Chapter 5: “Won't Go Home Without You”
"Every night you cry yourself to sleep
thinking why does this happen to me?
Why does every moment have to be so hard?
Hard to believe that
It's not over tonight
just give me one more chance to make it right
I may not make it through the night
I won't go home without you."

Matt woke up that morning to a tear stained pillow. He couldn't help himself; every night he cried himself to sleep wishing he could be with Tai. He wished things didn't have to be so hard, but he knew that there was no other way. Matt was tired of not being able to see Tai, his best friend, and well, the love of his life and it just wasn't fair, but it wouldn't be very fair if he were to continue to hurt Tai, he would never forgive himself if it happened again. He knew that he had to hide his dried tears from his brother, because that would lead to questions, questions require answers, and answers would bring back pain, so he washed his face, and went to the kitchen to make breakfast.

When T.K. woke up that morning, he had a huge smile on his face. He knew by the end of the day his brother was going to be happy, and he would stop moping around.
He put on a robe over his t-shirt and boxers and went to the kitchen of the hotel suite and found Matt making breakfast for the both of them. Matt saw him, and the smile that he had on his face and smiled back.
"You look like you had a really good dream!" commented Matt while wiggling his eyebrows.
T.K. playfully hit his brother on the back at his perverted comment. "Nothing like that ya perv! I guess I'm just happy that you told me you loved Tai last night. I mean, you did all along, but it’s about time you admitted it to yourself dude."
Matt's smile faded. "I should have never told you that T.K... You cannot tell anyone what I told you!"
What could TK say to that? He mentally beat himself for bringing up the subject, especially in the way he did, and now felt bad. He felt like he had convinced Matt that he had liked Tai all along, but of course that wasn’t true, it was just T.K. being T.K. But still felt guilty about bringing it up so early in the day.
"Um... okay, but shouldn't you tell Tai?" asked T.K. while shifting his weight, as he was now feeling uncomfortable.
"No fucking way! He's happy with Seth, I can't interfere." Replied Matt while turning his back to T.K.
T.K. had to act like he didn't know about Tai and Seth, as it is the boy knew too much for his own good. He smiled at that thought.
"But maybe he would be happier with you?" heard T.K. slip from his lips, and then covered his mouth realizing that he shouldn’t have said that.
Matt turned around and yelled, "T.K., I said NO, now leave it alone damn it!"
T.K. walked away hoping he didn't just make a huge mistake by talking with Tai.

Tai pulled up to Izzy's house and knocked on the door. After a few minutes, Izzy came to the door.
"Hey, Izzy! Were you asleep?" asked Tai as he scratched the back of his head hoping he didn’t wake up his friend.
"It's okay Tai, what's up?" asked Izzy, while stifling a yawn.
"T.K., called me at three in the morning…”
Izzy seemed to brighten up when he heard T.K.'s name, but was also curious as why the blonde boy would call Tai at such an odd hour.
"What did he say?"
"That Matt loves me! And I realized I love him!" answered Tai and looked as if he was about to jump around.
"Awesome! What are you going to do?"
"I'm going to go see him! I wanted to see if…you wanted to come with me?"
Izzy smiled.
"Sure lets go!"

That night, Izzy and Tai arrived at Tokyo, about three miles from where Matt was. They got in a cab and got going, since Tai was too tired to drive and look around for Matt and T.K.’s hotel, and on the entire way over there Tai was thinking about being in Matt's arms. But the truth was, Tai wasn't the only one thinking about love; Izzy had a secret crush for years now, and for the first time, he was thinking about spilling the beans.
Tai called T.K. to see where Matt was, and said he would make sure Matt didn't leave the hotel suite and he would meet them in the lobby.

"So you are staying here tonight?" T.K. asked his brother in his best nonchalant way possible.
Matt shrugged. "I actually have a night off, so I think I'm going to go party somewhere. I mean, what else is there to do as a rock star, ya know."
"NO!" T.K. yelled, and then realized he had to calm down. "I mean... on your night off, shouldn't you stay here and relax? I mean, I hear that the pressure on people in your shoes is tough, and the last thing I want you to do is end up shaving your head or something."
Matt looked at T.K. with a strange look.
"Uh... okay? I’ll stay home then T.K. but I think you need some fresh air dude."
T.K. sighed, but oh well, he dug himself into this one.
"Okay! Well I'm going out! Enjoy the time you have alone!"
T.K. slammed the door, in excitement to know that Tai should be there, as he ran out of the room.
Matt just looked at the door with a blank stare, wondering what on earth was in T.K.’s food to make him act so strange.

T.K. had just reached the lobby just as Tai and Izzy walked in the door, and ran to go greet them.
"Tai! Izzy! I'm so glad you're here! Tai hes in room 211! Go get him!" yelled T.K., while attracting some strange looks from some of the other guests and staff members as well.
Tai smiled, and looked around at the attention that they now had, then looked at Izzy.
“What are you going to do?" and ended his statement with that not wanting to say what he’d be doing while in Matt’s room.
"Oh, um... I'll just stay here and talk to T.K." answered Izzy while noticing the small blush creeping on Tai’s cheeks.
T.K. started jumping up and down because he knew that Tai and his brother would now be together, and in more ways than one.
"Actually I know this great place! Want to come with me for dinner? My treat!"
Izzy blushed hard. "Prodigious. Lets go!"
T.K. smiled, while wondering what he possibly he could have said to make the boy genius blush so hard, and then started out the door, as Tai walked the other way towards the elevator that would lead him to Matt.

Matt sat in his room strumming his guitar, singing a new song to no one in particular, thinking about Tai.
'I'm alone in my room think of you at a rate that is truly alarming.
I keep looping my memories of you in my head, I pretend that you want me..."
Just then, there was a knock on his door.
"Who is it?"
No answer.
Matt walked over to the door, not bothering to check through the peep hole, and opened the door to see the inspiration for the new song that he was singing, the boy he thought of everyday, the boy that was his best friend, the boy that was always there for him, the boy that taught him to be himself and be proud, the boy who told him that he could take care of T.K. by himself when no one else would, the boy who gave him a life, the one who was his shoulder to cry on, the one that told him he’d be a rock star, the boy who he loved, and the boy that he caused trouble for in his friend’s relationship, the boy he needed to ignore, but the boy who could never forget, and that hurt him.
“What the fuck?” spoke Matt without thinking, with all those thoughts running through his head, since Tai was the last person he expected to see right now.
“Excuse me?!” asked Tai, eyes wide in shock at how Matt reacted to seeing him. He expected to see him yell, and lunge into his arms, and confess his feelings in between a hot and passionate kiss, but in stead got a ‘what the fuck?”.
"Uh, Tai, you need to go home. I'm sure Seth isn't happy you're here." Replied Matt coldly.
"Matt, I came to talk to you, and I'm telling you right now, I won't go home without you." Spoke Tai in his trademark stubbornness.
Matt looked confused. What the hell is this gorgeous brunette talking about? He has a boyfriend!
"What are you talking about?"
"Matt, I love you."
Matt felt like his heart stopped. Oh hell no, this boy did not just make his dream come true. He felt as though he was in a dream, he must’ve fallen asleep on the couch out of boredom and was having another dream about Tai as he usually did.
"Wha-"
Before Matt could finish his question Tai had kissed him on the lips and held Matt’s head with his hands, and Matt returned the kiss with just as much enthusiasm as Tai. After breaking the kiss, so that Matt could breathe, since he was caught off guard, and spoke,
"I love you too Taichi!"
They kissed again and before they knew it, they were slowly getting to the bedroom.

Izzy sat across from T.K., trying not to stare, and thought that he’d break the silence between them.
"This is really good food T.K., you have great taste!"
T.K. smiled at the compliment, "Thank you Izzy. That means a lot coming from you."
Izzy blushed and T.K. noticed it again. 'What's going on with him?' He thought. 'Is it possible he feels for me how I feel for him?'

Tai and Matt lay in bed together cuddling. They both felt like they were in a dream that they did not want to wake up from, but Tai decided to test the waters. He shifted under the covers, and wrapped an arm around Matt and rose up slightly to see his face. Tai looked at Matt and smiled. "Are you really okay with this?"
Matt nodded. "Yes, but how did you know that I loved you too?"
Tai smiled. "You have the greatest little brother."
And with that Matt blushed, and made a mental note to kill T.K. and then bring him back to life, so that he can thank him, but first he had to kiss Tai one more time, to make sure that he wasn’t going to wake up in a bed alone, like he had in all his dreams. But he didn't, this time it was real.
