It's Not That Bad by Yaoi Girl

"What's wrong with you two?" Takeru asked as he licked the icing from his fork, eyeing the two sitting across the table from him. "Did you two have your first couple argument?"

Yamato rolled his eyes, annoyed, and sighed. "Shut-up, Takeru. You know damn well that we aren't going out."

Taichi, who was already upset anyway, leaned his head on his hand, supported by his elbow, and angrily stuck his fork in the bite of cake before abruptly standing and walking out of the room.

'I can't take this anymore. Does he like me or not? Does he want to go out with me?' He let out a frustrated sigh and looked into the mirror, only to see his angry expression staring back at him.

"I'm sorry, Yamato. I was just teasing…" Takeru said softly, truly sincere as he laid his fork on his empty plate, with the exception of crumbs.

"I know; I'm sorry for yelling at you. I just…I don't know what I want right now. I don't know how I really feel about Taichi… I mean, sure I like him, a lot, and I've wanted him to kiss me for the longest time, but it's just now that it's happened, it's seems…I don't know…rushed. He knows when the moment's right, but I'm just not ready…" he replied, head lowered, nearly on the verge of tears, all because he didn't know what to think.

The younger blonde stood, the chair scraping across the floor as he did so, and he walked over to his brother, wrapping his arms around him. "It's okay to feel confused right now. You've never been in a relationship where someone truly has feelings for you and they aren't just using you…" He nuzzled Yamato's hair his nose as his brother retuned the embrace, crying into his brother's chest.

'I can't believe this is what I've brought him to…It's all my fault. But…can I fix it? Yama…' Taichi thought as he stood outside the kitchen doorway, peering in as he hid against the wall.

"Shh…it's okay, Yama…I'm here. Even if he isn't, I will be," Takeru said in an attempt to calm his brother down. "I'll always be here…"

For a few minutes, everything was quiet, with the exception of Yamato's sobs and Ishida-san's snores.

"Taichi!" the older blonde called, his head shooting up as he heard the front door close.

"I'll go get him, if you want me to," Takeru said as he stared heading for the door, stopping as he felt a hand on his wrist.

"No; I'll go after him. I'm the one that made him upset, and I'm the one who's going to fix it. Besides, I promised him that we'd talk more about everything when we got to his house anyway," he said, smiling weakly at his brother before releasing his wrist, heading to his room to collect his overnight bag, and out the front door.

"Yamato!" Takeru called from the front door a few moments later, but his brother was nowhere in site. 'You idiot; you didn't take your coat…'

I know, I know, I said I was going to stay away from the angst, but something's upsetting me (though I don't know what it is) and that's all I can write, for the time being. Sorry this chapter was so short, too. But because of stupid school, I can only stay on the comp till 10:30…and I don't get the comp till about 9:00 and I have to check my e-mail and all the fun stuff. Anyway, hoped you liked anyway.

Review please!
