48Gotta Be You
a yamato and mimi fanfiction
Thank you for all the reviews! (: They've encouraged me to continue this story!
And to Mr. Ezio Uchiha: It's a bit late but… Go on and take her to watch the movie! I mean, my story is only based on it so it's not exactly the same(especially the first chapter; that was mostly me). But I was supposed to watch The Vow with this one guy but stuff happened and we didn't and I was really bummed. I say go for it~ You'll end up making her really happy. I promise!
"What do you mean by 'she can't remember me?' I'm her husband."
"I'm sorry, sir, but these things happen. Especially how Ms. Tachikawa wasn't wearing her seat-"
"Yeah, yeah, I know. Her name is Mrs. Ishida by the way. Any idea when exactly she's gonna remember me?" I asked impatiently.
Put yourself in my shoes. You wait a whole week not knowing if your wife is going to wake up and when she finally does, she doesn't remember you. Perfect! And you know who she asks for right when she wakes up? Taichi Kamiya! Her ex-boyfriend!
The doctor cleared her throat. "Mr. Ishida, I'd like you to know that the brain is a very complex structure. It's different for everyone. There are even times when people with amnesia don't recover…"
"Wait, wait, wait. So you're saying Mimi might not remember me?"
The doctor sighed before saying, "It's a possi-"
Not bothering to listen to the rest of what she had to say, I left and slammed the door to her office.
Mimi and I were just at the wrong place at the wrong time that night.
February 24, 2012. We were celebrating our third year anniversary together and first anniversary as a married couple with some friends at a bar. It was a fun night; we laughed, drank, and danced. It was a surprise to me how in love I still was with Mimi. I just didn't know I was capable of doing it. The me from five years ago wouldn't even know what the first step to loving someone was.
After the party Mimi and I got in my car and started driving home. I know, I shouldn't have been driving even though I was only a little bit tipsy… Mimi, on the other hand, was crazy drunk. She was adorable as always though… Anyways! My tipsy driving wasn't the cause of the accident though…
As I was driving, I was trying to keep a conversation going with Mimi but she kept ignoring me and reaching for the zipper on my pants.
"Mimi, stop it. I'm driving," I scolded her. It wasn't that I didn't want what she wanted; I just wanted to get home first.
"Come on Maaaaaaatt! I read in a magazine that…" She took off her seat belt and leaned towards me to whisper the rest in my ear. "I'm more likely to get pregnant if we do it in a car."
What.
What kind of magazines was she was reading…? And wait, what?
Mimi and I have been trying for a little over a month and were unsuccessful so far. It's a mystery why though. We… uhh, err… do it almost everyday, but there have been no signs of pregnancy yet.
"Calm down, babe. Just wait until we get home, please," I pleaded, hoping that she would get the idea and give it up.
Then she started crying. You see, when Mimi is drunk, she becomes very sensitive and everything that doesn't go her way makes her upset. Sighing, I cursed myself for not being able to watch my wife cry. Pulling up into an empty parking lot at the supermarket, I turned to the woman next to me.
"Listen baby, don't cry. I just want to make sure that we're safe at home before I show you what I want to do with you." I gave her that smirk I knew she loved. Caressing her face, I urged on, "So show me that beautiful smile, please?" And she did. "Aw there it is…"
She leaned in to me and kissed my lips. "I love you," she whispers as she pulls away. "I love you more," I tell her before kissing her again; this time, with more force and tenderness. She smiles into my lips and opens her mouth to let me through. I couldn't get enough of this woman. I wanted her right then and there, and I intended to get it. Forget what I said earlier about wanting to get home first. As our kiss got more heated, I reached for the zipper at the back of her little black dress.
"You're the best, Matt. I love you."
And that was the last thing I heard her say before something impacted the back of our car.
All I could remember was seeing Mimi's body fly out after her head came into contact with the windshield. Before I could do anything to stop her, I passed out.
"Hey Meems…" I greeted from the door of her hospital room.
"Tai!" Mimi's cheerful voice squealed with delight. "I'm glad you came!" Her warm smile made me blush. Even though we had broken up years ago, she never failed to make a man feel like jelly. Mimi was the most gorgeous woman I knew (but don't tell Sora I said that.)
Studying her appearance, she didn't look different. She still had her long brown hair and gorgeous hazel eyes. But her skin was paler than usual and there were a couple of stitches on her forehead. She also looked a lot skinnier, if that was possible.
I approached her but didn't stand too close. "How are you?" I asked cautiously. We may be friends, but Mimi was still my ex-girlfriend. There would always be that distance between us.
"Come closer, you dummy. I missed you!" she said to me, reaching for my hand. As I hesitantly stepped closer to her, she pulled me in for a hug then kissed me on the lips.
I melted. How had forgotten how great of a kisser Mimi was? Matt was one lucky guy…
"Dude, what the fuck?"
Oh shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. Fuck me. Fuck my life.
"MATT! Hey there! I was just leaving…" I said, quickly pushing Mimi away from me. Before either of them could say anything, I was already out the door.
"I-I'm sorry Matt… I didn't mean it," she started, her voice trembling. "I know I'm… your wife, but…" Oh god. Don't say it, Mimi. You're killing me here… "When I saw Tai…" Don't say it. "I don't know how to say it…" Then don't. "He's the one I'm in love with."
"Hey Matt, how're you feeling?" Sora asked as she and Tai entered the house.
"Like shit," I muttered into the pillow. I was lying face down on the couch in the living room. The house felt so empty without Mimi here. She was still at the hospital because the doctors wanted to keep an eye on her for now but I hate to say it but I don't think she'll be coming home with me any time soon.
Fuck. I don't even know what to do right now.
I want to go there and convince her that she belongs with me. And I want her to come home.
But I also want to give her space. I don't want to suffocate her. I can only imagine how hard this situation must be for her. It's just really hard for me too, you know?
"Don't beat yourself up, Matt. It'll all be good in the end!"
"Shut up Tai. I'm still mad at you."
I was at the hospital again, despite Mimi's protests. "Mr. Ishida, can you come with me to Ms. Tachikawa's room?"
I stopped correcting her about Mimi's name a while ago. Plus Mimi said that she'd rather be called Tachikawa right now anyways. Does my life suck or what?
I followed the doctor silently and had my breath taken away by Mimi once again. She wasn't wearing the hospital gown she'd been wearing for the past week or two but was wearing her usual clothes (which I brought for her from home.) Her stitches were still there, but her skin tone was back to her normal color. She was looking down at the ground, clutching her stomach, and seemed like she wanted to throw up.
"Hey baby, are you okay…?" I asked, concerned and putting an arm around her. I know she doesn't see me like her husband right now, but she knew there was nothing she could do about the way I felt about her.
Then she started crying. Really hard. "Babe? Please talk to me…" I said, rubbing her back. I couldn't stand to see her like this, and it killed me how I didn't know why she was crying. Was it something I did? Was I coming off too strong?
"Ms. Tachikawa, would you like to tell him or should I?" the doctor asked. Man, I wish she would just leave.
Mimi held out her hand, motioning for the doctor to stop talking. After calming herself down, she started, "Matt…"
"Yes, baby?"
"I'm pregnant."
Not my best chapter, I apologize.
But it will get better. Thanks for reading, and please review! xx
