Tai slowly opened his eyes, not able to keep them closed any longer, when it was obvious he couldn't sleep for the night. Not when what he'd just been through had been as sweet and fullfilling as it was, as anything could possibly be.


(I could stay awake
just to hear you breathin'
watch you smile while you are sleepin'
while you're far away dreamin')


Tai heard the soft, heavenly breathing next to him as he looked over to her, his best friend, smiling while she slept, a content, satisfied expression on her sweet face.


(I could spend my life
in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment
forever....)


Tai couldn't restrain his arm from moving slowly to the spot where her arm rested atop her breast, feeling it rise and fall with her steady breathing. Tai thrived in the quiet of the night, just the sound of their two breaths synchronizing, the apartment complex settled with the sleeping occupants, Sora's mother away for the night....


(Every moment spent with you
is a moment I treasure....)


Tai blinked slowly, not wanting to totally cut off his vision of the loveliness before him.


(Don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
'cause I'd miss you baby
and I don't wanna miss a thing)


Tai couldn't believe his dream, this dream, of Sora Takenouchi, his best friend, lying next to him, beneath his one arm, above his other, as it lay snugly between her bare back and the soft bedsheets.


('Cause even when I dream of you
the sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you baby
and I don't wanna miss a thing)


He smiled his sweet, innocent child-like smile, the one that was so familiar with all of his friends when they knew he was up to something mischevious. When his beautiful liquid eyes narrowed and his eyebrows moved together in a frown, though his cute half-smile still remained, turning his face into and incredibly cute visage. He gently pulled her closer to him as he shifted himself so that he could move closer himself without awakening her.


(Lying close to you
feeling your heart beatin')


Tai felt her heart keeping time with his as he gathered her up gently, breathing in her rosy, female scent, the soft thumping against his bare chest as he slowly rested it against hers.


(And I'm wonderin' what you're dreamin'
wonderin' if it's me you're seein')


He leaned gently over her, feeling the soft linen sheets between their chests.


(Then I kiss your eyes
and thank God we're together)


His soft lips brushed her soft, beautiful eyes just before they fluttered open, then they moved to her lips, which were parted slightly. Sora smiled sleepily as she opened her eyes to such a kind, gentle awakening in the night.


(I just wanna stay with you
in this moment forever
Forever and ever...)


Sora widened her eyes as Tai backed off and rested his head on his hand, propping himself up on his elbow. He gazed down at Sora lying next to him, her sleepy expression looking at him lovingly as her eyelids closed halfway.


(Don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
'cause I'd miss you baby
and I don't wanna miss a thing)


Sora smiled at him, somehow not believing that this was Tai, her best friend since eight, that she was staring up at as she lay naked beneath the covers, feeling his strong, male body next to hers. Giggling softly, she felt another tingle shoot through her body as a promise of more to come, and she turned over so her back faced Tai, drifting back into a dream-filled sleep, visions of her prince playing behind her closed eyes.


('Cause even when I dream of you
the sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you baby
and I don't wanna miss a thing)


Tai couldn't bring himself to just lay his tired head onto the soft pillow and fall into a content sleep. Sora's peaceful, smiling profile was too beautiful a sight to close his eyes to.


(I don't wanna miss one smile
I don't wanna miss one kiss
I just wanna be with you
right here with you
just like this....)


Tai finally did lower himself, but only to bring his face closer to hers, to smell her essence, to fill his sight with only her sweetness, her soft, bouncy hair brushing against his skin. He wrapped both his arms around her tightly, almost desperately, as he pulled her closer than she could possibly get.


(I just wanna hold you close
feel your heart so close to mine
and just stay here in this moment
for all the rest of time....

yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

yeah!......)


"I don't wanna close my eyes," Tai whispered softly, knowing Sora could hear him in her subconcious. "I don't wanna fall asleep, 'cause I'd miss you." Sora slightly turned her head to hear his soft voice as he spoke to her. To her, it was in a dream, but she knew she was hearing the sweetness in reality as well. "Baby, and I don't wanna miss a thing. Even when I dream of you, the sweetest dream will never do, I'd still miss you." Tai leaned ever closer to breathe into her ear, feeling her body quiver. "And I don't wanna miss a thing...."


(Don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep.....

I don't wanna miss a thing....)
