Chapter 9-Remember You

"I'm sorry Matt. I just can't take it anymore."

Tai got out of bed and walked into the living room. He grabbed the duct tape out of the kitchen, and took a clothespin off one of the many bags of chips, then walked into the bathroom and let the water slowly fill up the bathtub. When the bathtub was full, he turned off the water and climbed in with his clothes on. He ripped off a large piece of duct tape and put it over his mouth, then he put the clothespin over his nose and fully submerged himself in the water. In less than a minute he had gone unconscious.

Matt climbed out of bed, wondering what Tai was doing in the middle of the night. When he saw that the bathroom door was wide open, he stepped in. As soon as he saw Tai floating unconscious in the water, he ran over and pulled him out. He quickly pulled off the clothespin a duct tape, and checked for a pulse on Tai's neck. He was glad when he found one, even though it was faint.

"God, what did you do, Taichi? Why did you do it? Is it because of me? Is it because I don't remember you? I'm sorry. I've tried, and I'm still trying, but why did you have to try to kill yourself? Please tell me." Matt felt more memories rushing to his head, and he remembered how he tried to commit suicide himself, and how Tai saved him, even though he wouldn't talk to him.

He reached over and unplugged the drain, holding Tai close to him until there wasn't any water left in the tub. Carefully, he picked up Tai and tried to stand up, but didn't have much luck with his leg still being broken. Finally, he stood up holding Tai and carried him into the bedroom. He gently set Tai down on the bed, then took off both of their shirts. He found two dry shirts and put one on himself, and one on Tai before wrapping him up in the blankets so he wouldn't freeze from his soaked boxers. Matt sat on the floor and watched Tai closely, his head resting on his arms on top of the bed. Only when he couldn't fight it off any more, did he let himself fall asleep watching over Tai.

When Matt woke up the next morning, Tai was still out, so he went into the kitchen and started cooking, though he wasn't sure how he knew how to cook. "I'll surprise them all! I remembered how to cook-somehow." After a few minutes of contemplating what to make, he finally decided to make Crepes Suzettes-or jelly roll-ups. As soon as Matt started cooking, Tai came stumbling out of the bedroom.

"Matt?"

"What?"

"You're cooking!"

"Yeah, I know that. Go change your boxers, please. Your parents will think you wet the bed or something if you don't."

"Good idea." When Tai came back out of the bedroom, he walked up behind Matt and whispered to him in case anybody else was up. "Um, Matt-did you-"

"Don't worry. I won't tell your parents or Kari-or anybody else. Promise."

"Thanks. When did you find me?"

"Not too long afterwards, because you still had a pulse. I woke up when you got out of bed, and I was worried when you didn't come back, so I checked on you." Tai reached around Matt and hugged his back.

"You saved my life twice already. Sorry about last night. I just miss you so much. You know?"

"Yeah. Now go sit down and wait for me to finish making breakfast. Maybe we can give your parents and sister breakfast in bed. Whatcha think?"

"Sounds good to me!" Tai let go of Matt and sat down at the table. "They'll be so happy for you! And they'll be happy to have a day off-kinda. So-what are you making? I didn't look when I was up by the stove."

"Secret. You'll just have to wait and see, so don't even think about getting up."

"Yama! Please?"

"Nope. And begging won't do any good."

Half an hour later Matt was finished cooking and he asked Tai to help him prepare the trays for his parents and Kari. Matt went in and woke up Mr. and Mrs. Yagami, and told them to wait because he had a surprise for them. He and Tai carried in the trays moments later and set them down on his parents' laps. When Matt told them that he had cooked breakfast without any help, Mrs. Yagami burst into tears of joy.

"I'm so proud of you, Yamato! You're remembering more and more every day!"

"Thank you. I'll be right back. Gotta give Kari hers!"

Tai was lying wide-awake in bed, yet again. He had been staring at the ceiling, trying to figure out how to get Matt's memories back. He sat up and stared at Matt, who appeared to be sound asleep. Before he knew it, he had leaned over and was softly kissing Matt's lips.

Matt's eyes shot open and he shoved Tai off of him, onto the floor. "What the heck? What'd you do that for?"

"I'm sorry, Yama. I couldn't help it. You just looked so peaceful lying there, and-" Matt grabbed his head as all of his memories came rushing back to him like a flash flood in a small town. "Are you okay Yama? Yama?" Tai climbed onto the bed and stared worriedly at Matt.

Matt jerked his head up and stared into Tai's eyes. "Tai . . ." Matt grabbed the sides of Tai face and smashed their lips together in a passionate kiss. "I remember everything now."

"Everything?"

"Everything. The Digiworld, writing in my journal, our last warheads contest, the cars-everything. Absolutely everything."

Tai hugged Matt tightly and talked quietly so nobody else would ever hear. "I'm so glad to have you back Yama. I missed you."

"And I'm glad to be back."

They stared into each others' eyes a while before kissing each other sweetly, and falling asleep in each others' arms.

I know it's short. But isn't it worth it to have waited? Should be a lemon next chapter, and when I say lemon, I mean the sweetest, sourest, juiciest lemon that can be "found". Review!
