To Love Two
They Both Love You, Chapter 10
-- T.A.
…
Tai was looking at himself in the mirror. He had come home Wednesday night and had been barely able to find his apartment door because of the tears blinding his vision. Thursday he had stayed home, he didn't feel like seeing the face of the dirty fuck who broke his heart. It was currently Friday and Tai had no choice but to go to school.
'I look like shit' Tai scratched at the stubble forming on his chin and frowned at the fact that his hair was falling flatter than it usually did. Tai shrugged and opened the bathroom door, dressed and ready for school and a little visit he had planned.
Tai had spent all of Thursday sitting in his room in the dark, most of it in bed under the covers. His parents had thought that he was sick, his sister did too but she had her doubts.
Tai looked around the corner and found his sister watching TV. 'Good,' He thought, 'She won't even realize I left early.'
Tai turned around and opened the front door and when he was out he made sure to shut it as quietly as he could. He didn't want his sister asking why he was leaving half an hour early.
As Tai left the apartment building he turned to take a route that was as familiar to him as the back of his hand. He had spent the first half of Thursday quietly crying his eyes out, pretending to sleep whenever someone came into his room. The second half he had spent in a thought filled daze. He had no more tears to cry and he just felt empty inside. He had fallen asleep waiting for Matt's call.
Matt never called.
Tai awoke Friday morning and instead of being sad, or even empty, he was furious. He knew he would just slip into being sad again in a few hours, but while this rage lasted he wanted to pay the blonde a little visit. That's where he currently was headed.
A few minutes later Tai reached Matt's apartment door. Tai just stared at it, vaguely wondering if he should turn around before he made a fool of himself.
Tai raised his fist and lightly knocked on the door.
He vaguely heard someone saying something and then the door opened.
Tai didn't notice the look of shock mixed with worry on the blonde's face before Tai pushed him as hard as he could into the apartment.
Matt landed with a crash a few feet away from the front door. He didn't even have time to think before someone grabbed his shirt to pull him up.
Tai pulled Matt back up to his feet and growled when Matt's eyes met his.
Tai pulled his right arm back and his fist met with Matt's cheek and Matt was on the floor again.
Tai was breathing so hard, he was so furious, he didn't hear the door to his right opening.
Matt sat up on the floor and spat out blood that was forming in his mouth, "What the fuck was that for!" He glared at Tai as he sat up.
"What ?" Tai laughed, amazed, "What the fuck do you think it was for? You fucking LIED to me!"
Matt's eyes widened, 'There's no way ..' "What are you talking about Tai?"
Tai sneered and clenched his fists, "You lied to me Matt, you fucking lied to me. You used me you son of a bitch! I saw you the other night with Sora and it sure as hell didn't look like you two were just friends."
Matt stood up and glared at Tai, "You put me into this position! Do you think I wanted this to be happening!"
Tai growled, "Me! You're the one who fucked me!"
Someone gasped at the door to Tai's right and both boy's heads snapped to the door. Sora was standing there with her hand over her mouth and her eyes wide.
She looked at Matt and then turned and ran out of the front door.
Matt swore then turned to Tai who was still staring at the place Sora had been.
"Are you happy?" Matt growled out between clenched teeth. "Are you fucking happy!"
Matt punched Tai in the face and when Tai hit the floor a bolt of pain shot up through his arm and he yelped.
Matt was standing over him, "You better be out of this apartment when I get back." With that, Matt ran out of the apartment in hopes of finding Sora.
Tai sat up and looked at the door, vaguely realizing that he couldn't move his right wrist.
Tears that Tai thought had dried out started to appear again, he stood up and made his way out of the front door, shutting it when he got into the hallway. He stood still for awhile, just staring at the door but he turned around when he heard footsteps coming from down the hall.
Two sets of eyes met and Tai started really crying, cradling his right arm he turned fully towards the person and looked at the floor.
Between his sobs he managed to speak, "I'm s-so sorry." He looked up and made eye contact with eyes as full of tears as his were.
"I never meant to hurt you Sora."
Kari looked around the lunch room and then at the blonde moping in the seat next to hers. He had his arms crossed on the table with his head laying in them so that his face wasn't visible.
It was her freshman year in high school and for once all of the digi destined were in one school. Well, minus Joe and Cody. They all had the same lunch period and usually sat at the same table.
Kari looked across the table and Tk gave her a quizzical look and shrugged his shoulders, mouthing "I don't know."
She vaguely realized that Tai and Sora had yet to show up as she poked the blonde next to her.
Matt grunted and without picking his head up, swatted at her hand.
She sighed, "Matt what's wrong?"
Tk piped up, "Yea Matt, you've been moping since you've walked through the school doors. What happened?"
Matt grunted again.
"What was that?" Tk leaned closer to Matt.
Matt sighed, "I'm such an asshole." As he said this he lifted his head just enough so that Kari could see one eye peeking up at her.
Kari smiled, "We all know you're an asshole," Tk sniggered in the background, "But why are you acting so depressed?"
Matt put his head back in his arms, "Sora and Tai probably both hate me right now."
It was only Kari and Tk at the table currently and they both shared a questioning look.
Kari poked Matt again, "Why would they hate you? They both love you Matt."
"That's the problem" Matt mumbled into his arms.
Kari lifted her eyebrow, confused, "What?"
Matt sighed and sat up in his chair. His eyes were bloodshot and he was sporting a purplish bruise on one of his cheeks.
Matt looked at Kari in the eyes and then at his brother.
"You guys can't let anyone else know."
Tk and Kari looked at each other and then back at Matt.
" We won't," Kari said and Tk shook his head in agreement.
Matt sighed and hung his head, in barely a whisper he let them know the worst thing he had ever done in his life, "I cheated on Sora."
Kari gasped and Tk frowned, "How could you Matt, that's horrible."
Matt sighed, "I know, that's not even the worst of it."
Kari looked at him, "What is?"
Matt's eyes met Kari's, "I cheated on Sora with your brother."
Kari froze and Tk dropped his milk carton.
Tk recovered and quickly cleaned up his milk, "I don't think you said that right Matt", Tk said while giving his brother a weird look.
Matt shook his head, "I know what I said."
Kari's eyes widened .. "So .. That means your .."
"Gay?" Matt filled in for her quietly so no one else would hear, "I'm not gay .. Bi maybe but not gay."
Tk lifted an eyebrow, "Maybe? Technically if you cheated on Sora with Tai that would include hugging him, kissing him .. You get the deal. How's that maybe?"
Matt glared at Tk, "I don't know okay? Tai's been the only guy I've ever been attracted to."
Kari frowned, "Tai .. He let you cheat on Sora? With him? He wouldn't usually do that kind of thing .."
Matt sighed and started picking up his things, "I don't know .. I'm skipping the rest of the day."
Matt started walking away and Tk jumped up in his seat, "Wait, so what exactly happened between you three?"
Matt continued walking away and waved his hand dismissively, "You'll find out eventually."
Matt walked out of the cafeteria leaving a very stunned and silent Kari and Tk to think things through.
…
Wow .. I just realized how horrible I'm making Matt appear. I like him I swear! He will redeem himself somehow .. Well I hope you enjoyed .. Reviews will be much appreciated!
