Hello, fellow writers. I know I haven't been active on here in probably over a year but I've been busy with life and this is the first story I've written in a while that I feel confident enough in to share. I hope you like it. Read & Review.
Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon (though I wish I did so that Taiora were canon).
Tai slowly opened the door to his bedroom so that the noise wouldn't disturb his girlfriend. He saw her sleeping in a slightly curled up position. He smiled as he looked at her still form and silently stepped into the room. It was late and Tai was in his pajama pants but he always went to bed last so that he could watch Sora sleep.
He walked over to the bed and sat down as gently as he could before turning to look at his girlfriend. Her expression was peaceful and has he watched the rhythmic rising and falling of her back, Tai smiled and his eyes filled with love. He'd known he loved her for a while, but he never told her so. They had only been together for three months and she was still dealing with her breakup with Matt. He didn't want to rush things and was afraid that verbalizing his feelings would do that.
On impulse, he reached out and began to trace the words "I love you" on her back with a feather-light touch, not wanting to wake her up. He sighed as he went along.
One day, I'll tell you those words face to face.
Tai continued to draw the words on her back for a few minutes before deciding to go to bed. He leaned over and kissed her cheek before carefully pulling back the covers and sliding into bed.
A couple hours later, Tai was roused from his sleep by a pair of strong but lean arms wrapping around his waist. He opened his eyes halfway and tried to turn to look at Sora, but before he could, he heard her whisper in his ear.
"I love you too Tai."
Now his eyes were fully open and he turned to look at her. "Sora-"
She put a finger to his lips to stop him and then kissed him tenderly. "We can talk about it in the morning. I just wanted to let you know."
Tai smiled, pecked Sora on the lips and then pulled her closer before closing his eyes and drifting off to sleep.
