Epilogue
Matt saw with Tai in the park, neither of them saying a word. Both had changed so much in the past few days, so much had happened. They sat quietly reflecting, wondering whether the changes were for the better, and the whole cause and effect in the scheme of life.
Currently going on in Tai's mind was what he considered the best change of all. He and Matt were going out. After everything had calmed down and the police had left Tai's house Matt had asked Tai. Simple as that, seeming to be almost without thought, he had said the words so easily.
Tai was still thunderstruck about it. He never would have been able to say it so calmly. He hadn't even admitted his feelings until Matt had tried to kill himself. It had been the worst thing Tai could have imagined, Matt cutting himself like that, but there wasn't a chance they would have hooked up.
Of course Tai and Matt weren't the only ones that had hooked up, Mimi and Sora were now going out. Sora had heard Mimi had been shot and was in the hospital and rushed to see her. Once at the hospital Sora had found her self unable to stop the words from flowing out of her, she had babbled on for a while about how much she loved Mimi and couldn't bear the thought of losing her. Sora had only quit talking when Mimi had sat up and cut off the flow of words with a kiss.
Matt's thoughts were on different matters, like how people were treating him now. It didn't really bother him, it more of amused him. People would shy away from him in the halls of school or bound towards him demanding a play by play of the drama that had unfolded in the Yagami house. As if it were a football game, that's what really made him laugh.
Matt's dad had a different reaction though, he had become even more worried about the mental stability of his son. Matt frowned at the thought, but for the time being he had convinced his father that he was fine without a doctor.
His dad had argued a bit, saying he was a suicidal teenager that had just killed a man. Matt couldn't help himself from laughing at that. His counter argument was that he wanted to live now, he was getting through his depression with help from Tai and since when did killing the man that had injured his friend and another friend's mother mean he had to go crazy.
He was just relieved that while Mrs. Yagami had a week's worth of stay in the hospital she was fine. Mimi was already shopping again, something told Matt that as long as Mimi had that to hold onto she would still be kicking.
With that last thought in mind Matt turned to Tai. Matt had something to hold onto now, so he gently grasped Tai's hand and kissed him deeply, knowing that this new feeling inside of him was blooming into love, it was not a fleeting thought.
