The next morning Yamato woke up and bought his plane ticket.
It took his whole months pay to buy the ticket to Tokyo.
After setting things up with the
airlines Yamato set about cooking
breakfast.
Takeru
emerged from the bedroom rubbing his eyes. He already had his hat
on.
"Morning Teeks!" Yamato sang out happily.
Takeru offered a wave and sat down at the table.
Yamato slid him a plate of
French toast and a glass of orange
juice and sat down across from him.
A thought suddenly hit him.
'I really love Taichi.'
Yamato was silent the rest
of breakfast. It had never occurred to him that
he liked Taichi
in that way.
"Yamato!" Takeru yelled snapping him
out of his dazed state. He had
obviously been telling Yamato
something, but Yamato had started to day
dream.
"Sorry
Teeks" he mumbled as he got up from the table. He grabbed some
clean
clothes from his bedroom and headed off towards the
bathroom. He jumped in
the shower and washed his hair quickly. He
put on his favorite pair of jeans
and his old green tank
top.
Yamato was hours early for his flight, but he would have
chickened out if
he had stayed back home for another single
second.
He was going to tell Taichi he loved him.
'No going back now' Yamato thought as his boarding number was called.
Every minute that passed on the plane made Yamato more and more nervous.
Finally the flight ended and he got off the
plane. He swung his back pack
over his shoulder and
yawned.
"Yamato!" someone called obviously surprised to see him.
Good god! It was Sora.well maybe she was good for some sort of ride.
"Hey Sora!" Yamato called back running to her.
"I haven't heard from you in ages!" she accused.
"I'm sorry, but hey, could you
give me a lift to Taichi's place?" he asked
pleadingly
giving her somewhat of the puppy dog face.
Sora glared and then shrugged, leading him to a small dark blue car.
"Get in" she commanded.
Yamato slid into the passenger's seat and Sora started rambling.
He tuned her out and tired to think of possible ways to tell Taichi.
God her voice was annoying.not to mention distracting.
"Yamato, I have to
run into the store real quick, will you wait in the
car?"
she asked.
"Uh sure."
She ran into the store
leaving Yamato to wait in the car. After a few
minutes he checked
his watch. It was already a little bit past five.
"Shit." he mumbled getting out of the car.
He walked down the street
quietly. He thought he remembered the way to the
dorm, after all
he was the one who had been with Taichi when he had rented
it.
Yamato smiled to himself. He remembered that day. He
and Taichi had gotten
in a fight about who would pay for lunch.
He lost as usual and paid for both
of their meals. He didn't
really mind though, Taichi would be gone in a few
weeks
anyways.
Yamato padded along the sidewalk quietly looking at
his feet. He glanced up
every so often he glanced up to check the
street signs.
When Yamato saw the dorms he smiled and broke
into a jog. He sprinted the
steps and knocked vigorously on the
door.
"Yeah yeah, I'm coming" he heard from behind
the door. It was followed by a
soft thud and uneven
footsteps.
Yamato soon stared into the chocolate brown eyes of
Taichi. It took him a
moment to register who it really was.
He
had to swallow hard to keep from crying. Yamato flung himself at
Taichi
and embraced him.
"Taichi." he mumbled holding onto him and burying his face in his chest.
Taichi's eyes were wide.
"Yama, Are.you ok?"
Yamato nodded.
"I just missed you,"
Taichi nodded too and let Yamato cling to him for a second longer.
"Do you have to be so emotional?" Taichi asked snickering a bit.
"Yeah, yeah I do" Yamato said pushing him
gently and dropping down onto
Taichi's couch.
Taichi sat down next to him.
"So what do you want to do, your call" Taichi said flipping off the TV.
'Tell you how I really feel'
"Err, I dunno." Yamato said his stomach
growling loud enough for Taichi to
hear. He blushed; he had been
too excited to eat his breakfast that morning.
"We'll go eat" he said with a laugh pulling off his shirt.
Yamato
stared at Taichi. He knew his friend had become muscular, but Taichi
was definitely better toned that Yamato had expected.
Taichi walked into his bedroom and grabbed a clean shirt.
Yamato
couldn't help but stare. He blushed when Taichi started to unbutton
his pants. It's not like he hadn't seen Taichi get dressed
before, but with
this new realization in his head he felt
awkward.
Taichi was soon dressed and he threw Yamato's bag on his bed.
"Ready?" Taichi asked.
Yamato nodded and asked if they were going for burgers
It was Taichi's turn to nod.
They walked to the closest burger place and
ordered their food, both
agreeing that Yamato should pay.
"How's school?" Yamato asked.
"Great! Kaya is too."
"Who's Kaya?"
"She's a friend" Taichi said.
"Oh" Yamato said not assuming anything.
"How's the band doing?"
"Good I think. We actually had a gig the
other night and they asked us to
come back"
The night
went on filled with old jokes and the two reminding each other of
all the stupid things they had done together.
When they
finally went back to Taichi's place Yamato had become more
comfortable.
"Eh.Yama, you either gotta sleep on the
floor or in bed with me" Taichi
said.
Yamato blushed,
now was the time to tell Taichi. He swallowed hard as the
other
shut off the lights.
"T-Taichi..I love you." Yamato blurted looking at the ground.
Taichi's jaw dropped as he waited for him to regain his composure.
A/N Well, poor poor Yama is sooooo nervous!
Yamato: Am not!
Taichi: You love me? passes out
Moki: Well, review!
