Sokeru – Takeru x Sora
Looks
His gaze on her is intense—fierce and it scares her, if only slightly. There's so much raw emotion in those two orbs, it makes her afraid and worried—and she's tough. She's motherly and kind, but she's tough and protective.
But a look in his eyes, especially when he smiles, and she melts and her knees are wobbly and her head is fuzzy and she doesn't like it.
That's what she tells everybody—she tells them she doesn't like it when he looks at her and makes her feel naked, exposed. That's what she tells Mimi every time her best friend asks, wondering why in the world Sora Takenouchi was looking love-struck when Takeru Takashi looked towards her. It's what she tells everyone, but she's almost pretty sure it's not true.
She's never felt this way before—not with Taichi and his fierceness or Yamato and his intensity. Takeru's innocent—naïve, cute, sweet, fresh, bright, refreshing flexible—and so unlike her previous boyfriends, it's weird and new and she likes it.
He has the ability to be laughing—joyous, infectious, awe-inducing laughing—kissing her speechless the next—nervous, awkward, rewarding, exhilarating, exciting, new.
Honestly, she loves the feeling. It's exciting, cool, interesting. She can't get enough of it—it's addicting, addictive like a drug, but not. It's natural, safe, she likes it.
If she told Mimi, she'd be sent to an asylum, but not for the right reason. She's not crazy because she likes Takeru—she's crazy in love with Takeru, but she doesn't know it, or maybe she does and doesn't want to admit it to herself.
But she's crazy one way or another, so sometimes she wonders why she doesn't just tell somebody and get it over with.
And then Takeru locks eyes with her and everything disappears and she doesn't want to be anywhere that he isn't. Takeru Takashi and his looks—his intense, fierce looks—are addictive and she can't get enough and she doesn't ever want to forget the feeling in her stomach when he lays a hand on her waist and brings his lips to hers and everything else fades away and Takeru's everywhere and there's nothing else.
Mimi asks her one day if she'll ever tell Takeru to stop.
Sora tells her no, I don't want him to.
Author's Note: You guys should be happy that I adore Adventure (and 02) characters so much, otherwise I'd be totally off this fandom. But I hold a special place in my heart for them, which is why I can still write about them. Tamers and Frontier, not so much, but I'll try to finish those up quickly so I don't have to worry about it.
This is finally half-way finished. And again: please, please review. I would beg, but it's sorta hard to do over the internet. Reviews mean everything to me. And it only takes a couple of minutes, really.
Hoped you liked it, at least.
