Yamato slumped down on his sofa before TV and opened his beer. A stupid talkshow was on, the one where they read a letter from some corny teenager asking how to fuck his girlfriend breathless.
"And the next anonymous letter..." said the guy with a mic, pulling one envelope from a heap on the table, "is." He started reading.
"Hi, I'm a fourteen year old. My name is Taichi."
Yamato choked as he was about to take a swig and coughed his beer out wildly.
"My problem is that I'm in love with a boy who has a girlfriend. But she treats him like a slave, and besides they are both my friends, and he's my bestest friend ever, and I don't know what to do. I don't know if I'm gay and if I am how my parents and friends are gonna take it. But the thing is - I kissed him (AND realised I'm in love with him at the same time) and he didn't push me away, but his girlfriend, she saw us and ran away crying. And now my friend is avoiding me and his girlfriend thinks he cheets on her, and I'm generally pissed of life. So, what am I to do? I mean, if I'm gonna pretend nothing's happened the boy I love and the girl I hate are gonna be together, with me miserable, and my friend in chains again. And if I won't pretend, that means I'm gay and I don't know how my friends are gonna react, how my parents are gonna react and generally, how the boy I love is gonna react. I think too much, don't I?"
The guy stopped reading never suspecting that 'the boy Taichi loved' was gaping at him from his couch with his jaw scraping the floor.
"We have a serious problem here, Dr. Help," said the guy mournfully. "So, from the psychological point of view, what do you suggest the poor boy must do? Mind, he's only fourteen, and that's probably his first crush!" Yamato grabbed the cushion and stared at the TV screen like he would burn holes in it.
"Yes, I understand," said the psychologist gravely. "Well, first, he must not think he's gay. Boys and girls of this age often fall in love, and sometimes their crush is of the same sex. I may suggest that this boy Taichi is talking about must be very popular, and that's why Taichi had a crush on him. See, teenagers' opinion is highly dependent on that of their friends, and since Taichi doesn't seem to have a girlfriend while his crush does, he thinks 'Oh, look at me, I'm a wreck, and my friend has a girlfriend, he must be better-looking, talented' - you name it - 'so he's a real idol.' So, he asks himself, why not fall in love with him?"
"Fucking asshole!" Yamato shouted waving his beer in the air. "Who do you think you're talking about!!!"
"And what do you recommend to this poor obsessed boy?" said the guy with a mic who Yamato really started to hate. "Should he get himself a girlfriend or go after that boy of his dreams?"
"Well," said the doctor, while Yamato was biting huge pieces off his cushion. "I think he'd better tell his friend all about his feelings, and of course, he should tell him that his girlfriend is treating him bad..."
"YOU! SON of a...!!!" Yamato shouted and gulped down all of his beer.
"But of course, only his friend should decide whether they're gonna be seeing each other or not..."
"You DAMN right!!!..." the blonde threw the torn cushion on the floor and reached for the phone.
"And according to the reaction to the kiss, I don't think his friend would protest..."
"HA HA!" said completely hampered Yamato and dialed Taichi's number.
"But I ask yourself - is it what Taichi really wants? Does he want to be gay?"
"I'm gonna sooooooo ask you that, Tai," Yamato muttered in the receiver. Long beeps sounded in his ear.
"He must go easy on his friends and not spill the whole story at once. Maybe he'll find somebody who sympathised with him... or who even agrees with him. Well, I mean, there are people and people."
"You think he should risk it?"
"Why not? After all, if it won't work out, he'll know that all his friends are worthless."
This struck the blonde as something to consider in detail. Yamato would be the last person in real and digital worlds to call himself a bad friend. He had a Crest of Friendship, after all!! Yamato pressed the end button and stared at the TV screen. What if I ruin my friendship with Taichi? What if... What if my Crest won't shine anymore?! ...
"Well, anyway, good luck to you, Taichi! This is Anonymous Love! Stay tuned! And our next letter is..."
The blonde switched TV off. He went to the fridge and got the second bottle of beer. Thoughtfully, he landed on the couch, opened the bottle and stared at the ceiling.
Was he a real jerk to answer Taichi's kiss? Did he make him believe there was a chance? Wait a sec here! He DIDN'T answer any goddam kiss! Taichi forced him to this kiss and then claimed Yamato his own. Damn right! And Taichi said nothing about love - it was just his erection that troubled him. Well, if he wants to jump Yamato's bones, it's his own headache. The blonde teen made no damned indications he was accepting. Yamato only wanted to be Taichi's friend. That's what I'm gonna tell him.
"Oh, Tai," Yamato sighed. He picked up the phone.
"Yagami, and it's late at night, so you'd better have a good reason for the call," said Hikari's sleeping voice.
"Hi, it's Yamato..."
"I'll get Taichi."
"Yeah..." Yamato considered what to say when the brunette would pick up.
"Hi, Yama," whispered Taichi over the phone, "What I want to say is," he took a long breath, "I think Sora's not good for you, and that I think I'm in love with you, please, don't hate me, please?"
Yamato stared at the phone like for a minute before he replied bluntly, "Ah, Tai, I watched the talkshow too."
"Oh," said highly embarrassed Taichi, "Oh, you did."
"Yup."
"Bye, Yama."
He hang up. Yamato opened his mouth to say something but nothing came out of it. After a while of having to hear annoying beeping in his ear, he put the phone down, switched the lights off and went to bed. It could have been his beer, but he had a vivid dream of Taichi giving him a blowjob that night.
Two years later.
Taichi rolled on his back and flicked his eyes open. Something had just occured to him. Something that left him sleepless for the rest of the night.
Yeah, two years ago he had told Yamato about his true feelings. Yeah, Sora did everything to have Yamato for herself. She and Yamato stayed together but their relationship was going downhill. There were more scandals like that one and Yamato was tired. And when Taichi hoped silently that they would quit being a couple - Yamato had to buy Sora a trip to Spain for two weeks. Needless to say, their strife was forgotten.
All the while, Taichi's passion grew. Everyone knew that he and Yamato were best friends in the world, only at times when Sora was impossible, Yamato would come to Taichi for comfort... and kisses. You could say, he was leading a double life. But it was a random double life. Taichi didn't enjoy the spontaneousness, he wanted Yamato all to himself. For that, Taichi need a plan of action. He was the sort of a person to get what he wanted at all cost. The problem was Sora. And now he had a plan.
Ever since that day in the dressing room, Sora expected of Taichi to go for Yamato. What she wouldn't expect him to do... was... to go... after her... Taichi smiled. Nice way to break their love triangle. Sora would fall for Taichi. Sora would dump Yamato. Taichi would date Sora. Taichi would dump Sora. Yamato would fall for Taichi. Taichi would date Yamato. Taichi would have crazy sex with Yamato. Yippi!
If this was war, he was gonna win.

a/n Having fun, are we?
