Chapter 7.

Matt's POV

'Ok…ok…I can do this…I can do this…' I repeated in my mind as I rang the doorbell to the Kamiya apartment. I looked down at the outfit I had picked out for the…special occasion. I decided to wear some comfortable jeans and my button up black shirt. I let out a soft sigh and smoothed down my hair. Even though it most likely would have gotten messed up a few seconds later, I styled my hair to perfection before I called it good. Finally the front door opened.

"Hi Matt!" Mrs. Kamiya greeted.

"Oh…hi Mrs. Kamiya," I greeted back, slightly confused. "Is Tai here?"

"Yes he's in his room," she said and then let me in. I took notice of Mr. Kamiya and Kari sitting in the living room watching what appeared to be "World's Dumbest." …I didn't know Kari was into that sort of thing… "Will you be staying for dinner Matt?"

"Oh, no, I don't think so," I shook my head and went to Tai's room. "Thank you for the offer though." I opened the door to Tai's room.

Tai and Kari no longer slept together in the same room, but the bunk bed from when they were younger still stayed in his room. Clothes were piled up into neat little piles throughout the wood floored room and his soccer gear was tossed next to his dresser. Tai sat at his desk with his headphones plugged in and surfing the internet. I grinned and took the opportunity to go and surprise him. I walked up behind him, wrapped my arms around his shoulders and gently bit down on his neck. Tai let out a sharp gasp and jumped.

"Matt!" he slightly glared at me. "You scared me!"

"Good," I grinned at him. "That's what I was going for." I kissed him on the lips and hugged him.

"So are you ready to get your present?" he asked eagerly. I stared at him for a moment and then looked at his door. Was he really going to do this while his family was around?

"What about your family?" I asked.

"What about them?" he tilted his head slightly.

"Well…I just thought that during the time it took you to shower, you would have tried to get your family out of the house in case of…um…you know…" In case things get a little crazy in your room. He gave me a curious look and then seemed to understand what I meant.

"Oh!" he grinned and then closed his laptop. "Don't worry, I already told them."

"You what?" my jaw dropped to the ground.

"Yeah," Tai nodded as he stood up and stretched. "I told them about it and said it probably would be ok if you came over here instead of me going over to your house." I swear I was about to die right then and there. Not only was I going to see Tai naked…but if things escalated and got intense, his whole family would just be in the next room…hearing every little thing. Tai took my hand and sat me on the bottom bunk of the bed. "You ready Matt?"

"…yeah…" I lied. The brunette smiled and kissed my forehead. Then, he walked back to his desk, digging through who knows what with his back turned to me. Finally, I heard a small zip. Just as he was about to turn around to face me, I covered my eyes and flopped down on his bed. "WAIT! I changed my mind!"

"What's wrong?" Tai asked.

"I'm not ready!" I whimpered.

"…Wow. I told you to be excited about this Matt, but I didn't think you'd get this excited." I heard him walk over and then he sat next to me on the bed. Oh gosh…his nakedness was only a few inches away from me!

'Come on Matt,' I thought to myself. 'You gotta pull yourself together…Tai worked hard to make this present special. I can't chicken out now and disappoint him. It'll be ok…you'll be with Tai. You love Tai, remember? He wouldn't do anything to hurt you. You're ready for this.' I slowly sat up.

"Ok…" I muttered. "I'm ready now."

"Great!" I heard the smile in Tai's voice. "Ok, keep your eyes closed and put out your hands." I bit my bottom lip nervously, but did what he asked me to do. Suddenly, I felt something hard and…square…and with plastic? "You can open your eyes now!"

I opened my eyes and looked down at my hands. I was holding a small CD case in my hands. On the cover was the head of a snarling black wolf. In its powerful jaws, it was biting down on an electric guitar and breaking it in half. In large white letters was the title of the CD: "The Teenage Wolves." I turned the CD cover over and looked at the back. There was a list of the songs we had written together as a group and underneath that were five wolves, probably signifying the five of us in the band.

"I made your band a CD cover!" he stated proudly. "You know so when you guys make your first CD? I spent a lot of time working on it during my commercial art class." I smiled at the cover and then it slightly fell.

…this was the present I was freaking out over?

"…You don't like it." I looked up to see a very discouraged Tai.

"Oh no," I placed a hand over his own. "I do like it, I really do." I continued to stare at the present.

"But?" Tai pressed on.

"…I just don't get it," I finally said. "You said…people would be jealous about this."

"Well yeah," he shrugged. "Don't you think other bands starting off would love to have a CD cover as awesome as this?"

"I guess you're right," I smiled at my boyfriend's prideful comment. I admit that it was very nicely done. The text matched well with the picture and the design was very original. I didn't know Tai was capable of being so artistic… "But…what about the peacock hint you gave me? There is no trace of a peacock on this."

"Yes there is, look." He pointed to the corner of the case. There was a little logo labeled: "Peacock Records." "That's the name of the recording label…I mean…there is a recording label named 'Peacock' right?"

"…Yeah I think so," I muttered. I stared at the little peacock and thought about the song. "Tai? Did you even listen to the whole song through?"

"No, I honestly didn't," he grinned sheepishly. "I just saw that Katy Perry sang a song about a peacock and I thought it was the perfect hint." I stared at him for a moment, then placed a hand to my forehead.

"Of course," I mumbled.

"I thought it was pretty clever," Tai smiled happily. I looked at my boyfriend and smiled.

"It was," I said before setting the CD safely on the top bunk. "Thanks for the present Tai."

"No problem," he ran his fingers through my hair. "I'm really glad you liked it." I slid my hands around his neck and gently pulled his face closer to mine. He happily complied to the hint and kissed me fully on the lips. It started off innocently enough…but then I found myself wanting a little more.

I opened my mouth slightly and slid my tongue lightly across his lips. It took me a couple of times before Tai opened his mouth and allowed my tongue to enter his own. Slowly I lowered myself on his bed, bringing him fully on top of me. I allowed my hands to wander around Tai's back and chest. The only thing blocking my hands from feeling his tan skin was a cotton shirt…but not for long.

"M-Matt?" Tai muttered, breathlessly breaking away from the kiss. I stopped myself from trying to take of his shirt. "What are you doing?" I lifted my face up and started kissing him again. He was a little hesitant at first, but soon we got back to the slow rhythm we had established. I lowered my hands from his shirt down to his waist. "Matt?" Suddenly, my right hand fell right on top of his hidden manhood and gently squeezed it. "MATT!"

Tai lurched back and hit his head on the top bunk hard before falling off the bed. I cringed slightly when I heard his body hit the floor with a loud "WHAM!" Quickly, I leaned over the bed and stared down at him.

"Tai are you ok?" I gasped. He let out a groan of pain as he rubbed his head. I reached out to touch his head, but he pushed my hand away. Tai looked up at me with confusion written all over.

"What the hell was that?" he asked. "Why did you grope me there?"

"Tai, your family!" I hissed. The soccer captain's eyes widened and he covered his mouth. We waited for a moment to see if anyone would come racing inside his room, but luckily no one did. Tai slowly stood up and stared at me.

"Well?" he challenged quietly. I opened my mouth to explain but I couldn't. In honestly, I had no idea what had gotten over me. Just a few hours ago, I was freaking out over the idea of seeing Tai naked, and now I was trying to get him naked! "I'm waiting Matt." I sat up on the bed and tried to put all the pieces together in my mind as best as I could. Finally, I took a deep breath and started trying to explain.

"I was kind of under the impression that your present for me was going to be…um…" My eyes fell directly on his groin area. Tai saw that and he turned his pelvis away slightly.

"Are you serious?" he gasped. "What the hell would give you that idea?"

"Your hints," I stated. "Primarily the song you didn't even bother to listen to."

"It was singing about a peacock!" he defended. I stared at him for a moment, then pulled out my phone to play the song. Tai listened careful and then his face turned red after hearing it completely. "Oh gosh…" He buried his face in his hands and let out a frustrated growl.

Before I could say anything, Kari opened the door. My heart skipped a beat as the younger girl eyed me and her brother curiously.

"Are you guys ok in here?" she asked. Shit, maybe they did hear us! This would probably get me banned from seeing my boyfriend for all time and eternity! "I heard a loud crash."

"W-we're fine," Tai flushed. Kari gave her brother a sly look.

"You boys aren't doing any nasty-nasty are you?" she asked teasingly.

"No! Of course not!" Tai said quickly. "We'd never do anything that stupid!" I looked at Tai in disbelief. "Just…go back and watch your show with Dad!"

"Whatever you say," she smiled sweetly. She gave me quick wink before closing the door. Tai sighed and sat down at his desk. He rested his chin on his hand and stared down at the wood floor.

"I'm so sorry Matt…" he grumbled. I stared at him for a moment.

"…I'm not," I said. Tai turned his head to look at me. "I mean…sure a few hours ago, I was freaking out about it because I didn't feel ready…But now, I think I am." The brunette didn't say anything. I hesitated slightly before getting to the point I wanted to make. "Tai, I want to have sex with you." His brown eyes didn't blink once as I confessed how I was feeling. Suddenly, he started laughing.

"That's funny Matt," he laughed.

"I'm serious Tai," I frowned. "I really want to."

"That's not gonna happen," he shook his head.

"Why not?" I challenged.

"Matt, we're just kids," he explained to me.

"No, we're not. We're in high school."

"It's pretty much the same thing. We're too young to really understand that sort of thing."

"I don't think so. I love you, Tai."

"And I love you."

"So why can't we have sex?"

"Ok, first off, don't say that word. You make it sound dirty."

"What?" How was that relevant to anything we were talking about?

"Second off, I'm not ready to take that step with you Matt. It's too soon." I stared at him in disbelief and then turned my gaze to the floor.

"We've been dating since our freshman year," I grumbled. "How is this too soon?" I saw him shrug from the corner of my eyes. I felt my heart sink slightly. "…you don't want to commit to me…"

"What?" he asked. I glared up at him.

"That's it," I said. "You're afraid to fully commit to me."

"…Wo-o-ow," he gave me an unimpressed look. "Ok, overly-emotional-bitch, what have you done with my boyfriend?"

"What did you just call me?" I gasped.

"Seriously Matt, why is this such a big deal to you? I mean, only a girl would be freaking out over this sort of stuff." I clenched my jaw as I stared at him. I didn't like this side of Tai that I was seeing. I stood up and started heading for the door. "Where are you going?"

"Away from you," I growled. Tai quickly got to his feet and grabbed my arm.

"Come on Matt, don't be like this," he said. I yanked my arm away from him. "What? You're going to throw a hissy fit now like a little three year old?"

"Stop it!" I snapped at him. "I'm not a bitch or a three year old!"

"Then stop freaking out!" he snapped back.

"Do you even understand why I'm upset Tai?" I asked.

"Because I don't want to have sex with you," he rolled his eyes. "So what? A lot of kids don't have sex."

"It's not just about the sex Tai!" I growled. "It's the fact that you don't seem to care about how I feel!"

"I do care, dammit!"

"Oh, so that's why you called me an 'overly-emotional-bitch' and a 'three-year-old?' That's so caring of you, Tai."

"Why are you making this thing such a big deal?"

"Because I wanted to do something special and intimate with you this Valentine's Day."

"It would have been a lot more special if you didn't screw everything up just now!" I stared at him in disbelief and he stared back. Suddenly, his face went from angry, to slightly horrified. "Wait…I didn't mean that…"

"…Yes you did…" I muttered. I opened the door to his room and left the Kamiya apartment.


Tai's not brave enough to let Matt see his peacock. :(

Not sure if I did the fight any justice (or made it make sense)...but I thought this chapter was pretty fun to write! :3

Let me know what you think! Do you love it? Do you hate it? Do you wish you had a lovely bunch of coconuts? Any sort of feedback is helpful to me, but flames aren't and will be used for weenie roasting.

Thanks for reading! :)
