Growing Together

Summary: A tasty treat for TaiYama Week 2018. The blossoming of a new relationship; the development from friends to lovers. Blissful moments and the hardships faced.


D-Angel: Thanks for all your love so far. Here is the second prompt, Amusement Park :D


Chapter 2 - Amusement Park


Even though Taichi had asked Yamato directly, it had taken the blond almost two weeks before he finally organised a day to take him to Joypolis. It also happened to be the hottest day of the year so far, so being stuck inside a giant air-conditioned building filled with Yamato, countless fun attractions, and hardly any other customers, turned out to be an even bigger God send.

Taichi managed to drag Yamato onto the indoor roller-coaster with him, but the blond had flat out refused to join him on the House of the Dead shooting simulator, and in the walk-through Haunted House. Taichi tried his best not to tease him about it, but in truth, he found Yamato's squeamish side flat out adorable.

Had it not been for the whole notepad and bed incident that had recently occurred, it would have just been a typical trip out for them.

After grabbing some matcha ice-cream, Taichi's eyes were fixed on the Daikanransha Ferris Wheel looming in the horizon as they headed across the walkway side by side, soaking up the sunshine.

"Can we go on the ferris wheel?"

Taichi was certain Yamato swore under his breath, but before he could find out, they were already heading up the stairway to Palette Town.

Once they had climbed onboard the wheel, the attendant waved enthusiastically once she had closed their gondola door behind them. A heavy silence unfolded as their pod started its gradual ascend to the heavens. It was not unusual for Yamato to be quiet and difficult to read, but Taichi still could not quite figure out what his best friend wanted from him. It both infuriated and intrigued him.

As their pod creaked and swayed ever so slightly to and fro, Taichi slowly edged closer to Yamato, until their arms were literally touching, skin on skin. The brunet realised that the blond was shivering, despite the beads of moisture collating on his brow from the warmth of the sun beaming through the plastic windows.

Succumbing to the heavy ache in his stomach, Taichi decided it was time to call him out on things.

"You wanted to kiss me up here," The brunet said, his dark brown eyes carefully analysing Yamato. "That's what you put in the notebook."

The deep blush that appeared across Yamato's face instantly told Taichi everything he needed to know. The blond turned his head away and peered out of the window, at the same time, a warm chill shot down Taichi's spine when Yamato's soft palm brushed against the back of his hand. Moments later, their fingers were entwined. A small smile appeared on the brunet's face. This was definitely a good start.

By the end of the ferris wheel ride, Yamato's body was no longer shaking.


D-Angel: Another short but sweet installment. Sorry there was no kissing on the ferris wheel... Blame Yamato for being too shy ;) He'll, err, loosen up eventually though, so to speak. Haha. More TaiYama goodness to follow tomorrow.
