"Hey, I was wondering when you were gonna get up."
Tai sat up on the edge of the bed, blinking a couple times to clear his sleepy vision.
"Huh? What?"
Matt sat down next to him. "Looks like you still need a couple more hours."
"How long have I been asleep?" He asked yawning and rubbing his eyes with his fists.
"I'm not sure, but we both missed dinner."
He smiled."Guess I really am tired, huh?" He quickly looked matt up and down seeing that he was still in the dirty clothes from when he was beaten nearly to death. "Why didn't you take a shower and get changed while I was asleep?"
His gaze fell to the floor. "I was going to but..." He lifted his arms to just above his shoulders before his whole body jerked with pain that shot from his ribs. He yelped and screwed his face up as he tried to take the pain. Tears stung behind his eyelids, but he held them back trying to be strong.
"Matt!," Tai shouted almost jumping off the bed from the sight. "Don't do that!" He took him gently by the shoulders and looked into his eyes, which trembled from the lightning sharp pain. "Hey, " He started in a softer tone. " if you need my help just ask okay? Promise me you won't do that again."
Matt nodded and slowly leaned in to hug Tai closer.
"How long have you been awake?" He asked the blonde, trying to calm him with his voice.
"About two hours..... I had a bad nightmare....." He said, his voice barely above a whisper. "..... I didn't want to wake you."
He smiled even though the blonde buried in his chest couldn't see it.
Tai felt a warm wet feeling soaking into his shirt.
"Matt, are you....?" He lifted Matt's head to look into his eyes. "You are." He stated with a worried look on his face.
Matt looked up with tears streaking down his cheeks as he cried silently, his glassy teared eyes trembled as though he were seeing his nightmarish monsters emerging from the shadows to come and get him.
"Tai," His voice started to break up as he spoke. "They're still out there, they're gonna find me and finish what they started."
"Sssh Sssh," Tai cooed. He began to stroke matt's hair softly. "They don't know who you are or where you live, they'll never find you and even if they did they'd have me to answer to." A strong and firm look came into Tai's face, bringing Matt a new sense of security in the brunette's arms.
He smiled while Tai wiped the tears from his cheeks with his thumb.
"You've been through so much, I'm surprised you've lasted this long with out having a nervous break down."
"Well I have you now, don't I?"
Tai chuckled.
"What are you laughing at?" Matt asked narrowing his eyes at Tai.
"Nothing," He said trying to hide his smile. "You're just so cute sometimes."
Matt pouted his lips playfully at Tai's reply.
"C'mon, I better get you a towel." He laughed. They broke away from each other so that Tai could stand. He left and came back with a large blue towel and put it on the bed, smiling sympathetically for his fragile, bruised Matt.
He kneeled on the floor next to Matt who sat coyly waiting on the bedside.
"You're gonna be careful aren't you?" He asked whispering more to himself than to Tai.
"Huh? What? Oh the shirt...."He said realizing. ".... I wouldn't be anything else but careful...with you. You know that."
He flashed a quick smile at the brunette and lifted his arms as far as he dared for him to take his shirt off.
Tai slipped his hands up the shirt and slowly traced every curve of Matt's beautiful body with the gentle tips of his fingers as if he were modeling the world's most precious piece of clay, losing himself in the moment.
Matt breathed in deeply before opening his eyes to the boy with the perfect touch.
Their faces were both red from a rush of blood.
"Uh..... Tai?" He asked half embarrassed. But didn't deny himself the fact that he had fantasized Tai touching him this way, gently, softly.
Tai snapped out of it as soon as he realized what he was doing. He pulled the remainder of the shirt off. His face, blood red, staring at the floor with embarrassment as he tried to speak with a lump in his throat.
"Matt...I uh..."
Before he could even try to say another word he was silenced with a finger over his lips. "Ssssh." Matt hushed him and lowered himself off the bed to look into Tai's chestnut eyes before leaning forward to place a kiss on his lips.
At first Tai was still and unsure of what to do but soon he was kissing back at the half naked teenager in front of him with equal pressure.
Their eyes were closed letting their lips savor every second they spent pressing against each other.
Their lips parted only a short while to breath and then one final time before their eyes locked, gazing into the others soul.
Tai's finger started doing circles on Matt's naked shoulder.
"Hey, if I don't go now I'll never get that shower." He said smiling shyly and stood up slowly to pick up the towel. Walking over to the doorway he turned back to see Tai looking up from where he still sat, who sat staring with puppy dog eyes begging him to stay.
He tilted his head at the brunette. "C'mon, don't look at me like that." He begged.
"It's not fare. I haven't taken a shower in two days." He reasoned while hugging the towel to his chest.
Tai shrugged and smiled innocently. "So what. I don't care."
Matt rolled his eyes. "Well put it this way then, I'm not kissing you again until I've used at least this much soap." He said squeezing his fore finger and thumb together.
Tai groaned in defeat. "Okay, don't be too long alright?"
"We'll see." He said teasingly before closing the door behind him.
****************
Tai wondered around the room hopelessly trying to find things to busy himself with while he waited for Matt to come back through the door.
He looked at his clock on the desk and realized it was close to midnight.
"Gees have I been asleep that long?" He asked himself in disbelief. Soon his mind wandered back to thoughts of Matt and how beautiful his torso felt under that shirt, and how he looked when he came to sit next to him before they kissed.
His heart started pounding and his stomach fluttered with a thousand butterflies. He couldn't wait to hold him tight in his arms again.
He flung himself back on the bed staring up with his hands behind his head and letting his mind fill with thousands of things that swam loose in his imagination.
He was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't hear Matt coming into the room.
He was surprised when he found himself pinned down between Matt's legs, who was wearing nothing but the towel and smiling down mischievously at him.
"Hey what gives?" He asked squirming underneath the blonde.
"Well, You took my shirt off and now it's my turn to take off yours."
Tai relaxed between his legs as if to say ' you have my permission.'
Matt pulled the shirt off and threw it to one side like it was part of some wrapping paper on a birthday gift.
He chuckled and smiled up at him. "That nightmare didn't seem to leave any lasting impressions."
Matt suddenly swung his body away and sat leaning against the wall. The impish glint in his eyes was replaced with fear and self-pity as he stared away, avoiding Tai's gaze.
Tai sat up wanting to bite his tongue for its stupidity.
"Uh...Matt I'm sorry. I didn't mean to-"
He cut him off before he could finish.
" I know...."
Tai stared into the back of Matt's head, hating himself even more and more for opening his cursed mouth, but at the same time wondered what he was thinking.
"I don't want to see you like this." Tai said eventually but so quiet that he wondered if Matt had heard him.
Matt forced a smile and turned back to him with eyes that shone with unshed tears. "I don't want to think about those things anymore."
"I'm sorry. I didn't know how much this was affecting you."
Matt blinked letting a tear escape. He wiped it away quickly and smiled down at Tai.
He held out his arms for Tai to hug him. Matt held on to him tighter than he ever had before.
"Hey, mind if I breathe?" Tai weased jokingly.
"Oh sorry." He loosened his hold and began kissing Tai's neck slowly from top to bottom before he could reply.
Tai moved away purposely putting distance between them.
"What's wrong?" He asked when Tai did.
"I don't want to do this.... not if it's just a way for you to escape. I don't want you to use me like a safety blanket. I want us to mean something to each other. I don't mean to sound selfish, now of all times."
"Tai, I would never use you as an emotional crutch and you do mean something to me.... more than you'll ever know."
Tai looked about guiltily feeling bad about what he'd said before.
"Tai, do you have any idea how long I've been in love with you?"
He blushed red. "No, how long?"
"Remember back in the digital world? Whenever it was mine and Gabumons turn to take watch? I'd be watching you sleep most of the time. I was always tormenting myself wandering if I'd ever be with you. I didn't tell gabumon or anyone else I did.... I was too scared they might tell you. I guess that's why I closed myself up to everyone........ I didn't want them to know."
"Now I feel bad." Tai said looking down.
"Why?"
"That was like," He paused to think. " Nearly four years ago. So all those years you've been beating yourself up about it and making yourself feel worse. All because of me."
"Well how were you to know? Besides it was my problem not yours."
"I still feel bad about it."
"See now I'm dumping all my problems on you and now we both feel bad."
Tai smiled at the blonde in the towel. "I guess we'll just have to do something about that then, hmmm?" He pulled Matt closer with his arms around his waist.
Matt shook his head smiling. "What am I going to do with you?"
"Any thing you want too." Tai laughed. "I think you've waited long enough."
At that he brought his lips to Matt's before lying down to gaze deeply into his deep blue pools of desire while Matt took his place beside him.
Tai's fingertips gently traced his spine up to his neck and felt the fine blonde hairs at the back of his neck. Matt moaned at the overwhelming touch of Tai's fingertips as they fluttered like butterflies over his skin.
He kissed Tai's neck softly sending new waves of pleasure coursing through Tai's body, while barely holding his naked shoulders. The warm heat radiated from their torso's making their closeness feel even more erotic.
Their legs entwined as they began to explore each other's bodies slowly and intimately.
*************
A warm summer breeze blew through the window pleasantly waking the brunette.
He looked down lovingly at Matt who seemed to be smiling in his sleep.
He wiped some blonde strands away from Matt's forehead with the back of his hand and kissed him softly not wanting to wake him.
He sat back thinking of the physically and emotionally overwhelming night before, it was certainly a night they'd both never forget.
Tai knew that in the future to come that they would only grow together more and more each day they faced.
Suddenly Tai's thoughts were torn aside at the sight of the door cracking open. He looked around hopelessly for some sort of escape, knowing that who ever came through that door would see them both like this.
Tai's mother popped her head around the corner, her eyes widening at what she saw.
They both looked like Egyptian pharaohs with the bed sheets only just covering certain parts of their bodies. But Tai was awake, looking as terrified as ever. Suddenly as if for no reason, a smile broke out over her face relaxing her features.
Tai wasn't sure what to think. He was caught between the idea's of bolting out the room with the sheets around him or shrinking down under the sheets and hope that she wasn't really there.
"Well," She broke the silence. "If it's not a girl than I'm glad it's Matt." She said as if to calm herself rather than Tai.
She smiled at the scene and then turned to Tai as though nothing was out of the ordinary. "Breakfast will be ready in an hour."
Tai sighed in relief. 'Wow I guess Kari was right.' He thought to himself.
But he wanted to be sure.
"Mom?"
She turned in the doorway just before leaving.
"Yes dear?"
"Are you okay with this?" He asked looking to Matt then back to her.
"Oh of course, why wouldn't I be?"
"And Dad?"
"Honey, some of our best friends are gay. Don't worry yourself over nothing." She paused before leaving for the kitchen. "All though I don't know how Kari might take it, she did try to talk to me once about the subject but I don't know."
"She already knows."
"Oh.... well I want you two up soon, I don't want to waste any of my cooking like I did last night. And don't tell me it was because of how bad my cooking is."
She said joking at how quickly he said anything about her cooking.
"It's not my fault we missed dinner, we were just so tired that we slept right through." He said in their defense.
She smiled, laughed a little and left to start the breakfast.
'Man I'm lucky to have parent's like these.' He thought to himself while watching Matt breathe.
'Guess everything's gonna be smooth sailing from now on.'
