Dancing around

At his best friend’s blunt inquiry, Tai’s game plan took a dramatic reversal. He had been planning up until that point to just lie and say that he only came here to dance and for cheap drinks, plus no women to bother him, and then continue to ply Matt with drinks while constantly nagging on him to dance. Then, he would somehow corner an exhausted and tipsy Yamato into spilling out his feelings and tadaa! Happily Ever After!

But now, with Matt looking nervous, fidgety, and almost hopeful, he just couldn’t wait that long. He’d never been the patient type when it came to something he wanted and he had already waited for the chance to be with Matt for years. Enough was enough. Besides slow and methodical was never really his style. So, time for plan ‘B’.

Matt looked up in shock as Tai pushed him hard against the wall. There was a fire in his friend’s eyes that the blonde had never seen before as Tai held him firmly in place.

“T-Tai?” Matt started uncertainly, not certain how to take the hard look in those brown eyes. This was definitely not the reaction he had anticipated. He thought maybe Tai would be embarrassed or enthusiastic… not… angry? Tai’s gaze held a molten heat as he gripped Matt’s wrists and positioned them above the blonde’s head.

“You’ve been lying to me, Yama.” The words were nearly growled and further took Matt by surprise. Tai never called him ‘Yama’ unless he was being deadly serious. Matt began back-tracking through the last couple of weeks, wondering what he could’ve done to piss off the fuming brunette, but could come up with nothing. And what did he mean by Matt was lying?

“What are you talkin…?”

“You’ve been lying to me for quite some time now,” Tai cut him off with another firm growl, this one sending an odd shiver down Matt’s spine. Matt started squirming, trying to pull out of Tai’s grip, but the brunette only tightened his hold and used his legs to further trap the blonde to the wall. Matt had forgotten how strong the slender soccer player actually was and it was beginning to make him nervous. He swallowed hard as Tai’s body moved closer to his own. Tai’s breath was ghosting over his face, taunting, teasing, and it caused Matt’s breath to hitch. He could feel his earlier arousal returning with a vengeance and desperately prayed that Tai’s thigh wouldn’t discover it.

“Tai… I don’t know what you’re…?”

“Yes you do, Yama, you know exactly what I’m talking about,” Tai was breathing into his ear, turning Matt’s legs to jelly until he was grateful for how Tai was holding him up. His breath was turning ragged as his heart raced and Matt did his best to keep it under control.

“Tai… please. I swear I don’t know what you mean,” he pleaded again, shivering as lips brushed his ear. Tai let out a small chuckle, before a hard thigh was thrust brutally between his own, tearing a moan from his throat before Matt could stop himself as the tight confines of his jeans got even tighter.

“I’m talking about this, Yama.” Tai’s voice had turned into a purr as he continued to rub his thigh against the evidence of the blonde’s arousal. “I’m talking about this morning.”

Matt gasped, horrified. No, Tai couldn’t have seen him… but nothing else had happened that morning that Tai could possibly be talking about. He whimpered slightly, the friction on his groin mixing with the embarrassment he felt to make his head spin. There was another dark chuckle from Tai and he moved until he was eye to eye with Matt.

“That’s right, Yama. I saw you,” Tai’s voice was husky now and once Matt could focus a bit past the pleasurable pressure on his groin, he noticed another pressure, a hard one pressed against his hip.

Tai’s hands slowly released him, tracing down his arms to hold his face. Tai’s lips were so close they were sharing breath and Matt could no longer contain the small whimpers that the brunette was wringing from him. “And I heard you… heard you calling for me as you came.”

This couldn’t be happening. Things this great just didn’t happen to Matt. Tai, the boy he’d been in love with for years, had him pinned to a wall looking like he was about to kiss him… and was aroused about it.

Tai ground his thigh against Matt’s erection again, pulling the breath from him in a rush.

“Uhn! Taichi!”

“Mmmm, just like that,” Tai whispered, his lips practically resting against Matt’s. It drew the blonde’s attention to that horribly teasing mouth and Matt had to fight the need to beg for a kiss. He wanted one… oh how he wanted one!

“So Yama, why didn’t you tell me?” Tai’s words were so quiet Matt almost didn’t hear them. Not that it mattered, it took his lust muddled brain a few seconds to understand them.

“Tell you what?” he asked, trying to get his brain somewhere other than his pants. The question drew another of those sinfully dark chuckles from the brunette and Matt swore he nearly came from the sound alone.

“C’mon, Ishida focus,” Tai teased, his arms now moving to encircle his friend and pull him bodily closer. “Why didn’t you tell me that you want me to fuck you?”

Matt could only whimper in response, moving forward to try and capture the mouth that kept on floating just out of reach. Tai just moved his head back with a wicked smile and denied the blonde.

“Answer the question, Yama.”

“Are you gonna kiss me?”

“Answer and we’ll see…”

“Fear…” Matt finally said quietly, looking away from his friend. “I was afraid of how you’d react.”

Tai caught Matt’s face again and made the blonde look at him.

“You were afraid I’d hate you.” It wasn’t a question but Matt nodded, his face coloring with shame instead of arousal.

“You’re my best friend, Tai. If I ever lost that friendship it would destroy me…” Matt closed his eyes. He couldn’t keep looking into those brown depths that always saw right through him.

A gentle stroke along his cheek got him to hesitantly open his eyes. Tai’s gentle smile met him before soft lips met his own and made Matt forget all about his embarrassment.

Kuragari: so starts steamy and ends sweet but don’t worry! The steam will be back in the next chapter which I have pre-planned so it shouldn’t be nearly as long in updating. Sorry about that btw!
