Hoorah! This is the first time I've actually submitted a story, so please be gentle... Also my first actual Yaoi fic. I'm warning you little Shounen-ai haters to flee now! This is your last warning, and I'm really not going to bother reading flames... So, mneh! ^_^ ::enjoy::
***
Yamato Ishida stared out at the star coated sky as he knocked upon a door that had the letters of the name 'Kamiya' clearly marked on it. He could hear the brief tapping of footsteps, until a medium sized brown haired woman came out to greet him.
"Hello Mrs. Kamiya," He began briskly, "I'm here to speak to Tai about the- history test that we have on Friday. I think that he has my notes..."
"Oh, hello Matt." She said, smiling at him, "Yes, Tai's in his room at the moment. I would make the two of you snacks or something like that, but I'm off to the store..."
"I'm sure we'll be just fine on our own." Yamato said, grinning back at her. He made his way into the house and watched out of the corner of his eye as she plucked up her purse, dropped a pair of keys in and stepped out the door.
Without hesitation, he swiftly yet quietly headed towards Taichi's sleeping quarters. His fingers pried the wooden door open and arranged to proceed inside.
The lights had been turned off, and the room had been dully lit by sun that had managed to pass through the window's curtains. Almost the second that he tip-toed inside the room, he felt someone else's hands upon his sides.
"Hey..." Yamato uttered while wrapping his arms around the boy in front of him.
"Hi..." Tai said, pulling his physique closer. "You sure didn't waste anytime getting here..."
Matt smiled mischievously. "Does this bother you??"
"What to you think?" Tai replied in the same tone, then pushed himself closer, causing their lips to collide. He began running his hand through the hair of his friend, until he leaned over and began kissing his neck.
"Not so fast, Tai..." Matt said slowly, shifting his head away from the brunette's awaiting lips.
"Why??" Taichi answered forcefully, running one of his hands down Yamato's shirt and along his back. "We don't have that much time, so we might as well get as much done as we can..."
His blue eyes shifted uncertainly as he said replied, "I guess...but... don't you want to be able to savor it?"
Tai stared at him impatiently. "What's wrong with you??" He said in irritation. "You've never gotten sentimental like this before... If you're not in the mood, I guess we don't have to, but-"
"No... it's not that... Come on then, lets just get it over with..." Yamato replied with an anxious expression, then kissed Tai once again and began peeling off his clothes.
***
Tai sighed aloud in satisfaction, while letting Yamato's head rest on his shoulder, along with the rest of his body. He rubbed his friend's naked surface tenderly while touching some of the more intimate parts.
"You're getting better at this..." Matt smirked from under the blankets, though his eyes had settled shut. "Do you think Kari heard anything?"
"Nah..." Taichi answered, "I checked with mom; she's sleeping over at Miyako's house to work on a science project."
"Good..." Yamato replied, "I'd hate to imagine what she or T.K. would say if he found out about~" he paused, allowing his cheeks to become tinted red. "You know...'us'..."
"And the best part about this whole thing, is that we can see each other without being afraid of getting hurt." Tai said, stroking Yamato's golden strands gingerly.
"What do you mean?" Matt yawned while running his finger tips along Tai's exposed flesh.
Taichi paused for a moment as if collecting his thoughts, then replied "Well- you know..." He said, sounding a lot younger then he was, "It's not like this really means anything... Just a fling; that's all... We each have our fun, and then go home... Nobody else has to know what happens, right?"
"What the hell are you talking about, Tai?!" Yamato said, pulling his hand away from Taichi's chest and staring at him in disbelief.
Tai drew his hand to his mouth and tried to apologize. "Wait a sec-" he started with an expression of panic, "I didn't mean it like that~! Really, I didn't~! " He swiftly tried to grab the blonde's arm, but missed, as his target pulled away.
Yamato cast a furious glance at him then cried, "Is that all I am to you??? Some goddamned sex object??!"
"No!" Taichi protested, "I didn't~!"
"Don't even bother wasting your breath!" Yamato said, throwing the covers off of his body and onto the floor. He searched through the clothes scattered on the ground until he stumbled across his shirt, pulled it on and then did the same with his uniform pants.
Tai got up and attempted to touch Yamato's skin, but it was abruptly stricken away. "Matt... please, just listen to me, I~!"
"What's the matter, Tai?? Afraid of people finding out that you've been fucking another guy??" The older one said coldly, then stomped away and slammed the bedroom door with all his force.
Taichi sighed, while letting his head drop into his hands. "God, I'm such an idiot..." He tried getting up to go and chase after his partner, but then decided it'd probably be best if he gave Yamato some time to cool down.
***
"Hey, Miyako, what'll happen if I put this in this??"
*Boom~!*
"Daisuke!" The purple haired girl said, snatching the assorted test tubes away from his face, "I just told you not to touch anything!! Do you have your goggles on too tight, or are you just stupid??"
Davis moaned while wiping the black liquid off of his face, then retorted, "At least I'm not a stuck up, conceited little- "
"Stop it..." Iori groaned, not bothering to look over at the other paif. "Can't you just get along once in a while??"
"Enough you two." T.K. came out of the kitchen holding a plate of cookies and some milk. "It's hard enough to concentrate without the both of you trying to tear each other apar-"
But he wasn't able to finish as Daisuke bounded off the ground and greedily stuffed several cookies into his mouth.
"Hey, save the rest of us some...",Miyako said, trying to pry him off of the tray.
"Yeah, Davish!" Chibimon cried, hopping up and down gleefully, "I want some cookies, too!"
Takeru laughed, while pulling them out of his grasp and laying them out on the table for the others to take. His chuckling was quickly silenced though as soon as he glanced around instantly. "Hey, Miyako?"
"Uh, yeah T.K.?" she replied, trying to seize a biscuit from the plate without getting her hand gnawed off.
"Where's Hikari?" He asked, still looking throughout the room.
Miyako stopped a moment, then replied "Last time I checked, she was on the balcony..."
T.K. smiled in his familiar warm fashion then answered, "Gomen..." Then stepped away from the group, and pulled the screen door open to reveal the brunette who appeared to be lost, staring up at the stars in an distressing manner.
The goggle headed boy lifted his head from the food and stared at the two other digi-destine children. He felt his heart ache as he watched the two converse with each other; with the occasional laugh or giggle.
*Why can't I have that with her, too?*
"Hey Davis, are you alright?"
He turned his head to see Iori and Miyako's faces suspended directly in front of his with worried fronts.
"What?" He asked in brief puzzlement, "Oh, me? Yeah, I'm fine." He put on a fake grin to please them both, then dived for the cookies once again.
"When's Ken getting here??" He asked, wiping the crumbs off of his shirt.
"Anytime now..." Miyako said absently, "He called to say that his train would be a bit late."
"Okay..." Davis replied, "Just wondering." He then tried to wipe all thought from his mind as he plopped down onto the couch.
***
Takeru walked out to barrier where Kari gazed out at the night sky.
"Kari?" He said, waving his hand in front of her, "Earth to Hikari..."
She blinked a couple times, before glancing up at him. "Oh, hi T.K.!" She said, beaming, "What're you doing out here??"
T.K. surveyed her for a little while, then raised one of his eyebrows. "What's the matter?" he asked sincerely.
"Me?" She said quickly, staring back at the stars. "Nothing's wrong!"
"Look..." Takeru said, investigating her, "I've known you for a long time, Kari... You don't have to lie to me... I'm hear to listen to you."
She gazed up at him with a look of defeat then sighed loudly.
*He knows me too well...*
"I don't know..." She said, playing with her fingers. "It's just that- oh, it's crazy. I've been having dreams about Tai, that's all."
"What kind of dreams??" T.K. asked, pulling up a chair and sitting down next to her.
Kari appeared squirmish as she replied languidly "It starts out like he's running away from something... though I don't know what...I'm standing on the sidelines, watching him, though I want to go in and help him..."
"Go on??" T.K. urged, laying one of his hands on her shoulder.
"Well..." She said, "He begins to slow down, until finally whatever it is-that- *thing*...It grabs him. He screams, struggling with everything he's got; until everything goes black... I can't see anything for a while, until finally he comes into view. But this time he's crying... I hate it. I hate having to watch him cry."
She pulled her hair back over her ear, then looked down at her feet. "It's really stupid. I don't see why I let it get to me..."
T.K. smiled at her, then said, "That's one of the great things about you, Kari. you're always thinking about everyone else." He paused to help her up, and added, "About the dream...Remember, it was just a nightmare. That doesn't mean that it's going to come true... Try to forget about it, alright?"
"Yeah..." replied Hikari, "I'll try." Her smile glistened, even in the dark, as she said "Thanks for giving me someone to talk to, T.K..."
"No problem!" He laughed, "I know you'd do the same." With that, they both got up, and treaded inside.
***
*I thought he loved me...*
Yamato let his tears flow freely over his face as he ran at top speed through the damp and empty streets. It was too dark for there to be much traffic, but enough that he still had to be careful. His breathing was becoming shallower and constantly interrupted by flushed gasping.
*How could I have been so stupid???*
His eyes began to sting from being repeatedly hit by the raging wind, and being torn away at by the raindrops that tumbled from the sky. Finally, he reached a bridge and stared over the ledge, grieving loudly. The little droplets fell from his eyes and into the awaiting waters below, rippling beneath him.
*He never cared about me... I just imagined it the whole time...*
Images flashed through his mind; the first kiss, the sensation of Tai's hands upon his body, the day that he lost his virginity to the tormenting brunette. Didn't it mean anything to him?
"Taichi Kamiya..." he mumbled bitterly, "His name meant so much to me... I wonder if he could say the same for mine..."
He wiped the piercing tears off of his visage, and tried to regain sense of himself. "I was wasting my time..." he cried softly, "Every moment I ever spent with him... meant nothing..."
*Baka... He didn't care at all... The only thing that he wanted was my damn body...*
Yamato's azure eyes had filled once again with tears, though he tried to force them away abruptly.
*How could I have missed it for so long?? It's been almost two months, and I never even noticed...*
As he looked out at the river below that calmly drifted by, and suddenly the thoughts of remorse began to leave him. Instead, all his pain was channeled into one notion. He wanted to retaliate the only way that he knew how; revenge...
He limped along the dim streets of Odaiba, until suddenly the sound of a train could be heard throughout the air. Having nothing else to lose, Yamato sprinted endlessly, until he reached the mostly deserted subway station, and glanced around at the smoggy environment.
"Yamato?"
He spun around suddenly to see who had spoken his name. To his surprise, he saw the well-known face of Ken Ichijouji; former Digimon Kaizer.
Ken dropped his bags as his navy eyes sparkled alongside his bluish hair. "What are you doing here?" He asked, pulling strands of navy away from his face, "It's terribly late out..." He said politely, "Shouldn't you be at home...?"
"I could ask you the same thing..." Matt replied lifelessly. He was about to turn around and walk away, but his curiosities forbid him. "What are you doing all the way out here in Odaiba??" He asked.
"Miyako-San and the others invited me to stay with them for a while." He replied slowly, picking up his bags again and inspecting the rest of the city.
Yamato nodded in understanding while helping the smaller boy to collect some of his luggage.
"Matt?" Ken asked, still examining the alleys, "Would you happen to know which way it is to her house?? I've only been here a couple of times, and I'm not sure that I remember..."
"Yeah, sure..." Yamato said in a drained tone, "You walk along that route until~"
All of a sudden, his eyes widened from an unexpected idea while he started. "Ken..."
"Yes?" the boy asked, turning in his direction.
"It's a long way to get to the Inoue household, and my place is closer." Yamato continued, "How about you just come over to my house for tonight, and then tomorrow I'll show you how to find your way to Miyako's."
Ken glanced at him, then smiled. "Alright..." He said, "I guess I'll let you lead the way..."
"It'll be easier..." Matt said, taking bags, then whispered, "For me..." He then grabbed the rest of the stuff, and they began the long walk back to the Ishida residence.

And that's the first chapter. I hope that you liked it... I'll try coming out with the next one soon...
~Remember, sparky! Reviews are like presents! Nice to give away, but even better to receive!~
