Disclaimer - I wish Daisuke was hidden in my closet. I also wish I owned Digimon, or at least Daisuke and Taichi. Boy, would I have fun. ::grins::

A/N: Another fic from me... Another Taito AU. ^^ Though, it does contain slight Yamasuke. I got this idea by listening to Faith by George Michael. This fic won't be any longer than 7 or 8 chapters though. At least approximately... Not longer than 7-8 chapters.

Gotta Have Faith
Ch.1

When Yamato had first heard, he just blew it off. Something like that just couldn't be true. The first time someone said anything about it, Yamato had laughed like they had been insane for even thinking about something like that. For having the thought in the back of their mind. They had all given him sympathetic smiles, which confused him. It wasn't true so why dish out any sympathy at all? But, he never even thought about the possibility. Even after everyone's accusations.

Though, a little bit did change after that. Yamato started going out to a bar that he didn't usually frequent at. It was a little different. When the boy slid onto the stool next to him, Yamato did a double take. In the low lighting, he couldn't tell if his eyes were deceiving him. So, he reached out and grabbed the boy's shoulder.

"Dai," he said as the boy looked at him with wide eyes, surprised at Yamato's action. Seeing that this boy - actually more like god - had chocolate brown eyes and unruly brown hair; Yamato realized his mistake and let the boy's shoulder go, looking down sheepishly. "No, thought you were someone else."

He didn't see the brunet's smile though. "It's okay," he replied. "I'm Taichi." Yamato looked back up at Taichi and met his smile with wide eyes. Taichi's smile never slipped from his face though. "Are you waiting for someone?"

It took a few seconds for the question to click in Yamato's brain, but finally it did. "No," he said quickly. "I just needed to get out and away from everything and everyone." Taichi nodded.

"That's usually why I come here. You need to have fun every now and then." Yamato watched Taichi smile, and he just nodded. "I haven't seen you here before, though. First time?" Yamato nodded again, staring at his drink sitting in front of him. Taichi laughed. "It's not a bad thing, you know." Yamato just shrugged, which rendered another laugh out of Taichi.

~-~-~-~

After that encounter, Yamato was at that bar every night just to see if Taichi would show up. Most of the time he did, and sometimes he didn't. On the nights he didn't show, Yamato would go home and feel kind of empty. Just because Taichi was the only thing keeping Yamato sane. Sort of. But, when Taichi didn't show the blonde just went back the next night and there Taichi would be, almost as if the brunet was waiting for him to arrive.

Though, on this night something seemed different. Yamato couldn't put his finger on it though. When he sat next to the brunet, Taichi gave him a quick grin and even quicker eye contact before he went back to staring at his drink.

"What's up?" Yamato asked, sensing that something was wrong.

Taichi just shrugged. "Nothing much... I'm a little bored." Yamato gave him a knowing look that Taichi missed because the boy wasn't looking at him.

"You knew what I meant," the blonde accused. "Something's wrong... What?"

Yamato stared at Taichi for what felt like the longest time before the brunet finally sighed. "I didn't want to be the one to tell you, but since you don't seem to believe anyone else... They told me I should tell you."

Yamato didn't know what Taichi was talking about. He wasn't making any sense, what didn't Yamato know?

"I don't know why I even said I would though," Taichi continued. "You're only going to get upset at me."

"What?" Yamato managed to get out before Taichi could continue once more.

Taichi sighed and pushed his drink away from him. He stared at it though, for a long few seconds, contemplating what to say. Finally he looked at Yamato. "I know all your friends have been telling you Daisuke's screwing around on you. And, I know it's true because I know Daisuke... Well, I know him through Ken. Which is the guy he's cheating on you with." Taichi tried to say it as fast as he could, just so he could get it out before Yamato blew up.

The blonde just stared at Taichi though, dumbfounded. Finally Yamato shook himself out of his stupor and said, "What? How do you..."

"I talk to Ken all the time, and the Daisuke he's always talking about is the same Daisuke you talk about."

That wasn't what Yamato was looking for though. He shook his head. "How do you know my friends?" he asked, accusation in his eyes.

"I..." Taichi started, but then trailed off. He couldn't tell the blonde that. That he was friends with all of Yamato's friends. One of the main reasons why Yamato's friends sent him to the bar in the first place - Taichi had told them to. Taichi had seen Yamato before with the friends, and Taichi thought it might be fun to hook-up with him... Or just flirt and play little mind games... Have fun, you know. But, Taichi couldn't possibly tell Yamato that. Not now at least.

Yamato didn't say much after that, actually, he didn't say anything at all. He threw his money down on the counter, paying for the drink he hadn't even touched, and walked out of the bar.

~-~-~-~

Taichi waited at the bar every night for the next two weeks, waiting for the blonde he knew would never show. Then, that fateful night came, the night he almost didn't go to the bar, Yamato walked into the bar and placed himself on the stool next to Taichi. The brunet took a deep breath and turned to Yamato.
