I don't own digimon. This fic contains shounen ai.
Tai is dreading this day. Today is the day that he was going to be disappointed. He was not going to get any chocolates nor was he going to be with anybody. Nobody but Matt, of course. Tai decided if Matt gets many chocolates, that he was going to steal some from him just so he could have it. Tai was just fervently hoping that they wouldn't be disgusting home-made chocolates made by some amateur cook.
Matt walked down the stairs to Tai's apartment to wait for him like he always does. He rang the bell, wished Mrs. Yagami a good morning before she leaves for work and waited in the dining room, drinking some tea or coffee. 15 minutes pass and there's no sign of Tai. He goes to the bedroom and found the bed abandoned. He checks the bathroom to find it was occupied by Kari. "Tai! Where are you?" No response. Matt heard a rustling from Tai's bedroom and rushes there to find that the closet door was left ajar. "Tai? What are you doing in there? We have to get to school."
"I don't want to go today. I'm not feeling very well." Tai was sitting on the floor with his arms around his knees and his face between them. Matt stepped into the small closet and nudged his best friend. When he didn't get a response he put one arm around Tai's back and the other around his shins. He hugged him for a bit then lifted the boy up and he was satisfied when he finally got a strangled cry. "What are you doing Matt?" he sounded angry. Tai didn't understand why Matt was so eager to get to school today. Probably because Matt knows he is going to get plenty of chocolates.
"Tai, you are feeling just fine. Dress up and let's go to school. Just tell me why you don't want to go." Matt said. Tai remained silent. Tai knew that he could tell Matt anything but he didn't know whether Matt would laugh at him or try to comfort him. Probably the former. Tai dejectedly started to remove his clothes and put on the school uniform. Matt had disappeared to the kitchen.
"Happy Valentine's Day." Tai muttered softly when the pair were walking the familiar to school. Matt stopped and looked at Tai's shy face. A look of realization passed over Matt's features before he started giggling. "What are you laughing for?" Tai asked, already knowing the answer.
"Nothing much Tai. Just that you…forget it. Is this why you were upset this morning?" Tai nodded. "You have nothing to worry about. If I get any chocolates, I'll give them all to you, okay?" Tai's face instantly lit up and Matt laughed.
They were sitting in Matt's room with 4 packets of chocolates. Tai snatched three of them and started eating them immediately. He spit the first two out, claiming that they tasted worse than his Mom's cooking. Matt patiently removed the cover of the packet he took and slowly popped the small candies into his mouth one by one. There was one left when Tai started opening the last chocolate. Matt put this one in his mouth when Tai spit the last one out.
"They don't taste good. Do you have any of the other left?" Matt shook his head and opened his mouth to show him the small chocolate sphere inside. "I still didn't manage to eat any chocolate. How come nobody gave me any? Am I that repulsive?" Then Tai started his self depreciating speech which Matt barely listened to. His eyes were on Tai's lips. They looked so soft, so kissable. "Not even my soccer skills can compensate for my bad looks apparently."
Matt was getting pretty tired of hearing his best friend roasting himself. The chocolate had started to melt in his mouth. That's it, he was going in. "Do you want me to make you chocolate?" he asked a pouting Tai. Tai froze then slowly shook his head. "But you still want it?" Tai once again uncertainly nodded. "Then get up." Tai did as he was told. "Now don't move."
Matt moved closer to Tai until they were face to face. He leaned in and stuck his tongue through Tai's lips. Tai was visibly tensed and his eyes widened. Matt licked Tai's tongue and pushed the chocolate out of his mouth into Tai's before he pulled back and returned to his bed where he sat and licked his lips. "Those other chocolate taste terrible, Tai. How did you manage to keep them in your mouth for that long? I can taste mint, pineapple and fish. These girls must really be trying to kill me."
Tai was still frozen, now with his mouth closed, sucking on the piece of chocolate in his mouth. "Yama, I…Thanks." He gave a shy smile to which Matt smiled back and leaned back on his bed and switched on the music player with the remote.
"Don't think about it too much. I was just getting tired of hearing you say such terrible things about my extremely talented and hot best friend." Tai's mouth fell open and the chocolate rolled out.
Well, I tried to make that a little funny but it didn't end up like that… Oh well, enjoy!
