I don't own
Sorry I didn't upload as soon as possible. Oh, and before I forget, I put a link to my deviant account on my profile; there aren't any digi-pics, but random things and my kitty!
To tell you the truth, this story is really hard for me to write, this is the first time I'm actually trying to write in a guys point of view, and I don't wont it to sound unrealistic like 'I'm madly in love with her'…because most guys aren't like that, at least my brothers aren't, I believe it takes longer for guys to actually be in love, I'm not saying they're never in love at first, but Matt doesn't seem like the type to move fast when it comes to love… hence why I made them start out as little kids when I made this story, and I'm hoping it'll gradually seem more and more like love and try my hand at oblivious frustration.
Chapter six
You know that annoying searing pain you get right after someone punches you in that place only guys have… that's how my head feels and the moment…
Jesse is over (along with Kari and Ann) and decided to cook… I later found out the food she cooked was not only undercooked, but also over the exasperation date… so I'm in bed with all three girls taking care of me… well more like Kari's taking care of me, Ann's just staring at me and Jesse ran off to play with our other neighbor's new puppy.
"Oh matt, I'm so sorry that your sick, it's all my fault." Ann cried, combing her fingers through my hair.
"No it's not." Though it really was, she was the one who told Jesse to cook me something while we spent time together (Kari hadn't came yet, she had to do some things before she came). So I being the idiot I am actually ate the putrid food…
"Matt, I made some tea, how are you feeling?" Kari asked as she came into the room with a tray.
"Do you really have to ask?" I sighed, sitting up and taking the mug she offered me.
"I called Tai; he'll be here in a bit to take you to the hospital." Kari stated I would have been happy to hear that if I didn't hate hospitals, and I would have been happy to see Kari's smiling face if Ann wasn't pulling at my hair.
"Oh goodie…" I said then felt the odd sensation of the room moving, "D-do you mind if I just stay here and sleep." My voice seemed to talk without me wanting it to. I clutched my head and felt my mug of tea spill onto the bed.
"Matt! Matt!" Ann screamed and everything seemed to grow dark as I tried to look around the room, my eyes slowly locking with Kari's then closed.
-
"Man, what's that smell?" I heard Tai's voice as I came to.
"Hey, be more nice to him, Jesse poisoned him." Ann said. I groaned and turned over to stare at the wall, "you see, you're making it worse."
"I see you joined the Matt fan club…" Tai said, "But really, that smell is horrible."
"Yeah, after he passed out he threw up a little." Kari said. I felt a cold hand pat my head.
"Well there's nothing I can do." I can imagine the sweat drops, "He'll be fine by tomorrow, and knowing our matt he won't like going to the hospital, he's get's so paranoid when he goes I remember this one time-"
"Brother, it may be fun to hear your lovely stories, but we have to get him cleaned up and get home before mom gets worried." Kari said, "Though I'm still kind of worried about him, do you mind if we both stay here, I'll stay in the living room while you get the extra futon." I tried to get the picture of Kari sleeping next to me out of my head… I'm only human!
"I want to stay too." Ann piped in. Dear god, please kill me if they allow her to.
"It wouldn't look right to your parents Ann, I just don't want them to think of there daughter in any wrong way." Kari said in a calm voice. She's really good at lying, I know she hates the younger girl, especially when she complains about things, she told me once, though not in so many words.
"But you're staying here." She wined.
"Well Matt's practically my brother." My stomach started to hurt again, augh, darn you Jesse.
"I wouldn't say brother, but close." I heard Tai say.
"Humph, fine, but I'm coming early in the morning to make him breakfast." Thank god I knew Ann never wakes up past noon on weekends.
"We'll leave the door unlocked Ann." I heard Kari's voice sweeten with every word, it was somewhat sickening.
"Hum, bye." I heard Ann growl then slam the door as she left, making me jump and hit the wall behind me as I came back down.
"Ow." I wined then turned to the siblings who stood there, the cold hand from before had been Tai's to my dismay.
"You're awake." Kari said, looking slightly startled. I sighed and sat up, I was kind of hoping I could get more sleep, but knowing them these days they'll most likely start a fight as soon as I fall asleep.
"Yeah." I said, rubbing my head.
"Man, you look like you got ran over, what happened?" Tai asked.
"Jesse made me lunch, I think she might have found some of that tuna dad made three weeks ago and mixed in what ever else she could find, she has a nack for making things look presentable." I murmured.
"That's sick, anyways, we're staying over tonight, you want something to eat?"
I glared at him, "I never want to see food again, especially when you're eating it." I growled and went back to starring at the wall.
"Aw come on, Kari's going to make us some spaghetti." Tai said.
"When did I say-"
"When I showed you that I conveniently bought noodles, tomato sauce, hamburger and peppers!" Tai said.
"But Matt's sick, shouldn't we make something healthier?" Kari stated.
"He doesn't care, do you matt?" Tai said, forcing me to look at him and Kari. I glared at him, "see, he's totally up for some Italian." Tai laughed and pulled me out of bed and out of my room.
"I really do hate you." I said as I was forced into my own living room.
"Try living with him." Kari whispered to me, making me laugh a little.
-
So dinner really didn't turn out to bad; luckily Kari was a better cook then her brother, mother and Jesse combined. I smiled as I watched them fight about some random topic. I wish I could fight with my brother sometimes, but even when we spent time together he was, and always will be the perfect guy.
I was lost in the moment when the phone rang, guess who!
"T.k., what's up?" I said, feeling less sick.
"open the front door brother." T.k. laughed.
"You're here!" I said my eyes somewhat wide.
"Yep, mom and Olivia are at the hotel, but I came here, let me in already, it's freezing out here."
I laughed then stood up hanging up the phone and dragging Kari with me to the front door (Tai walking behind looking oddly at his best friend). I opened the door and forced my brother in a hug.
"Whoa, hey Matt." T.k. said. I laughed slightly when I noticed how much taller he was compared to me now.
"T.k." Kari said, hugging him as well.
"You guys are here too; man this is too good to be true." T.k. said, ruffling Kari's hair.
"Yeah, Matt blew chunks while he and Kari were babysitting Jesse and Ann, so I came over to help." Tai said, taking T.k. into the apartment and leading him to the food.
"I thought you were going to be here next week." I said.
"Well, mom's job closed down early for winter so we decided to leave early as well, Olivia has to leave here before Christmas anyways so we might as well come early." T.k. said and sat down with a plate in hand.
"Oh, well then we should probably go then, don't want to be in the way." Kari said then stood.
"Oh, no, please stay, I haven't seen you guys in so long." T.k. said, standing as well.
"No really, mom's probably worried." Kari looked nervous, though I'm not sure why, T.k. was her best friend wasn't he?
"Yeah, she probably will be." Tai said, standing up, and doing the one thing that is so unlike him; he left his food.
"Well then, see you later."
-
"So why was Kari here?" T.k. asked as he turned over on the extra futon I had pulled out of my closet.
"She comes over sometimes to help me baby sit Jesse." I said while staring up at the ceiling.
"Why?"
"Huh?"
"Why is she helping you with Jesse, I mean her schedule isn't the emptiest in the world, I mean she's taking collage classes on the weekends and she's a straight 'A' student, when does she find time and why add the extra pressure." He had a point, I looked at Kari's grades, they were perfect and she had been taking collage credits, saying her teacher's were hinting on offering her an exchange program thing to England for next year, and there was the fact that she also found time to right those stories she liked… how was she fitting it all in, was she sleeping enough? Had she just stopped doing the things she liked just to help me? It seemed imposable for her to be able to do all this and still have time for me and Jesse.
"Hum, don't know…" I said after a while of pondering this.
"Maybe you should tell her to stop?" T.k. said.
"Huh?"
"Kari has this habit of taking on more then she can handle, I just don't want her to over work her self." T.k. was right, Kari would always do things for people with out question, and she never seemed to care if people paid her back or not, though in my mind I knew it was something else he was worrying about.
"Yeah… I'll see what I can do, night bro." I said and rolled over so I could stare at my wall.
"night." The room was silent for a while until I heard T.k.'s little murmurs he usually made when he was a sleep.
-
Hmm… sorry for making you wait, but on my behalf I have to say I so didn't take a year this time!... I still need to step up my game though, I'm the worst procrastinator you'll ever meet -.-
Oh, and it seemed like T.k. was acting like a jealous jerk… he wont be made out to be a bad guy in this story, he had always been one of my fav character in the original (the first season, he annoyed me a bit in season two… but then again so did most of the characters… which lead to my hatred of Sora… she had been my fav in season one until season two ruined it… well second to Kari that is)
Anyways, please review and tell me how much of an idiot I am (please don't, but if you really really want to I'll be glad to help you take out some pint up anger )… oh, and I have a fruits Basket fic I'm making that should be in the story holdery-thing soon behold the Momiji!
