Lies Hidden In the Heart
Taichi Kamiya slowly pulled his face away from Sora, their lips parting with a soft, romantic sound. He observed her pretty face, flushing with crimson, her eyes closed, her expression relaxed. Her ruby eyes slowly opened to meet his deep, liquid eyes, seeming to melt into them. Her strawberry hair seemed to glow around her as the sun sparkled in the sensuous strands. Tai couldn't believe he'd just had the guts to do what he did.
When he widened his eyes in shock at his ambiguous act, he half-expected Sora to slap him when her expression changed to one of shock as well. But she did no such act. Only looked down at the ground with a slightly dreamy gaze in her eyes. Tai wanted to do more, but was sure she'd resist. He climbed to his feet, stretching his legs out a little, and watched Sora on her knees, next to the flower bed, still gazing softly at the soil beneath her. Tai could've sworn he'd really done the right thing by acting on the feelings he'd had for her for quite some time, though they were unrealized feelings until now...
"So- Are we still on for dinner tonight? Even though we were originally planning to go as- as friends?" Tai asked, hope and worry sitting in his face. Sora nodded slowly, not even glancing up at him. Tai felt a crushing in his chest, and moved away from her, backing up, and exiting through the gate of the Takenouchi's shop.
Sora watched him go out of her peripheral vision, a warmth, yet an ache settling within her heart.
The new day of the week started out dreary as the teenagers of Odaiba High slumbered through the halls, each one occasionally glancing out the window to see if the gloomy autumn rain had ceased yet. Sitting in his Statistics class, Tai leaned onto an elbow and stared outside, waiting, and thinking about Sora, who sat on the other side of him. They still had many classes together... That was just one thing they had in common, and probably will always have in common, the classes they decided to take. She also had the next class with him. Modern Japanese, Science, and Skills.
Sora turned her head away from the sensei's lesson to admire Tai's handsome profile as he stared unaware out into the weather. The same weather that had prevented their dinner "date" on Saturday. Not that Sora complained. She had been feeling a little uncomfortable about him since that kiss, and was glad they had kind of avoided each other for the rest of the weekend. True, she'd been waiting for that kiss from Tai for a long time, and even saved herself for it, but it still came as kind of a shock. It was weird to think of Tai, the former leader of the Digidestined, the ambitious, spunky, over-energetic hyperactive boy they had all known and come to love, as a man who could arouse Sora in a way that she'd never known, as a man who could get what he wanted out of a lot of girls, though she knew he had never done such a thing. But still, it was weird, and a bit scary, to think of Taichi Kamiya in such a way...
The bell rang suddenly, loud and long, startling both Tai and Sora so that they jumped at the exact moment. For the first time in days, both friends looked at each other and smiled, slight laughs escaping their mouths as they tried to suspress them. Gathering their stuff, they walked to their next class together like they usually did.
Once again, Tai found himself sitting next to and staring at Sora as she focused on the lesson being taught. She felt his eyes burning into her, though, and she snuck a look at him, thinking he wouldn't notice. He did, and he leaned forward to try and get in Sora's line of vision. She leaned forward as well, defying Tai's obvious attempt to get her to look at him.
Tai noticed with a sudden intake of breath that Sora's neckline dipped a little, and he could see down her shirt, skimming the soft cleavage line above where her breasts, he knew, were forming. Tai suddenly flushed a bright red as he realized what he was trying to look at, and sat straight up in his chair stiffly, finally causing Sora to look at him strangely. Tai smiled at her to cover his internal embarrassment and batted his eyelashes at her in a humorous way. Sora couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle silently.
Is he flirting with me? Sora didn't know what to think of it. She was aware of all the girls who tried to shamelessly flirt with Tai, a boy much more mature than the rest in his class, along with being an amazing soccer player with a nice, lean, athletic build, and a hilarious personality as well. Having an adorable smile also played a mean part.
"Knock it off,Tai," she whispered, shoving him away from her desk as he leaned over to stare into her notebook.
"I didn't get the last couple of notes, can't you help me out?"
"No, if you weren't sitting over there drooling..."
"What?!"
"Mr. Kamiya, Ms. Takenouchi, do you both have something you'd like to share with the class?" the sensei barked. Sora snapped her attention to front of the class and Tai jumped back into his seat, bowing his head apologetically. A couple of snickers could be heard around the classroom, but Sensei Nagasi silenced them all with a look. The lesson continued until the period was over and school ended.
"Tai! Yoohoo, Tai... Over here!" A few of the cheerleaders from their last class waved to Tai and fluttered their eyelashes at him, all while Tai was trying to get his stuff shoved into his locker and get out of the school building and to soccer practice... even though it was still raining. Sora stood next to him, anxious to get to tennis practice, which would consist of just practice shots indoors. Tai's practice took place outside, rain or shine. The cheerleaders in their cute little bouncy uniforms, flirting with Tai, did not get past her attention, and neither did the fact that Tai smiled and waved back at them. Overcome with a sort of sadness, she spun on her heels and started walking off without Tai.
"Hey, Sora, wait! I still have to get my soccer uniform out of here... Oh well, like she cares. She's in a hurry, that's all." Several students walking by glanced at Tai strangely as he muttered to himself, but he didn't care. He was too distracted with watching Sora's green school uniform bouncing as she stalked away. Since when did she get so pretty? He decided not to let her walk away like that, with something apparently bothering her. He stood, slamming his locker, and dashed after her, into the rain.
Sora heard him catching up to her, and she sped her pace, not wanting him to see her jealousy. But he grabbed gently onto her arm and pulled her around to face him. By this time, they were far away from the other kids, and could converse in privacy. Sora flushed at his intimate act, not feeling cold anymore as the rain poured over both of them, soaking them to the bone...
Sora knew his next question, and hoped she could control herself enough to not answer him completely...
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
So what do you all think? ^_^ Hope it doesn't suck too bad. Oh well, I know it does, but please R/R and humor me, K? Arigatou! I really appreciate it, and maybe if you's guys demand it, I'll get the sequal up soon. Oh yeah, if the one holding the Taiora contest is reading this, would you please mail me and tell me what I need to do? Sorry, I haven't had time to read the updates... Ja ne till next fic.
