Matt could faintly hear voices, as he tried to figure out why his head was throbbing. For that matter, it seemed like his whole body was throbbing. ::Oh yeah…got into a fight with Keizo.:: Matt tried to open his eyes, but only succeeded opening the right one. He noticed he was not outside anymore, but in the Nurse’s office. Both Taichi and the school Nurse were hovering over him, with similar expressions of concern. Matt gave a half smile, hoping to assure them that he was fine. “Hey, don’t worry. I’m okay.”
The Nurse shook her head, “You don’t look okay. I better call an ambulance.”
“No, really, I’m fine. Don’t call an ambulance!” Matt sat up, trying to ignore the pain surging through his body. ::You’d think I’d be use to this by now.:: He thought bitterly.
“Oh thank GOD!” Tai exclaimed, and wrapped his arms around the bruised blond.
Matt winced. “Ahhh! Not so tight Tai!”
“Oh…sorry Matt. I’m just glad you’re okay. I was so worried.”
The Nurse walked up to Matt, carrying a bottle of antiseptic. “Are you sure you’re going to be okay?”
“I’m fine. Never felt better.” Matt felt like shit, but he sure as hell didn’t want to go to a hospital.
“Well, this is going to sting a little.” The nurse said, as she started to pour some antiseptic on Matt’s scraped up arm.
Matt hissed in pain, as the liquid sizzled on his flesh. :: STING A LITTLE!? :: Matt decided that this pain was ten times worse than anything Keizo had done to him. He bit his lip, and turned his attention back to Tai, who looked on the verge of tears.
Tai lifted his hand to gently trace over Matt’s bruised and swollen eye. “Matt, your face is all bruised and bloody.”
“It’s okay, Tai. He didn’t hurt me that bad. It looks worse than it is.”
“No, It’s not okay! I don’t understand how someone can do this. Why do people hurt others for no reason? Why does everyone keep hurting you Matt?!”
The school Nurse lifted her attention from her patient’s arm, “Who else hurts you Matt?”
“No one hurts me Ma’am.” Matt lied. ::Shit. Why did Tai have to say something so fucking stupid?::
“Don’t lie to me Matt. There are many scars on your body. I know these didn’t come from Keizo.” She indicated to his left arm, which still held the scars from when he stabbed himself with the mirror.
“No one hurts me. Really. I got these in a car accident awhile back.” Matt was starting to get scared. ::Why won’t she leave me alone?::
The Nurse was relentless, and turned her attention to Tai. “Taichi, who hurts Matt?”
“Uhm…Uh…” was all Tai could utter, as he looked from the Nurse, to Matt, to the Nurse again.
Matt was mentally urging Tai to keep his mouth shut. He didn’t know what he’d do if the truth came out.
“Uhm…No one..Uh...hurts him.” Tai finally said.
“Hmmm….” Was all the nurse said, obviously not convinced with the two boys answers. She finished up cleaning all of Matt’s wounds, including the one’s on his face. “Now I want you two to stay right there. I’ll be right back.” She closed the door behind her, leaving the two boys alone.
“I am sooo sorry Matt. I really didn’t mean to say that in front of her. Please forgive me.”
“That’s alright. It’s no big deal. And by the way, you, my friend, are a terrible liar.” Matt smiled at the embarrassed look that crossed over Tai’s face.
“I’m not that bad a liar Matt.”
“Tai, you are worse than bad. If not the worse liar I have ever seen.”
“Ok. Ok. You made your point. I’m a bad liar. Sheesh. Are you happy?”
“Very happy.” ::I’m happy Keizo didn’t hurt you.::
Tai started to lightly stroke Matt’s face again. Like he was trying to heal Matt’s face by touch alone.
Matt sat in a daze. Tingles started to run up and down his spine, from the light caresses to his cheek. He wanted so badly to lean forward and kiss Tai. Wanted to show him just how much he loved him. “Tai?” Matt whispered, looking deep into Tai’s eyes.
“Yes Matt?” Tai also whispered. Suddenly it seemed like all they could do was whisper.
“I have something I need to tell you.”::Oh God. I’m gonna do it. I’m gonna tell him.::
“You know you can tell me anything Matt.” Tai’s whisper was barely audible.
“Well, it’s just that…uhm…well, I lo--”
“I’m Back!” The Nurse exclaimed.
Matt could just KILL the school Nurse. ::Why’d she have to go and walk in, when I was finally going to tell Tai how I feel!? God! I almost told Tai how I felt!::
“Matt.”
::Shit, what was I thinking. I must have lost too much blood. I almost did something really stupid!::
“Matt.”
::God, I almost kissed him too. What the hell was I thinking anyway? That he’d throw his arms around me and say, “I love you too!” I’m such an idiot.::
“MATT!”
Matt looked up angrily at the school nurse. “What?” He snapped. He was very annoyed by her presence now.
“The Principal would like to see you now.”
“Shit! Why the fuck do I have to see him?”
The nurse made a face. “Watch your mouth young man! You were involved in a fight. Of course the Principal is going to want to talk to you about it.”
“Today is just sucking more and more.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Matt and Tai walked together to the Principal’s office.
“Matt, what were you gonna tell me back there?”
::I love you.:: Matt sighed, “It wasn’t important. Don’t worry about it.”
They reached the door to the Principal’s office. Matt hesitated, he really wasn’t looking forward to this.
“It’ll be okay Matt. I’ll wait for you out here.”
Matt sighed again, and entered the office.
“Hello there Yamato,” The Principal greeted him, and motioned toward a chair in front of his desk, “have a seat.”
Matt plopped down in silence.
“Now Yamato, I want you to tell me exactly what happened today.”
“Well…” Matt took in a deep breath, and began to explain the events of the day.
The Principal nodded in silence, listening to all Matt said. “Now that story sounds a little more believable. And according to your records, you haven’t been involved in any fights previous to this. Which is more than I can say for Keizo. Anyway, even though I believe your story, I have no way of knowing for sure what happened. So you’ll still be receiving some disciplinary action.”
::What!? Fuck you Asshole!::
“It is standard to give a three day suspension to those involved in fights, and I will also be calling your Father.”
::My Father!" Matt almost jumped from his seat. “No, you can’t.”
“And why is that Yamato?”
“Because my Father is out of town…on a business trip.” Matt lied, hoping he wasn’t as obvious as Tai was when he lied.
“How long will he be gone?”
“Uhm, I’m not sure. He said probably about two weeks, but it tends to be longer than that.” Matt hoped to God that the Principal was buying this.
The Principal cocked an eyebrow. “He leaves you alone often?”
“Only a couple times a year.” ::Please quit asking questions. Please quit asking questions.::
“Well in any case, you’re suspended for the next three days. You’re dismissed.”
::That was close. Today has got to be the worst day in history.:: Matt stepped out of the office, and was greeted by Tai.
“How’d it go?”
“Ugh! He was going to call my Dad. I had to tell him he was on a two week business trip. Oh…and I’m on a three day suspension.”
“What! Why?”
“That’s the standard punishment for people involved in fights.” Matt said sarcastically.
“But he caused it!”
“It doesn’t matter Tai. C’mon, let’s get the hell out of this dump.”
TBC…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Please don’t hate me!! There will be Taito soon. I promise. I know it’s taking awhile, but it should be appearing within the next two chapters. Just bear with me please. Take all your frustrations out on the school Nurse. She’s the real enemy. She just had to cut in when Matt was gonna tell Tai he loved him. So it really wasn’t my fault. She’s the stupid bitch. (Can you tell I’m feeling guilty?)
