"You wanna talk now?" Matt said a look of surprise covering his face as a green light streaked across his blond hair. Tai gave a firm nod taking his courage firmly in his grasp
"Yeah Matt I wanna talk now" Matt bit his lip but nodded slowly
"Alright Tai we'll talk" he looked around him at the deserted ice skating rink "Should we skate round and talk or head over there?" he pointed to the right where there was a cluster of seats. Tai frowned thoughtfully
"No we'll skate for a bit then we can sit down later" Matt nodded
"Might as well make the most of it. The skating I mean," he said, Tai nodded and the two of them slowly began skating side by side "So what's wrong Tai?" Matt asked.
"Well I firstly want to say sorry Matt" Matt looked at him but remained silent as the other boy carried on speaking "I was such a jackass to you, the way I treated you. You're my best friend, except for Sora you were my first best friend and yet I turn round and treat you like that" Tai looked down at this point and Matt spoke
"Stop being so hard on yourself Tai" he said "it's not as if you make a habit of it. If anything I'm sorry that I over reacted so much it's just that I never expected it from you and it surprised me and hurt me slightly" Tai shook his head
"See Matt it was never my intention to hurt you" Matt frowned at him
"What exactly was your intention Tai?" he questioned "Why did you do it?" Tai hesitated
"It's complicated and long" he said, Matt shrugged
"We've plenty of time for you to tell me Tai" he commented lightly. Tai gave a slight smile
"I guess so," he said before he skated off leaving Matt to look after him with an expression of concern though he said nothing. Tai would tell him when the time was right, until then Matt was content to skate himself into fatigue.
Tai skated on unaware of Matt's calm thoughts and allowed his chaotic thoughts to come forth. How could he tell Matt the real reason for it? Turn round and say to his face that he did because he fancied the pants off of him and that he wanted to protect him from any danger including himself. Somehow he didn't think that Matt would react to well to that, he'd either freak out, punch Tai and never speak to him again or else he would laugh hysterically believing Tai was trying to be funny, clap him on the back and tell him to be serious and tell him what was really wrong with him. Tai didn't know which would be worse. For him.
"You have to tell him" he whispered to himself "He's your best friend. He'd never turn on you" he gave a glance at the boy who seemed engrossed in his thoughts. Really Matt was just waiting for Tai to hurry up and tell him what was bugging him, it was beginning to dampen the night and Matt didn't want that to happen since it had been such a blast, showing him the true extent of his friendship with Tai. Tai sighed and skated over slowly, Matt looked up as he approached
"Feel better?" he asked
"Kinda" Tai replied "Do you wanna go and sit there now?" he pointed to the seats Matt had pointed out to them earlier, Matt nodded his head and the two of them made their way over to the seat, where they sat down. Matt looked across the ice at the coloured light dancing and smiled slightly aware of the fact that Tai was watching him with a sad look on his face
"You gonna talk?" he asked suddenly and Tai jumped taking out of his staring. He blinked rapidly and leaned forward resting his elbows on his thighs and took a deep shuddering breath "Come on Tai it can't be that serious I mean you haven't robbed a bank or anything have you?" he questioned teasingly. Tai shook his head an unwilling smile coming to his lips
"Naw not today" he replied back. Matt grinned
"Come on dude tell Uncle Yamato all about what's troubling you, he might be able to help" Tai looked back at the smiling caring face turned to him fully and taking a deep breath he took the one piece of advice everyone had gave him and spoke quietly and in a rush
"IreallylikeyouMatt" Matt frowned at that and spoke
"Err do you mind repeating that again Tai I actually don't understand gibberish, I know I'm meant to be good at languages but that one was always slightly beyond me" Tai swallowed deeply and spoke again slowly this time, trying to ignore the burning sensation in his cheeks
"I really like you Matt" he repeated Matt smiled at him again looking slightly confused
"I like you too Tai, that is why we're best friends if we didn't like each other than we would be in a slight bit of trouble wouldn't we?" he question. Tai shook his head violently allowing his slightly tamed hair to go back to it usual wild state
"No Matt you're not understanding me I like you. As in I really like you" there was a moment silence when Matt stared in shock at Tai who looked miserably down at the floor "I know you're probably disgusted with me and all but I still want to be friends. I had to tell you though it was eating me up inside and what is so funny?" he said since Matt had began to chuckle to himself, he looked up into Tai's annoyed face
"Is that all?" he said with a laugh "I thought it was something serious" Tai stared gobsmacked at him and pinched himself to see if he was dreaming
"You aren't mad?" he said startled, Matt shook his head
"Course not" he looked at Tai curiously "Don't you know Tai?" he asked suddenly
"Know what" a small smiled came over Matt's face as he watched is friends face closely
"That I'm gay Tai"
