Now that you're into part four I thought I might as well explain where I'm leading this and that there is a major anguish part coming up. I'm tried creating a perfect scene in which both Tai and Matt will act on impulse. I hope you enjoyed reading this as much as I did writing this!
Chapter 4: realization
"Yamato," Tai whispered and broke the silence they had since entering Yamato's residence. "A while ago, what I meant was true..." Taichi paused to catch Yamato's eye but once he realized Yamato wouldn't look at him he began again.
"From what I saw this afternoon, you and Sora talking. I knew then that you guys liked each other. All this time I've been blind. I didn't see how much she liked you. When we went to all those concert and she seemed to like that more than all the times she spent with me. I had no real idea what she was thinking. Yamato, I think you should go out with Sora. I was never the one she wanted."
The light switch had yet to be touched leaving the two boys in the darkness. In the dark setting Yamato eyes glowed. Taichi could not see Yamato's expression but under the circumstances he could guess what it was.
"Taichi, Sora is just a friend." Yamato sighed, he was frustrated and Taichi ramblings didn't help any. "Sora is nice and a great pal but I don't think a relationship with her will work. I can't see Sora as my girlfriend. She's not my type."
"Not your type!" Taichi's voice was loud enough to wake the dead. "She cares about you. She's always there to cheer at your concert. She gives you gift after gift. I know now that she loves you and you're saying she's not your type. Then what is your type? A girl that would hates you. Really Yamato, what kind of girl would you like? A girl that would sweep the floor with you, tell me."
"Shut up!" Yamato yelled as he threw the first punch. It connected with Taichi's jaw sending him flying. "It's none of your business what I do with my life!"
Taichi sprawled on Yamato's floor so shocked that he could do nothing but touch his face. Finding his lip cracked and bleeding he did the only thing he could think of, give Yamato one in return. He pulled himself up and charged after Yamato with a new found determination in his eyes. "I won't let you lead Sora on." His fists made contact with Yamato stomach and face.
Yamato fell back with a bloody lip and the wind knocked out of him. His chest heaving as he struggled to get up. He wouldn't lose to Taichi. He wouldn't be weak. When he finally rose Taichi was there by his side still angry from that first punch. Yamato still out of breath swung his fist and Taichi dodged easily. "I don't care what you think." The other fist though, hit Taichi's stomach leaving him in the same condition as his friend. They struggle to throw blow that missed every time. Taichi led Yamato to the wall where the fair-haired boy couldn't escape.
"So, you don't care what I think?" Taichi madder than ever. He wiped the flowing blood away from his mouth and stared into Yamato's eyes demanding answers from the blue depths. He watched as Yamato tried to find a way out of answering the question but Taichi had Yamato's hands pinned to the wall and wasn't letting go anytime soon. Once realizing he couldn't break free Yamato eyes soften. Taichi anger melted away when he noticed Yamato's eyes.
They could only stare at each other. Taichi with a cracked lips and Yamato with one to match. Blue eyes watching brown ones, Yamato watched Taichi and waited for the final blow to prove Taichi had won. Yamato's endless blue eyes studied Taichi, waiting for the last hit. Several minutes later he realized there wasn't going to be one. His eyes widened and a word formed from his battered lips. "Why?"
Taichi stared transfixed at Yamato's cerulean eyes, so soft and kind that his own muddy eyes refused to look away. Without Tai's permission his hands had somehow went from Yamato wrists to Yamato's hair. His hands ran through the golden strands separating them from the rest that were settled on Yamato's head. His eyes pulled away from Yamato's eyes for a brief moment to notice Yamato's mouth. He had never once kissed Sora but right now he didn't really care if he had. He wanted Yamato now. He wanted everything that had to do with him. He wanted to know Yamato, how Yamato thought, what he liked, how he tasted. Taichi had to know. He edged himself closer until their noses touched. He paused to stare into Yamato's eyes and fixed them there as he closed the distance letting his lips pressed against Yamato's. What he felt was pure heaven. Yamato's lips were soft and fit against his own. It made him wonder why this didn't happen sooner. He wanted more, though. Taichi's tongue slipped out of his mouth and pressed against Yamato's lips begging for better access. When Yamato mouth opened Taichi was caught by surprised. Did Yamato want him just as much? When Yamato tongue lured Taichi's all logical thoughts stopped. He could only think about the taste of Yamato and followed it back into bliss.
Yamato arms pulled Tai's body closer. This is what he wanted all along wasn't it. He had always cared about Tai. Who was Always there to make him feel strong. Tai was his ideal. Why he didn't want a girlfriend was because they could never compare to Tai. The only person who made him happy. He wanted Tai like this. He wanted Tai's hands in his hair, Tai lips on his. He wanted Tai to love him like this.
Taichi felt Yamato's body pressed against his and blushed. He finally realized what he was doing and was confused by it. What the hell was he doing? Just because he was dumped doesn't mean he should kiss his best friend. He was in a panic he quickly pushed away from Yamato and broke the kiss. He couldn't look at Yamato anymore. He was too embarrassed even shocked by his actions. Yamato was probably going to end his life. The way he kissed him Yamato would probably never talk to him again. He sighed and turned toward Yamato. Might as well face the music but Yamato did kissed me back didn't he?
Tai met Yamato's eyes but only for a brief moment till the doorbell rang signaling their friends' arrival. "Is he really home? The lights aren't on. I have so much work to do. If he's not home I could go back home and get started on my homework for next week."
"I really need to use an outlet. My computer battery is almost dead."
"Guys, calm down. I'm sure Yamato is there."
Yup, their friends had come.
