Day Two-

Think Ugly Thoughts

"Morning Dai!" Tai exclaimed happily, tugging his school bag further up his back and beaming brightly.

"Uh, morning," Daisuke replied uncertainly, surveying the other brunette in surprise. He hadn't expected such a warm welcome, especially considering the events of the weekend. After all, the last time Daisuke had seen Tai was when he had spent the whole day leering over his boyfriend.

"I wanted to talk to you about something," the brunette said firmly, grabbing the younger boy by arm and tugging him towards a nearby picnic bench.

Daisuke gulped, stomach churning in panic. "Uh, talk about what?"

"This weekend." Tai plopped down on the bench tiredly, pulling the mahogany haired boy onto the seat next to him, before he had a opportunity to escape.

"This weekend? Yea, it was a great soccer match, don't you think?" Daisuke said quickly, feigning innocence.

"You enjoyed it then?" Tai asked politely, apparently oblivious to how Daisuke had begun to shift uncomfortably. "Which team scored then?"

Daisuke flushed, racking his brains to try and summon some sort of answer. However the only thing about the weekend he managed to recall, was Matt bending over to reach some glasses, exposing the top of his delicious ass. "Uh…well…I - uh…"

"You don't know, do you? Do you want to know why?" Tai asked sharply, all traces of friendliness having vanished from his expression.

"Actually I think I know why," Daisuke replied in a small voice, unable to meet the brunette's flashing eyes.

"Do tell."

"Well Ken and I spent a lot of the match talking to Matt. Friendly banter, you know?"

"Friendly?! FRIENDLY?!" Tai exploded, causing Daisuke to jump back in surprise. The brunette seemed to be growing increasingly unstable. "Leering at my boyfriend, is more than friendly!"

"I didn't mean to look, but he was being really flirty! I couldn't help it!"

"It's not that difficult!" Tai cried, glowering in anger. "Just don't look!"

"You were looking too!" Daisuke exclaimed defensively. "I bet you don't know the score either!"

Tai paused for a moment, opening his mouth to retort, before closing it again. Daisuke had a point. He didn't have a clue what the score was either.

"That's completely besides the point… I'm allowed to look. He's my boyfriend!" the brunette finally hissed, grabbing the younger boy by the collar and shaking him lightly.

"Uh, Tai?" Daisuke said timidly, glancing down at the whitening fist that was gripping his shirt. "Are you OK? You don't seem so good?"

"Oh, I'm fine. Flipping fantastic!" Tai replied sarcastically, releasing the other boy from his grasp. "Everything's brilliant! I mean, my boyfriend decided to flaunt himself in front of my so-called friends, who proceeded to drool all over him, but that's normal, right? And then my attempt to punish him, somehow means I'm the one suffering from lack of sex, despite him being the one in the wrong. Plus, to top it all off, it turns out that someone - namely YOU - has told everyone about my boyfriend's private tattoo!"

Daisuke blinked, attempting to process the agitated rant. "Oh."

"Yea, OH! Do you have anything to say for yourself?" Tai exploded, pointing a finger accusingly.

"Um…I'm sorry," the mahogany haired boy replied uncertainly, hoping that it wasn't going to set off the brunette once more.

But fortunately, Tai was interrupted before he had time to retort.

"Hey guys!" Sora exclaimed brightly, sliding onto the picnic bench with Izzy in tow.

Daisuke practically cried with relief. "Sora! Izzy! Hi!"

"Hi Dai," Izzy replied, glancing quickly at a stone-faced Tai. "Are you OK Taichi? You look really edgy?"

"Withdrawal symptoms," the brunette said simply, smiling tightly as Izzy nodded in understanding.

"Yea, I heard you weren't handled this no-sex thing very well," Sora chimed helpfully.

"Understatement of the century," Daisuke muttered, throwing the brunette a irritated glance.

Tai rolled his eyes, resisting the urge to hit something. "Ok I may have overreacted slightly, but I'm stressed! Besides, you deserved it!"

"Oh! Is this about Matt's tattoo?" Sora interrupted, despite the warning looks that Daisuke was sending her way.

Tai growled, rounding on the younger boy once more. "Is there anyone you haven't told?!"

"Umm…Ken."

"That's just because he was there and saw it anyway," Sora interjected, causing Daisuke to slam his head down onto the table in exasperation. He thought that having Izzy and Sora there would help him with Tai, but so far, they were only making things worse.

"So…how was shopping yesterday?" Izzy asked, attempting to divert the conversation away from Matt's tattoo.

Tai sighed, mind flashing back to the fiasco in the changing room. Considering their argument, it was a small wonder that Matt had managed to pick an outfit at all, as Tai had initially claimed that they all looked terrible. However after their make-up, the brunette did insist that Matt had in fact looked hot in them all, despite his earlier comments.

"The shopping could've been better. But Matt did eventually get the clothes for his concert," Tai replied, smiling slightly.

"The concert's tomorrow, right?" Sora asked, popping a chewing gum into her mouth.

Tai nodded.

"But that's a school night. Why did they put it on a Tuesday?" Daisuke wondered, looking at the other three in confusion. Tuesday didn't seem like the ideal night to have a rave up to him.

Sora laughed. "So people don't stay out all night and get drunk."

"Oh…well that makes sense."

"Looking forward to the concert then Tai?" Izzy asked, hoping to cheer up the brunette.

"Oh yea. I'm sure Tai can't wait to watch the entire female population of the school, throw themselves over his boyfriend," Sora replied with a wicked grin, oblivious to Tai's nasty scowl.

"Shh!" Daisuke whispered to the redhead, glancing at the brunette pointedly, who seemed to be glowing in anger once more. "I don't think he's in the mood for jokes!"

Sora shrugged helplessly, but chose to remain silent, figuring it would be safer until the brunette had calmed down. Only when Tai's rigid posture deflated and face relaxed, did anyone dare speak.

"Well anyway…we better get to class. School's starting in a moment," Izzy said at last, glancing at his watch quickly.

"Calm it Izzy," Tai replied, rolling his eyes. "We've still got ten minutes. Besides, I don't want to go into school until absolutely necessary."

"Why not?" Sora asked, raising her eyebrows in confusion. She knew that Tai wasn't exactly the most enthusiastic person when it came to lessons and hard work in general, but he seemed even more reluctant than usual.

"Because I have to avoid Matt," the brunette replied.

Izzy groaned, shaking his head in disbelief.

"Uh… why?"

"Because he's planning something." Tai banged his hand down on the table dramatically, causing everyone to jump in surprise. They all stared at the brunette warily, somewhat taken back by his sudden burst of anger. "I know it!"

"Actually - for once - I think Tai might be right. Matt did say something about getting payback when I spoke to him this morning," Sora said thoughtfully, ignoring the small choke of surprise that issued from the brunette.

"See! I knew it! I have to avoid him at all costs!"

"Yea, good luck with that! Your certainly going to need it, considering he's in all your lessons!" Sora laughed, unfazed by the scowl Tai sent her way.

"Watch and learn, Sora. Watch and learn," the brunette replied, mind whirling with escape plans. "Besides, it's not like Matt would try anything in class, right?"

Sora, Daisuke and Izzy all exchanged doubtful glances, unsure of whether or not to reply.

"What? He wouldn't," Tai insisted, looking at his friends uncertainly. "Would he?"

Daisuke raised his eyebrows, mind flashing back to the weekend. "Yes Tai. I think he would."

Slightly wary after Sora's warning, Tai shuffled reluctantly into homeroom, eyes flashing from side to side, desperately attempting to identify a head of golden hair.

Understandably, it didn't take Tai long to find who he was looking for.

Sitting in the back row with an angelic-like smile, was Yamato, eyes gleaming with mischief. His hair was glowing in the morning light, face flushed with happiness, with the top few buttons of his shirt undone casually.

The mere sight of him had Tai choking with want.

However, his hungry gaze didn't go unnoticed. Matt winked sexily in the brunette's direction, whose eyes instantly widened in horror.

"I need the toilet!"

Spinning on a heel, the brunette fled straight back out the door, giving the teacher a small wave of explanation. He practically ran to the loo, afraid that the blond was somehow following him. The brunette then proceeded to sit in a cubicle for at least fifteen minutes, until he reluctantly realised that he would not be able to hide forever.

However, it certainly didn't stop him from trying.

During the first two lessons of the day, Tai swapped seats, opting to sit next to Izzy and suffer endless lectures on Quantum Physics, rather than sitting with the blond. The fact that he could copy all the answers when he sat next to the redhead, was only an added bonus.

All in all, Tai found the change quite pleasant.

It was only during third period, when he found he couldn't trade seats, did the brunette change his tactics.

As soon as he realised he would have to sit next to his boyfriend, he immediately raced out the classroom, claiming to have come down with a sudden bout of Smallpox.

The school nurse however, didn't seem to take kindly to his non-existent deadly disease.

The brunette was sent back to Maths ten minutes later, head hung is shame. How was he supposed to know that people couldn't get Smallpox anymore? If it wasn't for the small matter of vaccinations, it would have been a perfectly good excuse.

Nevertheless, other than the Smallpox disaster, his avoidance of Matt proved to be quite successful. He would ignore the blue-eyed gaze during lessons, and whenever he saw the blond approaching in the hallway, he would dive around a corner, or in one case, into a locker.

It was only during the last lesson, that Tai ran out of excuses.

Stumbling grudgingly into his History class, he suddenly realised he could avoid the blond no more.

He collapsed tiredly into his seat, ignoring the small smirk from the blond haired boy already sat next to him.

Matt had finally succeeded in cornering him, and this time, Tai saw no means of escape. Their creepy-ass teacher would never let him move seats so late in the term, and there was no way he could go to the nurse's office again. She didn't even believe him the first time he said he was ill. Not that Tai could blame her. He hadn't exactly been the most convincing of patients.

Growling slightly in annoyance, the brunette finally sighed in defeat and began to unpack his bag, staring determinedly away from his grinning boyfriend.

"All right class, settle down," their teacher said loudly, cutting off Matt's chance to say anything suggestive to the brunette. "Everyone looking at the board please. That includes you Mr Yagami … looking at Mr Ishida is not going to help you pass History."

Tai groaned. He couldn't believe he had started staring again. He hadn't even noticed.Did he have no self-control?

"Yes Tai. Naughty naughty," Matt whispered huskily, smirking in satisfaction. "Are you trying to get punished?"

Tai threw him a dangerous look and turned back towards the teacher, attempting to immerse himself in the lesson. However, he couldn't help but glance suspiciously to his side every few moments, checking to see whether the blond was behaving himself.

At first glance it seemed that he was. Big blue eyes were focused intently on the board, pale slender hand poised to take notes. Only by studying the blond closely, did Tai see Matt's soft pink tongue dart out of his mouth, licking his lips slowly and suggestively.

Turning bright pink, the brunette turned away quickly, burying his face in a textbook.

However Tai's hasty actions didn't seem to go unnoticed, as the teacher surveyed him suspiciously, narrowing her eyes. "Mr Yagami, your textbook appears to be the wrong way round."

"Uh… yea. I knew that," the brunette replied, grinning sheepishly.

The teacher raised her eyebrows in disbelief, but turned around nevertheless, continuing to write on the board.

"Perhaps the best Indian victory on the Great Plains was at the battle of Little Bighorn, where Custer led hundreds of soldiers into an Indian trap…"

Tai blinked distractedly, desperately trying to stay focused on what the teacher was saying. However, despite his better judgement, he was beginning to find watching Matt much more interesting than the actual lesson.

Mentally kicking himself, Tai realised if he continued the way he was going, he was going to turn into his own boyfriend's stalker. He was even beginning to worry himself with his growing obsession.

Nonetheless, it didn't stop the brunette from glancing at his boyfriend once more, who seemed to be revelling in the attention. He had stretched his arms up above his golden head, causing the bottom of his shirt to lift up above his navel. The smooth soft skin of Matt's stomach was soon completely revealed, causing Tai to drool all over his desk.

Unfortunately, his staring was once again interrupted.

"Mr Yagami!"

Jumping about three foot into the air, Tai swivelled back towards the front, scratching his head sheepishly. The teacher was bearing down on him, arms crossed in annoyance.

"Uh…sorry. I'm listening, I'm listening," the brunette insisted, choosing to ignore the triumphant grin that was stretched mockingly over Matt's pale features.

He growled at himself for being so foolish, but focused on the board, determinedly ignoring the blond. His boyfriend however, seemed to have other ideas.

"Bored yet?" Matt whispered into his ear, leaning into his boyfriend far more than was necessary. He was pressed flush against Tai's side, so close that the brunette could smell his musky sent. "I could liven things up for you?"

Before Tai could even respond, a slim hand gripped his knee, instantly sending shivers down his spine. Somewhere in the back of his mind alarm bells were ringing, but the unexpected contact had thrown him completely through a loop. He had no idea what to do.

Choking slightly on his own spit, Tai glanced around nervously, checking to see whether anyone had noticed his flaming face. But like he had been only a few seconds before, the rest of the class were sat staring unenthusiastically into space, oblivious to anything other than their own daydreams.

Breathing deeply in relief, the brunette tried to compose himself, attempting to appear calm and collected in front of his smirking boyfriend.

However the blond seemed to have other ideas. He wanted to watch Tai squirm.

Moving his hand further up the brunette's leg, Matt refrained from chuckling as his boyfriend turned an unnatural shade of red. He caressed the inside of his thigh in small circular motions, enjoying the hitching of his boyfriend's throat.

Within minutes, Tai was practically gasping for breath, attempting to remain as inconspicuous as possible. He thought of everything but Matt's hand, trying desperately to beat back his growing arousal.

'Teacher in a bikini. Teacher in a bikini.'

'Izzy in a bikini. Izzy in a bikini!'

'Sora in a bikini! Sora in a bikini!'

However when Matt's hand moved slowly upwards, straight towards his crotch, he could no longer contain himself. The frustration and stress of the punishment seemed to mount on top of him, until he could bear it no more.

"STOP IT!"

Instantly thirty heads all turned to regard the brunette, disturbed from their daydreams. The teacher's face had twisted into an evil scowl, face glowing with anger.

"Mr Yagami! What is the problem?!" she hissed, throwing down her board pen in exasperation.

Matt choked back laughter.

"Uh… no problem. Matt was just trying to borrow my pen, that's all." Tai chuckled uneasily, painfully aware that Matt's hand was still resting innocently on his thigh. "Carry on!"

Glaring viciously at the blond, Tai batted the hand away from his leg violently, while giving the teacher an angelic smile.

She merely frowned. "Right class, back to work."

Sighing in relief as everyone buried their heads back into their textbooks, Tai accidentally on purpose poked Matt in the ribs, ignoring the small cry of pain he received in response.

"No need to get violent," the blond chuckled lightly, stroking the inside of Tai's thigh with a dainty finger once more.

The brunette hissed angrily, throwing the hand off his leg for the second time.

Matt merely grinned. "I think your supposed to be copying the stuff off the board, Tai. I've already finished, which means I can do whatever I like!"

Tai's stomach sank, recognising the suggestive tone of his boyfriend's voice. It was enough to send shivers down anyone's spine.

Trying with difficulty not to gulp in fear, the brunette proceeded to note down the writing on the board, gritting his teeth as a slender hand crawled back up his thigh. He desperately attempted to shake it off with a jiggle of his leg, but it continued upwards nonetheless, gently cupping his arousal.

As he melted reluctantly into the touch, the classroom began to spin around him, only heightening his mounting pleasure. He forgot all about the punishment, the classroom and even his teacher. All that mattered was Matt's hand, slipping quickly into his pants.

Tai refrained from moaning, but tilted his head back, eyes closed in ecstasy.

Matt was caressing lightly, teasing the brunette to absolute breaking point. The tension in Tai's body was palpable, despite his best efforts to remain discreet. The pleasure was building up inside of him, ready for an explosion, until he was barely an inch from release.

"Mr Yagami!"

Tai's head snapped up, mouth gaping in surprise.

"Are you listening, Mr Yagami?" the teacher asked, eyes narrowed into slits. "Because it doesn't look like you are."

"I'm listening…honestly," Tai squeaked, voice around ten pitches higher than usual. He wiped the sweat off his brow, hand shaking as Matt squeezed his arousal mockingly.

The teacher folded her arms, gaze disbelieving. "Then tell me Mr Yagami, who led his men into an Indian attack?"

The brunette glanced around quickly, eyes falling onto the notes that Matt had copied.

"Cock - I mean Custer," Tai corrected hastily, face flaming in embarrassment.

Matt spluttered with laughter, quickly withdrawing his hand.

The teacher however, did not look so amused. "If you had been paying attention, you would have been able to consult your own notes Mr Yagami. So… do you want to explain to me why you are not listening?"

Tai gulped. "Uh…"
