Yama Pov~

"Yamato!"

"Urff"

"Yamato..."

"Mmmm"

"Yamato, I'm leaving now"

That was enough to get my attention. I pulled myself out of my sleepy slumber. I stretched out my arms and let out a yawn before wrapping my arms around Taichi waist, the closest part of him I could reach without sitting up. I gave him a sleepy smile. He was completely dressed up and ready for work. Complete with dress pants and a tie. "You're wearing a tie" I said, snickering to myself.

"Yes?" he said giving me a confused look.

"Tai," I said looking up at him.

He rolled his eyes, realizing the reference I was making. "You're so original Matt".

I felt a little stupid making lame jokes like that, but it was different Tai. He made me feel different. Things weren't always so serious with him. It was like being a little kid, or having brain damage. I personally am not sure if either is positive, but I like it.

"I'm gone til five" Tai said, rubbing my hair.

"I'll be waiting" I said, still holding onto him. I nuzzled his penis with my nose. Damn his pants for holding back my favorite play toy.

"Yama, I have to go to work now" Tai blushed. A tent was formed in his weird dress pants. It was quit clear we both wanted the same thing. I couldn't help but smirk. "Shut up Yama,..".

"It's 8:47" I said looking at the alarm clock next to Tais bed. Our bed.

"Shit... I got thirteen minutes..." he said rushing out of the room.

I pushed off the blankets and followed after him. He picked up a few things in a rush; his cell phone, a folder I didn't care to know the continents of, and an apple.

"You know where everything is right? You wont die with me gone?" he said as he put his shoes on with one hand, trying not to drop his other items.

"I surely wont be able to survive 6 hours being home alone! With nobody to feed me, or read me stories, or change my diapers!"

"Kiss" Tai said, ignoring my last comment.

I put my arms around his neck and pushed our lips together, holding them there for a few seconds. Tai was the one to pull away, "I need to get to work". I still kept my arms around his neck, admiring him a little while longer. "Okay Matt?" he said. He kissed my cheek quickly and pulled away.

"Okay Tai, be safe!" I said, as he headed out the door.

"Bye cutie!" he said before closing the door behind him.

Then I was alone. It felt weird. For the first time in my short time living with him I was alone. It felt a little awkward, like I still didn't really belong there. I'm not sure what my relationship even was with Tai.

Soon enough my thoughts were interrupted by the door bell ringing. That obnoxious door bell that had woken me up yesterday. I was dressed just like yesterday too, except this time my cock was flaccid.

I walked to the door. I hesitated. It felt a little awkward opening up a door that wasn't exactly mine. Especially considering I was almost naked. That would probably be the worst part. Quickly I grabbed my purple hoodie from off the living room chair and ran back to the door. I took a deep breath and opened it.

There stood Mimi and Joe, who I could tell were a little surprised about seeing me there. It's not like I had been in close contact with any of the digidestined during my time with the beast. Just thinking about her brought up a cloudy mood. I managed to let out a quiet "Hello".

"Yamato!" Mimi exclaimed, her face quickly went from confusion to happiness. She wrapped her arms around me, pulling me in for a tight hug.

Joe was dressed in a weird sweater vest thing, with a dress shirt underneath. The whole thing screamed Joe. Mimi was wearing one of her cute dresses, of coarse it was pink too, with a yellow cardigan over top. They were both dressed nice, and there I was wearing boxers and my hoodie. I blushed a little.

The whole thing was a little embarrassing. Not only were they much nicer looking in comparison, but I hadn't spoken to them in quit a while. And to make it worse I was in Tais house. Tai. All the digidestined who I used to be so closed to would refrain from bringing Tai up in conversation to me. We didn't even have many conversations though. I believe when the whole "Matt VS Tai" thing started everyone kept closer to Tai. I barely ever spoke to my own brother. Everything, my whole life, was based around Sora.

"I've been so worried about you!" Mimi said, still holding onto me.

"Wha?.." I said, now I was the confused one.

Joe then quickly joined in on the hug. "We've been so worried Matt!".

"Am I missing something?" I said, being squished between the two.

"Oh Matt! I'm supposed to be mad at you but I'm just so happy to see you!" Mimi said, her face shouldn't have been able to handle that big of a smile.

"What why?" I said managing to pull away from the two.

"Because you're the biggest jerk in the world!" she said, somehow turning from overly happy to some sort of monster. She glared at me, I swore it should have burned holes in my flesh.

"Mimi..." Joe cut in. Being the more reasonable one he noticed my confusion.

"No! He knows what he did!" Mimi said, putting her hands on her hips.

"I have no idea whats going on..." I said, directing it at Joe.

"Don't lie!" she shrieked, "You were such an ass leaving poor Sora all alone like that!"

That hit a nerve. She was bound to come up now or then, but I'd been avoiding it. I didn't even talk about her with Tai. I was healing for fuck sake. I didn't need this. And the audacity of Mimi to say I left poor Sora. Poor Sora. What about poor Matt? I didn't exactly want Mimi fawning over me saying shit like that, but she had no right saying that.

"Excuse me?" I said, my face must have been glowing red. I could feel my heart speed up.

"Mimi..." Joe said, he was much aware of my anger.

"You just left! You didn't even give her an explanation!"

"Mimi you don't know shit about it!"

She looked at me. I could tell she was a little shocked by my outburst, even though she'd been begging for it.

"Come on guys..." Joe said quietly, trying to avoid the conflict.

"You want to know why I left?" I asked, but didn't give them time to answer. "I left because Sora was a fucking monster".

"Matt! Don't you dare say-"

Without letting her finish I pulled off my sweater. I positioned myself so my left ribcage was visible to them, "You see that?" I said pointing at a fading bruise. It was one of the older marks she left. "And see this?" I turned around, showing them my back. There were deep scratches down in. I moved my hair covering my right cheek. "This ones the more recent, she slammed me into a mirror, only after whipped a vase at me". It was hard to tell anyone this, but it was mostly out of anger. I'm sure if it was any other circumstance I'd be bawling my eyes out while pointing out marks from my painful memories.

Mimi was blushing hard. Joe looked stunned.

"I'm so sorry Matt!" she said. It was hard to be mad at her, only a few seconds ago she'd been jumping to conclusions and calling me an ass... But you can't blame her for being sincere.

"It's okay..." I said, faking a smile to try to make her feel better.

"I'm taking a look at your cuts and bruises" Joe declared.

"Joe really, they're almost faded it's okay"

"Matt, you never know". I knew it wouldn't work on Joe. One day he'd get ulcers from worrying about all of us.

"Lets go sit down," I suggested. Or rather instructed. I was tired of standing, and we'd gotten all our arguments out.

Joe poked around my bruises for a bit. "Hmmm, I think you'll be just fine" he said.

"Okay, thanks for deeming me healthy" I said sarcastically while putting my hoodie back on. "Anyways, what brings you guys here".

"Two reasons..." Joe started. "One, we were told to ask Tai if he's heard anything from you... Which we thought would be playing with fire, but to our surprise you're hear".

"You were told?"

"By Sora... She thought Tai might now" Mimi said

"She's looking for me?" I was completely terrified. I knew this would come around. I knew it. I knew I couldn't just hide my problems. Shes a monster. Shes a fucking monster.

"Don't be scared Matt, I'll be here for you" Tais words echoed in my mind. He'd be here for me. He'd protect me.

"She told us she was worried.." Joe said, interrupting my thoughts.

"She's not fucking worried" I said, half mumbling.

"Well we see that now..." Joe said.

"She can't know where I am, she can't" I said, I looked at them with a truly pathetic needy look. "Please don't tell her" I pleaded.

"Of coarse not Matt" Mimi said, putting a hand on my thigh.

"There's another reason we came here..." Joe said, a smirk coming over his face.

"Whats that?" I asked, amazed by how fast the subject of my own safety had left.

"We're getting married!" Mimi blurted out with a huge smile on her face. She held up a beautiful diamond ring.

"Are you serious?" a large smirk came across my face. I looked over at Joe, who was blushing. "Who knew Joe had a way with the ladies" I said winking. Too cute, I would have never guessed Mimi would go for a guy like Joe. The two were like exact opposites. Joe, he was reliable. A little reserved. He was smart. He was... Kind of a nerd. Mimi on the other hand was sincere. She was a little forgetful at times, and a bit of a ditz. And she was a complete princess.

Our visit lasted til 4pm, I would have thought our distance in the last year would be hard to close, but almost immediately we were able to talk like nothing had happened. Not only was it amazing we were able to talk normally, but we were able to talk for six hours. We did stop somewhere along there to kill my hunger with cheerios. Considering it was Tais house I barely even felt bad for only offering then cereal. I didn't mention anything about me and Tai. They didn't ask either. I guess they were just happy that Tai and I were friends again.

I hate to admit how anxious I was getting. Tai was so close to coming home. I sat at the chair closest to the door peeking behind me every few seconds to see if Tai was there yet. I felt like a damn puppy, waiting for its owner to come home. In fact I was blushing a bit just thinking of how ridiculous I looked.

Finally, after what seemed like days, the door opened.

"Tai!" I yelled. Literally yelled. I jumped onto him, wrapping my arms around him. He tried to return the hug without dropping the dopey briefcase he was holding.

"Matt" he said hugging me. He gave me a quick kiss on the cheek before pulling away from he hug.

"I missed you"

"I missed you too".

…...

And I missed you dear readers! :C

I can't believe how long it took for me to post this! Ahhhh!

Hopefully the next chapter comes sooner, I subtracted some of this chapter to put in the next. So I supposed it may come faster considering I have a start.
