Part 2: One Night
It was Friday night, before Loralei's party. Matt had just recently gotten his driver's license, so he agreed to pick Sora up at 7:00pm, at her house.
Sora studied herself in the tall, brown mirror, hoping it would help her think of something to wear. She looked at the pale pink shirt and dark red skirt she wore already, and decided it wasn't nice enough to wear to the party that night. She gave a *sigh*, then walked away from the mirror, towards her closet.
She ruffled through some clothes, a few school uniforms, and some other unimportant things before finally settling on a baby blue t-shirt, and a black skirt, both of which notably flattered her figure. She got out of her old clothes and put on the new ones of quickly.
She looked at her watch. It was 10 to 7. Hmm, better get going.
Later, at the party...
"So, have you ever really met Loralei?" she asked, through the noise of the room.
"Oh, I dunno...I think she's in my math class, and maybe history, but she's pretty cool to put on a party for this many people," he replied.
"Yeah. All I know, really, is that I like her name."
Sora and Matt sat on a red couch in the girl's living room. The party was well in motion, and there were people all over. Sora didn't know many of them, but she still felt 'at home'. The two of them had both taken a bit of time away from dancing, just to talk. Which was nice. Both Matt and Sora noted that even though they were good friends, they didn't get to see or talk to each other very often, because of busy schedules and whatnot.
"Yeah, it's pretty. But, it just so happens that I think Sora is a much prettier name," Matt said sweetly, causing the girl sitting next to him to blush. She looked down towards her hands, but then suddenly pulled her head back up.
"Oh...I love this song. It's so beautiful...sad, too." Sora said. Matt listened to the song for a second, then stood up. He held out one hand towards Sora.
"Would you like to dance?" he proposed. Sora nodded, then took his hand. She stood up, and the two of them walked to where everyone else was dancing.
Matt and Sora turned to face each other. Matt wrapped his hands around Sora's waist, while Sora did the same around his neck. They started moving to the song, "Forever Love", by X-Japan.
"Sora, did Tai come tonight?"
"Nah, I think he was grounded or something...bad test mark, maybe."
"Figures. That's Tai for ya."
Sora smiled at that. Matt always knew how to make her smile. Kind of a nice thing to have...
"Sora?" Matt asked, moving slowly with his partner.
"Hm?"
"Um...are you busy at all next week?"
"No...don't think so."
"Oh. You...want to out to dinner with me one night? Or, we could...stay at home, and I could cook you something."
Sora smiled. "Okay, that sounds good." They were silent for a minute, just enjoying the dancing and music.
"Sora?"
"Hm?"
"Can...I kiss you?" Sora blushed at that comment.
"Okay," she agreed. Matt moved his face close to hers. They both closed their eyes, and their lips met. It was a soft, sweet kiss, and Sora melted into Matt's arms.
When the song ended [yep, 8 minutes later...but not that much kissing], Matt pulled himself from Sora.
"That was nice," Sora said sweetly.
"Yes, it was. We must do it again some time," he said. Sora smiled, and Matt chuckled a bit. The both of them moved from where everyone else danced, holding hands. Then, Sora turned to Matt.
"Hey, Matt, I promised a Shihomi and Atari I'd meet up with them here. Mind if I...?" Matt smiled.
"Not a problem. Go and have fun," he said, letting go of her hand.
"Thanks, Matt. I won't be long," Sora said, then kissed him quickly before heading off to find her friends.
Sora wandered around for a while, regretting not having told her friends where exactly at the party to meet with her. She saw tons of people as she looked for her friends, some of them dancing, some of them getting drunk out of their wits. All-in-all, it was quite noisy.
"Hey, you!" she heard someone call out. She payed no attention, and kept walking.
"You want a drink, Sora?" the voice yelled again.
Sora turned around upon hearing her name being called from behind her. She saw that Mayumi, a girl from her school who was quite well known for being less-than-perfect, had a bottle of beer in her grasp. She walked up to Sora.
"No, thank you," Sora said calmly, then turned and walked away.
"Oh, Little Miss Perfect is afraid of doing something wrong and getting in trouble," Mayumi taunted. Sora turned around and looked at the girl who was making fun of her. "Aw, isn't that... sickening." Mayumi finished, laughing with her friends, but at Sora.
Sora felt hurt. Is that how everyone sees me? Little Miss Perfect? Well, Mayumi is a bitch, so...maybe it's just her.
"What's taking so long, Takenouchi? Come on!" Sora took a step forward. Yeah, well that's what everyone thinks...I'll show them. Stupid idiots who think they're better than everyone else. She reached out for the bottle which resided in Mayumi's hand. She took the bottle in her own hand, and brought it to her mouth. She took a drink and brought the bottle down. Ew, this doesn't taste very good... The girls in front of her grinned.
"It's...okay," Sora said. What did I just say that for? I don't like it!
"That's what I thought. Well, I'll be going, now. You just hang on to that. Bye, Little Miss Perfect!" Mayumi said, leaving with a wave. Her friends followed behind her.
Ugh. Bitchface. Ack, did I just give in to peer pressure? I told myself I'd never do that... Well, I guess I better go find my friends now. Sora walked around, not really noticing that she was slowly finished the drink she held in her hands...
* * *
"You know, I like this stuff. I should have this stuff more often."
Sora staggered in her spot. She hadn't been able to find her friends at the party, in the end, they had found her. Shihomi and Atari watched Sora's actions, quite amused.
"No, that's not really a good idea." Atari spoke up.
"Yeah, it's a great idea. I think I just might have another one now..." Sora moved to grab another bottle of beer.
"No, Sora, you won't," Shihomi said, moving to stop Sora. "You've already had...what is it, three?"
"Two and a half," Sora corrected.
"Well, whatever. You are still piss drunk, so we're going to take you back to Matt," Shihomi continued, pulling Sora's arm. Sora followed, although a bit unwillingly, and Shihomi and Atari led her back to Matt. They spotted him sitting on the same couch he and Sora were on before, talking with a friend.
"Okay, Sora," Atari said, talking a bit sternly to her friend. "I want you to get Matt to take you home. Alright?" Sora nodded. "Good," Atari finished. "Seeya later, Sora!"
Shihomi and Atari waved, then turned and walked away. Sora walked toward Matt.
"Hi, Matt!" Sora said, staggering again. Matt and his friend looked at Sora.
"Oh, hey, I'll leave you two alone," Matt's friend said, getting up. "Seeya, Matt!" He nodded his head, then walked away.
"Hi, Sora. What's up?" Matt asked. He held up a cup to her face. "Want some?"
"No, Atari and Shihomi said I have already had to much. I came here 'cause they told me to tell you that they think that you should take me home, 'cause I'm piss drunk," the redhead said, quite quickly, smiling in the process.
"Oh, I see. Well, I can take you home, then. I've just gotta finish this here..." Matt said, pointing to his drink. Sora looked at him.
"What happened to being a designated driver?" she asked, holding her finger up as if to make a point. Matt thought about it, then came up with an answer.
"Who needs 'em?"
"Entirely my thoughts, too. Hey. I thought what you were thinking. That's funny!" Sora said, laughing quite drunkenly. Matt laughed a bit, too.
Matt and Sora both fell silent. They both started at each other for a minute, not moving. Then...
Maybe it's whatever's in this cup, but Sora looks really, really hot right now...I want to kiss her...
I think I'm gonna kiss Matt now.
The both of them moved in for a kiss, and when they did, it was furious. It would have been impossible to try and take them off each other.
Matt grabbed Sora and pushed her against a wall, while continuing to kiss her. He took himself off her mouth, and moved his lips down her neck and back up.
"Matt..." Sora moaned. So this is Matt...oh, I like Matt a lot...
"Hmm," Matt mumbled into her neck.
"Don't you...ohh...think that we should go somewhere a little more...mmm ...private..." Sora suggested, through moans of pleasure.
"Private...right, privacy is good..." Matt said, between kisses. He gave her a deep kiss on her lips, then grabbed her hand. The two of them ran up the stairs as fast as they could, and found a spare bedroom. Matt pushed the door open, and Sora moved to sit on the bed.
Matt practically jumped on her, and continued his barrage of kisses. Sora moved and sat herself on Matt's lap. Both were deep in the moment, thinking of nothing but each other and the passion involved. So, Matt didn't even think twice before he started to pull Sora's shirt off of her body. Sora quickly obliged. Matt tossed the article of clothing aside like a dirty rag.
Sora pulled herself off of Matt's lap and away from his lips, and crawled seductively towards the head on the bed. Matt surveyed the girl on the bed in front of him before following her actions. As he made his way to her, Sora reached one arm up, and pulled Matt down towards her, kissing him deeply in the process...

Sora opened her eyes slowly. But still, light poured in and clouded her vision. She waited another minute, then opened her eyes fully.
She found her head was throbbing. It wasn't like anything she'd ever felt before. Well, like anything bad she'd felt before.
Sora rolled herself over, and found a clock on the bedside table. It read 10:30 in big, bright, flourescent green light, which didn't help with Sora's headache. After checking out the clock, she rolled over to the other side, and noticed something there...a person something...
"Mmm...good morning, Matt." Sora smiled.
Then, she did a double-take.
"MATT?"
"Mmm...what is it...I'm sleeping..." Matt rolled over, and looked at the person in front of him.
"SORA?" Matt shouted. He accidentally rolled out of the bed, and landed with a -thud- on the floor. Sora pulled the covers over herself, and moved to peer over the side of the bed. Matt popped his head up quickly, causing Sora to jump. Matt looked at her for a moment, silently.
"Hi!" He piped up, a fake smile on his face. "So..."
"So..." Sora repeated, smiling nervously.
"Ah, you know, I'd
better...um, go...and stuff." Matt said. Sora nodded, and
moved and put her hands over her eyes. Matt got a confused look
on his face.
"What are you doing?"
Sora uncovered her eyes and looked back at Matt.
"Well, I'm not letting you have the covers! So, go get your clothes..." she explained, the moved her hands back to their previous position. Matt got the hint, then got up and walked around the bed, gathering his clothes. He left the bedroom where they resided, and went to the bathroom.
What the hell did I just do? Sora asked herself. Holy shit, what the hell did I just do?
Sora looked around and saw that some of her clothes were scattered on the floor around the bed. She checked to make sure Matt wasn't coming, then she got out of bed, and quickly grabbed her clothes. She got herself dressed, and waited for Matt. She got a bit impatient he was taking such a long time, so she decided to tidy up the room, which was in a bit of a mess.
She finished with that, then walked out of the room to the bathroom. She stood in front of the door, and knocked on it.
"Um...Matt?"
"Yeah?" she heard from the other side of the door.
"I still need you to drive me home," Sora said. She heard the door -click-, and it opened to reveal Mat. He smiled half-heartedly.
"Okay, then. Let's get going," he said quietly.
Needless to say, the ride home was quiet.
Holy shit, what the hell did I just do?

Man, talk about hard to write! I was about to go crazy writing this, I swear.
A/N: The song that Matt and Sora dance to, "Forever Love", by X-Japan, has no meaning in the story. I just like the song, and I was listening to it as I wrote.
Ja ne,
