Hi readers! This story is inspired by true events… Not me specifically, but one of my best friends. People who are old enough (yes, I know youngens sneak into the M rating section of FF), will maybe relate? Hm. Anyway, enjoy?

Better Than Dreams

Her heart was beating faster than it ever had, her body yearning for his. She felt his breath on her neck, chills running up her spine in response. "Sora…" He whispered. God she wanted to hear him say it again. She ran her fingers down his chest, pulling apart the buttons of his shirt to feel the skin and firmness of his chest.

He smirked against her lips, pushing her down against the white comforter of her bed. She tangled her fingers in his hair, the heat of their bodies combining. He pulled his lips away, his face hovering over hers. Her eyes met his. A hint of devious excitement shining in his as he tugged her loose tank top over her head. "We won't be needing that…" He chuckled, making her giggle.

Sora's giggle stopped in her throat as she felt his lips back on her collar bone, beginning to trail down her body. His hands ran over her breasts, down to her thighs, linking under her legs. Her back arched as she nibbled on her bottom lip, gasping as his lips teased on her stomach.

"I've alway wondered what this would be like…" He said. She smirked, sitting up to look at him as hovered between her thighs. "I guess it's time to find o-" her voice turned to a moan as he lowered between her thighs. Sora couldn't believe the pleasure running up her body. She whispered his name as her fingers gripped the bed sheets. "Tai…" His fingers trailed up her calf, making their way-

*BEEP BEEP BEEP*

Sora shot up on bed, sweat on her brow as her alarm clock blared in ears. She slapped it off, her hand slamming down on the red button as she clenched her chest. Oh my GOD. She thought, catching her breath as the cloudiness left her mind.

"… Weird dream?" Her friend Mimi said, slipping through Sora's door to check on her.

Sora rubbed her temples, sucking on her lip before answering, "Y-Yeah… It was… Weird for sure…" Sora had never thought of Taichi that way. He had only been her best friend for years, nothing she thought would drip over into her sexual fantasies and needs. Mimi chuckled, "you look like you've seen a ghost, Sora." She stopped in her doorway, "now hurry! We have to meet everyone for brunch. Mimosaasssssss!" Mimi sang the last word as she slipped back to the living room of their apartment.

Letting out a deep sigh, Sora stood from her bed. She walked into her bathroom, splashing cold water on her face before brushing her teeth. What even was that? Tai isn't… Even just thinking of his name brought a blush to her cheeks. She glared at her reflection, angered that she had been betrayed by her own body. "How could you." She deadpanned to her reflection.

The red head ran a hair brush through her hair, pulling the strands up into a ponytail with a few loose strands framing her face. She applied some makeup, just enough to hide how flustered she still was from her dream.

Slipping into her favorite pair of jeans, Sora stopped in front of her closet. There it was. The loose tank top she was wearing in her dream. "Nope!" She threw the garment of clothing out of her way, settling for a grey crop top. She slipped her feet into a pair of brown booties, checking herself one last time in the mirror before letting Mimi know she was ready.

"All set to go!" She said, looking around for Mimi, "Mimi?" "In here!" She heard the voice coming from the other girl's room. "I'm not sure what to wear…" Sora gave her friend an annoyed look, "You just rushed me out of bed to get ready and you aren't even dressed?" Mimi gave her an apologetic smile, chuckling nervously, "Oh you know… Classic… Mimi?" Sora rolled her eyes, smiling as she threw a cute button up at Mimi. "Here. This. This is IT." Mimi shrugged, slipping the shirt onto her body. "Good eye, Sora. Good. Eye." She turned in the mirror, checking every angle of her body. "Shall we?" Sora nodded, grabbing the keys to her car.

"So…" Mimi said, her eyes sliding to Sora in the drivers seat. "So… What?" Sora knew what Mimi was going to ask about. "Okay. That dream. You woke up so flustered… Was it a bad dream?" Sora felt her palms get sweaty. "It definitely wasn't too bad…" Sora cleared her throat, trying her best to keep the subject off of her dream.

"Was Taichi in it?" Sora's eyes widened and her head snapped to look at Mimi, "What? Why would you say that? I-I mean maybe? I… I don't really remember." Oh. He was definitely in it.

Mimi held her hands up defensively, smiling sheepishly. "No reason, Sora! You just said his name, so I was curious." Sora blushed, pulling into a parking lot. "Oooooh… Oh… That type of dream, hmmmm?" Mimi wiggled her eyebrows, catching onto Sora's nerves. Damn. She's good.

"Mimi, it was just a dream alright? Don't get any ideas or…" Mimi still had that dumb look on her face. "Was it at least good? It's been awhile since you've had a man over." Sora shrugged, "I never kiss and tell. My dream. My business." Mimi pouted, accepting defeat as she stepped out of Sora's car.

"And that's why I'm sure I won't make it into medical school…" Jou droned on about his recent test, thinking he had just ruined his career from it. "Ah," Tai said from across the table, "C'mon. One test doesn't mean it's the end." The others nodded, expressing their agreements.

Sora would have joined in if she wasn't distracted by Tai's arms… Hm… And his lips and… She shook her head, sipping her mojito as she took a deep breath. Are you fucking kidding me. I can't even make it through lunch with him now? "Right, Sora?" I mean, he is hot. Right? Ew. Did I just call Tai hot? "Sora?" He is something though. He- "Sora!" Tai said, snapping her from her thoughts.

"Hm what? Yeah yeah. Medical school yeah," Sora said quietly. All of the eyes were on her, no one saying anything. She looked around, sinking back into her chair. "What…" Yamato chuckled, "we were asking if you were going to make it to my show tonight." Sora felt a blush creep to her cheeks. She was lost in her thoughts about- "I could pick you up? Mimi is going to be there already." Tai offered.

Sora shifted her gaze to his, doing her best to avoid looking at his lips. From Tai's other side, Mimi was playfully wiggling her eyebrows, a joke Sora would smack her for later. "Pick me up? Sure. Yeah sounds good." She went back to her food, Tai giving her a confused look before dropping the subject.

Mimi cleared her throat, "Anyway, I'm super excited about the show. I'm sure it's going to be amazing!" Izzy nodded in agreement, Jou giving Yamato a big smile.

Tai leaned over to Sora, "You good? What's wrong?" He whispered. She did her best to shove the feeling of him whispering in her ear. He's close… "Oh! I'm great. Don't even worry. Just a little tired, okay?" She gave him her best smile, knowing he didn't buy any of it.

"I don't know, Mimi." Sora sighed as she stared at the ceiling of Mimi's room, her back on the girl's plush, pink rug. "I couldn't even make it through lunch without thinking of that dream…" Mimi was digging through her closet, trying to find a dress that showed just enough of her curves.

"Maybe it's a sign," the brunette said, "A sign that you should climb Taichi like a tree." Sora chuckled, "Maybe… He wouldn't…" Mimi peaked her head out of her closet, an 'are you seriously about to say that' expression on her dainty features. "Okay maybe he would… But wouldn't that be weird?" Sora said.

Mimi found the dress, "Aha!" She slipped into it, "zipper?" Sora stood, zipping Mimi's dress. "Sora. Listen. Maybe these feelings will pass and you'll go back to just… Normal? But I don't think it would hurt for you to try…" She smirked, "I've been waiting years for this to happen anyway. And you've been uptight lately. Get laid. Please."

Sora rolled her eyes, "Mhm. Easier said than done." Mimi grinned, grabbing her heals as she rushed out the door, "see you in a few hours, Sora! Spread them thighs!" Sora chuckled, lying down on the couch.

His lips were between her thighs, kissing up the space that made her moan his name and beg for more. "Tai… Oh…" She heard him chuckle, pulling his mouth to trail it back up her body. "I didn't find you to be the vocal type," he smirked and she smirked back. "You make it hard to be quiet…" Those words made his grin widen.

He moved his arms from under her thighs, placing one on her breast, his lips back on her own. She felt his body lower on her's, a gasp slipping past her lips as he pinched her nipple playfully. His lips were on her ear, taking her lobe between them as he nibble softly.

Tai moved his hand between her legs, his fingers exploring more than she anticipated. "Say my name…" He whispered huskily. She moaned his name, "Taichi…" She felt him smirk against her hot skin, a feeling of disappointment as he moved his hand back up her body.

"You ready? You feel ready," he said before pressing his lips against hers. His tongue slipped into her mouth, wrestling hers as he pushed his hips between her thighs. It was close. She felt him against her entrance, his hips pushing into her and then-

*KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK*

Sora jolted from her nap. "Shit… Shit shit shit…" She said running to the door as she swung it open. "You ready?" It was Tai. The man she had just dreamed of running his lips along her body and… "No…" She said, her voice cracking, "I-I fell asleep. Come in I'll be quick." Tai smiled, stepping into the entry way of her apartment. "Sleep well? You seem flustered." He chuckled, watching Sora run around as she collected her things. You could say that… Oh god his hands. I bet he's great with them… "Just this dream I keep having. It's… Different…" She chuckled, slipping into her room to quickly change.

"Different?" Tai asked loudly so she could hear, leaning against the countertop. Sora paused. How am I going to get around this… She zipped up her heals, her tight skirt and crop top showing more than she had hoped. Oh well. Too late to be modest.

"Yeah. Different… But I'm not complaining!" She said. I actually wouldn't mind taking another nap… It was just getting good. Tai laughed, growing silent as Sora exited her room.

He cleared his throat, his brown eyes running up and down her figure. "Y-You look great, Sora…" She blushed, looking to the ground and hoping he didn't see it. "Thank you… It's not too much?" Her hands were sweating. Damnit. Tai shook his head, "I'm not going to complain if you want to show that much…" His voice was playful. She rolled her eyes, nudging his arm as she went to leave.

"What a gentleman. C'mon," he followed, his hand on her lower back. She wished it was lower.

The music was loud. Tai and Sora made their way through the crowd, looking for Mimi and Izzy. "Lot of people," Tai said, close to her ear. Sora closed her eyes, trying to keep her mind off of how he whispered to her in her dreams. She nodded to acknowledge him.

Sora spotted Izzy, grabbing Tai's hand to pull him in the right direction. "You guys made it!" Izzy said, greeting his friends as he tried his best to avoid the screaming girls squishing against him. "Yeah! We wouldn't miss it!" Tai yelled over the yelling.

"Oh! Sora, there you are!" Mimi shoved through the girls. "These girls? Crazy. They have NO CHANCE." She yelled to them, hoping to assert her dominance on the blonde lead singer of the group. "Mimi," Sora said, "I think they know they don't have a chance." She chuckled. "When will he be on?" Tai asked, his body being pushed closer against Sora's. "Next!" Just as Mimi replied, the first chord to Yamato's first song filled the room. Mimi squealed excitedly along with the many people who surrounded them.

Sora felt the crowd rush forward, causing Tai to bump into the back of her. "Sorry…" He said, his hands resting on her hips and not moving. She didn't want them to move.

The first few songs played, Tai's arms wrapping around her waist more and more as the night went on. He must just need something to lean on. As she thought this, she felt the top of his chin rest on the top of her head. She chuckled, typical Taichi.

The crowd began to grow thin as the concert was close to an end. Sora sighed, not wanting to leave the closeness of Tai outside of her most recent dreams. "Hey…" she felt his words tickle her ear, "want to get going? I want to beat the crowd… We can tell Yamato he did great tomorrow." His lips were close to her ear and all she could think about was the feeling of them on her skin.

"Yeah," she said, waving to Mimi as she turned to walk through the crowd, "let's get going."

The two sat in Sora's room, laughing as Tai made a joke of all of the screaming girls. Sora laughed, her body leaning into Tai's on the bed, his arm snaked around her shoulders. Has he always been this fun? The laughter died down, the two sitting in a comfortable silence.

"Hey Sora?" She looked at him, "hm?" He paused, shaking his head. "Nothing. Never mind." She rolled her eyes, nudging him, "tell me!" Her fingers began to tickle him, a thing they have done since they were kids. Tai was surprisingly ticklish. "Stop! Stoppppp!"

He laughed, grabbing her wrists as he pinned them to the bed. Sora's mind flashed to her dreams. Oh. No. Oh no. She swallowed, Tai's laughter dying down as he realized he had her pinned.

His body hovered over her's, his brown eyes searching her crimson. The two didn't exchange words. He lowered his lips to hers, a soft, quick kiss. Sora closed her eyes, opening hers to and him watching her, searching for confirmation.

Without hesitating, Sora freed her arms and pulled his face back down to hers. That lit the fire that had been building between the both of them for the past couple years. One of his hands was against the back of her neck, pressing her lips harder against his. His other hands snaked down her body, running over her hips as it slid her skirt off.

Sora tugged at the bottom of his shirt, pulling it over his head and only breaking their kiss for a few seconds. Her shirt went next. His hands worked on her breasts and body, exploring more than they had in her dreams. She sat up, moving her own hands to quickly unzip his jeans.

She was back on her back, arching as his hands moved between her legs. He kissed her like he had been waiting his whole life. She moaned against his lips as his fingers slide between her inner thighs, his name mixing with her breathing. "Tai…" He smiled against her lips, breaking the kiss to look down on her.

"You sure…" She smirked at him, biting her bottom lip before pulling his lips back to hers. Tai groaned at her response, a sound that she would grow to love. He spread her thighs further apart, pressing his forehead against hers as he pushed into her.

Sora moaned as pleasure danced through her body, a feeling she had only known from her dreams. He moved in her, slowly at first as they both adjusted to the rhythm. "Sora…" her name left his lips. She cussed from the pleasure as he picked up the pace. Better than my dreams…
