Lasting Days- Prologue
By Eye of Aurora
****

**Hiya fellow Taito fans! I have returned with my second Taito fic and guess what? It isn't a lemon! ::gasp!:: I hope nobody has already taken this idea…I haven't read all that many Taichi/Yamato fictions, so I guess it's possible that someone has already written something like this. I'm thinking about including some Daiken in later chapters, but it's up to you! R&R, onegai!**

Disclaimer: You've all heard it before, the Eye of Aurora doesn't own Digimon ^_~

Note: This story takes place 7 years after the Season 2 finale. Taichi and Yamato have gone off to separate colleges and since haven't maintained contact…

~ Late March ~




I distinctly remember…

That sloppy mound of russet-brown hair, those huge friendly eyes, and the trademark headband and goggles…

I wonder how he's doing? How long has it been…three years, I'd guess. I left for college before he did, and before that, I was so busy with my music career, and Tai, well…he continued with soccer throughout our last years of high school…

I can't believe it's been three years since I last saw him…and it seems only a short while ago I was rejecting his invitations to hang out because I didn't have time with my hectic rehearsal schedule. Time flies, doesn't it?



Yamato sat glumly at the computer desk in his room, staring lazily at the glowing screen. He studied the tiny pictures neatly arranged on the Desktop; his deep blue eyes falling on the Internet icon in the corner. Hesitantly, he double-clicked the icon and logged in, waiting for a connection.

'It's been a while since I've used the Internet other than for research projects…' He noticed the large number of random e-mails showed up in his Mailbox, mostly junk mail or stupid forwarded jokes from his friends at school. Uninterested, Yamato scanned the various letters, secretly searching…

"Huh?"

Among the dozens of e-mails, Yamato came across an oddly familiar address…

"…Taichi."

He hadn't heard anything from Tai since they had parted. Yamato gazed softly at the screen as he opened the file, impatiently waiting to read its contents. Focusing intently, he read the mail quietly to himself, his heart increasing in rhythm…

'Hey Matt, it's me. I'm sorry I haven't written you in so long, school hasn't been treating me real nice, but that's not much of an excuse. Listen, I don't know about you, but schools off here for a couple weeks for spring vacation, and I was wondering if maybe I could come see you. It's been a while, I know, but lately, I've been thinking about you a lot, and I thought it might be nice to visit. I still have the directions on how to get there, you gave them to me before you left…If you're busy with school, I understand, write me back? Arigatou. Ja ne!

Taichi Yagami'


I breathed in heavily, unbelieving at first. Taichi? MY Tai? Could he really want to come see me? Our break schedules are the same…I should e-mail him back, and tell him that he can visit.

Argh, why do I feel so feathery all the sudden? He'd be staying here with me (Thank God I had enough money to afford an apartment…I'd be forced to have a roommate if I stayed in the dorms…) I'd be alone with Taichi Yagami without any distractions!

With anticipated glory, Matt eagerly replied to the e-mail…

'Tai, wow, it HAS been a long time! Thanks for the letter…and I also have a few weeks off from school, so it would be great if you could hang out with me for a while. I have nothing planned, so stay as long as you'd like. We won't have to worry about annoying roomies either! You know where the building is. I'll see you soon.

Yamato-kun'

End of Prologue! If I get enough reviews, I shall continue! I already have it all in mind, so I won't take forever getting it done. Please excuse any punctual/ grammar errors! Sorry the beginning is so short, but obviously, the next parts will be much longer ^_^ Arigatou! Feedback, onegai!
