Chapter 6: Savin' Me

"Prison gates won't open up for me,

On these hands and knees I'm crawlin'

Oh, I reach for you.

Well I'm terrified of these four walls,

These iron bars can't hold my soul in

All I need is you."

"Come in." said Matt, hearing the knock at his door. The door opened to reveal Tai, smiling. Matt smiled back. "Hey, you. What's up?" he asked. Tai shrugged, and took a step in the door. Matt looked at him expectantly.

"You know, you don't have to stand there. I'm not gonna bite." he said. Tai smiled and walked over, sitting next to Matt. Matt leaned over and nipped on his ear. Tai leaped back.

"Much." he added, smiling. Tai frowned. Matt laughed. He placed his guitar on its stand, and turned back to his boyfriend. "Did you hear the song?" he asked. Tai nodded, and gave a thumbs up. Matt smiled. Then Tai pulled out a sheet of paper, and Matt read it.

'Sora wants to know if we want to go for lunch with her, Izzy and Joe.' Matt shrugged.

"I guess." he said. Tai smiled, and looked at the clock. It was 12:30. He turned to Matt and held up one finger.

"One o'clock?" he asked. Tai nodded. "Sounds good." They both agreed, and left, wanting to do a few things before they met up with the others.

: : :

1:00 came, and soon Tai and Matt were seated in the small diner, Sora and Izzy across from them, Joe to their left. They spent an hour and a half laughing and talking about nothing in particular. Even Matt, who never really enjoyed human contact, had a good time.

When they had finished they decided to go to the amusement park at the pier. Tai had never been there before, and Matt decided it was a good time to show him what it was like. The first thing Matt dragged Tai onto was the biggest roller coaster there, called the Gut Grinder. Matt could tell Tai was nervous by the look on his face. He smiled and leaned down.

"It'll be fine. I won't let anything happen to you, I promise." he said. Tai looked at him for a moment before smiling and nodding. They finally got on, each car seating two people. The minute the bar locked in place, Tai tensed up. Matt looked at him, concerned for the first time. Tai was really afraid. Matt immediately felt bad. He slid his hand around Tai's smaller one.

"Relax, it'll be over soon." he said. Tai nodded, and slowly started to loosen up. The roller coaster started moving, and before long Tai was actually enjoying the ride. When they stopped, Tai and Matt stepped off and walked towards the others.

"Have fun?" asked Sora. Matt and Tai both smiled and nodded. Then he realized they were still holding hands. Both blushed slightly, but they didn't let go. After everyone decided to leave, Matt and Tai both walked back to the blonde's house. There was no one home, so Matt and Tai sat in the living room. Tai was looking at Matt silently. When the blond finally noticed, he looked over at his boyfriend questioningly.

"What's up?" he asked. Tai grabbed a piece of paper and a pen and scribbled a note for Matt.

'Why do you love me?' Matt's eyes widened, and he looked back at the brunette.

"Why…what do you mean? Don't you believe that I love you?" he asked. When Tai didn't reply he went on.

"I love you because you are the most beautiful person I know. You're kind, and caring, and you always see the good in people. You're brave, and smart, and no matter what, you are there for your friends. Even when we first met, you were nice to me after I treated you so badly. Tai, I love you because…because I can't imagine my life without you in it anymore." he said. When he finally finished he noticed tears rolling down Tai's cheek, which caused the cover-up on his face to come off. Matt smiled.

"Do you believe me now?" he asked. Tai smiled and nodded, throwing himself at Matt and kissing him like never before. Matt didn't hesitate to return it. Suddenly there was a knock at the door, and Matt went to answer it. Tai followed him this time, and was surprised to see the same boy from before, Matt's…drummer? Tai couldn't remember. He stepped in and caught sight of Tai.

"Oh, sorry. I didn't realize he was here. Maybe I'll come back…wait a minute." he took a few steps towards Tai and stared at him. "Is he wearing…make-up?" Tai's eyes went wide, and his face turned red. The boy started laughing.

"He is! Oh my god, that's priceless. Matt, you didn't tell me your boyfriend was a pretty-boy!" he gawked. Tai turned and ran into the bathroom. Matt glared at the other boy.

"What the hell is your problem?" he demanded. The boy returned the glare.

"What do you even see in that freak? I mean, he doesn't talk, and he wears make-up? Seriously, what- " he didn't finish. Matt's fist connected with his face, and he staggered back, nose bleeding.

"You bastard! That's it, your done! We're kicking you out of the band!" he said. Matt smirked.

"Kicking me out of my own band? Can you even do that?" he asked. The boy glared.

"If the band comes to a consensus, you must leave. And we have, so you're out. Good luck with the rest of your life." he said. Matt just sighed.

"Whatever, but you guys aren't keeping the name. I payed for the trademark, I'm keeping it." he said. The boy shrugged.

"Fine, we'll need a new name anyways. We'll be a new band after all." he replied. Then he left. Matt sighed again.

"Let's see how long they last." Then he turned and went into the bathroom to find Tai looking at himself in the mirror. He looked up at Matt, then turned away, trying to hide his face. Matt smirked.

"Come on, stop hiding." he said. Tai turned back. Matt smiled.

"I think I might have some extra you can borrow. I always have some in case I ever get a black eye or something. My dad hates seeing me hurt, so I don't let him. It probably isn't the same shade, but it'll do for now." he said. Tai shook his head. He grabbed a cloth, wet it, and wiped the make-up away, revealing the pale scars beneath.

'No more hiding.' thought Tai. He turned to Matt, who simply smiled and nodded.

"I think they look kind of cool. Even cute." he said. Tai blushed, making his scars turn a pale pink. It did look cute.

Tai was beautiful, and Matt wanted that cuteness all to himself.

Forever.
