Just a small short thing I wrote ages ago because it wouldn't get out of my head until I wrote it down. It isn't really big enough to be a fic of its own... Just a scene I thought might have happened between Matt and Tai at some point. Maybe they're on their way home from school, or something? You decide.
Disclaimer - The story idea is mine. Everything else isn't.
R&R plz!

"No, Tai!" Matt whirled around and slapped Tai's hand away angrily. "You don't understand!" he spat. "You'll never understand, so just leave me alone!"
"Matt, listen to me! I -"
"No!"
"You stupid presumptuous bastard!" Tai balled his fist and struck at Matt's jaw as hard as he knew how, driven by frustration and blind fury. Matt, unprepared for the blow, sprawled to the ground and gazed up at Tai in shock. They stared at eachother for a moment, the blaze in Tai's expression slowly fading out to a look of unsurety. Matt shot his hand up to grab Tai's collar and dragged him down to the earth, and the two began rolling on the grass, throwing determined punches at eachother as they tussled. Matt rapidly gained the upper hand, as he always did when the pair were fighting dirty, and managed to force Tai onto his back and straddle him.
"Don't... you... dare... hit... me... Tai!" he panted, punctuating each word by thrusting Tai's back against the ground by his collar. Tai's neck jarred painfully against the dry Summer earth. "Got... it?"
Tai brought his knee sharply upwards.
"EEEEEEEEeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaagggggggghhhhhhhhhh!" Matt dropped Tai's shirt and clamped his hands between his legs, tears squeezing out from under his eyelids. "Shit!"
Tai threw Matt off without a word, grabbed his schoolbag and began to run. He fell flat on his face as Matt's hand snaked around his ankle.
"I'm... not finished with... you yet," the blonde gasped, dragging himself up Tai's torso. Tai tried to tug away, but Matt's furious grip was iron. Tai just had time to catch a glimpse of a large fist obscuring his vision before his world exploded into pain. He could taste blood in his mouth - lots of blood.
"Matt... uagh..."
"My balls!" Matt was screaming, still battering Tai's forearms which were raised to protect his face. "You kneed me in the balls! Bad form, Yagami!"
"Matt!" Suddenly the pressure was taken from Tai's waist as Sora dragged Matt back. "Leave my boyfriend alone!"
"I'm not your boyfriend!" came the muffled yell from behind Tai's arms. Sora didn't hear or didn't want to. Matt considered slugging Sora too, but decided against it.
"I just wanted to tell you something!" Tai bellowed, sitting up and fixing Matt with a venomous glare. "I just wanted to tell you how I felt was all, and as usual you just started up a fight! Fine!" Tai snatched up his satchel and marched away without another word, wiping blood from the corner of his mouth. Sora directed a filthy look at Matt and ran after him. Matt could see her flitting around the bushy-haired boy like a mother hen, and Tai lashed out a hand in annoyance. It didn't hit her, but it came pretty damn close. After a few bad-tempered words of rebuke from her 'boyfriend', Sora ran off in tears.
Matt sat dishevelled on the grass, head cocked to one side, gazing ofter Tai with a puzzled frown on his face.
Just wanted to tell me how he felt...?

Very very short. I might put it into another fic later... But I might not, so I thought I should just post it as it is for now. :-p - Kae Ti
