Yamato's point of view
Urgh, why won't Rick answer his door? He knew I was coming over here and now he's keeping me waiting. I've been standing out here for exactly three minutes and forty-five. . .wait. . .forty-six seconds. Doesn't he know that I interrupted my busy schedule to talk to him. He shouldn't keep me waiting like this.

I had so many things to do. First I was going to kick Taichi's ass, then make a nice cup of coffee and read a nice book. Then, after getting tired of the book, I was going to kick Taichi's ass again, make Taichi dinner, watch a movie with Taichi, plot Taichi's downfall. My schedule was just too full and yet I made room to fit talking with Rick in there.

It doesn't matter if I was the one that wanted to talk to Rick, it's still his fault that it's interrupting my busy schedule. Now he's keeping me waiting outside his door like I have nothing better to do than stand here all day.

"Sorry Yamato, I was in the shower," Rick said as he opened the door.

"What a inadequate time to take a shower. You knew I was coming over."

"No wonder Rick broke up with you. You're a total bitch."

Oh goody Rick's boyfriend is here.

"Shut up Jesse," Rick said to his darling lover.

"Well, why don't you invite him in Rick? He didn't come all the way over here to stand in the hall."

Rick welcomed me in and I followed him into the living room where Jesse was sitting of the couch. I've been to Rick's apartment before so I was used it. I plopped myself down on the sofa and glared at Jesse.

"I'm going to go put some clothes on." Rick said.

He ran away hurriedly looking a little red in the face. I didn't even notice that he wasn't wearing anything but a pair of boxers. Why did he even answer the door? What if it wasn't me but some poor old lady?

"Rick really needs to think before he answers the door," Jesse said.

"Why didn't you answer the door?"

"I didn't want to. Haven't you figured it out, I'm jealous of you and don't want you around Rick."

"I admit that I am hot and everything, but Rick's in love with you. You shouldn't be jealous of me. Rick broke up with me to be with you didn't he?"

"Yeah."

I think I got my point across because the aura of hate around him had disintegrated. I didn't really want this guy to hate me. He seems like a great guy and someone I should be friends with. Oh man, I kill myself sometimes. Friends? Hehe.

"Sorry about that. So what did you want to talk about Yamato?" Rick said as he made his way to the living room.

He sat down next to Jesse, kissed him on the cheek and then looked over at me with a serious expression on his face. I didn't know what I was going to say to him. Well, I knew what I wanted to say, but how was I going to say it.

I shift my eyes to the floor and stare at a black spot on his white carpet. I remember that I made that spot the first time I came over here. Rick had startled me and I ended up spilling whatever it was that I was drinking at the time. Damn, why do these memories of being with him hurt so bad. Even seeing him with Jesse makes my chest hurt. What the hell is wrong with me?

"It's Tai," I finally say.

"What about him?" Rick asks.

"He's driving me insane! I told him that he could stay at my house for the rest of the summer because his aunt is a total nut. Now, he's driving me crazy. He's a total slob. He's extremely clingy. He's annoying, self centered, childish and worst of all after all the things he does I can't seem to hate him. He makes me smile, laugh, and even sometimes giggle. I'm not supposed to giggle! There's seriously something wrong with me and it's all Taichi's fault." I find myself standing up, and staring at Rick and Jesse after that long rant.

"Calm down Yamato. There's nothing wrong with you." Rick says.

I sit down again and close my eyes. Sure, he may say there's nothing wrong with me, but he knows there is. I know there is. I'm always feeling weird now.

"What do you mean there's nothing wrong with me?" I put my head back and stare at the ceiling. "I have these chest pains whenever I think of you. I swear I'm dying. Then whenever Taichi's around I feel fluttery. I can't deal with these feelings, with these emotions. Sometimes it comes at me with such a force that I just want to die. I've never felt this way and I don't want to feel this way."

Damn this wasn't supposed to happen. I was supposed to ask him what I should do about Tai, but these emotions took over my body and I'm telling him things that should just be pushed down and forgotten.

I wipe the tears that are forming in my eyes away and feel weight on the sofa I'm sitting on. I look up to find that Jesse has left Rick on thecouch to comfort me. Somehow I find myself balling in his shoulder and there's nothing I can do about it.

"It's okay to feel these emotions Yama. You are human after all. I know it hurts and I'm sorry for breaking your heart Yama, but you'll get over it. Tai's a good guy he'll take good care of you. All you have to do is trust him and ask him to love you," Rick says.

He joins us on the sofa that we're sitting on and takes me in his arms. I don't really know the meaning of his words and I'm not sure I want to know, but something he said has helped me. I no longer feel the ache. I'm no longer scared. However, I'm not happy.

"Thank you," I say after awhile.

Rick lets go of me and wanders over to the kitchen where he pours a glass of water. Jesse hangs onto me for a little while longer, brushing the blond hair out of my eyes. I feel that these two will be really good friends of mine from now on. This time it's no laughing matter. I'm serious.

Rick hands the glass over to me and I take a sip. Jesse finally lets me go as Rick takes a seat next to him. They both stare at me for awhile waiting for me to say something else.

"I'm sorry for crying. I didn't mean to. I didn't know I was going to. That's not what I came here to talk about," I say.

"It's okay to cry Yamato. Don't you feel better now?" Jesse asks.

"Yes."

"So you came over here just to tell us about Taichi?" Rick asks.

"Yes. I was going to ask you what I should do about him," I say quietly.

"Well, you love him don't you?" Rick asks.

"No," I look at him like he's some strange creature I've never seen before, "Are you insane or something? Why the hell would I be in love with someone like him?"

"You're back!" Rick yells.

"Shut up."

"Maybe you should tell Tai that you need some space right now. Maybe it seems like to you that he's pushing you into something that you don't want to be in right now. After all you just broke up with Rick, maybe you need time to heal. Just tell him to back off." Jesse said.

"Okay, let me tell you guys something. I am not in love with Taichi. Taichi is not in love with me. Got that?" They nod their heads, but I can see that they don't really believe me.

"You guys don't get it. I'm leaving. You're no help at all."

I get up and make my way to the door while those two idiots stare at me in confusion. It serves them right. What the hell did they eat today? They're both nuts in thinking that I could ever be in love with a guy like Taichi. Sure, he's a total babe, but he's not boyfriend material. He's too immature.

Also, how could a guy like that be in love with me. He's totally straight. Okay so he's not totally straight, but he definitely would not want to date a guy like me.

I think I'll stick to my plan to killing Tai. Nothing will stand in my way in achieving this goal. Nothing.

"Whoa! What the hell?"

Somehow I find myself on the ground in someone's yard. I think I tripped over something, but what? Ahha, there's the culprit. Stupid gnome. I can't even take a short cut through people's yards anymore because they put stupid things in the way.

Well, because these people are so stupid and blocked my way I'll steal their gnome and put them on my list of people I'm going to get rid of once I take over the world. Mwhaha. . .I'm done.

Maybe Tai will like the gnome. We could put it where the toaster should be.

"Tai I'm home."

Huh? What the hell? Why is Taichi on top of my brother? Why is Taichi screaming in total anger in my brother's face? Why the hell are they fighting like that?

"Takeru what the hell are you doing to Tai? Leave him alone!"

The two stare at me, obviously they didn't here my entrance, and then Taichi pounces.

"Yama, you're home!" he yells as he attaches himself to me causing us both to fall onto the floor.

That's much better. No one is aloud to touch Taichi but me and they're definitely not aloud to fight with him. He's mine.

"Yama I missed you so much!" Tai whispers in my ear.

I actually purr into his ear and pull him closer. He's so warm.

"How was your talk with Rick?" He asks.

Damn, he's so close and yet not close enough. He's so hot.

"Both him and his new boyfriend are insane. They think weird things," I say.

My hand finds its way under Tai's shirt and makes its way up his back. He's so fucking hot.

"You were crying," his breathing seems to have quickened as his hands find my hair, "Did he hurt you? I'll kill him if he did."

My other hand finds its way to his ass where it gives a quick squeeze. His ass is so sexy.

"He didn't hurt me Tai. I was crying from something else."

I can feel his heartbeat next to mine. They're both beating out of control. I'm so hot.

"You're better now?" he asks.

Why is it so hot in here?

"Yes. What were you doing while I was gone?"

He smiles at me before he whispers in my ear, "Growing up so that you'll love me back."

He then leaves me to lay on the ground in shock, the warmth leaving with him.

"I'm tired so I'm going to bed," He says.

I sense him leaving the room and yet I just lay here.

"Yamato, are you okay?" Takeru asks.

I sit up to find both Takeru and Hikari staring at me. They stare as if they've never seen two grown men feel each other up before. Tai and me do it all the time they should be used to it by now. I should be used to it by now, but that was . . . wow.

"Tai loves me?"

And that is where I will leave it off. Hope you all liked it. It's really getting somewhere now.

I want to explain the ending a little bit.

When Yamato says that Tai is hot the first time he means his temperature. When he says he's hot the second time he means that he's sexy. I think it's easy to figure out, but I just wanted to make sure you guys understood. I really don't know why. It's not important or anything. I just didn't want any misunderstandings.

Anyway, I hope you guys liked the chapter. I'm proud of this chapter, even though I think it's a little akward at parts. Thanks for reading! Please review. Even if you don't know what to say just review. Put some random stuff down if you have to. Tell me you like pie or something, just review. Don't be shy. Bye!
