CH 7: THE WEEK BEFORE
Yamato stood in front of the classroom door. He glanced inside of the classroom, it was filled with medical equipment and chairs. He was waiting for Taichi, he needed to break off the date. He didn't want to hurt Sora and he didn't want to feel guiltier then he already felt. He hoped that by telling Taichi Monday, he'd have enough time to ensure that Taichi broke off the date witht the girl.
He had gotten out of his forensics class early and was hoping Taichi wouldn't stay after class again to flirt with the teacher. Luckily, Taichi was one of the first out of the class. His face had a tint of green in it as he noticed Yamato.
"Hey, Yamato, have you ever watched a c-section?" Yamato shook his head. "Well, don't! I feel so sorry for women that have that happen to them. Its like being ripped open!" Yamato sighed and escorted his ranting friend to the café.
"Listen, Taichi," Yamato said as he sat across from his friend. Taichi looked at him, the green tint gone from his face. "I don't think I ca-" Yamato was cut off as Faye and Sora walked up to the table. They both held two cups of a steaming liquid.
"What are two babes like yourself doing here?" Taichi asked, taking the drinks from Faye so she could take the seat next to him. Sora took the seat next to Yamato and handed him a drink.
"It's chai tea. I think its really good. Faye ordered the same for all of us." Sora said quietly. Taichi side glanced Faye who looked just as puzzled.
"Sora, honey, are you nervous about Friday?" Sora nodded and sighed. Yamato glanced at her, his eyes covered by his usual mask. She stared at the froth in her drink.
"Oh, yeah, Yamato was just talking about something, go ahead and finish it up." Taichi said warmly. Yamato raised an eyebrow and looked from Taichi to Faye.
"Are you two going out or something?" Faye smiled as Taichi pulled her closer to him in a protective manner.
"So what if we are. You said clearly that you weren't interested in me, Yama." Taichi said in his most smug voice. Yamato was about to lunge at Yamato, when Sora put her hand on his thigh. He froze and calmed down immediately.
"Ha ha. I know, Taichi, but I thought you and Mimi were doing the S&M on the side. She's your diagram for Gynecology, isn't she?" Yamato spat out. All eyes were steaming at Yamato. His humor had crossed the line this time. Yamato glanced at Taichi, Faye and then Sora. He had to keep himself from breaking down and killing himself for allowing the pain in her eyes to exist. Yet, at the same time, the stress of his deal with Taichi was started to take its effect on him.
Taichi growled under his breath.
"I always wanted to know why you hated Mimi so much. She was always the one who you couldn't stand when we got back from the Di-from summer camp." Taichi hissed, his voice filled with disgust and hiding an ulterior motive. Yamato stood up and grabbed his trench coat and backpack.
"Listen, Yagami, it's my own reason for holding resentment towards Mimi. I don't think I want to share it with you. Especially when her best friend is sitting besides me." He glanced at Sora allowing her to see the apologetic look in his eyes, before he turned back to Taichi. "Why the hell would you protect her if you're with Faye? Huh?!" Yamato didn't care that the chatter of the café had stopped and were now focused on him. "Is it true? Are you screwing Mimi while you're with Faye? Pretty good for your relationship, Yagami. If I were you I'd drop one of them and since Mimi seems to be helping you in school, maybe you should keep her and ditch the American!" He didn't feel any remorse when he saw Taichi flinch at the impact of Yamato's insults. Faye glared at him, her eyes filled with confusion and anger.
"FUCK YOU, Ishida! Just Fuck you! Maybe I shouldn't even help you and your pathetic, jealous ego! No girl in their right mind would ever Fuck you any way! She'd have to be pretty pathetic and so fucking drunk that she didn't know if she was a man or not!" Taichi fumed at Yamato, his arm in front of Faye as if it would deflect anything that tried to attack her. His other hand balled into a fist, begging Yamato to start a fight, wanting to spill his blood over that cold and revolting face.
"Go ahead and admit to everyone that you're fucking that damn whore! Not like there's any difference! I mean, she's probably to dumb to know the difference between a dick and you're nose- wait their both so small you wouldn't be able to decipher the difference either way." Faye wrapped her arms around Taichi to keep him stationary. While Sora stared at both guys, still seated in her seat. Then Faye noticed that Sora held the edge of Yamato's trench coat and was looking like she was taking a mental beating.
"Why the hell did I even want to help you and your pathetic love life? Yeah, sure Mimi and I are friends, but I'd never let her cheat on Jyou like that, so fuck that little accusation of yours!" Sora's eyes flew to Yamato's trying to read his emotions, trying to see if Taichi was telling the truth.
"Fuck it Yagami!" Yamato said as he turned, not even trying to take the trench coat from Sora. He walked out of the café, with only his backpack over his blue t-shirt.
~\/. /\_/\ .\/~
Yamato knocked on the door to Takeru and his apartment. He waited a few seconds before opening the door with his key. "Takeru?" Yamato called in, warning his brother of his arrival, while he tossed his shoes next to his brother's. Yamato shut the door behind him and realized that the shower was running. He shrugged and walked into his room, it was the same as he'd left it. He dropped his backpack on the floor and flung himself on his bed.
"Damn it!" Yamato murmured. "I fucked up this time." Yamato glanced at the photo on his bed stand. Sora, Yamato and Taichi sitting on a hammock. Yamato realized that the look in his eyes were that of a small child that had his most cherished toy taken form him. Observing the picture further more, Yamato realized that the 'toy' that had been taken away was Sora. She was laying on Taichi, both smiling happily while Yamato had forced his smile.
"Onichan, why are you so pissed?" Takeru asked as he plopped down besides his brother. "You normally don't come home on a week day and glare at a picture of Sora, Taichi and you unless something happened between you three. What happened?" Takeru asked, running a comb through his wet hair. Yamato looked at his shirtless brother.
"Taichi's a fag!" Yamato steamed, then unexpectedly, Yamato looked at his brother with a look of a betrayed puppy watching its owner leave him at the pound. "Why? Why did you let him set me up?" Takeru glanced around the room trying to think of an excuse to change the subject.
"How's college? You're ending first year now, aren't you?" Takeru glanced back at his brother hoping he'd take the bait.
"Takeru!" Yamato glared at his younger brother. "Now I know something's going on. Tell me!"
"I-I can't." Takeru said. "If you and Taichi are fighting I doubt that he'd want you to meet the girl anymore." Yamato stared at his brother trying to remember when Takeru had actually kept a secret from Yamato. Even when his mom and dad had bought Yamato a present that he wasn't supposed to know about, Takeru was there to tell him what they got him. It was their Christmas tradition to tell the other one every present they knew that was under the tree. When had Takeru grown up so much that he couldn't tell Yamato a secret?
There was a knock at the door and Takeru got up to answer it. Yamato sighed and grabbed his picture book to get a good one of him and his friends. Yamato stopped when he heard Takeru shut the front door.
"He's really pissed. I've never seen my brother like that. Do you have any clue why Yamato would do that?" It was Hikari's voice. Yamato assumed that Taichi had thought that he was at the dorm and had gone to his parents' until they would work things out or get another dorm. But Yamato refused to move from that dorm.
'It's where Sora and I first made love. I refuse to leave it to him!' Yamato thought. He stared down at a picture of Yamato, Takeru and Sora covered in cookie dough. Taichi and Hikari were tied up in the background, their hair a shade of red from the tomatoes thrown on them. Yamato smiled and put it on his stand.
"Yama?" Yamato glanced over his shoulder and found Sora, Hikari and Takeru standing in the door way. Yamato looked at Sora and looked away, his heart filled with shame. "I'll take care of it. You guys go on your date. No sex! Keep all clothes on and mouth only meet mouth, tongue stays in your mouth and hands can hold the other one's hand but no where else! Have fun." Sora smiled as Takeru and Hikari laughed and left the apartment.
"Here's your trench coat." Sora threw Yamato's jacket next to him.
"Thanks." Yamato murmured. He refused to look at Sora and she noticed it. She walked around the bed, stood in front of him and put her hands on her hips.
"Ishida Yamato!" Yamato didn't respond to her stern voice. "Yamato, why the hell did you act like that? Tell me!" Yamato remained quiet and aloof. Sora sat down next to him and took his hands in hers. "As your girlfriend, I believe I have every right to know. Please, Yama, tell me." Sora placed her hand under his chin and raised his head so she was looking him in the eyes.
'Stop!' Yamato's mind screamed as his eyes stared at Sora's. He couldn't stand the hurt and sorrow in her. 'Please, Sora, I love you! But I made such a fucking fool of myself that you would never want me back.' Yamato practiced in his mind. Yamato stared at Sora, his expression blank.
'Yama, look at me with warmth, please. I need you to tell me that everything's ok and that you were just stressed about finals and Taichi pissed you off and that's why you snapped. Yama?' Sora stared at Yamato's blank eyes, while she ignored the tears that started to flow from her own eyes. She brushed her lips against Yamato's and started to get up.
"Sora!" Before he even realized he had stood up, Yamato had Sora in his arms and was holding her to him trying to stop the tears by holding her. "I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you." Yamato repeated, his heart jumping at every word he said. Sora looked up at Yamato and smiled.
"Yama." Sora hugged him closer as the tears flowed from her eyes. "Why?" She asked in between sobs. Yamato laid her on the bed, her beneath and him hanging over her.
"Why, what?" Yamato asked, his voice calmer and warmer then when she had arrived.
"Your fight with Taichi." Yamato kissed her forehead.
"He made a bet with me and I had to say 'yes' or tell the others about us. I've felt terrible about it since he told me and I ran into you that night in the rain. He just pissed me off so much!" Yamato rolled over and laid on his side next to Sora, his hand on his head to keep it up and level with Sora's head.
"Why did you say those things about Mimi?" Yamato kissed Sora's lips and kept them there, until Sora pulled away. "Yama."
"You went and lived with her. She didn't even bother visiting you in the hospital. She didn't know how it felt to have both parents gone and not in your life. You didn't even think about coming to me, I knew how it felt and I wouldn't have been so self-centered if you needed advice or affection. Then she and her parents left for America and didn't even take you with them. How the fuck do you think I'm supposed to do? Watch and wait on the side lines as the girl I love was abandoned by her so called best friend. I couldn't tell you how I felt, because I was sure Taichi would kill me if I told you. Besides I was a fourteen year old that was living on his own, because his mother refused to take him and his father beat him every night."
Sora brushed Yamato's tears from his cheek with her thumb. "Yama." Sora kissed Yamato's lips and smiled. She knew that Yamato had to be telling the truth to bring his family life into the story. She sighed as Yamato stood up and looked at her.
"Gomen, Sora." Sora grabbed Yamato's hand in hers and smiled at him again. Yamato looked at her and half smiled as he pulled her up.
"Yama, what was the bet about?" Sora asked quietly as she looked into Yamato's eyes that emitted such warmth and caring now. She hesitated after the question, wondering if his response would take away the warmth.
"Sora, it ends Saturday, then I can tell you." Yamato kissed her forehead gently. "But no matter what I will not leave you." Sora looked at him confused, but nodded her head in understanding.
~\/. /\_/\ .\/~
"Onichan!" Takeru ran into the room, but stopped as he saw Sora in Yamato's arms. "Hikari, can you get me a drink, please!" Takeru shut the door behind him and glanced back and forth between Yamato and Sora.
"Sora, Onichan, what's wrong? Did something happen?" Yamato smiled.
"Sora and I are back on good terms." Takeru chuckled.
"My brother and Sora hiding their reationship from the group. This is so cool."
"I think it's romantic." Everybody froze as Hikari's sentence faded away.
"Takeru, I think you should take your girlfriend out of here." Sora hissed to the young blond boy. Yamato sighed and glared at Hikari.
"Hikari, you can't tell anybody, do you understand?!" Hikari understood, but grabbed Sora's hand and pulled her out of the room. Sora looked at Hikari waiting for the complaint.
"Sora, what the hell are you doing going out with Yamato!?" Sora sighed.
"I happen to be very into Yamato. We've been together since the beginning of the school year." Hikari's mouth fell open in shock. Hikari jumped at Sora and hugged her.
"I'm so happy for you! But you do know that you still have the blind date, right?!" Sora sighed as Hikari reminded her of the only secret she kept from Yamato. The one that could break their relationship forever.
