Dancing around

Kuragari: ok, so I like this idea and I LOVE this pairing! Squeal! Anyway, brief warning… this story changes POV… hope you don’t mind. Anyway, let me know what you think! Enjoy!



I’m not exactly sure when it happened… ok, that’s a load of shit… I know EXACTLY when it happened… how could I ever forget?

Oh, wait, sorry, I’m getting ahead of myself. My name’s Yamato, or Matt to most of my friends. I’m blonde, relatively attractive (I’m told I’m a knock-out) and I’m the lead singer of an awesome rock band. I just graduated high school and I’m starting college in a few months along with six of the other original digi-destined. My little brother Takeru and his girlfriend Hikari are still in high school along with a few rookie digi-destined. Sucks to be them.

Ok, now that you actually know who I am, or at least got the brief overview, perhaps you’d like to know what the hell I’m talking about, huh? Well, I’m talking about the fact that I am completely and hopelessly in love with my best friend.

That’s right. To make it even better, my best friend also happens to be my new roommate in the small apartment we now share. Even better than that? My roommate is none other than Taichi Yagami… aspiring soccer star, older brother to Hikari, child of courage, goggle-headed leader, and the current focal point of much annoyance and sexual frustration for me.

I know now that I always had a bit of a crush on him. Though, I thought it was just a phase and that I’d grow out of it. Well, I didn’t, in fact I only seemed to be growing more… into it.

The moment I realized I loved him, was the exact moment I thought I had lost him. Back during our wild days of youth in the digital world, he almost left me. During the last battle with Mr. ‘I’m-going-to-start-every-sentence-with-once-upon-a-time-‘cause-I-actually-think-it’s-threatening’, aka. Piedmon, Tai had been hurt pretty badly.

Shit, I had never been so scared in my life as he lay on the ground, barely moving. It was at that moment, while I swore nothing would ever come between us again, that I finally realized how much Tai meant to me… how much I loved him. And I’ve been hiding it ever since.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve wanted to tell him. Somehow, I think I was still clinging to the vague hope that I was imagining these catastrophic feelings and that I seriously wasn’t considering throwing away the best friendship I’ve ever had over a ‘passing crush.’ Not that I think Tai would mind the fact that I’m gay, he’s a very accepting person actually. It’s just… I don’t think he’d like finding out that I wanted to be gay with him.

I even went so far into denial that I asked Sora out a few times. She’s a wonderful girl, and a great friend, and I thought that would get me off of my obsession with Tai. Well, that didn’t work either. Sora knew something was up and called me on it. So, after explaining everything to her, we had a mutual break up and remained great friends. I’m just glad she hasn’t told anyone else about my issue.

It hasn’t been so bad; really, I’ve been managing to keep my feelings hidden from the ‘fearless leader’ for all of high school and the only people who know are Sora, my surprisingly supportive band, and of course my baby brother, T.K. . Unfortunately, the sexual frustration has become a daily thing to contend with, but I’m managing.

Recently I’ve had to resort to… ‘Relieving my frustration’ practically every night while some random guys go at it on my computer screen, but it’s been working for me.

And it still would have been working for me had Tai not somehow pulled some strings (otherwise known as coercing me into moving in with him) and got us pegged as roommates. Now, not only will I be seeing him every day, but every damn night too! That’s just what I need. Thank god my door locks and Tai’s started a new night job.

I’ve needed my ‘alone time’ more than ever lately. Every little thing seems to shoot through me from a light touch to a simple look. It all leaves me red-faced, barely breathing, and rather uncomfortable in my designer jeans.

Thankfully, it seems that Tai hasn’t noticed any changes in my behavior… and I’m hoping it stays that way.
