A/N: Hey all, it's 4:00 AM, and I'm tired.
This was brought about unknowingly by Gryphon's wing, who suggested I write a Michi. So, thank Gryphon's wing as well as me if you like this, and don't forget to review! It's the only way I know what you think about it. Please note: I'm all for criticism. Not flames. If you have nothing nice to say, just don't, please. No one likes seeing a flame on their story, or one they enjoyed.
This is MICHI, Tai/Mimi. Don't like, don't read.
I don't own Digimon. If I did, thousands would either see me as a god, or be pissed at me for a particular pairing in the epilogue of Digimon Adventure. You know which one I mean. This A/N is getting pretty long, so without further ado: Olives.
You're so perfect.
"Come on, I see the way you look at him," He says, forcing a grin.
"Yeah," She sighs, looking off into space. The sight makes his heart pound. "I guess it is kind of obvious."
I might go so far as to say that you're too perfect.
"And you, you don't get off so easy mister!" She jokes, "I can tell you like Sora!"
I wish.
"Well..." The brown haired boy blatantly shifts his eyes from left, to right, and back again.
The beautiful girl merely chuckles, and says, "I knew it."
If only you did...
"Actually, Meems, I don't."
"Hrmm?" She cocks her head to the side, a confused expression slowly spreading across her face, only adding the to the beauty.
"Just kidding," He says quickly, forcing another false smile.
"Good."
I want to tell you. I want to tell you so, so badly. I want to- No. Just keep the feelings to yourself. It wouldn't work out.
"So why d'you like Matt, huh? Don't tell me it's just cause he's a rockstar," He forces out, grinning, but knowing full well the answer will lead to more pain.
"Well, he's nice to me...And he's smart... and really cute!" She finally gets out, squealing on the penultimate word.
I'm nice to you... Maybe I'm not as smart, but- Stop. Just stop... Am I not as cute? No! Why don't you love me? Stop! Why don't you-
"Stop!"
"Stop what, Tai?"
Oh no...
"I..." He starts, but can't continute.
"Tai, what is it?"
"Er..."
Why? Why? WHY? Why can't I tell you? Why can't I tell you that I want to hold you, to be yours... Why can't I tell you that-
"I love you, Tai..." The girl with red eyes whispers into his ear. He shuts his eyes, and smiles.
"I love you too, M—Sora."
When I shut my eyes... It's her whispering to me, not you...
She wraps her arms around him, and pulls him into a deep kiss.
When I shut my eyes, it's her kissing me...
She pulls away, at looks at him, frowning. "Is something wrong?" She asks him.
Yes!
"No, why?"
"You just seem... Distracted."
"It's nothing, don't worry," He lies.
I'm living a lie. I don't love you-
He finally speaks his thoughts.
The response is less than pleasant.
"So, why did you want to talk to me?"
I know why already...
"Sora told me something interesting, Tai."
"Oh," He says, playing dumb, "What?"
Why do I have to lie?
She giggled and said, "Well, she told me..."
"Yes?" He asked, bracing himself for the worst.
"That Matt likes me!" She let out a high-pitched squeal.
...Thank you, Sora.
"That's great!" He cries, rudely reminded of their conversation several weeks prior. She hugs him excitedly.
I just lied to you again. Why? Sora never said that... Why am I scared to admit it? Come on...
"I love..." She mutters.
"Huh? I didn't catch that," He says, confused.
"Uh... Olives!" She devises swiftly.
No... Why? I'm so pathetic...
"Want some? We have'em in the fridge!" She says in mock-excitement.
"Meems, I hate olives," He laughs, and continues, "Plus, your house is quite a ways away."
Why am I such an idiot? How could I forget where we are?
"Oh, uh... It is, isn't it?" She asks dumbly.
Olives? That is so not what she said. What was it... Nothing. She must just be excited about 'Matt.'
"Tai, can I tell you something important?"
No backing out now.
"What?"
"Sora...Didn't tell me Matt likes me..." She says, looking embarrassed.
Oh God! No! No!
"Then...What did she tell you?" He asks, scared.
"She, kinda...Um...Well..."
"Mimi, what?"
"She told me... Uh..."
He finally snaps.
"Just say it! She told you I love you!"
Woah. Not expecting that. Okay. Things are... Are... Are they easier or harder?
"The thing is, Tai..."
Do it.
"I..." She falters again.
Now! Do it now!
"I love you too."
What happened after passed in a blur... I think there were kisses, there was definitely a huge release of bottled emotions, and I know that I'm happy now. Because she's so perfect.
She's too perfect.
