A dog is a man's best friend

Their lips pressed.

Sparks.

Fireworks.

"Oh Tai.." he mumbled.

"WAKE UP!" The brunette yelled, shaking his friend. The blonde sat up, looking around baffled.

"Jeez Yama. You've been mumbling my name for the past half hour. And you're sweating. Did you have a nightmare? Did I die?"

"Did you what?"

"Or was I trying to kill you?"

"Tai?"

"Sorry if I was". Matt giggled.

"You're an idiot".

"Well?" Matt raised an eyebrow.

"Well, why did you keep saying my name in your sleep?" Matt looked dumbfounded for a moment before suddenly remembering his dream. He blushed a deep crimson. Trying to cover his cheeks with his hand he mumbled.

"Nothing, i'm gonna get changed" and he ran towards the bedroom. Closing the door behind him he walked towards the mirror. He pouted.

"Why did you have to wake me up, bastard". He laughed and rummaged through the drawers for clothes.

He exited back into the living room wearing a red button-up long sleeved shirt and ripped jeans. He looked towards the kitchen to see Tai cooking. He gulped.

"Crap.. um, Tai?"

"Morning Yama! Breakfast?" he grinned back. Matt sat down to find a slice of cheese on toast.

"Oh good. I was worried", he laughed.

"Worried?", Tai pouted.

"That you were trying to cook, but cheese on toast is your specialty I guess", he mumbled, biting into the melting cheese. Tai tutted.

"Mmm. Oh yeah, you slept over again last night?"

"I couldn't leave the puppy with you!", he moaned.

"I thought you would've taken it home"

"My dad's allergic remember?"

"What? Fuck! So I have to keep it?" Matt spat toast crumbs across the table. Tai kneeled down next to his friend, puppy dog eyes already working their magic. Matt sighed and nodded.

"Thankyou Yama!" Taichi beamed, leaping up to plant a kiss on Matt's cheek causing him to blush once more.

"So, if the dog's staying here I guess you are too?" Tai turned, eyeing his friend.

"You might as well move in". Matt stood and walked to the sink to place in his plate as a bouncing Taichi leapt onto his back, embracing him in a lung-crushing hug.

"Taii! Can't.. breathe.." Matt gasped. The puppy barked. The pair laughed.

"We havn't named him yet have we?" Tai asked.

"Thanks for pointing out the obvious, Taichi. So what shall we call him?" Matt picked the puppy up and cradled him in his arms.

"Bensworth!" Tai proclaimed in a proud voice.

"What the fuck Tai?" Matt kicked him. "We'll think of something once we've had him longer. For now you'll be called Puppy", Matt said in a baby-talk voice, pressing his nose to Puppy's.

"Hmph! I don't get that kind of attention" moaned Taichi from behind him. Matt turned and pressed the dogs nose to Tai's, making him giggle.

"It tickles! Not from him!"

"Not from him?"

"Taichi wants Wamato's attention", Tai grinned as Matt's nose was pressed to his.

"Eshkimo kishes!" he exclaimed. Matt laughed, and sat down on the couch, flicking on the Tv with Puppy on his lap. Tai leaped next to him nuzzling into his arms.

"I wuv woo Wamato!", he barked. Matt stood, placing Puppy into Tai's lap and exited to the bedroom.

"Yama?" Tai called out sadly.

He shut the door behind him slowly, and walked silently towards the bed. Climbing onto it, he lay back and closed his eyes.

"I can't stand you saying that, Tai", he whispered. "Not when you don't mean it like I do". He turned to his side, and tears trickled over his face. He lay there, crying silently for a while when a hand appeared on his shoulder making him jump.

"Yama..?" A sad, quiet voice. "Yama, what's wrong?" The blonde sat up.

"You didn't hear did you?"

"Hear what?"

"No then, never mind" He stood, but Tai's arms wrapped around his waist halted him.

"Yama. Tell me what's wrong? What did I do wrong?" Matt turned his head.

"Tai? Are you crying?" Sure enough, the brunette's face was now drenched in tears and he was looking up at his friend, still clinging to his waist.

"If you don't want me to stay, i'll move back home!"

"You're not even moved in yet, doofus. I asked you like 20 minutes ago" Matt sighed. Tai laughed, but the tears were still flowing.

"I don't understand why you're the one crying, Tai".

"Because.. Yama.."

"Tai?"

"I love you Yama" Matt sighed.

"Don't say things you don't mean". He said seeming calm, while trying to supress his anger.

"What do you mean things I don't mean?" Tai whimpered. "I do.."

"Shut up, Tai. You don't love me the way I love you", Matt's anger boiling.

"The way you love me?"

"Yes! The way I love you! The way I can't bear to be without you, Tai. You mean the world to me. You're the only person I really care about. I want to hold you and show you how much I love you, but I can't! You're my best friend and there is no chance you will ever feel the same! I-" He was cut off.

Their lips pressed.

Sparks.

Fireworks.

But this was real.

It broke.

"Yama, I love you".

"Tai, you don't-"

"I fucking love you Yama! Don't disagree with me!" he yelled eyebrows furrowed.

"Tai-"

He was cut off by another kiss.

"Damnit Yama, what do I have to do to prove it?" He sighed. "I feel those sparks, and those fireworks. I love you and there's nothing you can say to prove me wrong-".

Another kiss. This time it was implemented by Matt.

More fireworks.

"I love you Yama. Believe that".

"I do". The blonde replied, stroking his lovers cheek. He wiped away the tears and embraced him in a hug.

"I love you too".
