Chapter 18: The Cave III
"And there aren't going to be any girls there, right?" Yuuko asked as Tai slipped on his shoes.
"No, there aren't," Matt assured, smiling politely and disarmingly.
She looked like she only half believed him, and that truth was reiterated in her words, "Alright, but I understand teenage lingo, you know. A 'camping trip without adult supervision' means there will be girls there and beer and sex. I don't want you two getting mixed up in anything."
"It's nothing like that, Yuuko, I promise," he tried again, looking no more discontent than before. "It is more so to reminisce about the past than anything else. When we were in the Digital World we would often camp out under the stars, so it's just a get together like that."
"But still… No girls?" Tai's mom asked again.
"Nope, no girls," Matt assured, glancing back over his shoulder to see that Tai had finished tying his shoes. "So can he come with then?" Unable to say no to those pleading faces, she finally nodded and let them leave. Closing the door behind them, she still wasn't entirely convinced it was what Matt had said it was.
Checking his watch, which lit up a 7:35, Tai walked in silence for a moment before asking, "So is that why Kari insisted on staying at Yolei's?"
"Huh? Oh, no. She really is staying over there. None of the younger Digidestined are coming," Matt replied, glancing at his own, non-digital watch. It would take about two hours to get there, kind of late but it could be later. Pulling his sweatshirt closer to his skin, he leaned over into Tai since he had the darkness as a cover. Smiling to himself, the now-sixteen-year-old brunette wrapped an arm around the older male at his side.
"Are you going to tell me where we're going?" he asked as they arrived at the bus stop, taking a seat on the bench under the empty overhang. Matt sat as close to him as he dared with the streetlights shining on them, and possibly a little closer than he normally would have since it was only fifty-eight degrees out.
"You will have to wait and see," he answered, scooting a little closer to the heat of his boyfriend.
Enjoying the closeness of the teenager next to him, Tai refrained from breaking the silence for a moment. Once the headlights of the bus could be seen in the distance he spoke, "So it'll just be the six of us, then?"
"No, I don't think Sora or Mimi could make it," Matt said, putting a little more distance between their bodies as the bus started to pull up. He didn't elaborate farther and the doors of the bus opened. Matt quickly grabbed his bag and ran on ahead, paying for both his and Tai's tickets before walking to the back of the bus and taking a seat. "It's a long ride, so try not to fall asleep," he told the brunette as he sat down.
"Then don't you fall asleep either," Tai retorted playfully, "since I have no idea where we're going."
"I won't fall asleep," Matt chuckled, laying his hand over Tai's on the seat and looking out the window. He was too wired with anxiety to sleep. It was going to be a long bus ride.
Mentally preparing himself for what was just ahead, it took Matt a moment to realize it was almost their stop. Carefully lifting his wrist, he could barely see around a spike of brown hair that both hands were pointing to the nine.
Smiling lovingly at the boy asleep on his shoulder, Matt couldn't help but feel a little guilty at waking him. He was sleeping so peacefully, it felt like such a shame to wake him and they had another ten minutes until their stop so Matt postponed it a little. Instead he tried for had to be the fifth time to move his shoulder slightly to allow his arm to come out of its slumber. It was numb; he couldn't feel it or move it, and hadn't been able to for half-an-hour, when Tai dozed off. It may have been considerable early to sleep, but after doing nothing but sitting for that long anyone could find themselves nodding off.
"Hn?" Tai uttered, stirring as Matt moved a little too much. Sitting up and yawning, it took him a good ten seconds to remember where he was. "We there yet?" he asked, yawning again and stretching his arms way above his head.
"Almost," the musician replied, grabbing his limp arm in his hand and lifting it up. Shaking it a bit, he tried to move a finger and found not even all of his concentration could get it to. "Do you see what you did to me?" he asked, letting out a strange "ezezeze"-like noise as his whole are suddenly started to tingle.
Chuckling and planting a peck on his boyfriend's lips, Tai cooed, "I'm sorry, love."
The driver gave them a strange look as the got off the bus, although whether it was because of the location or that he saw the exchange in the back of the bus Matt didn't know.
"Ah, this brings back memories," Tai said, stretching and inhaling deeply through his nose. "So, where are we camping?"
"This way," Matt replied, heading in the direction he pointed. As the open area began getting populated by trees his companion started growing suspicious of where they were going. He could tell it was difficult for Tai to stay quiet about it, almost as if he feared that saying it would make it true. He did speak up, though, when Matt pointed to the reclusive little cave that was supposed to be just there and said, "There it is."
"Matt, did you really tell the others about this place?" he asked, the disappointment in his voice hurting the blonde a little. "I wanted… I wanted this place to stay just between us…"
"I know," Matt replied, anticipation welling up in his chest. His pace quickened a step, as if he was trying to outrun his anxiety, while Tai's slowed up, the brunette trying to prolong the undisturbed sanctity of the place a moment longer.
When he made it to the cave mouth the moonlight shone in perfectly to show Matt laying out his sleeping bag… in an empty cave. "Matt… I thought you said the others were here?" he asked, confused.
"I never said that, Taichi," he replied, feeling the material to make sure no pointy rocks were under it. "I believe I said that everyone else who was coming was already here."
Hope rising, Tai pushed a little farther. "So where is everyone, Yamato?"
"Like I would tell anyone else about this place," Matt said, standing and turning to face the now excited brunette. "I actually hadn't planned it like this," he admitted as Tai moved forward and wrapped his arms around the blonde's skinny waist. "I was going to bring you home since Dad is going away on a business trip, but then the weather suddenly heated up. I figured that this was a better place, a more important place."
Not wanting to jump to conclusions but pretty sure he understood where Matt was going, Tai inquired, "A better, more important place for what?"
"D-do I have to spell everything out for you?" the blonde stuttered. "First you almost ruin my plan on Valentine's Day and now I have to tell you?" Face almost glowing red now, he swallowed hard when Tai didn't respond and stuttered, "I-I'm talking about our first time. S-sex."
OoOoOoOoOoO
Once he felt like he had removed enough of Tai's seed, he quickly pulled on the clothes he could find. Tai had set out his sleeping bag by that time, and Matt looked between his clean one and his messy one.
Tai was just about to turn and ask Matt to join him when he saw the shivering blonde behind him. Ushering him quickly into the warm folds of fabric, he joined him a second later. "Figured I'd offer since we kind of dirtied yours," he said, wrapping his arms around the older male and placing a sweet kiss on his forehead."
"I would have been seriously pissed if you hadn't," Matt replied, curling up into that warm chest. Exhaustion pulled at his eyelids and he was out within minutes, but he did get a chance to see Tai's face lit by moonlight before sleep's dark embrace comforted him. Tai didn't last much longer.
OoOoOoOoOoO has replaced the sex scene, which has now been taken out, obvious. Full chapter is at http(:)/angelic-hellspawn(.)deviantart(.)com/art/Digimon-Taito-Fanfic-Chapter-18-306855242
