[Best Saved For Last]
Tai's POV
[Musical Interlude
"Save The Best For Last", Vanessa Williams instrumental]
Yamato. That name made my anger flare, and yet, ironically enough, it also eventually made my fury melt swiftly away. F*ck him. I thought.
.....And yet, even though I meant that in a rather negative way, I know, with a guilty pleasure, I would have positively loved to do that to Yamato; to kug him. Even just to feel his lips press against mine and to taste the saltiness of them simply for once would be an experience I will cherish always.
.....And even if there weren't even any kisses, I would have been exploding with joy just to hear those three beautiful words come out of that luschious mouth of his.
I loved him so much. Why did he insist on torturing me so? Well, if he wanted to toy with me, I was gonna' play him, bad. I actually would have liked it if he toyed with me, though. That would mean he wanted me......oh, the sweet misery; the loving pain, the comforting hurt.....
But on his part, he won't even give me any misery. No, he's too busy giving Sora every bit of his love to do that.
Even when we were hanging out together, just the two of us, he's enthusiastic, but not because he has a chance to talk to me; rather, because he has a chance to talk to me about Sora. Sora. Sora. Sora. Perfect Sora. Beautiful Sora. The apple of his eye, Sora.
What's "with" that name?! I was already staring daggers at Yamato by the time he reached the second millionth time he said the name. And if looks could kill, he would've been dead by now.
It was strange. He had shared his dreams with me, and, yet, he had fulfilled them with somebody else. I was his oldest friend. I was his BEST friend. She was just his crush.
Yeah, I know. Scoff, scoff, scoff. "Just" his crush?
I couldn't help but feel so bitter towards Sora. I crushed on her, too, but even I, the sometimes oblivious one, realized that I loved Yamato, and he was the one I preferred. How could he love her, when I loved him and, deep down in that twisted heart of his, he loved me? I was heartbroken that Christmas Day - the day the couple of Yamato and Sora came into an existence. An existence of a couple, that, unbeknownst to them, that killed my very inside.
"Guess what?" Yamato's sapphire blue eyes sparkled with happiness.
"What?" I growled, even though I knew the answer to my question.
Sora.
"Sora, she was the sweetest person. She baked cookies for me!" Yamato looked ecstatic.
"Wow, she is like, so awesome."
Somehow, he missed the sarcasm in that remark.
Depressed and moody, and with nothing else to do, I went to Yorushiku, a cafe that was a pretty popular hang-out. Mimi had just gotten a gig there, and I had promised to attend her performance there.
As I listened, I was amazed at how perfectly the lyrics matched my desperation.
".....All of the nights you came to me
when some silly girl had set you free
You wondered how you'd make it through
I wondered what was wrong with you
'cause how could you give your love to someone else,
and share your dreams with me?
Sometimes the very thing you're looking for
is the one thing you can't see....."
But Yamato; he was so deep in love with his first love, so how could he ever make time, to save the best for last? Did he even know he had to?
I cried to myself that evening, trying to cope with myself the fact that I stood too close to him for him ever to see me. Not like he saw Sora, anyway.
He had already surprised me when he wouldn't even realize that his best friend could possibly be someone he could love. What other surprises should I expect of him?
He surprised me, again, though.
It was unpredictable. That evening, he just burst into my house, scooped me into his arms, and kissed me. He literally broke down the door.
However, I was not the one to complain.
Yamato sent thrills down my spine as he said those three words I had ached for so long to hear from his lips. "I love you." Yamato told me, earnestly.
His love was a gift that I would not exchange for all the soccor championships in the world.
He gave me such a great one, too.
It was his realized love for me that moved us to ask each other to marry one another. It was his love that moved us to have an actual wedding. It was his very love that moved Sora so much to become the surrogate mother of our two children, Hikaru and Yuki. He brought such joy and happiness to my life like I never thought he could.
.....And he still never ceases to amaze me to this day. Even as being too romantic, old and weary as I've grown to be, with my cancer and all*, I still get to experience love like a teenager would.
Track 09 - Save The Best For Last:
Sometimes the snow comes down in June
Sometimes the sun goes 'round the moon
I see the passion in your eyes
Sometimes it's all a big surprise
'cause there was a time
when all I did was wish
you'd tell me this was love
It's not the way I hoped
or how I planned
but somehow, it's enough
And now we're standing face to face
Isn't this world a crazy place?
Just when I thought our chance had passed
You go and save the best for last
All of the nights you came to me
when some silly girl had set you free
You wondered how you'd make it through
I wondered what was wrong with you
'cause how could you give your love to someone else,
and share your dreams with me?
Sometimes the very thing you're looking for
is the one thing you can't see
But now we're standing face to face
Isn't this world a crazy place?
Just when I thought our chance had passed
You go and save the best for last
Sometimes the very thing
you're looking for
is the one thing you can't see
Sometimes the snow comes down in June
Sometimes the sun goes 'round the moon
Just when I thought our chance had passed
You go and save the best for last
You went and saved the best for last.
*Yes, Taichi has cancer. Don't ask why I decided to add in that detail. I didn't add it for my own sadistic amusement, I just felt I had to do so in order to make the ficcie complete. Sorries to those people who don't like any angst at all, in fanfics.*
A Final Note: That was in dedication to Splash and all the great authors who wrote stories with chock full of Yamachi/Taito goodiness! Well.....I admit, that was also for myself; Sorato/Yamara drove me nuts for already a year - yeah I know, it's sad. Being drove nuts by a mere cartoon. *shrugs* I can finally rest in peace, though, and I can finally say, with triumph, Yamachi/Taito forever! Boo-yah!
.....Now, only if I could get my hands on all three Mighty Ducks tapes.....
