Tai POV
It didn't matter how many trips to the digiworld they had or how many adventures they went on, arriving back from the digital world was still ridiculously hard work. They landed in their usual disorganised cluster of bodies as they stumbled inelegantly into the school computer lab and collapsed in a bundle.
As the digidestined tried to extract themselves from the pile of bodies on the floor Sora and Tai tripped into each other. Tai found himself lying over her on the floor and gazing into the depths of her starry eyes.
Why wasn't he going out with her again? Oh yeah because he'd been too slow to make a move and now she'd moved on. His Sora was dating Matt. His best friend. God! How twisted was that?
"We should start looking for Davis and Ken. They're still not showing up on the digivices again" TK cast a glance at his brother
"What?"
He yelled pulling himself up. Before his brain caught up with him he extended his hand to the beautiful girl sitting on the floor. She accepted it with a flush of her cheeks as she met his chocolate eyes.
He didn't look at Matt. He was frightened of the expression he would see on his best friend's face. He needed to do what Sora had done and move on. She loved Matt now and Matt loved her. They were good for each other. Tai would just have to accept that that Sora didn't love him. Maybe she never had.
"Can we look for Davis and Ken now?" Veemon asked matching wormmon's beseeching gaze
"Of course"
Sora smiled down at the two digimon, before chancing a look at Tai. He hadn't realised he was still staring at her. As he looked away he caught Matt's narrowed eyes shooting daggers at him. They stared with a furious intensity that made Tai feel uncomfortable.
"But if they're not showing up on the digivices then they might not even be in the real world!" Kari stared at her digivice nervously.
"No. They're here" Veemon piped up
"He's right I can feel them" wormmon stiffened
"This way" Veemon indicated
They all followed the digimon but from the look he saw on Matt's face he guessed there was going to be a serious conversation later. Matt knew he wasn't over Sora and unfortunately Tai didn't have much to say that would put Matt's fears at rest.
