Day 2: Cuddling somewhere
-o-o-o-
The two made their way to Matt's apartment. They held hands the entire way there, until Matt had to open the door for them.
They grabbed drinks from the kitchen and proceeded to sit on the couch. Tai took a huge gulp of his drink, whilst Matt just fiddled with his can.
"Matt?" Blue met brown and Tai swallowed nervously, averting his gaze. "I, uh..."
The two friends lapsed into silence once again and the brunet took another swig of his drink.
"This is stupid, isn't it?" Tai's eyes widened at the comment and he looked to Matt in slight panic. "I mean," Matt ran those slender fingers through his hair and continued, "we're best friends. We can talk to each other about anything, yet we're having so much trouble talking now. We've been through so much together and all of those things have only strengthened our bond."
Tai grinned. "You're right. As usual." Matt shot him a mischievous look. "What are we so afraid of? I have the crest of courage, so why can't I bring myself to admit that I like you?"
Matt gave a small start at that comment and Tai's heart plummeted. Had he misinterpreted Matt's actions? Had he been too hopeful in thinking that Matt liked him back? Had he imagined Matt's obvious flirting? Was it, in fact, nothing more than friendly joking?
Something in Tai's eyes must have given away his thoughts because Matt laughed under his breath and shook his head. Matt's oceanic eyes were trained on his knees and a tinge of rose dusted his cheeks. "Sorry. It's just that I didn't expect – no – that's not right. What I mean is that I have been expecting it, but just hearing you actually say it is..." He trailed off, blush deepening in colour.
The brunet gave a sigh of relief. He hadn't just been rejected. In fact... His eyes adopted a predatory look, "Does this mean that we're officially together now?"
Matt shifted his gaze up, his blush dying down slightly. "I don't think anything's official yet. We're still kind of dancing around the issue."
"Well in that case." With practiced speed and agility, Tai dropped off the couch and onto the floor on one knee. He extended his hand to Matt, "Yamato, will you go out with me?"
The blush was back full-force and Matt stuttered for a good minute before turning his head away abashedly and muttering, "You don't need to get down on one knee, you know. That's for proposals." He then blushed harder at the implications of Tai's actions.
The other teen just laughed, but refused to move from his spot on the floor before he had an answer. "So? Will you?"
Matt bit his lip to try and contain his smile, but it seemed futile. He then looked Tai square in the eyes and nodded.
Both teen's faces broke into matching grins and the brunet jumped onto the couch. He then proceeded to wrap his arms around the thinner male and pulled him back against his chest, between his legs, whilst his back was against the armrest.
Matt continued to fiddle with his still unopened drink, whilst Tai's had been placed gently on the floor when he had asked the ultimate question. Tai breathed in the smell of Matt's shampoo and Matt placed his drink next to Tai's on the floor in favour of fiddling with Tai's fingers. The latter hummed his approval at the ministrations and thought that he could really get used to this. Unbeknownst to him, similar thoughts were making their leisurely way across the blond boy's mind.
