Day 10: With animal ears
-o-o-o-
Sunday morning Matt was walking to Tai's house. He kept his head down the entire way there, with an embarrassed blush covering his face. He got a few curious looks from passersby, but no one made any comment, which Matt was thankful for.
He made it to Tai's apartment and knocked on the door, shifting his weight from one foot to the other nervously. The door opened.
"Oh, hello Yamato." Mrs. Kamiya smiled, either not noticing or ignoring Matt's current appearance. "Please come in. I'll get Tai for you."
The blond stepped into the apartment, but did not take his shoes off, or proceed further in than the entrance. He waited patiently as Mrs. Kamiya went further into the house and smiled slightly at the bangs and crashes he heard afterwards.
"Matt!" Tai rushed into view and was about to question the boy on his unannounced appearance, but stopped short as he caught sight of the teen. "Why are you wearing a black cat ears on your head?"
Matt blushed a deep shade of red and looked down at his feet. He mumbled something, which Tai wouldn't have heard anyway, had he even been listening. Instead, the brunet was slowly edging towards the blond and gave the left ear a flick.
"They suit you."
If possible, Matt blushed harder, "I lost a bet..."
"Huh?" Tai stopped his assault on the black ears. "You what?"
Matt cleared his throat, "I lost a bet." Tai quirked an eyebrow. "With the band. The penalty was wearing these stupid ears in public." Pleading blue eyes met brown. "Would you please come walk with me? I don't want to do this alone and the guys told me to keep them on the whole day. I don't think I need to be out in public the whole time, but probably for longer than just the walk over. And then you can also act as a wit—"
Tai leaned in and silenced the rambling musician with a quick kiss. "I would love to accompany you on a walk. Just let me get ready and we can go." With that the brunet rushed back to his room before rushing back out, shoving his shoes on, grabbing Matt's hand, and dragging them both outside.
The two turned to head towards their usual park, the cat-eared blond yet again attracting unwanted attention from others. Tai glanced at the uncomfortable boy and grinned. He plunged his hand into the pocket of his shorts before whipping out a white headband with pointed ears. Still grinning, he put the ears on his own head and turned to a baffled Matt. "Now we match!"
Matt continued his staring for a full minute, before a loving smile graced his features. He laced his fingers with Tai's and the two continued their walk, getting fewer glances now that they matched.
