~~~~~~~~~~

Lunch was finished and they were on the road again. Koji decided to drive with Sora navigated. Niru sat behind Sora, tapping his drum sticks on the window. Akira and Hiroshi were making out....again. Matt and Tai were in the back....again.

"So...she's mad at you again?" Tai asked.
"Yeah...and just because we got a bit close in our sleep."
Tai blushed and smiled sheepishly, "Yeah, sorry about that. Guess I migrated in my sleep."
"Not your fault Tai." Matt smiled. "By the way...How close were we?"
"This close." Tai replied, leaning in-his face inches from Matt's.
"Tai..." Matt blushed.
"That was my initial reaction too." Tai teased, leaning back again.
<I would've liked to be closer.> Matt thought.
"W-what??" Tai said, his eyes rounding.

Matt froze, did he say that out loud too?

"You...you...wanted to be closer...?" Taichi repeated.
<Shit!> Matt inwardly cussed. "I...."
"Matt....?"
<Think fast Ishida!> "G-gotcha!!"
"Huh?" Tai asked, his confusion growing.
"Gotcha! I was just messin' around." Matt said, forcing a smile.
"You...!" Tai exclaimed, lightly punching Matt's arm.

Matt laughed, and lean back against the pile of blankets. Tai leaned back, quite disappointed.
<I hoped he was serious...>
Hiroshi pulled the privacy curtain back, pulling Akira along with him.

"Hey guys." Hiroshi said, "We came to keep you company."
"Knock yourselves out." Matt grinned.
"I think we should play Truth or Dare." Akira said, smiling at Hiroshi.
"I haven't played that game since I was eleven." Matt replied.
"Well then, it's time to start again!" Hiroshi exclaimed, "Truth or dare, Yamato."
Matt groaned, "I dunno....truth."
"Who...do you have a crush on?" Hiroshi asked, grinning like the Cheshire Cat.
"No one." Matt answered, keeping his expression blank and unreadable.
"Mah...you're no fun." Hiroshi grumped, "You don't have to worry about your girlfriend getting pissed, she can't hear us."
"No one." Matt repeated.

Hiroshi shrugged and gave up on prodding Matt.

"Ok Matt...your turn."
"Ok....Akira, truth or dare?"
"Truth."
Matt smiled evilly, "I hoped you would say that...how far have you gone with Hiroshi?"
Akira blushed madly, "Pretty far..."
"I've been in his pants!" Hiroshi announced proudly, earning him a smack from his boyfriend.
"Tai. Truth or dare?" Akira asked, ignoring his boyfriend's attempts to apologize.
"Dare."
"Ok....I dare you to...kiss Matt."

Taichi's eyes rounded to the size of saucers, and he gulped.

"K-kiss Matt?"
"Yeah." Akira said, smiling.

Matt glared daggers at Akira, who cheerfully ignored him. The grin on the sandy blonde's face got wider by the moment. Tai nervously scratched the back of his head, and leaned close to his friend...only to go sailing face first into him.

"What the?" Hiroshi exclaimed, smacking into Akira.
"We're home!!" Koji announced.

Akira groaned. <We almost had them smoochin'!!!>

"Tai!!" Kaede shrieked, "What happened to you!?"
Tai smiled meekly, "It's nothing big."
"Looks like this cut needs stitches." Joe stated, examining the side of Tai's mouth.
"Really?" Matt asked, not bothering to hide the worry in his voice.
"Yeah. I don't think that cut will heal without being close manually."
"Someone should take him to the hospital." Kaede said.
Matt winced, remembering how much Tai hated hospitals, "I'll take him. Sora? Will you take my luggage to my place."
"Sure hun." Sora replied, tossing Matt's luggage out of the van.
"I'll drive Tai's luggage home." Koji offered.
"Thanks." Taichi replied with a smile.
"My car is this way. C'mon Tai." Matt said, taking Tai by the arm.
"Do I really have to go to the hospital?" Tai whimpered.
"If I knew how to do stitches I'd patch you up myself, so you wouldn't. Unfortunately I don't know how to do stitches so you have to go."

The brunette sighed heavily, and waited for Matt to unlock the car doors. He hated hospitals ever since Kari had gotten sick. The hospital gave him the chills and made him extremely uneasy.

"Tai?"
"Hmmn?"
"Get in."
Tai blushed, "Sorry. Wasn't paying attention."
--------------
Sora watched Matt and Tai drive off, doing her best to keep her jealousy in tact. She saw the looks Matt was giving Tai. He never looked at her like that. Even when they first started dating, he never looked at her like that.
----------------
Tai couldn't stop moving. He cracked his knuckles, fidgeted with his hair, and bounced his knees.

"Tai..." Matt whispered, putting his hand on Tai's knee. "Relax. I'm here."
Tai smiled, "Thanks Matt."
"Yagami Taichi?" The nurse asked.
"Y-yeah." Tai answered, standing up.
"The doctor will see you now."
"C-can my friend come in with me?"

The nurse looked a little puzzled, so Matt spoke up.

"Tai is a little apprehensive about being here." He explained.
"Oh." The nurse said, "Well I suppose it wouldn't hurt. Come on in."

Tai smiled gratefully at both Matt and the nurse and walked into the cramped room.

"I hate these rooms." The brunette youth moped.
"Oh Tai..."

Tai sat down on the tiny bench and cracked his knuckles again. A man with silver hair and wearing a pale green lab coat walked in.

"Hello Tai. I'm Doctor Jinichi. Care to tell me what happened?"
"Just got in a fight. That's all."
"M-hm." Dr. Jinichi murmured, making a note on his clipboard. "And I understand you're a bit nervous about this."
"Yeah..."
"I assure you, this will be over before you know it."
"Ok."
"You're friend can hold your hand too if you wish."
"Ok.."

As the Doctor prepared the needle, Tai slipped his hand into Matt's. Matt's eyes went wide and he looked at Tai, a faint blush tainting his cheeks.

"Ok...all ready." Dr J. said, stepping up to Tai, "Try not to flinch...."

Tai squeezed Matt's hand, as the Doctor slowly closed up Tai's cut. Matt squeezed back, his ears turning pink. The Doctor tied the line, and put a small piece of security tape over the stitches.

"There. All done."
"Thanks Doctor."
"No problem."

Tai slid his hand out of Matt's, and made his way to the front desk to pay.
**************

"It hurts." Tai whined, dragging his feet all the way to the car.
"Whine, whine, whine." Matt teased, opening the door for Tai.

Tai stuck his tongue out at his friend, and got into the car. Matt closed the door, and made his way around the car. Tai whimpered, his mouth really hurt...!! The blonde got into the driver's seat, and closed the door. The brown-haired digidestined moaned, and slumped against the door.

"Oh c'mon. It can't hurt that bad..."
"It does." Tai groaned, slumping against Matt instead.
"I have something that'll make it better."
"Really? What?"

Tai sat up, and looked at Matt.
<It's now or never Ishida, go for it!!!> Matt's mind cried.
Before Tai could question again, Matt leaned forward and pressed a sweet kiss to the side of Tai's mouth.
