Part 4
The next day Tai woke up, grimacing at the foul taste in his mouth. He went to the bathroom and brushed his teeth and scrubbed at his tongue, turning over the events of last night in his head. Matt had probably gone home after he had gotten him back to his bed.
He was slightly ticked that Matt hadn't believed he meant any of what he had said last night, but he didn't really blame him. Tai bent his head to spit and then rinse and when he looked up in the mirror he could see Matt's reflection behind him.
"You're here?" he asked in surprise.
"You passed out," Matt said and it was all the explanation he was going to give. "But I'll leave soon."
"What I said last night, I meant it. You live here, and you're welcome to your room."
"I'm not sure I could Tai."
"Matt, I love you, please don't shut me out."
"Tai, it's not that easy."
"Only because you wont let it be." Matt sighed.
"Are you willing to do it then? Come out, become domestic partners? I want to take you to the doctors. You need to go."
"I still don't think I need a doctor, but yes. I'll do whatever it takes, I don't want to lose you Matt."
"I love you," Matt said smiling, relief sweeping through him.
"I love you too," Tai said and tried to kiss Matt. Matt caught his shoulders and kept him back.
"If you don't mind, I really have to pee."
Tai laughed and walked to the bathroom, feeling like he was walking on air.

Tai sat back on the couch after sticking the movie in the VCR and waiting for Matt. Matt came out of the kitchen with a bowl of popcorn in his hand and sat next to Tai. Tai wrapped one of his arms around Matt's shoulders.
As Matt burrowed into Tai's side, sliding down on the couch so he could rest his head on Tai's shoulder he thought of the events of the past month.
It was official, they were domestic partners and Tai was fully covered under Matt's insurance and benefits the same as if they were married. And while Tai had been fired from his old job he had found an even better one, with normal hours so now they could spend more time together. They found ways to amuse themselves so Tai didn't mind being kicked off the soccer team. And though Tai wouldn't admit it Matt could normally wear him out worse then any soccer game.
For Tai the hardest part had been admitting to all their friends and family about their sexuality but none of them had been that surprised and there had only been one bad reaction. Matt's mother had thrown a fit and said quite a few things that had scarred Matt. Tai still couldn't believe she had said she was glad she had gotten rid of him when he was a little kid. Matt hadn't been too bothered, he had hardly known his mother.
Tai had gone to the doctor after Matt had gotten him covered and it turned out that Tai just got really bad migraines, and taking aspirin hadn't helped at all.
Matt turned his head and kissed the underside of Tai's jaw as the previews ended.
Life was good.
Well i hoped you enjoyed that, i liked it in anycase. Bye!
