Is anyone else confused by the character option? Why are there two Taichi Y.? I'm soooo confused *feels confused* o.O



Say Bye to the Frog
Kinda Cute



At first I hated you. Remember in the Digital World? How we always fought?

But then I realized I was jealous of Sora because she was closer to you, but that got me no where. I don't know how me and her ended up dating.

That doesn't matter though. It's all over between us. Now I only have eyes for you. Tai, I know this is hard to accept, but I really do care for you. I love you. No matter how much we bicker and argue with each other, my feelings linger towards love.

He looked into his eyes, waiting for a response. All he got was a croak.

That sounded terribly cliché, didn't it? Matt asked, scooping the frog into his hand. Remind me to never tell my feelings to Tai like that.

Kermit croaked and shifted in Matt's hand.

Well don't freak out on me! EW! Back in the cage you go! Matt practically dropped the poor creature into its cage and shut the screen.

I can't believe I've resorted talking to you, he said, shaking his head. It sounds like I'm talking to myself.

The frog didn't do anything but sit in its cage, staring at Matt.

Didn't your mother ever teach you not to stare at people? the blonde asked, shaking his head.

Kermit croaked and turned towards its lunch: dead flies; dead store bought flies, to be exact.

Matt flopped on the couch, feeling utterly bored. He would call Tai over, but now he couldn't get the image of Tai and Mimi out of his head ever since yesterday, so now he was stuck researching'. There wasn't really anything to research. Well, maybe a bit. Their project mainly was going to be on how frogs are being destroyed everyday and how they respond to humans taking away their marshes. That's why they poked the frog with a pin, so that they could see how he reacts.

The door opened and Mr. Ishida popped his head in. Who were you talking to?

Hmm? Oh that? Heh, I was just - uh - practicing singing.

Mr. Ishida's brow crinkled and he shrugged. Okay then. I just wanted to tell you that I'm leaving for that business trip in another hour.

Oh. Right. Matt nodded and smiled, mentally praying for him to leave the room.

So remember: no parties, no girls and no drugs or alcohol. Tai can stay over, if you want.

Matt nodded again.

Their was an awkward silence until Mr. Ishida left the room, leaving Matt to fall back into his thoughts.

His father was always going on trips. Sure he didn't mind it as much anymore - mainly because he could have the house to himself - but there was a time when he wanted his father home.

Matt rolled his eyes. The only reason he wanted his father to stay home was so that he could make his father to be the bad guy' by not letting Tai coming over. And again that leads to Tai not coming over for the reason that he and Mimi could be dating. Matt sighed and shook his head. He was getting too upset over this.

The phone rang and Matt quickly reached for it, answering it.

Hey Matt, it's Tai.

Matt said simply, having trouble keeping the tone of his voice cheerful.

Is something wrong? he asked.



Good. Then I'm going to come over in an hour or so. See you then.

Tai hung up the phone, leaving Matt blinking. Did he just invite himself over? How'd that happen?! Hanging up the phone, Matt sighed. It was going to be a long evening.

**~**

When Matt opened up the door, he expected nothing to be on Tai but his clothing and shoes. Instead, he found himself taking Tai's pillow and duffel bag from him, as well as putting away two sets of shows. God, why the hell would he need two pair of shoes? Matt pondered that question as he put Tai's stuff in his room.

When he came back into the living room, he found Tai stretched on the couch with his feet comfortably resting on the coffee table.

What's for dinner? he asked casually, smiling a cheeky grin.

First you invite yourself over, announce that your staying over night, and now you want dinner too? Matt asked.

Well yeah.

Matt smiled and rolled his eyes. What do you want then?

Tai stood up, following Matt into the kitchen. Maybe we could have frog stew!

Hey, that's not nice! Matt scolded. Besides, I don't think frogs would taste any good anyway.

How would you know if you've never tried?

I said I think' not I know', Matt retorted.

This time Tai rolled his eyes. Then let's have pizza.

Matt nodded.

We can make the pizza ourselves! Tai cried out excitedly.

Why not just order it? Matt asked.

Well unless you've got any money, we'll have to make it.

**~**

There, it's in, Matt announced happily, smiling as he shut the oven door.

That was fun!

Matt said slowly. He looked down at himself, noticing white areas of dough and red sauce spots. I better change.

Tai laughed. You just can't handle the fact that you got pizza dough on you, can you?

Maybe I just like to look good, Matt said indignity.

For a moment he and Tai stood staring at each other, not taking their stare off each other. That was until they could hear noises coming from Matt's room.

What's that?

I think it's Kermit, Matt replied, beginning to head towards his room.

Sure enough, the frog was croaking.

Maybe it wants food, Tai suggested.

Matt shrugged and opened the cage door, shaking in a few live insects. The frog made no attempt to eat them.

Or maybe not, Tai said.

Matt smiled and opened the cage door again, scooping the amphibian into his hands. Kermit immediately stopped croaking once Matt began to stroke his back.

Tai smiled. He likes you Matt.

Matt laughed. Just a few hours I was grossed out by him. But I guess he's kinda cute.

Cuter than me?

No way, Tai, Matt whispered, looking away and walking towards his bed. He sat down, only a moment later to be joined by Tai.

See, the frog's not so bad, Tai said.

Matt smiled. I guess he's not.

So you don't think it's icky or gross anymore?

I guess not.

Matt looked up to find Tai's eyes boring into his.

It's not so bad, Tai whispered.

Not so bad, Matt whispered back slowly.

Tai's eyes continued to bore into his, as if sending a message. It frightened Matt a bit, but he continued to stare longingly back at Tai. Time seemed to stop as they stared at each other for what seemed like forever.

Back to fluffiness! More will come soon, I promise!
