It's Not That Bad by Yaoi Girl

*Beep, beep, beep*

Yamato jumped down from the counter he was sitting on and walked over to the microwave, opening it, and cautiously removed the puffed and steaming bag and shook it a couple times before opening it and dumping half of the hot contents into a small bowl for Satoshi, not saying a word the entire five minutes he and Taichi were in the room.

The brunette sighed, still sitting on his counter, having caught the drift. "Look, Yama…I'm sorry. It was an accident…Satoshi's shoes were right there and…"

"Don't worry about it," he replied softly as he scooped up the bowl and walked out of the room.

Chasing after him, Taichi called, "C'mon Yamato. I know you're upset about it, but I didn't do it on purpose. Honestly."

Seemingly ignoring him for the time being, the blonde walked across the room, smiling, and handed the small bowl of fluffy kernels to Satoshi, who was happily seated on the floor in front of the TV.

"Thanks, Yama-chan!" the boy said, smiling up at him momentarily, then focused back on the movie.

"Any time, little dude," he said, ruffling the boy's teal hair, then walked back across the room and sat down on the couch, looking up at the brunette, who was still standing in the doorway, hands on his hips and a slight glare visible. "Are you gonna sit down? If not, I'll just lay down here and take a nap while you baby-sit," he said as he began to slowly lay down, the glare in Taichi's eyes changing to a look of pure lust, but he wouldn't go that far with Yamato, not yet. He didn't want to push him anymore than he already had.

"Scoot your butt back over there, Ishida, or do I have to make you?" Taichi asked, smiling as he sat down next to the blonde, who laid his head on Taichi's shoulder and watched the movie.

"You're too bony, you know that, Yagami?" Yamato said, lifting his head up and poking the brunette's shoulder with his finger.

"You didn't complain any at the movies today," he retorted, smiling as the blonde stuck his tongue out at him. "Don't do that unless you plan on using it for something else…"

Yamato continued to stick his tongue out for a few more seconds before pulling it back into his mouth. "That's what I thought. You threaten, but that's it, but then again, you can't do anything to me while he's in here, can you?"

Taichi leaned heavily back into the couch, grumbling, while Yamato smiled victoriously, laying his head back down on the brunette's shoulder, shifting a bit to get more comfortable, pausing for a moment as his hand brushed against Taichi's.

Yamato quickly got uncomfortable again, once again shifting, but this time when his hand touched Taichi's, he left it there, glancing at the boy to see if he was going to do anything, but he didn't move, as he still seemed to be pouting about what Yamato had said. 'Here goes nothing…' Yamato thought as he gently opened Taichi's hand, lacing their fingers slowly, hesitantly, relived when the brunette responded to the gesture.

They sat like that for about five minutes or so in silence, with the exception of the movie, until…

"Yama-chan, Tai-chan. I'm thirsty!"

Taichi puffed his cheeks and exhaled through his nose, trying to keep from groaning. "Alright. What do you want? Water, milk, juice?"

"Orange juice!" he said, then turned and looked over his shoulder. "And Tai-chan?"

As the brunette stood he looked down at the boy.

"Can I have some more popcorn?"

"Sure. Give me your bowl," he said, reaching down and picking up the bowl that was slid across the floor to him.

"I'll get it if you want me to," Yamato said.

"No; I'm baby-sitting, so I'll do it," he replied and left the room.

"Hey, Yama-chan?"

"Yeah?"

"Do you like the movie?"

"Of course I do; if I didn't, I'd probably be asleep."

"I love this movie! I could never fall asleep while it was on."

"Here. Try not to spill it; we don't have any sippy cups here."

"I'm a big boy! I don't need a sippy cup anymore, Tai-chan!" Satoshi protested, glaring with narrowed amber eyes.

"Whoa! Take it easy, dude! I was only playing!" Taichi said, eyes wide, as he didn't think the boy would say anything.

Satoshi 'humphed' and went back to watching his movie.

Taichi plopped down onto the end of the couch, laying back on the armrest and had his legs as far up on the couch without them being on Yamato, hands under his head as he closed his eyes, only to open them as he felt a heavy, but pleasant warmth lay upon him.

Yamato now lay with his head on Taichi's chest and arms wrapped around him as he watched the movie. "Why didn't you lay down to being with? This is a lot more comfortable than your bony shoulder."

Smiling, the brunette removed one of his arms from under his head and placed his hand on the blonde's back, lazily moving it along the boy's spine, making him shiver slightly.

"Are you getting sleepy Yama-chan? Tai-chan, you should share the couch so Yama-chan doesn't have to lay on you," the small boy said to the now wide-eyed pair.

Gaining his ability to speak again, Yamato said, "Yeah, I'm getting sleepy, Satoshi, but there aren't any blankets in here, so Taichi's keeping me warm, and I'm keeping him warm."

"Oh. I need some more juice…" he said weakly, offering his cup.

"I'll get it this time," Yamato said as he grabbed the cup from the boy's hands, Satoshi running and jumping back down into his spot, the blonde placing a quick kiss to the end of Taichi's nose before he stood and disappeared into the kitchen.

A few moments later, the blonde returned, handing the cup to Satoshi before taking his place back on Taichi.

"Thanks," Taichi said as he ran a hand through Yamato's soft blonde hair, stopping when his hand reached the base of the boy's skull.

"If you could kiss me now, I'd let you," Yamato said shyly, blushing, hesitantly looking into Taichi's chocolate eyes.

"Well, since I can't right now, can I take a rain check?" he teased.

"If you want to; I don't mind anymore," he said as he laid his head back on Taichi's chest.

"I'll keep that in mind," Taichi replied quietly as he continued to run a hand through Yamato's hair.

About ten minutes later, Satoshi looked over his shoulder and smiled. Quietly, he stood and tiptoed across the room and out of sight as the credits began to roll.

I know, I said it was only going to take me a day to get this chapter posted, but my muse needed a break; she was having an overload with me drawing pictures and thinking of new twists to throw in here. Anywho, I hoped you like! I'll have the next chapter up soon, I promise, and I bet you'll never guess what little Satoshi is up to. ^_^ I need to watch what I type more closely...This is the only chapter I've gone back and corrected my little mistakes...But what can you expect when it's almost midnight and you're low on energy?

Review please!
