Discussion; Chapter 4 Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon. If I did, it would be swarmed with Taito, Sora would be long dead, revived, killed, revived, killed, until she has many many many many horrible deaths, at which point revival wouldn't be an option. I don't like Sora, can ya tell? Basically, if you sue me, you'll get the computer I'm typing on (all 75 Mhz of it [yes, it's shit, I got it for free]), Digimon cards which I doubt you need since you make them, and a whole $13.24. Got it? Good.


Notes on the story? Um... okay... if you don't know this, then take your lazy ass back and read chapters one through three.







That First Step's a Doosie...
(how long's it been since you heard the word "doosie"?)




Tai was now standing, doing quick, short paces, occasionally looking at Matt. "Okay." he paused. "Okay..." another pause. A few steps. "So... okay... you... okay... okay." he paced a few more steps. "So you're... okay. You...? Okay." he took a deep breath. "So you're sayi-- okay... okay..." he stopped trying to talk long enough to think halfway straight. He took another deep breath, then looked at Matt again. "Me? As in, me, Taichi Yagami? Me the idiot everyone made fun of? You... Yamato Ishida... singer, astronaut...?"

Matt's eyes lowered. Tai was taking it worse than he had expected. Hell, for 5 minutes, just about the only word he seemed fully capable of forming was "Okay". "I shouldn't have told you..."

"Okay...so..." Tai shook his head, trying to keep from getting back on that track again. "Let me get this straight. Did I get... your... wording right?"

Matt looked up. "What?"

"You said... you... wanted me." a pause. "What exactly did you mean?"

"You know full well..."

"No... I don't." Tai bit his lip, then looked at Matt, who had watery eyes. He gathered his courage, hoping he had taken it right. "It... might just be wishful thinking."

Matt looked up, confused. "Huh?"

Tai tried to flash a grin, but it quickly faded as he sighed. "So... we've known each other... what? Almost twenty years? Twenty years and you just say this now? Two married, 30 year old men with kids, and you pop this up?" Tai asked, looking out the glass door.

Matt hung his head. "I'm sorry..." he whispered.

Tai took another breath. "Tell me... how did it get this far?"

"How did what get this far?"

Pause. "A... mistake of a lifetime." he looked over his shoulder. "Sora's hurt, you're hurt..." he lowered his head again and looked away. "Your kids... soon..." Tai cut himself off.

"Mistake?"

Tai fell back into a chair, then spoke softly. "Why was I such a chicken?" Matt looked even more confused. "Why were... we both?" More confusion. "Matt... Yama..." he looked directly at the other. "I wanted to tell you... back on that island in our first adventure in DigiWorld..." pause. "I... wanted you too."

Matt's eyes went huge.

The two sat silently for a second, then Matt's eyes narrowed at noone in particular. "Damn. My life's just been a circle. I giant, fucking, 20 year circle." he looked away from Tai. "And in the end we're screwed anyway."

"Huh?"

Matt looked back at him, and it was obvious to the brunette that Matt was at the verge of crying. "Tai... we could never be together. Not now... back then, maybe..."

"Why not?"

Matt swallowed. "We have kids... mine are having to go through a divorce. I know how bad that is. Imagine if they found out I was... gay? And what about you? Do YOU want your kid going through a divorce too? Finding out that you're different? And what about our jobs? You're an Ambassador. You're so respected. And face it Tai... our... kind... isn't exactly smiled upon. Sure, you'd still be Ambassador, but your reputation..."

Tai shook his head, standing up and walking over to sit next to Matt. "I don't care. I don't care what my kids think; or what the world thinks." he lightly brushed Matt's hair away. "The truth is, I don't WANT you Yama..." Matt turned his face away, but Tai took his chin and turned it back. "Yama... I love you."

Matt choked on these words. He then let himself cry as he flung himself onto the other. "Oh... my God... you love me..." he sniffed. "Tai... I love you too! Oh God..." he burried his face in the crook of Tai's neck as he cried. "How did this all happen?"

"I don't know..." he paused in stroking Matt's hair to wipe at his eyes slightly. "Sshhh... come on Angel, don't cry."

Matt paused, looking up. "What did you call me?"

"Angel." Tai smiled. "I mean... I fell in love with an angel..."

"I'm no angel." Matt scowled.

"Then how about a god? Because nothing from this earth can be so beautiful." he paused, wrapping his arms around Matt. "... How did... someone as beautiful as you fall for someone like me?"

Matt smiled, happy to be in Tai's embrace. "I... don't know. I think I always had a thing for you..." he smiled up at Tai. "But... when you disappeared in the rift, I realized... just how much you meant to me..."

"Aww... it took that long?" Tai put on a fake pout.



Mrs. Yagami walked in the front door with the groceries, automatically heading to the kitchen to put the correct items in the refridgerator.

"...took that long?"

She looked up to see Taichi sitting on the couch with Yamato. The two didn't even seem to notce her walking in.

And... her jaw just about hit the floor.

Yamato's head rested on Taichi's shoulder as the brunette ersted his head against the blonde's arms around him.

"YAGAMI TAICHI!!!" she shrieked.

What happens from there? I'm leaving it up to the imaginations of the readers... but basically, with my totally pro-Taito mind, I see them as getting together and somehow winning custody of all the kids even though that'd be impossible and living together like a normal family and all suchsquishiness... and Sora would probably die the most evil, painful, prolonged death of all deaths ever done, or even thought about being done. Why do I hate Sora so much? Probably the fact that she has no real character to her character, her fucking up Taito so badly... and possibly partially due to that dumbass hat in 01. What the hell is up with that? She's wearing a fucking cereal bowl! And is that cloth or... plastic or what? I just can't tell... Well, enough rambling on "The many reasons to hate Sora".

Plotmon: Oy. Do us all a favor and get a life, aero. Not all romance ends all sappy.

~aerogirl~: I know! I know! I just can't bring myself up to hurting my two favorite characters! I've tried! Gods I've tried! But, like any of you peoples care.

Plotmon: Nowwww you're getting it. People don't want to see your incessant rambling.

~aerogirl~: Go to hell, Plotmon.
