Disclaimer: Digimon and all characters don't belong to me. Too bad, if I owned it the horrible 2nd season ending wouldn't exist.
I'm so thankful for all of the reviews. It keeps me motivated to write more!
Chapter II
The two boys made their way to the cafeteria for lunch, instead of sitting with the other digi-destined, they sat to a table by themselves. Taichi then remembered that Daisuke had this lunch as well. 'If Daisuke sees me he's going to want to come over and talk to me, of course I'd love that but then I can't tell Yamato what's going on.' He once again looked concerned.
"Tai, okay now you can't hide it any longer. You have to tell me what's going on one way or another." Yamato urged.
Taichi just sighed before beginning, rubbing his hand through his brown mess of hair while doing so.
"Well Yamato, promise that no matter what I say you wouldn't stop our friendship. Okay?" Taichi paused a little worried.
Yamato glanced at his best friend before laughing right there much to Taichi's surprise.
" Tai, you've been my friend for years, we've done everything including save the world I think I can handle anything that you'd say and you would remain my friend no matter what." the blonde replied.
"Whatever you say Yama, alright I'll tell you just what it is." Taichi sighed. "It's concerning myself and Daisuke."
Yamato looked a bit puzzled before smiling a bit. "You like him don't you Tai, I mean you two are around one another just as much as we are."
Taichi's mouth flew open in pure shock "How…how would you know that Yama?!" He had to insure that he didn't speak loud enough for everyone in the cafeteria to hear.
Yamato only chuckled a little at the sight of his friend, "I'm your best friend right, and therefore I know everything about you. You thought you could hide something from me Yagami?"
Taichi smiled for a second at Yamato then turned serious with his voice lowering, "More like trying to hide it from everyone."
By this time a burgundy haired goggle-head could be seen across the room talking loudly to Yamato's younger brother Takeru. This didn't last long though as he immediately took note of where Taichi and Yamato were and pointed them out to the younger blonde haired teen.
'Oh isn't this just great, he's found where me and Yamato are…now I have to try act like none of this talking ever happened.' Taichi thought.
Daisuke and Takeru made short work of making their way towards the table where the two older teens sat. As expected Daisuke made his way directly beside Taichi almost too close grinning in his face. This made Tai especially nervous. Takeru just managed to sit with his older brother laughing at the sight of Daisuke and Taichi.
"So Taichi-senpai are we still going to practice after school?" Daisuke asked enthusiastically.
Taichi still a tad nervous after spilling his feelings basically to his best friend and now the object of his affections being right here beside them both in public stated, "Sure Daisuke, I haven't forgotten. You'll need the extra practice ya know."
Daisuke, noticing that Taichi's tone wasn't his usual cheerful one and that he for once said his full name instead of his nickname began to question the events of the afternoon a little. "Taichi-senpai, if you're not up to it or you're too busy. I know I'm nagging sometimes, just tell me. I don't want to stop you from doing your plans."
Taichi realizing what he had done fixed the situation quickly. He flashed a quick grin and ruffled the younger boy's hair. Daisuke blushed a little as he did this.
"Do you think I'll pass up on a chance to completely kick your ass in soccer. Like I said this morning, I'm going to teach you a thing or two to use in the game." Taichi beamed.
The two blondes sitting across the table couldn't help but break down in laughter at this display. Yamato hushed up quickly being he knew more was going on that his younger brother thought so he forced a hand to Takeru's mouth as well, simply smiling to the two goggle-heads on the other side.
"What's so funny TM?!", Daisuke protested.
"Nothing…nothing Daisuke, and for the last time you know my name. You and Taichi, you two are just so kawaii sometimes…better be glad Mimi isn't around or else she'd try to make something of it. , Takeru grinned.
"And what's that supposed to mean TJ?!", Daisuke looked a bit frustrated. "This is how me and Taichi-senpai always act around each other."
"I'm just saying that it's cute, that's all Daisuke. You can take it for what you want it to mean." TK replied softly.
Daisuke frowned a bit and thought to himself. 'Maybe me and Taichi-senpai are a bit too close, but really is there anything wrong with that.'
Yamato decided to ease the tension a bit, he casually smiled at all of them and said, " You should leave Daisuke and Taichi be Takeru, they're the best of friends much like Tai and myself are. It's only natural that they act the way that they do. Friends are always very close to one another."
Tai blushed at the comment once it was said, considering that he knew more than the others, with of course the exception of Yamato, about how he felt about Daisuke. TK only casually smiled and let the matter drop. After this happened the bell for lunch to be over finally rang.
"Taichi-senpai, I'll see you after class so we can walk to the field together.", Daisuke beamed as he prepared to rush to class so as not to be late.
"Sure Dai, I can't wait. Last period is a drag so I hope it goes quickly.", Taichi smiled before gathering his own things and heading out of the cafeteria.
Last period passed by rather quickly much to Tai's pleasure as the bell finally rang and he basically leapt from his chair with his backpack in hand much to his friend Yamato's amusement who knew exactly what would be happening following the school session.
As soon as Tai left the classroom Daisuke was already waiting by Tai's locker, the older brunette boy blushing slightly at the figure which stood waiting for him.
"Hey Tai, I figured I'd wait for you at your locker, it seemed like the perfect place. I'm already ready to go to the field for our one on one practice.", Daisuke grinned.
Taichi examined the features of the burgundy haired boy before him, his tan face brightened when he grinned making him one of the cutest images that the older boy had noticed in his entire life.
Taichi quickly placed the books in his locker.
"And I thought I was rushing to get out of class Daisuke, it seems you have me beaten." he grinned.
Daisuke attempted to hide the pink color that his tan cheeks were beginning to turn to and replied back softly, "I was just ready to practice with you, I know that it is going to be fun especially after how boring classes were today and I thought it'd be nice to meet you here."
"I understand, my class was boring too…I was sorta glancing at the time ready for the bell to ring myself. So, after I drop these books off in here we can head off to the field.", Taichi smiled.
Taichi quickly placed the books in the locker, looking over at the younger male beside him smiling warmly. Once finished he glanced at Daisuke and nudged him.
"Daisuke, you seem to be daydreaming or something. I'm finished with my locker. We can go ahead and get out of here.", Taichi grinned at the younger boy.
"Uh, yeah Taichi-senpai. I was thinking about something or rather someone." Daisuke blushed.
The older boy began to look a bit worried. 'Just my luck, he already probably likes someone…well he has been after Kari for the longest…it'd be better if it's her than anyone else.' He hesitated a bit before speaking.
"Well Dai, you know if you need any help with the ladies I'm your guy." Taichi grinned falsely not wanting his true feelings to show.
"Thanks Taichi-senpai, I'll keep that I mind." Daisuke stated a bit quiet…oddly quiet.
Taichi noticed this and decided to say something about it. "Is anything wrong Daisuke, you're not acting like yourself?"
Daisuke simply smiled at the older digi-destined of courage. "Don't worry Taichi-senpai, I'm fine let's hurry and get to where we can change so we can practice a bit."
Taichi smirked at the younger boy before him but couldn't shake off the feeling that something was probably worrying Daisuke, which was especially unnerving since the obvious was worrying him. To Taichi though, what was wrong with Daisuke was something that was far important than his crush on the younger burgundy haired boy.
"Well let's see, I left my uniform to my house. Do you have yours or would we need to stop by your house so you can grab something?" Taichi stated.
"No, I have my clothes with me so we just have to go by your place. If you don't mind, could I also change there when you change into your uniform?" Daisuke looked uneasily.
Taichi simply laughed at this statement. "Of course Dai, you've spent nights over to my house and everything else. We could get changed together no problem. Daisuke could only smile in response to his idol as the two made their way out of the building and to Taichi's house.
To be continued…
Wonder what's going to happen once they get to Tai's house. We'll find out next chapter. Continue with the reviews, I love hearing what the reader thinks!!
