Thanks to the people who showed interest in this story and reviewed the previous chapter :) Oh and I'm gonna post the pic on Deviantart, someday...when I create an account.

This was fun to write too, enjoy :) Lazy to copy and paste so see first chapter for what the Jap suffixes mean.

Now that he concentrated, he could definitely hear noises from behind those bushes. Narrowing his blue eyes, Yamato swept the bushes aside without mercy, exposing the Chosen Children, Gabumon and Agumon. He glared down at them, cheeks tinted with red, "W-What are you guys doing there?!"

Mimi removed herself from the ground, sitting up. She gave the blond a sly wink, "Watching you two of course!" The girl with the cowboy hat grinned, eyes shining, "Oh, I always knew you two were together!"

"W-What?!" Jyou exclaimed in disbelief, "You two are together!?"

Koushiro played up their 'act' by gaping, "T-That is shocking information indeed…"

"Yamato!" Gabumon stepped forward, his red eyes wide, "You and Taichi…?!"

Yamato blushed. "We're NOT together!" He yelled in embarrassment.

"But Onii-chan," Takeru said innocently. "Why were you forming a heart with Taichi-san then?"

"A heart represents love!" Hikari followed with brightly, turning her gaze to Taichi, "Right, Onii-san?"

"Uh…" Taichi said.

Agumon winked, giving him a thumbs up. "Go get him, Taichi!"

Taichi sweatdropped. "Agumon…"

Yamato wondered if he would ever stop blushing. "T-That's because…"

"Onii-chan," Takeru hid his sly smile, replacing it with a concerned look. "Your face is red!"

"T-Takeru…" Yamato said, reaching up a hand to feel his burning cheek. He grimaced. "You don't have to tell me that."

Realizing she was the only one who hadn't said anything, Sora stood up, looking accusingly at Taichi. "Taichi!"

Taichi- it was Taichi who was the cause of all this! Yamato turned to the brunette, who didn't look surprised at the others' presence. His eyes widened in realization and he glared at the holder of courage, "Taichi! You knew they were watching, didn't you?!"

Taichi gave him an innocent look which Yamato could not believe was real. "I didn't, Yama!" He smiled sheepishly, seemingly unaffected by Yamato's glare. "I just saw the bushes move!"

Which meant Taichi had been aware of the others' presence. Yamato twitched, fists clenching. "Really…"

"Really!" Taichi said, still smiling. Yamato advanced towards him menacingly and nervousness appeared on his features. "Hey Yamato, calm down! It's no big deal-whoa!" he yelped as he narrowly dodged Yamato's fist. "Hey, watch where you're swinging that!"

"GET BACK HERE, YAGAMI TAICHI!" Yamato bellowed furiously as he chased after the retreating brunette. "You coward!"

"Hey I'm the keeper of courage- I'm not a coward!" Taichi protested indignantly as he ran away from Yamato.

"If you're not a coward then stop-" Yamato growled as his fist missed Taichi again. "Running!"

Taichi sweatdropped. "If I do that, you'll beat me up!" He said as he glanced back. "I already have enough bruises from you!"

"Well," Koushiro said, breaking the silence amongst them. "I suppose we're safe now."

Sora nodded, smiling. "Because of Taichi, we won't have to deal with Yamato-kun's wrath."

Jyou sighed in relief, lifting a hand to his heart. "Thank god!"

Taichi blinked as Yamato just glared at him. He sighed. Oh well, he supposed he deserved the beating he was about to get. He grinned. It was so worth it though.

Yamato hadn't really expected Taichi to stop. When Taichi did indeed stop and turned to face him smiling like an idiot, the blond's eyes widened and he wasn't able to stop himself from colliding into the brown haired boy, sending them both tumbling to the ground with yelps of pain.

"Taichi!" Sora darted forward in worry with the Chosen Children and Yamato's and Taichi's digimon. "Yamato-kun!"

"Yamato!" Gabumon called out, "Are you alright-" he stopped short at the scene before him.

"Oh my god." Jyou said dazedly while Koushiro and Sora stared in shock as Agumon grinned widely and Takeru and Hikari high fived each other as Mimi fought to contain her glee.

"I knew this had to happen sometime!"

Meanwhile, Yamato was staring in shock at Taichi whom he had landed on top of and looked equally surprised. Somewhere in the chaos of his shocked, disbelieving, humiliated consciousness, he registered the fact that he had been unfortunate enough to land on Taichi in such a position that their lips were touching.

Their lips were touching. His lips were touching Taichi's. He was kissing Taichi. Kissing. Taichi. Yamato had had to process the surprising piece of information several times before it finally sank in to his muddled mind.

The blond gasped and quickly withdrew, blushing furiously as he stared down at Taichi. That had not just happened. That did not happen! He did not just kiss Taichi in front of everyone!

Taichi looked up at Yamato. He raised a hand to his lips, looking as if he was in a dream. "That was my first kiss," he said dazedly, "I…just kissed Yamato."

"I need time to compute this information." Koushiro said weakly as he stared at the blushing Yamato and dazed looking Taichi.

"Me too." Jyou added.

"Me three." Sora said. Mimi was still struggling not to squeal from beside her.

"Oh, if only I had taken a picture!"

Sora sweatdropped. "Mimi-chan…"

…That had happened. He had kissed Taichi. In front of everyone. And it was his first kiss too. Well, he needed time to compute this information!

His face had never felt so hot before. Yamato felt like sinking into the ground and hiding in the darkness where no one would find him. But the laws of physics didn't make that possible, even in the Digiworld, and he shot up, scrambled off Taichi and fled like the coward he had accused Taichi of being.

Or not. He wasn't being a coward. He just needed time to, well, compute this information. Yamato lifted a hand to his lips, flushing darkly. Stupid Taichi. Forcing him to form a heart with him and then kissing him. Well, technically he was the one whom had kissed Taichi but it was Taichi's fault in the first place! Yamato screwed his eyes shut. He wasn't sure if he would ever be able to look at Taichi in the same way again.

"Y-Yamato-Taichi-k-kiss." Gabumon stuttered, too shocked to chase after the retreating Yamato.

"Great job, Taichi!" Agumon said excitedly as he moved to his partner. He winked, "I didn't know you could be so sly!"

"W-What- I wasn't!" Taichi flushed, protesting as he raised himself from the ground. "It was an accident!"

Agumon blinked. "It was?" He asked in genuine surprise, "But, you were just standing there…"

"Was the heart forming an accident too, Taichi?" Sora asked wryly.

"Well, of course not- but it was mutual, I swear!" Taichi said defensively as the others stared at him. "I didn't force him or anything!"

Agumon tilted his head. "You…manipulated him then?"

"Agumon!" Taichi said indignantly.

"What?"

"Well, onii-chan," Hikari started with an encouraging smile, "If you and Yamato-san get together I will definitely support you!"

"Me too!" Takeru said, smiling, "My Onii-chan trusts you a lot, Taichi-san!"

Taichi's face turned pink, but he didn't deny it. Sora stared at him. "Taichi," she said slowly. "You like Yamato-kun that way?"

"Uh…" Taichi said. Seeing everyone looking at him expectantly, with Mimi's expression being an eager one, he sighed and said, "Y-Yeah…?"

"Really?"

"…Maybe." Taichi mumbled.

Sora glared. "Taichi."

"Yeah! Yeah, I do like like Yamato!" Taichi confessed quickly, flushing, "Even if it may be wrong!"

Sora sighed as Mimi released the squeal she had been holding in beside her. "It's not wrong Taichi, love is love," the holder of the crest of love said knowingly, as she eyed her childhood friend. She sighed in exasperation. "So, you were trying to win his heart?"

Taichi just nodded, and Sora glowered at him, placing her hands on her hips, "Taichi, that's no way to win Yamato-kun's heart!" She reprimanded, frowning, "I'm surprised you even convinced Yamato-kun to do that with you!"

"W-Well, you guys ruined my plan!" Taichi retorted, pouting. "I was supposed to tell him I liked him while we were forming the heart! But 'cause of you guys," he pointed accusingly at the Digidestined, "I didn't get the chance!"

"Really," Sora said disbelievingly, her mouth twitching as Mimi giggled, "That's the best you could come up with?"

"Eh, I can't exactly give him flowers can I?" Taichi countered at Sora's skepticism, "There are no flowers here anyway."

Takeru and Hikari giggled, and Sora looked at Taichi with a deadpan expression. "Confessing your feelings to Yamato would be a good first step." She said dryly. "Without going about it in a roundabout manner."

Taichi frowned. "Oh yeah, that'd be so easy," he reached out and grabbed Sora's hands, drawing out, "Oh Yamato, I just realized I like you more than a friend. Even if you hate me. So will you go out with me?"

Sora grimaced and took her hands away. "If I were Yamato, I wouldn't even consider," she said bluntly, "I'd think you were joking."

"That's exactly the problem!" Taichi groaned. "If I confess my feelings he'll either laugh at me and say I must be joking or get angry and punch me!"

"But you were planning to confess just now." Takeru pointed out, blinking.

Taichi flushed, "That's...different!" He said. He sighed and looked away, "I had the courage just now, the moment was perfect!" He exclaimed, turning his gaze back to his blinking friends, "But now, I've lost my nerve! And since we...kissed," Taichi bit his lip, cheeks pink. "Yamato's gonna avoid me and we'll be back to square one!" He moaned.

The Chosen Children and the digimon exchanged looks amongst themselves before they turned to their distraught leader, various expressions on their faces.

"Well Taichi-san, you have to be sincere!" Mimi stated, frowning for the first time in a while. "You have to show Yamato-kun you really like him!"

"Even if Yamato-san doesn't like you back," Koushiro said knowledgeably, "He'll at least know of your feelings for him. You won't be hiding anything from him anymore."

"Trust is important, Taichi." Jyou joined in. He nodded. "You're not being honest towards your feelings for Yamato by hiding them."

"You've got to have hope, Taichi-san!" Takeru told him, smiling brightly, "Never give up!"

"Darkness can't exist without light." Hikari smiled up at him. "No matter how hopeless you think it is, you'll always still have a chance."

"You're the bearer of courage, Taichi!" Agumon reminded him, grinning toothily. "Yamato isn't even an enemy! You have no reason to be scared!"

"Yamato treasures your friendship," Gabumon said honestly. "He won't hate you if he doesn't return your feelings."

Sora grinned. "So what are you waiting for!?" She gave the surprised Taichi a gentle shove, "Go and tell Yamato you love him!"

Taichi stared at his friends. "Really?" He asked hesitantly. "Are you guys sure?"

"Why wouldn't we be sure, Taichi-san?" Koushiro asked, and there was genuine curiosity in his voice.

"Yeah. Although this is, um...surprising," Jyou cleared his throat, then looked up to smile at Taichi, "I don't really see anything wrong with it. I mean, there's nothing wrong with liking someone..." he flushed slightly.

"Oh?" Mimi smiled slyly as she turned to gaze at Jyou, "Do you like someone, Jyou-san?"

Jyou blushed, stuttering, "N-No!" He shook his head furiously, "Definitely not!"

"Really?" Mimi said innocently as she leaned closer to Jyou.

"Yes really!"

Mimi seemed to ignore him, her smile widening, "Could it be...you like me?"

"Yeah- I mean, NO!" Jyou looked horrified when he realized what he had just said. "Forget what I said!"

Mimi pouted at him, almond eyes sad, "I'm hurt, Jyou-san..." she said, looking up at him, "Am I not pretty enough for you?"

"Eh? You're really pretty, Mimi-wait, no!" Jyou seemed to be panicking, his eyes wide as he backed away from Mimi. Everyone stared at him and he twitched, "Weren't we talking about Taichi and Yamato-kun?!"

Mimi grinned and latched on to Jyou's arm, "Awww. Relax, Jyou-san!" She reassured with a smile, "I was just teasing you!"

"But of course, if you like me..." the girl in the cowboy hat gave the bespectacled boy a wink, "I wouldn't be surprised."

"M-Mimi-chan..."

Mimi smiled widely at the blushing Jyou, released his arm and skipped away, turning her attention back to Taichi, who had looked relieved when the attention left him. "Soooo Taichi-san, when are you gonna confess to Yamato-kun?"

Taichi blinked. "Do I have to?" He said nervously.

"Of course, Onii-chan!" Hikari looked affronted as she stared up at her brother. "You have to tell Yamato-san you like him!"

"If you don't confess, I'll tell Onii-chan myself!" Takeru frowned.

Taich winced as Koushiro sighed, "Taichi-san," he said placatingly, "There's nothing to be afraid of."

"That's right, Taichi!" Sora was frowning at him, her hands on her hips, "After all we've said, you still don't want to tell Yamato-kun your feeilngs for him?" She huffed. "I'm disappointed in you, Taichi! I thought you would be more courageous!"

Taichi stared at Sora, who met his gaze, then moved his gaze to the others. Jyou's face was still pink but he gave Taichi a nod, Mimi's eyes were shining brightly and she was smiling, Koushiro was giving him a slightly hesitant but encouraging smile, Takeru was looking up at him hopefully, and Hikari was smiling at him, the light of trust shining in her eyes. He then turned to Gabumon, who looked him in the eye with a nod, and then his own partner Digimon, who gave him a wide grin.

"Do it, Taichi!" Agumon winked.

Taichi stared, then smiled at his friends' support. Maybe there really was nothing to be afraid of, after all.

Sighing, the leader turned and nodded to his group, his usual grin back on his face.

"Right. Thanks, everyone!"

Well hope you enjoyed that. Please review.
