AUTHOR NOTES: hello back again when the next installment of my Taito story, thanks to everyone who's reviewed so far, kinda a good response for my first ever Digimon story. Now I just wanna make one thing clear. I don't mind Sora as a character, I don't mind any of the characters, I don't even mind if people put Mimi with Tai, Sora with Matt, Tai with Sora or Matt with Mimi, it doesn't bother me, I just prefer Taito so please can no one email me bitching because I haven't bashed Sora cause dudes life's to short to care, anyway please enjoy the chapter. Chapter 5 is already in progress in my brain
"In here Tai" Sora said as she grabbed his slim wrist and pulled him into a nearby empty classroom away from the noise and hustle and bustle. He looked around him and sighed inwards, sometimes he really wished that Sora would back off and leave him to make his own choices however strange they may seem to her, But at the same time he knew it would go against her nature to do that and that she would always interfere out of worry for others.
"What is it?" he asked even though he knew exactly what it was about, she ignored his question for a second as she closed the door which had remained opened all this time then she turned and glared at him for a full minute before she finally spoke.
"What are you doing Tai?" she questioned, Tai blinked for a second he had expected her to go straight into a lecture not ask him a question
"Well we're in a room and I'm listening to you talk" she shook her head
"Don't act stupid Tai you know exactly what I'm talking about I can see it in your eyes. I'm talking about what just happened in science, about what you did to Matt" he blinked at he question and stared at her, an unusually moody expression on his face, what could he say to her? He didn't know himself anymore, things were just a big mess and there was nothing he could do about it anymore
"What did I do to Matt? He replied, she stood back and watched his expression closely
"Let me refresh your memory, you went out of your way to hurt him and push him away all lesson and I want to know why you would do something like this to him, there must be a reason so tell me Tai, we've always told stuff about everything before, with Mimi I told you didn't I?" he sighed he hated when she used the guilt trip on him and used her puppy dog eyes, he could never resist anyone when they did that look and all his friends knew it, he stared at her now then out of the window staring at the sky how could he tell her "Why Tai what has he done to you?" Tai sighed and spoke in a small voice
"He hasn't done anything I'm the one who has done something, I'm in love with him Sora" her warm brown eyes widened and she looked surprised
"What did you say Tai?" she said calmly looking at him expectantly, she must of misheard, she knew that Tai cared for Matt but for him to love him, she couldn't believe it.
"I said I love him Sora. I love Yamato Ishida, everything about him I love and that's why I did it Sora, admit it, Matt has everything going for him at the moment and considering his former life there's no one who deserves it more than him, everything of his I can spoil if he finds out how I feel about him, people would ridicule him and I don't think Matt could deal well with that though he said that he could if he was forced to, I couldn't deal with him being hurt in anyway, especially not if I knew that I was responsible for it" he stopped shocked that he had allowed all of that to come out though he felt much better because of it. Sora stared back at him pity and sympathy in her soft gaze. He could see it in her eyes that she was trying to figure out the best way to tackle him about this.
"Tai" she said finally "I'm sorry I didn't know I mean I knew you cared about him, that much was clear but I thought you were like everyone else and just had a crush on him so I'm sorry I didn't realize it was…" she hesitated for a second
"Love" he supplemented
"Right Love but Tai it isn't your decision to make that right belongs solely to Matt no one else. Right now of I know him he's probably as confused as hell about why his best friend, the one he cares about the most bar his family treated him the way you just did. I saw his face when you called him Yamato, though you didn't. It hurt him because he cares deeply for you as a friend I think I even saw him flinch slightly"
"But Sora…"
"No buts Tai, Matt's life probably isn't as good as we think, he still needs us all to keep him grounded and to keep his priorities straight, after all we've known him long before we entered high school and are his true friends, Matt knows this which is why he's so close to us all but you Tai, you are his best friend he could survive without the rest of us if he had to but he couldn't survive without you, that's what best friends are Tai, they are always there and they rely on each other and frankly can't get by properly without each other"
"But if he finds out Sora"
"Then Matt finds out Tai, you can't destroy the friendship you have because of a possibility of what might happen, remember Tai none of us know how much Matt cares for you, only he does, he might love you back, he might not, but he was given the crest of friendship for a reason because he won't turn his back on you what ever happens and he certainty what distance himself like you tried to so. You want Matt Tai that's extremely clear just like I wanted Mimi, you love him that is all you need to focus on your love for Matt the rest doesn't matter" Tai stared at the ground as if it held all the answers and sat limply on a chair his mind going over everything his friend just said to him, could she be right? Was that the right approach? All this time he had been worried about what might happen, all of the negative aspects of it like the ridicule but he had never given any thought to the good stuff that might happen as well, the best one being the fact that Matt would be his and no one else's, he could kiss him or hug him anytime he wanted and not worry about anyone opinion. Tai's eyes brightened for the first time in days and a glint of determination appeared, the thought of Matt finally being his was far to tempted for him to let go just because of what people thought, he never cared before so why bother now and Matt could make his own mind up on what he wanted to do. Sora was right though of he wanted what he did then he had to stop being scared and go for it. He looked up and smiled at her
"Thank you Sora, you're always there when I need you" she smiled back
"That's what friends do Tai they're there for each other no matter what. Decided what to do yet?" she asked
"Yep" he said nodding his head and standing up at the same time
"So tell me Tai what are you going to do?"
"Well firstly I'm gonna find Matt and apologies for being such a prick to him" he walked to the door and pulled it open, looking back at her with a cheeky grin "Then I'm going to make our dear gorgeous Yamato Ishida all mine" then he walked out closing the door behind him leaving Sora to giggle to herself before following speaking quietly to herself as she did
"Matt doesn't stand a chance"
There you go I hope you enjoyed it. No flames please but anything else is fine, now I can progress since Tai's heads sorted out, he needed someone to talk to him properly now things will get interesting. I promise ;0D
