Don't go Breakin' My Heart

Chapter 1-Dancing All Alone

It was a typical day at school, and Yamato Ishida and Taichi Yagami were passing notes back and forth in 7th hour chemistry.

- So, Matt, are you coming over tonight? My parents and Kari are gonna be gone all weekend. Watcha say? -

- Yeah, what the heck. My dad's leaving on a business trip early tomorrow morning, and I don't have anything better to do. -

- *Sniff* so you don't love me? You're just bored? -

- Tai, you're such a goof. Crap. Teacher! TTY after class! -

When the bell rang, everybody was grateful, especially Matt and Tai.

"So, should we go get your stuff, or do you wanna come over and just borrow stuff like you usually do?"

"Borrow. I don't feel like walking all the way to my house today."

"Okay, whatever. Don't forget, I promised Kari I'd stop by the school and take her backpack home-again."

"Do she and TK have a date every week?"

"Just about. But she's getting really secretive about it. Notice anything from TK lately?"

"Yeah. He's been secretive, too. I wonder what's up? I wouldn't know much, though, you know, since he's only over for a couple hours every now and then."

"I can understand that. Kari's just plain been gone a lot, and she always says she's out with TK, even on weekdays."

"TK doesn't say anything about going out with Kari on the weekdays, but I wouldn't really know. But he usually tells me about every date he has with Kari."

"Matt! Tai! Wait up!" Sora yelled from behind the two.

"Oh, great," they thought.

"Didn't you guys hear me? I've been calling your names for, like, five minutes!"

"I guess we didn't hear you. We were too busy talking about our sleepover at my house tonight."

"Oh. Well that's okay. Have you guys seen that new guy, Chris? I'm supposed to be his tutor, but I can't find him anywhere. Seen him?"

"Nope. Did you check his locker?"

"Good idea! Thanks guys! See you!"

With that Sora ran down the hall towards the gym.

"God that was close! I thought for sure she was gonna ask one of us out!"

"Jeez, Matt-calm down! You're acting like she's the spawn of Satan!"

"Maybe she is!"

"Okay, I think you're right, but it's not her fault."

"Go ahead and believe that if you want, Yagami, but it's more than obvious."

"Do you think all girls are the devil, or something, because that's how you act around all of those rabid fan girls, too."

"No, they're just annoying."

"You know, if you keep acting like that, somebody's gonna think you're gay."

"Yeah, wouldn't want anybody to think that." Then he muttered under his breath, "even if it is true."

"Did you say something?"

"Nope, just talking to myself."

"Okay, whatever. Now come on, or Kari's gonna kill me if I make her late again."

"Don't worry, I'm coming."

Matt grabbed his backpack and ran down the hall to catch up with Tai.

When they reached the school, Kari was standing outside the front gates, tapping her foot impatiently. Her arms were crossed as if she was angry.

"I'm gonna be late again, Tai! TK went ahead as usual, and he's gonna get mad if I'm late again, especially if it's because of you!"

"Sorry! Blame it on Matt, not me! He was the one that made us late!"

"Just take my backpack. I've gotta go. See you guys!"

Kari ran off and Tai just stood there, shaking his head. "Is she ever gonna learn? He's not gonna be mad if she's late."

"Yeah. Hey, can you hold my bag? I'll be right back."

"Okay."

"I wonder what he's got in here?"

Tai unzipped Matt's bag and looked in. He saw what looked like a diary. Being the usual, curious teenager that he was, he pulled it out and looked at the first page.

"Aw, this is the boring stuff. Let's see if there's anything good."

He flipped through a few pages until he saw an interesting word and had to turn back. Slowly, he turned the pages back until he saw the word again. He slowly read the first few sentences to himself.

-God this is hard to write. I'm just glad I don't have to say it to anyone. Maybe it'll be better if I write it down, then I'll feel better. Okay, here goes nothing. I'm gay. But I can't ell my friends. I mean, what will they think of me? And what about TK? He probably wouldn't be able to talk to me. My mom's a total homophobe, and my dad, well, I have absolutely no idea what he'd think since he gets drunk so much. But what would Tai say if he knew? He'd probably never want to be my friend, especially if he knew that I-

Tai was about to turn to the next page to read more when he saw Matt walking up to him. He quickly shoved the notebook back into the bag and pretended like he was searching for candy.

"Tai, what are you doing?"

"You can't tell me that you don't have any candy in here? Can you?"

"I don't eat that much candy, you know that."

"I severely need candy, or I'm gonna die!" He started to get dramatic about his need for candy. "If I don't have enough sweetness running through my blood, it'll be devastating! I'll wither away to nothing, and all because you didn't have one single piece of candy in your backpack!"

"Oh calm down!" Matt reached into the back pocket of his jeans and pulled out a warhead. "Here. I hope you don't mind sour. But that's all I've got."

"Imported candy? Oh well. These things are good!"

"I bet you can't handle the sour," Matt said, pulling another warhead from his pocket and opening it.

"I bet I last longer than you do!" Tai opened his candy, too.

"You're on!"

They both stuck the candy in their mouths and commenced staring at each other. This wasn't the first time they'd had a "who keeps from puckering the longest" contest, but it was always funny to watch. Matt stared hard into Tai's eyes, knowing he was going to win. Tai's right eye started to twitch and he bit his lips, but he couldn't keep from puckering any longer.

"Man, Matt! How do you always do that?"

"I don't think they're sour at all. You're just a wimp when it comes to sour."

"Oh, quit posing like you're some macho wrestler, `cause we all know you're a wimp when it comes to one thing in particular."

"You wouldn't! Not here, Tai, please!

"Begging won't do a thing to help you, Yamato Ishida. Not when you're stuck in my clutches!"

"Not this time!"

Matt ran off onto the school playground and Tai chased him.

"Get your butt back here Ishida!"

"Never!"

"Don't make me use my soccer moves on you!"

"You better not!"

"I will! But you have to remember who the faster runner is!"

"Oh, crap!"

Suddenly Tai tackled Matt and started tickling his sides. Matt couldn't help but laugh hysterically, and try to get out from underneath Tai.

"Do you surrender, oh weak one?"

"Never!"

Matt continued to laugh as Tai tickled him, and some kids just coming out of detention stared at them. Eventually Matt rolled onto his back, and Tai straddled his waist, still tickling, and starting to tickle harder.

"Mercy! Mercy! Pinochle! Just stop already! My lungs can't take any more laughing!"

Finally Tai stopped tickling Matt and sat down on his stomach. Daisuke approached them, holding a soccer ball, and a towel that he was dabbing at his neck and forehead with.

"Did I miss something?"

"Yeah. I just beat Matt in a tickling contest again."

"And he beat you in a warheads sucking contest again, am I right?"

"You know us too well, kid."

"Hey! Don't call me a kid! I'm thirteen! And I have to go. I've got, uh, homework to do, you know? See you!"

Tai stood up and brushed the dirt off his shorts, then reached out his hand to pull Matt up. He gladly took it and stood up, brushing off the front of his clothes.

"Tai, will you brush my back off?"

"Do I have to?"

"Oh quit whining. It's your fault, anyway."

Tai stuck his tongue out at Matt, and Matt returned the idea, then let Tai brush the dirt off him from his shoulders to his feet.

"If only you knew, Tai. If only you knew."

So, watcha think? Good? Bad? Okay? Please review! Flames are fine.

I know I haven't gotten to the good stuff yet, but it's coming.

Next chapter they'll be at Tai's house and Tai will finally find out about Matt. What will Tai's reaction be? That's for me to know, and for you to wonder! I'm evil, I know.

This isn't a songfic, but the title is the name of a song. I was just listening to it, and I thought it would be the perfect title. It's a song from the Ella Enchanted soundtrack.

If anybody wants the MP3, e-mail me at ETNsilverstar@yahoo.com

I update relatively frequently, so you'll get to the good stuff soon enough. By the way, everybody is 16 and 13. Obvious who's what age.

Also chapter titles are song names, and if anybody wants those MP3's too, just ask.
