It's Not That Bad by Yaoi Girl

'Something else's going to happen and ruin this moment; I just know it!' Yamato thought, as the space between he and Taichi grew smaller with each passing second, with each breath.

But to his surprise, nothing happened; no one said or did anything to protest what they were doing as their lips shyly met.

The kiss was short and sweet, nothing more than a kiss you'd share with your siblings or parents when you were young.

They stared at each other after separating, their hands still entwined and gripping each other tightly, caused by the intensity of the moment before. Neither spoke a word or blinked, they just stared and breathed.

Without warning, Taichi pulled his hand away from Yamato's and broke the gaze as the lights began to brighten. "I'm sorry, Yamato. I shouldn't have done that, ever; least of all, here and now."

"Taichi, it's fine. I…I wanted to…"

"Hey, you two!"

The pair's heads shot around to face the person yelling at them, both boys sighing and staring blankly at the boy.

"I thought you were supposed to be doing house-work today, bro."

The older blonde sighed. "I am, but Taichi invited me to the movies today. What are you doing here, anyway?"

Takeru blushed and glanced over his shoulder to someone. "I'm on a date."

The brunette couldn't help but grin, despite the situation he had caused. "Looks like a double date to me."

"Taichi!" Daisuke yelled as he seen where his boyfriend had run off to, waving wildly as he ran towards them, Ken blushing and following behind.

The five boys talked while the credits continued to roll and people began to leave, deciding to leave when the room was empty.

Once outside of the building, Taichi and Yamato said good-bye to the trio and headed in the opposite direction as them.

"Do you want me to walk you home?" the brunette asked a few minutes after they began walking.

"Taichi…"

"I understand; I'll see you later," he said as he waved and began to turn a corner and run, not waiting for any kind of response.

Breaking into a wide grin, Yamato thought, 'You are such a dumbass, Yagami.'

Running in the same direction as the brunette, the blonde took another route to Taichi's house, knowing Taichi would take the long way and probably stop somewhere to think.

He reached the Yagami residence and knocked on the door. He waited a few moments before knocking again.

Receiving no answer, he hovered next to the door for a moment, looking around to see if anyone was watching before he moved the address sign and pulled out the spare key.

Letting himself in, after unlocking and replacing the key, Yamato sat on the couch and thought about what had happened while he waited on Taichi to get home.

'I can't believe he thought I would be mad at him…He's so dense sometimes. Then he runs off because I said his name, but I only wanted to tell him that…'

He jumped as he heard the door close and someone fall to the floor shortly after, crying.

"Is that you, Taichi?" Yamato softly called. In response he got a sniff and heard the boy push himself off the floor and drop his shoes.

"Why are you here?" was all Taichi said as he walked in, wiping his eyes and sniffing. "You want to make fun of me?"

"You really are as dense as everyone says, you know that?" the blonde smiled. "I'm not mad at you or here to make fun of you. I just wanted to say thanks for taking me to the movies."

"Oh. Well, your welcome, I guess," he said as he plopped into the recliner. "So…you don't have a problem with the way I am?"

"Of course not; you're still the same goofball I love," Yamato said.

"Don't say that if you don't mean it," the brunette said softly.

"Don't say what?"

"That word!"

"What word?"

"Just forget it…" he sighed, pulling the lever on the recliner for the footrest.

"Seeing how it is that you're in a bad mood, I guess I'll go home."

"No, you don't have to. I'm sorry, it's just that I'm mad at myself for ever wanting to kiss you, of all people."

"I said it was fine; I don't have a problem with you kissing me, Taichi. And if you called that a kiss…" he teased.

Taichi smiled and shook his head. "You're right; that wasn't even a kiss. Say," he went on, his spirits returning. "You wanna stay the night?"

"I'd love to, but I have to go home first and get my housework done before my dad gets home."

"Do you want me to help you?"

"I don't really need any help," he started and hastily continued as he seen Taichi sulking again, "unless you really want to…"
