Aggressiveness 101
"Matt….we need to talk." The NORMAL Tai said in a dangerous tone.
"Tai? Is that you?" Matt asked, still dazed from his terrifying nightmare.
"Yes it is. Now shut up….because I'm going to say what I've go to say." Tai said, while pacing back and forth in front of Matt. The room was silent for the next five minutes while Tai paced furiously. After about five minutes passed, Tai stopped pacing and turned to face Matt.
"Matt….I'm going to start off with a question and you better answer truthfully or so help me, I will knock your teeth in." Tai snarled softly at the scared blonde. Matt just nodded dumbly. This was the first time, ever, that Matt was genuinely afraid of the brunette he's come to love.
"Matt…do you or do you not love me?" Tai said, looking Matt deep in his eyes. Matt's eyes widened in shock. He never thought Tai would doubt his love for him but then again, he hasn't acted in a very loving manner.
"Tai…of course I love you. More than anything."
"Ok…you claim you love me. Fine." Tai said darkly. Matt didn't like how Tai emphasized 'claim'. "Yet, you not only decline my marriage proposal, and you break of our relationship for the second time, but this time you did both without even telling why you did it."
"Tai….I..." but Matt was quickly stopped by Tai.
"Shut up Matt. I'm not finished. The last time you broke up with me, I knew why. You told me why, it didn't stop me from being mad with you but I wasn't as mad with you then as I am now. I told you Matt that if you ever broke my heart like you did years ago, it was over. Permanently."
Matt shook his head sadly. This was what he was afraid of after he broke it off. Tai's words from 4 months ago playing back through his head repeatedly.
"Tai no…..just I'm…"
"No Matt, you have no excuse for this. I'm not going to beg and plead like before because I'm a grown ass man not the little boy you broke up with years earlier. I just want to know before I leave, why? Why did you break up with me?"
Matt sat there in shock. Tai hasn't spoken to him like that since they had that first dinner together. "Tai….it's you. We're…just so different now. You're just too damn good for me…."
"Matt no…that's no…"
"No Tai, you didn't want me interrupting you. Give me the same courtesy. You deserve better than some failed musician working in a gas station. I love you Tai but I had to let you go. I knew it was a matter of time before you realized this too and left me and the way I was taught, get them before they get you."
Tai sat stone faced as Matt finished his explanation. He can't believe what he had just heard. Matt was actually afraid that they didn't belong together because of money? Tai was just totally shocked.
"Matty…..I love you and your son actually. Your son and my son are practically just like us when we were their age. I love you because you make my life worth living, even now. You have a charm that no one else can duplicate. You're intelligent, beautiful, loving…hell Matty, there are to many things that I love and admire about you. But…."
"But?" Matt asked, becoming teary eyed at Tai's speech.
"But….the fact you think I would break up with you because you're a gas attendant and I'm a rich lawyer shows me that I might be making a mistake in trying to get you back. Hell Matty, if it came to it I'd give up my wealth and me and my sons would move in with you and yours. You mean more to me and money and the only role money has in this is it would help me make YOUR life better Matty. I love you too damn much to just let you break up with me over that so if that was your only reason, then you better braced yourself for a lot of sleepless nights because I will not give you a moments rest until you're mine again." Tai said, softly. Somewhere along the speech, Matt's hand wound up in Tai's stronger one.
"Tai….ask me again" Matt whispered, wiping tears from his eyes and squeezing Tai's hand firmly.
"What?" Tai asked, extremely confused
"Ask me to marry you again. Ask me" Matt said firmly, looking into Tai's deep orbs.
Tai simply stared back and didn't see the fear and confusion he saw before but saw a look of love, longing, pleading and a little lust.
"Matty….will….will you marry me? Please." Tai pleaded.
"Yes Tai….I will marry you." Matt said, a little loudly. As soon as Matt said that, Tai broke down into heavy sobs and absorbed Matt into a fierce hug..
"OH MATTY…..you have no idea how happy this makes me. You won't try to leave me again will you? I'm begging you….if you feel like you can't do this, take it back now. Because if we marry and you do this a third time…I'll get you. I'm a lawyer; I can make your life miserable." Tai chuckled as he hugged Matt tighter.
"Tai Kamiya. I promise you…that as long as my name is Yamato Ishida, I will always love you and will be your loving husband as long as you'll be mine. I love you Tai." Matt said, kissing Tai gently on the nose.
"Ok Matty….as long as you don't change your name…I'll always be your husband." Tai smiled as he took Matt into a very deep and passionate kiss. As they kissed long and hard, realization hit them both at the same time….
'I…I'm getting married.'
At Tai's House, this part is sort of random but…whatever
"So, Davis….how's Tai been holding up?" TK asked, while snuggled into Davis's side.
"Well…..he's cheerful one moment then he's ready to kill one moment. I don't dare mess with him when he's pissed like that" Davis said as he continued to run his tan fingers through TK's hair. That was another characteristic Davis shared with his bigger big brother. Their tan skin and affectionate nature.
"I can understand….but when he gets like that, you gotta learn how to control them. Like earlier, I was bitching Matt out about what he did to Tai and he tried to cock an attitude with me. I went straight psycho on him." TK said, puffing his chest out with pride, but Davis simply laughed. "What's so funny?"
"If you 'bitched' Matt out as you so put it, does that make you a girl?" Davis laughed and TK thumped him on the head.
"No Davis my love, I'm perfectly serious. In order to be able to exercise some control over your older brother, you gotta be aggressive and demanding." TK said, rubbing Davis's knee gently. Just as this was going on, Tai was walking in the house, with a dreamy expression on his face and he was practically skipping with joy.
"Ok TK, you say I need to be aggressive in order to control Tai…watch this." Davis whispered and got up. He stomped his way over to Tai with his hands on his hips.
"TAICHI KAMIYA, WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN. YOU FUCKING STORM OUT OF THIS HOUSE LIKE YOU'RE CRAZY? I DEMAND TO KNOW WHERE YOU WERE!" Davis yelled at the taller brunette. Tai looked at Davis like he lost his mind. Tai grabbed Davis by the front of his shirt and pulled his younger brother closer to his face.
"Davis….who the hell are you talking to like that? I swear….if you ever yell at me and ruin my good mood like this again….you will be impaled on a very, VERY sharp object." Tai whispered in a deadly whisper all while smirking at Davis.
Once Tai left the room, Davis returned to his boyfriend's side. "TK, being demanding may work with your brother but you forgot…."
"Forgot what Davy?"
"You forgot, this is Tai Kamiya we're talking about, he always gets what he wants."
