Bite me....(chapter 7)
Two days had passed. The wound on Tai's arm looked much better. It had stopped bleeding, and the skin around it didn't look red anymore.
Tai still had a slight fever, but it wasn't as high as it was two days ago. But he was still unconscious, and that was what concerned Joe a little...But he didn't tell the others.
Matt never left Tai's side. He made sure Tai was comfortable, and gave him his medicine. The others had asked if they should take over for a while, but he refused to leave Tai's side.
It was evening, and they had just eaten dinner. Kari and TK had went to their sleeping bags, and Mimi, Izzy, Sora and Joe where sitting by the fire, talking quietly.
Matt was giving Tai his medicine, and was talking quietly to him. "Come on Taichi...You're doing much better now.....why won't you wake up?"
But Tai didn't move. Matt sighted, and leaned against the cave wall, while taking Tai's hand in his. After a while, he fell in a light sleep, and the others also went to bed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Matt awoke a few hours later. He hadn't realised he had fallen asleep... He looked at Tai, to make sure he was alright.
He saw that Tai was shivering slightly, so Matt took his sleeping bag, and lay it over Tai...but the shivering didn't stop.
Suddenly, Tai let out a long and pained moan, and he started to shake violently, like he was having some sort of seizure.
Matt started to panic. He wanted to call for Joe, but the fear had squeezed his throat shut.
So he crawled to Tai, and took him in his arms. He almost couldn't hold him, because Tai was shaking hard, but after a few try's he had a firm grip.
He began to whisper words in Tai's ear, but it didn't work...after a few minutes, Tai began to hyperventilate....he was gasping to get the air in his lungs.
Matt was really panicking now. He felt the tears pricking in his eyes, but he forced them back.
"Taichi..." he whispered, "please...calm down..." Tai slowly stopped gasping, but his breathing was very slow and shallow now, and he continued with shaking.
"Taichi, please...you can't leave me now..." Matt whispered. He couldn't stop the tears anymore, and they where streaming down his face now.
"Taichi..." he chocked back a sob, "I love you...please don't leave me..." He buried his face on Tai's shoulder, and gripped Tai tighter.
Suddenly, Tai's shivering subsided, and soon stopped. Matt looked up, and almost let go of Tai...Two chocolate coloured orbs where staring at him.
"Tai?" Matt chocked out. "yama...why are you crying?" Tai whispered. Matt noticed that Tai's breathing was almost normal again.
Matt blinked a few times, to make sure he wasn't imagining things, but Tai was really awake... He brushed some hairs out of Tai's face, and a faint smile crept on his face.
"You're awake..." he whispered. He felt how the tears where streaming over his face again, but this time, it where tears of happiness.
"Yama...." Tai whispered again. He sounded very weak. "Why are you crying?" Matt looked at Tai, and said: "I'm crying, because I'm glad that you're awake. I was so worried..."
"Worried?" Tai whispered, surprised.
"Yeah...we could have lost you Taichi...You stopped breathing! But Joe saved you. You've been unconscious for almost four days Tai..." Matt said. "And all I could think about was, what if we lost you, if I lost you....I've never even told you I liked you..."
"You like me? I thought you hated me..." Tai whispered.
"NO!" Matt almost yelled. Tai looked at him with big surprised eyes. "No", Matt continued softer, "I could never hate you...I thought you hated me..."
"Never!" Tai said, and he sounded very strong al of a sudden. But it was gone just as quick. Matt looked at Tai again....He didn't hate him! He felt butterflies in his stomach....
Some stubborn hairs fell back in Tai's face, and Matt reached to brush them away...He loved Tai's thick brown hair...
He saw how a faint blush appeared on Tai's cheeks. It made him look so cute... Before Matt knew what he was doing, he gave Tai a kiss on his forehead.
Tai's eyes became very big, and he stared at Matt in confusion. When Matt realised what he had done, his eyes went very wide, and he stared at Tai in horror....
"Oh shit...sorry....I didn't mean.." Matt stammered, but before he could say more, Tai whispered: "Yama...why did you kiss me?"
Matt looked in Tai's big brown eyes, and he drowned in them.....he was trapped. He couldn't lie.... " I...I love you Tai" He whispered, and he looked away.
'Taichi surly will hate me now' he thought, and he whispered, barely audible "I'm sorry..."
"Sorry for what?" He heard Tai whisper. Surprised, he looked back at Tai, and saw that he was smiling. "Yama..." He whispered, "I love you too...."
"You what!?" Matt chocked out. Tai grinned, and whispered "I said, I love you too.."
Matt looked at Tai, and brushed his hand over his cheek. "God, you are so beautiful..." He whispered. Tai blushed again, and whispered: "You are too...."
Matt leaned closer, and he could feel Tai's hot breath on his face. Then, he closed the gab, and pressed his lips on Tai's. Tai tasted sweet...He felt Tai's soft lips under his, and it felt like he was flying...
After a while, they had to part, because they needed oxygen. "Wow..." Matt murmured, and he looked at Tai. Tai's eyes where half lidded, and he was breathing hard...
"Taichi, are you alright?" Matt asked slightly panicked. Tai looked at Matt, and smiled. "Yeah...just tired" Matt sighted in relieve, also smiled.
"Well, let's get some sleep then." He took his sleeping bag, and wrapped it around them. They snuggled closer together, and soon they where both asleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Next morning, Joe came to check on Tai. "So, how's Taichi doing?"
"I'm doing fine, thank you." Tai said with a soft voice. Joe, who was holding his bag, let it drop with a yelp of surprise. Tai and Matt snickered.
Joe looked at Tai with big, surprised eyes, but then a big smile appeared on his face. "Joe? What's the matter?"
The others had heard Joe's yelp, and came to check. They saw that Joe was grinning like an idiot, and suddenly they heard a soft voice say: "He guy's, what's up?"
They spun around, and Kari shouted: "Tai! You're awake!" She ran to him, and he took her in a big hug. "He sis..." he whispered.
"Oh Tai.....I was so scared..." She whispered, and Tai hugged her closer. Kari looked up to see Tai's face, but he had it buried in her neck.
Suddenly she felt him shake slightly. "Tai?" she asked softly, "are you crying?"
Tai slowly lifted his head, and she could see the tears streaming down his face. "I'm sorry..." he whispered.
"What for?" Kari asked, surprised. "For making you worried... I should have let Joe take a look at the bite..."
"Tai...you couldn't know that you'd become this ill..."
"But..." Kari laid her finger over his mouth to silence him. "No buts. I'm glad you're still alive..."
A tear slid down Tai's face, and he chocked back a sob. He felt how Matt grabbed him tighter, and laid his head in his neck.
"Sssst...Tai, it's alright..." he whispered in his ear. Kari let go of Tai, and Tai turned to burry his face on Matt's shoulder. Matt took him in a bear hug, and rocked him gently, while whispering soothing words in his ear.
The others where silently watching, not daring to disturb....
After a while, Tai calmed down, and looked up at Matt. "Thanks Yama.." he whispered.
"Anything for you, love...." When Matt realised what he had said, his eyes widened, but when he heard Tai giggle, he glared at him.
"What's so funny?"
"You." Tai responded, and he gave Matt a kiss on his nose. "You're cute when you're angry..." Matt glared at Tai again, but lifted his head when he heard a squeal.
It was Mimi. "They are so cute together!!" she squealed. The others where also smiling, and they al looked relieved that Tai was awake, and smiling again.
"Finally..." Sora mumbled, and winked at them. Then she said: "I think we should leave Taichi and Yamato alone now....Taichi's still weak, and needs a lot of rest...."
The others agreed, and went outside. Matt and Tai grinned at Sora. She grinned back, and winked at them again. Then she went outside also.
Tai and Matt snuggled closer together, and Matt asked: "How are you feeling?"
"Never felt better." Tai replied. Matt snorted. "Yeah, right..."
Tai grinned. "Bite me..."
Matt gladly applied.....
