I just love you guys. I never imagined that getting reviews would feel so great. Thanx to WildFire, Sapphire Goddess, Mr. man, That Girl, never*gonna*get*it, Black Goddess, daichi, and KoNy, for the new reviews.

A/N: Matt is 17. Tai is 18. TK is 8. ::Indicates Matt’s thoughts.::

Disclaimer: OK, I am currently in negotiations to purchase Digimon. But I still do not own Digimon. *sigh* But I’m optimistic!

*WARNING* This fic has non-consensual sex, violence, AND is Yaoi. Don’t like? Don’t read.

A/N#2: Did I warn ya’ll that this fic is going to be reeeeeally long? I have it written in a journal and so far it’s 75 pages long. And it’s still incomplete. I think I’ve made it through 6 pages. But I’ll try to update every day. Oh well, on with the story.

“Tai, I have something to tell you.” Matt said nervously.

“What is it Matt?” Tai gave Matt a warm smile.

“Well, um, I’m…….sorry. I didn’t mean to treat you like that. It’s just that….uh, I have trouble….communicating with people,” Matt was really nervous now, “Um, I’m afraid of getting close to others because…..Every time I’ve ever gotten close to another person, I end up getting hurt. So I try to push people away before I can get close to them.”

“It’s okay Matt. I understand and forgive you.”

“Um, there’s also something else I need to say.” Matt felt like he was going to hyperventilate, “I…love…you.”

Matt wanted to go hide in the corner. ::He definitely hates me now.:: He was surprised when he felt himself being taken into a warm embrace.

“I love you to Matt. I think I loved you since I first saw you.” Tai gently took Matt’s chin in his hand and slowly guided Matt’s lips toward his.

SLAM!

“HUH?” Matt woke up with a start, surrounded by darkness. ::HOLY FUCKING SHIT! It was just a dream!:: Matt quickly put his head back to his pillow hoping that he could quickly fall asleep and continue his dream. But he couldn’t get back to sleep. There was a strange thumping noise in the house. ::Footsteps! Dad came home!:: Matt jumped out of bed and raced out his bedroom toward the footsteps. He soon found his way to his father’s bedroom, but wasn’t pleased at what he found.

“Dad, what are you doing?”

“Go away boy.” Was all that Mr. Ishida said as he continue to shovel his clothing into a duffle bag.

“No, Dad, please don’t go. I’m sorry. I won’t pester you anymore.” Matt’s eyes were welling with tears. As much as he hated his father, Matt and TK still needed him.

“I said go away boy!”

Matt shut his mouth and watched his father in silence. The older man finished filling his bag with clothes and started gathering up everything of value. Next he pulled a box out from under the bed and took one of the two guns that was in it. His Father then went to the nightstand and took every bit of emergency money he had in there. Matt felt a tear roll down his left cheek and quickly wiped it away. ::Please don’t go.::

Mr. Ishida swept pass his son and towards the exit.

Matt ran after his father and grabbed his sleeve forcing Mr. Ishida to stop. “Dad, Stop! Please don’t leave me and TK. God, please.”

Mr. Ishida roughly shoved his son to the floor and raised his fist, ready to beat Matt senseless.

Matt braced himself for the blows, but they didn’t come. Matt slowly raised his eyes to meet his fathers. He was surprised to see his Fathers eyes had grown much softer.

Mr. Ishida lowered his fist slowly, “You look so much like your Mother,” he whispered and quickly left the building.

Matt sat at his desk, not asleep, like he usually was. He was wide awake now, millions of things running through his head all at once.

“Hey Matt, here’s the design I came up with for our poster.” Tai’s voice boomed into Matt’s subconscious. Matt just stared blankly ahead of him.

::shut up::

Tai turned the desk in front of Matt around and sat down. He held up the piece of paper in front of Matt’s face so that he would have to look at it. “So, what do you think?” No answer. No shrug. No nothing. Tai frowned.

::shut up::

“Hello! Earth to Matt? Is anyone home?” Still no reaction from Matt. It was like he was in a coma.

::shut up::

“Well, I was thinking I’d change the design anyway. Maybe I will put ‘Matt sucks’ in the center.” Still nothing.

::shut up::

“Your design fucking sucks Taichi,” Tai said in a mock Matt voice, “You make me sick.”

::shut up::

“Damn, I think I liked you better when I was getting hateful answers. At least I got some form of a response.”

::SHUT UP::

Tai grabbed Matt’s arm, “God, will you at least look at me?”

Matt ripped his arm out of Tai’s grasp, “Don’t you ever fucking shut up??? And don’t ever touch me again!”

Tai’s eyes grew wide at Matt’s reaction. Finally he sighed in defeat. “Fine,” he said and continue to work, alone, on the project.

::I don’t care that I fucking hurt him this time. Fuck him. Fuck everyone.::

The bell had finally rung for everyone to go home. Matt went to his locker and shoved all of his books in it. ::Fuck homework.::

“Hey kid, what the fuck’s your problem?”

Matt turned to see if the statement was directed towards him. It wasn’t. It was Keizo Tanaka, the school bully. Keizo never bothered Matt, but Matt still thought he was an asshole. Matt’s gaze drifted over to see Keizo’s next victim. ::No!::

“Isn’t there a special school for faggots like you? I don’t really care for fags much. You’re not eyeing me are you? I guess I’ll have to teach you a lesson.” Keizo cracked his knuckles and started to approach Taichi.

Tai took a few steps back, “Please don’t hurt me.”

Keizo grabbed a hold of Tai’s collar and lift him in the air. Then he raised his right fist threatening to hit at any moment. “Scared fag boy?”

“Please…” Tai begged, trying to free himself from Keizo’s grasp.

Matt bolted across the hallway. ::No, don’t hurt Tai!:: Matt grabbed Keizo’s fist and twisted his arm behind his back. Keizo loosened his grip on Tai’s collar causing Tai to fall to the ground. Matt took that opportunity to slam Keizo into the lockers.

“Don’t you ever lay another finger on him again. If you do, I’ll kill you.” Matt knocked him into the lockers again to emphasize his point. Matt released his grip and Keizo turned to face him. There was blood flowing from Keizo’s nose now. ::Good.::

“So, he has a boyfriend.” Keizo started laughing, “I’ll deal with you two fags later.” Keizo turned and walked away, leaving Matt alone with Tai.

Matt turned his attention back to Tai. Tai was on the floor crying. ::Why is he crying? Did he get hurt?:: Matt got down on his knees and put a hand on Tai’s shoulder, “Are you okay?”

Tai looked at Matt, sprang up to his feet, and ran as fast as he could away from Matt.

Whew. So have I completely annoyed ya’ll yet? I’m so mean to Matt. He’ll probably beat me up for making the beginning a dream. Hmmmm….one can only hope. Time for me to go to bed.
