It's Not That Bad by Yaoi Girl

By the time Yamato had reached the bathroom, steam was lightly rolling beneath the small space between the wooden door and the hallway carpet, indicating that Taichi had already started to run water into the tub.

He opened the door and stepped in, shutting it behind him, looking around the room for the brunette, but only found the hair tie that the boy had wore earlier sitting innocently on the sink, along with a necklace that Yamato had given him last year for his birthday.

Taichi hated wearing the necklace in water, for fear that the precious gift would rust or fall apart and he'd loose it forever, so he always took it off before getting into water, be it shower or pool.

"Are you gonna get in here before I use all the hot water or what?"

At the sound of Taichi's voice, Yamato snapped out of his memories and glanced over towards the tub, the brunette poking his wet head out from behind the shower curtain.

"Well?"

Yamato laughed as Taichi quickly ducked back into the tub, as water had begun to fall from the boy's hair, hand, and elbow when he was holding the curtain back, and onto the floor, creating a small water hazard.

Slowly, still not totally sure about this, the blonde pulled his shirt over his head, his hair slightly musing as he did so, then he tossed the said clothing article onto the floor, along with the rest of Taichi's discarded clothes, his socks, pants, and boxers soon following.

Inhaling deeply and closing his eyes, he pulled back the shower curtain and stepped inside, instantly opening his eyes as he felt something smash into his face, the object then falling to the tub floor with a 'thud', Taichi laughing as the blonde realized what had hit him.

"I can't believe you threw a wash cloth full of soap at me!" Yamato said, sticking his tongue out and into the stream of deliciously warm water to get the taste out of his mouth.

The brunette only smiled as he stepped forward and pushed the blonde's incredibly long bangs from his cheeks and back against his semi-wet head. "Well, if you didn't always complain about things and open your mouth, you wouldn't have a mouth full of soap, now would you?"

"So, you're saying you'd rather me do this?" Yamato asked wickedly as he brushed Taichi's hair into his face and over his eyes, continuing to do it even when Taichi would push it back away or try to capture his hands.

"Okay, okay! You win…for now," Taichi said as he pushed Yamato gently. "Man…you're more built than I though you were."

"I do have a full time job keeping up with you, running after you before, after, and at school. Making sure you stay out of things your not supposed to be into…"

Taichi smiled sheepishly, and then said, "You want me to wash your hair?"

He paused to think before he answered. 'Should I let him? I mean, I don't really have a problem with that…it's just, Taichi…that close to me, too soon…'

"Yamato?"

The blonde blinked out of his daze, focusing on Taichi. "I guess," he said with a weak shrug. "Just…try not to get…"

Understanding what was bothering the other boy, the brunette smiled and nodded. "I'll try. Now step under the water already."

Yamato smiled, thankful that he didn't have to finish, as he didn't want to sound mean or anything. He stepped back into the stream of water, tilting his head back and letting Taichi make sure his hair was completely wet before he pulled the blonde out from under the shower head.

Pulling a bottle of shampoo off the shower's corner shelf, Taichi put a little less than a palm full of shampoo before beginning to lather the soft blonde hair before him.

"It feels nice to let someone else wash your hair, you know that?" Yamato somewhat moaned as Taichi worked the lather up.

"If you say so…"

"Let me wash your hair after you're done with mine and you'll see what I mean."

"Okay, just so long as you don't get shampoo in my eyes."

"Likewise."

After thoroughly washing Yamato's hair, he gently guided the close-eyed blonde back under the water, rinsing his hair, making sure all the soap was out before he pulled the boy back out.

Yamato opened his eyes a few moments later, confused as he seen soap sliding down his shoulders and chest. "Taichi, what are you doing?"

He heard the brunette laugh, causing him to become a little uneasy.

"Don't you ever read the bottle? It says 'later, rinse, repeat.'"

"You have entirely too much free time if you actually read a shampoo bottle," Yamato replied with a laugh, relaxing and closing his eyes again as Taichi once again lathered and washed his blonde locks, rinsed his hair, conditioned it, and rinsed one more time before shoving the bottle of strawberry scented shampoo into his hands, saying, "Your turn."

Sorry I haven't done anything with this story in a couple of days. I'm posed to be grounded cause of two of my grades…^_^; That and I couldn't really think of how to do part one of the shower scene. Next is Taichi's turn, with plenty more silliness in it!

BTW, my site's now here!
