To Love Two

It's Too Easy To Lie, Chapter 8

-- T.A.

…

He was scum. He knew he was scum. How could he lie to his two closest friends? His two lovers? He knew he had to break it off with one of them. He just didn't want to hurt either of them. He shouldn't of told Tai that he had broken up with Sora. He was such an idiot, he should have just told him he wussed out. Tai would have understood. But nooo, he had to lie to him too.

Matt shook his head. He had been laying in bed for over an hour thinking about how he was screwing everything up. It was okay though. It was Saturday, so he wasn't missing any school, he was just making himself more depressed by the second.

'How could I do this? I should have just kept my big mouth shut that night when Tai slept over.'

Matt jumped when his phone rang and he was about to answer it when he decided against it. Whoever it was would just have to wait. Matt wasn't in the mood for talking. He needed time to think.

Unfortunately For Matt, his father was home for once and decided to answer the phone.

Matt heard his fathers voice yell from somewhere in the apartment, "MAATT, PHONE!"

Matt sighed, reached over and picked up the phone in his room, "I got it dad."

He heard the click as his dad hung up and a cheerful voice piped up from the other end of the line.

"Hey Matt!"

Matt rolled over in his bed to try and get comphy again, "Hey Tai, what's up?"

"Nothing much beautiful, just wondering if you would like to head over to the mall with me? I have to pick up a few things."

Matt could practically see Tai bouncing around his room with energy.

Matt yawned, "I guess so, when and where do you want to meet up?"

Matt heard his door bell ringing.

Tai laughed, "Right now? I'm on my celly."

Matt hung up on Tai as he heard his father letting him in.

He was just able to get fully under the covers again when a bouncy Tai opened Matt's door and smiled ear to ear.

Matt cracked his eyes open and grumbled, "Why the hell are you up so early anyway?"

Tai quietly closed the door and walked over to Matt's bed.

"What are you doing?" Matt questioned as Tai kicked off his shoes and started climbing in bed with Matt.

Tai laughed, "Move over girly and give me some room."

Matt sighed and let Tai in under the blankets, forgetting to yell at Tai for the nickname. Right away Tai pulled Matt closer to him and took advantage of the fact that Matt didn't have a shirt on.

Matt moaned, "Tai my dad's home, you should stop. He could walk in."

Tai gave Matt one last bite on his shoulder followed by a soft kiss as he rested his head on the pillow next to Matt's.

Tai smiled, "I love you, you know that?"

The guilt was starting to sweep back into Matt.

"I love you too Tai." That wasn't a lie, but he still felt painfully guilty saying it.

Tai smiled again and gave Matt a peck on the lips as he started getting back out of bed.

"Come on you lazy ass let's get going, it's almost lunch time for crying out loud!"

Matt whined and pulled the covers up over his head. "Why do you torture me so?"

"Because you're my best friend and I have special privileges to do so."

Matt sighed and got out of bed, "Whatever."

Matt fell into his seat at the food court.

Tai laughed, "Jeez you act like you just ran a marathon."

Tai placed Matt's food and his on the table and took a seat for himself.

Matt glared at Tai, "We walked this damn mall at least three times. Three times Tai! This place is HUGE!"

Tai laughed and took a sip of his drink, "Oh your just a baby."

Matt pouted in a very un-Matt-like fashion, "Am not."

"Are too", Tai stuck his tongue out.

Matt just glared and started eating his food.

Tai smiled triumphantly and was about to dig in when he spotted someone across the food court.

His face lit up, "Hey look, it's Sora and Mimi!"

To Matt's horror Tai stood up, started waving and opened his mouth to scream, "Hey Sor-"

Matt quickly jumped up and clamped his hand over Tai's mouth.

"Shhh!" He dragged Tai back down into his seat and looked up to make sure they hadn't seen Tai yet.

Tai wrenched Matt's hand off of his mouth, and growled out, "What the hell was that for!"

'Great' Matt thought, 'Here comes another lie.'

He sighed, "Tai, we just broke up. It would be a little awkward, you know?"

Tai's glare dissipated as he shook his head in affirmation, "I'm sorry Matt. I wasn't thinking."

Matt smiled softly, "It's okay Tai, I just want to spend time with the one I love, alone."

He was scared at how fast the lies were coming out.

Tai's cheeks flushed and he smiled back.

As they started eating again Matt sighed in relief. That had been a close one. Too close for his liking.

"Hey Tai, after your done, you want to head back towards my house?"

Tai smiled around a mouth full of McDonalds, "Sure."

Matt smiled, he wanted to get out of their before they had another run in with Sora.

He could just picture it. Sora running up and planting a huge kiss on his lips. Tai would murder him, absolutely murder him for lying.

It would not be good.

When Tai and Matt entered Matt's apartment most of the lights were out. Tai took this as a sign that no one was home and quickly pounced Matt.

They were in the middle of making out up against a hallway wall when Matt heard a door shut somewhere in the apartment. He was just able to shove Tai off of him when the lights flicked on. Tk was standing at the end of the hallway.

"Hey guys, what's up?"

Matt could visibly see Tai relax and he sighed in relief.

Matt smiled at his brother, "Nothing much Teeks, what are you doing here?"

Tk shrugged, "Nothing. I was bored over at my place so I decided to come over and see what you guys were doing. No one was home when I came in so I've been watching TV in the living room."

"Oh, okay .. Well then I guess lets go watch TV." Matt said facing Tai and Tai nodded.

They all started heading back to the living room with Tk when the phone rang.

Matt sighed, "Don't worry, I've got it. Probably just dad calling to say he won't be home for dinner."

Matt grabbed the phone while Tk and Tai sat on the couch and they started flicking through the channels.

"Hello?"

"Hey Matt"

Matt gulped, "Hey, what's up?"

Sora sighed, "Nothing really. I'm bored, so I was wondering if you would like to hang out tonight?"

Matt glanced into the living room. Good, Tai was glued to some soccer game that was on.

"I don't know if I can make it tonight Sora, Tai and Tk are over."

"I can come over if you want?" Sora asked hopefully.

"NO! I uh .. I mean .. not tonight babe. Tai's leaving soon and I have a load of work to do."

Another lie. Matt grimaced as Sora sighed sadly into the phone.

"Oh, okay. Maybe I should just go then so you can get started."

"Sora, I'm sorry. Hey, I'll make it up to you. How about dinner and a movie tomorrow night. If your allowed to go out on a Sunday night that is."

"I'll ask my mom, I'm sure it would be fine, and I would love to Matt. I miss you."

Matt smiled, "I miss you too Sora, but listen, let me go okay? I'll give you a call tomorrow."

"Okay Matt. I Love you."

Matt brought his voice down low enough so that Tai wouldn't hear, he hoped.

"I love you too Sora, night."

"Night Matt."

Matt hung up the phone and headed back into the living room to spend the rest of the night with Tk and Tai.
