Mother calls

"Matt you're okay!!" He leapt on to the bed without thought,giving his big brother a bear hug. He didn't know any better.

"T.k!" His mother said sternly as if to stop him.

Matt bit his lip and held his eyes shut tight.

He thought about dodging the attack but moving wasn't exactly the best option in his state.

"Hey take it easy!" Matt weased with his last breath as the air escaped his lungs.

He quickly climbed off the bed and stood frozen at the thought that he might be hurting his brother.

"I-I'm sorry Matt." He sniffed. "I was just glad to see you're okay." Tears began to show themselves welling up in his eyes while he carried looking on towards Matt who was beginning to gather up enough air to reply.

He willed away the pain in his torso for a chance to stop T.k from bursting into an irreversable sob.

"It's allright, I'm still a little sore right now okay?" He smiled trying his hardest to assure T.k that he was allright.

He nodded and smiled back then began to rub the tears away with the back of his fists.

"Tai would you mind...?" Matt's mother smiled and put a hand on her youngest son's shoulder.

Tai understood her gesture. "Sure thing Mrs Ishida, C'mon T.k let's go get a soda, I wanna hear all about how the digimon are doing."

"Okay" He said while they walked through the doorway "Mom doesn't like it if I don't tell her when I go."

"I spoke to the docter before I came in and he says it's okay for you to go home.But you're not to do too many physical activities."

Matt sighed deeply then slumped back into the bed.

"What's wrong? You don't seem to be too excited to get out of here."

"It's just that it's Tuesday and Dads not home till tomorrow night. I still want to stay over at Tai's but you're not gonna let me are you?"

"Well....I don't know....." She turned her head slightly not agreeing with Matt's idea.

"Please mom?" He pleaded.

"I don't like it but I suppose I could talk to Tai's mom."

Matt almost leapt for joy but he contained himself knowing there would be strings attached.

"Thank you mom!"

"But I don't want the two of you rough-housing or anything like that allright?"

She knew the relationship between the boys could get physical when they argued or teased each other jokingly.

"Don't stress, Tai wouldn't do anything to hurt me."

She raised an eyebrow as if too say ' you're kidding right? '

"Ugh, Mom whenever we fight it's usually my fault okay? Besides he's not a hardend criminal."

"I never said he was."

"You didn't have to, the look on your face said it."

"Well sorry, I'm just feeling a little over protective after what happened to you. What mother wouldn't?"

"Thanks, but he's a good kid mom."

"Yeah I know, You've been best friends for four years, you'd think I'd know a little about him." She said smiling.

Matt got where she was coming from. "So when can I get out of here? I don't want to find out what the food is like here."

"Let me just call Mrs yagami and I'll sort out the discharge papers."

"Mom? Can you just send Tai in if you see him in the hallway?"

"Sure, T.k is probably talking his ear off anyway."

She got up out of the chair she was sitting in and kissed Matt on his cheek.

Then walking away she pulled out her cell phone and dialed the yagami residence.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tai leaned against the inside of the door frame and tilted his head as he folded his arms. "Missing me already?" He asked teasingly almost flirting at same time.

"C'mere so I can smack that smile off of your face."

"Ooh sounds like a challenge!" he remarked while making his way to the bedside.

Matt couldn't hide the smile any longer. "You've got guts yagami." He laughed.

He was glad that it was out between them, now they could laugh like they used to without anything being awkward.

"So why'd you call for me?" It felt good to have Matt need him again like he did in the digitalworld. Before that weekend Matt would have just kept to himself not letting anyone in on his secretive life. But it was both their lives now and no matter what, they could always share the things they were going through even more so than before.

"Well you know my dads not home till tomorrow night?" Matt let off an energetic vibe as he spoke.

"Yeah?" He had that 'what are you getting at? ' expression on his face.

"My mom is talking to your mom and it looks like I'll be able to stay at your house tonight." He paused to see Tai's reaction. "Well?"

His eye's lit up like two glowing orbs. "Are you serious?!?!" He asked loudly in a shrill tone of voice.

"Uh-huh." He replyed as he watched his better half jumping up and down with glee.

Tai stopped jumping and stood staring into space looking very distraught.

"Oh-No!" He fell to his knees.

Matt started to worry himself. "Tai what is it? If there's something you're not telling me , I want to know." He managed to swing his legs over to sit  on the edge of the bed. He didn't have the slightest idea of Tai's cause for distress.

Tai's face looked flushed. He was almost white.

"Tai?" He raised his voice. "What's going on......? Tell me."

He lifted his gaze an inch and looked blankly at the worried blonde.

"The letter...."

"Tai what about the letter?" It didn't sound good at all.

" I-I....dropped it by the front door......when I came running after you."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

I wander what Tai's parent's thought when they found the letter.

Sorry if my chapters are short, I do try.
