Intro: I took a break from writing Legend of the Digital Wars, need to figure out what'll happen next, ya know. This story is Yaoi, by the way. If you're offended by things like that, obviously, don't read it! You can't say I didn't warn you. It's also going to be pretty short. Anyways, to tell the truth, I hated Sorato with a passion. Slowly, I got more into it. Then lo and behold, all this controversy with Sorato in the show. That's where I got the idea for this fic. THIS IS JUST MY IMAGINATION!!!!!! The couple isn't official. On with the fic! Oh yeah, the disclaimer. I'm sure we all know I don't own Digimon right?
Triangles Can Be Lines
Chapter 1: Best Friends
Taichi and Sora had been best friends since they had met in third grade. They had been through a lot together, including saving the world, and they were still best friends after eight years. So when Sora told Taichi that she had a crush on Yamato Ishida, another of their close circle, and a very good friend, Taichi was extremely happy for her. He encouraged her to tell him about her feelings, and with the help of his courage, she did. Yamato was surprised, even somewhat dismayed, when she asked him out. Of course he accepted, but something seemed to be bothering him. Sora asked him several times if wasn't happy, but he denied it every time. Everything seemed to be going fine. Then was the day that Sora invited all the children to a party at her house. Her mom would be out, working in the flower shop. Everything was perfect! Fresh flowers, food, music, all her close friends, and her new boyfriend. What could go wrong?
Yamato had arrived early to help cook. Slowly all the guests arrived, noting the dreamy smile on Sora's face, and the cool expression on Yamato's. Chatting happily about their latest victory in the Digital World, everyone settled down. The new children had even brought along their digimon. They were eating everything in sight.
"Mmmmmmmmm, great as usual, Oniichan," said Takeru, grinning.
Yamato grunted slightly. He had been in a bad mood lately.
"Um, Oniichan, is something wrong?"
"No, no, everything's fine," said Yamato, sighing.
Takeru gave him an amused glance. "Moping about Sora-san?"
"No."
A little shocked at the response, Takeru backed off a little.

After they ate and danced a little, Miyako suggested, "How about a game of Truth of Dare?"
Yamato groaned inwardly as everyone agreed. They would probably make him french Sora or something like that. It wasn't that he didn't like Sora. She was one of his best friends in the whole world, but he had never thought of her in that way. In fact, he was in love with someone else. But telling that person was just plain crazy. They would freak. So would everyone in the room. On the road to death, thought Yamato glumly as they sat in a circle on the ground. He was sitting next to Jou and Taichi. He fidgeted the whole time, and gave Taichi a glare of death when he asked, "What are you fidgeting for? Nervous about kissing Sora?"
Mimi was sitting next to Jou. "Jou, I dare you to…kiss me!"
Mimi and Jou were girlfriend and boyfriend. Who would have thought, thought Yamato. Great, I'm next. Maybe Jou'll go easy on me. Please!
Jou and Mimi broke off their kiss. Mimi was smiling brightly, but Jou had turned slightly red. Well, since Mimi hadn't made him do anything very embarrassing, I'll repay her by taking it easy on Yamato. "Yamato, kiss the person you love!" he declared, positive he would kiss Sora.
Mentally, Yamato groaned. Just what he had thought. Well, let's do this. He started to get up, but his eyes widened as his muscles stayed frozen. Everyone held their breath at his hesitation. Sora looked at him confidently, smiling. You can do it, Yamato-kun, was the message in her eyes. Yamato couldn't even say anything as his body suddenly pivoted toward his left, toward Taichi. No! They'll all know! No!!!!!!!!!!! But his body was beyond his control. Taichi looked shocked and everyone gasped as Yamato placed his hands on Taichi's shoulders and kissed him deeply. Absolute silence reigned for five seconds, before Yamato regained control of his muscles and broke the kiss. Taichi's eyes were as wide as saucers as he blinked several times. Yamato was about to dash out of the room when he heard a strangled sob from Sora. Oh no.
"Sora!" he shouted, feeling very cold and scared.
She looked at him with accusing eyes. "How could you? How could you? If you loved someone else, you should have told me! But how could you? He's your best friend! Why?" she sobbed. "I thought you loved me! I thought you would kiss the one you loved, me. But I guess you love him?! She shot a teary glare at Taichi. Then she bolted for the door.
Taichi recovered from his shock to yell after her, "Sora! Wait!"
He ran after her, catching her just before she reached the door. He grabbed hold of her shoulder, but she wrenched out of his grasp. "Well, Taichi, I bet you knew about this!! You just wanted to ruin this for me! I thought you were my best friend! But I guess not," she hissed. "I hate you! I HATE YOU! I hate you Taichi Yagami!" Sobbing, she ran out of the door while Taichi stood frozen.
Yamato guiltily raised his eyes to the other kids. They were all wide-eyed and voiceless. Oh why? Why am I such an idiot? He thought despairingly. There was a thunk as Taichi suddenly slumped to the ground.
"This is all my fault!" he cried. He slowly got to his feet, and Yamato could not help but help him. But Taichi slowly shook his head. "I have…I have to leave."
Yamato watched wordlessly as Taichi took off through the door as fast as Sora had. His world was cracking like a giant mirror before him. They all hate me now.
"Wow," said Takeru. "Was this what was bothering you, Oniichan?"
Yamato slumped into a chair.
