Moving to America by Yaoi Girl
'Mimi,
It's good to know there's at least one person here that I can get along with! I'm glad I've found Taichi too, but...
The night before he left, we told each other how we felt. That's when he told me his parents were forcing him to move, because he was in love with me and they didn't want there son going out with a guy. Or rather, they didn't like the fact that Taichi was in love with me. I don't understand how they were okay with us as best friends holding hands and snuggling and not approve of us as a couple. Sometimes I just don't get parents, or adults.
After he left, we would e-mail each other, but I noticed in his e-mails that he never said 'I love you' and it made me worry that he didn't like me anymore or there was someone else. He didn't e-mail me back after I asked him about it. I don't know what I did wrong, but I don't want him to know I'm here and have him thinking I'm stalking him now or something.
Yamato'
Mimi then folded the letter up and put it in her shoe box full of other notes from friends. 'He must still really care for him,' she thought as she opened one of her books to being studying. 'Now how am I going to get them together? I know!'
She smiled and grabbed for her notebook, beginning to write a note.
~*~
'What's this?' Yamato thought as a folded piece of paper fell from his locker and to his feet. He bent down and picked it up, smiling as he read who it was from. 'I'll read it during first hour.'
He shoved the note into his first hour book and grabbed his folder and paper, shutting his locker and heading to class.
No sooner that the teacher began to give the lecture, Yamato took the piece of paper from his pocket and quietly opened it.
'Yama,
I talked to Taichi yesterday, but don't worry; I didn't tell him you were here. Yet.
I've got a great plan if you're willing to give it a try. I realized how deep your feelings must still run for him after all this time, and I want to help get you two back together, if you want.
Here's the plan:
You stay 'hidden' for about another week and I'll subtly talk to Taichi about a friend coming to town (which would be you) and say that he's also from Japan and you want to meet him and my friends, so I'll have a sleepover at my house. He never refuses any of my parties! Neither do my friends, but don't worry, I won't have that many people over, and none of my friends are homophobic. Half of them are bi and the others don't see anything wrong with same-sex couples. So you're safe. As long as we keep you two from your usual fights.
Think about it and tell me if you want to try or if there's anything you want to change or add.
Mimi'
She had also scribbled her number and AIM screen name down for him on the bottom of the paper.
He folded the note back up and put it away after he had reread it and the plan several times, thinking everything over until he heard, "Ishida!!"
His azure eyes snapped up to the teacher who was now scowling at him, causing him to shrink back slightly in his seat, ignoring the whispers and snickering from the rest of the class. "Yes, sir?"
"Either you pay attention to your lessons or go to the office and get a withdrawal from this class! Now which is it going to be?"
"I'll pay attention, sir," he replied loud enough for the teacher to hear.
"Good answer. Your homework assignment is on the board. If you miss one problem on it, I'll give you an F for the assignment since you've paid attention to nothing I've said all hour. Is that clear?"
"Yes, sir."
Then the bell rang. Yamato quickly gathered his things and left, feeling the teacher's eyes bore into him as he left the room.
He sighed in relief once he was outside and knew the teacher was no longer looking at him, walking with his eyes shut for a few seconds until he bumped into something, or rather someone. A certain someone who wasn't supposed to know of his existence in America.
The brunette turned from his friend he was talking to, trying to find if the person had ran into him on purpose or accident, but found no one.
'That was a close one,' Yamato thought as he peeked around the corner of a stair-well, waiting for Taichi to leave.
Once the boy was no longer in site, he stepped out, looking around to make absolutely sure the brunette was gone before he went to his locker to get his things for his next class. 'I'll have to keep in mind to watch out for him tomorrow. I don't want that to happen again.'
~*~
That evening, Yamato decided to try out his cable internet, having just got it earlier that afternoon.
He was thankful that Mimi was online.
"Hey, Mimi. It's Yamato."
"I figured by the SN. SilentSadness? That actually seems to suit you. Anywho, wha'd you think of the plan?"
"I like it, but I don't know how long I'll be able to hide from him. I almost blew my cover today after the first class when I accidentally bumped into him. He didn't see me though, at least, I don't think he did."
"Just try your best. If you want to, I can change the date to this weekend, even though it'll be kinda short notice for the people I'm inviting over. I'm sure they won't mind though."
"That sounds fine with me."
"Actually, the longer we wait to do this, the more likely Taichi is to find out about your being here. Especially with all the girls talking about you."
"Yeah. Do you think I should try e-mailing him again?"
"Do what you want. Just make sure you don't tell him you're here."
"I know."
While he continued talking to Mimi about how things were in Japan before he left, he typed Taichi and e-mail.
'Taichi,
It's been a while. I was wondering what happened to you, like always. If that e-mail that I sent you a couple months ago bothered you, I'm sorry, but I think I have the right to know what's going on in our relationship, if we even have one anymore.
Dad and I finally moved and we're getting settled into our new place. We've only been here a couple days. It doesn't seem like such a bad place. The people here are really nice. I don't know if you should be jealous or not, but a lot of the girls and a couple of guys are talking about hot I am. ^_^ Nothing new, right?
Mimi e-mail me the other day and said that you quit playing soccer. Why? You love soccer. You probably loved it even more than me, even if our relationship lasted that one night. Basically, I'm curious to know what's been going on in your life, and if you're mad at me for some reason. If you're not talking to me because you're dating someone, tell me! Don't hide from me and make me hurt like this; I would never do something like that to you.
Love always,
Yamato"
It was only after he sent the e-mail that he realized his mistake. He had sent it on his new e-mail, not the one he used in Japan.
'Maybe he won't notice,' he thought, somewhat panicked. 'He may even delete it since it's a different e-mail, but my name will be there.'
To his surprise, Taichi had e-mailed him back the next morning.
'Yama,
Sorry I haven't e-mailed you back in forever, but as far as I knew, I was the last one to send anything. But I found out that my parents had been getting in my e-mail and deleting everything that you sent, so I have not clue what e-mail you're talking about. You're lucky they didn't get online last night, or I wouldn't have had the e-mail you just sent yesterday. Of course, I yelled at them for doing that and changed my password, so that may stop them. If you could, change the name to something I would know so that way they won't delete it, should they find out my new password.
About the soccer thing: I just didn't feel the urge to play anymore. I loved playing in Japan because you and all our friends were there to cheer me on. Here, it's like none or very few people care about who I am. Soccer's nothing here compared to back home. Especially without my friends.
And no, there is no one else. I still love you, but not like I used to. Since I haven't been getting your e-mails, I thought you didn't care anymore, so I thought less and less about you. And that's my parents' fault, and I'm sorry. I really am.
Where did you move to? You didn't tell me.
Wish you were here,
Taichi"
'If only he knew how close I was right now,' Yamato thought as he logged off and began to get ready for school. 'At least I know he considers me as a friend after all this time. I hate his parents...'
~*~
"You told him," Taichi stated darkly as he leaned on a locker next to Mimi's that morning.
"Told who what?"
"Yamato. You told him that I'm not playing soccer anymore. I asked you not to tell him anything about my life."
She turned to him, eyes narrowed darkly. "He's your best friend and he's worried about you. The least I could do was tell him that something's not right with you. He, of all people, knows how much you love soccer and that you wouldn't just quit out of the blue."
"Because you told him, I had no choice but to respond to him."
"Oh, just because I tell him something and he asks, you respond to that e-mail, but none of the others he's sent to you?"
Taichi averted his gaze, still slightly angry. "My parents were deleting them before I knew they even existed."
"At least you two are somewhat conversing again. It's not good to cut yourself off from friends like that, Taichi," Mimi scolded as the headed towards their first class. "By the way, I'm having a party this weekend. A friend I know is coming to stay and he wants to meet my friends."
"Who is it? One of them you've talked about before?" Taichi asked dully as he sat in his chair.
"Actually, yes. I have talked about him before. Several times, in fact."
"What's his name?"
She dropped her jaw in mock-surprise before opening her notebook with a smile. "You don't remember the guy I talk about the most?! Then I guess you'll just have to wait and meet him, then see if you remember who I always talk about."
"When?"
"Saturday night around 6. It's going to be a sleepover!" he cheered happily.
"Last time you had a sleepover, half of us woke up with hangovers and there was only one bathroom. I like your friends, but I don't want to be that close to them ever again!"
Mimi laughed, having stopped Taichi from continuing his questionings about the mystery boy. 'There's at least one I hope you'll like to be close to again...'

Yey! Half sleepy written chapter! Don't be surprised at how many mistakes there are, cause I can't catch them all when I'm half asleep and have a slight headache.
I just found out some bad stuff recently. The girl hosting my website's closing her account in a couple weeks cause she doesn't know what to do with her space, and she doesn't want to pay for it because I'm the only one using it, so if someone would be willing to host me....
