Melting Ice

Ok, I've been getting some rather negative comments about the Joumi in the previous chapter. When I was writing this fic, I intended for it to be mainly a Sorato, of course, and it will be, but I also wanted to put in other various couples, and I thought some Joumi would be nice. It's my favorite couple as to where Jou is concerned. He's not really socially outgoing, so I thought it would be nice to pair him up with a 'cheerleader' miss popular Mimi. Heh, if I'm quite alone on this point of view, I guess I can understand. Everyone's entitled to their own opinion, I guess. Just wanted to respond to some of the reviews so yall know I read them! ^_^ As for everyone who's been waiting for the Sorato, this chapter is dedicated to all Sorato fans (because it's the Sorato chapter, duh!) Enjoy, and review!!!

Chapter 4
Sora Takenouchi pushed her red-orange hair out of her eyes, but it immediately blew right back into her face with the breeze. She watched the snowflakes floating down to earth. It has been snowing non-stop ever since school let out this afternoon. Her fingers felt the chill through the open finger holes in her leather gloves, and she blew on them to warm them up. Sora glanced at the park gate, and, as if right on cue, Matt Ishida appeared.
As soon as Matt saw her, he caught his breath. The white snow all around her, falling in her hair and on her face, contrasted with her bright red jacket, and purple-striped scarf. She looked so spectacular, even in her baby-blue sneakers and dark blue jeans. Sora started walking towards him, smiling, her hair blowing all around her face in the breeze.
"Hey Yama-kun," she said brightly.
"Hey, been waiting long?"
"Not at all. So... you still haven't told me what this is about."
Matt looked lovingly at her face.
"It's about you, silly," he said, grinning a little and clasping her hand in his. "Come on, got something to show you."
He started pulling her urgently, and she giggled.
Sora's known Matt forever; they've grown up together, and shared the Digimon Adventure together. She came to all his concerts, and he came to all of Sora's tennis games.
This is great, Matt thought as he dragged Sora across the park.
He glanced back at her, and still couldn't get over how beautiful and graceful she looked, jogging in the fresh snow after him.
"Yama, not so fast!" she whined, but she was laughing. He laughed too, and started running at a slightly faster pace.
"Here it is," Matt suddenly stopped, and Sora bumped into him from behind, still laughing.
"What is it, Yama-kun?" Sora asked him, putting her arm over his shoulder.
"We're here," Matt didn't dare move; the comforting weight of Sora's arm around his neck felt too good to let it go.
"There's nothing here," Sora said, looking around.
Reluctantly, Matt stepped away from Sora and kneeled next to a tall pine. Sora followed him, and looked over his shoulder as he proceeded to sweep away the snow at the bottom.
"Look," Matt groped around for Sora's hand, and, finding it, pulled her down beside him. Matt pointed at the base of the trunk to something, and Sora brought her head closer to his so she could see.
There, engraved in the dark brown trunk, was her full name encircled in a heart. She stared at "Takenouchi Sora", unmoving, very aware of Matt's face only inches away from hers. She decided to risk it, and turned to face Matt. She searched in his deep blue eyes for answers, but all she saw was longing and deep affection.
A snowflake landed on the tip of Sora's nose, and Matt lifted his hand slowly and gently wiped it away. Hesitating just a little bit, he softly touched her cheek.
That sent shivers of pleasure through Sora's body, and she continued looking at Matt, watching as his face drew slowly closer, his eyes never leaving hers.
Matt couldn't think clearly anymore. He was driven by his wild desire for Sora, all the years of not being able to show her what he really felt. His mouth was so close now that her hot breath felt nice on his face. He leaned forward one last time.
The moment their lips touched, Matt hesitated. This was what he's always wanted, but what about her?
Sora felt him hesitating, and opened her eyes. His were open too, and a small blush crept onto her face. Matt pulled away, but couldn't hide the desire he now had to contain. For a moment, Sora's eyes clouded over, but then she smiled.
"You should've told me sooner, Yama-kun," she whispered, and brushed off some of the snow from his hair.
Matt put both of his hands on Sora's shoulders, and searched in her eyes.
"This is... ok?" he asked her, still looking intently. Sora nodded once.
She suddenly realized something - she wanted to kiss him. And then she blushed. It was so awkward with him only inches away from her, staring at her, while she was thinking about kissing him. Or was it?
Matt suddenly stood up, and then bent down and put his arms around Sora's waist. He pulled her up, but didn't let go of her. A gust of wind blew in Sora's face, blowing her hair out of her eyes. But the same wind blew at the back of Matt's head, ruffling his hair into his face. Surprisingly, he didn't start putting it back like he usually reacted. He let it blow all over as he lowered his head, and kissed Sora's lips once more. He had never wanted anyone quite this way.
This time Sora responded passionately, raising her arms to run her fingers through his hair and then locking them around his neck. They moved closer together, until it felt as if they became one. The snow and wind danced around them, unnoticed by the pair that was so absorbed in each other. The snowflakes touching them melted instantly, as though caught in the flames of their raging passion.
