Authors notes. I wrote this after having a dream in which Tai was depressed over how Sora beat him everything. The idea was cool and stuck in my mind so much I couldn't concentrate on my main story "Sora's brother". So I put it in a story and now it's out of my head and I can continue work on Sora's brother pt7. These changes were put up cause of reviews I got, you were right I did rush it. Just because I wanted to get it out of the way doesn't mean I can put up a piece of crap. They isn't a major difference but the ending makes a little more sense.
Tai's better half
As Tai walked to school he hung his head, he hadn't been having a good couple of weeks, this new girl named Sora had moved into town and started out doing him in everything! She was put into his class and already just as popular as him and captain of the girls soccer team AND she was out doing him in marks! She was a total witch! She seemed to take delight in beating him in any way then rubbing it in his face! Tai sighed as he neared the school, "I show her," he said sounding determined.
Sora was sitting in her desk as the guy she's been trying to impress since she first saw him walk in, she sighed inwardly as he walked to his desk, "he's so cute," she said quietly, though not quietly enough, the girl next to her heard her.
"Why not just go talk to him?" The girl asked. Sora was a little surprised at first then she realized what she was talking about.
"I can't do that Mimi, what if he doesn't like me?" Sora said lowering her her head onto arms which were crossd on her desk, she sighed longingly as she stared at him. He had his back to her and Sora liked it that way because then he didn't notice her staring. She had liked him ever since she arrived at this school, he was the first person she noticed when she stood up in front of the class to introduce herself. She loved his brown eyes, the way they seemed to burn with courage. She loved his goggles, they looked so cute! His hair was a mess, but it still looked good on him. She made friends with the girl that sat next to her, her name was Mimi, she was a little strange, she always wore pink, she was nice though so Sora didn't mind. Mimi told Sora all about the boy she saw, his name was Taichi, but everyone called him Tai. He was the captain of the boys soccer team! She was good at soccer! Maybe she could impress him by becoming the captain of the girls soccer team! So Sora did, it didn't work. Then she thought maybe he only likes smart girls, so she brought up her marks in school, nothing! He didn't even know she was alive. Sora then realized he was looking at her! She quickly turned away to hide the redness in her cheeks.
Tai hadn't been able to get that girl out of his mind and turned to look at her, she was staring at him! She then turned away, had she been staring at him? Or was his mind playing tricks on him? He continued to look at her, she wasn't that bad looking, kind of cute. That hat that she wore looked really nice on her, her hair looked really nice and soft as well. She had a nice figure as well. Tai found he was having trouble looking away, then he felt a hand on his shoulder and his head whipped around, it was only Matt. Matt had been Tai's best friend for years, he had a nice hair cut, wore a green muscle shirt and played the harmonica.
"Hey man why don't you ask her out?" Matt asked his obviously love struck friend.
"What do you mean ask her out," Tai demanded quietly, "I hate that girl! She makes me look like a fool at everything! Remember the last soccer game, she purposly fell into me!" He stated trying to sound angry over it.
Matt laughed quietly, he knew Tai had enjoyed those few moments with her on top of him. "okay then if you don't want her to win all the time then ask her out and dump her," Matt suggested. He knew Tai wouldn't dump her. He saw Tai grin, he then got out of his seat and walked back to Sora's seat.
"H,hey Sora," Tai said trying to sound cool.
"Hi," Sora wsn't about to let him know she was nervous.
"You're a pretty good soccer player," Tai said trying to make conversation, while making sure his voice didn't crack.
"Thanks, you're good too," Sora was working over time to keep the butterflies in her stomach down.
"Anyway you wouldn't want to go see a movie this weekend would you?" Tai blurted out hurriedly.
"Okay, why not," Sora replied cooly, though inside she was jumping for joy.
"Fine I'll pick you up about seven o'clock this Saturday," Tai then walked back to his desk and let out a sigh, "I'll show her," he though to himself, then Matt slepped him on the back and gave him a thumbs up.
Sora was jumping for joy in her mind, she didn't even notice Mimi congratulate her. The rest of the week flew by as Sora made plans for the best night of her life, while Tai made plans for her ultimate defeat.
As Tai's car approached Sora's house Tai began having second thoughts, she wasn't that bad, she was pretty and fun to be around. Tai pushed those thoughts aside, he would show her he was better than her, he'd put her in her place. They picked up Sora and the two kids sat in silence till they reached the theatre. They went to the movie Mission Impossible 2, they had loads of fun! this one guy near the front they had totally pissed off by throwing popcorn at him and in the end he was the one who got thrown out for shouting profanity.
As they let the theatre Sora's mind was occupied with wheather or not he'd kiss her. He then turned to her, she though for a moment he was going to kiss her but instead he only talked.
Tai walked Sora to her house, what should he do? Should he kiss her? What if she doesn't like it? What does that matter! He was only doing this to dump her eventually, so he could prove he was her better! Tai turned to Sora, pushed his feeling away and locked them off. He then put on a fake smile, "I had a good time Sora," he slowly bent down and placed a light kiss on her lips. They were relly soft and felt so nice against his, Tai's mind began to slip, he pulled his mind back to reality, he then broke the kiss and put on another fake smile, "better not do that to much," Tai thought to himself.
Sora's mind was swimming in delight. He had kissed her! She wished it had lasted longer. Why'd he stop? Wasn't she any good? Sora then realized her head was still titled back and her eyes were still closed, she slowly pushed them open and began to straighten her neck. She then looked away and blushed, "good night Tai," she said before she walked into her house.
Tai stood rooted in that spot staring at where Sora had been for a good few minutes. He then shook his head to clear his mind, "her better, her better," he repeated in his mind.
The next day in school went by smoothly, Tai spent alot of time with Sora, he had to make sure she thought he liked her, but he didn't! Tai would repeat in his mind that he didn't like her over and over. Tai eventually began to believe it. Tai didn't tell Matt thet he was going through his plan, he'd probably kill him! Matt probably thought that Tai actually liked Sora. Tai went out on dates with Sora for a couple of months. Then Tai went took Sora to dinner and afterwords when they were walking down the street Sora had her head on his shoulder.This was the moment Tai had been waiting for, time to show her who was the better. Tai took a deep breth then began to speak, "Sora I had an okay time, but you're not the type of girl I want for a girlfriend, I prefer more lady-like girls, not tom-boys." Tai closed his eyes and turned away from her, "I asked you out cause I thought I'd show the world I'm not predjudice against them, not because I like you," Tai finished, his heart screamed at him the truth and demanded he speak it but he ignored his heart and walked away, he could hear her begin to cry. Tai walked to his house and walked to his room where he fell against he wall clutching his chest, it hurt so much! Why'd he do that! Tai had realized on the way home how much she ment to him and how much her tears of pain stung is heart. He had to make up with her! His heart burned for her! Why hadn't he seen it sooner? Why! Cause he was an idiot! That's why, he was to busy trying to be better than her to see that he had only been better when she was around. Tai looked over to a picture of her and him on his desk, it was a picture of when they had entered a two on two soccer match witha couple of guys in the park who had thought they were the best. Tai had never had so much fun! Sora was the perfect partner. It would take a alot to make her fogive him. Tai walked over to his phone and called Matt and told him what happened.
"YOU LISTENED TO ME!!!????" Matt shouted at him, "boy you really screwed up."
"I know Matt but, but I need her, I can't think straight anymore what should I do?"
"You already screwed up big so the only way I can see you getting her to forgive you is publicly, that is in the middle of the hallway filled with other people, you're going to tell her the complete truth. Everything including where you first got the idea and why you decided to act on it." Matt told him.
Tai was terrified, "what if she doesn't forgive me?"
"Then you've lost her forever man, this is the only way I can see her forgiving you, and besides do you really think you deserve any better right now?" Matt asked sarcaticlly, "how did you go out so long with her and not notice you liked her?"
"I did, it's just I pushed those feelings aside every time they came up," Tai explained.
"You pushed them aside," Matt sighed, "WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU! THESE ARN"T JUST FEELINGS YOU PUSH ASIDE!" Matt shouted at him, "look you don't have any choice now, you either publicly humiliate youself or you lose her you don't have a choice." Matt said solumnly.
"No, I guess not, thanks Matt, I gotta go now, I've got to plan what I'm going to say to her and I've got to get some flowers from my mom the give to her." Tai hung up after Matt said good-bye, then he started planning for tomorrow.
Sora had ran home crying and was now in her room with her face buried in her pillow, she hadn't stopped crying and she didn't think she could, "why, why did he do this to me," she asked her stuffed bear next to her. It didn't answer of course it just felt good to talk to someone. Sora cryed herself to sleep dreading school Monday. On Monday she was walking down the hall telling Mimi about the date. Mimi was inraged! How could he have done this to Sora! Tai had always been a good guy, he never did anything like this before. Mimi then saw Tai walking toward Sora with his arm behind his back, she was about to give him a piece of her mind when Sora put her hand on her shoulder, "it's okay, I'll deal with him," she said. Mimi only nodded and backed away as Tai stopped a foot away.
"Here goes nothing," Tai thought to himself, "Sora..."
"We have nothing to talk about Taichi," she said coldly, Tai stood there for a moment, Sora was about to say more when he shoved about twenty roses into arms. He wasn't going to give in now! Sora stood staring at the roses for a moment, everyone was now staring at them, Sora wanted to know what he was planning now. She looked back to his face, he was crying! Sora couldn't move, she couldn't think and she couldn't speak.
"Sora I lied, I do love you!" Tai forced the words out from his heart, he couldn't remember what he'd planned to say so he winged it, "I lied when I said I didn't like tom-boys, I only said those things last night because I was jealous of you. The way you always beat me in everything. The way you played soccer, the marks you get, even the way people act around you! I wanted to better than you so Matt suggest I dump you, he only meant it as a joke but I took it seriously." Tai took a deep breath and decided to finish, "Sora I can't be better than you because you are my better half, you are what makes me whole and all that I can be. Without you I'm nothing, I can't live without you Sora, please," Tai fell to his knees, "I need you, I'm sorry, please, please forgive me," Tai begged looking at the floor. His hands balled into fists on his knees.
Sora couldn't believe her ears! He did love her! Sora coould feel the tears streaming down her cheeks, she dropped the roses, fell to her knees also and hugged Tai. She forgave him completely! She then pulled back and kissed him on the lips, they held there for a few moments till Sora remembered they were in the middle of school! That jerk had apologized and confessed his feelings for her in the middle of the hall! Sora pulled Tai to his feet then broe the kiss and kicked him in the shin, "that's for dumping me in the first place," she then kicked him in the same shin again, "that was embarassing me in front of the intire school," Tai was now hopping on onew leg, Sora then tilted his chin so he was looking at her, she then kissed him again, "and that was for apologizing you big jerk and I'll never forgive you!" Sora then walked to her class, she turned to look at Tai, "I've got soccer practice later and I'd like it if you'd help me out," she said smiling, Tai smiled back and nodded, he then began to speak but Sora cut him off, "I'm still mad so we aren't speaking till the soccer practice." Sora the walked in to class with a bunch of girls applauding her.
Tai stood there confused as Matt walked up beside him, "does that mean she's forgiven me?" Tai asked his long time friend. Matt shrugged his sholders. He's found with girls there just isn't anyway to know for sure, so just don't ask. They followed the girls into class and the rest of the day Tai spent trying to figure out his new girlfriend. Sora spent the rest of the day with a smile on her face cause this day she too had found her better half in Tai.
THE END!
Authors notes. I wrote this after having a dream in which Tai was depressed over how Sora beat him everything. The idea was cool and stuck in my mind so much I couldn't concentrate on my main story "Sora's brother". So I put it in a story and now it's out of my head and I can continue work on Sora's brother pt7. These changes were put up cause of reviews I got, you were right I did rush it. Just because I wanted to get it out of the way doesn't mean I can put up a piece of crap. They isn't a major difference but the ending makes a little more sense.
