's for the best, Gabu. I never should have spent an entire month with Koushiro anyways. It just wasn't meant to be. Besides, I only did it because I was upset at seeing my true crush walk a girl to her classroom. I guess I got sort of jealous and knew Koushiro had a crush on me, and so I asked him out to sort of get back at the other boy."

Yamato cringed, waiting for Gabumon to get after him for playing with Koushiro's feelings, but nothing happened. He missed the sadness that flashed through his partner's eyes. Yamato had a crush on someone else now? An even deeper thing than what he had with Koushiro? Gabumon took a deep breath and decided he had to do a lot of thinking, alone. "If you think that's what's best, then by all means, go for it, Yama-chan. I'm with you on this decision."

Yamato sighed in relief. He didn't think he could go through with it if Gabumon disapproved. He depended on the Digimon's judgment to make some of his decisions, because he knew Gabumon was a whole lot smarter than he usually let on. Besides, most of Gabumon's advice and ideas worked out perfectly. If they didn't, they at least worked out. Upon hearing the words, "I'm with you on this decision", he knew his heart was set. The next day, at the Digidestined meeting, he would have to break it to Koushiro that he was going to dump him. What ever happened after that just happened.

"Really? Yamato and Koushiro?"

Takeru nodded and grinned, leaning against his girlfriend and nuzzling her neck. "Tomorrow, we'll at least have a show at our meeting. Who knows? There may even be a few arguments involved."

"How fun," Miyako said, giggling and hugging her boyfriend around the waist. "And I bet they don't even know the other likes them. They have absolutely no clue about each other's crushes, do they?"

"Nope. If we have to, I suppose we could give them a little push."

"Oh, but we'll have to work on them both."

"I definitely would have to help Yamato get over his stubbornness, and now that Hikari knows about it all, she could help give Taichi a little shove. Oh, but what *will* we do about Koushiro? He'll be heartbroken when he finds out Yamato wanted Taichi all along and Taichi wants him back. We'll have to have a little talk with him after the meeting, explaining the situation."

"He's a big boy. He can handle it. Especially after what I've heard from special sources."

Miyako grinned mischievously and Takeru gaped at her. "You know something before I do? Oh, tell me what, please!"

"It seems our dear Koushiro didn't really want Yamato in the first place, either. He was actually trying to make a certain red-haired girl jealous, and the relationship ended up lasting longer than he would have guessed."

"So they were both scared to dump the other and hurt their feelings?"

"Exactly."

"Ohhhh, this is priceless!" Takeru laughed. "Tomorrow is going to be *so* fun! And you say Koushiro has a crush on somebody else...red-haired girl. Red-haired girl...Sora?!"

"Yup!" Miyako squealed, nodding.

Takeru giggling and fought to control his breathing in his excitement. "So, tomorrow Yamato is going to dump Koushiro because he likes Tai but doesn't know Tai likes him back, and Koushiro won't mind because then he'll go for Sora, but he doesn't know Sora has a crush on Tai?! I am so going to love being a Digidestined Cupid."

"This is even better than a soap opera. And I love soap operas," Miyako said, grinning.

"Tomorrow better come soon, because if it doesn't, I'm going to die from excited gasping laughter."

"I'll die along with you for the same reasons, don't worry."
