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!
