This is a Jymato fanfic. This means it is based on a romantic relationship between Matt Ishida
and Joe Kido from Digimon, and yes, they are both male. And if this offends you, GROW UP!
Joe Kido turned on his radio. He opened his Health book, and flipped through a few pages until
he stopped and began to take notes in a spiral. He was studying to be a doctor, like his
father and Brother Jim. To him, being a "doctor" had always meant surgery. And surgery meant
blood. Blood meant fainting. He decided to be a medical doctor instead, giving out prescriptions
and the like. He preferred this method of doctoring. Another part of being a surgeon, like his father
was the deaths. Joe knew there were deaths in medicine, but not as much. He'd had enough
death in the Digital World.
Then a new song began to play. It was a young man doing man singing with a drummer and
pianist. The man's voice was familiar, but he wasn't exactly sure. Matt's new song? he
thought. It sounded like Matt, but he voice seemed a little deeper. Joe smiled,
remembering. He and seven other kids had gone to a place called the Digital World. There they
each met a Digimon that would become their partner and lifelong friend. Joe became friends
with the energetic and wise Gomamon. They quarreled a lot, but it was more about the clash of
his and the digimon's personality more than anything. He remembered his last conversation with
Gomamon. He looked up at his bulletin board to a picture tacked on it. A picture of a young boy
with wild brown hair, a blonde with spiked hair, an attractive girl wearing a helmet, a nerdy boy
with glasses, a tall girl wearing a ridiculous pink cowboy hat, a short redhead with messy hair and
two little kids, an innocent looking blonde boy you could tell was related to the other blonde, and a
girl with short light brown hair. With them was a short weird old man and all of them were
surrounded by little animals, resembling dinosaurs, dogs, cats, pigs, bugs, plants, a fish with
claws a centaur and an ogre. "Exactly how did your interviews go, buddy?" Joe asked the
picture. He brushed away the tears from his eyes and went back to his notes.
"Oh, Matt!" millions of girls (and guys) were screaming as a young man, very handsome
with stylish hair a medium blonde and deep blue eyes, walked up to a microphone. In a smooth
voice, a little deeper than, say, a thirteen year old's he began to sing. "Even in the darkness I'll
find you. I'll find my light..." Of course, if it weren't for the sound equipment you wouldn't be able
to hear him over the screaming girls, even with the mike. In the back two guys were holding up a
a flashy sign saying, "Matt's the REAL Digi-rockstar!" Matt tried not to laugh or get really
annoyed, but he ended up laughing to himself. Noticing he'd forgotten to keep singing, he began
to sing a new song before his fans got mad. That would've been really dangerous.
Tai Kamiya walked up to a gray car, carrying a sign. He put it in the trunk, and was about to
say something to the person in the car, but was interrupted by TK's yelling at him for leaving
him with all those girls. "It's not my fault they like ya, TK!" he shouted back. Tai felt himself get
whacked hard on the back of the head by the tall seventh grader. Inside his car, Joe grinned at
Tai. "You shouldn't make fun of your sister's boyfriend like that, Tai." he tells Tai, loudly
enough for TK to hear. "She's not my girlfriend, you ditz!" they both heard TK yell. Joe and
Tai high-fived each other. "Hey, Tai!" they all heard someone yell. They all turned (okay so
Joe didn't) to see Matt waving at them, his expression a bit ticked off. He walked up Tai,
while TK and Joe instinctively put their fingers in their ears.
"DON'T YOU EVER DO THAT AGAIN IN THE MIDDLE OF MY CONCERTS!!" Matt screamed. TK and Joe released their fingers.
"It's not my fault you laughed, you blowhard!" Tai quipped back. Joe found
himself staring at Matt. When did he get to be so handsome? I mean, wait a minute here...he's
my friend and I don't even know if he's like me... about two years ago, Joe admitted to his
brother and friends that he was gay. He brother said he'd known already and his friends weren't all
that suprised. He expected Tai would be, but he seemed to handle it really well. TK and
Kari (Tai's sister) didn't really get why Joe thought it was so strange to other people, while
Matt...he didn't say anything. Not that he'd expected him to. But it was when Matt stopped
sending him emails and even looking at him that Joe got worried. "Hey Joe, wake up!" he heard
Tai say to him. "Oh, oh right...I'm awake." Joe mumbled. He was so caught up in his thoughts
he hadn't noticed all the other guys getting the car. "Uh, where are we going?" asked Joe. "To
the Nerima department store." replied Tai. "Right Okay, let's goooo!" yelled Joe, cheering as
the car drove out the parking lot. He's so weird sometimes. Matt thought. But still, even though
he's such a wimp sometimes you can always count on him. Matt looked over at Tai, who
was teasing his brother again. I can't believe I got so mad at him back in that cave three years
ago. It's not like he was trying to take away TK by being brotherly, that's really his nature. That,
and I thought it was wrong to feel how I did about him. Matt sighed. It was back then he first
realized he had feelings for guys. He hadn't told anyone yet, and he wasn't going to unless his
career spiraled down. It was more his fans he was worried about than his family and friends. He
knew all his friends and TK would deal with it fine, although he wasn't sure about his dad. His
mom probably knew by now. But after Joe had admitted he was gay, Matt didn't want any
contact with him. I don't want to be with anyone like that, he though. I mean it still could be a
phase, right? And what if it rubbed off on me? He knew that wasn't true, but he needed some
excuse to not have contact with Joe. Because people might call him gay and stuff, then they'd
find out he really was and couldn't let them. Great, now he was being paranoid. The car stopped.
Matt looked around him. "Welcome to the huge parking lot of the Nerima department store."
