Warning: I've seen the Digimon shows until Izzi's adventures as leader with TK's team, once. So it's pretty much AU and major OOC because I have very little memory of it. Major sap, possible Mpreg (if it does happen, it won't be the usual nine months with baby at the end) angst and oh yes, pretty plot less

Title: The Fool On the Hill (from the Beatles song)
Pairing: obviously most incredibly sappy Yamato Ishida/ Jyou Kiddo.
Taichi Kamiya/ Sora Takenouchi, Mimi Tachikawa/ OMC, etc.
Notes: If you have read my other fics, you know that I just write for the sake of Sap and hurt/comfort; you know that I don't start arcs chronologically either. More so, I'm not a prolific writer, but I need to finish what I start. I don't know when I'll finish this story. It's been going on for more than 10 years! This is a work in progress, meaning that at anytime I might go back to rewrite and polish this fic as I add chapters. If any of these things are peeves, then you shouldn't be reading this story. Cheers ^_^
The Fool on The Hil
3. Yes. Thank You.
(01.09.04)
Dawn was still blue and black, the room cool from the temperature drop of the night.
"Matt?"
"Yeah?"
Joe blinked. Matt sounded very much awake indeed.
"You're awake already?"
"hmm"
"Oh."
"You know that I don't sleep well when you feel sick."
Joe cleared his throat embarrassed.
There was a moment of silence.
"Are you really going to marry me?"
"Yeah."
"Oh." And Joe felt all giddy again. "Why?" he asked puzzled.
"Because I love you."
Joe grinned, "I do to, but a couple needs more than that" he added seriously.
"I know you're grinning"
Joe chuckled. They stilled silent for a while.
"And there's the fact that you won't be able to have kids, form a fam…"
"Joe" Matt admonished.
"But…"
Matt sighed, "We've talked about this before, many many times before" Matt sighed exasperatedly "You, my brother, my parents, our friends are plenty enough of a family. As for kids Joe, I love you and I wouldn't fathom a life without you, if that means that I won't live the life of the frustrated salary man and unsatisfied husband with the harpy wife and the acceptable two kids, my only joy in life by the way; oh well" he faked a remorseful tone "so be it."
Joe snickered. "Okay, I got you." He sighed boneless.
"You okay?"
"Yeah," sigh, " I just could sleep for a few more centuries. Which I don't understand why since I haven't done anything all day yesterday. Wait I haven't done anything for a good 3 years now." The brunette said sarcastically. He felt Matt squeeze his hand. "Okay," he said before Matt could speak. "I'm not exactly doing nothing. I'm back at school and I really like what I'm studying ", he deflated "Sorry…. I'm lucky. I know, I shouldn't complain."
"You need to take it easy. Not everybody needs to be Energizer Bunnies. I like the chill you." Matt whispered sadly.
"Oh Matt, I'm sorry..."
"I'm sorry you're having such a hard time…"
"Matt stop it, it's not true and you know it. You take care of me, you love me…I mean you moved away from your friends and family, except for Mimi that is, for me. I'm really happy Matt."
"They're your family and friends too." There was a long silence and Matt sighed when he didn't get a reply from Joe. "Your heart is fine, your lungs are good. And you don't have CFS like we feared. Your batteries just drain faster and need more fuel than others, it's fine."
"I know; it's just…" he laughed derisively, "It's just, believe it or not, it annoys me. I don't like sports, I hate it, but I find that I was still really active before." He paused. "When I need to take an elevator from the first floor to the third to get to my next class less I get a freaking stroke in the stairs…It's pretty emasculating."
Matt didn't know what to say. He had to be honest with himself, in Joe's situation he would have gone crazy, probably wouldn't have been livable. Especially knowing that it wouldn't change. His job demanded a lot of stamina and energy, being a rock star wasn't all glamour and fun. He couldn't fathom doing anything else but the TW's.
"Granted that Uni is so full of lazy asses that I manage to still turn up late to classes." He chuckled.
The sun had fully risen and Joe sighed as a cool breeze wafted in. He enjoyed the fact that he could take in a fully unhindered breath. He dozed for a minute in the comfortable silence lingering after their whispered talk. He didn't have class until later that day, but he still needed to proofread a paper and he needed to wash of that disgusting grease. He grimaced as he let his hand fall on his chest, forgetting about the ointment.
Matt groaned and squeezed him around the waist, yawning into his pillow, "Mornin'"
"Morning," Joe rolled on his side to lean on an elbow and touched his boyfriend's lips for a good morning kiss which quickly turned into passionate as Matt rolled on his back gently pulling the brunette down to him with a hand buried in the thick ebony hair. Joe let the hand behind his head guide him over the warm chest of the man below as his attention was held by the spirited dance of their tongues. When they parted both their breaths were short and his chest was pulling up Matt's stuck t-shirt.
"This is disgusting," Joe whispered as he dropped kisses to Matt's neck, moving back up to gently worry his earlobe.
Matt gasped, arching a bit under him, his hand sliding on Joe's greasy back. "Uhun"
"You're not putting that hand on my dick," Joe licked under his ear, satisfied by the full body shudder his ministrations brought about. "Shower!"
Joe rolled off the bed and swiftly walked to the bathroom, Matt taking the time to groan at the cruelty of being separated from that warm pliant body before hastily running after his fiancé. He stopped a second in his mad dash as the idea just settled in his mind. Fiancé! As in future husband! A shit-eating grin broke his face in half as he stalked into the bathroom, straight to the shower and jump the dark haired man while he played with the faucets getting the temperature just right. Joe jumped up almost banging his head on the low shower head.
"Matt! What are mmm!" he melted as the blonde turned him around and savaged his mouth with a soul-searching kiss. Joe's back arched as their erections rubbed sending warm fire down his legs and up his stomach to settle in his abdomen. He moaned as he slightly pulled back to softly nip Matt's full lips. Mat pressed their chest together, one hand slipping between to scrape the pert nipple of his dark lover while the other slid down his back to squeeze a bum. Joe threw his head back at the sudden jolt that ran through his chest feeling his skin frizzle with electricity and almost drowned himself with the jet of the shower coming down his face. Matt quickly turned them away and pinned them to the far wall so that the spray was beating his back shielding Joe.
"Okay?" he asked breathlessly.
Joe nodded chocking and laughing at the same time, his dark eyes sparkling up at him and Matt felt warmth settle in his chest as too many emotions at once strangle his breath in his throat. Suddenly he was on his knees and was sucking harshly at the tip of the dark Japanese's arousal; an unexpected urgency engulfed him, suddenly he couldn't wait any longer and had to bury himself in the warm intimacy of his boyfriend. Joe emitted a gasping wheeze at the sudden move and soon he couldn't stop the harsh bucking of his hips. His face scrunched up grunting with exertion, his jaw locked although he couldn't feel his teeth anymore, quickly he felt himself reaching the peak, the telltale warmth simultaneously spreading from his warm abdomen, a fire suffusing his whole being. A sob escaped him foretelling the intensity of the orgasm that was going to crash down on him any second now.
Matt quickly stood up, recognizing the signs and feeling Joe's nails dig in his shoulders. He watched his lover flushed face and glazed eyes as he pumped the cum out with a vigorous fist. He smoothly pressed a knee between Joe's legs as he collapsed boneless, emitting the sexiest moans of contentment. His unsatisfied desire pressed between their stomach; Matt gave an involuntary shudder and had to calm himself not to come right this moment, Joe's dark hair plastered on his face and warm body encircling him. He took a sperm slick hand to Joe's backside and inserted two fingers. His fiancé was so relaxed that two became three in the space of a couple strokes and without further ado he gripped the dark man's hips, pushing his legs open a bit more and encased himself in the warm sheets in one swift stroke. His head fell in the crook of Joe's neck and he slowly started thrusting mindful of the man's comfort although all he wanted at the moment was to fuck the man into next week.
He felt Joe slide his arms round his neck and lift his legs round his hips. Matt braced his feet on the shower mat thanking God that they HAD a shower mat or else they would have died of broken necks some time ago. His feet securely planted he adjusted Joe's position with a small jump, Joe might be slim but he had heavy bones. They both gasped as Joe felt Matt hit his prostate and Matt felt Joe tighten around him. Sure that they wouldn't crack their skull, Matt concentrated on finding a rhythm which he quickly achieved and sped up his trusts. Joe's head hit the tiled wall as he leaned it back and closed his eyes, quietly moaning at the heat each hit to his g-spot enticed, his dick was paying attention again and was now trapped between their stomachs, the friction sending an intense fire up his chest. He was so hot, heat emanated in waves from both their bodies and he shivered a wave of dizziness embracing him as stars starting to burst behind his closed lids as Matt started sucking his nipples scraping them with his teeth. Joe bucked with a loud groan as he felt himself spiraling down a dark hole as his temple pounded and a savage orgasm was ripped out of him.
At this point Matt was fucking Joe into the shower wall. He pressed Joe to him as he squashed his face in his chest a scream ripping out of his throat as Joe's innards squeezed him so hard he could hardly move and he felt himself reach the peak of orgasm with a crash Joe's convulsions pulling it out of him.
Minutes later Matt came to half sitting, half lying in the basin, Joe a dead weight wrapped half-hazard over him as they gasped for breath, the dull water of the shower cooling their heated skin and plastering his blonde hair in his face. How they hadn't broken their necks he didn't know, because he couldn't feel his legs anymore. Right, he was never doing this again. Although it would have been a fantastic way to kick the bucket.
He weakly pushed his hair back and pulled Joe up right pushing the head that had been resting on his stomach back to look at the glazed eyes in the slack face.
He watched as the eyes rolled back and the lids slid shot. Out cold. Right, Joe had no energy what so ever to perform these kind of acrobatics away from the safety of bed.
Matt sighed, he wasn't much better. He carefully propped Joe in a corner so as both walls held him up and crawled on shaky arms and legs to the faucets and closed them. He then reached for their towels, after three tries he was able to pull his down and he let fall on the floor. He crawled onto it and once he adjusted the towel as best he could with marshmallow arms he pulled Joe out of the basin and let the man fall on him. He hugged him with unfeeling arms shaky with exhaustion and just conked out.
An hour later Joe was surprised to wake up on the bathroom floor with Matt's loud snoring in his ears. He rolled off Matt and lay at his side his head on his chest listening to the steady thumps and sighed contentedly. Registering the movement the slumbering man stirred.
"Morning again," Joe whispered.
Matt groaned and chuckled all at the same time.
"What brought this about" Joe asked curious about the unusual intensity of their lovemaking.
"Fiancé…" Matt muttered.
Joe eyebrows shut up. "Wow" he quietly breathed "Gonna have to promise you marriage more often!"
Matt snorted.
"I guess that I have to get you a ring. It's official isn't it?"
"Damn right."
Joe chortled before leaving a resounding kiss on Matt's cheek and leaving him on the floor to go get dressed and prepare a late breakfast.
Matt blinked, "Hey! You leaving me here when I made sure we didn't fall asleep in the shower and drown?"
Joe response was to laugh.
"Come on help me up" Matt whined.
"Get your lazy ass up the floor by yourself; I'm going to make breakfast." Joe called happily from the bedroom voice already retreating as he walked out into the hall.
"You cruel man," Matt yelled back. And grumpily picked himself up the floor.
Two hours later Matt was driving Joe to university for his late afternoon classes.
"I'll be staying late again tonight."
Matt didn't say anything.
Joe sighed "Don't worry so much Matt. I'll be fine and I really, really need to get ahead in my project. Now that I've found the direction I want to follow I want to have at least ten paintings ready for the showing and I only have three months! The hardest will be the two commissions I got…"Joe became giddy "Can you imagine Matt! My first showing and I already have commissions; Just based on my school work and my sketches."
Matt's frown turned into a grin and he laughed at Joe's rosy cheeks, such a childish sign of excitement, but so damn cute and funny on such a serious man. Sometimes Matt thought that Joe was growing up all backwards, he became an adult first and just now, during those two last years, he was starting to live his childhood.
How could he stay mad, it was so adorable.
However, he'd cut rehearsal short tonight. He didn't like to have Joe alone in the Art department late at night. Now that he'd find his true calling, when Joe was involved in a project his concentration was so tenacious that he was dead to the world, a bomb could exploded right beside him and he wouldn't even realize he'd died. He wasn't strong enough to defend himself yet and Joe didn't even have to think of taking the late night bus to go back home.
"I'll come by at nine, there will still be students around at this time?"
"Yeah" Joe slid a sly look towards Matt. He knew what this was all about, but since TW were just drafting their next album it wasn't too bad if Matt cut the nights short.
"I'll bring supper", because he knew that Joe would have skipped it by then.
They arrived at school and Matt stopped the car, after Joe undid his seat belt he leaned over and kissed the ebony haired man soundly on the mouth. Joe laughed while Matt took his hand to squeeze it, giddy that Joe was so happy. It was his life's purpose to make this man happy and obviously the move to Los Angeles had been a very good first step towards achieving his goal.
"You'll be alright?" Joe's hand was shaking slightly in his.
His boyfriend smiled "I'll be fine, I'm just a little tired. No Matt" stopping the blond man from speaking "I'm fine, really trust me. I'll see you later. Now go work and earn us a living." He said while opening the door.
He climbed out of the car and walked around it towards the school entrance and waved at Matt. Matt waved back and started the car shaking his head at his stubborn lover.
