It's a totally natural thing to talk about... and Sora and Tai have breached it. Tai is ready... but why does Sora think not?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tai and Sora kissed as they got in front of Tai's house. "Hey, see ya later pumpkin," said Tai, spinning from the kiss. "Yeah.... see ya later. Sorry I gotta jet like this, but you know how mom is. See ya later" With that, Sora took off in the other direction. Tai sighed heavily, and walked into his house, to be met by his mom.
"Hi Tai! Having another nice evening with Sora?" She was bent over the stove, cooking up something that was sure to be awful. "Uh, yeah mom. How are ya?" She tapped the wooden spoon on the side of the pot, and took off her oven mitts. "Well... a little tired as of late. They have me working more and more..." Tai rolled his eyes. "So maybe more than 5 hours a day?" thought Tai. She walked over and took Tai's jacket, before he could throw it on the floor. "So, how are things between you 2?" Tai smiled, and flopped onto the couch. "Well.... great! I mean... I've never been so happy in my life. She is my life right now......." Tai trailed off... seeing him mom make that AWWWWW face. Tai rolled his eyes. "Why am I talking to you about this? Go bug Kari about TK" She laughed, and sat next to Tai. "I already did that earlier. She seemed to be more open than you are..... are you embarrassed?" Tai smirked. "Well... frankly, yes I am. I don't want to talk about my love life to my mother. It's un-natural.... and really, unnecessary" Tai got up, and made towards his room. "Well, since you won't talk to me about your "Love Life", how about you try some of this new stuff I made?" Tai cringed at the thought. "I don't know which is worse!" thought Tai. Tai whirled around. "Alright mom... let's try this new recipe" She jumped up, and was very excited. "Oh my.... alright now. Careful, it's hot!" Tai once more rolled his eyes, and put the concoction in his mouth. He jewed for a moment, and then his eyes widened. His face changed a nice shade of green, and he immediately swallowed it down. He hung his tounge out in disgust. "Nice, huh?" Tai quickly whirled back around, so his mom wouldn't see his face. "Uhh... sure mom. Tasted Great! See ya!" He took off to the bathroom, to get that taste out of his mouth.
After coming out of the bathroom, he opened his door. There, lying on his bed, was Kari. "Awww Tai. Is there a bad taste in your mouth now? Mom gave me the same ultimatum... I took the easy way out," she laughed. Tai plunked onto his bed. "I don't know which was the easy way out" Kari laughed again. "So, since you guys left early, I thought I would catch you up. Izzy had talked some more with Willis from America. He says hi, and that everything appears to be going good there.... so no digital worries" Tai sighed in relief. The last thing he needed was another problem in the digital world. Kari continued, like the big-mouth she is. "Well... Ken seems to have finally opened up to us... and is laughing and crying with the rest of us. That's a good thing for us..... the 2nd Digi-Destined. And..... after you left.... TK gave me this!" She pulled the locket out from underneath her shirt. "Isn't it sweet? It has a picture of me and TK in it... and it plays a cute melody when you open it" Tai took it in his hand, and got a closer look at it. "Wow... by the looks of it... 24K gold..... shoulda been near about $150. That's pretty expensive" Kari sighed, and smiled. "He said that no dollar amount could be put on us. We are priceless" Kari melted when she said this..... she obviously liked that saying. Tai just smirked. "Well, you guys do have something special.... but Sora and I have it Goin ON!" Tai stood up and flexed. "WE ARE THE COUPLE! Like Adam and Eve.... and... uhh.... nevermind, just ADAM AND EVE!" Kari laughed, and gave him a small shot to the kidneys. Tai grimaced for a second, and sat back down. Kari, as always, was intrigued. "Since you won't talk to mom... how are you and Sora?" Tai looked at her with a cocked eye-brow. "And, little princess. What makes you think I want to have this conversation with you instead of mom?" Kari smirked back. "Because you know that me and TK have more relationship experience then all the other digi-destined... and you wanna consult someone about it" Tai looked at is palms... because she hit the nail on the head. So, Tai started.
"Well... after we left, we went to her house to... uhh... watch movies" Kari rolled her eyes. "Movies is it... usually I call it making out, but please continue" Tai smiled. "Ok... so we made out. Anyway, after her mom came home... we started walking back here. And... well...." he trailed off. Kari rolled her eyes. "Just spit it out already... I am 14. I can take anything you can dish at me" With that, Tai continued. "Well... I brought up the topic of sex!" Kari started to laugh. "That's it? You stopped yourself because of that? Tai, c'mon.... me and TK have talked about it too!" Tai was taken back by this. "You guys are 14... you don't need to be thinking about sex. That's wrong!" Kari once again had to roll her eyes. "Tai.... don't get all big-brothery. I am a consultant... not a little sister" Tai could have yelled, but instead.. calmed down. "Alright, but I'm gonna have to give you the birds-bee's topic later. Anyway... I was the one who brought it up. I mean, I even bought condoms and stuff. When I did bring it up.... Sora seemed alright with it. I mean.. it's not like she recoiled in fear. But, she said she didn't think WE were ready. I mean... I think our relationship is good enough to take it.... but she doesn't? I didn't pressure her at all.... but I just want to know what she is thinking" With that, Tai put his head down on his bed. Kari got up, and started to make her way to the door. "Tai..... you did a good job about bringing it up. You acted like a true gentleman.. and right now, I'll tell ya, she loves you for it. What she means with "we"... is only speculation on my part. I think what she might mean is that the relationship is strong.... but if you were to do it now... it might bring too much pressure in the relationship... and something, or someone, would snap. Neither of you want that to happen.... so she is slowing it down. Don't worry.... wait it out." Kari gave a friendly wave, and silently let herself out. With new thoughts on his mind.... Tai fell asleep.
