Chapter I

It was the average spring day in Odaiba, warm with a slight breeze and sunny; however, things weren't so sunny with a certain soccer star. Taichi Yagami, the captain of his high school soccer team and the envy of all jocks, stood with a troubled look on his face on his way to school. His trouble to him was obvious; it was love a love which couldn't be approached even for the bearer of the Crest of Courage.

Taichi continued his long trek to Odaiba High then bumped into the keeper of all of his affections, a younger burgundy haired boy wearing a pair of goggles about his spiky un-kept hair. This was Daisuke Motomiya his near mirror image and fellow digi-destined child of courage.

"Arigato, Taichi-senpai. I wasn't looking and…" A blush crept on the younger teens face.

"Don't worry about it Dai, look you can walk to school with me the rest of the way." Taichi looked at how his kohai turned a tad bit pink in embarrassment 'He's so cute that way, too bad I can't tell him how I truly feel or else he'd hate me forever.' He then frowned a little.

"Senpai, is something wrong?", Daisuke looked up at Taichi his eyes showing pure care.

"No, Dai-kun it's nothing. Let's get to school." The older boy flashed his trademark grin to show nothing was wrong and they continued their way to school.

Once the two boys reached the high school, the two boys prepared to go their separate ways.

"Taichi-senpai, could you perhaps later on after school well if you're not busy help me with some extra soccer practice. We have this big game coming up and…"

"Sure Dai-kun, I'll be more than happy to practice with you. Maybe some of my skill will rub off on you." Taichi laughed; honestly he liked it because it was a chance to spend some extra time with the one he wanted so badly. This worried him a little also. "I'll meet you at the soccer field later Dai." Tai said and then hurried off to class.

Tai sat in English class the entire time unfocused, he didn't really care what the teacher had to say about whatever book they were supposed to be reading or the assignment that they had due in two weeks on it.

'I can't seem to get Dai out of my head, I won't feel totally right until I tell him how I feel. But I can't it's far too risky.'

A piece of balled up paper hit Tai in the back of his mop of hair, he then picked it up irritated and wondering who threw it at him. He then noticed that it was a note. It read:

What the hell is bothering you Tai? You keep this up and you're going to be in here another year. And this time you'll have to suffer through English without me. Seriously though, tell me what's up, you're spaced out.

~ Yamato

Tai just looked back at his blonde haired friend and smiled. It was a silly grin as if nothing was really wrong, when in actuality it was more than apparent. Yamato on the other hand, knew his friend perfectly well and his gaze stayed the same. A piece of paper then hit Tai directly in his face. Tai looked shocked then looked at what it had to say.

Don't think you're getting off that easy Yagami, you're going to tell me what has you so bent up and out of shape at lunch today. I'm your best friend remember I can tell when something is wrong.

Tai just nodded and blushed a bit hurrying back to advert his attention on the teacher at the front of the class so that he wouldn't get in trouble. He then sighed.

'Lunch isn't that far away, how in the hell am I going to explain what's going on to him. Well he is Yama, I tell him everything I don't see why this is any different.'

Class continued and Taichi was thinking so hard that he didn't notice when the bell rung ending the class, Yamato walked up to him and tapped him on the shoulder.

" Tai, what's up? The bell rang 3 minutes ago. You're going to be late for your favorite subject…lunch." Yamato looked worried.

"It's nothing really, well I'll tell you at lunch. It'd be easier. I can't talk on an empty stomach ya know." Taichi smiled at the blonde kid.

"Yeah that's typical Taichi, always thinking with his stomach." Yamato laughed.

I combined what I originally intended to be two chapters. Please review.
