Sad Cafe is (c) to the Eagles

Digimon is mine, at least it will be when I rule the world.

this is part two, as in Taichi's PoV during and after, my best friend's gay, AKA deacon blues. And though the earlier story had just the song chorus, this will have the whole thing... not much of a chorus in this song.

Summery; He kept you're secret. he never treated you any different. And now, it could kill him.

Chapter three:

The clouds rolled in-

And hid that shore.

Now that glory train,

It don't stop here no more.

Now I look at the years gone by,

And wonder of the powers that be.

I don't know why fortune smiles on some-

And let's the rest go free!

Between the detectives, and all the questions, I don't remember much off the next.. week? days? At least nothing until the newspaper article.

Takeru and myself were dosing in Yamato's room. Koushiro came in and literally slammed a newspaper on the small table.

I glared at him, while Takeru and Yamato looked on in question. He said nothing in response, only turning heel. He was dark red .... very scary ...

Takeru moved first, picking up the paper as one might hold a small creature - when they were not sure if it was poisonous. He stood there ... face reddening to the same shade Koushiro had held. On second thought, Maybe darker.

'TK? What's wrong?'

Takeru looked to his brother, before handing the paper to me.

Front page headline : ' City's Latest Gay Attack'

I silently read the article, which continued on, bashing Yamato. Most of it was complete bullsh*t! Plus, it ended by all but saying that Yamato got what he deserved!

'Tai?'

I was so pssed off! I could feel hot, angry tears forming. The ones you get when you want to drop kick someone, but you can't.

'Tai?'

But what about Yamato? He was gonna have to live with this. Everyone was gonna believe the papers in thinking he was gay, when it was me instead. 'They bashed you Matt.' I finally said.

'What?'

He reached for the paper, folded in my hand. 'They screwed over the whole story. They don't have anything right.' I let go.

Yamato picked it up and began reading.

I tried to watch him read it, but I couldn't take it anymore. I rose, and left.

The others where out side the room, and looking how I felt. I commented on needing air...I think.

I met Mimi halfway. She was holding a newspaper, and was promising death to anyone who failed to stay 20 feet away. My mood brightened a little.

*sniff. almost done. I have one chapter left, and then the even shorter ending to it all.
