Chapter Two-Yamato's POV

I sighed explosively as I entered my apartment. I stepped into the living room and looked around for any sign of my dad or Takeru. I smiled and closed the door behind me. I threw my backpack down on the couch and walked into the kitchen.

Grabbing the phone off of the counter, I swung open the refrigerator door. I glanced at its contents as I deftly dialed Kamu's number.

"Hello. This is the Jisuru residence. How may I help you?" said the voice on the other end of the line.

"Hi," I replied, trying to hold in my excitement. "Is Kamu there?"

"Yamato?" I heard someone else pick up a phone.

"Hey," I said as his mother hung up her end of the line. "How was your first day of school?"

"Oh, pretty average. Just like last year's, well almost," he spoke. I nodded my head while pulling out some ham, cheese, and lettuce. "What about yours?"

"Mine? It was…it wasn't fun," I said steadily, trying to keep my emotions under control. I jumped and grabbed the bread. I turned around to the cupboard, holding everything in one hand. I set the food down and reached to get a plate.

"Why not?" I jumped when I remembered that I was still talking to my koibito. "Was it because of-"

"In some ways," I began making the sandwich and spoke calmly. "It was really weird. I mean, most of my friends didn't even pay attention to the fact that I'm gay, but I went through the whole day without seeing Taichi. His sister still hung out with me, as did T.K. and Koushiro."

I was interrupted by a slight beeping. "Oh, I'll be right back; call waiting."

I quickly switched over to the call. "Yamato?"

"Dad? Hey!" I said slightly surprised. "Where are you?"

"Oh, I'm still at work. I wont be home until around ten or so. Takeru is at your mom's. How was school?"

"Good," I lied. I didn't want my dad to get too worried about me. "I'm on the phone with Kamu, is that all you needed to say?"

"Yeah. Finish your homework, son."

"Yes, dad," I groaned. "I'll see you later."

"Alright," he hung up and I sighed while switching back to Kamuran.

"Hi, you there?"

"Yeah," he said happily.

"I was wondering if you don't have too much homework, maybe you could come over and have some pizza? My dad's not getting home until ten."

"Yeah, sounds great," I felt my heart skip a beat. "Should I come over now?"

I turned my head to glance at the clock. "How about you come around six? It's four-thirty now."

"Okay! See you soon," I heard the click of the phone and set it down in the receiver. I smiled and slowly bit into my sandwich.

~§~§~§~§~

I nervously glanced out the window and then back to the clock. I felt my legs lift and I began pacing the room. I nearly flew through the ceiling when the doorbell finally rang. I rushed to the door and flung it wide.

I felt myself blushing when I looked into the round hazel eyes in front of me. I smiled and stepped aside to let him in. he nodded and walked into the room.

"Sorry I'm late," he said glancing at the grandfather clock in the entrance hall.

"It's ok. So…ahh…what do you wanna do?" I asked him nervously.  He blushed and turned away.

"I don't know. What do you want to do?" I grabbed his hand and pulled him close.

"How about we go and get the pizza and then come back here," I said pressing my lips close to the soft flesh of his ear. He nodded and gripped my hand harder.

Suddenly, I felt him dragging me out the door. "Wait I don't have the money!"

I scrambled back across the room and grabbed the bills off of the counter. I turned around to see Kamu tapping his foot in mock impatience. I laughed and rejoined him. We walked out the front door and I quickly locked it.

I felt my voice catch in my throat as the elevator doors opened. Out stepped Taichi. Kamu smiled at him, oblivious to the way he looked at me. His anger changed to surprise when he realized what Kamu was. Then I saw that they changed to something else. Contempt? Jealousy? No, it couldn't be. Tai looked away.

We took the elevator down to the ground floor and stepped out. Kamuran raced ahead and I followed him reluctantly. He stopped and turned around and me.

"C'mon Yama! I'm starving," I managed a weak smile and waved to him. He spun back around and ran on ahead. I looked behind me. There stood Taichi, staring down at me from the balcony in front of his apartment. I almost wanted to forgive him. I turned away and followed my aibou.

~§~§~§~§~§~

I gently rested my head on Kamu's shoulder. He brought his arm around me and held me close as we sat watching the movie. I flicked a glance at the clock on the VCR. I yawned. My dad wasn't getting back for at least an hour and a half. I snuggled my head deeper into Kamu.

He softly pressed his lips onto my forehead. I smiled and reached my head up to kiss his cheek. I felt his arms wrap about me and I lay down on my back. I felt him gently caressing my neck and ears with his skilled mouth and tongue. I held his head in my hands and brought it up to my own face.

Our lips meshed together and our tongues flitted in unison. I felt his hands slowly massage various parts of my body and I let a low moan escape my throat. Kamu, enjoying this torture, only kissed the harder. His hands were gradually descending downward. I groaned again as he fondled my navel. I felt myself go stiff.

Suddenly, I realized that his fingers were busily unzipping my pants. "Kamu!"

He looked up innocently, moving towards the belt buckle. "Yeah?"

I stood up furiously and began fixing my pants. "Look, I can't do this. I'm sorry."

"You're a virgin, aren't you?" He looked down at his hands. I gulped.

"How, How'd you know?" I couldn't bear the hurt in his eyes. He remained silent. "Kamu?"

"It was the way you jerked upward when I started… I'm sorry. I just assumed that you'd- that you'd had sex before," his eyes turned to me. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"I didn't think that you'd still like me," I sat back down on the couch next to him. I cradled my head in my hands and allowed the tears to gently fall. He wrapped his arms about me and poured out my worries to him.

"I'm so sorry. I just didn't know what you'd think of me. I mean, you're the best thing that's happened to me in a long time. I didn't want to ruin that," I leaned away from him and looked deep into his hazel eyes.

"It's alright, it's alright," he comforted. I sighed and stared at him. I couldn't bring myself to maintain eye contact and I stared at the ground. "I don't blame you, I'd probably do the same thing."

I felt him put his hand underneath my chin and lift my head up to face him. I could feel his face nearing my own.

I nearly jumped out of my pants when I heard the front door swing open. "Yamato, I'm home early!"

Kamu pulled back just in time. I could see the look of disappointment on his face when my dad stepped into the room and looked at us suspiciously.

"Hey dad!" I said, allowing Kamu to regain himself.

My dad glanced at his watch. "It's getting late and you boys have school tomorrow."

"Yeah you're probably right. I'd better head on home," I stood up with Kamu and walked him to the door. I slowly opened it and watched as he stepped out onto the landing.

"I'll talk to you later, okay?" I said as he turned to look at me. He nodded and leaned over to gently peck my cheek. I sadly watched as he headed down the hall to the elevator. I brought my hand up to my face and rubbed my cheek where he'd kissed me. I hoped I hadn't disappointed him too much.
