~Tai's POV~
"May I help you?" the lady at the front desk asked me.
"Um, yeah. I'd like to speak to Sora."
"Fourth floor, third door to your left," she said. I was surprised. Usually people would bug me about how I had to make an appointment first.
"Thanks," I said. I continued into the elevator. It turned out I didn't have to go to her office. When I stepped out of the elevator, I saw Sora walking towards me with a man, probably one of her co-designers.
"Sora!" I greeted.
"Oh, hi Tai," she said. Her expression showed shock, and suddenly she started acting very strange. "Urm, this is just my co-designer, nothing else."
"I figured," I said.
"And we're just going downstairs to the factory."
"Ok…" I didn't much care where she went. "Anyways, I love your Yama design. It really suits Matt."
"Okay, thanks. It's his but I shall be leaving now." Her co-designer and she then quickly went into the elevator, leaving me standing in front of the elevator.
"Okay… She didn't even get a bit jealous about that. And she left in such a hurry. That was weird," I thought to myself. I needed to go downstairs too, and she didn't even let me do that. When I went down, I met her again.
"See, I just went to the factory," she explained. I didn't know why she made it such a big deal. It wasn't like I didn't believe her.
"I know," I said. She looked at me in relief, and I just stared at her stupidly. Why was she acting so weird? She went in the elevator with her co-designer and I left.
~TK's POV~
Things have been working very well with Tai and my brother. In fact, if I didn't know better I would have thought they were a couple. They're spending so much time together. I'm glad Tai and Matt made up.
"TK, I'm home!" called my wife. She had picked Akina, Yoshi, and our son up from school.
"Daddy!" cried my son, jumping into my lap.
"Uncle TK!" my cute niece and nephew said.
"Hey," I greeted. Today Matt had to work late, so he asked us to look after Akina and Yoshi.
"Uncle TK, I wanna go home," Yoshi whined.
"Me too!" Akina piped up. I sighed. How could one resist those puppy eyes?
"Alright," I said. "Let's go for a walk."
Matt didn't live too far from us. In fact, none of the digidestined lived too far apart, besides the Yagami's. I decided since I have a writer's block anyways, I'll walk Akina and Yoshi over. I hoped to be able to get some inspiration on the walk over. It turned out I didn't. When we got there, Akina and Yoshi immediately raced inside.
"Homework first," I reminded.
"But Uncle TK…"
"Nope," I shook my head. They then trudged slowly upstairs into their room, closing the door. I followed them upstairs, except I headed for the study room. After a few seconds I could hear them talk excitedly about a new game. I smiled. Kids just couldn't follow directions. Just then, I heard a car pulling up to the curb. I peeked out the window. I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but the window was open.
"Bye," Sora waved at the figure in the car.
"Wait," the person said. Judging by the sound it was a man. He stopped the engine and came out.
"Come on Raf. I can't do this."
"I know you love it," he smirked. This was getting weird. What happened next came as a total shock to me. He kissed her, and she pushed him back. That was the normal part.
"Rafu. I should go."
"No one's home," he said. I then remembered that Akina and Yoshi were still supposed to be at my place. He grabbed her by the waist. Sora let out a small giggle. They then started kissing. By now my mouth was wide open. There right below me was Sora, my sister-in-law, making out with another man. I had to tell Matt.
"Want to come in?" Sora offered.
"Your. Husband," he said between rushed kisses.
"He's working late." They moved under the hanging, so I couldn't see them anymore.
"But how late could an astronaut work to? There's nothing much to do."
"Well they train and stuff. Trust me, he won't be home for a while," came Sora's voice.
"Mmmm…sounds tempting." I had to do something to let them know I was here. Just then, Yoshi screamed.
"Spider!"
"It's nothing," Akina said. I assumed that Akina had killed the spider.
"Shit!" I then heard Sora swear. Rafu quickly ran to his car and drove away. I raced over to where Akina and Yoshi were.
"Mommy's home," I said hurriedly.
"It's okay. You were helping us do homework," Akina smiled. Apparently she was thinking back to the time when Sora got mad at me for not helping Akina and Yoshi do homework. I had been babysitting them when she came home, and she had said that I was a very bad uncle.
"Thanks," I said in relief. It felt strange to be lying for one reason while Akina was lying for another. If only she knew…
"Akina? Yoshi?" Sora asked. She was making her way upstairs.
"Hey Sora. Didn't hear you come in," I lied.
"Oh, you didn't?" She let out a breath, relieved that I didn't find out. Except I did. Talk about irony.
"Uncle TK was with us," Akina said.
"Oh, so he was being a good uncle this time, wasn't he?" Sora asked, trying to act normal.
"Well now that you're here I'll go home. Bye!" I said. As I walked back I realized that I had found inspiration after all. My new novel: Betrayal.
~Matt's POV~
"Matt, what's wrong with you today? You keep messing up," my boss demanded. He was right. I was sitting in the spacecraft simulator and so far I've been messing up again and again. The reason? Tai. He was getting married. It wouldn't have been so bad if he was getting married a month from now, because I'd have time to stop him. But he was getting married in four days! Four days!
"I'm just very tired," I explained.
"Well I think we've had enough. I was planning for a late day but obviously you can't get anything right today. See you tomorrow." He walked away, and suddenly I felt sorry for him. He didn't do anything wrong but I'm still messing up, which made him look bad as a boss.
"I'll do well tomorrow, I promise!" I called after him.
Doo doo doo doo doo doo my cell phone rang. I looked at the number. TK.
"Hi TK," I said.
"Matt, you sound tired." That was nice. Not even a "hello."
"Yeah, I am. Tai's getting married in four days."
"I heard. I'm happy for him. He's finally found someone."
"Yeah…" TK was right. He won't be alone anymore. I actually started to feel happy for him.
"Anyways, do you wanna go out today? Just you and me? I have something important to tell you."
"Sure. Sora won't be excepting me until later."
"Great. At the usual place then," he said and hung up. I wondered how important this "thing" was. I was actually getting quite curious. On the way to the park, I kept thinking up different things that he might say, like how he finally confessed to Kari of his love for her. I sighed. Sometimes I couldn't help but have a grudge on Kari. I know she did nothing wrong, because she didn't know of TK's love for her in the first place. But he suffered so much pain because of her.
"Matt!" TK called.
"I see no one uses cars anymore," I joked.
"Let's go sit over there." Something about his facial expression told me that whatever he had to say was serious.
After we sat on the bench, TK decided to jump right into it. "Sora's cheating on you. I saw her making out with a guy right outside your house."
"Weren't you at your house?" I asked. I didn't quite believe it. In fact, I genuinely thought it was a test to see if I'd get angry or if I'd rejoice for a chance at Tai. Did he figure out that I like Tai?
"Your kids wanted to go home, so I went home with them," he explained.
"So you're telling me that my wife's a cheater and I should get divorced?" I asked.
"I'm just saying that she's a cheater," he corrected. Wow, big difference. "I saw her kissing him. And they were really at it too. And his name is Rafu."
"Oh him? He's just her co-designer."
"Well apparently they're having an affair. Why won't you believe me? Your wife, Sora, is having an affair with her co-designer, Rafu," he repeated slowly as if I was deaf. It took a while for everything to sink in. But why would she do such a thing? With this happening it'd be only too easy to tell Tai about my feelings. No, something was wrong. How could all my problems just suddenly disappear? It couldn't be this simple. This just can't be true. It must be a test.
"Sora would never do that. I know her," I defended.
"You think you know her. I thought I knew her," he said. Why did he keep on correcting me? Why was he making up such a big lie? Did he know that I'd actually fall for it? Suddenly I just snapped.
"This is because of you, isn't it? It's because of you and your messed up marriage. Because you hate your marriage and wish it was with Kari instead. Because you can't do anything about your marriage so you decide to ruin mine. Is this why you're telling me this? Is it? Because if it is, then you can go home. I won't let this happen to my marriage. I won't let this happen to my kids. Remember how it was for us? I'll never let divorce come between Sora and me. Never!" I screamed at him. I saw tears forming in his eyes. Oh gosh, did I just make him cry? I remember, back in the digiworld, how he would say that he was strong and that he didn't need me to protect him anymore. I remember how I was stubborn and always thought that it was my responsibility to protect him. And here he was, crying because the person who promised to protect him was hurting him.
"You're right Matt. I'm not over Kari. But I'd never want to hurt you, nor separate Akina and Yoshi," he whispered bitterly.
"TK, I'm sorry. I didn't mean—"
"Get away from me Matt. You have issues. I don't know if you really love Sora or if it's because of some other reason that you exploded, but I know that you just need time to think it out. I hope you'll believe me. Have a nice night," he said coldly. He got up slowly and turned to leave.
"Wait. TK. Let me tell you a secret." He looked at me and sat back down. I looked into his blue eyes. It was now or never.
