Hey there! I'm back; here's a new story of mine. It's a Taito obviously. I just love that couple, aren't they the perfect couple? And Tai's soooo cute!
"A Simple Melody"
By Baby-chan
Matt kept looking at the other blond boy...
-"You look awful Yamato."- He said to the boy staring back at him in the mirror. He looked away. "What a mess" he thought as he tried to walk back to his room, but he just kept stumbling over everything in his way out of the bathroom.
He was sick.
A few days ago, in one of those stupid arguments at Tai's place 'bout who of them both was better, he had challenged Tai to see who of them could eat more junk food.
It was a stupid challenge, but he still wanted to prove he was better than that bush-headed boy, and that meant beating him in what he did best (beside soccer)... and that was eating of course.
He didn't know exactly how much stuff had he thrown in his mouth, but he knew it was an awful lot. From Snickers to Oreo cookies, and then to Pringles and then to... well, it had been a lot, he didn't want to think about it now... it made him want to puke.
-"Ugh... there goes again this stupid dizziness!"- Matt yelled angrily, he really hated being sick. But anyway, all this was his fault; he was the one who dared Tai after all.
And for what did he do that? Tai won after all.
He should've guessed it. The way that Tai eats... it was obvious that Matt didn't stand a chance with him.
Of course, all that junk food had its effect on Matt's stomach. The next day, when he woke up, he found himself running to the bathroom to throw up. And so he had been doing the same for about two days already.
-"Stupid Tai"- Matt muttered angrily, as he drank another spoonful of Pepto-Bismol. –"Yuck, this sucks."- Matt said, as the medicine slid down his throat. Just when he was throwing a disgusted look at the empty bottle of medicine, the phone started ringing.
He didn't know who it could be. It was 9:30 a.m., so it couldn't be TK or the others. They were at school; it was Monday after all.
"Who could be calling at this time in the morning? It must be dad... stupid dad; he doesn't think I can handle my own sickness."- He thought angrily, as he stumbled over to get the phone and answer. As dazed as he was, he had a little trouble with the cordless phone and it's "talk" button. Meanwhile, the phone just kept ringing and ringing, making Matt more hysterical than what he already was.
-"Um Yeah... Hello?"- He asked as he finally got the right button. His own voice sounded sick.
-"Hey Matt! What took you so long?"- A familiar voice asked.
-"… Tai?"- Asked the puzzled Matt.
-"Yeah, who else would it be? So what took you so long?"- Tai asked him, his voice somewhat different.
-"I... I was..."- Matt didn't know what to say, he had told Tai the day before that he was only a little dazed, not totally sick and about to throw up at any time which was how he truly was feeling.
-"Why didn't you told me?"- Asked Tai out of nowhere. –"Why did you told me it was just a little daze? Why Matt! You should've told me you got sick!"- Tai asked again, his voice somewhat worried. Matt kept silent, how was he supposed to tell him... that.
-"I... I... I didn't want to, besides... it's JUST a little daze."- Matt said. He heard Tai sigh.
-"TK doesn't say the same... he says you're sick. That's what he told me when I asked him about you; you're not at school, it can't just be a little daze."- Tai said firmly. Matt sighed; he didn't want Tai to find out. He'd probably come right over to see if he was ok, "it's what a best friend should do" he would say. The problem was that Matt didn't look at Tai like a best friend... but like something else.
Before Matt could think of anything else to say, Tai just said to him. –"I'm coming over, I'll be there in a few minutes."-
-"WHAT? Right now?"- But there was no reply, Tai had already hung up. Stupid Tai, he was going to skip classes! "Damn you TK, I told you to keep quiet"- Matt thought angrily.
He sighed.
Well, he knew that he couldn't blame TK, if Tai had asked...
But he knew why had TK told everything to Tai, he knew why TK didn't lie to Tai. TK had been pushing Matt lately about telling Tai what he felt for him. Matt of course, was trying his best not to do so. He was sure that Tai would hate him. And he didn't want that to happen. He'd rather fight with himself over the urge to tell Tai the truth and just kiss him, than to have to deal with his answer or risking their friendship.
He hadn't meant for it to happen... it just did.
FLASHBACK
One day Tai came to his apartment, they were talking when they started arguing and Matt started tickling Tai so he'll just shut up. Suddenly Tai rolled over and Matt ended under Tai. He was panting heavily from all the tickles that Matt gave him.
They're faces were very, VERY close. Matt could feel a light pink covering his cheeks, so he quickly tried to cover it.
-"Hey Yagami... aren't you going to GET OFF?"- Matt asked. Tai stared at him oddly, before standing quickly.
-"Sorry Matt."- He said grinning sheepishly, Matt felt weird at that smile. He thought Tai looked so cute, so adorable...
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING YAMATO ISHIDA?" Thought Matt to himself... "Tai... cute? No way! He wasn't gay!" Matt kept thinking, but somehow... he didn't believe his own thoughts.
ENDFLASHBACK
After that, he had started looking even more and more at the brown-eyed boy. And eventually, he accepted the fact that he liked him... a lot; but he thought that it was just a crush and that it would soon vanish. Then as time passed, the feeling instead of disappearing, grew. He wouldn't admit it at first... but he had fallen in love with the mighty fearless leader.
–"Oh boy... what am I supposed to do now?"- Matt whispered. He decided that he wouldn't let Tai see the mess, so he cleaned... well, tried to clean his apartment. For as dazed as he was he couldn't even stand right. He didn't want Tai to see him! Not like he looking was right now!
His hair was totally messed up; his face was a shade between yellow and green and his clothes... Well, they were messed up too.
He had to change!
He ran to his room, stumbling on lots of things, and put on some clean clothes: A black shirt with some dark blue trousers.
His teeth! He had to wash them!
He ran to the bathroom to do so. When he had finished, he looked himself in the mirror. His hair! He had to...
The doorbell rang.
Matt instantly knew who it was. His legs started to shake... what was he going to do? He wasn't sure that he could be able to control his sickness and the urge to jump on Tai and just tell him. What if he accidentally said something? What if he accidentally DID something?
The doorbell rang again.
Well, he was probably going to have to open. He knew Tai wouldn't go away, he would stay outside ringing the doorbell all day if it was needed.
-"MATT! OPEN UP! I KNOW YOU'RE THERE! C'MON!"- Yelled Tai from outside the door. He was now knocking hard on the door. Matt sighed...
-"I'm coming!"- Yelled back to a desperate Tai.
Well this was just like a prologue or something, welljust push that nicelittle buttondown below and review please!
