Chapter 6: Beyond This Lonely Hill
(Yamato's point of view)
After the show, my friends and I packed up our belongings; none of us spoke to each other. Everybody is in a crappy mood...I'm mad at Taichi. Takeru is mad at Akira...don't know what is up with them. It seems to me that they are trying to avoid each other ever since earlier today when I went to tell them about my hair.
The student announcer came towards us with a smile on his face, "Congratulations Guys! Once again you took the stage as the best. That's impressive..." he said staring at my brother.
I eyed the two of them and said, "Thanks."
"You know I'm your biggest fan, Takaishi," he referred to Takeru.
"That is such a lie..." Akira mumbled as he left passed us with his drum sticks in the back of his pants pocket. He did not bother to look at us.
The announcer's eyes widen, "Um, I think this is a bad time. I'll see you in class on Monday Takeru," he replied and left into the door that led to the auditorium.
"Stupid Akira!" My brother whispered angrily as he put his bass over his shoulder and took off in the same direction the announcer went to.
I stood there alone, my book bag hanging down my side, and the strap of my guitar case was wrapped around my body. I did not know what to say at this time. I was feeling all these emotions: anger, sad...hopeless. I sighed, "Yup, I have nothing to do..." I browsed around the place and realized I was all by myself. "Yeah..."
I waited for a few seconds and decided to head to my room. I put my hands in my pants pocket and was staring down at the floor. I roamed through the halls until I felt someone pull me by my right elbow. What the? They quickly covered my eyes and spun me around.
"Guess who?" An unknown person said calmly.
I tried to recognize the voice but I wasn't really paying any attention. I sighed and took a guess, "Taichi?"
He was quiet for a moment and finally said, "Incorrect. C'mon, you can't get this wrong."
I muttered, "I hate this game..."
"Ummm...how should I say this?" I could sense he was thinking of a way to put it an easier way.
I sighed once again and replied, "I don't have time for this pathetic game of yours," and I pushed his hands off my face and strolled away. I didn't make an effort to look at the individual who wasted my time.
He called from behind, "Why are you walking away from me Yama-chan?"
I stopped in my tracks and gasped. I quickly turned around and saw no one there. "What..." Was that Isao? I started getting nervous of the thought of him watching my every move right now. I slowly gazed around to see if I could spot anything unusual. I turned back around and jogged away; hearing a soft chuckle close by.
(Taichi's point of view)
"Why so blue?" Daisuke asked as we were laying down on our beds and waiting for the sleepiness to take over us.
I tried to see through the darkness of the room but there was no use. I answered, "I don't know..."
"Sure...I know why you are so blue. It is becau-"
"No," I quickly said as I interrupted him.
"Something must be wrong...you haven't been this quiet since our last school ran out of banana cake one day. Do you want to talk about it?"
Daisuke actually wants to listen? That is so unlike him... I shouldn't though...I don't want him to get involve. "I rather not..."
"Well, you know I'm here when you feel it's the right time," he said as I heard him sigh.
"Daisuke," I asked a few seconds later, "what's up with you and Ken? Are you two dating or seeing each other now?"
Silence took over for a couple of seconds. "I-I don't know. I think we are."
"You think? It's either yes or no."
"I say... yes, we are dating. Why do you ask?"
"It's because... well, does it feel ...weird?" I asked.
"Weird?" He answered baffled. "Weird, no. It feels good. I've never felt this way towards anyone before."
"So, you really like him, don't you?"
"Yes. He's the first person who likes me for me. I don't have to pretend to be someone else. It feels good." He said.
"Good..." I sighed.
"Why are you so interested in my love life?" Daisuke asked as he got up to sit down Indian-style. He leaned to his side to turn on the lamp.
I placed an arm in front of my face to block out the light and to shield my face away from Daisuke. "Well, something unusual happened to me during the Talent Show."
"What happened?" He asked.
I removed my arm and turned to face Daisuke. "Yamato...." I said quiet to make sure I really want him to know.
"Yamato, what? Did he do something to you?! That bastard!!"
"NO,.. no. He didn't do anything." I got up and sat at the edge of the bed. "I have to confess something to you." I looked down at my fingers, "I lied."
"You lied about what?"
"I lied about Yamato when you guys asked me if I spoke to him." I said.
Daisuke's eyes widen; he couldn't believe I lied to him. It's been a long time since I did that. "So he found you? Did you talk to him?" He asked slowly, letting the confession sink in.
"Yes. He spoke to me." I quickly looked up at him, "You have to promise me you won't tell Shiro, Ken or anyone in this school. Promise me."
"Cross my heart," Daisuke said as he crossed his heart with his right hand.
I took a slow gulp, "Yamato has a c-crush on... me." I stared straight at his eyes.
Daisuke... stood still, his jaw slowly opening, "No. Way."
I quickly turned to my right to stare at the wall. I felt embarrassed, confused, and all the while,... excited.
"You got to be kidding me? Yamato likes you? You mean he likes, likes you?" Daisuke asked as a smile started forming wider and wider.
"Yes," I answered.
The last thing I expected was Daisuke landing on his back on his bed laughing his guts out. But then again, that's Daisuke. "Hahaha!" He curled up in a tight ball and turned to his side, "Hahaha! Yamato likes you!!" He laughed some more. "YAMATO likes YOU?!?!"
I could tell I was blushing. "Why is it so funny? Aren't I desirable enough to catch someone's eye?" Barely audible, Daisuke said 'no' and laughed some more. "Well, I'll let you know that I'm a very sought after man" I raised an eyebrow.
Daisuke calmed down somewhat and said, "Sure, Taichi. Whatever makes you feel better," he smiled. "Anyways, I can't believe Yamato likes you." He sat up to look at me, "So what do you feel about him? Do you like him?"
That question caught me off guard. I've never really thought of it. Yamato. Blond hair, sapphire eyes, moist peachy lips.... oh... my...god.
"Someone is blushing," Daisuke teased me and he whistled a song.
"Shut up," I barely said.
"See! You're not fighting back!! There's something there Taichi!"
Is there?
(Daisuke's P.O.V.)
The next morning Ken and I met up in front of his room in order to go to class together.
"Hey Kenny!" I said as I gave him a hug.
"Hi Daisuke..." he whispered.
I backed away and asked, "What's wrong?"
Ken sighed, "Nothing, nothing..."
I then placed my hands against his cheeks and replied, "Ken? Is everything okay?"
I felt his warmth against my palms. Ken took a deep breath, "Are you using me?" he stared straight into my eyes.
I was caught off guard, "No...why would you think that?"
The dark haired teen shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know...I just had a feeling that you were probably using me since we are stuck here in this school."
I said honestly, "Well I'm not..." This is not like a summer fling...
Ken smiled and looked to the ground, "Seriously?"
I put my hands in my pants pocket and grinned, "Have I ever been serious with you?"
"No...not really; that is why I asked."
I raised my figure to say something but stopped, "...I guess you are right." I wrapped my arm around his shoulder, "I'm going to tell you here and out; I will never lie to you."
Ken chuckled, "You already broke it."
I thought about it, "Well maybe not never, but I'll be honest with you if you be honest with me. Cool?"
"Deal."
"C'mon let's go, before Shiro finishes getting dress and would want us to take him to class," I grinned evilly as I led the both of us to our classes.
(Taichi's P.O.V.)
Beep-Beep-Beep!
I jumped up with the loudness of the alarm. My eyes were still blurry as I reached to my left to turn off the alarm. I touched the object but it felt rubbery, "What's this? Is this a shoe?" I looked around me and I was on the floor between Daisuke's bed and my bed. I got up and turned off the alarm. I rubbed my eyes and yawned, "What time is it?" My vision became clearer and it said 9:00 A.M. I stretched, "Mmm...class started 30 minutes ago..." My eyes shot open, "I'm LATE!" I quickly ran to the restroom and washed my face with soap, "Ah! It burns!" I yelled as I accidentally put soap in my eyes. I rinsed my face and grabbed the towel near the sink and dried my face.
I jogged back inside the bedroom and started looking for my books. "Daisuke, hurry and get ready! We are going to be late!" There was no response. "I'm not playing around Daisuke!" I looked up at Daisuke's bed and didn't see no one there. I glanced at the clock and saw a paper taped at the side. I walked over to it and snatched it. It read:
To: Taichi
I bet you are wondering why
you woke up late, am I right?
Well, I put the alarm to ring
at 9 o'clock so I could see you
run like an ant like when their
home is destroyed. You know
what I'm talking about. Yeah
that's it, like what you're
probably doing right now. Just
your luck, I'm not there to see
you. Hahaha! I thought it
would be fun. But don't get
mad at me, Shiro helped me out.
There was more on the back... on the top there was a few scratches. Probably Daisuke and Shiro fighting for the pen...
I had nothing to do with this Taichi,
Daisuke convinced me. You
know Daisuke, he is the little
devil on my shoulder, telling me
to do evil things.
There was a few more pen marks here and there...
Well anyways, if you
need your books for class, haha,
good luck in finding them. Got to
go before I am late to my class.
With lots of love,
Daisuke and ShiroP.S. We put you on the floor because
we thought it would take you longer
to get up. Yes, I know...I'm bad.
I crumpled the paper, "And today I do need my books. Damn you Daisuke and Shiro!" I threw the paper across the room and started searching the whole place for the missing items.
(Yamato P.O.V)
"Okay students, today we are learning about Shakespeare. We all know that he owned The Globe Theater,.." the teacher said starting with today's lesson in literature.
Where's Taichi? He should be here already. I glanced around the room to make sure he didn't sit somewhere else. Duh, you would know if he's here; he sits right next to you.
A student in class raised his hand, "Is it true that Shakespeare was a homosexual?" I could hear the whole class giving out distrusting noises. I ran a hand through my newly dyed blond hair.
"Well, that is one topic still be discussed amongst historians and literature professors around the world. But what we do know..." The teacher continued.
Is Taichi sick? Maybe he's sick of me... Just as I was about to look down and doodle on paper, the door swung opened and behold... there was Taichi walking in. "What is your excuse Mr. Yagami?" The teacher asked.
"I couldn't find my book. Sorry, it won't happen again." Taichi said as he gave the professor a bow. I could tell that the professor was quite stunned by Taichi's manners.
I couldn't help a small smile escape. Taichi turned towards his seat, which is right next to mine and sat down. He took out his book and paper to take notes. Seeing that he was not paying attention to me, I looked down at my paper and started writing down what I feel.
Car windows icing over speaking steam with your breath
Through the floating strands of your hair.
Am I just like the rest?
You say you don't want anyone or anything
Say this hurts you too
I wouldn't bother but this means everything to me.
So spare me now.
What else should I write...I tapped my pencil against the desk top. I sighed and could sense everybody was looking at me.
"Am I boring you Ishida?" the teacher asked as he placed his lesson book on top of his desk.
I looked up at him, "...you heard that?"
He said sarcastically, "I'm afraid no one heard it."
I rolled my eyes, "Sounds like you're deaf..." I whispered.
The teacher raised his voice, "Please go outside," he pointed to the door.
I sighed one last time, "Whatever..." I got up and walked to the door. "Did you hear that?" I teased right before I got out the door.
"Do not wander around the halls Ishida!" the teacher called.
I gazed around my surroundings and no sign of anybody roaming the halls. I glanced at my watch, "9:23 A.M. Seven more minutes for class to end." I put my hands in my pants pocket and took off to the direction where my room was located.
I turned a corner and saw that the principal was coming my way with a cup of coffee in one hand; a donut in the other. He smiled at me and said, "Good morning Mr. Ishida."
I slightly smiled, "Morning..." I replied as we both passed each other.
I continued my walk until I heard him call, "Hold it right there."
I froze and slowly turned around, "All...right."
"What are you doing outside of the classroom?" he asked suspiciously.
I shrugged my shoulders, "...walking?"
"Walking? Where are you heading? You are suppose to be in class, Mr. Ishida."
"I'm sorry," I bowed, "I really don't feel well. May I please stay in my room to rest? I would really appreciate it." I tried to sound and look convincing to the principal.
"Since, you're not causing trouble lately," He took a sip of his coffee, "You have my permission but make sure once you feel better head back to class. If not, I'll have someone come for you. You hear me?"
I nodded and bowed once again to show my appreciation. "Thank you." I swiftly turned around and walked to my room. Once I got there I quickly changed into my black shirt and took off my pants, which left me with my red boxers. I was in no mood to do anything but think of...nevermind.
I lay down on my bed and covered myself with my blanket and slept.
Yamato's Dream
"I never thought anyone will make me feel this way. You know that?" I said.
"Yes. I know you love me as I love you Yamato." He kissed me lightly on my lips. Oh sweet bliss, take control over me
I moved away to look at my loved one... wait. Green eyes, black hair? This is not my Taichi. This is Isao!
Isao looked sweetly at me and leaned in for another kiss. You've got to be kidding me!
I pushed him away. "Back off!"
"Why are you being mean, Yama-chan?" He said concerned over my sudden mood change. His hand went to move the loose strand of hair out of my eye.
I quickly dodged his affection and moved to get away from his reach. "What are you doing here? Where's Taichi???"
"Taichi? Taichi moved away and he's never coming back. I thought you remembered that. It happened two months ago." Isao said to confirm that Taichi was really gone.
"Gone. Two months ago?" No, no, no,... NO! "This can't be!! H-He has to know that I l-love him!" A single tear formed a thin river down my face, past my chin. "Taichi!"
I turned all around to find Taichi but had no such luck. Even Isao was gone now. I'm completely alone... Just as I was about to fall down and break down crying,... I felt arms around my waist.
"Boo," someone said from behind me.
I turned around to see who it was...
Thump! "Ah!" I softly yelled a cry of pain.
I woke up and slowly sat up. I rubbed my forehead and realized that I hit the wall as I turned. I never got to see who was behind me... Was it Taichi? I knew I had a crush on him... but this dream made me feel love for him... Do I love him? Do I love Taichi?
I shook my head and took out my notepad to write down some more lyrics to my unfinished song I started in class. I think this song will come out awesome. I will dedicate this song to Taichi...
(Taichi's P.O.V)
When Yamato left class, I knew he left to his room. Where else would someone go to skip class? It's not like you can really hide from the professors. At some point or another, you're bound to come inside to your room to sleep.
I'm not sure, I think Yamato is acting strange ever since he confessed to liking me. Ever since I spoke to Daisuke... I felt energized. Daisuke convinced me to talk to him sometime soon. He said to make sure Yamato was absolutely sure that he liked me. Maybe we can be friends, there's no need to rush anything. Why is Daisuke encouraging me to talk to Yamato? I thought Yamato and I were suppose to be enemies.
I ran a hand through my hair. It has grown longer but it's still not close enough to the original length I had before. And what did I do to Yamato? I had his hair dyed pink for the love of God. It was Akira who did this to me... That reminds me. I wonder if Daisuke got the pictures developed.
I turned the corner to head to Yamato's room. I'll go find Daisuke later. Right now I need to talk to Yamato.
I hear a faint sound of someone's voice accompanied with an acoustic guitar. I followed the faint sound ... it led right in the same direction of Yamato's room. I walked up in front of his door and leaned in to place my ear on the door to hear better.
There's no doubt about it. It was Yamato singing a ... new song. Well,... I believe it's new since I've only heard two songs from him before.
Sighing, I knocked on the door. The singing stopped and footsteps were heard as the doorknob turned. There stood Yamato in a black shirt and.... red boxers.
I couldn't help but blush. I've never seen anyone other than Daisuke in boxers. A/N: No people... there's nothing between Daisuke and Taichi. LOL
Yamato's eyes widen, "What are you doing here Taichi?"
"I.. I-I came to see you. I mean to t-talk to you. Do you have time?" I asked nervously. He nodded and let me in.
"Hope you don't mind the mess. My roommate left out of town since his father passed away. I've just been taking advantage of the whole situation... I'm using his side of the room as well." Yamato said. I knew he was rambling on and on. I couldn't help but chuckle.
"What?" He asked. I stood there smiling and moved my head to say 'nothing'.
Yamato walked over to his bed and moved his guitar walked to the other side to put the guitar in its case. "Have a sit. There's room on my bed." He said as he opened the guitar case and placed the blue guitar inside.
I sat down on his roommate's bed and looked around me. Interesting room... Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Rage Against the Machine, Linkin Park, Drowning Pool and Ultrabridge posters. There was even a small poster of a guitar right above the headboard.
I looked at my side and saw a yellow note pad. Hmmm... Mudhill. I'm guessing it's the new song I just heard. I tried to see more of the lyrics but all I caught before Yamato snatched the pad away was 'Am I just like the rest?'.
Yamato opened his dresser and dumped the notepad inside. For sure he did not want me to see that. "Sorry." I said.
Yamato just walked and sat across from me. "What do you want Taichi? It's not every day that you come over to visit me."
"I heard you playing the guitar and singing. You sound good."
Yamato looked at me as if to see if I was being serious. I was, so he let out a sigh. "Thanks." He said.
"Is it new? Can I hear it?" I asked.
Yamato opened and shut his mouth, making himself look like a fish. "I-I don't know," He replied nervously.
"Please? I would really love to hear it. Can you play it for me? I won't make fun of you. Why would I? Everyone knows you're like the best musician here in school. Damn, perhaps all of Japan!" Now I knew I was rambling and complimenting him stupidly. I let out a nervous giggle to hide the fact that I'm acting like a school girl.
"O-kay." He walked over to the case and took out his blue guitar. "It's fairly new. It's still not polished to the way I like." He said as he played a chord to warm up. All the while, I stayed there staring at him. His head is down, blond hair covering his eyes, looking at the strings. Wow, he's beautiful. Just like a golden god.
Yamato coughed to let me know he was about to start. I woke up from my stupor and brought my attention to him. "Ready? Well,... here it goes." Yamato said as he started strumming the guitar strings while he looked down at the cords. His golden hair was all over his face but he didn't mind. After his little introduction, he took a deep breath and began to sing:
Car windows icing over
Speaking steam with your breath
Through the floating strands of your hair.
Am I just like the rest?
The blond flicked his hair back and stared right past me.
Say you don't want anyone or anything
Say this hurts you too
Yamato quickly looked up at me and then turned his attention back to his guitar.
I wouldn't bother but this means everything to me.
So spare me now.
Rehearse the words you say
Repeat them again as you see my driveway
While searching for something more
Beyond this lonely hill
Yamato glanced at me once again but this time to show that he was singing this part to me...
I pretend to hear you.
Act as if I understand.
I try to convince you I don't hate you.
But it's hard to do.
He closed his eyes tightly and continued to sing passionately.
Say you don't want anyone or anything
Say this hurts you too. Yeah you too
I wouldn't bother but this means everything to me
So spare me now.
Rehearse the words you say
Repeat them again as you see my driveway
While searching for something more
Beyond this lonely hill.
Yamato played the guitar with his heart pouring out....
Rehearse the words you say
Repeat them again as you see my driveway
While searching for something more
Beyond this lonely hill...
Rehearse the words you say
Repeat them again as you see my driveway
While searching for something more
Beyond this-
Yamato stopped playing and placed the guitar aside. He looked away and said, "You should go Taichi..."
I was startled by the way he stopped. He didn't even finish the song. I asked, "Why should I?"
The blond got up and headed to the door. He stood by it and sighed, "...I don't know but you should go."
"All...right," I said slowly as I got up and walked towards Yamato. I stood in front of him and the blond took a step back. "...you have a nice voice."
Yamato blinked for a second and blushed. I smiled and left the room; leaving the blond in his room.
Later that day, I was laying down on my stomach on my bed. I had a book in front of me and it was my math book. "2n (n 4) - (-23n 8.95) ? " I scratched my forehead, "Awwwww..." I complained. "Shiro!" I yelled, "Ken!" I sighed and whispered, "...Dai...suke?"
The door swung open and in came Daisuke. He had a grin spread across his face and asked, "You called?"
"You heard me?" I squinted my eyes.
"Well of course, I have ears of a fox."
"...Righhhhhtttttt..."
He crossed his arms, "So what do you want?"
"I doubt it but do you know math?"
"Sure I do," he said cheerfully.
I was surprised, "You do?"
"Yeah...the square root of 9 is 2."
Why did I bother to ask? I closed my book, "Forget it, I'll just go by your rule...'if you are passing, there is no need to do the assignment'," I said while Daisuke smiled with proud. "...Okay."
Daisuke walked over to his bed and laid down. I was putting my book on the night stand when Daisuke asked, "So how's it going with you and Yamato?" I dropped my book and quickly glanced at him. He had a smirk on his face, "Ohhhh..." he said with a girlish voice and winked at me.
I picked up my book and placed it on the night stand. "...nothing..."
"Did you speak with him?" he wrapped his arms around his pillow.
"...yeah."
"Give me all the details."
"I went to visit him earlier today and he played a song with his guitar."
Daisuke got comfortable, "oooOOOOOhhhhhh, the romantic substance."
"Be serious here Daisuke," I stared at him.
"Yes sir!" he whispered.
"And I think he played that song for me..."
"What makes you think that?"
I started to think, "Something about being alone; a relationship gone down the pipe. Being hurt emotionally-" I stopped.
Daisuke asked, "...so you don't have feelings towards him?"
I stayed quiet for a few seconds and then replied, "...I don't know."
The teen rolled his eyes, "How can you not know?"
"I-I really don't."
"Okay, I'm going to be serious now so don't laugh. How do you feel around him?"
"A bit nervous I guess," I answered.
"Do you flirt with him?"
I was shocked by the question, "What?"
"You know, flirting. I don't know another way to put it."
I scratched my forehead, "No...maybe just a little...probably."
Daisuke sighed, "All I could say, since you never gaveme an answer is, just go with what you feel. Who cares if he is the same gender, do whatever makes you happy. Take Ken and I for an example, we are of the same sex and I'm happy that we're together. When I found out he likes me, I went for it; it's not everyday that you get an opportunity feel loved and... I like Ken a lot. And right now, Yamato likes you for who you are."
Whoa... that's deep. How did Daisuke learn all this stuff? Oh, right, he's with Ken. "Yeah..."
"Oh!" Daisuke yelled as he quickly rolled off his bed and onto his feet. "I got the film developed!" He walked to his dresser and opened the top drawer. "Remember how we took pictures of Akira and Takeru? Well, I got them ready." He pulled out an envelope, "It's all right here," he tossed the envelope across the room and it landed in front of my bed. "I made this guy who has photography to develop the film. You won't believe the face he had when he handed it to me."
I got off my bed and went to pick up the item. I opened it and pulled out the pictures. I looked at each one and I was confused, "These are great Daisuke but..." I glanced up at the teen who had a grin on his face, "where's Akira and Takeru?"
Daisuke's grin slowly faded, "What?"
"I don't think you checked these out after you got it developed," I tossed it back to him.
He caught it and took a look. "Oh what do we have here?" Daisuke laughed, "It's me and Ken...making out. These I need to keep," he smiled and placed them back inside his drawer. "That explains the expression the guy gave me," he laughed again and scratched his head.
I asked, "If you have those, then where are-"
Daisuke shrugged his shoulders, "I guess I accidentally used up all the film," he smiled nervously while he pulled his shirt's collar.
"You've got to be kidding me..." I eyed Daisuke and just then we heard a knock on the door.
Daisuke went to answer the door. From my point of view, I saw a pair of arms embrace Daisuke's neck.
"Hey." Daisuke said affectionately as he leaned in. I'm guessing it's Ken. I could heard a familiar sound of kissing. Daisuke, still kissing Ken, picked him up as Ken brought his legs around Daisuke's waist.
"Whoa-whoa!" I said as I placed a hand to cover my eyes. "Get another room, why don't you."
Daisuke put Ken back down. I uncovered my eyes and couldn't help looking at Ken and Daisuke together. Ken blushed and turned around to ignore my stare. Daisuke wrapped his arms around Ken's waist, "It's okay. Taichi doesn't mind really." Daisuke turned to face me, "Right Taichi?"
"Just don't let it go out of hand while I'm here in the same room." I smiled to show Ken I was alright with him being Daisuke's boyfriend. "I think you two make a good couple."
Ken hiding behind his hair said, "Thanks. Well, I think I should go now. Daisuke, do you want to come with me?"
Daisuke made a salute and said with a rather deep sexy voice, "Reporting for BooOOo-ty!"
I chuckled. Ken blushed and quickly grabbed Daisuke's right hand. Ken dragged Daisuke out of the room before he can embarrass him any further, "Bye Taichi," Ken said.
"Bye."
(Yamato's P.O.V)
Taichi....
"Hey Yamato!" Takeru ran from this dorm to meet with me. "How's it going?"
"Okay, so far. You?" I asked.
Takeru looked nervous. He quickly glanced around, "Let's go to the cafeteria before Akira gets here." Takeru grabbed my arm and hurriedly led me towards the cafeteria.
Once we arrived in there, Takeru rushed me to the lunch line. "What's going on? Why are you ignoring Akira?" I asked a bit suspicious.
Takeru tried to avoid my stare and sighed, "I really didn't want you to know. Well... not right now but I might as well tell you." Takeru's eyes started going red and tears were forming in his blue eyes.
"Go on..." I felt nervous. I don't know why but I always think negative.
Takeru gulped, "The day of the Talent Show..." He stopped to take a breath.
"Yes..."
"Well, right b-before the Talent Show... Akira... I mean Akira and I ... s-slept together." Takeru's tears started trailing down his face.
I quickly grabbed Takeru's, took him away from the crowd in the cafeteria and found the sanctuary of the hallway. "You did what?" I asked as I let go of his arm.
My brother wiped his tears with his sleeve and tried to calm himself down, "I-I think I d-did-" he couldn't finish his sentence.
My eyes widen, "You did what?!" I repeated myself as I raised my voice. "You're 14 years old and sleeping around with an 17 year old?! What were you thinking?!"
Takeru turned around and wiped away some more tears, "Yamato...please don't be angry with me," he begged.
I tried to calm myself down, "How did this whole thing started?"
"I-I don't know. One minute I was eating some candy that I found on top of my dresser and then I decided to take a nap on my bed. The next, I woke up in Akira's bed. The whole thing is a blur to me. I can't recall what happened."
I crossed my arms and said, "Whoa, whoa, whoa...hold on a second. Where was Akira?"
"Well he wasn't there when I was fell asleep."
"Do you think he was the one who did this to you and put you on his bed?" I asked.
"The thing is, Akira is straight and he doesn't like to share his bed with another male. But since we were on the same bed that day, I don't know what to think." He turned himself around and continued, "Who knows what is going on in his head."
"What was his reaction when he saw you on his bed?" I asked with caution.
"I guess he was pretty freaked out but that does not give him the right to be a jerk to me. I personally wouldn't s-sleep with a guy..."
"Well apparently you did Taker-"
"Hey guys, what's up?" someone with a familiar voice interrupted me. It was Akira, acting as though everything was fine. Takeru looked away with embarrassment while I glared disgustedly at the brunette who was approaching us. "I was looking all over the plac-" was all he said before I took a swing at his face. I knocked him down and Akira yelled as he automatically raised his arms up in defense , "What the hell is wrong with you?!"
I pinned him down and started punching the brunette. "Yamato, stop!" Takeru exclaimed as he came towards me and pushed me off Akira.
Akira quickly got on his feet and asked, "What are you doing?!"
I glared at the brunette as I was about to go at it again but I felt someone pull me back. "That's enough Yamato!" Takeru cried.
"You lucky bastard! If it weren't for Takeru, your face would have been shattered!"
"Akira, get out of here," my brother said. Akira gave me a confused face and left jogging into the cafeteria. Takeru turned to me, "What's your problem? You didn't have to react all violently. I can't believe you did that to your friend. He has done nothing."
I yanked my arms away from Takeru's grip and whispered, "Except sleep with you..."
"All right, fine, say he did. What would you do? Go all kung-fu on him?"
"..." I stayed quiet.
Takeru couldn't take it no more, "You know what, I don't have to put up with this. If that's how you are going to be, fine. I should go, I need to find Akira," my brother said as he left walking fast into the cafeteria.
I rolled my eyes, "Please..."
I went back inside the cafeteria and headed towards the vending machines to grab a bag of chips and a soda.
"Ha-ha. Very funny baka." A voice stood out from the rest of the students to my right. "You two better not try that again. It was freak'n hard to find my books." I recognized the voice; it's Taichi.
"Believe me Taichi, it was all Daisuke's idea. I was just ... seduced into helping." That voice definitely belonged to Shiro.
I turned around to see Taichi talking to his friends. Daisuke caught my attention since he is wearing a very pissed off Pillsbury Doughboy t-shirt that read: "Try to poke me now". A/N: I know that students in Japan wear uniforms... but in this fic they're not.
"Dai, don't tell me you're bothering Taichi again" Ken told Daisuke sweetly. Daisuke turned to face Ken and smiled.
"I was not bothering him. I just... gave him a challenge," Daisuke answered.
I ignored the rest of their conversation and brought my full attention to Taichi. I've must have stared at him, through my blond bangs, for quite a while before he felt my stare and turned to face me. I quickly turned my gaze to my bag of chips and took a sip of my soda. I can't believe I got busted!
After a minute, I looked back at Taichi again but this time he was staring at me. He quickly saw my discomfort and smiled. He mouth the word "Hi." I quickly glanced around me to see if he was actually talking to me and not someone else. Once I saw that no one was paying attention to him, I also said "Hi." and smiled.
I do not want to be here right now. I walked over to the nearest trashcan, which was at the other end of the cafeteria, when I heard a voice close behind me. "Boo."
'Boo?' The person in my dream said 'Boo'. What a coincidence. I turned around and I came face to face with no other than Taichi.
I was startled by the closeness, "Hey-hey," I smiled nervously and took a step back.
He put his hands in his pant's pocket and said, "Did I scare you?"
"Yes," my voice went high pitched. What did I just do? My face suddenly felt hot. Please don't tell me I'm blushing...
Taichi leaned in closer with his eyes squinted, "Are you blushing?"
Damn... I put my hand on my cheek to cover up the redness, "What do you want Taichi?" I said kind of fast, hoping Taichi would forget about the blushing thing.
Taichi went back to his regular position and smiled, "Yup, you are blushing."
"I-I gotta go," I said as I was about to leave but Taichi stopped me.
"Wait, don't leave," he replied quickly.
I turned around and studied him, "What?"
Taichi asked, "So are you g-going grab some lunch?"
I lift my hands up to show that I had finished munching on chips and tossed it in the trashcan, "No."
He raised an eyebrow, "I need to teach you what food is."
This is awkward... "So...why are you here?"
"Can't I come over and say hi? Or you don't want to see me right now?" Taichi asked.
"Yes-I mean no-I mean..." I got myself confused. I glanced up at the brunette who bit his bottom lip and smiled at the same time.
He stared at me, "Go on..."
"...hi..." was all I could say at this moment.
Taichi laughed and said, "Man, you get nervous pretty quickly."
"...I guess..."
Taichi stopped laughing and took a deep breath. He smiled and said, "Oh yeah, what I said back there in the restroom about nothing is going to change between us...I'm want to take that back."
Wait a minute...did I hear what I thought I heard? He wants to take it back? I squinted my eyes, "What?"
"I realized that I was acting like a spoiled brat and I didn't mean to hurt you. I was just shocked when you told me that...well, you know...and I responded without thinking. Sorry..."
I didn't know what to say; I was speechless, "Umm...well I-"
"Yamato!" I heard someone yell my name across the cafeteria.
I looked behind me and saw no one there. Everyone was sitting down and eating their food. Others were in the lunch line waiting to get their meal. There was absolutely no one trying to get my attention. "Yamato? What's wrong?" Taichi asked.
I glanced back at the teen and said, "Did you hear someone call out my name?"
Taichi studied me, "No..."
"Are you sure because I heard someone yell my name."
"Yamato...no one called your name," Taichi said.
"But I did-" I stopped, "I'm probably just hearing things..."
"Yeah..."
"Hey Taichi, hurry up. We need to get our fod," somebody said behind Taichi.
The brunette turned around and his three friends were there. "It's food," Shiro corrected Daisuke.
"Whatever," Daisuke said and looked and pointed at me, "Hey, you're that guy that Taichi can't stop thi-"
"Daisuke...," Taichi interrupted.
Daisuke continued, "-nking abo-"
The brunette glared at the airhead, "Daisuke, shut-up," he said between his teeth.
Daisuke looked at Taichi with a mischief smile as though he was saying, 'Try to stop me but either way I am still going to say it.' He slowly said, "Abbbbboooooouuuuuuuttttttt..."
I blushed once again. Shiro and Ken were both shocked and had their mouth wide open. "Let's go grab our lunch," Taichi replied angrily and started heading to the lunch line. He dragged Daisuke and the others followed right behind them. "I'll see you in class tomorrow Yama-"
"Chan," Daisuke cut in.
I heard a slap after that and I just stood there. Were they just messing with my head?
