An Unexpected Kiss
Sora returned to the front of the yard carrying a bucket full of suds and sponges. They set up the bucket and the hose next to the car and began washing. They each took a sided and met at the hood. Sora pushed the sponge a bit to hard and watched as some suds hit Matt. She laughed at his surprisement from the cold water. "I'm sorry." She told him smiling.
Matt smirked "It's okay." Matt, accidentally on purpose, pushed his sponge too hard and hit Sora with some soapsuds. Sora wasted no time in retaliating. She threw her whole entire sponge at him and hit him square in the face. She ran as he threw his own sponge after her. The sponge missed her but some of the suds got her on the back. Sora picked up the sponge and head back towards Matt. Matt bent down behind the car and picked up the hose.
"Hey Sora.." He yelled, "You look a little soapy, how bout I help you rinse it off!" He jumped out from behind the car and sprayed the hose on her. Sora screamed and held the sponge up in front of her face in defense. When it was filled with water, she ran at him, smashed the wet sponge in his face. She grabbed the hose and turned it on him, before he even knew what was happening.
"Okay, okay!!! I give up! You win!" He laughed. "Stop spraying me!!!" Sora did smiling triumphantly.
"I did, didn't I?" She turned the hose on and pointed it towards the car. Matt smiled, defeated. He picked up the bucket and the two sponges and they both began to wash the house. Five more water fight's later (And they are still tied), they finished the house. It was 6:30 so Matt was invited to stay for dinner. Sora gave him some clothes that they still had left from her dad and they both changed. Matt, Sora and her mother, all sat on the newly cleaned porch watching the sunset while they ate. When the sun had finally sunken below the horizon line Sora's mom got up.
"How bout you to go for about you to go for a walk while I clean up these dishes. It's such a beautiful night out and you deserve a break." She told Sora.
"Okay mom."
As Matt and Sora walked the talked about their times back in the digital world, and how much they missed their partners. Sora told him how she missed everyone else as well, Matt nodded in agreement, but then he stopped and turned to her.
"Sora, I don't ever want you to miss me okay? If anything is ever bothering you I want you to tell me. Maybe we don't have to lose the closeness." Sora smiled up at him.
"Will you do the same with me?"
Matt thought for a minute, he didn't really talk much about things when he was worried. The only one he had been able to do that with was Gabumon. But then again, Sora was different then anybody else. And he knew if he wanted Sora to be open with him, he'd have to be open with her. Friendship like that has to go two ways. "Yes" he whispered his response. Sora gave him a hug; she understood why it was so hard for him to say that to her, and that he took so long because he didn't want to lie to her. Matt hugged her back, and as they continued walking, Matt kept his arm around her. They watched the stars as they walked in a comfortable silence back to the house and sat on the steps. Matt looked as his watch and realized he had to get going.
"Well Sora I had fun today."
"Matt… We cleaned my house." She looked at him with an eyebrow raised as he watched the stars.
"I know" He turned to her. And took her hand, lifting it up in between them. "And it was fun because we did it." Sora smiled as he planted a kiss on her hand. Then Matt dropped her hand and switched his gaze to his shoes.
"Sora do you think we could go raspberry picking tomorrow, just you and me. And then maybe have dinner, a picnic even?" Matt paused for only a second before he rambled on. "I understand if you don't want to date or anything-" His rants were cut short as he felt a kiss being placed on his cheek. He looked up in surprise as Sora pulled away, blushing.
"I'd love to go raspberry picking with you Yamato Ishida. And a picnic sounds wonderful. She smiled at him her eye's sparkling. Matt met her gaze.
"Really?"
"Really. I'll even bring the food."
"I'll be ready." She said walking to her door and opening it. She turned back to face him. "See you tomorrow Matt."
"See you, Sora." He kept his gaze on her until she closed the door. Then he jumped up and pumped his fist in the air mouthing 'yes'. Out of the corner of his eyes he saw the time on his watch. I'm late! He ran off the porch and down the street. Occasionally shouting, once he was out of earshot, 'She said yes!'; which was replaced now and then with 'she kissed me!'.
Sora waited until she couldn't hear Matt's footsteps anymore before she squealed happily. Matt asked me out! Another thought came to mind. The picnic! Sora ran through the house to find her mother, yelling "Mom!!! I have an emergency!!!" Her mom raced into the room Sora was in.
"What is it?!?!" She asked, worried.
"What would you make to take on a picnic with the guy you like?" Sora's mom laughed in relief.
"So he asked you huh?"
"Yes, now will you help me?" Sora asked not in the mood for her mother's teasing.
"Of course."
"Thanks mom." Sora smiled up at her mother. They both went off to the kitchen to find some good recipes.
