"Did you get the concert tickets?" Taichi asked Koushirou in a whisper. They both looked at the teacher to make sure he wasn't looking at them, which he wasn't. He was reading a book to the class. They looked back at each other.
"Yes, here they are!" Koushirou said, producing four tickets. Taichi tilted his head. "What is the 4th ticket for?" he inquired.
"Well I met this girl who seems so lonely! So I invited her to come to the concert with us. She seemed overly pleased, for some reason." Koushirou explained, grinning.
"Way to cool, man. We got tickets to the concert!" Taichi was to overwhelmingly happy to care that Koushirou had invited someone else. He looked back straight at the teacher and started to listen to what the teacher was reading. Koushirou slipped the tickets back into his pocket and then joined Taichi.

Taichi and Koushirou were walking toward their Taichi's dorm. They lived in separate buildings, and it wasn't that far of a walk from one to the other. When they got to the gate of Taichi's dorm, Taichi went in and shut the gate. He turned around and grinned at Koushirou, "Thanks for getting those tickets, man. I really want to see this show. You're a life saver!" he exclaimed.
Koushirou nodded; happy he had made Taichi happy. Taichi leaned on the gate and said, "So how can I repay you, what do you need?" Taichi asked Koushirou.
The redhead grinned a smile that showed his teeth and leaned forward saying, "All I need is you." Taichi moved back and showed his hand in Koushirou's face, "what the heck!" he exclaimed and then laughed aloud. Koushirou laughed with him and pulled back, truly amused.
Taichi skipped up the old stone steps till he reached the top, and then turned around. "Thanks again, man, I would never have been able to go if it weren't for you!" he called to Koushirou.
Koushirou smiled big at him and said, "Love you!" before turning and running for his dorm gleefully.
-----
Both of the boys left school with Sora and the other girl Koushirou had invited during lunch hour. They were skipping the last half of school to go to the concert together. They got off the campus unseen, and went straight to Tai's red truck. They were all laughs and smiles, all four of them.
Amaya and Sora got along well and Sora whispered things into Amaya's ear that made her laugh. They were in the back seat of the car and Koushirou and Taichi were in the front.
Taichi and Koushirou were having a conversation about Taichi's soccer, which Koushirou listened intently to Taichi's blabbering and boasting.
-----
The concert went well, and they all had had an extremely wonderful time. As Koushirou and Taichi walked to their second half of the day class, they started talking about it.
When they entered the class they sat down in the back two seats by the window like always. After the bell rang the teacher, Mr. Odigawa, called attendance. Then he walked to Koushirou and Taichi, whom looked up at him quizzically.
"Why did you skip class, Taichi Yagami?" Taichi's jaw dropped; he didn't know what to say.
"And to go to a concert, of all things!" he exclaimed loudly. Taichi just stared at him and the teacher took his whip from his thigh, which was where he kept it; in his pocket, and which was leather, and cracked it on Taichi's desk loudly.
Taichi cringed and looked down, his eyes threatening to show tears of failure. Koushirou spoke up then to Mr. Odigawa, "It wasn't his fault, I forced him to go!"
Mr. Odigawa looked at Koushirou and shook his head, "You boys think you can just pull this on me?" he declared loudly. "I will not let this slip again. This goes for all of you!"
He looked at all the young adults in the class, "You are all adults! Act like it!" then he went to the front of the room and started the lessons for the day
