Note: This is a YAOI fic. Please, if you don't like that kind of thing don't read. It's just my personal opinion. Um, this is very fluffy at the end. Being that I'm a very busy girl, I wrote this at 3 in the morning, which made my emotions predominate, and since I'm still pyschotically happy about my new boyfriend, it ended up being really mushy. Sorry!
Missie: Hey everyone! My buds, Taichi and Yamato asked
me to tell about how the first fell in love and how
they became a couple so I took my quill in hand and
wrote this biography as well as I could based on the
information they gave me.
Taichi: Yep, and we're very grateful to her, aren't we
Yama-chan?
Yamato: Yes, but DON'T CALL ME YAMA-CHAN!
Taichi: Why not? I think it sounds cute.
Yamato: That's exactly the point!
Missie: Ooooh, a lovers quarrel. I must say, it's nice
to write about you together. I was starting to get
tired of all those Sora-Taichi crosses out there.
Yamato: Whatever, like I would ever let Sora get next
to my Taichi. She can partner up with Jyou or
Koushiro. *Taichi whispers something in his ear.
Yamato chuckles* Oh, that's right, well...Sora can
find someone else to chase, then.
Taichi: You really do care about me then, don't you
Yamato?
Yamato: Of course Taichi, of course.
Missie: It's very important I put this in: Taichi and
Yamato don't belong to me, neither do any of their
friends.
Taichi: You know very well you can't own another
person in this day and age, why was that so important?
Missie: Erm...*looks as if she's trying to hide
something* No reason, no reason at all...
Yamato: *doesn't look convinced* Um Missie...
Missie: *rather hastily* Well, now that that's over
with, on with the fic!
To Endure and Endear:
Taichi and Yamato Confess
*Taichi*
I stared up at the night sky but failed to notice the
beauty of it all. The wind played a lullaby in the
trees but my mind blocked it out. I lay unfeeling. A
sigh escaped my lips and I propped my head up to see
my love, Yamato... Another sigh. The watching and the
caring does nothing but make me more forlorn.
Emptiness doesn't begin to describe how I feel.
He would never find out though. Yamato was an angel
sent from heaven. That golden hair and his shining
blue eyes. Those eyes that haunt my dreams and every
waking moment? Yes, those very eyes that hold that
scornful look whenever we argue. Oh, and the arguments
we have, thank Kami-sama for them because if we didn't
fight my feelings would be obvious in my eyes and he
would see them. Perhaps he already does.
Once again I looked down at his face. The firelight
played across his features. His cerulean eyes were
hidden by two heavy lids. His lips were slightly
parted and he breathed quietly, calmly into the cool
night. I reached over and pulled his sleeping bag to
cover his bare shoulders. He stirred in his sleep and
two words tumbled out of his mouth, "Thanks Tai." I
froze instantly and watched him. He turned to lay on
his side, facing me, and continued to sleep. I sighed
in relief.
I had been so worried at first. I thought he had woken
up and discovered my secret. No for the first time I
contemplated what he'd do if he ever found out. Would
he laugh or be angry at me? I didn't think I could
take either one. 'But what if,' that little voice in
my head asked, 'he feels the same way?' I grew angry
immediately. No! It wasn't going to happen. It's
wrong, I don't deserve him. He isn't like me. I pulled
a hand through my messy hair and looked around.
Everyone else was asleep.
Daybreak would soon be coming and I needed my rest. I
took one last look around the camp to make sure
everything was okay. Tomorrow we would travel some
more and I will have to throw on my care free smile
when I know my heart is in pain. As I closed my eyes
and settled down I whispered softly, "Sweet dreams,
Yamato, my love."
*Yamato*
"Sweet dreams, Yamato, my love." I jerked awake and
sat up. My eyes searched the camp for the one who had
spoken. No one was awake but I would have known that
voice anywhere. "Taichi." But no, he was lying asleep.
Was it all my imagination? Probably. It was my mind
torturing me with words that would never be spoken.
Especially not from those lips.
I closed my eyes for those lips were another painful
thought. Lips I yearned to capture with my own. Hah!
That's never going to happen. I started thinking about
his face then. That cocky grin I had come to love and
those deep brown soulful eyes. I smiled automatically.
Those eyes belong on a puppy dog. I tried to imagine what his face
would look like if I told him how I felt. Would those
eyes fill with disgust? With anger? Those are emotions
that don't belong on Tai. My Taichi. I loved his name,
gorgeous, wonderful.
I stole a look at him while he slept. His hair continued to stick out at all
angles. God, I would love to run my fingers through
his hair. I reached over to do so and pulled back just
in time. Baka, I think and mentally I slap myself. I
keep on watching him. He looks so serene and innocent
when he sleeps and so much younger than he actually
is. My eyes travel to his hair again and I hold back a
giggle. He even sleeps with his goggles on. Ohhhh,
that's just too adorable, but then again, everything
about him is adorable. Every part perfect in it's own
way.
That was the entire problem. He wasn't my Taichi. He
did not know about or return my love. Sighing, I stood
up realizing I would get any more sleep that night. It
didn't really matter as morning was fast approaching.
I got up and attempted to smooth to wrinkles from my
jeans. I noticed yesterday's catch of fish hanging
from a tree. I decided to make breakfast and smiled as
I thought of Tai grinning at me thankfully when I had
breakfast ready early. With that in mind I quickly got
to work.
*The Confrontation (Still in Yamato)*
I gently shook Tai awake. He blinked at me a few times
then stretched his arms above his head and yawned.
Finally he noticed the plate of food I was holding out
to him. Smiling he cooed, "Aww honey, you made me
breakfast in bed, you shouldn't have." My heart
stopped beating for a second then I regained my
composure and said with a grin, "Anything for you,
love." Tai laughed and for the first time, in what
seemed a long while, I felt happy.
Soon everyone had eaten and it was time to move on.
Tai was his usual annoying self, playing leader and
dragging his ever obedient troops wherever he wanted
on a whim. About halfway through the day, however, the
troops began to tire. Mimi was the first to voice her
complaints. Soon Jyou followed and finally Takeru. I
decided it was time to say something myself.
"Tai, maybe it's time we took a break."
He glared at me for a second before nodding his head
in consent.
"I'm going to scout around for a good campsite. You
guys stay here and relax," he said.
Geesh, where does this guy get all that energy? We've
been walking all day and he's not even winded. I fully
appreciate why he's the star of the soccer team, what
an athlete! Now would be a good time to talk to him.
Before I could chicken out I forced myself to go after
him. I got up wordlessly and went in the direction Tai
had gone.
It was times like this I wish I had Tai's crest. I
definitely did not feel very courageous right now. I
was nervous, no, terrified would be a better word to
describe it. I had just seen Tai. He was walking
around a small clearing. It was near a lake and no
doubt to be our campsite for the night. I came up
behind him and cleared me throat. He whirled around
and turned as white as a sheet.
"Tai, there's something I need to tell you," he looked
at me, half worriedly, half expectantly, "this may
shock you or freak you out but you need to know. Tai I
like you...no, it's more than that...I think I'm
falling for you. Please don't hate me."
*Tai*
I started at him in shock. Did he really mean it? The
look in Yamato's eyes was so vulnerable, something I
ad never seen in him before. It was too unbelievable.
Just like a dream. I was tempted to pinch myself, but
didn't. Suddenly my mind took over for my heart.
"I would never hate you but I just don't the same way.
Besides, it would never work out."
At the hurt look in his eyes my heart quarreled with
my mind as to whether or not to console him. As
before, my mind won. It cited the many reasons I had
not told him the truth. I shook my head sadly. Yamato
sighed quietly and started to walk away. Suddenly,
things began to go in slow motion. As I looked up I
noticed a sinister looking digimon nearly hidden from
Yamato's view. As I looked back at Yamato I realized
that he had no idea that the digimon was there. My
heart took over with the instinct to protect the one I
loved. I threw myself at him bodily, knocking him out
of the way. I felt a searing pain in my back and
realized that I had not come out unscathed. Then
everything went black.
*Yamato*
I watched in shock as Tai lay on the ground before me,
seemingly unconscious. A flash of
orange went by me and I realized Agumon had run to
Tai's side. Bright lights beside me told me that
Gabumon was digivolving. All these things went
unnoticed as I thought of Tai. He had sacrificed
himself...for me? But why? I should have noticed that
digimon. The Tai wouldn't be lying here.
I looked at Tai again. He was breathing shallowly.
Worried, I picked him up, my fear giving me adrenaline
for strength. Confident that Gabumon could take care
of the evil digimon, I carried Tai towards the edge of
the lake to bathe his wounds.
As soon as Gabumon came back I sent him to find the
others. Agumon was sitting, not looking at anything,
lost in his sorrow. It scared me to see Tai like this.
All his energy was gone. A tear slipped down my cheek.
I stayed with him. The others came back. Jyou and
Koushiro did their best to clean and bandage Tai's
wounds. The others were grief riddled but that was
nothing compared to what I was going through. I stayed
by his side. The loss of our leader left the rest of
us without cause or purpose.
*Narrator*
Everyone suffered in their own ways. Sora tried to
smile and tell everyone that it would be okay. Jyou
stopped worrying about everything and spent a lot of
time exploring the digiworld by himself. Mimi refused
to speak to anyone, even Palmon. Koushiro spent more
time on the computer than ever, sleeping little.
Takeru cried and cried and cried. Hikari endured it
bravely and completely believed her brother would snap
out of it soon. Yamato, well, he never moved or ate.
He fell asleep only when he couldn't fight it anymore
and berated himself when he woke up.
Jyou left to explore one day and didn't return that
night. Mimi snapped the next day and went out to find
him. Sora followed after her yelling about a team
needing to stick to together with Takeru and Hikari at
her heels. Izzy took one look at Tai, grabbed his
laptop, and followed the others. Only Yamato stayed.
Nothing could have driven him to leave Taichi alone.
*Taichi*
I could see nothing but black. Suddenly a glimmer of
light appeared. I walked towards it. It got larger and
larger and then it seemed to swallow me. I blinked
once...twice. I was awake!
Near me sat the body of Yamato. He was turned away so
he didn't realize that I had woken up. I sat up. the
movement must have made a noise because he swung
round, his eyes full of hope. I couldn't stand it
anymore. I pulled him close to me and hugged him,
whispering in his ear.
"Oh Yamato, I was so worried, I thought I would never
see you again."
He stared at me, shocked. The emotions must have been
evident in the way I acted and the things I said.
"Taichi?" It was clearly a question.
"Yamato I..."
"I don't understand."
I bit my lip. Yamato does have to look so adorable
when he's confused, doesn't he? If he keeps that up
much longer I won't be able to resist the urge to kiss
him. Kissing Yamato, what an enticing thought. NO! He
deserves to know the truth first, then he can decide
if I'm worth wasting emotion on. I should never have
lied to him in the first place.
"Oh Yamato, I'm so sorry, I lied to you."
"Why?"
"I was so scared. Scared that it wouldn't work out,
scared of what the others would say, scared of being
different. I'm sorry, please forgive me. I love you
Yamato!"
"Taichi...," he breathed, "do you mean that, you
really love me?"
"Yes Yamato, but it doesn't matter anymore. I don't
deserve you." I hung my head in shame.
Yamato gently lifted my chin with his finger and
peered into my eyes. "Oh Taichi, is that what you
think? Of course you deserve me. You deserve me more
than anyone else because you're the one I love, you're
the one I want to spend my life with."
"But I was so stupid, I lied to you."
"That's okay, everyone makes mistakes. I forgive you"
At his words I flung myself at him, catching his
shoulders in a hug. He smiled at me and did something
I never expected, he leaned down and caught me in a
kiss. Just a sweet, chaste kiss but full of love and
tenderness, unlike anything I had ever experienced
before. I looked at him with stars in my eyes.
"That was...," I started
"Amazing" he finished.
I grinned, "we should do that more often."
He grinned back, "that's percisely what I was
thinking," then he looked vunerable, "you won't let
anything come between us, will you Tai? Nothing anyone
else can say will split us, will it?"
"Of course not," I reassured, "we belong together,
nothing can come between us."
He kissed me again and I was determined to keep my
word. Nothing would ever seperate us...nothing.
Missie: So there you have it.
Yamato: Wow, that's pretty accurate.
Missie: Well, I got the information directly from you.
Taichi: Yeah, but I have a question: why don't you
continue the story?
Missie: I will, just not from your point of view.
Taichi: Then from who? *Yamato pokes Taichi and
whispers something in his ear.* Oh, I know, I won't
give any hints though.
Missie: Phew, that's a relief. *to Yamato* Is he
always this dense?
Taichi: Hey!
Yamato: Yeah, but I wouldn't have him any other way.
Missie: Okay. Well, that's all folks. See you next
installment.

Okay, that's all.
