The Next Morning
'God why is my arse so sore?' Tai thought to himself
Tai grunted with pain when he tried to move
"Hey Tai, are you feeling okay?" Matt asked groggily
"Yeah Matt, just a little bit sore after yesterday's 'activities'" Tai replied
"You gonna be okay to walk on your own?"
"Yeah, I just need a little time to get used to it"
Later that Morning
Tai was limping out in the kitchen
"Tai, did Matt get a little bit rough on you last night?" Kari asked giggling
"Ha-ha, very funny Kari, wait until your first time" Tai replied
Kari gulped
"You haven't done it already have you?"
"No Tai, of course not, what do you think I am a whore?"
"No Kari, I am just asking"
"Anyway Tai, how do you feel?"
"A part from being a little bit sore okay, content and loved."
"That's good for you Tai"
Later that night
"Kari, can I have a talk to you?" Tai asked
"Sure Tai, what's up?"
"I think that Matt regrets what we did yesterday." Tai stated
"Why?"
"Matt has been avoiding me all day, he hates me I know it." Tai said sobbing
"No, Tai of course Matt doesn't hate you"
"How could you possible know Kari?"
"I'll have a talk to Matt tomorrow for you. Okay?"
"Thanks Kari, night"
"Alright night, Tai."
The Next Morning
"Matt?"
"What's up Kari?"
"You and I need to have a talk now"
"Kari, I am kinda busy"
"Well too bad Matt, don't make me drag you outta here" Kari threatened
"Okay, okay" Matt conceded
The Talk
"Matt, why are you ignoring Tai?"
"Kari, I am not ignoring him" Matt replied
"Yes, you are Matt"
"When?" Matt asked confused
"Yesterday, Tai said that you were completely avoiding him after the day before yesterday"
"Well there was a reason for that" Matt replied hesitantly
"Well I am waiting" Kari replied impatiently
"Okay Kari, I will tell you, but I need you to keep this a secret"
"Depends on what it is, can it hurt Tai."
"Maybe if he takes it the wrong way, but I hope that he doesn't"
"Okay, I suppose that I can keep your secret, but you need to act fast because Tai thinks that you hate him."
"What?" Matt asked distressed
"I said 'He thinks that you hate him'"
"He won't harm himself again? Will he?"
"No, Matt I don't think he will"
"Okay Kari I need to show you something, this is the reason that I avoided Tai yesterday"
Matt showed Kari an engagement ring
"Oh my god Matt, is that what I think it is?"
"Yes Kari, it is an engagement ring. But it is not going to be the same." Matt said sadly
"Why not Matt?" Kari asked confused
"Kari did you forget that gay marriage isn't legal in Japan, and we need permission from both of our parents. God I really hate myself at the moment." Matt started crying
Kari sat there cradling a crying Matt
'Maybe it's time for our surprise to come forward, but I need to talk to TK and Mr. Ishida'
"Ssh, Matt everything's gonna be okay."
"How?" Matt asked
"Just trust me" Kari replied
Matt exhausted himself crying and fell asleep in Kari's arms, and Kari took him to bed
"What did you do to him Kari?" Tai asked confusedly
"He told me the truth."
"Well what is it?"
"Sorry Tai, I promised Matt, i wouldn't tell you."
"Okay" Tai said defeated
"All I can say is that all will be told in due time"
Next Morning
"Matt, can we have a talk?" Matt's dad asked
"Sure Dad, what about?"
"Well you see I can't talk to you about it with Tai here"
Tai left the room, feeling left out
"Well Matt, me and TK have a surprise"
"What?"
"Now Matt, I know that it's none of my business what you do with Tai, but I get the feeling that you want to spend the rest of your life with him"
"What are you getting at Dad?" Matt asked thinking that Kari had told his father what he said to her yesterday.
"Well Matt, since Tai, Kari and TK were all abandoned by their 'guardians'."
"Yeah, what's that got to do with it?"
"Well you see all you four are now my kids, you are not bound to listen to your ex-parents anymore."
"That's great dad, we need to tell Kari, TK and Tai."
"TK and Kari already know"
"Why was I only told about this now?"
Then something fell out of Matt's pocket, the engagement ring
"Matt what's th..." Matt's dad then realised what it was
"Dad, I'm so sorry for not telling you" Matt said worried
"Matt?"
"What? Don't worry I'll leave. You're better off without me." With that Matt ran away
"Matt?" Kari asked
"Tai, you need to go after him, TK and I will deal with his father" Kari ordered
"Okay" With that Tai ran off full speed after Matt
At the apartment (Conversation between Kari, TK and Dad)
"What the fucking hell did you do?" Kari bellowed at her adopted father
"Now Kari, calm down" TK said trying to be a calming influence
"Just answer the question dad" TK said
"I have done nothing wrong" He stated
"Then why did Matt go running out of the house?" Kari questioned further
"Well you see something fell out of his pocket" Mr Ishida said indicating to his ring finger
"Oh" Kari finally understood
"What? Why the hell did Matt run out?" TK asked being completely left out of the loop
"Well, babe what do two people do when they love each other very much?" Kari asked
"Well, it's obvious, they have sex" TK replied
"Not what I was going for, TK"
"Well then what...Oh I get it now" TK said finally understanding what they were talking about
After an awkward silence
"So how do you feel about it TK, dad?" Kari asked hesitantly
"Well, I wasn't expecting it, but I will accept it, Matt is my son and I couldn't leave him now"
"TK? What do you think?"
"I think that I agree with mum"
"WHAT?" Kari screamed at him
"I said 'I think I agree with mu...'"
TK was stopped midsentence when he was slapped by Kari
"TK, how could you say something like that, Matt is your brother?"
"I'm sorry Kari, I was jealous that Matt has someone to love him unconditionally, and I am all on my own" TK cried
At the Park
Tai had just caught up with Matt, and his heart was going out to him Matt on the ground sobbing.
Tai cradled Matt in his arms and said "Ssh, Matt everything's gonna be okay"
"No it's not Tai, now my dad hates me"
"No he doesn't, you're over reacting"
"No, now everyone hates me, I just want everything to stop" Matt spoke aguishly
"No, Matt I wouldn't be able to function without you" Tai cried
They both sat there for the next half an hour crying into each others shoulders
When Matt and Tai returned they both headed straight to Matt's room, Tai turned around and he was greeted with the sight of Matt down on his knees
"Taichi Yagami, will you marry me?" Matt said with tears in his eyes
Tai just stood there stunned into silence
"Yes Matt, of course I will"
Matt let out a breath he didn't know he was holding
"I need to ask my dad if it's okay Tai"
"oksy"
"dad?" Matt asked hesitantly
"I already know what you are going to ask and the answer is yes, not just for you, but also because she [he said, pointing to Kari] scares me alot"
Matt just started laughing
"He said yes Tai"
"I love you so much Tai, never leave me"
"I won't Matt, but I need the same for you"
"I promise"
