NOTE: I am the terror that laughs in the night! I am the peanut butter to your jelly! I am Psycho Weasel!
My little intro for coming back. Yeah, pretty much it's been two years since I've written a fanfiction and now that I some what have time and inspiration I decided to come back with a story I've had cooking on the back burner for the longest time. This story is not only inspired from my new fandom of Digimon, but from a song written by Irving Berlin. It's called "Reaching for the Moon." I would post the lyrics up, but I'm not sure if that is allowed on so I strongly sudgest you look up the song on youtube or anyother way (the best and right version (on youtube at least)is sung by Lizz Wright).
Another thing is that I don't know much about Japanese life style. Yes, the characters have their original names but it's because I feel like it is more fun to write that way. I mixed the Japanese schooling with my own personal schooling style (Elemantary had students kindergarden to 6th grade, Jr. Highs had 7th graders to 9th graders, and High School had 10th graders to 12th graders attending (9th grade was still concidered High School...you were just stuck in the Jr. High for a year longer)). Hopefully, that made sense...or not...
EDIT: I realized I forgot to mention that this story is a little AU. But just a little...
WARNINGS: Swearing (more in the future) and slash. Slash? Yeah...don't like it? Don't read it.
DISCLAIMER: If I owned Digimon, Tai would still have his goggles and Tai and Matt would totally be a couple...obviously that didn't happen. Moral of the story: I don't own Digimon.
CHAPTER 1. Emotions...cheesy I know...
I know this place. It's nothing new or different at all. My only problem is that I have no idea where it is…but in the end does it really matter? Of course not. Just as long as in the end, everything stays exactly the same. I continued to walk forward, not looking any other way. A stranger suddenly blocks my path. I stop, a little startled from the sudden appearance.
"I-I thought you were gone," I stammered. The stranger smirked, then walked closer to me. I knew that at that point I should have turned and run, but I stayed still. Once close enough, they held my face in their hands. Their eyes hypnotized me to the point of that I would have to remind myself to breathe. I could feel their thumb rub lightly and gently against my cheek bone. I closed my eyes and sighed as I felt soft lips against my own.
At first, the kiss was light and simple, but in a matter of minutes, it started to become more passionate. A soft moan escaped me as I felt their tongue slip into my mouth. It brushed against my own tongue before retreating back. I opened my eyes and looked into those eyes that hypnotized me. I pulled them closer to me and kissed their jaw line and neck. I could feel them gently starting to unbutton my shirt. Cold hands were placed on my abs, ran up to my chest and to my shoulders. My shirt fell from my shoulder and the hands slid down once again to my abs and then to my back. Soft kisses were placed on to my neck and shoulders.
"Yamato," I moaned.

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
I slammed my hand against the snooze button of my alarm clock. No. Not right now you stupid alarm. I could hear Miko's little bell jingling around the kitchen area, where no doubt my mother was preparing breakfast for all of us. I lifted my head up, sniffed the air, then plopped my head back on to the pillow. Correction, burning breakfast for all of us. I rolled onto my back and noticed that I felt a little wet…and sticky.
"Oh geez, you've got to be kidding me," I groaned groggily to myself. Another wet dream, hosted by my best friend Yamato Ishida. Most fourteen year old boys my age would have a dream like this involving a girl. Not me. I had to be turned on by him, of all people. I closed my eyes again and started thinking about my dream.
This wasn't the first time I've had this sort of dream. The location and the way we both meet up usually changes, but it always follows the same pattern: I'm trying to get somewhere, I meet up with Yamato, we start kissing, the end. I can't really say when they started, but I do know that every time the dream comes, things get more and more intense. This time, Yamato had completely taken my shirt off and started kissing me. I smiled to myself and rubbed my neck. How I wish that it could happen for real.
"Taichi," I could feel someone gently shaking my shoulder. "Sweetheart, it's time to get up. You don't want to be late for school now do you?"
"Mom," I groaned. "Can't I have five more minutes? I didn't sleep well last night."
"You were up late again studying weren't you?" she sighed. "Well, you are going to have to deal with the consequence now. Get up, son. You don't want to make yourself and Yamato late." I heard her leave the room afterward. My heart had skipped a beat. That's right, Yamato and I always walk to school together. Thanks to him in my cameo appearance in my dream, things are probably going to be a little awkward today…Shit, what am I supposed to do now?

"Hey Yamato!" Yamato looked up at me with his soft blue eyes. Just one look from those gorgeous eyes and I already feel lighter than air…damn, this might be harder than I thought.
"Wow, it's a miracle," he teased. "Taichi is actually on-time for once in his life."
"Take that back Ishida," I punched him playfully on the arm. "I've been on time to lots of things in my life!...just not when it comes to school work and such."
"Don't worry, I've noticed." He smiled at me and I could feel my heart jump a little. I smiled back, trying not to be too obvious about anything different, and just started to walk. As we walked in silence, I couldn't help but wish that I could be closer to him. Just enough so that we were holding hands or at least having our arms touch. He yawned suddenly. "Oh geez, I'm tired…guess what I had a dream about last night." Me?
"What?"
"I had a dream that Diaboramon came back to existence and tried to destroy us," He laughed. "Only this time, Omnimon wasn't even strong enough to defeat him." I laughed as well.
"No way, dude. Omnimon totally kicked his ass! Nothing will bring that freaky virus back from its grave."
"Except maybe Mimi…"
"Huh?"
"Nothing."
"Uh-huh…sure." I could feel the mood change as we walked the rest of the way to school in silence. It wasn't the same cheerful mood we had earlier and so I would glance over at Yamato's direction to see his expression. Even though he was looking at the ground, I could tell that his face looked serious…and almost like he was afraid. The longing of being next to him, being able to touch him, felt like it was about to explode from inside me. I'll admit that Yamato was a pretty serious stick in the mud during our adventure in the Digital World, but since then he's been completely different. He seemed so happy and satisfied, and now seeing him like this again…I guess I wasn't used to it anymore. Once the school started to come into view, I decided to speak up. "Yamato is everything ok?" No reply. "Yama?" He looked up at me.
"Huh? Did you say something Taichi?" he asked innocently. At that moment, his fingers brushed against mine. I caught his ring finger and pinky, squeezed them gently. Excitement and satisfaction filled my chest before I quickly let his fingers go. He stopped and looked at me with a surprised look. Way to go Taichi…and you were doing such a good job of not letting your feelings get to you. His surprised looked turned into playful anger. "Hey you bum! Don't hold my hand!" He punched me playfully on the side.
"I did not hold your hand," I laughed. Whew! What a relief.
"Yes you did! And I totally did not give you permission or anything."
"Well you might not have given me permission, but your fingers sure did."
"Whatever!" We were both laughing at the "silly" situation that had just happened. I grinned at him and he smiled back. His face turned serious afterwards and so did mine.
"Yamato?" I asked concerned. "Seriously, what's wrong? I'm your best friend. If you have a problem just tell me and I'll try to help." His eyes were clouded with emotions. I couldn't tell if he was sad, or angry, or happy, or anything. It scared me a little…
"I…I think we need to talk, Taichi," he didn't seem too confident when he said it. I felt like I had a huge knot in my stomach. "I-it has to do with…us." Uh-oh. It's getting personal, and I didn't have a good feeling about it. I place my right arm over his shoulders.
Ignoring the excitement I felt by touching him this way, I said to him, "Whatever it is, Yamato, tell me. I won't judge you or hate you or anything thing. No matter how serious it is." To my surprise, and frustration, he chuckled. "What's so funny? Yamato, I'm being serious! You're my best friend and you always will be." Even though I wish we could be more than that. We stared at each other for a moment.
"Taichi—"
"YAMATO!" We both looked toward the voice that had called out his name. Oh, it's just Mimi. She was closer to our Jr. High's entrance, but once she saw us, she came running towards us. Great, she just ruined this for us. I looked back at Yamato and was surprised to see fear painted on to his face. He slipped my arm off of him and started to back up.
"I-I've gotta go," his voice was a little tense. I tried to make light of the situation.
"Oh, come one Yamato. Mimi is not that ugly." I reached out to grab his shoulder, but he dodged it. Guess that didn't work.
"I've really got to go Taichi! Listen, we'll talk later I promise. I just—" Mimi was just a few feet away from us. "I gotta go." And with that he spun around and ran towards the side entrance of the school. I was confused to why he had left all the sudden, and upset with Mimi for making him run away.
"Yamato!" Mimi panted once she reached up to me. "Ugh, why did you boys have to be so full of testosterone?" I stared at her in complete shock. That was unexpected coming from her mouth.
"Mimi, have I ever told you that you never fail to amaze me?" I said honestly to her. She grinned at me.
"I try," she chirped to me. Then she continued more seriously, "Do you know where Yamato ran off to? I need to talk to him and it's kind of important."
"Beats me. I tried to assure him that you really weren't that ugly."
"Taichi! You're such a jerk!" She stuck her tongue out at me. I smirked at her and held up my hands defensively. Mimi turned her direction toward the way Yamato had run off to and I did as well. We both stood there for a moment in silence. "Do you know who Yamato likes?"
"Huh?" I was not prepared for that at all.
"I'm just curious," she replied innocently.
"…no. I don't…" Pause. "Do you Mimi?" She looked at me and smiled slyly.
"Who wants to know?"
"Mimi…"
"Oh Taichi, don't get your panties in a wad! I honestly have no clue who Yamato likes." Good. Because I don't want to know. "But…I can say that whoever he does like has to be the luckiest person on the planet."
Not if I find out. I growled in my head. I sighed. Oh brother, what am I thinking? Yamato can love whoever he wants, even though it may kill you…just as long as he's happy…
"You better get to class," said Mimi. "Or else you'll get in trouble again."
"Hey, who's the High School freshman here?" I playfully argued. "You or me?"
"Well, I may be in the 8th grade, but I sure am more mature than you are Yagami!" She giggled then ran off toward the entrance of the school.
"I'll remember that for next time Mimi!" I called after her. I started walking after her, stopped, then decided to go the direction Yamato had disappeared off to. Where did that question about who
Yamato likes came from any ways? I stopped walking as a realization occurred to me. "…I don't know who Yamato likes…"
I would greatly appreciate some reviews. Do you hate it so far? Do you love it? Are there any out-of-characterness I need to be aware of? Anything is helpful. But if you want to bash/flame Taito/Yamachi, I will not accept it and just use the flames to roast weenies.
