Warnings: Shounen-ai (GAY PEOPLE) and prostitution (SEX in exchange for MONEY). Sorry, one of my reviews made me realise that I wasn't very clear, you were very nice, and I'm glad you didn't have a problem with it, but someone else might. And language... Bad language: Naughty Yamato.
Summary: Sort of AU, I guess. Matt's famous and lives in New York, Tai is a prostitute who is also living in New York. It's been 5 years since Matt left Japan and even longer since he and Tai were close. Taito.
"So that's the whole story?" Sedra asked her brown-green eyes filled with curiosity and a strange muted annoyance, "You lusted after him, wanted to get with him but you never did anything with him?"
"He was my best friend!" Tai defended.
"Lee-chan's my best friend, that's never stopped me from making a move on her. Listen Ty, if you want someone that much you've got to go out there and grab em by the balls. Not literally of course, a lot of guys get kinda irritated if you grab their balls."
Tai blushed, "Yeah, but..."
Sedra sighed exasperatedly, "You sound like a virgin, geez, you're hot Ty, you've got the looks, you've got the bloody experience, for gods sakes just tell him you want him, it's not that hard, 'Matt I've wanted to fuck you since we were 13 and we had that bath together'."
"It's not that easy Sed. He hired a whore because he didn't want a relationship."
"You're already in a relationship with him, friendship is a relationship, and now you've had sex, so it's too late for him to back out now. March back over there, grab his head, and snog his face off." She smiled at him, "And make sure you video tape it for me." She added licentiously.
Tai smiled back weakly, her advice wasn't perfect, but it made him feel better, and there was merit to a lot of what she was saying, "Thanks Sed."
The girl grinned, "Anytime."
There was a comfortable silence,
"You know what? You should get a job here." Sedra decided with a grin.
"Here? Me?"
"Why not? I reckon it'd be fun to work with you, besides, you have great people skills, and being an escort probably wouldn't work if you decided you wanted to be with Matt for good."
"I guess not," Tai replied thoughtfully, "I'll think about it. But I'll definitely be back for coffee sometime."
The two stood up and Taichi impulsively hugged the slender waitress. It was strange, the better he got to know her, the more she reminded him of his very impure younger sister. There were differences between the two of course, but there were also similarities that brought his imouto-chan to mind.
"I'll be seeing you around then Ty," Sedra grinned as she pulled away, "I'd better go take my orders."
~~~
Lee sighed in defeat, "Just... court him or something. I don't know. Why the hell are you asking *me* for relationship advice?"
"Yeah... but how do you court a guy? I mean, yeah, I've slept with guys, but a relationship - courting - that isn't just some roll in the hay! And what if he was just fucking me cos I gave him money, I mean the Tai I knew wouldn't do that, but the Tai I knew was almost as chaste as Sora!"
Lee grunted in annoyance, "Perhaps you should ask him out. Get to know him. You do not seem to know him at all."
Matt glared at her, "Oh yeah, I have such a supportive cousin."
Lee opened her mouth as if she was about to give a sharp retort, but before she could say anything a loud, very annoying exclamation cut her off.
"Lee-ee-chan!"
Matt winced, recognising both the voice and the hyperactive brunette it belonged to from Lee's descriptions in her letters. A petite, yet well formed girl bounded toward them, her waitress outfit, despite being the same make and style as his cousins, seemed much shorter and more form- fitting.
She stopped as she noticed him, her huge, normally seductive, brown-green eyes blinking up at him innocently, "Lee-chan, is this your *boy*friend?"
"I'm guessing this is your stalker." Matt said dryly.
"Stalker?" The girl blinked, even more innocently then before, "No! I was just admiring her from a safe distance. And the whole tyre-slashing thing was just a big misunderstanding. It never would have happened if she hadn't declined my offer of a ride to work."
Matt tried to disguise his snort of laughter as a cough, but Lee glared at him, and the brunette he'd identified as Sedra grinned triumphantly.
Lee tore her eyes away, and curling her lip introduced the two, "Matt, this is the 'friend' I told you about, Sedra." Sedra's eyes softened and she glomped onto Lee's arm.
"Oh, you're so sweet. I love you too!"
Lee tried to shake her off, and when her action failed she simply ignored the brunettes death grip.
"Sedra, this is my cousin Matt."
Sedra smiled coyly, "He's nearly as pretty as you Lee-chan. D'you two want to have a threesome with me? I could tape it! Make a documentary!" Her eyes went starry, as she thought about her long-time dream, "I'd call it... 'Kissing Cousins' and I'd dedicate it to Elvis."
Matt edged away from the girl, caught between being flattered and being scared out of his mind. He'd met some overenthusiastic fans of both genders, but Lee's stalker definitely took the cake for being the freakiest.
"Uh, you know, I really should go..."
Sedra blinked mournfully, "Oh. Wait! I have a business card!" She reached into her top, pulling a card out from between her breasts with a flourish, "If you ever want a job Matt - The Fluffy Duck would love to have you. Even if you just want to cum as a customer. We want to see you."
Matt accepted the business card without even giving it a perfunctory glance, he had a well-paying job, but it would be rude not to take it. He slipped the card into his pocket and turned to walk out of the café.
~~~
Tai gathered his courage and knocked on the door of the apartment - Sedra was right, he *did* have the looks, he *did* have the experience, and he and Matt already had a 'relationship' albeit a strange one.
The door swung open to reveal a black-haired boy wearing a pair of boxers and a bath robe, "Yes?"
Tai shuffled nervously, "Is... Matt here? I'm... ah... a friend."
The boys eyes narrowed, "A friend? How do you know him?"
Tai flushed, "We were best friends growing up - in Odaiba."
The boys green eyes lit up, "Oh, come in. I was worried you might be a crazed fan or a dissatisfied lover or something."
Tai shook his head, "No, just a very old friend."
"And a very recent lover," A voice added levelly from the doorway.
Tai spun, feeling his heart leap in his chest, "I came to... apologise Matt. My actions were uncalled for, despite my shock."
Tai mentally cursed himself - that hadn't been what he'd wanted to say.
"What did you really come back for?" Matt asked, forcing his voice to hold steady.
"You really do know me too well," Tai smiled, "I'm not really sure how to put this. How exactly does one go about asking their best friend on a date after said friend has slept with them in exchange for money?"
Matt blinked at him in surprise, "Are... are you asking me out Tai?"
"Do you want me to be?" Tai countered nervously.
"Yeah, yeah I do."
~~~
Takeru leaned over to pick up the shrilling telephone, pulling the handset under his heavy quilt, "Life, death or get the fuck off my phone," He croaked.
"Nice way to greet your cousin. Did your foul-mouthed brother teach you that?"
Takeru winced, "Too early to be speaking English... Lee?"
"My, my, sharp in the morning aren't we?"
"Erk, you just interrupted my sleep, and let's just say I haven't been getting much of that."
There was a snicker, "I take it you've solved the 'Iori' problem?"
Takeru's lips twitched into a smile, and he peered out from under the blankets, "You could say that," He reached out and stroked the hair of the brunette sleeping beside him.
"Is he in bed with you?" Lee asked incredulously.
"...No!" Takeru lied.
"You're lying!" She shrieked triumphantly.
Takeru sniffed, "Are you still in love with the prostitute?"
"No. And she's not a prostitute - she's a waitress."
"And who's lying now?" Takeru crowed.
Iori sat up in bed, yawning and gave the phone a curious look.
When Takeru didn't hang up immediately he grabbed the phone, "You have 5 minutes before I start fucking Takeru whether you've hung up or not."
"Iori!" Takeru screeched.
"Fiesty things come in little packages," Lee mocked.
"And you'd know wouldn't you? Didn't you describe Sedra as petite?"
"Sedra?" Iori questioned, "Isn't that the whore your cousin wants to screw?"
"You told him? And she's NOT a whore!"
"Of course - to both," There was a muffled sound as if the phone had been covered, "Iori - stop that!"
Lee snorted, "I can hear you!"
"What? We're not doing anything."
"Of course not," She agreed.
"But we will be, so call back later," She heard Iori call in the background.
"Fine, I can take a hint. I just called to tell you that your brother's fallen in love with a male hooker."
She hung up the phone with a satisfied smirk. Her work was done.
Exactly 8.2 seconds later the phone began to ring,
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?!?"
"I thought you were busy?" She asked mock-innocently, "I'd *hate* to interrupt something as important as underage sex."
"We're not underage!" Takeru defended.
"You were when you screwed Kari 5 years ago and called her Iori."
"That's what you were fighting about?" Iori screeched.
There was a long pause, "...Takeru, am I on speaker phone?"
"...No?"
"Liar. I should hang up now."
"Wait! Explain the Matt comment first."
Lee smiled evilly, "Your brother is in love with a male whore. In fact," She glanced at her watch, "I'm willing to bet they're going at it right now. You do have his number, right?"
"...Yeah."
She hung up the phone without bothering to say goodbye.
~~~
Matt smiled as Tai straddled his chest, placing affectionate kisses everywhere he could reach, his gentle brown eyes filled with something akin to love.
"Why didn't we ever do this back in Odaiba?" Tai whispered jokingly.
Matt shrugged, "You tell me Taichi."
Tai smiled, claiming the blonds lips in a single swift movement, "Mmmkay. God you're beautiful Yama."
Matt laughed, pushing Tai off of his chest, and let his mouth trace a trail of licks and nips down the other boys neck, pausing to kiss the other boys collarbone before continuing to trace his path to Tai's bellybutton, flicking his tongue in and out mischievously.
"Tease!" Tai groaned in mock annoyance.
"Should I stop?" Matt asked innocently.
Tai glared, "You wouldn't!"
Matt smiled, and lowered his head to kiss his lovers thighs before taking the brunette's erection into his mouth.
Tai threw back his head and moaned, thanking whichever deity passed for Kami in America that Matt's band mates had left and wouldn't hear them having sex.
Matt swallowed taking the obstruction in his mouth deeper, his blue eyes glowing with lust.
Tai threaded his fingers through Matt's hair and would have done more had he not been interrupted by the shrill buzzing of a telephone.
He stared at Matt. Matt stared back at him.
Tai picked up the reciever hesitantly as Matt went back to what he was doing, "Hel-lo?"
"Are you having sex Yamato?"
"What?!?" Tai spluttered.
"You are! You're having sex with a dirty man-whore aren't you? Yama you bad boy!"
Tai stiffened, "This is the man-whore."
There was a long pause, "...Oops?"
Yamato gave one last talented swirl and then swallowed again, "Yama..." Tai choked out into the receiver.
Matt pulled away, licking his lips with a grin, and plucked the phone out of Tai's nerveless fingers, "I'm having sex here. Call back later."
"It's true!" Takeru crowed, "You are in love with a prostitute."
"Takeru?" Matt choked out in horrified disbelief.
"Takeru?" Tai echoed.
"I can't believe you hired a prostitute Matt."
"He really hired a prostitute?" An interested voice questioned in the background.
"Apparently. Hmph. What is it with you Ishida's and whores? You and Lee suck. At least I can get my sex for free."
"Mmm, I'll say Take-chan."
"...Iori! I'm on the ph... oh god."
"Iori? Takeru what the hell is Iori doing to you?"
"Iori's with Takeru?" Tai asked, "Hey! You two are illegal!"
Takeru lost his temper, "We're fucking adults, we're legal!"
"Mmm... not when we did it on the top of the radio tower babe," Iori corrected.
"You did what?!?" Matt screeched.
The line clicked as Takeru hurriedly hung up the phone.
To Be Continued.
Authors Notes: The joys of fanfic writing when drunk, is that a lot of fucked up stuff takes place and the spelling is all freaky cos the keys keep moving around.
*Grins* Okay, I started writing this drunk, and finished it running on zero sleep, after sitting an aptitude test for the Australian Defence Force, having eaten a total of 6 pieces of pizza and a banana split in 3 days.
Hopefully that explains the weirdness, next chapter has more of everything that was so much fun in this chapter. I just realised I have no straight couples in this. I don't have a clue why. Anyway, 'Family Problems' will be ruining our two favourite porn-stars... I mean characters... lives next chapter. *grins*
