Taichi stumbled backwards.

"What?" he asked his voice shaking slightly.

"I love you" Yamato offered weakly.

"You fucking fag!" Taichi screamed.

Yamato's jaw dropped.

"Prick, you go around messing with my head, I let you touch m- I can't
believe-!" Taichi spat out, his voice dripping with venom. He couldn't even
form a complete thought.

Yamato grabbed his bag and ran towards the door.

Taichi stepped forward and slapped Yamato.

Hot tears streamed down Yamato's face as he ran away from his friend.

He hitched a ride back to Heighten View Terrace with a truck driver he
realized how upset he was and didn't ask questions. He pretended to sleep
just in case.

"Thanks" Yamato said quietly hopping out of the truck as it pulled up in
front of his house. He ran inside and straight to his room like a ten year
old who had been scolded.

"Yama?" Takeru asked.

'Shit.I forgot about Takeru.'

He ignored him and slid down the wall, pulling his knees up to his chest
and hiding his face.

"Yama, what's wrong?" Takeru asked, rolling off the bed to his brother.

"Leave me alone" he mumbled trying not to start crying again.

"You told Taichi didn't you?" Takeru asked knowingly.

'How the hell did he know how I felt about Taichi?' he though but nodded
anyways.

Takeru's slender form was soon comforting Yamato.

"What did Taichi say to you?" Takeru asked when Yamato still wouldn't look
up.

Yamato just shook his head and felt Takeru lifting it.

"Oh my god." Takeru said seeing the marks Taichi had made when he slapped
Yamato. He picked Yamato up and placed him on his bed. "I'm so sorry Yama.."
He pulled a blanket over him remembering how easily his brother got cold.

"It's going to be ok you know." Takeru said heading for the door.

"No it's not.nothing is ok"

Takeru shook his head and walked out of his brother's bedroom.

Yamato shook violently, not being able to get warm. Taichi had always been
there to warm him up, either by putting his arms around his shoulders or
with an extra sweater, it didn't matter, he had been there and now he
wasn't.

A thought suddenly hit him, Kaya was Taichi's girlfriend. Oh how Yamato
hated her.stupid little bitch.

Takeru came in every so often to check on Yamato, he kept bringing food
which Yamato didn't eat and wet rags for his face which he didn't use.

A few times Yamato heard Takeru on the phone. More than once he heard his
name being dropped.

"Yeah, Yamato will be fine..Daisuke acted the same way when I told him,
remember?" there was a brief pause and a chuckle. "Yeah, Aishiteru mo, yeah
yeah, tell Daisuke I say Aishiteru too."

'Ahh!' Yamato thought 'So Takeru is gay too'

He figured since he wasn't going to sleep he would go outside.

Yamato stood up, still shaking and walked outside.

He was freezing but he needed to think, of something, anything other than
Taichi. The only thing he could think of was Taichi, the way he had hit him.
As if the words hadn't been enough.

"Yamato?" came a familiar voice.

Moki :Well, we all know who that is!

Yamato: How could you make Taichi do that!

Taichi: Yeah! is clinging to Yamato I'm gay too!

Moki: SHH! Review everyone!
