Chapter 6:
Hit the ground running

By: ChaoticSpecter

Disclaimer: Alas, I own
nothing pertaining to Digimon�

A/N: This work of
fiction centers around two males in a sexual relationship. If homosexuality
offends you, please hit the back button on your browser. Those of you remaining
enjoy�A short note for those that comment on the OOCness of the characters: the
whole point of the fic is for them to be OOC. I have put them in a situation
that they would not be in if they were in the actual anime. I think it is only
realistic to write these characters the way that I have considering the
emotionally taxing situation that I have put our brave heroes in. And now�the
long awaited (in my mind) chapter six�

�� Fingers
were slowly moving through my hair while a soft voice whispered in my ear. I
was surrounded by warmth feeling peaceful and safe--like I did whenever I woke
in Yamato�s arms. I smile softly turning my face into the neck it rested
against giving a brushing kiss. �Morning, Yama,� I murmured.

�� The
fingers froze and the voice spoke a little louder, �I�m not, Ishida, Tai�.
Yue�oh shit.

�� I
pulled myself up apologizing immediately. �I�m so sorry, Yue. I don�t�.
actually,� I said confusedly, �Can you tell me how I got here?�

�� You
don�t remember?� He asked sounding a little surprised. �But that should be
expected considering the condition you were in when I found you�.

�� What?�
I knew I was in Yue�s room because I had been in it before, but I don�t
remember coming here. All I remember is crying in that caf�.�

�� I
ran into you at the caf� last night,� he paused and eyed me warily before
continuing, �You told me about what happened with Ishida at the park,� I winced
and he stopped.

�� It�s
okay, I remember now�. Thank you for listening to me, Yue,� I whispered staring
at the blanket bunched in my lap. �I�m sorry I called you Yamato�.

�� Fingers
slid under my chin and I found myself looking at Yue. He gazed into my eyes for
a long time before smiling sadly, �That�s okay. It�s only natural to think
about the one you love firs thing in the morning, ne?�

�� I
blushed a deep shade of crimson as remembered telling Yue as much last night in
a fit of hysterics. �I�m so sorry, Yue,� I said on the verge of tears. I felt
so bad. Yue felt so much for me and all I could ever really give him is my
friendship. I was such a bad friend; I was flaunting my feelings for Yamato in
his face knowing how he felt about me. That had to be so painful. I was
inadvertently hurting Yue the way Yamato hurt me. As soon as I thought this, I
really started to cry.

�� You
have nothing to be sorry about, Taichi,� Yue said as he wrapped his arms around
me. �I knew I never really had a chance with you before we ever got involved.
You were always honest. You never misled me. I knew from the first day I kissed
you in that hallway that I could never compete with Ishida. The look on your
face after he kissed you�I would give anything to have you look that way at me.
But that is not meant to be and I�m okay with that. I just appreciate the time
you were able to give me. It was more than I could have ever hoped for. I have
no regrets, Taichi. Remember that. You will always be a honored friend of mine
and I hope that the same holds true for you�.

�� Do
you really mean that?�

�� Of
course I do,� he said giving me a lopsided smile. �I have always considered you
my friend, Taichi.�

�� Ditto,�
I said pecking him on the cheek before flashing him a smile. �So, you�re
supposed to be leaving today, right?� I asked looking around his room
skeptically.

�� Yup,�
he said surveying the mess.

�� And
just what were you planning on taking with you?�

�� Oh,
just that stuff over there,� he said gesturing vaguely at a huge pile of
clothing and furniture.

�� And
you didn�t pack any of it?� I gawked incredulously.

�� Well,
that�s where you come in good friend of mine,� he said beaming smile aimed
firmly in my direction. I helped Yue pack and saw him off before spending the
rest of the afternoon wandering around aimlessly thinking over my problems with
Yamato.

When I got home
later that night Hikari greeted me at the door. �Where have you been? I�ve been
worried sick�.

�Around,� I said
as I brushed passed her making my way toward my room.

�You were
supposed to be home this morning, Tai. I was worried when you didn�t show up so
I called around looking for you. No one knew where you were and I was very
worried. You could have called me,� she said following me into my room.

�Look, I�m sorry
Kar, but I have a lot on my mind. I wasn�t really thinking about it, I�ll be
sure to call you next time I change my plans. Now, I would like to be alone if
you don�t mind�.

�Okay,� she said
turning toward the door, �But if you want to talk about anything come find me�.
I closed and locked the door behind her before collapsing on my bed and falling
into a dreamless sleep.

I was jolted
awake a couple hours later by knocking on my bedroom door. I staggered toward
the door, a glare prepared for whomever dared to disturb my sleep, before
throwing it open. My mother smiled while shoving the phone into my face, �You
have a phone call, sweetheart,� she chirped.

�Thanks,� I
mumbled taking the phone from her. After closing the door and throwing myself
back into bed I finally spoke into the receiver. �Hello?� I mumbled not really
in the mood to talk to anyone.

�Hey, Taichi,� a
deep voice breathed into the line and my breath caught in my chest. Yamato.

�Yamato�.

�I know you
probably don�t want to talk to me right now, but I need to talk to you�.

�I don�t want to
hear anything you have to say unless you have some real answers for me�. There
was a long pause before Yamato spoke again and I worried that I had actually
lost my best friend.

�I can�t tell you
everything you want to hear right now, I�m still trying to figure that myself.
But I do know I was wrong for doing what I did to you yesterday, I�m sorry I
hurt you like that. It was very petty and not at all comparable to me walking
in on you and Daisuke. I just really needed to tell you that,� he said quickly,
his voice strained. �And I�m sorry for giving you shit about Daisuke and
Tsukishiro too. You had every right to be with them. Like you said, you�re not
attached to me,� he finished, his voice tinged with bitterness.

I was shocked. I
didn�t expect to get an apology out of Yamato, hell; I didn�t expect to get a
phone call�not this soon anyway. But here Yamato was, sincerely apologizing to
me even if he couldn�t offer me all the answers I needed. �Wow,� I said after a
while. �I really didn�t expect to get an apology out of you, Yamato�.

�Can you forgive
me, Tai?�

�I can forgive what
you�re asking, yes. As for everything else��

�I can�t answer
you right now, Tai,� he said cutting me off. �I need more time, but I promise
to tell you everything when I�m ready�.

�That�s good
enough for now� I guess�. There was another long pause before Yamato spoke
again.

�Can I see you?�
he asked hesitantly.

�I don�t know if
seeing you is such a good idea right now�.

�� There
was another long pause and then, �Is it okay if I call you?�

�� I
can�t see the harm in that,� I said and immediately began to regret the
decision. I know that I shouldn�t see Yamato right now but there�s nothing I
want more; even after what he did to me yesterday.

�� I
really am sorry, Tai,� he said breaking my thoughts and I knew I was lost. The
sound of his voice was making me feel better, which is ridiculous because he is
the one that has caused me to feel this way in the first place.

�� Can
we please talk about something else?� I whispered. There was another moment of
silence before Yamato spoke again.

�� You�ll
never guess whom I ran into today�� he began and we spent the rest of the night
talking to each other as we did before this whole thing began. Yamato was no
longer associated with the mass of confusing feelings I have been carrying
around for the past year and a half; he was simply�my best friend.

~.~.~.~.~.~.~�

�� I
didn�t allow Yamato to see me outside of school for a month after that day in
the park, instead he would call me at night and we would talk about everything.
I was sad that I couldn�t physically be in his presence but the mending of our
relationship more than satisfied me. We were getting close again but I did miss
him. If he weren�t out of town again I�d go and see him right now. In fact, I
plan on seeing him as soon as he gets back�only one more day to go. Damn, this
is the longest week ever.

�� Hey,
Tai,� I was jolted out of my thoughts by Takeru.

�� Hey,
Teeks,� I said looking up at him and I was struck�not for the first time�by his
strong resemblance to his brother.

�� Have
you been here long?� he asked taking a seat next to me.

�� No,
I just got here a little while ago�.

�� Good,�
he said after a moments pause. �I�ve been meaning to speak to you�.

�� Oh?�

�� I
know it�s none of my business,� he started hesitantly, �But I was wondering
what Yamato did to make you so angry�.

�� Excuse
me?� I asked more than a little surprised. This thing with Yamato had been
going on for more than a year now and none of our other friends had noticed. I
had gotten so good at hiding it; pretending that everything was fine.

�� Don�t
think I haven�t noticed, Tai. You guys go out with us when we plan group
events, but you never hang out, just the two of you, anymore. The others
haven�t noticed, but Kari and I have. It�s very obvious to the both of us�.

�� We�ve
both been busy, Keru,� I sighed not knowing what else to say.

�� Yeah�busy
avoiding each other. Why talk on the phone but not in person? What did he do
that was so bad?�

�� Why
do you even care?� I asked harshly, suddenly angry, my frustration with the
situation mounting.

�� You�re
both miserable, why wouldn�t I care? You usually make each other happy but all
either one of you have done lately is hurt the other. You are supposed to be
best friends, whatever happened, it can�t be that bad�.

�� You
don�t know everything that happened�.

�� So�tell
me�.

�� It�s
not that easy, Keru. The situation is a lot more complicated than you think.
This problem can�t be solved like all the other ones�.

�� Wow,
this sounds more serious that usual�if you tell me all that�s happened maybe I
can help you think of a solution.�

�� Yamato�s
the one that fucked up and he already knows what he needs to do to fix
everything�.

�� What
did he do, Taichi-onii-chan?� Takeru asked now intensely curious.

�� An
easier question to answer would be �what didn�t he do?�� Taichi said
chuckling bitterly.

�� Tai��
Takeru started only to be cut off.

�� Your
brother�s an asshole, Takeru. But you already knew that, didn�t you?�

�� He
hurt you very badly, didn�t he?� Takeru asked concern written all over his
features.

�� That
really doesn�t matter right now, Keru. Nothing does really.�

�Tai��

�I don�t know
about you, but I�m over this little chat,� I said rising from my seat on the
ground. �Catch you later,� I said as I began walking away.

�Wait,� Takeru
called scrambling after me. �Do you want me to walk you home?� he asked when he
caught up with me/

�Thanks for the
offer, Teeks, but I�d rather be alone right now,� Takeru looked a little
disappointed by my response, but let me go without too much of a fuss.

I realized
something very import after that chat with Takeru. I may miss Yamato, but I am
not ready to see him. Not with how I reacted when I was with Takeru. This
realization led me to set down more ground rules where Yamato is concerned, he
wasn�t too happy to learn that I wanted to further limit what little contact we
had but he agreed to my terms. Yamato has been very understanding and
cooperative lately, even when he is obviously displeased, he goes along with
what I want because it is strengthening our relationship. He is not as self-centered
as he�s been the past year; he�s almost his old self really.

�After talking to Takeru, I cut back on the
number of phone calls Yamato could make. Instead of calling me every night, he
now calls me once a week and instead of talking for hours we are limited to an
hour. Yamato always sounds really frustrated when I inform him that the call is
over and one night he nearly broke down confessing that he thought that things
were getting worse because I set more restrictions instead of allowing him to see
me again. After I assured him that I wasn�t changing my mind about him he
calmed and told me he was willing to do whatever was necessary to win my trust
back. I want to believe him, but there�s a part of me that just thinks he�s
biding his time. Then again, Yamato hasn�t dated anyone sense that day in the
park and I have had his undivided attention. I want to be positive, but it�s
hard.

Three months
passed since that day in the park, since I set further restrictions on Yamato,
when I got the phone call. It was Friday afternoon when Yamato called me. The
call in of itself was not strange, but the person that was calling; Yamato
usually called me Saturday night after band practice because he wanted to be
able to devote his full attention to me for the entire hour he was allowed. Did
he think he could just start breaking rules?

�� I picked up on the third ring, �Yamato,� I
started automatically angry.

�Wait, Tai,�
Yamato interrupted. �I know it�s not Saturday, but I was calling because I
promised I would.�

�What!�

�Shut up for two
seconds, all right?� he said voice laced with annoyance. �I promised that I�d
call you when I was ready to talk�. well,� he said releasing a huge sigh, �I�m
ready. Whenever you are.�

�You�re serious,�
I asked not quite believing I was hearing him correctly.

�Yes, I�m
serious. I�m free all day tomorrow if you want to talk then, if not, just let
me know when.�

�Tomorrow is
good,� I said after a moment.

�Tomorrow it is
then. I can�t say that I�m looking forward to this talk of ours, but I�m
excited to see you again�I miss you, Tai�. He said his voice a mixture of
melancholy and happiness.

�Yamato�� I
started as a warning.

�I know, Tai. I
know. See you tomorrow,� he said before he hung up.

I sat staring at
the phone for a while before everything finally sucked in. It was happening, it
was really happening. For better or worse, tomorrow I was going to get my
answers.
