Good Match- Finale
'You did WHAT!'
'Nothing that really concerns you' Sora was getting frustrated. Matt was being totally unreasonable. He had heard her clearly the first 5 or 6 times she had told him that she was going to Homecoming with Tai.
They were seated in a little booth at the cafe situated only two streets away from Matt's appartement. The cafe didn't have much selection if food was what you came for, but it was the perfect meeting place for friends. Right now Sora sat with Matt, both with a cup of coffee next to them considering it was only 8 in the morning- and on a Saturday!
'Of course it concerns me! I'm your friend, everything you do concerns me!!!' Matt's voice had been getting increasingly louder since he had arrived. Sora began to wonder how much higher it could go.
'Matt, just because I'm your friend dosn't mean you have to know everything that I do' Sora was enjoying this little battle, it was amusing to see Matt's face turn different colours to match his ever-changing emotions and it took her mind of other...matters.
'I just still can't believe you did that...' Matt's voice began to lose its harshness 'I mean, weren't we already going together?'
Sora looked down at her coffee, watching the way the liquid moved slightly as cars passed the cafe on the road outside. The argument had suddenly become less amusing and more personal. Why was Matt bringing this up now anyway? She looked up again, she was becoming a bit confused.
'Do you mean the "pity date" Matt? Because I thought that was only a last resort in case we couldn't find any decent dates?'
'Well...ya. I mean, isn't that the same kind of thing you're doing anyway with Tai? Why pity him more than me?' Matt looked down at the table quickly. He hadn't meant to make this so personal, but it was certainly taking a turn that way.
Sora's cheeks flushed slightly at what Matt said, her pride slightly wounded. 'Tai didn't ask me for a pity date, Matt. Its the real thing' Matt knew this already, but hearing it made it all the more real and he winced. He couldn't blame Sora for that though, he had set himself up.
A sudden thought hit him, and he looked up to meet Sora's fiery crimson eyes. 'I thought you didn't like Tai in that way, are you just leading him on?' He saw the hurt flash through Sora's eyes and he realized he had made a big mistake, but it was already too late to take it back.
'Is that really how you see me? A girl that leads guys on just for the fun of the chase, then lets cuts them loose?' She could feel the tears that threatened to fall, but she didn't care. Someone she liked, a lot, thought she was a slut? Didn't he know how much his approval meant to her?
'Of course I don't see you that way Sora! I'm sorry...I was just so caught up...Why did you say yes to him in the first place?' Matt decided that the best way to get out of the scape he had gotten himself in was a change of subject, it worked.
'I...I said yes to him because I wanted to go with someone who wasn't totally disgusting or a pervert.' She looked at him solenmly, hoping he would drop the subject before she would have to reveal anything else. It was hard to hide things from him.
Matt had half a mind to ask why she hadn't just gone with him, as his date, but he bit his tongue at the last minute. That would have been much too obvious. So they stayed in silence, each looking out the window of the cafe to watch as people walked by, sipping their coffee quietly and contemplating their thoughts.
It was awhile later, about two more coffee's each kind of later, when Mimi burst through the door of the little seclusion. The tiny bell over the door jingled as she made her way almost directly over to the couple and stopped in front of Sora, eyes very wide and mouth closed.
'I can't believe it!' She squealed moments later, quickly bending down to hug her friend. Sora decided that if she squeezed her any tighter, she just may pop.
'Hi to you too Meems, and what can't you believe?' Sora said this as soon as Mimi relaxed her grip and she felt she could breath once more. She made room for her friend to sit next to her as Mimi began to explain.
'I can't believe...That you said yes to Tai! I always knew you two would make a perfect couple!!' Matt rolled his eyes dramatically, but neither grls caught it. He took a big sip of his third cup of coffee, hoping it would it would make him forget what he had just heard. It only brought on the suspicion that Mimi was a back-stabber and had been helping Tai all along.
'Oh Sora, I can't believe it! You look so good together...I think I'm going to start bawling write here!' Matt would usually have felt that sick feeling he got in his stomach when someone said that Sora and Tai would make a perfect couple, but it had already been there since he had found out Sora was his date anyway and it really couldn't get any worse.
Matt decided to try and change the topic of conversation again. It had worked out well before, after all. 'Hey Mimi, you haven't even said "hi" to me? How can you even pretend not to notice the Great Matt Ishida?' Mimi turned to him then and gave him a sad smile. Matt was wrong, the sick feeling could get worse.
Sora didn't seem to notice the quick change in Mimi's composure. 'Hey, do you guys wanna head over to the mall. I still need to pick out a dress for tonight. Actually, I had just been on my way there when I ran into Matt. What do ya say guys?'
Matt jumped at the chance to spend the day with Sora and Mimi came because she didn't thoroughly trust Sora's fashion sense yet. So the entire day was spent with Sora picking something out, Matt agreeing- simply to please her, and Mimi looking at the thing disgustedly before picking what was probably the most opposite thing in the store up and telling Sora she had to try it on.
There was one time during the day though, between 2 and 2:30, when Sora and Mimi were trying things on in a store brand name women's clothing store. Matt had decided to sit that place out to spare his reputation and take a rest. He had encountered Tai during that little break.
Tai had walked straight over to the blonde teenager, Matt couldn't have helped to think that he looked a little depressed.
They had both said hi and then been engulfed by silence as they stood there rather awkwardly.(A/N: There's a lot of silence in this story, no?) Then, out of nowhere, Tai had suddenely appologized for the entire week. Adding at the end, to Matt's complete surprise, that he wouldn't have asked Sora to Homecoming in the first place if he had known how she and Matt had felt about one another.
To this, Matt had just stared in shock and asked what he had meant, but Tai said no more and Matt hadn't persisted because he knew it had been hard for his now non-ex-friend. Tai had left shortly after that, before both girls came back, and Matt hadn't told them about their converstaion- just that he had seen him around.
The rest of the trip had been fairly, with the exeption that Mimi had once agreed with what Sora had chosen, which had surprised and shocked all of them. They left at 4 o'clock, Matt to go home and begin gelling up his hair and Sora and Mimi leaving for Sora's home to begin getting ready as well.
'So you're going solo?' Mimi had asked before they had left Matt to walk home alone. Matt had nodded and turned to head up his street. Sora felt a sudden jolt of longing as she stared at his retreating back before turning herself and following Mimi back to her appartement.
~~~~~~~*****~~~~~~~
'Sora, you are going to blow their socks of! That is if anyone's wearing any...' Sora slapped Mimi's arm playfully as she admired her reflection in the mirror. She was wearing a floor-length dress, black, with patterns of Sakura flowers done in sparkling silver sequins. The dress hugged her body tightly and showed off all the right curves, still leaving some to the imagination. She smiled at herself and turned towards Mimi.
'Oh Meems! You look...Wow!' Mimi flashed Sora a brilliantly white smile and looked down at her own dress. It was sparkly pink (of course) and stopped a little ways above her knees. Its straps were wide, yet thin, and being a size 2, hugged her body tightly as well. 'Do you think Joe will like it?' Sora nodded vigorously in response.
It was now a quarter to seven, the dance started in 15 minutes. 'We better get going soon' Mimi called to her friend from the doorway. 'I told Joe I'd meet him there at seven!'
'Why!?' Asked Sora, dashing to the door and throwing on her shoes while Mimi buckled the straps to her carefully. 'You know very well you never get to dances on time, poor Joe'll be waiting forever!'
'Don't be silly' cooed Mimi, finally finishing with her shoes and slipping into her coat 'Joe knows I'm usually "fashionably late", he won't get there till quarter after, at the earliest'
Sora put a lopsided grin on her face. 'But Meems, don't you want to get the most out of you evening? You're loosing valuable time here.' Mimi said nothing to this but it was obvious that she was moving faster than before, Sora's grin grew. They were out the door 5 minutes later.
~*~*~*~*~ Homecoming!!! ~*~*~*~*~
Joe arrived at the dance at a quarter past seven. He began making his way straight towards the bench, to wait for Mimi- probably for another 15 minutes. When he got there however the second biggest surprise in his life made his eyes practically pop out. There was a girl who looked exactly like Mimi sitting on the bench!
The girl suddenly turned to face him and burst out in excited giggles. 'Oh Joe, you look so handsome! Do you like my dress? What took you so long to get here anyway? You're wasting our valuable time!'
Joe smirked at this. 'What did Sora tell you to get you here this early?' Mimi just ignored him and kept walking towards the school entrance, dragging him along behind her. They got their fast enough, and paid to get in. The first things they did when inside however, was blink.
The gym was covered in streamers and there were probably about 50 different coloured lights, each flashing at different times. It reminded them both of a really expensive nightclub. There was a DJ in the far corner on the other side of the gym, with a crowd surrounding him requesting songs. The only other crowd in the entire area was the one surrounding Matt. He had obviously gone stag as many girls were practically on their hands and knees begging for a dance.
The couple quickly began taking in all the people. There were about 300 or so, not really that many for a dance this size, but then again it was still early. Mimi was the first to spot Tai and Sora dancing to a fast song on the dance floor. She grabbed Joe's hand once more. They didn't bother looking for their other friends seeing as they knew they weren't coming anyway.
'Hey Mimi! Joe, when did you get here?' Sora looked at her friend curiously as she and Tai stopped dancing and the four began walking to Matt, who obviously needed their help.
'I didn't seem to get here soon enough' replied Joe, eyeing Mimi. she just smiled sheepishly in return. They parted the girls around Matt to reach him. That took about 10 minutes in itself. After they reached the the center and Matt, they could tell he didn't really need their help after all. He was used to all this attention and this was his best playing field.
'Hey guys and gals!' shouted Matt as they approached. He noticed Sora in the crowd and quickly stood up, dusting himself off. As he did this, the girls that had been around him backed away slightly and began to get excited. "He's going to ask one of us to dance!" They squealed from all around Matt.
Joe and Mimi looked at each other and would have burst out laughing had Matt not glared in their direction before following them back outside the crowd. Sora laughed instead, Matt flushed- embarrassed.
The crowd dispersed soon after. The girls had obviously decided that the best way for Matt to notice them would be to pretend to ingnore him. Needless to say, it didn't work- but they didn't bother him the rest of the dance, an ultimate plus.
They reached the punch bowl 15 minutes later. It was getting more crowded all the time and they had to take a lot of detours. 'So Joe, do you want to dance?' Mimi motioned with her hand towards the dance floor as Joe nodded and they walked off hand in hand. Sora, Tai and Matt were left to fend for themselves.
They each took a cup and poured some punch. Then they all looked at each other. They didn't have to say anything, each knew what the other was thinking. Was the punch spiked? Tai took the first sip, and shook his head. 'They must not have had time yet, the dance just started after all' Matt and Sora nodded and began to drink themselves.
'So you guys finally decided to make up? It was probably only a stupid argument anyway' She turned to watch Mimi and Joe a little ways off as Matt and Tai both looked to the ground, seemingly interested in it.
'Okay everyone!' The DJ's voice came on over the microphone. 'This is one of my personal favorites. It's a slow song so pick your hunnies and take 'em out their!' Tai turned to Matt, he nodded, and Matt felt he could begin jumping for joy.
'Tai, you deserve the crest of Friendship' whispered Matt to his friend, Sora was still looking at Joe and Mimi, now beginning to slow dance.
'Trust me Matt, it takes more courage to do this' Was Tai's answer. Matt nodded soberly and turned towards Sora, 'Would you care to dance?' She looked at Tai, who was already walking towards one of her friends on the tennis team. She took Matt's hand and they headed towards th dance floor.
Sora ignored the jealous stares she was recieving and concentrated solely on Matt, taking him in. he was wearing a navy blue coloured shirt with the top two buttons left undone. His pants were black and this ensemble made his hair seem more bleached than usual. Not that that was a bad thing.
'Sora...you know you look beautiful tonight' His voice snapped her out of staring and back to reality, a very nice reality in which she was being held close to Matt, his arms wrapped possesively around her waist and herhead on his shoulder.
'Thanks Matt, ' She replied 'You don't look half bad yourself' She smirked as she felt his chest heave in soft laughter. 'Oh, but I can't look as good as you...' He whispered sarcastically.
Sora moved her head to stare into his deep blue eyes. 'Of course not silly, how could you possibly even think that' As she said this Matt tightened his grip around her waist, if that were possible, and she began fingering the hair on the back of his neck. 'You don't know how right you are' whispered Matt, causing her to blush and making his self-confidence grow.
'Sora...you know how I blew up at you this morning?' He asked. She nodded apprehensively, waiting for him to go on.
'Well, there was a reason for that...You see, I just found out...or realised that I...Well, there's no easy way to say this so don't get mad at me, but I think that I may have...fallen in love with you. I hope you don't mind.' He looked down as his cheeks burned crimson. That was not at all how he had planned to tell her!
It took Sora a few minutes to understand what he had just said. After she had, she took one hand from Matt's neck and lifted his chin up to face her. 'Do you really mean that? Are you just joking?' In answer, he leaned down and kissed her. And not just a tiny peck, it was sweet kiss, one that lingered awhile after and left your head spinning.
She looked up into Matt's eyes as the kiss ended, tears swelling up in her own, and kissed him once more. And they put into the kiss what they didn't say aloud- How much they felt for each other, how sorry they were for not realizing it sooner, and how much they meant to one another.
They were completely oblivious of the world around them, but had they been paying attention, they would have realized that th entire school had stopped to watch. Some were exclaiming how cute they looked, other's, were crying uncontrolably and asking why it couldn't have been them in Matt's arms.
But one voice rose out above the rest, 'Finally! I knew I could do it! What a good match! Now who's next...?'
