The second fic from A Digimon's POV. This time it's Gabumon, talking about Matt. I know there's a quite a few of this kind out there, but I AM going to do all the Digimons, so I might as well just write this one too. Again, this is set for season01.
Disclaimer: Nope, I don't own Digimon. I hate saying this.

A Digimon's POV - Friendship
Story by: Wings
*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*
Matt. When I first met him on Server, I remembered that my first impression of him is - tough and cool.
I've grown to know him very well, but he is not tough. He just acts tough. And of course, he's cool. 100% head to toes cool.
Seriously, I think he acts tough just to cover up his sensitive side. I mean, look at this. I remember the time when we were on the strange bus, Matt told me to lie beside TK because my fur was itching him. Seriously, I know that he only wanted me to go and keep TK warm. But he just won't admit that.
Maybe it was the divorce of him and TK's parents that made him change into such a lonely person.
Looking into his eyes is just like looking into a lone wolf's.
Speaking of lone wolf... Matt do remind me of one. He got pretty much of a lone wolf's traits - defiant, lonely, not listening to the others, and always seem to be winding up in a fight.
He even got the strength of a wolf to fight, I mean, look at Tai. He's the atheletic kind of kid, and if someone picks a fight on him, Tai will probably end up winning. But Matt. He fights Tai on an even ground.
Of course, nobody wins in the end. Either me or Sora, and at some odd times, Joe, will eventually break it up. There are times when I thought that this fighting can get Matt's true feelings out, but so far it only worked once.
I admit that Matt's a bit too overprotective towards TK, but he only did it because TK's his little brother. If they weren't brothers, see if Matt will care about TK as much!
But Matt's main problem is that he wouldn't talk about his emotional problems. He just keeps them shut inside his heart. When the problem do arise to the surface, he would rather choose to escape then to face it.
That's fine, but if one keeps doing that for a long time, one's heart and belief will die down bit by bit.
And that's just exactly what happened to Matt.
Ever since he ran away from the group because of TK's outburst, I've seen his true self.
Underneath that cool exterior, is a sensitive heart which was slaughtered several times already. TK merely just added another whip at it without knowing the permanent damage he'd done.
I was so glad when Matt decided to show up and rescue the gang from Puppetmon. I thought that he decided to return and join back in, but he did not. He showed up just to save the group, but at least I saw a smile that I haven't saw for days.
All because of Sora's one simple thank-you.
I guess there's somebody else beside TK that did matter to Matt. Sora. And Tai.
Matt, I know you are lonely, but you are not. You have a group of special friends who cherish you, and of course, I do too.
You are a good friend to have, Matt, and you do act like one. Maybe you did this unconsciously, or maybe you just pretended that you didn't do it. Either way, you know that you aren't lonely.
As the bearer of the crest of Friendship, you won't, and never will, be lonely.
Maybe you don't believe me, but trust me, every word that I just said, I mean it.
Just open up your heart, and you'll see a whole new world.
And I'll be with you till you find that day, that world.
I'll be with you, Matt.
*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~
Again, very short. But
this is exactly what I think of Matt. Oh, and one thing. When
I said that Sora mattered to Matt, I don't mean it romantically, cause
they are just kids back in season01!! Of course, I didn't say nothing
happened in season02! Review, please! ^_^
