Chapter Four
A deal is laid down
DISCLAIMER:I don't own Matt or Tai or Izzy and Sora who are briefly mentioned ii wish I owned Tai and Matt though
AUTHOR NOTE:Here we go chapter four is written and I kinda like it, it's done in Matt's view and I'm beginning to add some Taito action in, not much but a small bit the next chapter belongs to Joe because I've neglected old reliable than it will be Tai I think I'm not too sure on that yet, I'd rather get the next chapter sorted. Anyway hope you enjoy it and sorry that it is only short but there is only so much you can write after all.
Yamato Ishida sighed as he leaned against the wall, a look of boredom on his face. He resisted the urge to glance at his watch for the 15th time and instead began tapping his foot to a rhythm that only he could here. His arms were already crossed.
"Where is he?" he muttered, it was the same all the time Tai was never early for anything or even on time, not even meeting Matt, as he liked to call himself, for lunch could motivate him into making an effort and as usual Matt was the one looking stupid. He frowned to himself. Sometimes Tai made him so angry that he felt he was gonna explode. What made it worse was the fact that Matt was never late. It's a well known fact to everyone that if you always are early or on time than you can't stand people being late, something that Matt suffered from.
"Matt" he looked up from gazing at the floor at the familiar sounding voice calling his name and pushed himself off the wall to see wild brown hair sticking up through the crowd. He gave a grin. Tai's unique hairstyle certainly made people notice him, though Matt knew from experience that it was only because Tai didn't style it that it looked that way, when Matt asked him once why he didn't Tai had shrugged his shoulders and laughed saying that he had more important things to worry about and he didn't care how he look, Matt was the pretty one out of them anyway so he needed to look his best not him.
Matt frowned again that comment had firstly confused the hell out of him: Did Tai think that he was pretty or something? And secondly: offended the hell out of him to suggest to a guy that his looks were pretty. Pretty was a word used to refer to females. People thought Sora was pretty and people commented on how pretty Mimi was everywhere she went. So he had been offended by it though Tai had laughed it off and told him not to be offended.
Matt hadn't been. There was something in Tai's personality that made it almost impossible for Matt to say no to, or when he turned those huge brown eyes on him with their puppy dog friendliness than he would always feel himself melt and give in. maybe that was why they were best friends, because both had an inability to say no to each other. Now Matt smiled as Tai ran up, Izzy and Sora trailing behind him
"Hey what took you so long Tai?" he asked as Tai leaned over to catch his breath he looked up at Matt with a flushed face and grinned his killer smile that made girls go weak, at him. A small feeling of butterflies entered his stomach at that smile but he ignored it as he waited for an answer
"Got done for talking again" Matt groaned and hit his head
"Doesn't surprise me Tai, you can never be quiet can you?" Tai looked hurt and insulted by the remark
"Can to" Tai replied back standing to his full height, though Matt still looked down on him
"Prove it then" Matt challenged. Tai's eyes flashed with life as he nodded
"You're on Yamato and you're gonna lose?" Matt grinned
"I think not Taichi" came the cocky reply
"What's the deal then?" Tai questioned
"You can't speak to anyone for the rest of the day unless it's your mum and dad or a teacher, you can't speak to Kari or anyone" Matt grinned sweetly at him "And you certainly can't speak to me Tai" Tai shrugged
"Fine I choose the prize though ok?" Matt looked thoughtful then nodded
"That's fair I guess what it gonna be?" he questioned. Tai stared thoughtfully at him for a long time as they were getting their lunch but it wasn't until they were sitting together that the answer hit him. He looked up at Matt
"Got it" he announced loudly, they all looked up in a puzzled look though Matt's finished long before the others, Tai turned to Matt
"If I win and I don't talk to anyone after this moment than you have to take me out for an expensive meal" Matt's eyebrow rose
"And if I win?" he questioned, Tai grinned at him
"Then I have to do exactly the same deal?" Tai held his hand out to him and waited, Matt searched his face for a second then grinned taking the rougher smaller hand in his longer smoother hand and shook it firmly
"Fine you're on Tai, no talking from" he grinned "NOW" he raised his voice for the last bit and they settled down. Tai lasted with difficulty till the end of lunch then the bell rang and they went to their lesson, just as the bell run, Matt leaned over Tai's shoulder bringing Tai to his limit and whispered in his ear, his blond hair tickling Tai's cheek "You don't stand a chance Tai" he whispered "Oh and remember I like Mexican and Italian best" he leaned back and took in startled brown eyes and winked walking into the classroom leaving Tai to follow a small grin on his face.
There you go as I said it's short but it begins the Taito plotline properly. Joe's chapter will begin the Jyoshiro one so look out for them, I finally have my plan for this fic ready. Please review but no flames thank you, I'll see about chapter 5 as soon as I can.
