Disclaimer - Do you think I would be writing this right now if I owned Digimon? Here's a hint, it looks kind of like, 'no'. Pretty simple, huh?
A/N: I am addicted to "Where Is The Love" by Black Eyed Peas and "HootNanny" by Bubba Sparxxx, I think everyone should go download those songs right now... Sorry, that was random. I also have a strange urge to write a Taisuke, like full blown Taisuke...and a Yamasuke. Hm, maybe. Anywho, thank you so much for the reviews! Give me more! ^^ Oh, and I'm also apologizing for my idiot self at the end of this chapter. Sometimes I embarrass myself. ^^;;
Warning: Taito-ish goodness ahead, just to let y'all know! ^_~
Behind The Curtain - Chapter Five
"Urgh?" Was the only sound that left Daisuke's mouth. Taichi's arched an eyebrow at the red head. "W-why?" He choked out, he could feel his face heat up. Taichi just shrugged.
"I couldn't really tell you." He stated simply. "One minute he was fine, the other he looked like he was going to wring my neck out."Daisuke swallowed thickly. "Abusive relationship?" He asked quietly.
"What relationship?!" Taichi answered. He stood up abruptly from his spot on the couch, his arms flailing around chaotically. "I've only known him two damn days!" After the outburst, Taichi laughed nervously scratching the back of his head. "Sorry." He said sitting down quickly. "But, the last two days have been so odd. He snapped at me two days ago for god knows why, and yesterday he just about beat the crap out of me." The two young men were silent for a few minutes before Taichi spoke again. "There's something about him though..." He trailed off.
Daisuke just nodded, he wasn't sure what he was supposed to say, but he figured he should say something. So he said the first thing that came to mind. "Are you going to go see him today?" Taichi just shrugged helplessly. He didn't know. He didn't know anything. He wanted to go see the blonde, but what if something happened and he went berserk on Taichi again? It was like Yamato turned into someone completely different. Taichi didn't know what to make of it.
"It felt like I was walking on egg shells," Taichi said randomly. "And just when I thought I could let my guard down he came and just about beat my ass." The brunet sighed. "When I first met him, he seemed okay. Now I'm starting to think he's not all there." He tapped his temple, signaling what he meant. Daisuke nodded.
"But, what if you see him again? He might hurt you worse this time around." Daisuke contemplated outloud.
Taichi sighed. "I don't know, but I think I'm going to go back to bed." He said standing up, wincing at the pain that shot through his side. He started walking towards his bedroom. "Dai, see yourself out, huh?" He asked tiredly, not facing the red head.
"Sure." Daisuke answered, nodding slightly. He got up from his spot on the couch and made his way out of the apartment.
Sighing, Taichi crawled into bed. He was finally going to get the much needed sleep he deserved. It was the first time he hadn't gone to work in over a year. He had forgotten what if felt like to sleep in. The only days he ever had off was every other Sunday, and he usually spent those at his parents or sitting at home doing something work related. He also had some Saturdays off, but he was an official workaholic. He never went out, which made his friends angry.
His mother always asked him if he'd found someone to be with yet. Taichi never could figure out why she asked, the answer was always no. He was quite content on where he was. She worried night and day about him. Always telling him that he needed a sense of security. And being with someone was going to help that? He had enough security. Waking up next to someone everyday would take that way. At least if you're alone you can't get hurt.
At that thought, Taichi's mind went back to Yamato. He fell asleep to images of the blonde.
When Taichi awoke he noticed it was about 2:30 in the afternoon. He sighed and dragged himself out of bed. He figured he'd have some breakfast, er, lunch. He walked out into the kitchen, and started searching the cupboards. When he didn't find anything, he sighed. He walked back into his bedroom, and got dressed. He went into the bathroom and brushed his teeth. He glanced into the mirror and noticed that his hair wasn't exactly attractive, but he just ran a hand through it. He wasn't trying to impress anyone anyway.
He grabbed his keys on the way out of the apartment. Taichi was going to have to pass Yamato's apartment to get to where he was going. He contemplated on stopping or not. He sighed, and pulled into the parking lot of the blonde's apartment complex.
Taichi stood before Yamato's door, at least, he hoped it was the blonde's door. He was kind of nervous. What if the blonde wasn't home? Or worse, what if he was? Oh, stop, Yagami, he thought. He knocked on the door quickly, and silently prayed that the blonde wouldn't answer. When the brunet thought his prayers were going to be answered the door opened. Taichi just stared at the icy blue eyes studying him. When Yamato arched an eyebrow at him, he cleared his throat.
"Hey," He greeted weakly. "Are you busy?" The blonde shook his head. Taichi nodded in return, licking his lips. "Well, I'm going to go get some food, and was wondering if you'd like to join me?" Taichi was taking a big step here. Even so, he refused to think that he just asked the blonde out... Like, on a date. He didn't even know why he wanted the blonde to come with. It was just a split second kind of thing.
Yamato just stared at the brunet, and Taichi started to get uncomfortable. The icy blue were was scrutinizing him like it was some sort of trick that the brunet was playing. Finally Yamato nodded and moved aside, gesturing Taichi to come in. Taichi sighed, but he didn't know if it was a sigh of relief. He watched as Yamato disappeared into one of the rooms. He could feel the nervousness rise in his stomach. This scenario felt vaguely familiar. Taichi stared at the door Yamato had gone through. He braced himself for the worst. Finally the door opened and Yamato was fully dressed. Taichi examined him for a few seconds, finally deciding that the blonde hadn't changed any.
Deep blue eyes stared at Taichi expectantly, but the brunet were too preoccupied with the depth of the blue orbs too notice. Yamato's blue eyes held so much, yet so little. "Are we going to go?" The blue eyed beauty asked finally. Taichi nodded slowly, never taking his eyes from Yamato's.
When Taichi had finally snapped out of this daze they were at a local restaurant. He couldn't remember driving them there, but they were there no less. It made Taichi worry, anything could have happened between then and now. He shook off the feeling though. The two sat down in a booth, Taichi on one side, Yamato on the other. The waitress brought them menus, and Taichi thanked her with a smile. It felt weird to be out somewhere with someone. It felt weird to be out period.
The brunet looked around the restaurant, and noticed a couple of his friends. He panicked, and picked up the menu quickly. He hid his face with it, hoping they wouldn't notice him sitting there. He looked over at Yamato, and the blonde was giving him a weird look. Taichi just gave him a smile. "Find what you want yet?" He asked quietly. Yamato raised an eyebrow at his behavior, but nodded. Taichi nodded in return. "Okay," He said. "I already know what I want."
Yamato nodded. "Why are you doing that?" He asked, meaning the menu.
"Um, well... I, uh..." Taichi didn't know what to tell the blonde. He couldn't tell him that he was hiding from his friends. It wouldn't sound right, but was it because he didn't want them to meet Yamato? That's all Taichi needed, Yamato to go crazy in a public place... In front of his friends no less.
Yamato looked around the restaurant. His eyes landed on a couple of people that were laughing and carrying on. He gave Taichi a scrutinizing look. "You're hiding." He stated simply like it was a well known fact. Taichi opened his mouth to protest, but Yamato cut him off. "Are they you're friends or something?" Taichi sighed. It wasn't going to make things any better if he lied to the blonde.
"Yes," He muttered. Yamato just nodded and stared at Taichi's friends. Finally the waitress came back, and took both of the menus. Taichi protested at first, but then finally let the waitress take the menu from him.
"What are you having?" She asked slightly annoyed at how Taichi had acted.
Yamato gave his order, and Taichi said he would have the same. Once the waitress left, Taichi slouched in his seat, praying that his friends wouldn't see him. He watched as they were starting to leave, and thanked god. But, one of the guys looked back and spotted him.
"Hey, Tai!" He yelled through the restaurant. Taichi closed this eyes slowly cursing however was putting him through hell. All the people leaving came back into the restaurant, and made they're way to Taichi and Yamato. "What are you doing out?" The guy said.
Taichi shrugged helplessly. "Eating." He replied. "And trying to do it in peace." He figured he'd hint to them that they needed to go away. He looked up at the four people pointedly. They looked at Yamato, and one of the girls smiled.
"And who might you be?" She asked. Yamato just stared at her.
"He's a friend, Sora." Taichi answered quickly. "We'd really like to eat though." He hinted again. Sora glared at Taichi, but then turned her attention back to Yamato.
"What's your name?" She asked, eyeing the blonde. Yamato arched an eyebrow at her, then looked at Taichi; who just shrugged helplessly.
"His name is none of your damn business." Taichi growled, he had said it before he could even think. It was like a spurt of jealous had flown through his blood. So quickly it was there and then it was gone. Sora stared at Taichi, her eyes wide.
The other girl giggled. "Taichi's got a boyfriend!" She squealed. Taichi glared at her.
"He's not a fucking boyfriend!" He yelled. "We're just here trying to eat in peace... And that means leave us the hell alone!"
The four cursed at the brunet, but finally left. Taichi sighed, and muttered, "God, they're so fucking annoying."
He could feel Yamato gaze, but he wasn't ready to look the blonde in the eye and explain. He knew he'd have to be wondering the same thing Taichi was about himself. He had gotten defensive for no reason. And now Yamato knew Taichi's dirty little secret... that he's gay. He didn't know why it bothered him so much. The worst the blue eyed beauty could do is get up and walk out, but for some reason Taichi didn't want that. He was already somehow attached to the blonde, which he knew couldn't be a good thing.
Finally Taichi looked up. He didn't even have time to react, he was caught in the deep blue eyes once again. He felt like the blonde was searching him for something, what, he didn't know. All he did know was that he felt naked and vulnerable, like he couldn't hide anything from the blonde. He didn't like that feeling too much. He averted his gaze quickly, he wasn't going to let the blonde get away with it that easy.
He was glad when they're food came, at least now he would have something to occupy his time. He grabbed a fork and dug in. After a few moments, he looked up at Yamato quickly. The blonde's eyes were fixed on his food. Taichi watched him, the way he ate his food. He wouldn't take another bite until the food in his mouth was gone first. His chewing was drawn out. Taichi found himself staring. When the blonde looked up at him, he started to cough uncontrollably.
"Are you okay?" Yamato asked worriedly. Taichi nodded but kept coughing; finally when he regained his composure, he was blushing uncontrollably. He'd been caught red handed.
He coughed one last time, and held up a hand. "I think I'm good now." He grabbed the first glass of water he saw, and took a big swig of it. When he set it back down on the table he noticed Yamato was looking at him funny. "What?" Taichi asked.
"That was my water." Yamato stated simply like it was a well known fact. Taichi bit his bottom lip, he opened his mouth to say something, but was silenced by Yamato. Taichi knew something was going to happen. He knew that Yamato was going to get all psycho and make a scene. Taichi could see it...
The blonde would yell and scream about something that Taichi wouldn't get anyway. Then he would pull Taichi from his seat and throw him on the table, climbing on top of Taichi in the process. Then the blonde would rip Taichi's shirt off and kiss his mouth deeply (among other body parts ^_~)... And they would end up making love right there in the restaurant.
Taichi's eyes widened and he gasped slightly. When did Yamato beating the shit out of him turn into something... Something like that? He looked down at his lap and noticed that he was... Was kind of aroused. He looked up and Yamato, and the blonde was staring at him with an eyebrow raised. "Is there something the matter?" He asked.
The brunet shook his head furiously. "N-No. No, nothing at all." He was blushing uncontrollably. This was great, Taichi couldn't just sit there in the middle of a crowded restaurant with his little buddy all excited. It wasn't like it obvious or anything (hence the sarcastic-ness). A waitress walked by, and he snatched a menu from her quickly. He stood up using the menu to hide his arousal. He laughed nervously as Yamato gave him a strange look. "Here, look at this whilst I go to the bathroom." He said, stuffing the menu in the blonde's face and took off towards the back of the restaurant.
Taichi dashed into the bathroom and thanked god that it was a single. This was not happening. Since when did Taichi get excited about Yamato? Hm, since you started having little x-rated thoughts about him, he thought to himself. There was no way he was going to jerk off in a public bathroom though. Okay, Tai, you can do this, he thought. Think cold showers. Better yet, think Sora in the shower. Taichi shuddered at that thought. He glanced down at himself and sighed. It had worked, his arousal had gone down, not entirely, but now it wasn't as noticeable.
The brunet went to open the door, but then thought, Yamato in the shower, Taichi cursed himself, With me. He was never going to be able to leave the bathroom. "Damn." He cursed aloud.

(This is the part where the author talks nothing but her moronic randomness, 'cause lord knows if no one thinks she's an idiot now, you will after you read the crap below...)
Ahem, I don't want to change the rating... So I'm not, but if it gets any worse--I'm going to have to. I'm not planning on it getting any worse, but then again, I wasn't planning on actually writing that part. But, I figured I've been mean enough. That's for everyone who wants a lemon. It may not be a lemon, but hey, Yama made Tai horny... Not intentionally, but be happy with what you got, damn it! ^^
Believe me though, I really wasn't going to put that in there. I mean, it was a part of the story at first, but then I thought I shouldn't put it in. Well, I put it in for all the reviewers. And, I've decided to put up a quick site, so anyone who wants to, can read the NC-17 things, 'cause lord knows I'm dying here trying to take everything NC-17 out of my fics. I'm telling you, half this story will be gone if I do (now you know what to expect ^_~). But, the link is in my bio... The site isn't up yet, but you can go bookmark it for later viewing! ::wink-wink::nudge-nudge::
Well, give me your feedback on this chapter. Hopefully not very many of you are too disappointed. ^^;; Anyway, enough of me and my stupid randomness! Everyone review! Share the love! ^^;; -Ciao
