+ The rain is here +

While Yamato ran, the clear, sunny sky begain to throw water to the ground.

+ And you my dear +
+ Are still my friend +

He kept running as he reached Taichi's apartment.

+ It's true, the two of us are back +
+ As one again +

He had to come back. Once more, at least.

+ I was the one who left you +

I broke your promise, he thought.

+ Always coming back +

But I have a promise to myself.

+ I cannot forget you girl +

The ring glistened in the light and the rain.

+ Now I am up in arms again +

He knocked on the door.





+ The rain is here +

Taichi stared into space, listening to nothing at all when the doorbell rang.

+ And you my dear +

He opened the door. "Yamato?" Taichi's jaw dropped.

+ Are still my friend +

Yamato, standing in the doorway soaking wet, could only whisper. "Taichi..."

+ It's true, the two of us are back +
+ As one again +

Taichi and Yamato hugged each other, the first time in a very long time.

+ I was the one who left you +

"I'm so sorry, Taichi..." Yamato wanted to finish, but a lump formed in his throat.

+ Always coming back +

He smiled. "You don't have to be."

+ I cannot forget you girl +

Yamato buried his head in Taichi's chest. "I missed you. I couldn't be without you."

+ Now I am up in arms again +



+ Together now +

Taichi dragged the soaking wet Yamato inside. He disappeared into the hall and came back quickly.

+ I don't know how +
+ This love could end +

Soon Yamato sat on the couch, huddled in blankets, in Taichi's clothes, with his best friend sitting beside you.

+ My lonely heart +

"I couldn't be there for Sora anymore," Yamato said.

+ It falls apart +

"I don't want to have to pretend."

+ For you to mend +

"Hush," Taichi whispered. "We'll talk about it later."

+ I was the one who left you +

"But I hurt you... I know I did!"

+ Always coming back +

"You care for me, Yamato. I can't hate you if you don't mean it."

+ I cannot forget you girl +

"I couldn't mean it."

+ Now I am up in arms again +

They sat quietly for a while.





+ I was the one who left you +

"You still have my ring." Taichi held Yamato's hand up.

+ Always coming back +
+ I cannot forget you girl +

"I can't lose it." Yamato smiled.

+ Ima boku wa ue ude ni mata +

They kissed, the warmth of their love surpassing everything.
