Hi, I just wanted to thank everyone for the wonderful reviews, and here's the next chapter as promised. I also wanna thank my friends for their encouragement, and Daniel for being the best.

Tk snuggled up next to Ken on the couch, as they watched tv. They decided they had enough fun at the arcade for one day, and had gone back to Ken's place to relax for the day. Ken sat there with Tk's head on his chest stroking the blonde's hair looking down at him smiling. Tk looked up at Ken and starred into his eyes, "I love you" he said as he shifted up and kissed Ken on the lips.
Ken gladly accepted the kiss and returned it quite well, he looked down at his boyfriend as they broke the kiss and replied "I love you too." Tk snuggled up even closer into Ken and let out a sigh. "What's wrong love?" Ken asked.
"Just tired I guess, and my mind keeps wandering" came the reply.
"What are you thinking about?" Ken asked as he continued stroking his love's hair.
"I dunno" Tk replied, "actually, I keep thinking about Tai, he seems so out of it lately, I'm a bit worried. But also, it bugs me that he didn't even seem to care when he found out we were dating today, I expected him to flip or something, but he took it really well. You don't suppose he's gay too, do you?" Tk asked as he sat up a little to look at Ken.
"No clue, he might be, I haven't known him as long as you have, but I get the feeling he could be, especially the way he acts around your brother." Ken replied.
"You noticed that too huh? I thought it was just me. When we were younger, they were always fighting, it got really bad at times, but then they both came around finally, and now they're really good friends, sometimes it seems like they're almost a couple." Tk said as he fidgeted in Ken's arms a little. "I'm not sure about Matt though, I mean he knows I'm gay and is totally supportive, but he doesn't give me any hints that he might be too. I think he's considered it from time to time, but he's always so indecisive, so I guess he just figures he's not or something, still, I have noticed him check out Tai on more than one occasion."
Ken wrapped his arms around Tk and smiled, "would you want him to be with Tai if he was?" Ken asked.
Tk sat in silence for a minute before answering, "yes, I would, Tai has always protected me, it's as if he were another brother to me, and I would absolutely love for the two of them to be together. They already care so much about each other, think they'd be really happy together." Tk wrapped his arms around the back of Ken's neck and pulled him down into a kiss. "Now enough about those two, how about us? Here we are, alone in your place for the next couple of hours, whatever shall we do?" Tk said with a diabolical smile on his face.
Ken raised an eyebrow at the blonde, "what did you have in mind?" Ken asked as he fidgeted a little. Tk gave an evil grin, and that was all that Ken needed before he moved off Tk. He scooped the blonde boy in his arms, and made for his room.
Tai had run as fast as he could from Matt's place, he stopped now in the park between their places and panted heavily. Still partially sobbing, he made his way over to his favorite spot under a tree and tried to calm himself down. "Get a grip Tai, it hasn't even been a day, how can you expect him to give you an answer" Tai said to himself aloud and began to take deep breaths to calm himself. But what if he doesn't like me like that? Tai paused for a moment, then remembered what Matt had said last night, "Tai, we have been friends for far to long for anything to drive a wedge between us, no matter what it is, I'll understand, and I promise you I won't think any different of you." A weak smile crossed Tai's face and he softly chuckled, "Matt's right" Tai said softly, "Even if he doesn't return my feelings, he's still my closest friend, and I know no matter what, he'll stand by me." Tai stood up and looked to where he had just run from, Matt, I love you, no matter what your decision, just having you close to me is all I need. With that, Tai started walking home.
A short while later Kari heard the door open and saw her brother come back inside. "Hi" Kari said, not sure what else to say as she sat on the couch.
"Hey" was Tai's reply as he kicked off his shoes and started to make for his room. He looked over at his sister and saw the worry in her eyes, and went over and sat down next to her.
Kari looked into her brother's eyes, he's been crying, Kari thought to herself. "Tai... are you ok?" She said in a worried voice.
"I'm ok now" Tai said. "I know I've been down a lot lately, but I promise, that's over now. I just needed some time to think things over" Tai said as he hugged his sister.
"I'm glad to hear it Tai, you've really had me worried" Kari said hugging her big brother back.
"I'm sorry for making you worry" Tai replied and let go of his sister, "I'm going to go lay down for awhile, wake me up at like 6, ok?"
Kari smiled at Tai "ok" she said as she watched him head for his room. I hope he's ok now.

*Author's notes* I know this chapter was a little on the short side, but it ended where it needed to in order for the next chapter to set up properly. Please let me know what you think and review.
