Hello hello. My next chappie. I realized I kept forgetting a disclaimer (I think...)
Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon. But I do own this fic. Which is... something I guess...?
I'm sleeping on the roof tonight. Why? No reason. Reminds me of him that's all. Maybe I'll just be falling asleep, and I'll see him walking down the street, and he'll call out to me like he always does. The same old, 'Heeeyyy Taaaichi!' I can almost hear it now...
"Heeeyyy Taaaichi!" whoa, that sounds a lot like it. I must be hallucinating again. "Heeeeyyy Taaaichi!" And this time it doesn't want to go away. I roll over on my side, facing away from the noise. "Taaaichi! C'mon man! Talk to me!" Finally I sit up, furious that I just can't be left alone. But then I see him.
"Hey Yamato," I said to the blonde figure that just appeared next to me, like he just does sometimes.
"Hey Taichi. I haven't seen you in a while."
"Yeah, its been a while since I needed a talk, but now I think I do."
"Oh?"
"Yamato, I think I found you." He smiles.
"I knew you would. After all, I would never really leave you Taichi. So, you found me. Does anyone believe you?" I shake my head sadly. He can always read my mind. "Well then, you might have a hard time with it."
"Yeah, I know. Mimi was so suspicious, asking me if I was over-dosing on my medicine again. But, I don't need that to see you Yamato." I said with a grin.
"So, what are you going to do?" I shrug, "What are you going to do?" I shrug again, but again he repeats it over and over. Oh no. Its happening again.
"Be quiet, please be quiet." He grins that sly grin.
"You don't want me to go away, do you Taichi? Taaaiiichiiii... Taaiiichiiii..." He's gone, but I can still here him.
"Seriously, SHUT UP!"
"Ok, fine, geez man." I open my eyes and see Yamato (Yamaru) walking away from my street. The word dead plays at the back of my mind as I call out to him.
"Wait! Yamat- I mean Yamaru! Sorry! I was having a bad dream! Please come back..." I don't think he hears me. "Please..." he keeps walking and I fall back down. Until I hear feet crunching on the grass. I look down and there he is. Smiling. He laughs.
"Hey you remembered my name this time! So um, can I come up?" I nod eagerly and hold the ladder still as he climbs up. He looks around. "Nice place you got here, but do you mind telling me why your on the roof?" I shrug and grin sheepishly. "So um, bad dream huh?" I nod and look down. "When I have bad dreams, I usually feel better if I talk about them." I nod again. "So, you want to talk about it?" Another nod. I take a deep breath and wonder, should I really tell him?
"I um, dreamed I saw my friend again."
"Well, that doesn't sound-"
"My friend is dead. He um, yeah. And so um, it was scary." I say with a sigh, "seeing him here." well, no really... "And he just wouldn't shut up! I mean geez. But, he's not real... he's dead," I say ending it with a bitter laugh. Yamato (Yamaru) frowns.
"I'm sorry. About your friend I mean. But maybe... this dream is a sign of not being able to let go..." If only you knew. We sit in silence for a while, and I am reminded of a night years back. We could've only been 7 or 8 at the time.
/flashback/
"Hey Yammy?" said the little Taichi sitting on the roof, snuggled in a blanket next to his best friend.
"Huh?" Said Yamato not turning around from the stars.
"Why are there stars?"
"Didn't you listen in class? Stars are fire in the sky."
"But why? And we do we see them? Why are they so pretty if they're just fire?" Yamato shrugged.
"I
dunno. But umm, my daddy told me s'story 'bout them. Ya wanna hear?"
Taichi nodded eagerly and snuggled up closer to Yamato. "Well
ums. Ya see, a long time ago the sky at night was all black. And ums,
the little kids got really scared and sad at night. Two little boys
got especially sad and scared whenever it turned all dark cuz they
thought it wouldn't turn light again."
"That's
silly!" interrupted Taichi. Yamato gave him a glare and he
settled back down.
"So ums, they like, decided one night they would put all their hopes and dreams and stuffs into the sky to make it prettier." Taichi thought about that for a second.
"But wouldn't they lose them?" Yamato shrugged.
"Maybe they had a copy machine like my daddy does in his office. Soz anyways, they put all their hopes and dreams up in the sky and made one single big star. All the others little kids saw that and said, 'we want to do that too!' So they did and um, the sky then had a bunch of pretty light called the stars. And um, none of them were as big as the first one though. The one the two boys made. My daddy said its that one," said Yamato pointing to a big star with what seemed to be a tail. "He said its the North Star."
"Like where Santa lives?" Yamato laughed.
"That's the North Pole dummy."
"I'm not a dummy! Pole and Star sound the same!" Yamato rolled his eyes.
"Soz anyways, my daddy said that if I get lost I should follow that star." Taichi nodded, rubbing his eyes with his balled up little fists, settling down to sleep.
"Yammy?" he said once they turned off their flashlight.
"Hmmm?"
"If you get lost, and have to follow that star. I'll be here waiting. But its cold, so don't get lost!" Yamato nodded sleepily.
"I won't."
"Promise?"
"Promise."
/end flashback/
"Promise..." I whisper into the wind. Yamato (Yamaru) looks over at me.
"I'm sorry?" I shake my head.
"Nothing. And um, sorry to dump all of this on you. I mean, you must think I'm pretty weird." I bet he doesn't. He is Yamato after all. He smiled that smile that makes my heart want to burst out of my chest and hug him.
"Don't
worry." Told you so. "In fact, I bet you think I'm kinda
weird for finding you and calling out to you." That's so
Yamato. "We are kind of strangers after all." Well... that
depends on how you look at it. He gets up to leave. I have an urge to
reach out, grab him, and never let him go. But I hold it back. "Later
Taichi."
"Later." And just as easily as he came,
he's gone. Just like that, he's gone.
Yay. My fourth Chapter. Hooray. Sorry this took a while. And sorry its so short. It took me a while to decide on what to do. And, for those who didn't just read the third chapter, I took out that video camera thing. It made no sense.
