A dog is a man's best friend

Saturday morning, the blonde stirred. Sunlight streamed through the deep red blinds, giving the room a sunset effect. Yamato yawned, and tried to lift his arm to stretch, to no avail.

"Huh?", he mumbled. He looked to his left to find the brunette clinging to his arm.

"You even grin like that in your sleep Tai?", he giggled.

"Guess I can't get up until you do..". He jumped when a jumble of moans came from the boy lying next to him.

"Frnnghumm"

"Tai?"

"Mmsmfff!" Matt tried to stifle a laugh.

'What the fuck, Tai. What the fuck", he thought. Placing his available hand over his mouth to stop the laughter escaping. No use.

The apartment filled with earthshaking laughs and giggles, waking Tai up with a start. He looked at his friend dumbfounded as he continued to laugh.

Yamato had finally stopped laughing long enough to cook breakfast. Still in his tiger print boxers, he put on a white and blue checkered apron, and started on the bacon and eggs.

Tai still didn't know what was so funny.

"Juice, Tai?"

"Yes pwease!", the brunette replied giddily. Matt grabbed two strawberry print glasses from the cupboard and filled each with orange juice. He passed one to his friend containing a straw and went back to the bacon. He flipped the breakfast like a pro, and placed some toast in the toaster and poured some beans into a pan. He layed the table with all manners of sauces. Ketchup, HB, barbeque. He put out some butter, salt and pepper next. Putting two plates either side of the table, he accented them with forks, knives and spoons. He then placed a napkin next to his own plate but proceeded to tuck Tai's into the top of his shirt.

"Like I can trust you to eat beans safely?" he giggled. One the food was done, he split it between the two plates and they began eating.

"Yama, you should be a chef!" Tai exclaimed.

"I think about it some..times.." Matt looked up to find Tai's plate already clean, littered with a few crumbs and patches of ketchup and bean sauce. He laughed. Tai waited patiently for his friend to finish, kicking his legs under the table. He placed his chin in his palm and grinned uncontrolably.

"What?" Matt asked, paranoid.

"You look pretty in an apron and boxers, Yama!".

"Ugh!" He booted his friend under the table making Tai jump in his seat.

"So, what do you want to do today?" Matt asked casually. Taichi's face lit up.

"Mall!" He yelled. Matt raised an eyebrow.

"The mall? We were just there the other.."

"Mall!"

"Tai.. We"

"MALL! MALL! MALL!" Yama kicked his friend once more.

"Fine!" he yelled back, as Tai's face filled with glee.

'He's just as high-maintenance as Mimi', he thought.

Matt had finally finished his breakfast and was dressed when the pair headed off to the mall. They walked through the woods to reach it. The full trees provided shade along the path from the glaring sunshine. Taichi was skipping on ahead as Matt followed, watching his friend pleasantly.

'Cute. Maybe I should buy him something today..' he pondered.

'Last night was incredible. I slept like a baby. If only..' he was broken out of his daydream when the brunette he was thinking about was in his arms.

"Um.. Tai?"

"Hug time!" Matt sighed.

"Crazy bastard". Tai grinned at this remark. Letting go of his friend he grabbed his hand and began dragging him towards the mall. Matt smiled, letting him. He enjoyed moments like this. He was lucky to have a friend like Taichi who wasn't afraid to hold his hand or hug him.

Once they reached the mall, Matt was dragged into a toy shop. What a surprised. He laughed as his best friend ran exitedly around the shop, picking up toys here and there.

'Atleast he's enjoying himself' Matt grinned. He moved towards a shelf holding a manner of small stuffed toys. He picked one up. It was a fairly large chocolate brown puppy, resembling Taichi somewhat.

"That's it!", Matt shouted. The store had turned to look at him, but he hadn't seemed to notice.

'I'll get him a puppy', he mused. Sprinting across the toy store he grabbed his friend by the arm and dragged him out the store. Tai was pulled along, dumbfounded.

"Yamaaa! Where are we going? I wanted to play with the toys", Tai whined.

"We'll go back soon!" Matt stopped, infront of a large bright store, painted with pawprints. The sign read 'Pets galore'. They entered.

"Stay!", Matt commanded his friend. Tai looked confused, but did so. He fidgeted as his friend walked away towards the cash desk.

"Hey. I'm Matt. I was hoping to buy something". The cashier nodded.

"What exactly are you looking for?" she smiled. Matt leant over the desk in order to whisper.

"Do you have any chocolate brown puppies?", he murmered. The cashier nodded, and raised a hand to tell him to follow her as she walked into the back room.

"They're fucking adorable!", he exclaimed, picking up one of the litter and holding it to his chest.

"I'll take him". He exited the back room and left the puppy with the woman to sort out. He wandered about the store, picking a blue collar, a matching lead, some dogfood and squeaky toys. He took them back to the desk. Placing them down, he looked behind him to see Tai fidgeting even more than before. He thought he heard him whine a little. The cashier returned with a large white box with white airholes littering the surface. She put the leash and other things into a plastic bag, and handed them over. Matt paid the cash and returned to Taichi. Placing his lips to the boy's ear he whispered.

"I have a suprise for you".

After much whining and moaning from Tai to find out what the suprise was exactly, the pair returned home.

"Sit". Taichi jumped onto the sofa and crossed his legs. Matt placed the box on the table and nodded to Tai, who lifted the lid. His eyes grew wide and he screamed with joy.

"Yaaaaaaaaamaaaaaaaaa!" he barked. Picking up the puppy and holding it above his head. He started dancing.

"Tai! I know you're excited but be careful!" he yelled, grabbing the puppy and holding it against him. Tai gave an apologetic look and moved toward Matt, stroking the puppies head.

"And it's for me?"

"Yes" Matt smiled at his friend.

"Thankyou Yama.." It was not Tai's usual grin, but more of a sweet, thankful smile. The threesome fell asleep that night on the couch. The tv illuminated them. The nameless chocolate puppy in the middle, Matt to it's right who's fingers intertwined with those of Tai, who sat to the puppy's left. A family.
