The Boys Of Summer
ST: Yes, I know I said that I'd get these up faster, but I went out of town on Thurs. and got back today- uh, yesterday (it's 1:28 on a Mon.). BUT, I don't care. SCHOOL'S OUT!!
ON the other hand, I'm gonna sort out some FAQ:
Yamasuke?: Yes! If you haven't noticed, Davis is bonkers over Mattie. So, it's acctually Daito. If you haven't noticed, Matt's a bit of a chick.
Taikeru?: Well, it'd explain Tai's unnecessary picking upon Keru. And I happen to think it's cute. And very original.

[the boys of summer]
-Chapter 8-
O0O0O The Norm O0O0O
Tai got up, pulled on a shirt, and walked out into the living room. The TV was on mute and on the couch were a blonde and a burgundy boy lying down, cuddling in their slumber.
Matt's arms were wound loosely around Davis' waist, his head lying on the younger's chest. Davis' arms were resting protectively, yet tenderly around Matt's neck while his head leaned back into the couch.
Tai smiled before grabbing the remote off the coffee table and changed the channel. The TV flashed from Bugs Bunny to Beyblade.
Davis stirred and groggily said, "Dammit! I was watching that!"
The redhead opened his eyes and blinked at Tai.
"Oh, it's you. Why are you up so early?"
Tai shrugged. "No reason. Why were you up so late?"
"No reason."
Matt suddenly shifted, his head sliding down to Davis' lap. He began to mumble incoherent sleep talk and a smile appeared on his face.
Tai raised his eyebrows at his cousin. Davis began to blush and tried to piece together a comprehensible sentence, but Tai shushed him.
"Don't want to wake up Mattie, now do you?"
Davis scowled and began to lift the blonde off of him. Tai laughed and said, "Oh, so now you're in denial? Poor Davis! He says he only wants to sleep with him, but really he wants to hold him, forever and ever and ev- OOF!"
Davis socked Tai in the arm, mumbling little words of vulgarity as he left the brunette to rub his sore spot.
Tai laughed and sat down next to Matt, who was now sprawled across the couch. The bushy haired boy began to poke his sleeping friend in the face.
Matt groaned and slowly opened his eyes. "Fuck off Tai."
Tai scowled and mumbled something about 'non-morning grouch asses' and watched the cartoon. Matt got up and left. Tai sighed, slightly disappointed that he had driven his company away.
I wonder where Teeks is, he thought, knowing very well that the boy wasn't in his room.
O0O0O My Outside Viewing O0O0O
TK wasn't in his room (duh). He was sitting on a surfboard, trying to balance himself on it as the heavy waves rolled in and out of the bay. Kari sat next to him, on her own board, herself completely at ease with the movement. She smiled and said, "You ready?"
TK confidently nodded at the girl in the red bikini. "I really really hope so."
"Then go for it! And don't forget anything I told you. Or showed you. Now, paddle your ass out there dude!"
TK made his way out further towards the rolling waves. The walls of water began to rise higher and higher. The blonde almost lost his nerve, but swallowed hard and swam up to them.
It seemed to come almost naturally to him: the stand, the balance, the surf. And it felt exhilarating. The wind blowing and the tingle of salt on his lip, it was all just amazing. The feel of water moving beneath him sent shivers down his spine.
All of a sudden, he fell into the water, his perfect balance broken in an instant. Salt gushed into his mouth, causing him to choke.
"TK! You alright?"
TK merely bobbed in the water, holding on tightly to his board.
"TK? TK?!"
TK's eyes were full of light as he turned towards Kari. He opened his moth and stuttered, "Th-that wa-wa-was the most, the most, amazing! I-I never, oh my god!"
Kari helped the babbling blonde back onto his board. "You're shittin me Takashi."
TK shut up and gave her a look of confusion.
"You must've done this before! No one is that good that fast. Well, unless you're Davis, but he practically lives on the beach..."
TK stared at Kari blankly. "You think, you really really think that I'm THAT good?"
Kari laughed. "Dude, you were, like gnarly! I'm so stoaked that you're this good." She gave TK a look of pure evil. "You swear to the almighty surfin god that you've never so much as touched a board before?"
TK waved his hands in front of his face and hastily answered, "No! I swear on the, uh, god-thingy."
Kari snickered. "Almighty surfing god, Takashi. Okay, okay. You have me convinced. Let's go in. I'm starved."
TK sighed in relief as they started to paddle in.
Planting their boards firmly into the sand, the two headed up the beach. TK quickly grabbed his hat out of his swim trunks and placed it backwards onto his head.
"You must really like that hat."
TK nodded in a yea-so way. Kari glanced at the writing on it.
"Hey, who's Xantic?"
TK shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know. I guess it doesn't really matter. The hat's cool."
Kari laughed. "You bought a hat and don't even know what band it's from?"
TK glared at her. "Oh, shut up."
Kari rolled her eyes and pulled at the dripping wet hair that hung in her eyes. "So, Takashi, I have a theory on how you're so radical out there. Did you know you're brother used to surf?"
TK turned to Kari quickly, eyes wide. "That's right city boy. He was the best. A surfin god himself. Damn was he hot. Really. And you're like a replica of him. Totally. I mean, only your bro was that righteous on his first go."
"Really?"
Kari opened her mouth and simply said, "No."
The two burst out laughing as they approached a hot dog stand. "That was mean Kar. Real mean." TK ordered them some corndogs and paid. They received them and walked down the pavement sidewalk.
The two were quiet for a while, both eating their lunch. Suddenly TK asked, "So, are you seeing anyone?"
Kari looked up. "Why? Are you asking me out?"
TK stared to blush a little and stared at her. "Maybe."
She smiled and said, "Really?"
TK coolly said, "Yea, I am."
Kari laughed, "Okay, sounds kick ass."
O0O0O Goggle-head Davis (although right now he posses no goggles) O0O0O
Hee hee. Matt and me, sittin in a tree, F-U-C-hm hm hm hmm! First comes sex, then comes sex, and then comes a whole lot mo-re sex! Me and Yama, Yama and Me. Love. We love. Each other. Forever. For Ever. For-Ever. Yama and me, forever. And ever. And ever. In love! And sex!
Oh, sorry. My thoughts are very disturbed.
Well, it was a very boring day, but I didn't care. My encounter with my beloved kept my face smiling all day long.
TK must've done something to make him smile, too, cause when he came from who-cares-where, he was beaming like a frickin light bulb.
"Hey Keru! How was your morning?"
He came up to me and hugged me tightly. "Good Dai. Very good."
Wow, I guess something really perked him up. Maybe he got laid. By Tai. Hadn't seen him around all morning either. Oh, never mind, he was on the couch. "Well, what happened?"
TK didn't say anything. He pulled away, that goofy grin still on his face. He walked to his bedroom, leaving me standing there like a doof.
Oh well, I'm always a doof.
Anyways, I didn't stand there for that long, for the phone began to ring. So, I answered it. "Ishida Auto and Tire shop. What can I do for you?"
"Davis? It's me, Ken!"
I smiled. "Oh, hello Mr. Ichijouchi! You're Beamer is almost ready. Can you come around for it at about, umm, sixish?" Heh heh.
My joke was quickly done, though. Ken gave me his "shut-the-fuck-up" sigh. "Sorry. What's up?"
Ken began to explain. "Guess who's going out tonight?"
Ummmm. "I don't know? You? Me?" How was I supposed to know this crap?
"Kari and TK."
"Say what? Together?" My mind basically froze after that. I was barely able to hold the receiver up to my ear.
"Yea, I know! TK asked her out and now they're meeting up at Lazers for pizza."
I still didn't know what to say. That little...
"Davis! You still there?"
Listen, Ken, I've gotta go. Cya."
I hung up the phone and sprinted to TK's bedroom door. That little shit was really going to get it.
I knocked loudly on the door. He opened it and stared at me puzzled.
"You!" I slapped him heavily on the back. Flinching, he quickly held his hands up to his face and said, "I'm sorry I asked her! Please, spare me!"
What the... "Dude! I, like, am your faithful servant! Spare ME!"
He opened his eyes, staring at me with bewilderment on his face. "Huh?"
"Keru! You did the impossible! You're going out with Kari, the, like, surf goddess! A total hottie!"
TK slowly began to smile, realizing that I wasn't going to threaten his life status.
"Cool."
Cool my ass!
"Oh, by the way, I hate you Takashi." I gently slapped his cheek and walked back to the living room, satisfied.
O0O0O Tai, the Dolt O0O0O
Okay, I'm not really the jealous type. Uh, okay, yes I am, but c'mon! Hearing the words –going-, -out-, and –Kari- caused some major green-eyed monster freckles to suddenly pop onto my face.
No way was MY Teeks gonna go out with –her-. It just wouldn't happen. Not with me around, anyways.
I would make sure that his date went up in ashes.
Bwahahahaha.
