Taichi was greeted by the bright rays of sunlight as he closed the wooden door of his home behind him. He blinked a few times to get adjusted to the brightness before he made his way towards the castle. It wasn't a long walk but it was long enough for Taichi's mind to be filled with images of the dream he had before. He rubbed his temple as he looked up at the big castle walls that were the home of his best friend. His best friend he thought. How was it even possible to have a dream like that about your best friend! Taichi shook his head, he did not understand the dream nor the feeling it gave him afterwards at all.

A thought popped up in his mind maybe you love him His eyes widened, Impossible, Yamato was his best friend and a guy at that. How could he love a other male? He doubted it would even be accepted in the kingdom in the first place so why was he seriously thinking about the fact if he loved his best friend? Taichi groaned and felt his head starting to hurt, the dream felt so real, the feelings he had experienced were ones he never felt before yet they confused him.

His thoughts drifted off towards his best friend, his beautiful bright blue eyes had always been a thing Taichi loved about the other male. And those soft blonde strands of hair were matching his pale skin so very well. Taichi felt a strange but well known feeling appear once more. Realization hit him and his eyes went wide… I like Yamato….

Meanwhile at the castle

Takeru had been staring at him from across the dining table for almost a good hour now and Yamato started to feel very uncomfortable about it. "Stop staring at me like a creep" he hissed at his younger sibling who in his turn lifted his eyebrow "Ohhh is my big older brother intimidated by someone staring at him?" he jokingly said before he was interrupted by his father. "Boys, I told you two to not fight at the dining table" the king spoke to both his sons in a calm and deep voice.

Both males looked at their father before he spoke again "Yamato, as a upcoming king you have to learn to stay friendly towards people at all times, even if they provoke you" Yamato glared at his brother who had an amused grin on his face. "But dad.." the king interrupted before Yamato could finish his sentence "No 'but' Yamato, As upcoming king you will have to get used to people staring at you." Yamato sat back in his chair and folded his arms. The king shook his head "They will stare at you Yamato, in good or bad ways but they will stare, you have to start learning not to let that get to you my son" the king spoke calmly towards his son.

Yamato glared at his younger brother who was still staring at him with a smirk on his face. Takeru was about to stick his tongue out when his father spoke to him "Takeru, don't think you are off the hook young man" he said and now it was Yamato his turn to stare at the younger male. His father continued "Takeru, you have to stop provoking your brother, you are 18 years old and I expect mature behavior of you now" the king looked from one son to the other. "If you two want to fight so badly, go practice with a new weapon on the dummies not on each other"

Takeru looked at his father before replying in an irritated voice "Yamato always occupies the training hall so there is not much time left for me to actually practice" Yamato was going to give a good comeback to that when I felt his dads eyes onto him. "Is that true Yamato?" Yamato swallowed "Yes father… I have been using the training room a lot lately to practice my sword skills" He replied in a polite way before looking down.

The king nodded "And how did that go my son?" Yamato looked up at his father and nodded "Yes, I improved a lot" the king smiled at his eldest son "Yamato, how about you start learning to use a second weapon next to your sword?" Yamato looked at his father "A second weapon? Like what?" he asked. The king thought about it for a bit then answered "I think it would be good for you to start learning how to use a bow and arrows" Both males missed the smirk on Takeru's face at the mentioning of the bow and arrow. Yamato's eyes went wide.

Learning to use a bow and arrows was actually something he really wanted to do, he had seen Taichi do it so many times.

Taichi… His thoughts went back to the strange dream he had earlier but before he could think any further he was interrupted by his father. "Well Yamato, what do you say?" the king asked his eldest son. Yamato snapped out of his thoughts and nodded "I would actually really like that dad" he replied. The king studied his son "Yamato, isn't Taichi an Archer?" Yamato froze at the mentioning of his best friends name "Y-yes he is" he said trying his best to sound normal.

Takeru chuckled at his brothers reaction and carefully watched him, enjoying this more then he should. "Well then I think we found you someone who can teach you then" the king said satisfied "Since you two are already close I think it's a great idea that Taichi will teach you the skill of archery"

Yamato felt an strange feeling in his chest and flashbacks of the dream came back into his mind. His bright blue eyes found Taichi's dark brown ones and the two stood there just staring at each other, it felt like everything around them disappeared and it was just the two of them. He shook his head trying to shake the image out before it was too late.

The king called upon his guard who obediently walked towards the table. "Guard, send out an invitation to the archer Taichi Yagami, let him take a test to see if he is suitable enough to teach my son the skills of archery" the guard nodded and before he could walk away the king added one more thing "Oh and make sure he takes the test today, the sooner Yamato can start training the better" as the guard left the room the king looked at his youngest son.

"Once Taichi is proven to be a suitable teacher for your bother, you can use the training room for your sword practice Takeru" the king slowly stood up "Now excuse me boys, I have a meeting to attend to" and with that the king left the two brothers alone as he exited the dining room.

Takeru smirked at his brother before standing up "Well I guess I'm off to the village" he made his way to the door before turning around towards Yamato "Oh and Yamato?" Yamato gave him an annoyed 'hm' before crossing his arms once more. Takeru smiled warmly "You know I love you big bro, but sometimes you are just too fun to mess around with" and with that he left the dining room leaving Yamato alone with his thoughts.

Yamato smiled, he knew Takeru was right, even though they argued a lot they still cared deeply for each other. And he had to admit, the little arguments between them were somewhat amusing most of the time. He chuckled as he as well stood up and left the dining room.

-In front of the castle-

Taichi was greeted by one of the guards of the castle and showed the letter that was send to him by the king. "The king asked me to take a Archery test so I can teach Yamat- I mean the prince how to use a bow and arrows" He swallowed nervously, true this wasn't the first time he been here since he practically was at the castle every day, but since he got such an important letter it felt different to be here this time. Normally he would just meet up with Yamato and walk in together with him. But now he was on his own.

The guard chuckled "Nice to see you again mister Yagami, the king prepared the test in the garden, please follow me" he said before opening the door, letting Taichi in. Taichi followed the guard inside and into the garden where he saw targets set up, he looked impressed at the amount of targets available. They were everywhere, in the trees on the ground and he swore he even saw a few on moving objects.

"Welcome Yagami" The king greeted Taichi before sitting down in his chair. "Thank you, your highness" Taichi made a quick bow before standing back up. The king spoke again "Yagami, This test will decide if you are good enough to teach my son the skills of archery" he looked at the brown haired male before continuing " you have to hit all the targets within a time limit, if you succeed you are qualified to teach my son"

Taichi felt pressured, he really wanted to be the one to teach Yamato but he knew this wasn't an easy test to do. He nodded in understanding towards the king. "Yagami, are you ready to start the test?" he asked as he eyed the brown haired male. Taichi swallowed as he spoke "Yes your majesty" he took a last look at the targets. This was going to be a tough test…

-The training room-

Yamato quietly sat in the training room, he needed some time alone after the happenings in the morning. He sighed, the dream had been bothering him all morning and still was. The more he thought about it the more confused he felt. He closed his eyes, the feelings he felt during the dream were ones he never experienced before. Of course Yamato knew about the whole 'flowers and bees' so a dream like this wasn't something he should be so stressed about.

However, most men his age would have such dreams about women and not about other men. He rubbed his temple, why the heck did his dream involve a other male then? Taichi at that. Sure they had been friends since childhood and spend most of their time together. But they were just friends right? Right. He thought before another thought slipped into his mind Maybe you love him as more than a friend.

Yamato blushed at the thought before shaking his head, trying to get rid of that awful thought. No way, he was the upcoming king, he couldn't love another male, they would burn him alive for that! Besides this was Taichi we were talking about! His best friend! He shuddered at the idea of an angry village coming after him and burning him alive. He opened his eyes and stared at the floor not knowing what to feel or think.

His mind started to wander again and he suddenly thought of Taichi's beautiful dark brown eyes and soft lips that moved closer to his, he froze Beautiful eyes? soft lips!? He felt his heart beat in his chest and felt heat rising to his cheeks, what was this feeling? and then it hit him… hard.. his eyes wide with shock… I like Taichi….
