Author’s notes : All right, now before anyone asks I KNOW that Joe is older and isn’t supposed to be in the same class than Matt, but it wouldn’t have worked otherwise. There is also some little details like where the boys live and all that I made up so it fit the story, so don’t start screaming at me because it’s not how it should be please. Anyway here is the last chapter and I hope you will all like it. And before I forget, the boys are the age of season 02.

Disclaimer : If you didn’t get it by now, then you are hopeless...

Warning : LEMON ! This time it IS here. Didn’t I promise you there would be one ? ^_~

A Simple Kiss

By Shadow Arashi

It had been two days. Two days since Joe had kissed him. Matt sighed and stared at his lunch, not really feeling like eating, lost as he was in his daydream. Joe had kissed him, and the thought wouldn’t leave him alone. But what was he supposed to do now? Matt didn’t know if he loved Joe or not. Hell, he wasn’t sure of his feelings at all.

Matt sighed again and raised his head, only to find himself staring into deep chocolate brown eyes. He blinked. Tai was sitting in front of him, a grin plastered on his face and watching him intently. Matt gulped nervously at being so close to Tai.

"What is it Tai ?"

"Hmmmm... nothing. Just watching you, since it’s lunch break and we are all alone in class. You seemed lost in thought. Care to tell me about it?" Tai asked, tilting his head to the side with a smile. Matt felt like melting on the spot. But then the image of Tai and Sora popped up into his mind, and then the image of Joe and himself, kissing in the park.

That was enough to calm him and strangely, it made it easier for Matt to stay in control while being close to Tai.

"It’s nothing Tai. At least nothing of your concern. Don’t worry about it."

Tai looked at him, clearly not believing him. Then his face split in a huge grin, bigger than before.

"Let me guess, it’s a girl right? You have your eye on a girl and you don’t want us to know! Aww come on Matt, we aren’t that bad. You can tell us, you can tell me. So do I know her?"

Matt stared at Tai, eyes wide, then he couldn’t help it. He broke down laughing and almost fell out of his chair. Tai raised an eyebrow, not getting what was making his friend laugh so much. When Matt was calm enough, he wiped the tears from his eyes and smiled at his friend.

"No Tai, it’s not a girl," Matt finally said between laughter. Then Tai made a move that made Matt jump. He bent over Matt, using his desk to rest his arms and weight on it and spoke very lowly, making the blonde shiver.

"Then what is it Matt?"

Matt couldn’t answer, even if his life depended on it. Tai was way too close to him, and he wasn’t sure he liked the way it made him feel. Somewhere a distant part of him wondered how he could feel this bad around Tai when he was in love with him.

Then just as Matt thought he was going to pass out, Joe entered the class, distracting him from Tai. But his relief didn’t last. Joe had a look so strange in his eyes that Matt didn’t know how to take. He seemed . . . hurt?

Matt found himself backing away from Tai, feeling almost like he was betraying Joe. The thought made him stop. Betraying Joe? But how in hell could he be betraying Joe when they weren’t even an item?

Then Joe turned away and sat at his place, not looking at Tai or Matt anymore. Tai was going to speak when Sora came and threw her arms around his shoulders from behind, smiling, and he forgot all about his friend.

Matt watched them leave and glanced at Joe discretely. The blue haired boy’s expression was unreadable. Matt wondered briefly if he had hurt his friend before the bell rang signaling the end of the break and the beginning of the next class.

Matt finally left the school with relief and walked quietly, in an almost zombie-like way, letting his feet carry him. He had too much on his mind to think right now. He then took his bus and inwardly groaned when he found out there were no empty seats left. He was tired damn it!

He closed his eyes but opened them quickly when he noticed who was on the bus with him. Joe was there, only two seats away from him. The boy didn’t seem to have noticed Matt yet. Matt’s breath quickened somehow, and he found himself licking his lips in a nervous gesture.

The two boys stayed silent the whole time, though Matt was sure Joe had noticed him by now. Then they both left the bus. Matt was surprised to see that Joe was living in the same part of town as him. He had never noticed it before, not that it had mattered much at the time.

When Joe made his way to leave, Matt couldn’t help it. He desperately needed to talk to him about what happened at lunch. He ran after the slightly taller boy and called after him.

"Joe! Wait! I need to talk to you!"

Joe turned his head and stopped, looking at Matt in silent question. Matt caught up with him and stopped at his side, panting slightly.

"Joe, I want to know . . . I need to know . . . what do you feel exactly for me?"

Joe watched him, then smiled slowly.

"I thought it was obvious. But if you don’t know, then you can come over to my house. I’m alone right now. Then we could talk, if that’s what you want."

Matt nodded and followed Joe silently to his house. They arrived fairly fast, luckily for Matt, who was becoming more and more impatient with each passing moment. At last Joe was at his home and took his key out, opening the door. He entered and closed the door after Matt.

Once inside Joe pulled off his school jacket and placed it in the closet. He was about to head toward the living room when Matt caught his wrist, stopping him.

"Joe . . . I want to know . . ."

"I thought it was clear."

"No, it’s not. All that you did was kiss me. I loved Tai, at least I thought I did. But since you kissed me, I don’t know anymore. I want to know what you really feel for me. I want to know if this is some sort of game for you or . . ."

Matt didn’t finish his sentence, for Joe’s lips were now covering his in a deep, hot kiss. Matt’s eyes widened, but only for a second. He then closed them and lost himself in the kiss. It was really good, Matt thought. And he didn’t felt the uneasiness he had felt when he was near Tai.

Matt moaned into the kiss softly when Joe started to move them toward the bedroom and moaned even more when he fell on a soft mattress, Joe on top of him. The blue haired boy started to play with his shirt and slowly unbuttoned it.

When the shirt was completely unbuttoned Matt gazed up at Joe and suddenly thought of Tai, his body tensing immediately. Joe stopped and glanced at Matt, then smiled sadly, backing away a little from the blonde laying on his bed.

"You were thinking about him again right? That’s ok, I understand . . ." he said and made to leave the bed, but a pale hand stopped him.

"No . . . it’s ok Joe. I want it . . . I want you," Matt said softly and his pale hand slid from Joe’s wrist to his glasses, taking them off before resting them on the nightstand. Joe stared at Matt, then smiled before bending over the blonde to kiss him once again.

This time there was no more hesitation. Matt placed his arms around Joe’s neck and kissed him back. It felt good, it felt right, and it felt natural. Matt then felt Joe pull back slightly and let him go when the blue haired boy freed him of his pant and turned him around on his stomach.

He sighed in pleasure when Joe kissed a trail from his back to his neck and arched up into the touch, wanting more. Joe felt it and didn’t lose time. He bent over Matt and opened the nightstand’s drawer, taking a small bottle inside.

He placed a bit of the lotion on his fingers and slid two fingers inside of Matt. The blonde’s breath caught in his throat and his body stilled at the feeling. Joe kissed Matt’s shoulder to distract him from it and used his other hand to make his own sex slick with the lotion. He wasn’t going to take any chance of hurting his love.

Matt slowly relaxed and started to appreciate the erotic feeling dancing inside of him. It was more than he had ever dreamed. But he wasn’t comfortable as he was and he raised on all four. Then Joe’s fingers left him and he felt the other boy’s hard sex enter him in one slow thrust.

His mouth dropped open in surprise, pain, and pleasure. Joe then gripped his hips and held him still while he thrust all the way in, making sure he didn’t hurt the blonde in the process. Matt for his part was trying hard not to scream, not being used to any of this.

Then the movement began. Joe thrusting forward into him and himself staying motionless, breathless and sweating on the mattress, paralyzed by mixed feelings and intense pleasure.

Somewhere in his mind, he was trying to understand them. He was feeling pain, pleasure and completion. There was also a little fear, but he didn’t know where this one was coming from.

Then he lost it, the ecstasy too strong for him to think any longer and he grasped the edges of the bed with trembling hands, Joe still thrusting hard into him. At last the two lovers screamed in pleasure and the two bodies fell on the bed, still entwined in each other.

Matt’s eyes were wide, the meaning of what had just happened between them finally hitting home. He and Joe just had sex. He had wanted it to be Taichi, but he had ended up sleeping with Joe.

Matt groaned and rolled over in the bed. Next to him Joe got up and got dressed. When he left the room, Matt sat up and thought about what had just transpired between them. He was confused, and he still wasn’t sure of his feeling for Joe. So why did he let things get this far? He wasn’t a slut, he knew that.

Matt got up as well and gathered his clothes quickly and put them on. He then headed toward the living room. Joe was sitting on the couch, a glass in hand and head down. The sight was heartbreaking and Matt couldn’t help himself. He joined Joe on the couch, sitting next to him.

"So . . . where are we now Joe?" the blonde asked, making a drink for himself and running his hand through his blonde hair. The older boy raised his head and watched him. Then a sad smile touched his lips.

"It can be a one night stand if you want, or it can be more. But only if you want."

Matt placed the empty glass on the table in front of him and looked at Joe. A simple look was enough for him to know what he wanted to do. It was like the fog that was on his thoughts for the last two days had suddenly disappeared. He smiled at Joe and poured himself another drink.

"Then would you mind if I stayed here for a few days ?"

Joe’s bright smile and a deep kiss were all the answer he needed. Sometimes love was where you least expected it.
