Well, Valentines' Day is tomorrow so I thought I'd write something for Digimon and Taito and thus this fic was born :) Characters may be OOC since I didn't watch Season 2, so I hope you don't mind that canon's kind of twisted. But it was fun to write :) so...Enjoy :) My writing style's slightly different but I guess I wanted to try something new.
Oh and for those who're unaware, in Japan, it's usually the girls who give chocolate to the guys - the guys are supposed to return the gift on White Day (March 14th).

Suffixes:

-san: Used to address someone older than you, in respect

-kun: Used in respect, can be used to address someone younger or the same age. Usually used for boys but can be used for girls too

Onii-san: Big brother (informal)

Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon.


"Yamato-kun!"

Yamato blinked as a hand clapped on his shoulder. He turned to see Mimi smiling at him. "Yeah?"

"We have something to talk to you about!" Mimi said cheerfully, and Yamato then noticed she was flanked by Sora and Hikari. She winked, "Sorry Taichi, can we borrow Yamato for a while?"

"S-Sure." Taichi said, surprised. The girls continued staring at him and he blinked, getting up from his seat. He smiled at Yamato, "Well, call me when you're done."

Yamato watched as Taichi walked away towards where the other boys were gathered at another table in the cafe. He turned back to the girls, who he was now sure were smiling sly smiles which made him feel a foreboding sense of apprehension. "What…?"

"Yamato-kun," Mimi sing-songed as she plopped down on the seat Taichi had left. She was grinning widely at him, and he resisted the urge to back away a little as her almond eyes shone with an eager light, "Do you know what day tomorrow is?"

"Tuesday?"

Mimi pouted at him, "Of course it's Tuesday!" She told him, crossing her arms, "But it's also a very special day!"

"Uh…" Yamato said, unsure. He turned to Sora, who smiled at him in amusement.

"It's Valentines' Day, Yamato."

"Oh." Yamato blinked. The girls stared at him and he blinked again. "So?"

"So?" Mimi frowned, not looking too happy at him, "Aren't you going to give Taichi anything?"

Yamato hadn't thought of that, actually. The blond flushed slightly, looking away, "Well, it's not as if we need to give each other anything," he brushed off, "I mean, we're already in a relationship, so it's not as if I'm confessing to him or anything…" he trailed off, face red.

"Yamato-san," he knew Hikari was smiling, "You want to give my brother something for Valentines' Day, don't you?"

Yamato felt his face involuntarily heat up. He sighed and turned his reluctant attention back to the three girls, "Maybe."

"So cute!" Yamato winced as Mimi squealed for a reason he didn't want to know, and watched warily as she leaned forward towards him, "We have the perfect solution for you, Yamato-kun!"

Yamato smiled sheepishly, twitching inwardly. "Right…thanks but I don't think I really want to know…"

"Don't scare him, Mimi-chan." Sora's voice was filled with wry amusement and she was grinning as she turned to him, "It's not that bad really, Yamato-kun!"

Sora was grinning, grinning without reserve- it was definitely bad; Yamato decided. He also decided he wanted no part in the girls' plan but didn't get to voice his opinion as they shared a knowing glance and then turned their attention back to him, leaning forward in synchronized feminineness with identical smiles on their faces and causing him to suddenly feel very uncomfortable and very, very, afraid.

Yamato decided now was a very good time to retreat, and wondered why he hadn't done so before. The blond stood up abruptly, causing Hikari, Sora and Mimi to blink. He waved his hands, offering them a sheepish smile, nervousness on his features.

"W-Well, I'm just gonna leave now, I think Taichi's calling me," Yamato spoke quickly, as he shifted his gaze to Taichi who was in conversation with the boys. He winced as he felt the girls' stares on him, feeling his smile twitch, "See you later!"

"Not so fast!" Mimi shot out to grab his wrist in a surprisingly tight grip and Yamato reluctantly turned back to her, feeling the sense of dread deepen as Mimi grinned widely at him, a sly look in her eyes, "Taichi isn't even looking at you! Don't try to run away Yamato-kun!"

"Don't worry, we won't bite." Sora said jokingly but the look in her eyes told him otherwise.

Hikari smiled cheerfully at him, but she had the same devious look in her eyes, "We were just wondering if you wanted to bake with us!"

"Bake…?" Yamato asked warily.

"Well, we're making chocolates actually, Hikari-chan's just ambitious!" Mimi said and Hikari giggled slightly. Yamato stared at her. "You know, for our boyfriends for Valentines' Day?"

"And you want me to join in." Yamato said, the dreadful realization hitting him. Resisting the urge to twitch, he turned to Sora, who just smiled at him brightly. "Sora, you're doing this too?"

"Why not?" Sora shrugged. "I've never tried it before."

"Soooo Yamato-kun," Mimi drawled as Yamato stared at Sora in disbelief. That sly smile was on her features again, "You'll be joining us, right?"

"But I can't bake- or make chocolate – whatever!" Yamato defended himself, not liking the way Mimi was looking at him at all- it was the same look she gave him when she wanted a shopping buddy, and Yamato was not at all willing to experience any horror similar to that. No way. "I'm practically useless at that stuff!" Mimi frowned at him disapprovingly and Yamato's eyebrow twitched, "Can't I just buy chocolate for Tai-mph?!"

"Shhhh, not so loud!" Mimi hissed at him, her hand over his mouth. "It's supposed to be a secret! The guys aren't supposed to know!"

"I'm a guy too, you know." Yamato thought bitterly, but he nodded. He sighed as Mimi removed her hand, "How did I even get into this situation in the first place?!"

"It's going to be a surprise!" Hikari agreed happily, her eyes shining.

"That's right!" Sora was in tandem with Hikari, her smile wide and cheerful. She winked, "It's a secret amongst girls."

As Yamato stared, then sighed and resigned himself to his unfortunate fate with the girls, Taichi was looking over at him. The brunette frowned slightly, then turned back to the boys who were sitting at the table with him. "Hey, what do you think they're talking to Yamato about?"

"Beats me." Jyou shrugged helplessly.

Koushiro glanced at the group of girls with the blond, then returned his attention to his group, "Tomorrow's Valentines' Day, isn't it?" He asked. "Maybe they're planning something for tomorrow?"

"Probably," Takeru said. He sighed, a hand to the rim of his hat, "Hikari won't tell me anything!"

"Neither will Mimi." Jyou said sadly. He sighed along with Takeru.

"Sora's been unusually secretive too," Koushiro mumbled. He looked up at Taichi curiously, "Do you think Yamato-san will tell you, Taichi?"

Taichi looked over his shoulder at Yamato, then turned his gaze back to the front. "To be honest? No." He smiled wryly. "Yamato's good at keeping secrets. I can still try my luck though!"

"Well," Jyou said, looking over, "It looks like the girls have finished their conversation with Yamato."

Seeing Yamato walk over, Taichi shot up from his seat, bounding off to his boyfriend with a wide smile, "Yama! What were you talking about with the girls?"

The brunette blinked when Yamato flushed, averting his gaze slightly. "Nothing, really." He said in as casual a tone as he could manage.

"Anything about me?"

"N-Nope." Yamato cleared his throat succintly. "Not at all."

"Awww," Taichi pouted at Yamato, widening his brown eyes and blinking at the flustered blond, "Why are you keeping it a secret from me, Yama? Am I not allowed to know?"

Taichi watched as Yamato blushed, moving his blue eyes to meet his brown ones, "I'm not hiding anything, Taichi," he said, though his voice betrayed his nervousness. "Why would you think that?"

Taichi had always been able to tell when Yamato was lying, but he let it slide with a smile. "Well alright then. I'll find out eventually anyway!"

"Yamato-kun!" Mimi came up to them. She placed her hands behind her back, smiling sweetly, "Sorry Taichi! But I need to speak to Yamato for a while okay?"

"Again?!" Taichi said in mock exasperation.

"Sorry!" Mimi winked at him cutely. She turned, calling out, "Sora, Hikari! Come over here for a second!"

Taichi stared as Sora and Hikari left Koushiro and Takeru to join Mimi and Yamato. He sighed, then walked away to join the three boys who had gotten up from their seats.

"No good." Taichi shook his head when Jyou, Koushiro and Takeru looked at him expectantly. He frowned, crossing his arms, "He won't tell me anything!"

"I asked Mimi and she just winked at me and said it was a secret." Jyou joined in with an unhappy sigh.

"Sora said she couldn't betray her friends." Koushiro added.

"Well, Hikari said we'd know tomorrow," Takeru seemed to be resigned to his girlfriend's secretiveness. He smiled wryly, "So I guess we'll have to wait until tomorrow."

Taichi pouted. "I don't understand why Yamato won't tell me!" He complained to his friends, "Aren't I his boyfriend?!"

"That's what we're asking ourselves too, Taichi." Jyou said dryly. He sighed. "Mimi seems determined to keep it a secret from me!"

"So is Sora," Koushiro sighed, black eyes contemplative, "Well, I think they've all been influenced by Mimi-san."

Takeru nodded in agreement as Taichi groaned, "Even Yamato?"

"Even Yamato." Koushiro, Takeru and Jyou said in unison, looks of sympathy for Taichi on their faces.

Taichi blanched. He moaned, turning away from his sympatheitc kindred spirits, muttering under his breath.

"This better be worth it…"


"Yamato!"

"Taichi!" Yamato shouted. He winced when Mimi and Hikari pulled him away. "Sorry, I'll see you later alright?"

"But what about our date?!" Taichi demanded as he stepped forward after Yamato.

"I'll call you later!" Yamato yelled over his shoulder as he was forcefully dragged away from Taichi, who was standing outside the school gates. He bit his lip. "I can't exactly get out now!"

"Wait, Yamato-" Taichi stopped in his tracks when Mimi, Hikari and Sora looked back at him as they held Yamato hostage.

Girls were scary on Valentines' Day – Taichi decided then, and suddenly felt glad he had a boyfriend and not a girlfriend, even if his boyfriend was currently being dragged away by the girlfriends of his friends.

Yes- he was definitely fortunate to have Yamato as his boyfriend instead of a girlfriend- Taichi thought with a wince as Mimi shot him a warning glare over her shoulder when he tried to follow them and Yamato threw him an apologetic look. Hikari smiled at him as she held Yamato's other arm in a vice like grip and Sora gave him a playful, devilish looking grin.

Taichi sighed. Great, his childhood friend and his sister were in cahoots with Mimi and were taking Yamato away from him! On Valentines' Day no less!

"I know how you feel," he heard Koushiro's voice, "But well, since they've gone to so much trouble we might as well wait and see what they're planning to give us."

"That's true," Jyou agreed with a nod. He had come to stand beside Koushiro. "Do you think they're going shopping together, maybe?"

"Poor Onii-san." Takeru said, sympathy and amusement in his voice. "Let's hope Mimi-san and the girls aren't taking him shopping."

"But it's not fair!" Taichi didn't succeed entirely in refraining from whining, "It's Valentines' Day and I can't even spend it with Yamato?!"

"But you guys have a date later." Koushiro pointed out.

"Yeah but I wanted to spend the whole of Valentines' Day with him!" Taichi pouted, mumbling unhappily, "Now we'll only have the evening to ourselves…!"

"And the night." Takeru attempted to help.

"Well, if it reassures you, Taichi, we're all kind of in the same boat here," Jyou said. Everyone turned to look at him and he sweatdropped. "Aren't we? I mean, our girlfriends- and well, boyfriend are doing something together which they refuse to tell us and so we can't spend the whole day with them as we would like."

"Misery loves company." Koushiro commented with a wry smile.

Taichi sighed and placed his hands behind his head, deciding to give in temporarily. It wasn't as if there was anything else he could do, now that the girls had taken Yamato away from him. "Well, wanna do something then?" He suggested mildly as they stood outside the school gates. "We could go to the arcade or something while the girls are busy."

"The arcade sounds good." Takeru agreed, smiling.

"I haven't been to there in quite a while." Koushiro revealed. He blinked when Jyou, Taichi and Takeru looked at him, and said somewhat sheepishly, "Why are you looking at me like that? I have gone to the arcade, you know."

The boys exchanged amused looks and Jyou said, "Haven't we, Koushiro?" He grinned, "It's good to take a breather sometimes."

"Well, this is a surprise!" Taichi said with an accepting grin, feeling refreshed. He winked, pumping a fist into the air. "Right, off to the arcade then! I'm gonna beat you guys flat!"

"You won't beat me in the basketball game!" Takeru challenged with a cheeky grin as they walked off.

"Oh yeah? We'll see about that!" Taichi countered, grinning.

"I must say I'm quite proficient in the shooting games," Koushiro confessed modestly, but he was grinning playfully as well, "I've developed quite a good aim."

"I prefer the racing games!" Jyou said excitedly. "They can be quite thrilling." His smile turned sheepish, "Though Mimi's surprisingly good at them as well. It's really fun to play them with her."

"Sora's practically a sharp shooter!" Koushiro said, what sounded like pride in his voice, "She has a really sharp eye. She's a great partner."

"Hikari's not a bad shooter herself- in Basketball I mean," Takeru winked, "She has potential, and she can dance too."

"Really? What a coincidence, Yamato's mastered the DDR machine!" Taichi said with a wide grin, "He loves dancing, and I can never beat him! In fact, I was planning to take him to the arcade on our date today!"

"How romantic." Takeru teased and Taichi laughed good naturedly. He grinned abashedly. "Though I can't say I haven't been thinking the same for Hikari."

"I was thinking Sora would probably want to have fun on Valentines' Day as well…" Koushiro said contemplatively.

"I wanted to see Mimi having fun." Jyou confessed shortly. He sighed. "Though, I suppose that plan's gone now…"

"Yeah." Koushiro agreed disappointedly.

The four boys looked at each other, and in a rare moment of unity in thought, released collective, heavy sighs.

"Girls…"
