I quit my job this morning. My boss tried everything to get me to stay, but I refused. Everyone who worked there was sad to see me go and exchanged contact info with me. I didn't think that anyone would make a big deal about my leaving, but they did. They tried to put together a going away party--I managed to diffuse that idea at the last minute. The last thing I need is to be surrounded by a bunch of people I associate with work.
I had to withstand constant attacks by the girls all day. They kept hugging me and telling me how much they were going to miss me, they even managed to get me to agree to go to lunch with them. They were always trying to get me to go to lunch with them.
It was this agreement that led to my sitting in a restaurant surrounded by female employees being showered with questions.
"So, why are you quitting, Tai?" One of them asked.
There was no real way to avoid the question so I answered it. "My boyfriend asked me to."
"What?"
"And you just said yes?"
"Since when do you have a boyfriend?"
I held up a hand to stop the flow of questions. "Yes, I just said 'yes'. I've been dating him for a year now."
"And you never told us anything? That's mean, Tai." One of them whined. The others nodded in agreement.
"Well, I didn't think it relevant to our job. And you are always telling me about your problems, so.it never came up."
"You've been together a year and you've never said his name. What is his name by the way?"
"His name is." I looked up at the man that walked through the door and nearly died, it was none other than Yamato. I just stared at him wondering why he was here.
"Tai, what's his name?" She prompted when I didn't finish my sentence.
"Yamato." I breathed as he turned in my direction and spotted me.
"Hey, Chi," he said and smiled. I stood from my spot at the table and Yamato wrapped his arms around me.
"What are you doing here, Yama?" I asked. Yamato was never anywhere in the vicinity of my job and now he was at the diner down the street from it.
"I came to pick you up," he said placing a chaste kiss on my lips.
Everyone in the restaurant was now focused on the both of us. I was aware of all of their eyes burning into me trying to figure out how I was able to nab the most sought after celebrity in the country. I hated it--I can't stand being the center of attention, but I was confused. Yamato never picked me up from work and he never said anything about doing so this morning either.
"What?" I asked and I'm pretty sure that I sounded just as confused as I felt.
"I came to pick you up. Keru got tickets to this play or something and it starts in an hour. I came to get you so that we could meet up with him and Daisuke in time for the show."
"Tickets from where? I don't remember him saying anything about that."
"Dai, got the tickets and just called Takeru up a half hour ago. He said they're for a pretty good show. Keru wants you to come along so I came to get you. I went to your job and they said you were over here."
"Oh.?"
"So, you coming or what, Chi?"
"Hold on." I went back to the table to gather my things and apologize for leaving so early--A habit I picked up from Yamato. I then realized how rude I was being--Another thing I picked up from him (I usually never gave a damn about being rude). And introduced Yamato to my coworkers, who cooed over him and asked him for autographs and babbled about how I kept quiet about dating him before we left.
"So.Where is this show?" I asked after Yamato let me into his car.
"On the other side of town. We're supposed to meet Dai and Keru in a restaurant."
"Oh."
"Did you quit.?" he asked after a moment of silence.
"I did." Yamato sighed deeply before he pulled the car to the side of the road.
"Yama, what are you doing? I thought we had to meet Teeks and Dai."
"We do, but that's not so important right now."
"What?" I started to respond, but Yamato wouldn't let me speak any further.
"You didn't have to quit if you didn't want to," he whispered.
What is up with him? He's acting so weird. Last night he says he wants to take care of me, I agree and Yamato's ecstatic. And the next day he's trying to do what.? Get me to get my job back?
"What's the matter with you, Yama? I told you I would quit my job and I did. You say you want to take care of me and I'm letting you. What's wrong? I thought that this is what you wanted."
"I didn't want to force you into it. I never wanted to force you into anything." Yamato said while staring out of the window looking miserable.
"Yama." I said. "You never forced me into anything. I quit my job because I wanted to; I want to make you happy. You were right when you said I hated my job; I quit because I want to be with you, I want to be able to go with you when you're on tour. I want to let you take care of me."
Damn it. I don't know if I'm saying the right things. I've never had to reassure anyone before. I don't want Yamato to be hurt. I want it to go away and I don't even know if I'm helping him.
"Taichi." I looked up and Yamato was claiming my lips in the next instant, devouring me with the intensity of his emotion. His hand slipped up my shirt, brushing across one of my nipples and I pulled away.
I really don't care when and where Yamato wants to go at it usually, but I don't think I would be comfortable with his taking me while we were parked on a busy street in broad daylight with children walking around.
"Take me home, now," I breathed. That was all the encouragement Yamato needed to hear before he was pulling out of our parking spot and speeding toward our apartment. Needless to say, we didn't meet up with Teeks and Dai.
Takeru came home later that day, Daisuke with him, pissed as all hell and pretty much bitched Yama and I out for half an hour. After that we had dinner and everything was normal again. Takeru is scary as hell when he's angry. I really don't want to see that again--Ever. Yamato thought it was hilarious. That boy has a weird sense of humor.
~.~.~.~.~.~
"Taichi, wake up." I groan as Yamato tries to nudge me into consciousness and bury my head under the pillows hoping that he will take that as a sign to leave me alone. "Taichi," he growls as he snatches the pillow off of my head, "wake the hell up already."
"What do you want, Yama?" I growl upset at having been forcefully removed from the realms of unconsciousness.
"We have to help, Keru move today."
"What? Why?"
"Keru's moving today remember.? You volunteered to help.? None of this is ringing a bell is it?" he asked dryly.
"That was for today? I thought he said next month."
"That just goes to prove how much you don't listen."
"I resent that. I listen."
"Whatever. Get up." Yamato said as he snatched the blankets off of the bed and walked out of the room with them.
Half an hour later Yamato and I were carting boxes up three flights of stairs to Daisuke's apartment, while listening to Takeru whine about the meaning of fragile and respect for other people's property. Takeru's whining went on for an hour more before Yamato finally got fed up with it.
"You could always get off your ass and do the work yourself if you are having such a problem with the way we're moving you're shit, Keru." Yamato snapped.
"I'm moving stuff, too." He replied indignantly.
"Yeah.All the light ass shit." I chimed in. "I don't see you or Daisuke trying to carry any of this heavy ass shit."
"What the fuck is in these boxes anyway, Keru? I think you left all the heavy stuff back at me and Taichi's apartment."
"Wait a minute." I said as realization dawned. "You're making us move all your books!" I yelled.
"What??" Yamato screamed just as pissed as me.
"Well.not all of them." Takeru replied sheepishly. "Dai and I moved most of them yesterday."
"Well, fuck this." Yamato said as he dropped the box he was holding. "We could have been done half an hour ago, but no, you had turn us into pack horses because you and Dai are lazy bastards that don't want to do any heavy lifting." Takeru got this shocked look on his face and I started laughing and dropped the box I was carrying in the process. "These are the last two boxes, you and Dai can carry them the rest of the way. Taichi and I are leaving." He said grabbing me by the hand and dragging me after him.
"Bye, bye Teeks." I said while flashing him a smile and waving.
"I can't believe him." Yamato growled once we reached our apartment.
"It looks pretty empty in here now." I said as I surveyed the apartment. Takeru's things were no longer randomly splayed among my and Yamato's belongings--Left a lot of blank spaces to fill. It left me feeling a little sad. The family that I had gotten used to was no longer centralized under the same roof.
"Think of it this way." Yamato said after scanning the apartment himself. "You now have more space to put the random shit you collect. And ." he said while pulling me close and wrapping his arms firmly around me. "We don't have to worry about him walking in on us when we aren't in our room." He finished while giving me a lecherous grin.
I shook my head and laughed--Only Yamato. "Whatever am I going to do with you?"
"Whatever pops into that pretty little head of yours, Chi." He said wriggling his eyebrows suggestively and a broad grin spread across his face. "I'm game if you are."
"What the hell, we don't have anything better to do today."
I spent the rest of the day in a pleasurable haze--Not at all a bad way to spend your day. I was still a little sad about Takeru moving out, but it would be selfish of me to deprive him of the same pleasure I get when waking up in the morning next to Yamato. I'm happy for him. I'm happy that he found someone to loves and that that someone loves him just as much as he loves them. It's a beautiful thing. Damn that was so sappy. What the fuck, it doesn't matter. As long as I don't start saying shit like that out loud, I won't have a problem thinking them.
Thinking about Takeru makes me want to think about my relationship with Yamato. There are no parallels in our relationships, but emotionally they are the same, I think. Yamato is the best thing that ever happened to me and I wouldn't want to lose him for anything in the world--I could spend forever with him, I want to spend forever with him. I'll never love anyone as much as I love Yamato. And I can tell that Takeru feels the same way about Daisuke.
