Yamato's Bit of Heaven - Part 2
Sora woke up an hour later, then remembered
where she was. 'Is this a dream?' she
thought to herself. It seemed pretty real.
But was she really with Matt? Being with Tai
had never made her feel this way. Now she
knew what Mimi ment, that you can really
tell if you love somebody. Sora felt blind
to think she'd always thought she'd loved Tai. He
was more like a good friend... a kid friend.
This was different. She understood now. But
what if Matt didn't feel the same way? She
wondered if he did... But at the moment it
didn't matter. Regardless of what he thought
of her, he was still holding her at this very
moment, and that was all that mattered for
now. 'I'll talk to him in the morning,' she
thought, and closed her eyes again. She hoped
this was what Mimi said was love, because
she was loving it.
At about 11, Sora woke up again. She opened
her eyes to see Matt staring back at her.
"Hey there... Sorry if I woke you up..." he
said. Sora smiled. "No," she replied. Her head
was spinning. "How, may I ask, did you get
up here last night anyway?" Matt asked.
Sora's cheeks turned a bright pinkish color
and turned her head away from Matt, who still
had his arms around her waist. "Hey, don't
sweat it." Sora turned back to face Matt
again. "Is... is this right?" she asked. "What
do you mean?" "I mean... like... friends don't
do this, do they?" "No, I suppose they don't...
But Sora, I've gotta talk to you..." Matt sat
up. Sora raised her eyebrow, and inched her
way into a sitting positon too. "Yes?" "Wh...
what do you think of me?" "Well... you don't
show your emotions very much, but when
you do you're very sweet and caring... a bit
violent sometimes, but other than that, you're
wonderful and I don't know who'd be a better
friend. Why?"
Matt closed his eyes tightly, trying not to
let any of his tears fall. "Matt? Matt, what's
wrong?" Matt took a deep breath. "Sora?" he
asked. "Yes?" "You know I'd n-never hurt
you, r-right?" Sora gasped. "Matt! Of course!
I'd never think for a second you'd ever
even THINK of hurting me... What makes you
think I'd think of you like that?" "You...
you said I was a bit violent..." Sora bit
her lip. She didn't know what to say... she only
knew what she SHOULDN'T have said. "I didn't
mean it like that, Matt... I... I'm so
sorry..."
Matt's teeth were clenched, but he wasn't angry.
His face was sad looking, and he was
almost crying. Matt, the one who didn't show
emotions, was almost crying. He pulled Sora
to him and hugged her tight, crying onto her
shoulder. "I'm sorry... I'm the sorry one... I
know I was a jerk in the past, but I swear
I'll never ever hurt you ever... I love you too
much..." Sora rubbed his back, comforting
him like one would do for a little kid. "I love
you too, Matt, more than you'd ever think...
I'd never think you'd hurt me... and you
weren't a jerk. I've never known you for being
a jerk, no matter what I've ever said."
Matt gasped and looked up. "Really?" he asked.
"Of course, Matt! You'd mever hurt me,
and I know it. I know that you're not lying...
You sound very sincere when you say you
love me, and I love you too. Just... can I
ask you one thing?" Sora asked. Matt nodded.
"How long have you liked me?" she asked. Matt
thought a moment. "I don't know... I first
relized it when Datamon ran away with you
and Biyomon. I was so mad at Tai... I mean,
I would have been mad if it was anybody, but
later that night, after everyone was asleep,
I cried. Izzy caught me, and so did Mimi,
but Tai never did. I suppose Izzy and Mimi both
knew and decided to leave me alone. I don't
know what I would have done if Izzy hadn't
figured out where you were. But even though
I first relized it then, I'm sure it was real
before then... That's how long I liked you.
But last night, I figured out I didn't just like you.
I loved you... they're different, you know.
How about you? When did you figure it out?"
Sora shrugged.
"I've always liked you, even though at first
Tai always said you thought you were Mr.
Cool. You had something about you that the
others didn't have. One night, it was our first
in the Digital World, Tai came up to me and
started talking to me about you and how he
thought you thought TK was only a bother.
I told him I agreed, but deep down I was
pretty mad. Luckily Joe came over then and
keeped me from saying anything else. I
relized I love you like ten minutes ago...
I know that sounds bad but it's true. I've never
felt like this, Matt. And isn't that sad?
I'm 21 and I've never felt real love. I was with Tai
for six years, and I never felt real love.
I'm lucky Tai broke up with me last night, or I
might have had to wait another 21 years."
Matt chuckled and looked into Sora's eyes.
That's when he realized what Sora was. She
was his angel, in her own special way. Part
of heaven on the ground, just for him, now.
He kissed her lightly on the lips and held her
close. Now he couldn't wait for his future
to start.
A/N: Yes, I do write better than this now. Don't I? R/R anyway... I
kinda liked this fic, aside from being mean to poor Taichi.
