Hi! This is my first entry to the whole Digimon thing, though I've wanted to write one for a while! This will be Tai/Matt Yaoi and no I don't own Digimon

Tai/mat 18 yrs old

Left apart Chapter 1 Flash backs

He's been gone for 4 years...

Four long years, each day he's gone it 's like a pain in my chest that won't go away, and each day the pain gets worse and worse, just to get over the fact he might never come back...

Uh...oh sorry I guess this is confusing to you, my name is Yamato Ishida but everyone calls me Matt, even my best friend before he left, he left to fulfil his dream, but I miss him so much, maybe its because I've been in love with him since I was 15 years old...

Let me explain, Tai was my best friend since we defeated the Dark masters years ago, after our adventure's were over and they were passed on to Davis and the others, Me, Tai and the others settled back into a relatively normal life. Tai had always wanted to be a professional soccer player, so he had signed up for as many sports collages as possible. Hell I even helped him, even though I wished and prayed every night for him to stay near.

Sound's really selfish doesn't it? I know, but losing Tai is my first fear, a close second to losing my brother T.K. But no matter how hard I tried he still left us, I don't know weather to be happy for him or to be sorry for myself. He got in to a great collage...in England, thousands of miles away. Tai had to go over there, work away from us until he graduated, or until he became a professional...

When Tai found out the news u could tell by the look in his eyes that he wasn't happy about leaving us, it was Tai's dream but no one not even me, no-one was going to ruin this one chance for him. I remember that night four years ago well...

~Flashback~

I looked at Tai, as he sat there in my living room on the sofa next to me an official looking letter in his hands, why he'd come to my place with the letter I don't know... "Tai just open it for god's sake!" I exclaimed after I couldn't take the silence in the room anymore, Tai just stared at the envelope again in his hands before locking eyes with me. "I...I don't know Matt, you open it for me!" I rolled my eyes in disbelief and shook my head Tai my have the crest of courage, but he can act like a stubborn little kid sometimes "Tai stop being a big baby and just open the damned thing!" Tai shook his head and shot me his most adorable pleading pouty look, which he KNOWS that I'll give in to, I sigh in defeat before grabbing the envelope from him.

"Fine, okay I'll do it, Jeez people would think you were 8 instead of 18" Tai just smiled nervously as I ripped open the envelope and pulled out the letter and read it. As soon as I did my heart sank, and Tai must have noticed the look on my face to because he sighed looking very crestfallen. "They rejected me again didn't they?"

I blinked and looked from the letter and back to Tai's face. "No you got in Tai!" Tai blinked then grinned before he pounced upon me and hugged me He placed his head against my chest and gave me a hug that I'll never forget. But then his face fell and I realized I still had a crestfallen look on my face. Yamato-san? What's wrong?"

I sighed and closed my eyes as I passed the letter on to him. "The college...its in England" Tai's eyes widened as he read then re-read the letter, then he put it down on the table and shook his head. "I'm not going," he whispered quietly. I snapped my head up in shock and looked at him, my eyes wide "I'm scared Matt... I...I don't want to go on my own..." I placed my hand on his shoulder, rubbing his back gently while all the while I looked in to his eyes. "Tai this is what you've always wanted to do since you were a kid, and now this is your chance to do so, and besides if I know your mom well enough, she'll be more than happy to push you out the door and onto that plane"

Tai laughed at that, knowing that it was true, his mom would be so proud of him, I was proud of him. Tai gave me another hug, weather it was to comfort me of himself I didn't know, but as he held himself to my chest I heard him whisper something I'll never forget to this day. "Matt, of all the people that I'll miss, I'll miss you the most of all" To say I was surprised by his words was an understatement I was shocked, he'd miss me most over his parents? His sister? I never expected him to say it...but he did.

"Tai..." I managed to choke out tears falling down my face; he hadn't even left the country and I was crying already, my shrit felt wet and I knew Tai was crying too. Quickly I wiped away my tears and lifted Tai's chin up. "Tai, don't cry okay? You'll make loads of new friends, I bet you'll love it there once you get used to being in a new country" Tai nodded wiping his tears away with the back of his shirt sleeve looking at my like a lost puppy "But...It just won't be the same without the old team..."

"I know, but I'll be glad when I see you on the TV going up to a goal keeper going past him, and then scoring a goal, or should I say, several goals?" Tai chuckled quietly looking me properly in the eyes. I gently brush his unshed tears away and smiled sadly though I swear I tried my hardest to look happy. "You'd better tell you mom, they'll want to know too you know, so they can prepare for everything..." Tai nodded still blinking back tears.

"Right, Thanks Matt..." Tai stood the letter clenched in his fist, I followed suit, and watched as he left without another word or a backward glance. As soon as the door shout I let all of my emotions go and burst into tears. It takes me a lot to get me to cry, and this was just too much, the person I was in love with was leaving me, not just me all of us, without Tai I don't think any of our lives would ever be the same.

I tried to stop crying but I couldn't, my heart was breaking, I could feel it. 'Oh sure it's only 4 years' I thought bitterly 'But Tai is a good player, he'll probably be picked out for a good team in no time, then the only time I'd see him if he was playing on TV miles away...

I cried myself to sleep that night, and all I could think about, was Tai...

~End Flashback~

It's ironic, the only way Tai could ever achieve his dream was to be away from us, I get the odd ten page letter from him 2 or 3 times a year, he tell me about how he likes it, about his new friends etc but one thing that always stays the same, the last note he leaves on the bottom of all my letters.

'Of all the people that I miss, I miss you most of all'
