To Love Two

Breaking, Chapter 9

-- T.A.

It had been two weeks. Two incredibly long stress filled weeks since he was supposed to tell Sora about him and Tai.

Out of those two weeks, there had been about eight times where he had almost been caught. Six times he had been with Sora and Tai had almost seen them, and the other two times it was the other way around.

He was ready to pull his precious hair out.

To make it worse he was sitting in his biology class. He absolutely loathed biology. He had so many better things that he could do with his time. Instead he was sitting here listening to some old man ramble on in a dry monotone voice about .. Hell he didn't even know what the guy was talking about anymore.

The end of the period bell rang and Matt let out a sigh of relief.

He gathered his stuff and walked out into the hallway with the other students, turning to walk towards his locker.

As he approached it he could see Sora already there, leaning against it with her back.

He walked up towards her and pecked her on the lips. Tai had to leave school early so for once, in almost six weeks, he was able to openly display his affection for Sora in the halls.

She smiled at him and leaned into his embrace, "You ready to go babe?"

Matt unwound his arms from her and opened his locker, "Yea, I'm making you dinner tonight at my place, right?"

"Yea sure, I'd love that. You know your cooking's the best Matty."

"It sure is" Matt said and then laughed when she shoved him.

He grabbed the rest of his books and he and Sora started walking towards Matt's car, hand in hand.

They were silent on the drive to his house, but it was a comfortable silence. It also allowed time for Matt to think.

He glanced down at Sora.

'She's beautiful. I'm glad I didn't break up with her, it would have been such a huge mistake. I really do love her, maybe more than Tai. I did love her first after all, and for a longer time. So the love should be stronger between us."

Sora saw him looking at her and smiled up at him.

Matt smiled back down then looked ahead.

'It should be stronger … Right?'


It had been two weeks. Two incredibly fast, beautiful weeks since Matt had broken up with Sora.

Matt was all his.

Tai smiled, he couldn't be happier. Well, he could be. He was currently sitting in a doctors office, getting poked at by a nurse, for his routine check up.

The nurse finally stopped poking him, informing him that the doctor would be in shortly (which he knew was a lie, they're never in shortly) and left the room.

Tai glared at the door. He hated doctors. No, he loathed them. Always poking at you with metal objects and making little sounds while checking you, like they knew what was wrong with you right when they walked in the door. Then they tell you your diagnosis, in a language that you can't understand, hand you a slip of paper with the medication you should take and you usually don't know what the hell your going to be taking until you get the pills in your hand, all because the damn doctor apparently can't write.

The doctor finally came in and Tai got his check up done and over with.

Within minutes he was starting his car and pulling out of the parking lot. He pulled out into the street and sat back.

'What to do, what to do?'

He looked at his clock. Good, three o'clock, everyone would be home by now. He had had to leave school early because he had a dentist appointment before the doctors appointment. It had been a great day.

Tai smiled, 'Maybe I'll go visit Matt, he lives in this area. Just a quick stop before going home, mom would be pissed if I missed dinner.'

Tai made the appropriate two lefts and a right to get to Matt's from the doctors office.

As Tai pulled into a spot in the apartments parking lot, he noticed Matt's car a few spots closer to the building.

'Good he's home.' Tai undid his seatbelt and was just about to get out of the car when he noticed the doors to Matt's car swinging open.

Matt got out and a few seconds after him, Sora got out on the passenger side.

Tai ducked and cursed himself for buying a convertible. Luckily Matt and Sora either hadn't seen or hadn't recognized Tai's car. He got up slowly as they got closer to the apartment building.

'What the hell?' He looked at them suspiciously, 'Well, they're not holding hands.'

Tai continued to watch them until they entered the building.

He cocked his eyebrow, 'No displays of affection, not that I would believe he would do anything with her after he told her about us. Sora wouldn't let him.'

He shrugged and started putting his seatbelt back on, 'Maybe they just needed to talk about some unresolved issues, or something. I'll come back later.'

Tai pulled out of the spot and started heading back home, no jealous thoughts running through his head. It had to be innocent, Matt wouldn't lie to him like that.

Tai arrived home and went on with the rest of his day with a little nagging voice in the back of his head telling him that maybe, just maybe, he should have went in.


Dinner had been beautiful. He was having a wonderful time with Sora snuggled up in his arms. They were sitting in his bed watching a movie, he didn't really care which movie. He wasn't paying attention much anyway. The lights were off and Sora was transfixed to whatever was on, Matt was transfixed to her.

Matt ran his hand along her arm and she moved a little into the touch, eyes still glued to the movie. Matt heard the door shut in his apartment. That meant that his dad was home, no big deal though, his dad wouldn't care that he and Sora had been alone in the apartment together. He was cool with that sort of thing anyway, besides, the door to Matt's room was open so he had nothing to worry about.

He wrapped his arms around Sora's waist and started kissing the back of her neck. She rolled over and smiled at him and he leaned down. They're lips met in a loving kiss and as he pulled away he thought he vaguely saw someone walking away from the doorway.

"I love you Matt."

Matt kissed her again, "I love you too Sora."


Even making his way back to the front door he could here the soft "I love you too Sora" that was whispered lovingly in Matt's room.

He opened the door, slipped through and shut it as quietly as he could.

Slowly he made his way to the staircase and he trotted down them gently. As he pushed open the doors to leave the apartment building a cool breeze wrapped itself around his body and rustled his hair. It was getting warmer in the days, but it was still pretty cold at night.

He was wearing a navy blue hooded sweatshirt and he pulled this closer to his body in an attempt to keep the heat in better.

As he walked to his car his face was an emotionless mask, as it had been on the way down from the apartment, but as he opened the door to his beautiful, cherry red mustang G.T., That mask started to break, and a tear slowly made it's way down his tanned cheek.

Tai got into the car and shut the door, but couldn't find himself able to move any longer. He looked up at the window he knew to be Matt's and watched as the flickering lights made from the TV stopped, and as the dimmed lights were turned off completely.

As Tai turned back to the steering wheel and got his seatbelt on a few more tears met up with the one that had escaped earlier. As he started up his car and pulled out of the parking lot and onto the street he couldn't stop the onslaught of tears that broke free, or the soft whimpers that were escaping his throat.

As he made his way home, he couldn't stop his heart from breaking.

Poor Tai .. I can't believe I'm doing this to my favorite character. Oh well, he's cute when he cries anyways .. Review !
