Chapter Seven: All Around (Final Chapter)

(fuck)
That night, Tai and Matt slept safely, for the first time in each other's arms. Tai had called his mom to tell her that he would spend the night at the house, and didn't know when he'd be back. And so, nothing would disturb the troubled couple now.
" Tai?" Matt asked quietly as they settled underneath the
black covers.
" Yeah love?"
" Do you still love me?" Matt whispered softly, his tone
begging.
" Of course I do. Why wouldn't I?"
A fork stuck in the road
" I don't know. Just checking, that's all," Matt answered sleepily.
It wasn't too long before Matt fell dead asleep, cuddled
up in Tai's opened arms. All around Tai
and Matt lay the stars, which were visible through the open window. The stars
shined down their gentle light, licking the gardens and pouring in though the
window of the couple's room.
// So now it's finally over. Ishida-san will leave us alone.
Everything has worked out for the best. I have Matt fully in my life, and he
loves me, and I love him. Not even Mr. Ishida could prove that wrong. If that
sadistic bastard couldn't do it, no one can. I don't care what it takes; I'm
going to build up our life. Perhaps we'll live here, and adopt a few children.
Maybe. I was never too fond of kids. Probably because I dropped Kari when she
was really little. I don't think I ever got over it, even if she did forgive
me.
It's going to be hard for us, I know that much right now.
I want to become and painter and Matt, a chemist. Luckily for me, artists
usually have open minds. I'm not sure about chemists, but I'm sure we'll know
soon.
Directs you where to go
I'm not too sure how people are going to react, especially my family. I know Kari will think it's the sweetest thing on earth, but my parents, I'm not so sure. They aren't homophobes and are okay with other people doing it, but I don't think they'll appreciate their son as gay. I remember when I was little, maybe 6 or 7, they would also tell me I was very handsome and would end up marrying the perfect little wife and have the best little kids you ever did see. They never said anything about me marrying the perfect guy, let alone Matt.
The other
DigiDestined will accept it, mostly because they already said yes to Davis and Ken.
They all are very open-minded people, and besides, they've known us too long to
hate us. It's not like one day Matt and I are your best friends for 7 years,
and the next to cast us out to nowhere. I'm not really worried about what
people I know will do; I think it's what strangers will do. You never can be
sure who's a homophobe and who's not. It takes time to learn a person and
strangers do have the time really. But I guess that's life\\
Tai's thoughts began to waver back to the small angel
sleeping softly in his arms. A small smile played it's way onto his lips and
Tai leaned down and kissed Matt softly on the forehead. He too, fell asleep.
The room was now completely silent, save for the gentle noise as the night air
washed through the room, rolling over everything. Several papers on the desk
blew off and were scattered on the floor.
