your voice resonates
somehow I feel warmed by the tone
I want to hear you forever

will this unfold like the petals of the rose
protected by thorns and hidden by leaves
until revealed by that which it hides from

do I dare ask how we got this far?
how I feel lost without your touch?
how I long to feel you next to me?

the world slows and babies learn to dream
the heart of the world beats and resounds in my ears
while the warmth of your arms keeps me safe

I thought I'd never see an end to the misery
that all my life was worth nothing to no one
that all I was, all I felt, meant nothing

to feel a sweet embrace of emotions
that was the one thing I've wanted all along
and now I know, no embrace has been sweeter than yours

Je t'aime, mon chéri.

Your mouth opens but I
Already know what you'll say
I ask for truth but you lie anyway

Even when I'm smart I'm stupid for you

I'm dumb because I forgive you
I'm sad because I stay
I've become predictable—
  You already know what I won't do

Because even when I'm smart I'm stupid for you
And you get away with everything...

anime100 challenge for 08/26/04 to 09/02/04: Breaking Rules

The wall was cold against Taichi’s back but his best friend’s lips, pressed suddenly against his own, were burning hot. Taichi was drowning in feeling, burning with confused desire. He’d always wanted this to happen, but now that it had... Yamato’s unexpected kiss was blurring the lines between truth and lies, between fact and fiction, between love and hate, and he was lost. Yamato kissing another guy – not just anyone, but him, Yamato’s best friend – broke every rule that society had laid upon them, upon everyone, and Taichi was lost. "Fuck the rules," he thought defiantly, and kissed Yamato back.

The first thing Ken became aware of was the warmth, and he shifted into it automatically before realising that he wasn't alone. There was someone behind him, their arm tight across his waist under the blankets. Opening his eyes he lifted a corner and peered at it. He wasn't completely sure who it was exactly, but at least it looked familiar.

"Put that damn blanket back down; you're letting the heat out." Despite how sleepy he sounded, Daisuke also sounded slightly irritated, so Ken obediently lowered the corner.

Quoted from the script:

Yamato: Enough. Why don't you stop and think about other people's feelings for a change?
Tai: Huh? What are you talking about?
Yamato: We all know you're right, Tai, but just give us a little space.
Tai: Wha?
Yamato: We miss our friends who fought along side of us. Not everyone has ice running through their veins like you do.
Tai: Wha?
Yamato: You're so busy looking forward, that you never take time to look back. We've lost some good friends here, Tai, and it's nice to remember them once in awhile.
Tai: If we always stop to do that, we'll never have enough time to save the world.
Yamato: You still don't get it. I know you hear me, but you're not listening.

"You can't do this. You're just a kid like me!" I really hadn't expected that, but the edge of the cliff had been closer than I expected and the bastard had just walked up and pushed me...

"No, I'm not just like you. If I was, I would be the one hanging off the cliff." The Kaiser looked at me with such contempt in his eyes that I would have just run off to go hide under a rock somewhere if I hadn't been hanging on to my life with my fingertips.

He bent down and grabbed the front of my shirt to haul me up towards him; my grip on the edge of the cliff lost, I lifted my feet onto the edge and clutched his wrists. One eye narrowed at me as I touched him, but I didn't let go. "What you don't seem to understand, you and those other Chosen Children..." he spat out the words as if they were a bad taste in his mouth, "...is that I am unstoppable. I have everything ready and at my disposal; my army is complete and awaiting my command. What makes you think you can stop me?"

He'd voiced everything I worried about aloud with that contemptible look on his face, and something inside me balked at his tone. "We're fighting you because we have to! Because of you, digimon could die."

He smirked. "You misheard me, brat. Why are you fighting me?" His eyes flashed with something I couldn't exactly name, but really didn't like. "Why don't you just give in to me?" I didn't know what to say. What was wrong with this guy? Why wasn't he trying to kill me already?

"Where's that fire in your eyes gone?" he hissed at me, tightening his hands in my shirt. "You look so lost. But when you talk about saving the world, they burn..." He lifted me slightly off the ground and stared into my eyes as if looking for that 'fire' I supposedly had. He'd gotten so close that I could feel his breath on my face, but before I could raise a fist to punch him he'd lowered me again. "You interest me. I don't think I'll dispose of you, yet." He stepped backwards even as he threw me sideways to the ground, looking almost casual about it. Damn, this guy was stronger than he looked. I'd have to remember that. "Guards!"

The digimon looked mean and I backed away a bit, stopping before I could get too close to the edge of the cliff. I wasn't going near that again. "What do you mean, I 'interest' you?" I asked, confused.

He just smirked at me, and I didn't like the look in his eyes. "Oh, you shall find out." Two of the digimon picked me up, one arm each, and started carrying me away.

I couldn't resist yelling back to him, "Yeah, well... Your hairstyle sucks!" God, lame. I need to work on my comebacks.
