part 1 Coming of Christmas
chapter 3
Yamato walked home past Taichi's place. A bright idea to talk to Hikari about Ken occured to him. Hikari was a damn good judge of characters.
This Ken was... strange. Blushing like a cute girl. *Wonder, if Daisuke finds him cute?*
What if...? No, Daisuke is certainly not gay. After all, he is in love with Hikari. And he idolizes Taichi. Hmm.
Yamato shook his head. If so, why should he bother? Taichi is the kind of cool guy to be loved, adored and look up to, and idolizing him doesn't seem like worst thing a boy like Daisuke can do. Taichi is clever enough to keep things under control if hormones would choose to kick in.
With this naive thought Yamato knocked at Yagami's door.
"Hi, Yamato-san!"
It was Daisuke. Yamato remained cool, despite the screaming in his head, "Where's Taichi?"
"He's fine. You can go inside, don't worry."
"Yeah, why should I."
Yamato found Taichi sprawled on the floor of the sitting room.
"Hi Yamato! Look here, me and Daisuke decided to give Hikari this for Christmas. She's my lil sis, after all."
Taichi demonstrated a huge box wrapped in pink paper.
"What's there?"
"A photo album."
"She'll like that. Gees, I have to buy something for Takeru and Sora too."
Yamato sat down next to Taichi. Daisuke placed himself opposite of them and stared.
"Hey, Daisuke, since you're here, maybe you know what Ken wants for Christmas?" asked Yamato.
"Lemme see... A book?"
"Why don't you write him a song, Yamato? If you're so concerned about his presents," Taichi chuckled, inching closer to him. "What?! Taichi, I forgot how stupid you are."
Taichi grinned and gently poked Yamato in the ribs with his elbow. Daisuke watched the two with a sudden interest. Yamato looked sidelong at him and thought that Daisuke was certainly queer.
*Maybe, he's jealous?*
"I expected you to punch my face," joked Taichi. "And then I would knock you over and squash you into the floor."
"You're hallucinating. I'M knocking you over. Always."
Yamato carefully noted how excited Daisuke became.
Taichi's eyes were glued to Yamato's face. The blonde was unbearably close to him, his head reeled and Taichi was afraid lest he should fall over. He could stretch his hand and cup those pointed delicate chin and bring him down for a kiss.. But for stupid Daisuke who was still in the room...
Daisuke fidgeted nervously, seeing the two of his friends getting more and more intimate in front of him. He wished to get out of their way and turn up in another place entirely. Rarely a moment presented itself when Daisuke felt like the fifth wheel; Daisuke gulped and looked for exit.
Yamato noticed Daisuke's growing uneasiness. Was it simply that Yamato visited Taichi storming on them in the middle of something? Yamato resolved to leave the two alone.
*Get out, you little idiot,* Taichi thought. *And lemme have a few quiet moments with MY Yamato.*
Yamato stood up and broke the sparking tension.
"I have to go. See you, Taichi."
"Sure." Taichi clenched his fists in disappointment.
He saw Yamato to the door and upon returning found Daisuke preparing to leave.
"It's me who should've left," apologised the younger boy.
"Never mind."
"I think he likes you," Daisuke said cheerfully, crossing his fingers in a hope that he was right in reading Taichi's interest.
"What? You can't be serious," Taichi grew excited.
"Yeah," Daisuke backed off to the door, "Anyways, I'm off. Got to call on Ken," he said the first on his mind. Before running away, he gave a sly wink to Taichi.
*I love to play matchmaker* Daisuke squealed to himself.
Taichi stared after the fleeting boy, biting his lips. What was up with that wink? Daisuke is gone to Ken... He is always around Ken. Interesting.
Ken and Daisuke were obviously very close. Daisuke MIGHT be slightly enamoured of his friend. What if he was full blown in love with him? After all, it was puberty, libido and confusion with orientation.
Ken? He is so shy and reserved. He probably has no idea what hormonal surge is. Maybe, he's a eunuch. Right. Gotta help Daisuke with it.
*Wait!* Taichi stopped himself. *Why am I thinking like a gay? Nearly kissing my best friend doesn't make me a homosexual. Daisuke and Ken are capable of working it out by themselves.*
"Yamato likes me?" Taichi murmured with a silly grin spreading on his face. "Yamato likes me... This is good news."
