It's Not That Bad by Yaoi Girl

'I really wish Takeru hadn't followed us in here, but then again, I told him he could… I need to talk to Taichi about everything that's happened so far today. Like at the movies when he held my hand and the 'kiss', and here when he kissed me and the whole cake thing.' ::sigh::

Taichi turned and looked at Yamato, who had his head lowered, eyebrows furrowed in thought, obviously not paying attention to the movie. "What's wrong?"

If anything, Yamato was startled as his head shot up and turned to face Taichi. "I..it's nothing. Really," he replied as he turned back to the movie.

The concerned brunette had easily seen through his lie, continuing to stare at Yamato. 'What's he hiding? Did I push too much? Goddess, I'd hate it if I pushed him away because I want him so much. I just can't help the way I feel about him though. He has to feel the same way towards me, right? At least a little bit because he let me hold his hand and kiss him today, and he even participated in the 'kiss' at the movies. I'm confused…' he thought, shaking his head and went back to watching the movie, making a mental note to find out about all this later when he was alone with the older blonde.

"Do you think the cake's cooled off enough now to frost it?" Takeru asked hopefully a few minutes later.

Yamato glanced over to his alarm clock and stood up. "Yeah, it should be by now. Do you want to help, Taichi?" he asked, not looking down at the brunette, still focusing on the TV, his voice and expression one of emptiness.

"Sure," he replied in much the same manner, standing up and following Yamato to the kitchen. "Yama…We need…"

"To talk; I know," he sighed, leaning back against a counter, staring at the floor.

"Yeah. You go first."

"Fine," he said with a heavy sigh, turning to a cabinet and pulling out a container of chocolate frosting. "Was the movie thing a date, or just for the hell of it?"

"Both, I guess," he replied with a shrug.

"What do you mean 'I guess'? Don't you know?"

"Hey, you asked one question already, so now it's my turn." He paused to see if the blonde was going to argue or protest, but he said nothing, so he went on. "Why didn't you kiss me when I kissed you earlier in here?"

"Why didn't he what?" came a yawn from the open fridge.

Both boys involuntarily gasped, tensing up as they turned in the direction of the voice, only to find Ishida-san chugging from an orange juice container.

"I wanted to know why he didn't hiss back at me when I hissed at him earlier in the kitchen today," he said, hoping that Ishida-san was still asleep enough to register that and hoped that he didn't hear the real response a few moments ago. "It's a game that we made up at school. Very popular, right, Yamato?"

"Um…right!" he replied, staring at Taichi as if to ask 'Is that the best you can come up with?'

The brunette shrugged and grabbed a rubber spatula from one of the drawers and handed it to Yamato as Ishida-san replied, "You kids today come up with the weirdest things… Well, I'm going back to bed. Night."

"Night," they both replied, and then falling silent at the awkwardness the situation had caused.

Yamato frosted the cake quickly and neatly, licking off the tiny blobs that had slide onto his fingers. "You want what's left of the icing?" he asked, holding the container, pointing the contents in the other boy's direction.

"No, I'm fine," he sighed, his head propped up by his hand and elbow as he sat at the table.

"I know, I know; you want to talk more about this, but can it wait until we get to your house? Takeru could just barge in while we're talking and embarrass us…" the blonde said, not looking at Taichi as he threw the container of icing in the trash and rinsed the spatula off before putting it in the water filling bowl from the batter.

"How can he embarrass us? He's seen me kiss you and lick cake batter off of you already; what could be more embarrassing?" he asked, softly and annoyed.

Yamato either didn't hear Taichi, or he ignored what he had said, as he walked out of the kitchen and to his bedroom to tell Takeru that the cake was ready to eat.

'This is gonna be a long and rough night…'
