Tai walked into the darkened house. It was hard to see, and he bumped into a door. "OWW!" was the response he gave to this. "Hold on a sec. Tai... I'll light these candles." She gingerly slide across the carpet, as to not step on anything. Tai followed in step, and made sure to follow her tracks. "Alright, almost there. Ahhh... there it is!" Tai looked up. A lovely 5 leafed candle set was on top of the China Hutch. "Hey Tai. Give me a hand with this!" Tai looked to Sora, seeing she needed to be lift up. Tai's knees started to give a bit, and all he did was give a rhapsy "Sure" for a response. Slowly, he put his hands just above her nicely curved hips, and held on. He felt as if the world spun round. My god.... I just wish I could do this everyday, was his thought. As he thought more and more about her nice.... curves..... Sora broke in. "OK, lift me up now." Tai was more than ready. He gently started to rise her into the air, and was dumbfounded. Her shirt had raised a bit, showing off her sexy stomach. Not exactly a 6 pack, but nice, strong abs she possessed. The curves on the sides of her abs made a line up into the concealed part of her chest, which could only leave Tai to his imagination. He tried hard not to think about it, because he almost dropped her when he did. "Alright Tai, I got it. Now, lower me back down" Tai was disappointed as the stomach disappeared under her shirt once again, and slowly, he lowered her to the ground. "It's beautiful, isn't it?" said Sora. Sora's eyes sparkled against the lustre of the old candle-centerpiece. "Yes," said Tai as he looked into her eyes. "Very beautiful indeed"
Sora lit the 5 candles, and started over towards the fridge. "Well," she started, "if the power is out, we might as well find something to pass the time. And, the fridge wouldn't be working, so we should try and eat anything that will go bad in a day" That was Sora.... always thinking. Always thinking of how to take advantage of a lowly situation, and try and find light in all the dark. Tai loved this about her. He loved the fact that nobody could be down around her. She lightened everyones lives.... especially his. She seemed to be his only light right now. "Hmmm," she said looking down into the fridge. "It seems that we are almost on empty in here... mom needs to go shopping soon...." Tai bent over and took a look with her. He was inches from her face... her beautiful, vibrant face. He couldn't even begin to fathom what it would be like to kiss her. He thought that it would be like kissing an angel, but as he stared at her lovely face..... the lovely line her jaw made, the way her bottom lip was just a little poofy, and the way her nose was perfectly centered in her face, her perfect eyes... he realized that no angel could look that good.... only Sora could.
They started to have a drink from the Coke that was in the fridge, when she seemed to dance over to the couch, and flop onto it. She sat there cross-legged, and drank her Coke. Tai followed and fell onto the opposite side of the couch. She gave a sigh of satisfaction. "Tai, what do you think this night was like?" Tai thought what to say. Normally, he would have acted on impulse, but he had to think. If he doesn't, he may say the one thing to drive her away. Thinking this, he almost psyched himself right into a coma! "Tai? Tai? Hello, Earth to Tai?" Tai shook his head clean, and responded. "Well..... if I had to say a day.... I'd say today it is like our first day in the digiworld" Sora seemed a little mystified by this. "How-so Tai?" Tai collected his thoughts, and said this. "Well.... it's just that well, our first day in the digiworld, everything kinda flowed into itself." Sora yawned, and seemed to nod in agreement. "I mean, isn't it just a bit odd that I take you to the concert, take you home, only to find I have to stay here for awhile, in a power outage none-the-less?" Sora nodded, and shivered a moment. "What's up Sora?" said Tai. "I don't know, I'm a little cold I guess." Tai got up. "Well, want me to get you a blanket or what?" Sora shook her head. "No, that's ok. Just sit back down" Tai was a little taken back by the request, but was fairly eager to complete it. As long as he was close to Sora, it did not matter if it was -1000000. He would be fine, as long as Sora was with him. He slid back into the divot his body made on the couch, and Sora quickly came and got close to him. Sora sighed again. "See? Now we both get warmed up" Tai was so nervous, he turned into a board. He tensed up, and almost refused to move. Sora was relaxed as could be, and slowly, Tai started to get the same way. He slowly put an arm around her, just below her shoulder, along the side of her chest. She grabbed his arm, and held onto it. Tai's heart jumped 5 miles. This is what my dreams are made of. This is the way we were destined to be together. I have to feel this..... I just have to. If my life isn't like this, it isn't worth living.With that thought, Tai had made his decision. He had to tell her, and had to tell her tonight. With a small sigh, and a smile on Tai's face, the two partners of destiny fell asleep in each other's arms.
