It's Not That Bad by Yaoi Girl

Neither really wanted to say anything, both boys simply wrapped together in the blanket, staring at the floor, Taichi absently playing with the hem of the large dark blue piece of fabric.

So there they say, simply staring and silent.

Sighing a few moments later, Yamato stood and started to walk away from the couch, until he felt the brunette grab his hand, stopping him in his tracks.

"Where are you going?" he asked softly.

"Does it really matter?" Yamato sniffed.

'He's…crying? But why?' He didn't know for sure if the blonde was really crying or not, as the boy wasn't facing him, but the sniffing was either because he was crying or he was already starting to catch a cold, or maybe even both. "You're an idiot, you know that, Ishida?" Taichi said with a small smile as he pulled the blonde down to him, the boy falling into his lap, wrapping him back up in the blanket. "You're still freezing…"

"I wouldn't be if someone hadn't run away…" Yamato mumbled, looking somewhat irritated as he crossed his arms over his chest, not attempting to get up or off of Taichi.

"Why does it matter why I ran away? What's done is done…" Taichi replied with a shrug.

"Because I want to know why, Taichi! Why did you run away…why did you break me, and then just leave me there to break down some more, until there was nothing left…Why?!" he demanded through tears, though he wouldn't look at Taichi, as his face was buried in his hands.

Sighing, the brunette removed Yamato's hands from his face, forcing the boy to look at him. With a serious expression, he said, "I didn't want you to have to go through this; I didn't want to hurt or confuse you, make you question your own emotions towards me, but unfortunately, that's what's happened…I couldn't help the way I acted today. It all just seemed unreal, like this was just a really nice dream, until I seen what I had done to you; I made you cry, and that's something that just doesn't suit someone as beautiful as you," he said, a soft smile appearing for a brief moment as he brushed some stray strands of hair from over Yamato's eyes, his seriousness returning as he went on, "I'm sorry if I pushed you, if you didn't want any of this to happen, but I can't just deny what I know I feel for you."

"What do you feel for me, Taichi?" Yamato asked hesitantly, his and Taichi's hands and finger entwined.

Smiling, the brunette replied, "Not so fast. You have to tell me what I did wrong, so maybe I can fix it before I make it worse."

Yamato went wide-eyed, his eyes revealing how scared he was to say anything, though Taichi couldn't understand why. He closed his eyes a moment later, hiding any other emotion locked in his eyes before Taichi could see and question them. Quietly, barely above a whisper, he began, "You rushed things a bit today, but this," he said lifting their entwined hands up slightly, "this is fine. The 'kiss' at the movies was just because it felt right, but at my house…it seemed a bit rushed, like it wasn't time for something that expressive just yet. And you did make me question myself; I knew before today that I…kinda had a crush on you, but I never realized how big that little crush had grown, into almost…"

Taichi placed a finger on the blonde's lips, causing the boy to open his eyes and look at him. "You don't need to say it; I told you earlier that I didn't want to hear it, not unless you meant it. I don't want you to break me either, even though I deserve it after what I did today."

Shaking his head, smiling softly, Yamato replied, "You didn't do a thing wrong; everything was perfect, at least it was to me. Even though you caused me some pain, you don't deserve to go through it. Today was wonderful because of you, and I don't want to ruin it anymore. I just want it to get better from here…"

Leaning down, so his mouth was near Yamato's ear, he whispered, "Yama, will you go out with me?"

For the umpteenth time that day, the blonde's face turned red.

He didn't respond right away, and Taichi didn't expect him to; he was sure that Yamato still hadn't sorted out all of his feelings just yet, so he sat there, simply holding Yamato like he had been doing for at least the past five minutes.

After much deliberation (don't ask…I just wanted to say it ^_^;) Yamato knew his answer…
