Disclaimer: I no own, you no sue!! (There we go. Short, precise and blunt.)
A/N: This is my first fic, so plz no flamez!! It'd be greatly appreciated!! Yes, this is YAOI, with Taito and Daiken, so if I get any flamez about those couples, I'll know that you read the warning and still proceeded to read the story, which makes you just like the rest of us!! Also mild Sora-bashing. This is rated R, for some colorful language, and some limey scenes in the future chapters. The Daiken will also be included in future chapters, and I might add some other couples at any time. As for now, I hope you enjoy!!
I also decided to use Yagami as Taichi's last name, and not Kamiya. If you want to see why the American censors changed it, read it backwards!! Oh yeah, and Taichi is turning 18 in this fic, Yamato, Sora, and Mimi are already 18, Jyou is 19, Koushirou is 17, Takeru, Hikari, Daisuke, Ken and Miyako are 15, and Iori is 14.
Is it really that hard to just pick up a pen and write something? It doesn't matter what. Maybe just a signature. Or a friendly greeting. It takes no effort at all. Yet he still managed to disappoint me. How could he do this to me? He ruined such a special thing.
The Birthday Banner
By: Renegade Angel
Taichi was sitting in his room, feeling quite depressed and angry. He had come home after school, not said a single word to his parents or Hikari, and had stormed up to his room. His mother was about to inquire what was wrong, until she heard a deafening sound that could only be Taichi slamming his door shut. That was as pure a sign as any to stay away for the moment. However, that is not what worried Mrs. Yagami. Taichi quite often came home this way. He was just moody. But this morning when he had left for school, he was happier then he had been for quite a long time. In fact, today of all days, Taichi should be bubbling over with joy, but instead he has locked himself away in his room. This was particularly unsettling to the Yagami family, as today was Taichi's birthday.
----*Flashback*----
Ishida Yamato walked into class, early as usual, to be completely surprised. There sat in front of him, a normally late Yagami Taichi, more than 45 minutes early for school. Yamato was about to inquire what was wrong, because obviously something was, when he suddenly remembered. Shit!! Today is Taichi's birthday!! I totally forgot. What the hell am I supposed to do? He mentally slapped himself. Yamato had completely forgotten the birthday of the person who probably mattered the most to him in the entire world, aside from Takeru. He still hadn't bought him a present. It's not that he hadn't bothered, but because he couldn't find anything suitable. Every time he saw something he thought would be a good gift, he put it back. Yamato would always tell himself that it would give away his secret, that every gift he picked out just screamed "I love you Taichi. I have for years now. I'm gay, and I love you." But now he was in a real predicament. Today was the special day, and he had nothing. His thoughts were broken by a tapping on his shoulder. It was Taichi. He was saying something, but Yamato couldn't register what it was. His mind was clouded by the mesmerizing movements of Taichi's lips. So kissable, so soft and smooth. It took every ounce of Yamato's control to not jump Taichi right then and there. He then realized that Taichi was simply saying hello, and asking if he knew what today was. Yamato knew Taichi was trying to extract a birthday greeting, and/or a present from him. So Yamato did the only thing that came naturally to him. He panicked. He could feel his cheeks getting flustered, as he mumbled something about a hello, and it being Thursday, before he dropped his bag and rushed out of the room. In his tracks he left a very confused and perplexed Taichi.
----*Taichi POV*----
What's wrong with Yamato? I've never seem his this nervous or shaky before. He was actually trembling when I talked to him. I only saw him for about 3 minutes and he already did about 4 different things that were definitely not Yamato. The first thing was the way he just stared at me when I was talking. He didn't answer for so long. And then when he snapped out of it, his cheeks went all red, as if he was blushing. Yamato blush? Now there's something I've never seen before. And Yamato has a perfect memory. But when I asked him what today was, he seemed to have forgotten that it was my birthday!! He actually had the nerve to say it was Thursday. Wasn't I obvious enough? Just my tone of voice pointed out that it was some special day. And besides!! It's Monday!!!! I guess I'll just have to make it my mission to find out why he's acting all flustered. I'll hunt him down and force him to tell me. Besides, if he's sick or something, I should know. I don't like the thought of something being wrong with my Yamato. Wait a second, my Yamato? Since when did I own him? Well, I guess I don't, but if I had my way I would. I just don't have the courage to tell him how I feel about him. Every time I try, the words just won't come out. It shouldn't be so hard. "I love you Yamato." "I love you Yamato." See? I can do it now!! Oh this is so frustrating!!! I have to find him…. NOW!!
----*Yamato POV*----
Baka baka baka baka baka. I am officially a baka. I must have tipped him off by now. He's probably back in the room thinking what's wrong with me, if he hasn't already figured it out. It's just that lately I find him so irresistible. Every time I see him I think of the two of us in suggestive positions, and I usually end up having to make a trip to the bathroom. When will it ever stop???!!!??!! Ugh. I'm such a pansy. Really, I am. That's one term I don't find offense in. I mean, I am so incredibly feminine, just look at me!! And going along with the stereotype, I'm just too timid to tell Taichi about my feelings for him. I'm sure he'd just be disgusted, repulsed, and never want to see me again! Oh hey, there's Sora. Now there is somebody that bugs me almost as much as Jun does. She is so hopelessly in love with Taichi. And she's so obvious about it too. Maybe I'm just jealous because she's probably got a better chance with him then I do. Man, I wallow in self-pity a lot. Mental note: Stop wallowing in self-pity. Hey wait a second. Sora's at Taichi's locker, and she's acting kind of suspicious. What's she doing?
----*Normal POV*----
Yamato hid around a corner where he could see and not be seen. He decided to spy on Sora. He wanted desperately to find out if she was leaving him some kind of erotic birthday gift, something she's known for. But instead, she just looked from side to side to make sure no one was around, and kind of leaned on Taichi's locker for awhile, facing it. What the fuck is she doing? Yamato decided that hiding wasn't getting him anywhere, so he left his hiding spot. But Sora spotted him, and abandoned what she was doing, and ran like a banshee down the hallway. Yamato slowly walked up to Taichi's locker, and was quite surprised. What she had been doing was harmless enough. Taped to the locker was a big banner that said "Happy 18th Birthday Taichi!!" It's just his birthday banner. Why am I being so paranoid and jealous all of a sudden? It's not like I even have Taichi……yet. Yamato was about to take out a pen and sign it, but thought against it. He needed a way to cover up his actions from before, so he decided that he would pretend he forgot the whole day, then surprise Taichi at his house with a big spectacular present. So instead, he just looked to see what was written on the banner so far. Seeing as it was still early, there were only 3 messages and about 4 lone signatures. However, upon further inspection, he realized what Sora had written, and why she was acting so flustered. She ran away when she saw Yamato, and hadn't even been able to finish her signature under the message. Yamato was so enraged at what was written, that he ran out of the school, leaving his bag and everything there.
