Huh, I had abandoned this fic since it only had two reviews, but I've gotten a few more (thanx) so I'll press on with chapter 4.

Chapter IV - Dreams Come True

~~~ Golden Dragon Bar 8:45 ~~~

Davis glanced over at the clock hanging behind the bar, Matt had been supposed to meet him here quarter of an hour ago, but there was still no sign of him. Davis wasn't sure why he had suggested meeting here, a bar usually used only for meeting people before going somewhere more lively. Tonight certainly wasn't lively though, the entire population of the bar consisted of the two staff who appeared to be half asleep and a few old men in the corner who appeared to be engrossed in some sort of game. Still at least if Matt did deiced to murder him there were a few witnesses, true half the witnesses needed glasses to see themselves and the other two certainly weren't getting paid enough to care, but it might make Matt think twice.

Davis was thinking twice, thrice and any other amount of rethinks, this was looking like a worse plan every moment the whole telling Matt how he felt part was bad enough, and the waiting was compounding matters making every minute feel like a lifetime. There was also the minor issue of Davis and TK 'getting it on' the night before but that was something that Davis thought Matt certainly didn't need to know about.

Maybe he wouldn't even bother showing up, it wasn't as if he had sold the idea as such.

'umm do you wanna ya know go for a drink' wasn't really the way you should ask someone to come anywhere to declare your undying love for them. Maybe that was a little extreme, just coming out and saying it was a little too, Taichi for Davis. Yeah the older boy had been his idol but he had just about grown out of the whole acting without thinking stage. Apart from last night of course.

Seventeen minutes and twenty-one seconds later than planned Yamato Ishida walked into the bar, looking as fantastic as ever.

"Hey sorry I'm late"

"Oh… it's… it's fine"

"So what did you want to talk about?"

"…umm…stuff… do you want a drink?"

"Sure"

Okay Davis told himself, this wasn't going as bad as it could, well sort of. After all Matt had turned up which was a little more than he had been expecting but he wasn't going to get any further than he already was by stuttering and stumbling his way through the conversation. after buying the drinks and pretty much wiping out his entire finances for the week Davis and Matt found a quiet corner of the bar to sit in.

"So Davis, I was a little surprised to hear from you"

"Yeah I just thought we hadn't seen each other for a while you know"

His voice trailed off, this was much tougher than he had anticipated and that in itself had been hard enough. Maybe he should just give this up as a really bad job and forget about it. No that wasn't a great idea either, he'd just be back to sitting around feeling sorry for himself, he was conscious of the fact that Matt's interest in sitting in total silence was starting to wear thin. Davis decided to take action, sort of action anyway.

"So how have you been?"

A shrug of the shoulders and then "Fine"

"Oh, what about… umm your love life?"

Another shrug but was it just his imagination that this one was much less casual, almost sad… Could he really tell that from just a shoulder movement, probably not.

"Me and Sora split up"

"Oh… I'm sorry"

"It's for the best I suppose"

"… What's she doing now then? Didn't you two live together or something"

Matt smiled in a way that made Davis feel a little uncomfortable then said simply "Mimi"

"I'm sorry, what?"

"You asked what she's doing, the answer is Mimi"

Davis wasn't sure whether he should laugh out load or feel totally shocked, so settled for a mixture of both. Matt just smiled at him.

"Yeah that's how I felt too"

Trying desperately to rally himself and get the plan for the evening something like back on track.

"So you're single then?"

A pause and then "…Yeah"

"Sorry bad subject huh?"

"Something like that"

Another awkward silence only this time more down to Matt's part than Davis' choice. Still doubt was starting to creep into his mind, although TK had told him to go for it he was still worried. Worst case scenario was Matt never speaking to him again, which would be so much worse than right now of course. Summoning up his courage once again Davis spoke.

"So do you have your eyes on anyone?"

"…Not really"

"Oh"

"What's up Davis, you look disappointed"

"…Umm…Yeah…Whatever"

"Hey that's my line"

Davis laughed but then noticed Matt was staring at him with a grin usually associated with sharks and used car salesmen. It was making Davis feel really uncomfortable, as though Matt was staring into his soul.

"What? What's up?"

"You want me don't you Davis"

"I…Umm…Ah… that's…"

His voice trailed off, there wasn't any denying it. Matt had just come right out and asked him, cutting through his never that impressive defenses with ease. Matt had by now stalked round the table and was crouched by Davis' side, he could feel Matt's breath on his neck. Part of him wanted to get up and run from here as fast as he could but the other part wanted this so much that he wanted to scream out loud that Matt was right. He settled for a compromise of barley whispering his answer.

"…yes"

With that Matt pulled him closer and kissed him on the cheek, Davis turned to face him, locking eyes again and again feeling slightly uncomfortable. He wasn't all that sure why he was so scared or why Matt made him feel like this, he wanted this but it was still a terrifying feeling none the less.

"…Matt"

"Do you really want this Dai?"

"Yes"

"Good, because so do I"

"Really? Why would you want me?"

Another shark grin "You still haven't figured that out yet?"

Davis shook his head, he had absolutely no idea what Matt would see in him. This was Yamato Ishida who could have anyone he wanted, what would he see in Davis?

"That's cute Dai, you really have no idea"

"No, I don't"

"You will"

And with that Matt kissed him again, this time though it was not the little peck on the cheek from last time it was passionate and fiery as though Matt had been waiting for this for as long as Davis had. It felt strange at first but as he got used to the sensation of Matt's tongue in his mouth Davis was overcome with a feeling of absolute contentment. Totally ignoring the dirty look the two old men gave them Davis' felt for the first time in years that perhaps things really did work out sometimes.

As Taichi Kamyia walked through the arrival lounge and began the long task of finding his luggage he smiled to himself, it sure felt good to be home.
