own any of these characters, except for maybe Kaya, but
she
doesn't count for jack shit since she made Yama cry..
"It's
been two months since Taichi left," Yamato announced that night
at
dinner. It wasn't as if his father cared, but it was the
weekend of the
month when Takeru visited.
Takeru nodded vigorously, his mouth full of chicken stir-fry.
"What's
your point?" Yamato's father asked. He didn't even look up from
his
food.
Yamato scowled.
"My point is I'm going to go visit him for the rest of the long weekend."
"That's
a good idea," Takeru replied liking the idea of having the house
all
to himself considering his father would most definitely be at
work.
'If Takeru knew why I was really going to go see Taichi,
he'd disown me' as
he finished his stir-fry. 'And maybe Taichi
will too' he added to himself
scowling.
Yamato walked into his bedroom and fell back on his bed with a big sigh.
Ever
since Taichi left Yamato had been miserable. Everyone had noticed,
even his father. He blamed it on stomach aches.
College.that
had been what Yamato had wanted for Taichi, but as the day
that
Taichi would leave approached Yamato realized how much of an impact
Taichi made in his life.
He didn't even want to think
about the day Taichi had left. He had put on a
fake smile the
whole day until Taichi had boarded the plane, but as soon as
he
was on Yamato had gone to pieces.
"I have to stop
thinking about that." He mumbled to himself, disgusted with
how
he had broken down in public.
He rolled over and grabbed the phone and dialed Taichi's number.
"Taichi?" he asked when someone picked up the phone.
"Matt?" came the groggy voice from the other end.
Just hearing the other say
his name made Yamato's breath catch in his
chest.
"Yeah,
it's me, err.well uh.. Do you think it would be ok if I came and
visited for the rest of the weekend?" he asked, willing his
voice to sound
less eager.
"Nnngh" was the response he got from the other end.
"Taichi wake up!" Yamato said into the phone.
"Uhngh, sorry Yamato I'm
really tired, but yeah come on and visit." Taichi
replied
with a yawn.
Yamato smiled to himself.
"I'll be there tomorrow at five. I'll take a cab to your place."
"M'kay, G'night Yama" Taichi said yawning again.
"You lazy
ass" Yamato shot with a laugh. "Goodnight" he added
before he
hung up the phone. Takeru opened the door at that
moment.
"Was that Taichi?" he asked seeing the broad
smile that was still intact on
Yamato's face.
His smile got bigger and Takeru laughed.
"How'd you guess?"
"Yama.I didn't have to guess look at yourself!"
Yamato got up and glanced in the mirror.
He fell back laughing onto his bed.
"You really miss him don't you?" Takeru asked.
Yamato heaved a big sigh.
"Yeah Teeks, I really do."
Takeru nodded in agreement and lay down in his sleeping bag.
"You going to bed Teeks?" Yamato asked.
He didn't get an answer.
"Damn Teeks, you were tired." Yamato mumbled.
He rolled onto his stomach and closed his eyes. God
it had been good to
hear Taichi's voice.
Yamato finally drifted off to sleep after laying there for hours.
