Digimon Fan Fiction ❯ I Love You, I Love You Not ❯ Hey Baby ( Chapter 1 )
Disclaimer= if I owned Digimon do you really think that Matt would have married Sora?
Teti= here you are another ficcie from myself. This will be a few shots story, with long chapters (maybe). It's another AU (what's with me and alternate universes lately?!), where Tai and Joe are best friends and roommates at the university. I'm using dubbed names because this time they fit better.
Sorry if this chapter will suck (I don't know if it will, because I'm going to write it now), but I'm listening to Marilyn Manson's 'Disposable Teens' and I'm a bit disturbed right now. Thank KoNy who got me hooked on that song! ^__^. Anyway, Manson's not my cup of tea, so don't worry.
Sorry for the crappy title, but I couldn't come up with something better.
Chibimon= hey Teti, aren't you forgetting something?
Teti= oh yeah. I wanted to thank infinitely CSMars for pointing out to me my HUGE mistake on Chapter 5 of 'Never Give Up'. I wrote 'tell him I'm a guy', but actually it was 'DON'T tell him I'm a guy'. Arigatou CSMars-san!
And evi, don't worry about maths. I just got one bad mark (and actually it isn't even that bad), but I hate it anyways. And my teacher is Sora's secret twin. That says a lot itself.
WARNINGS= Yaoi, Taito, Jyouto, so all of you close-minded people stay away from this and don't flame me! Rated for swearing and maybe some lime-y scenes in later chapters.
Chapter One
"Oh my head…." A very confused Tai Kamiya exclaimed to no one. The previous night he had gotten extremely drunk with some friends of his and he was feeling now the effects of the hangover.
"I swear I won't drink that much ever again" he said, while entering the kitchen where his roommate, who was also his best friend, Joe Kido was tasting his usual coffee.
"Good morning you too Sunshine" Joe said to the wild-haired boy, who was finding difficult opening the fridge.
"Damn devilry! Why they have to make these things so difficult?!" he asked, still very drunk.
"Actually Tai, it's just a matter of power. If you grab the handle this way, forcefully, then you pull it and, voilà, it's opened!" he lectured the younger boy with sarcasm, grinning from cheek to cheek.
"Shut up, Kido. I know perfectly how to open a damn fridge, it's just that this morning I'm not myself" Tai replied.
He heard Joe murmur a 'when are you yourself?' but he thought it was better say nothing.
He grabbed the milk and he versed it on a cup, his cup, a word which Joe had learned in a bad way.
"Tai, are you fine enough to go to the lessons this morning? If you don't feel well I'll warn the teacher so you can stay here to rest until the headache will fade away" the blue haired youth proposed his soon-to-be-sick friend.
"Uh…I don't know Joe…today's lesson is important…but in this condition I don't think I'll be able to concentrate…" he mumbled pensive "on the other hand, if I stay in the room and you warn the lecturer I will recuperate this morning in another day, when I'll be completely fine"
"So, I guess you can stay here, but please clean your own room. Mine is tidy, but I don't dare thinking about yours" Joe shivered at the thought
"What's wrong with my room?!" Tai asked, a bit offended.
"It's just that I know how messed up it is when you're sober…and I don't want to see how it is now that you are drunk…that would scar my entire life for the rest of my days" Joe chuckled.
"Oh this is your opinion about me?" Tai grinned "I'm hurt, really am. Now go away. And I'll try to find the pieces of my broken soul"
'It's like talking to a 12-year-old instead of a 19…when will he grow up?' Joe smiled at the thought.
He and Tai argued a lot, but they were the best of friends. When one was in trouble, or he felt depressed, the other one was always ready to cheer him up. They were now like brothers and felt that nothing and nobody could ever separate them.
He left the brunette at his breakfast and directed to his lesson of Architecture, while Tai was attempting at the Veterinary class.
*~*~*~*~*
"Hello Mr Ishida, you are the welcome in Odaiba University. What lesson have you chosen?" the secretary of the university asked to a young man, with deep blue eyes and golden hair.
"Hello Mrs Naozomi, I'm pleased to meet you. I've chosen to follow the Law class, if it isn't already full" he answered hopeful to the secretary; ha had always dreamed to be a lawyer, so he could defend the poor and the innocent people who were charged with cases of murders, just like those TV movies he loved.
"Uhm…let me check" Mrs Naozumi said "you're lucky young man, there's just one sit available. You're starting this course Monday morning, at the beginning of the week. Until that day, you'll have to wait. Meanwhile we've found a room for you, with two roommates. It's a good room, big and spacious and there's place for three. What do you think about?"
"I think it's perfect, I like knowing new people and I bet we'll get along just fine" the blonde exclaimed smiling.
The secretary smiled in return, then she gave him the keys of his new "house". Room 354-K, third floor, second corridor on the left. This way he couldn't possibly get lost. Wait, where was the staircase?!
*~*~*~*~*
"The Gothic style was born in France in the 13th-14th centuries. The name was given by the Renaissance artists, who considered it a barbaric style. It was…" the teacher explained, but right then the bell rang. The students sighed with relief. It was finally over. Nor that it wasn't interesting, it was just that this teacher had a so monotone and boring little voice that it was hard to stay awake.
Joe stretched his arms and legs and yawned noisily. His friends curved an eyebrow puzzled. Joe never got bored in a lesson, even if it was about the politic system of the ants. This was a day to remember.
Joe was going to go to the cafeteria for a drink, when someone stopped him. He turned round and faced an angel. Well, at least in his opinion. He, he had to be a fallen angel. Yes, a he. No human could possibly be so pure, so perfect, so heavenly. He barely noticed that the boy was talking to him, to him, of all the mortals, this little piece of Heaven was talking to him, Joe Kido. But he couldn't distinct a single word, too hypnotized by those ocean pool, so deep and blue he felt himself drowning in them.
"Uhm…ex… me…can you….room…" the blonde was saying certainly much more, but he could understand only few, incomplete words. No he tried to focus on what he was really saying.
"Uh…sorry, I wasn't listening" he half-lied "can you repeat?"
The blonde made a weird face. He couldn't tell if he was confused or annoyed. Great Joe, a fantastic way to introduce yourself to an angel.
"Okay…" the unknown youth said "I asked you if you could help me find my room. I just got here and I don't know here it is"
"Of course, here, let me see which room they assigned you" he took the piece of paper the blonde was holding and almost fainted. He read again. No, there were no mistakes. Room 354-K, third floor, second corridor on the left. His room. His own room.
"Hey, how little the world is!" he exclaimed happily
"Why is that?" the blonde asked, puzzled.
"Because this is exactly my room! We're going to be roommates now on" he answered the new boy.
"Cool! So we're going to be living together? I'm Ishida Yamato, but my friends call me Matt" he introduced himself.Ishida Yamato, what a musical name…
"I'm Kido Jyou, but you can call me Joe" he smiled, then added "I've another roommate, Tai Kamiya, who's a weird boy but he's funny as Hell. Come on, let me walk you to our room"
Matt nodded, so they walked together to the room. During the journey they chatted about stuff, family, school, just as they were long time friends.
When they finally arrived at the "apartment" they heard weird noises from inside. Matt looked puzzled the blue haired boy, who just shrugged. They opened the room, to find an unclothed Tai with only his underwear on who was dancing on the table of the living room listening to some break-ears house music from one of his CDs. The two just arrived boy remained speechless, the blonde one with wide eyes and a blush who was colouring his pretty cheeks and the other one with the jaw on the floor, who almost unconsciously closed the door behind them.
Tai froze in his place, in a very compromising position and paled. Oh holy shit…
"Uhm…uh…Matt, this is the Tai I was talking about before…Tai this is Matt Ishida, he's going to be our roommates" Joe tried to recover from the shock to find his best friend dancing like a porno star. This will mark me for life. I just hope he isn't drunk again…
"Er…hi Matt, I'm Tai…" the said brunette introduced himself, trying to not to think that he had just made a fool of himself in front of a person who wasn't Joe.
"Uh…hi Tai, pleased to meet you too" Matt said almost shyly "anyway Tai, don't worry about that. I've done something ten times worse" he told the brunette grinning, to cheer him up.
This caught the wild haired boy's attention. There really was someone worse than him?
"What did you do?" he asked curious.
Joe sighed with relief for the second time that morning. Maybe the situation wasn't too embarrassing anymore.
"Well you see…" Matt began sheepishly, but smiling, while he sat down on a chair "two years ago, when I was seventeen, me and my friends went to a party in one of, well…that kind of locals…" he blushed a bit at the thought " anyway, I had drank way too much and wasn't myself. One of the guys made a stupid bet and I accepted, not knowing what bet it was. The make a long story short, I found myself doing a strip dance in front of them on the notes of '9 weeks and half'…Now, that was embarrassing…"
Joe couldn't help but imagine Matt doing a strip dance…That thought was turning him on…
"This is really terrible…I'm sorry for you man" Tai said, now happy again. Maybe I'm not the only idiot in the world…he thought chuckling between himself.
"Oh, no problem. After all, I gained 500 yens because of that bet and I wasn't sober enough to remember all of the details, so, no big deal" the blonde grinned.
Then words flew like water. Just like old friends do, all of them chatted, laughed, joked, about everything and nothing in particular, just enjoying being together.
Tai felt very comfortable with this new boy; there was no real reason, it just felt right being close to him; he was funny and smart, not an academic intelligence, but more a street one, the intelligence you got living in the true sense of the words. This boy will be a great roommate, I bet it!
*~*~*~*~*
"Tai! Where the heck did you put my blue shirt?!"
A sunny morning of autumn of some weeks later found three boys just waking up, or better, trying to wake up, but still very sleepy. The blonde known as Matt was storming around the apartment trying to find his favourite shirt, which yesterday was strangely on Tai's chair. And this morning was nowhere to be found.
"Hey Matt, there are people who would like to sleep here!" Joe shouted from his bed.
"Sorry Joe" Matt excused himself, then repeated "Tai! Where the hell did you put my blue shirt?!"
"Matt, please, I'm tired and I don't know anything about your stupid shirt! Why don't you try looking in your armchair?" a very sleepy Tai murmured, not understanding why the blonde boy was so irritated. He had only used to shirt the previous evening, while his friends was studying for his exam, to go out with some friends. The only problem he had lacerated it just a little bit, but it wasn't his fault. Well, it was a little bit in his opinion. Actually it was more completely torn from shoulder to stomach than just lacerated a little bit. Of course Matt didn't know this. And it was better if he kept to knowing it.
"Oh no, Mr Big-Hair-Rocks, don't you start with me" the blonde said now really pissed off " you know I know you had it last evening, so don't play little innocent boy. I want my shirt. And I want it now" he warned dangerously.
"Matt, don't you have an exam in half an hour?" Joe remembered him, now completely awake.
"Oh shit, you're right! Listen Taichi Kamiya, if I don't find my shirt when I come back from the class, you'll be as good as dead. And I mean it". With a last death glare the blonde left the room.
"Geez, thanks dude, you saved me!" Tai thanked the older boy, who just shrugged.
"Now it's better if you find that shirt quickly, because I don't think next time you'll be as lucky. I won't be here anytime to save your back from the menace of the Infamous Yamato Ishida" he joked.
Tai just nodded, then directed to bed again.
'Stupid blonde ' Joe heard him murmur 'Stupid beautiful blonde'.
The 20-year-old young man blinked. He should have imagined it. Yes it had to be his imagination. Oh come on, Tai couldn't possibly be gay, he had had dozens of girls! He had to be straight, hadn't he? He was sure he was straight.
Just not as sure as he had been five minutes ago.

Teti= okay, I got tired of writing, and was running out of ideas, so I had to stop it here. I intended this to be a two chapters story but it came out this way. I hope it was worth the work ^___^ I have to say that I've found my biggest inspiration in Linkin Park's Cd, "Hybrid Theory". It's great!
Chibimon= some feedbacks would be appreciated, because she wants to know if you like her writing
Teti= and isn't it what every author out there wants?
Chibimon= gotcha
Teti= oh, and evi, can you leave your e-mail address? I'd like to chat with you once or twice ^__~v
