It's Not That Bad by Yaoi Girl

"Honestly, did she really have to put that much pepper on everything?!"

"Oh, shit!" Taichi whispered mainly to himself, Yamato looking up at him, confused, as he hadn't heard what Taichi had, as he was still thinking before he actually replied, mainly about the consequences in the long run if they had a relationship.

A few moments later, two pairs of shoes were heard hitting the floor by the doorway, Yamato turning his attention away from the wide-eyed and scared stiff boy and to Taichi's mother standing in the living room doorway, his father disappearing into the bathroom.

"Yagami Taichi!" his mother barked, hands on her hips as she glared at him.

'Here it comes…' Taichi thought, cowering back into the sofa as his mother advanced toward the pair, Yamato still in his lap, their hands still together, feeling sorry for the blonde as he was now quivering in fear, also thinking that his mother was going to yell at them.

"You should know better than this!" she said, now standing in front of them, glowering down at her son.

"Mom…I can explain…" he managed, his voice cracking in fear, his free arm encircling Yamato and pulling his closer, mainly for protection against any kind of attack she might inflict, the blonde grabbing Taichi's shirt tightly with his free hand.

"I don't want to hear any excuses, Taichi!"

Both boys shut their eyes, prepared for anything, but receiving nothing but silence.

Hesitantly, Yamato opened his eyes, only to see Taichi's mother smile briefly at him, then glared at her son, the blonde trying to hold back his laughter.

Gulping, Taichi opened his eyes, looking into his mother's angry ones.

"How many times do I have to tell you to put your dirty socks in the hamper?!" she said, laughing, as she tossed the sock onto Taichi's head, then turned and walked down the hall, vanishing into her bedroom.

By now, Yamato was laughing on the floor, as he had rolled off Taichi's lap in the process.

"I don't see why that's so funny…we could've been killed!" Taichi said as he crossed his arms over his chest, sticking his nose in the air with a 'humph' as he closed his eyes, the sock still on top of his neatly tied back hair.

Once he had stopped laughing, Yamato pushed himself to sit upright, looking at Taichi with a small smile. Sighing happily, he stood, towering over the brunette as he removed the offending object and bent down to pick the other one up off the floor, knowing that Taichi would never clean up after himself and he didn't feel like hearing Yagami-san yelling at Taichi again.

Cracking an eye open, the brunette smiled evilly, as he seen the blonde walk out of the room. He stood from the couch, quickly throwing the décor pillows down across the couch, then tossing the blanket over them, making it appear that he was lying there with the blanket over his head. Quickly and quietly, he ran to the end of the couch, which was by the doorway with enough room for the brunette to squeeze into, which he did, waiting for his prey to return.

As Yamato entered the room, he smiled, falling for Taichi's trap, as he tiptoed across the room and jumped onto 'Taichi'. He instantly realized that what he felt beneath the blanket was definitely not Taichi, and so, he pulled back the blanket, only to find the jumble of pillows.

Peeking out, he saw that the blonde was occupied, so he slipped out from between the wall and couch, jumping over the armrest and onto the blonde, pinning him face down.

He resisted momentarily, as he knew Taichi wanted him to surrender. "C'mon, Yagami, let me up," he half-heartedly pleaded, not really minding the brunette's body weight.

"Give me one good reason why I should."

"Because you're a fatty, that's why," he said, laughing as Taichi allowed him enough room to roll onto his back.

Even though he was in a more comfortable position, Yamato's laugher quickly vanished as he looked up and into the chocolate eyes of Yagami Taichi.

For once, Taichi's eyes held something that Yamato had never seen before, causing his insides to turn fuzzy and his body warm.

"Do you have any idea how beautiful you are right now?" the brunette asked, barely above a whisper, staring deeply into Yamato's wide azure eyes as he gently caressed the boy's cheek with the back of his hand.

"Yagami Taichi!"
