Growing Together

Summary: A tasty treat for TaiYama Week 2018. The blossoming of a new relationship; the development from friends to lovers. Blissful moments and the hardships faced.

D-Angel: I'm going to give this whole TaiYama week a crack this year. Shout out to Angelfish369 for making me aware of this awesome phenomenon! Lol.

After some musing, I've decided to use the prompts to form a multi-chapter story, which will essentially show the blossoming of Taichi and Yamato's friendship and relationship :)

This definitely won't be as heavy or angst-riddled like my other multi-chapter stories, and I will try and keep it fluffy and sweet throughout, but may throw a bit of my usual spiciness in eventually.

May change the title if I can think of something better, haha.

Please do enjoy ;)

Chapter 1 - Invitation

"He's still asleep, but you're welcome to try and wake him up."

Hiroaki trudged back into the kitchen to resume making his coffee. Taichi frowned as he removed his trainers; he had always known Yamato to be a morning person. It was unusual for him to sleep in beyond 9am. He had assumed that as it was nearing on 11am, Yamato would be up and about, and willing to head into Shibuya with him, but apparently that was not the case.

Heading over to Yamato's bedroom door, he rapped his knuckles against the wood, waited for several seconds. No response. Shrugging his shoulders, he lightly twisted the doorknob then stepped inside, before silently shutting the door shut behind him.

Yamato's bedroom was always super tidy. The blond often scolded Taichi for moving things slightly out of place. The morning sunshine had already leaked through the pale white curtains but, despite this, Yamato, who was dressed in a white t-shirt and a pair of black underwear, appeared to be out like a light, curled up on his bed with the covers tucked between his legs and his head sunk firmly into the pillow. His chest rising and falling in a rhythmic pattern.

As he approached the bed, Taichi stopped suddenly when his toes nudged against an object resting on the floor by the foot of the bed. His eyes drifted down to the object, an open notepad- the sort that Yamato often used to scribble down song lyrics and musical rifts. He figured that this was probably the reason why the blond was still fast asleep.

No harm in having a peep, Taichi decided. He crouched down and picked the notepad up, brow furrowing as he stood back up and started to read the writing neatly scribbled across the exposed page.

Operation "Grow Some Balls":
Invite Taichi out to Joypolis

Joypolis was one of Taichi's favourite places in Odaiba. Who could resist an indoor amusement park?

A smile stretched across Taichi's face as he glanced back over at Yamato's sleeping form. The blond looked awfully blissful in his state of slumber. Taichi dropped the notebook back onto the floor. This invitation could not be passed up; Joypolis could wait.

Carefully, he climbed onto the bed and crawled over Yamato's body, then slipped underneath the warmth of the covers, pulling the blond up against him. Yamato barely stirred from his slumber and seemed to happily melt against Taichi's athletic frame. It was comfortable, and Yamato smelt sweet and homely, like a freshly baked cake. Taichi felt his eyelids start to droop.

The next thing; a panicked squeak, followed by a heavy thud.

Taichi groggily shifted across the mattress and peered over the edge of the bed. Yamato was an ungraceful mass on the floor; he slowly gazed up at Taichi through his long eyelashes, blue eyes unblinking. The brunet stared back at him, the corner of his lip forming into a small smirk as he soaked in the pink tint streaked across Yamato's cheeks.

"So, Yama, when are you taking me to Joypolis?"

D-Angel: And thus, the prompt seed for the next chapter has been planted xD Stay tuned for more fluffiness my lovelys.
