This is my favorite story I ever wrote. Besides being a good story, I met my boyfriend because of this story, and we've been together for almost 5 years now. So it really was a hard decision to take it down, but I just decided there were certain parts I didn't want to be on here anymore. If anyone knows the site Y! Gallery, the full unedited fic is there, but they are good about not letting minors in.

I have kept the M rating though, to be safe. Although the actual scenes are gone, there are references to them.

Tai was looking down, trying not to cry. He always thought that he and Matt would last forever. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. Why did he want to destroy what they had?

"Yama..." Tai said trying not to cry. "Why? Why do you want to throw this away?"

Matt was also trying not to cry. "It's for the best Tai, it really is. I've been so busy with my band, and you deserve better than that. You deserve someone who can be there for you."

"Shouldn't that be up to me? Shouldn't I be able to decide for myself what I want? I am happy for the times we do get to spend together! Yeah I miss you when I don't get to see you, but I'll survive, knowing your there for me!"

"And when was the last time we had a chance to do anything together?"

Tai started to speak, but then he realized that it had been at least a month.

"Thats not the point!" Tai finally managed to say. "The point is I love you damn it and I want to live my life with you? So what if I don't see you everyday other than in the halls at school? It doesn't change how I feel!"

"Tai... I know that your going to be hurting because of me, and I hate that but... I think in the long run its better, than the pain of you waiting for me everyday."

"But Matt, I can live with that!"

Matt shook his head. "I have made up my mind. It's over. I'm sorry."

With that Matt turned and left Tai's bedroom, and quietly exited his apartment. He wasn't a crier generally, but he couldn't help it. And neither could Tai. But Matt believed it was for the best.

Izzy as usual sat on his computer, playing a game. It was a simple looking game, yet he somehow became addicted to it. It was something to do, to keep his mind away from where it always wanted to be. Tai. He had feelings for Tai, had since he first met him. But he knew that what he and Matt had was special, and Izzy really was happy that Tai was happy, but still... he couldn't help but be a little jealous every now and then.

He and Tai were best friends. When Tai wasn't with Matt, he was with him. They hung out a lot together. That meant a lot to Izzy. It meant he was important to Tai, even if not in that way. Izzy made sure he would never let it slip how he felt. Izzy never even told Tai he was gay.

As he finally won the game he had been playing for so long, His cell phone rang. He picked it up and looked at the ID to see it was Tai.

"Hey Tai! What's going on? I thought you and Matt were-" He stopped, as he heard crying over the phone.

"Izzy... Can you come over?"

"Of course I can Tai, but are you okay?"

"Not really." Tai said sadly. "Please come."

"I'll be there in a nanosecond. Hang in there Tai."

"Thanks Izzy."

Izzy hated it when Tai was down. When he was down, so was he. He made his way to his apartment, on his way he picked up a snack he knew Tai would enjoy. When he got there he knocked on the door. When Tai opened the door, he threw his arms around Izzy.

"Thanks for coming." He said between sobs.

Izzy held Tai tightly, comforting him.

"Anything for you."

x

Tai told Izzy the whole story, everything that had happened. Izzy couldn't believe his ears.

"But you said you would wait for him! Why would he pass that up?"

"I don't know. Thanks for coming over. Since my parents are out of town, I just didn't want to be alone."

Izzy nodded. "I'm very glad I could help you Tai."

Tai smiled a little bit. Having Izzy around always helped him.

"Hey Tai, want me to order a Pizza or something?"

"Nah, I dont think I could eat. Lets just sit on the couch and watch TV."

"Okay."

x

Tai never really was looking at the screen, he was just thinking about Matt, how he lost him.

"I have to get him back, Izzy."

"Yeah, but how?"

"I... Don't know yet. But for now, thanks for always being here for me."

Izzy hugged him, and in that moment, Tai fell asleep. Izzy leaned back, but Tai ended up laying on him. Even though he was a little crushed, he was happy to be in the situation. He was pretty close to Tai.

After Tai fell asleep, Izzy stayed there watching him for a while, just staring at the beauty that was Tai. Izzy smiled to himself, really enjoying the moment, but it was interrupted when he heard the door open, and he knew Tai's parents were home. His parents knew Tai was gay, and knew all about Matt, but Izzy did not want to be found in this position, so he pushed Tai up, hoping he would wake up. Instead, Tai fell on the floor. It wasn't a bad fall, he didn't hurt himself, but with the impact Tai jumped up and was startled, tripped, and fell over on Izzy, their lips locking. Izzy enjoyed it for a moment, but then Tai jumped off him.

"I'm so sorry Izzy! I didn't mean for that to happen!"

Izzy was still a little stunned. "It's okay, really."

"No, I'm sorry, you don't even like guys, that could not have been fun for you."

Izzy scrambled to think of what to say, but he knew this wasn't the time to out himself.

"Well, It's not like it was on purpose. It's fine really."

Tai smiled a little. "Thanks for understanding."

Tai told his parent's what had happened. They were not very happy with Matt, to say the least.

"Why did he leave you when you obviously would wait for you?" Mrs. Kamiya asked.

Tai shook his head. "I have no idea."

"Me neither." Izzy said. He had his arm around him comforting him.

Mrs. Kamiya switched from an angry expression to a small smile.

"I bet there is someone better out there for you."

Tai was staring at the carpet, so he didn't see her wink at Izzy. She had been seeing the way Izzy had been comforting her son, and couldn't help but think there was something there. Izzy blushed at the wink, and removed his arm.

"Uh..." Izzy started. "It's getting late, I should probably get going."

Tai looked up sad. "Your leaving?"

"Well I would stay but I don't have my uniform with me for school tomorrow."

"Oh... School... Right..."

"I'll see you tomorrow morning okay? I'll walk with you to school, and we can talk."

Tai smiled. "Thanks Izzy." And after that, Izzy left.

After leaving, Mrs. Kamiya sat beside Tai and hugged him.

"I'm so sorry that he did this to you Tai."

"Me too." Was all he could say.

"Maybe you will find a better love soon though..."

Tai looked questioning at his mother. "What are you talking about?"

"Izzy seemed to be doing everything he could to comfort you. I think he likes you. And you would make a cuite couple..."

Tai shook his head. "Izzy is my best friend, besides that he's straight. He was just being a good friend, comforting me like that."

Then an idea struck Tai.

"But... you think we really look cute together?"

"Yes! Very cute!"

The next morning, Izzy got up and ready for school. As he was, he couldn't help think about that kiss.

"Even though it wasn't a kiss-kiss..." Izzy said to himself. "Just the touching of his lips... it was amazing."

He left the house heading toward Tai's building. He managed to wipe the smile off his face from the kiss, as he got closer, expecting to see Tai looking very down. What he saw was very surprising.

"Hey Izzy!" Tai yelled, he was waving and smiling like they were on their way to a party. Izzy blinked.

"Hey Tai. Wasn't expecting you to be so happy this morning."

"Well, I kind of need a favor, Izzy."

"Oh?" Izzy raised his eyebrows.

"Izzy, will you go out with me?"

Izzy had no idea what to say. He was sure that he wasn't outright asking him out, he wasn't that lucky. Though he did have a tad bit of hope.

"W-what are you talking about?"

"Listen Izzy, I know your straight, but I have an idea to get Matt back."

And there goes that little bit of hope he had. It still was about Matt.

"I don't get it."

Tai reached in his pocket and pulled out two concert tickets.

"The blue wolves are having their first concert in a month, and before that month, I would like to act like we are in love, act like I was never sad at all over him, and on the night of the concert, we sit in the front row, where he will have to look at us all night, and then, he will want me back, because he will see how great we are together! I think this could really work. Are you in?"

Izzy thought about it. He did want Tai to be happy more than anything, and he could help him get his man back. On the other hand, It would be a month getting very close to Tai. Maybe somewhere along the line Izzy could tell him how he felt. Maybe this could be the chance Izzy had been waiting for. But for the moment, he didn't want to seem too eager.

"I don't know Tai, your asking me for a lot."

"I know Izzy, but I'd do anything to return the favor. Your my only chance. PLEASE?"

Izzy smiled, and mentally thanked Tai for saying it that desperately.

"Okay Tai, you win. I will go out with you."

Tai hugged him.

"Thank you Izzy, and don't worry, I won't ask you to kiss me or anything."

Izzy's eyes went wide. He wanted that.

"But! Were supposed to be going out! It would be suspicious if we never kissed!"

Tai looked puzzled. "I thought you would be disgusted by that."

"It will be okay Tai, we have to make it believable. We will have to kiss, go on dates, be seen in public..."

"Wow, your sure on board with this, Izzy."

"Well we have to make sure we sell this well!"

Tai nodded. "Lets get to school, boyfriend."

Izzy smiled, and they were off.

Tai though about the plan that he had, and thought it was foolproof, that Matt would be his again. Meanwhile, Izzy had plans of his own, to make Tai his.
