Okay, so I know I haven't updated in awhile, I'm sorry! My internet was cut, so I am without Dx. I'll try and updated a lot quickly though, I've had time to write! Huzzah! Enjoy. And I haven't given up! I promise, I'm writing a ton more!
Oh and to Physco Weasel. I think it's funny you like BOTH of my stories. Because I've read almost all of yours about Digimon and absolutely adore them. Ehehe :). And I know there's a lot of typos! I should go back and fix them when I can ;]
Yamato
I wake up in a room that is somehow mine, but not. It is familiar It is dangerous. Somewhere to my right a boy is crying. The sound makes me panic. I want to find him. I pull myself away from the bed. I throw open the large double doors to the bedroom that is mine, but not. I search every door down the long hallway towards the right. There is no boy. The sound doesn't get any louder, either. I trail back to the double doors. The only ones that were left open. I search down the left, and there's still nothing.
"Matt." I whirl. He's here. Why is he here? Andrew comes towards me. Arms open. Inviting me. I don't want to go, but my feet lead me into his arms. The want to feel loved by the person who 'raised' me is even in my dreams. He wraps his arms around me and holds me against him. Leads me to my room. Before I know it, the bed is beneath me. He is on top, pushing, pushing. The zip. My mouth opens and I go to scream.
I jerk awake. Billy's not in my bed, and I search for him, eyes scanning the room quickly. Then the noise from my dreams hits me. The crying. I glance at the clock. 2 pm. Really? I jump up and enter Takeru's room. Green and blue eyes glance up at me. Takeru is curled up in Billy's arms crying. Baby's head is against Billy's leg.
"What's happening?" English. Billy shrugs.
"Just woke up about ten minutes ago myself," Takeru does not seem interested in our conversation, he is scared. Of what, I don't know. Billy seems more at ease comforting my younger brother, so I let him. I sit beside them, though.
"What's the matter?"
"S-s-some g-guy was here. Dad got r-r-really a-angry and they got into a f-f-fight..a-and.." I bite my lip. Billy barely even glances at me. He rocks Takeru gently. I tug gently on Baby's collar, and she follows me. I take the steps carefully. I know who was here. I can hear Natsuko and Hiroaki arguing quietly. As I approach the living room, Baby licks my hand. I enter the room, and I wait for them to notice me. They don't.
"Mom?" It's quiet, they both turn to look at me. Hiroaki is sporting a black eye.
"Yamato! How long have you bee-"
"I just got up."
"How's Takeru?"
"Scared, I guess. Or upset." My mom goes to get up.
"He's with Billy. I just came to ask if it was Andrew." Silence from them both, and I know I'm right. As I turn to leave the phone rings, and at the steps, my father says my name.
"Yeh?" I call back.
"It's Taichi. He wants to know if you three want to go meet him at the park." I debate. Do I want to be in public knowing Andrew is around. Not really. But Takeru could use the distraction.
"Sure." I take the steps quickly. I re-enter my brothers room. He is no longer crying, but he still sits close to Billy.
"Taichi and Kari want us to go meet them at the park." I say both in English and Japanese. Takeru automatically gets up and starts looking through his clothes. Billy,Baby and I go back to my room. Billy dumps the the contents of his backpack out on my bed. two pairs of jeans, a shirt, a sweater, and an iPod charger. He grabs his shirt and sweater and a pair of dark grey jeans and disappears down the hall. I look through my things. I choose black skinny jeans, and a sky blue t-shirt. My sweater zips up the front and has a heart on the chest. I'm sliding my shoes on as Takeru and Billy enter my room together. I can tell this will be a rush to the park. Takeru wants out of here. I tie my shoes, and we leave the house together. Billy stays ever so slightly behind us. Takeru and I walk side by side.
Taichi
I watch T.K, Yamato and Billy approach. Yamato and Billy could easily kill someone with their looks. And I never did notice how much alike the brothers looked. T.K could almost be Yamato's twin, but not quite. T.K wore tan shorts, and a green and yellow t-shirt. Both of the older boys wore sweaters, although the whether was getting nicer. Billy's t-shirt was exposed. It was black with a red tie drawn onto it. Yamato's sweater just showed a half broken heart, due to the zipper. My eyes drifted to his, and my heart skipped. He was looking right at me. I couldn't help my giggle. Kari looked at me and rolled her eyes.
"It's a boy, Taichi." She scolded. Yamato's eyebrow shot up. They were in hearing distance. Kari turned her attention back to T.K and Yamato. She jumped up.
"T.K! What's wrong!" Leave to to Kari to notice the younger blonde had been crying right away. I wouldn't have even noticed if she didn't say anything. There's silence as T.K looks at his brother. Yamato's eyes narrow. T.K just shakes his head.
"Parents fighting again, it's nothing."
"Alright..." Kari doesn't believe him, and neither do I.
"So, what did you want Yagami?" Yamato. His tone is ice. His eyes are hard, but oh my God is he beautiful. I fell for him hard, and fast. And only Kari knew. Which was the reason we'd asked them here. Kari latched herself to T.K's arm and started leading him up the path. Yamato and I fell into step behind them, and Billy was behind us. As we walked, our hands continuously bumped. Yamato didn't pull away. Was I getting somewhere maybe? I really hope so.
Yamato
As I watch Taichi, something stirs in my stomach. Something I have been ignoring pretty much every time I see the brunette boy. I think I might just like him too. He walks close enough to me that our hands touch once in awhile, and I get a jolt every time our skin meets. Billy moves forward slightly and bumps me, causing me to jump out of the way and land on Taichi. He grabs me before I fall though. Billy winks at me. I growl and pull myself away from Taichi. I walk with Takeru and Kari, and Taichi and Billy walk together.
"I think maybe Billy's invincible," I hear my brother whisper to Kari. Kari looks around him to see me. I look directly into her eyes and she looks away. I feel bad for scaring her, but..Sometimes it needs to be done. Suddenly, a hand grabs my shoulder. I turn to look at Taichi, who is looking towards a bench in front of us.
"Is that..?" I look at the guy. Takeru has frozen too, and won't let Kari move any further away from him. He is shaking.
"We're fine." Billy knows Andrew from watching me on webcam. Billy doesn't look worried. He watches the man too, as he gets up and approaches us. The fake smile I know so well plasters on his face.
"Taichi, hi." He says. Taichi backs up, pulling me with him. Takeru yanks Kari back behind Billy. I hear her gasps. And I hear him whisper in her ear.
"That's Yamato's dad."
"I'm sorry you know, about last time. Both of you." He looks at me. My eyes narrow. Although Billy doesn't know what he's saying, he rolls his eyes. He's heard the fake tone too many times. He knows it's lies.
"Sure you are." I say. Taichi's eyes slip to me. I pull my arm, and walk past him. Taichi and Billy follow. I assume Takeru pushed Kari in front of him, because he yelps. I spin around Andrew is holding Takeru. It almost looks like a hug.
"Let him go." Ice. Taichi looks ready to pounce on Andrew. and my eyes slide to Billy. He looks ready to attack, too. Good. Kari slips behind us.
"Matt.." She whispers. Andrew laughs.
"Come on, Matty."
"Don't call me that."
"No? Why not."
"Let my brother go."
"And if I don't?"
"You will," Billy says.
"And who're you?" Andrew asks throwing his attention to Billy. Billy opens his mouth. I beat him to it.
"I thought he told you were I was." Billy eyes widen.
"WHAT?" He shouts. Takeru and Taichi jump.
"If I had believed him, you wouldn't be here." I say without looking at Billy. It is Takeru that notices my fingers. I keep talking. Explaining to Billy what Andrew had said. And Takeru jerks away and runs to me. He spins around me, and his one hand stays on my waist as he hides against me.
"Touch my brother again. I dare you." Andrew opens his mouth and my eyes narrow.
"I fucking dare you." I repeat. He turns and walks away. Takeru's other arm slips around my waist and he hugs me. My hand drops to his arm in comfort. He lets me go, and stays right at my side. Once again, all we did was walk around. Billy seems pretty content with it. I'm not okay with just walking. Tai and Kari keep looking back at me.
"I'm fine." I try to reassure Tai. Or maybe myself. Either way, I'm glad Taichi was by my side through it. I don't think I would've been so brave without him.
