Disclaimer: Digimon are not mine *sigh* This is my first Taiora, so I hope its good.
Shattered Dreams
It was the best night of Tai's life. It was the worst night of Tai's life. He awakes in a cold sweat every night. The assaulting smell and sounds of the hospital swarm around his head like a killer bee. Tai closes his brown eyes in agony. He can remember every detail of that night perfectly. It had been the perfect evening..........
(flashback)
I love coming up here.
Me too. Tai says.
Everything looks so small up here.
Tai nervously pats the bulge in his jacket pocket. Its reassuring presence helps to calm down his nerves.
Do you remember the first time we came up here? Sora asks Tai.
Like it was yesterday.
Sora looks deeply into Tai's brown eyes.
What did you want to talk about?
I....uh.... Sora we've known each other for a long time.
Almost our whole lives. Sora agrees. She looks at Tai. Why is he so nervous?
We've shared more in our 19 years than most people ever could share.
Sora knows he's talking about things like their time in the digital world.
I've been thinking about something for a while now. Tai admits.
What were you thinking about? She asks.
I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Tai murmurs.
Tai takes out a tiny black velvet box.
Is that what I think it is? She asks nervously.
Tai nods nervously. Sora will you marry me?
Tai, I don't know what to say.
Say yes Sora. Make me the happiest man in the universe
Sora stares at the ring, and at Tai's waiting face. They are only 19 years old. Should they take this big of a step? Are they too young? Sora looks into Tai's eyes, full of hope and love.
Yes, of course I'll marry you Tai. After all, she reasons with herself. We've known each other almost our entire lives, and have been through more together than most couples ever go thru in a lifetime. Besides, they love each other. Nothing can change that.
Yes. Yes, Tai. I'll marry you.
Tai gently grasps her hand and slides the ring onto her finger. Sora admires the way it sparkles. Its beautiful.
I know its small, but....
No. Its perfect, just like our life is going to be together.
I love you Sora.
I love you to Tai.
He tips her face toward his. The moon and the stars bear witness to their first kiss as soon to be husband and wife. Sora curls up against Tai's warm bulk. She sighs happily and closes her eyes.
We can't fall asleep Tai. She cautions.
We won't. Tai reassures her with another kiss.
The stars in the sky begin to be swallowed up by clouds. Drops of water begin to fall down on the sleeping couple.
mmmm. OH NO!
What's wrong Sora? Hey its raining! Tai reaches for her sleepily.
Tai we fell asleep. Its... checks her watch almost 2 a.m.
DAMMIT! We better go.
They slid into Tai's black jeep quickly. Tai carefully drives down the winding mountainous road, slick with rainwater. They both heave a sigh of relief when they car begins to head into town.
What is that? Tai asks.
The headlights reflect a large shape standing at the side of the road.
Its a person Tai!
It must be a hitchhiker. Tai states. He continues to drive, intending to drive past the figure standing in the rain.
STOP THE CAR TAI! Sora yells.
Tai stares in shock at the bedraggled figure standing in the rain.
