Yamato
I wouldn't necessarily say I'm upset when my dad tells Tai he's welcome to spend the night, however, I do put up a fight about where the brunette will be sleep. He can't sleep on the couch, and I know this because of my dads weird sleeping pattern. Greatly thanks to me, of course. But, I don't want Tai sleeping in my room, either, because that means I'll have to share my bed. Not that I'm worried the brunette will do anything, it's more just...I've never had anyone in my bed before. Ever. I know it's a losing battle, but I fight it anyway.
"But daaaad." I whine.
"Enough, Yamato." I pout and cross my arms over my chest. The brunette had sat quietly the entire time, I can see him out of the corner of my left eye. He's smiling. That makes me pout even more. He's finally stopped eating, though.
"Go watch TV, or something. Rent a movie. I have work to do." My dads tone is official, so I get up and do as he's asked, although I do make a quick trip to the bathroom to take my medicine. When I go to find the brunette, my dad has him in the living room, and is renting a movie for him. I flop into my usual chair. My dad looks at me, but doesn't say anything. Tai's on the far side of the couch. I watch the names flip by and my dad and Tai talk about them. Tai keeps looking at me for my input, I guess, but I've never even heard of any of these movies before. They end up picking Wrong Turn 4.
"It's a scary one, Yamato." My dad tells me.
"So I concluded by the name. And the 18+ rating." Tai giggles at my word choices.
"Have fun!" My dad says all cheery as we walks away and locks himself in his room to do his work. The opening scene is gross, but it's not scary. At least, I don't think so. Tai, however has his face covered with his hands.
"Scared, Tai?" I ask. The boy jumps and drops his hands.
"No, I'm just tired." His voice is wavers, and when he said 'no' his voice cracked.
"Sure,"
"But, uh, you should come sit over here, anyway. Just in case you get scared." At first, I almost say no, but after a few seconds debate, I move to sit beside the brunette. I can feel the couch shake underneath the boy as the movie goes on. At some point the brunette moves close enough to me that he can hide his face against my shoulder.
"You're pathetic, you know that?" I ask the other boy. Tai sticks his tongue out at me, but then hides his face again, as someone else gets killed. By the end of the movie, the brunette's feet are up on the couch, and he doesn't want to get off.
"Tai, come on.."
"No, they're going to get me."
"Kay, well, I'm going to tell everyone on your soccer team all about this." The boy freezes, and then shakes his head.
"I don't care. I don't want to see the crazy guys!" I grab the brunette's arm and pull, and he comes flying off the couch and crashes into me.
"Oh." He says. I don't let him go as I lead him to my bedroom, as we pass the hallway closet, I grab Tai an extra blanket.
"Are you making me sleep on the floor?" He asks, fear creeping into his voice.
"Yes." I tell him. The brunette stops, and I nearly fall backwards onto him.
"I'm kidding. You can't have either of my blankets because I need them. I get too cold."
"Oh." The brunette says again. It almost sounds like he's half asleep, but really, he's distracted, checking for the boogie man. I flip the light switch for my room, and it's bathed in proper light. Tai blinks at the sudden assault on his eyes. I pull out shorts from my drawer.
"I'm going to change in th-"
"Don't leave me! I'll put the blanket over my head. And turn around..and cover my eyes!" I sigh in frustration, but agree to the brunette. He spins around and throws the blanket over his head. I take my jeans off and throw them in the laundry basket, then pull my shorts on.
"I'm shutting the light off." I announce. The brunette gives a soft whimper, then everything's dark momentarily while my eyes adjust. I push past Tai, who has taken the blanket off his face, and climb into bed, and move to the far side. The other boy climbs onto my bed after me, and I'm glad I convinced my dad to get me a bigger one. The brunette's breathing becomes softer as he falls asleep. I lay awake for a long time, not trusting myself to sleep with someone else this close. Just as I am about to fall asleep, Tai shifts.
"Yamato?" He asks.
"What?" I respond, fully awake now.
"I have to pee." I groan. "Seriously? You woke me up for that?"
"I don't wanna go alone.."
"Oh, God. What's wrong with you?" I snap as I climb over the other boy. He shifts as my leg touches his.
"Let's go." The brunette gets up and places a hand on my shoulder and I lead him through the darkened house to the bathroom. I turn the light on for him, and he slips in and leaves the door mostly open. I wait for him to go to the bathroom and wash his hands. This time he reaches for my hand. I turn the light off with my free hand and lead the brunette back to my room, where I drop his hand immediately and climb back into bed. This time, I'm pretty sure I fall asleep first.
Taichi
I'm not sure why but when I get out of the bathroom, I reach for his hand instead of his shoulder. When our skin touches I get butterflies. Yamato uses his free hand to turn the light off, and we walk back his bedroom. As soon as the door is shut behind us, Yamato drops my hand and gets back into bed. I follow him, and climb into the bed after him, and use the blanket he gave me to wrap myself up in. I try and try to sleep, but I can't. I roll over, and find the Yamato is facing me. His eyes are closed and he looks peaceful. I don't know why, but I reach out and touch the boys cheek. His eyes flutter, but don't actually open, thankfully. His skin is soft, and smooth, and heating up. I take my hand away to watch the blonde, and notice the shift in his face from peace to fear. And then his eyes snap open, causing me to jump, and move away from his face before he realizes what I was doing. The blonde groans.
"What's the matter?" I ask softly.
"Just a bad dream." He responds. He looks..off. It takes me quite awhile to notice why. His eyes are cloudy, and closer to grey then blue.
"Are you sure?" The blondes eyes half are half shut now, although his voice tells me he's fully awake.
"Yea.." I touch his head again, expecting him to move away, but he doesn't. He hardly even moves. His skin is warmer now then it was even just a few minutes ago.
"I think your swim in the pond has given you a fever." I tell him. He shrugs absently.
"Had worse, I'm sure." He mutters. His eyes shut completely. His eyes move under the closed lids, and his breathing becomes softer. I get up and wander to Yamato's window, and look past his curtains. The sky is filled with reds, oranges, and yellows. I've never actually seen the sunrise before. I look back at the other boy to make sure the lights not bothering him, and see that it falls directly across his face. I can't help but smile, it looks just like the movies, almost. The blonde shifts and covers his eyes and I drop the curtain, going back to the blonde. His eyes are open, and less cloudy then they were five minutes ago.
"You don't sleep much.." I say leaning on the bed. He turns his eyes on me.
"Yea, well..It's impossible to sleep when someone opens the curtain and the sun is on your face." He says, although it's not the way he normally says things. It's almost like he's joking. I watch the other boys eyes, and his eyes are on me. I even see the faint blush spread across his cheeks. When he breathes out I can smell his breath. His breath is sweet, and considering he hasn't even brushed his teeth yet...Suddenly the other boy sits up and pushes me away from his face. He swings his legs over the side of the bed, his leg touching my arm. The bedroom door swings open making me jump. Yamato rubs his eyes, and yawns.
"Morning, boys!" His dad says, he's very cheery for someone so early in the morning.
"Hello," Yamato says. He didn't bothering hiding the confusion in his voice.
"May I ask why you're shouting first thing in the morning?"
"I've decided we're going camping on Friday!" The blonde stares at his father in disbelief. I can't help but laugh.
"What's the matter, Yama?" I ask. The look on the boys face makes me laugh again.
"Seriously? Camping? You want me to go sleep on the ground in the woods? No thanks."
"You can sleep in the car. I'll even let Tai come. We should all go together." Yamato's dad turns around and leaves, closing the door behind him. As he retreats I can hear him talking to himself.
"And Mum thinks I'm the crazy one.." The blonde boy mutters. I place my forehead on the boys leg and laugh.
"Oh, Yama." I mange to get out through my laughing.
"I don't see what's so funny about this.." He says, annoyed, which just sends me into another fit of giggles.
