11: 7 o'clock!
Sora sighed as she stepped out of the shower, wrapping the towel around her body. She had been crying her eye out in the shower and was so pissed that she was going through with the date. Sora was so tempted to gag herself so that she was throwing up everything, but then Yamato would want to know why she had backed out by forcing herself to become sick and why it was so terrible for her.
"Sora!" Mimi's voice rang form outside the bathroom door. "Sora, c'mon, it's 6:20 and we've still got to get your hair and make-up done!" Sora sighed, Faye had gone to Taichi and Yamato's to get ready to go with Taichi on the blind date. Which meant that Sora was left in the dorm with Mimi, the queen of girly-girls. Sora smirked. 'No, not the queen- the INVENTOR of girly-girls!' Sora chuckled at the thought, but then Sora thought of what Yamato had told her about his reasons for disliking Mimi and Sora felt more tears swell in her eyes at the thought of her boyfriend.
"Damn it, I thought I had cried you all out of my system!" Sora said in a disappointed whisper.
~\/. /\_/\. \/~
Mimi smiled at Sora as she finally walked out of the bathroom. Mimi had never understood why Sora had never worn dresses; she had the great figure and the legs for them. But, then again, Sora had always been the tomboy that cared more about playing jokes on her friends then what outfit she would wear to impress them.
"Sit!" Mimi stated and quickly threw Sora's hair into a bun, but left her two bangs that hung in her face, adding a little more sexy flare to Sora that was sure to have the guy asking Sora to come over that night. Mimi noticed the puffyness in Sora's irritated eyes and wondered why her friend was crying, but didn't call her on it.
"Mimi, hurry up, please!" Sora said, irritation and annoyance slipping out of Sora's tone. Mimi nodded and applied a light blush to Sora's cheeks (A/n if I screw up on how the make-up goes or the names, don't get mad. Yes, I'm a girl, but I hate make-up. So I'm lucky I even know what some things are.) Mimi slowly applied the sparkling flesh colored lipstick to Sora's lips, accenting them so that they looked fuller and more pout like then before.
"Finished!" Mimi stated as she stepped back from Sora. Sora nodded, grabbed her purse and walked out of the dorm, leaving a bewildered Mimi alone.
~\/. /\_/\ .\/~
Yamato frowned at his reflection. He normally would spend a few hours taking care of his look, but right now, he did everything half-heartedly. His hair was his baby and even that didn't have the same look that it normally did. The dress shirt hung to his body and barely covered his jeans. He pulled his denim jacket on and grabbed his shades, even if it was night, Yamato still had to bring his shades with him.
"Yamato, you know the restaurant, Faye and I are gonna go on our date now!" Taichi bellowed from the front door. Yamato listened to the door shut and waited a few minutes before quickly picking up the phone and dialing Sora's cell. He stopped after the first ring and hung up. He couldn't face her like that. He knew that he would probably sound weak and childish if she had picked up.
Yamato sighed, grabbed his car keys and headed for his car and the restaurant. Blocking all tears that threatened his eyes.
~\/. /\_/\ .\/~
Faye smiled as the car parked into the space besides Jyou's car. She hugged Taichi to her and smiled as they saw Jyou and Mimi standing on either side of Sora. As Faye and Taichi approached their friends, they could tell that Sora was not looking happy.
"Sora, what's wrong?" Taichi asked as he saw the glum expression on Sora's face.
"Nothing. Just nerves, you know." Sora replied with a fake smile. Taichi raised his eyebrow and shrugged. He opened the door for the girls and waited until Jyou had entered before following them to the podium.
"Hello, how can I help you?" A young waitress asked Taichi with a smile.
"We have reservations under Yagami, Taichi and another under Ai, Yuujo." Taichi said with a smile. Sora sighed and glanced out the glass doors. She had never been to this restaurant before, but it was a little Italian place that, Sora could only assume, Taichi had taken his girlfriends before.
"Right this way, please.' The waitress said and escorted Taichi, Faye and Sora to the back. Mimi and Jyou smiled at each other as they waited patiently for their other friend to arrive.
Sora stopped as she approached the table, her cell started playing the tune to the Teenage Wolves first hit, which meant that Yamato was calling. Sora grabbed her cell to answer it, but Yamato hung up before she could get to it. Taichi and Faye looked at Sora as she put the phone back into her purse.
"Who was that?" Faye asked curiously. Taichi knew who it was because of the song, but of course Faye hadn't really heard any of Yamato's songs since she had come from America and Yamato never talked about his band since the "incident". (A/n My next story, a prequel, will talk about these lil things.)
"I'll explain it to you." Taichi said quietly and ushered Sora to take her seat at the empty booth, while Taichi and Faye sat at the booth for four. Faye watched Sora sadly, staring out the window as if she could see something or somebody that she'd rather be with.
"Taichi, she looks so upset. Any idea why she's so removed?" Faye asked quietly as she noticed Mimi and Jyou give the thumbs up for Yamato's arrival.
"No, she's never normally like this, but then again Mimi hasn't really been on her good side recently. I have no clue why they were best friends, but now, something seems to be bugging her. I think that she's got a crush on another guy and he's probably dating some girl." Faye nodded and smiled as she watched an unenthusiastic Yamato walk towards them. Mimi and Jyou close behind him.
"I made it, happy, Yagami?" Yamato said as if he had been told that they would've murdered Takeru if he hadn't shown up. Yamato glanced around the restaurant and spotted a girl at a table and his heart jumped, and at the same moment his stomach jerked at the thought of him checking out a girl that wasn't Sora.
"Yeah, very happy!" Taichi replied. He stood up and allowed Jyou and Mimi to take their seats before escorting Yamato to his seat. "This is where you'll be sitting." Taichi stated as he pointed to the booth. Sora looked up at Taichi and gasped.
~\/. /\_/\ .\/~
Sora heard Taichi's voice and turned to look at him. She looked up at her childhood friend and then at the man she was to meet and gasped. It was Yamato. Sora resisted every urge to wrap her arms around his neck and kiss him.
"Wait, you mean to tell me that you are trying to set me up with Sora!?" Yamato asked a little taken back at the thought. Yamato felt his stomach relax and every bone/ muscle in his body fill with excitement, but nobody except Sora caught this. Sora smiled at Yamato's acting skills. "Taichi, she's my best friend! That's like…that's like…" Yamato looked around trying to thin of an example but came to none. But Taichi smirked.
"Like Hikari and Takeru?" Yamato nodded, then stopped and shook his head.
"Taichi!" Yamato glared at his best friend. In truth he wasn't all that pissed that Taichi had done this, but he had to act disgusted.
"Ishida, sit and eat. We're picking up the bill so don't worry about the prices. Just try it out, please, you two?!" Taichi asked almost begging his two best friends. Sora and Yamato sighed and Yamato sat down in defeat. "Thanks!" Taichi smiled. "Now, you two love birds have fun." Sora was about to say something when Yamato brushed a bang from Sora's face.
Sora froze as she watched Yamato sit back into the booth, getting on an angle so that Taichi and the others couldn't see him or Sora. He smiled at her teasingly, relief soaking his eyes.
"So, you got Taichi to change your plans?" Sora asked glancing out the window. She side glanced at Yamato and twirled a strand of hair on her finger. Yamato sighed.
"No, but I'll guess that your meeting was a blind date, huh?" Yamato asked quietly. Sora nodded. Yamato glanced from the window to her and smiled. Sora glanced at him and saw him smiling at her.
"What?" Sora asked as she felt herself blush. Yamato took her hand and smiled.
"You look beautiful." Yamato whispered and kissed her hand. Sora smiled, but stopped. "I'm really glad that I was the guy you were supposed to meet." Sora looked at Yamato, asking him to carry on with her eyes. "Well, if it had been some other guy I'd have to kill him for seeing you in the dress that I picked out." Sora smiled.
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you about this." Sora murmured softly as she scooted closer to Yamato, resting her head on his shoulder.
"Don't worry about it. I'm just glad that this didn't hurt us as bad as I thought it might. I mean, I'm just as guilty for not telling you." Sora smiled warmly as Yamato wrapped his arms around her. "Let's go back to my place." Yamato said with a flash of his Ishida smile. Sora nodded and pecked Yamato's lips.
"Follow my lead." Sora stood up and stormed away from the table.
~\/. /\_/\ .\/~
"Jyou, can you see what they're doing?" Mimi asked again. Jyou shook his head and glanced at the three sets of waiting eyes.
"They've moved into the corner, so the plants are blocking them and there's too much noise to tell what they're talking about." Jyou said quietly. Taichi laughed.
"I bet they're thinking of a way to get revenge on us." Taichi said as he leaned back in the booth smiling at the thought of what his friends could be plotting.
"Hey, Sora's getting up, she's going to the bathroom and she looks pissed." Jyou said quietly. Mimi and Faye both looked towards the bathrooms, only to see Yamato walking towards them.
"Thanks for trying to help us, you guys, but Sora and I talked it out and agreed that we don't want you guys to try and set us up! We also find it absolutly disgusting that you'd sink this low." Yamato turned and left. A few minutes later Sora walked out fuming. The group of four glanced at each other and sighed. They had just gotten two of their friends seriously pissed and might have lost their friendship.
~\/. /\_/\ .\/~
Yamato embraced Sora as they walked up the steps to his dorm. Sora and Yamato planned on making a TV dinner and watching a movie. Sora smiled and looked at Yamato's attire.
"You look so sexy." Sora said with a cute giggle. Yamato smiled and looked at her lovingly.
"You do, too." Yamato said as they opened the last door to his floor. Sora pressed her lips against Yamato's as Yamato turned towards his door. Yamato went to move away from the sudden pressure against him, but he realized whom it was and embraced Sora and kissed her back, the rest of the world became a blur as the passion in their kiss reached the breaking point.
~\/. /\_/\ .\/~
Taichi held the door open as Jyou carried Mimi into the elevator; Faye only steps behind him. Mimi had fallen and twisted her ankle while they were searching for Sora. She didn't have a way of getting home that they knew of, but while they were searching for her Jyou heard Mimi scream and the three of them had run to help her. They had found her on the concrete crying and trying to stop the pain in her ankle.
"Where's Sora?" Mimi asked quietly for the millionth time as the elevator doors shut. Jyou sighed and kissed Mimi's hand.
"She probably caught I taxi, don't worry, bout her. She's not that pissed." Taichi said reassuringly more for himself then the others. He wasn't sure what had happened to Sora, especially with the way she looked. Taichi was praying that Sora wasn't in the back seat of somebody's car right now, being hurt in ways that he would never understand and woudl never be able to punish the ass that was harming her.
The elevator doors opened and Taichi helped Jyou and Faye towards his dorm.
"What the-?!" Jyou stopped a few doors down from Taichi's dorm and gaped at the sight before him. Taichi and Faye followed Jyou's gaze and gasped in shock.
Before them, Yamato and Sora were lip locked. Yamato's arms wrapped tightly around Sora's waist and Sora's arms around Yamato's neck; Sora was wearing Yamato's jacket and was on her tiptoes.
"SORA!!!" Faye screamed in shock as she ran up to her friend. Sora didn't move and neither did Yamato. Taichi and Jyou squeezed past the two and opened the dorm door so Jyou could put Mimi down.
~\/. /\_/\ .\/~
Sora pulled away from Yamato's lips and smiled as the world around her turned from its hazy shade to a normal looking. Yamato smiled at her and brushed the hair from her face.
"Aishiteru" Yamato whispered as he stared at his girlfriend's face. Yamato couldn't stop smiling as he looked at her. Sora smiled and pecked Yamato quickly on the lips.
"Aishiteru, mo." Sora whispered and pressed her head against his chest.
"SORA!!!" Sora and Yamato looked around for the source for the voice. "YAMATO!" Yamato winced as he recognized the voice.
"Taichi?" Yamato queried, praying he was wrong.
"What the hell was that!? I thought you didn't want us to set you up!" Yamato smiled meekly, but kept his arms around Sora.
"Yeah, well, what do you think it was?" Yamato asked, knowing he was digging himself deeper.
" You, making out with Sora!" Taichi paused and stared at his friends. "And if I heard correctly, you guys just said that you love each other." Taichi was going to go ape shit at any moment and Sora was afraid that Yamato might be hurt or get into the fight.
"Fine, do you want the truth, Taichi!?" Sora asked, raising her voice to gain attention from both men.
"Sure, tell away, Sora." Taichi said with a glare in Yamato's direction.
"Yama and I have been dating for a little over eight months now! We've been really quiet about our relationship, because we didn't know how it would effect you." Sora paused and glanced at Yamato, whose eyes were watching her, waiting for her to finish with what she was saying.
"WHAT?!" Taichi blurted out. Yamato looked around the hallway and shuddered when he realized that every door had a sock or bra or something symbolizing that somebody was getting some action. This meant that they would not be saved by anybody, because their possible savior was making noise of their own.
"Taichi, calm down!" Sora ordered her friend. Taichi nodded and cooled down to hear Sora out. "I don't know about Yamato, but I was traumatized by the thought of this blind date because I didn't want to lose Yama. I had been planning on getting up after apologizing to the guy and storm out of the restaurant, with out giving anybody a look. But, Yamato was the guy and I was so confused and happy that we decided that we needed to be by ourselves to talk." Taichi snorted.
"Right, 'to talk'." Taichi used his famous finger quotes and laughed. "I'm sorry, but, Sora you have to agree, as long as we've known Yamato he's had commitment problems." Sora nodded and glanced at Yamato to see his reaction to Taichi. "So the fact that you two can be dating for almost a year and not have had sex, stayed loyal, or even talk for so long just doesn't sound plausible." Sora smiled as Yamato glared at Taichi.
"Well, you're not completely right, Taichi." Sora giggled and blushed slightly. Taichi's face went bright red and he glared at Yamato.
"You asshole! You took her fucking virginity!?" Yamato sighed.
"Yeah, and she took mine!" Taichi's mouth dropped in completely shock. "I can see where you are coming from, Taichi. Yet, you've seen the way I am with Sora, I just feel so relaxed and calm and I just…" Yamato paused and glanced at Sora with a sly smile. "I just can't see myself with any other woman." Yamato took Sora's hand and escorted her around Taichi and into his room.
"What happened, Tai?" Faye asked as her stunned boyfriend walked in.
"They- they're in love!" Taichi glanced at the bedroom and saw the lights turn off. Everybody turned and stared at the darkened room and listened to the shallow breathing of their two friends.
~\/. /\_/\ .\/~
Sora and Yamato walked onto the grounds outside of the stadium. It had been six years of college and they had just graduated. Yamato smiled and kissed the lips of his girlfriend of six years.
"C'mon." Yamato said as he pulled her towards the park, where they were to meet up with their friends.
"Yama?" Sora asked as they stood in front of a large willow tree that Sora, Taichi, Yamato, Takeru and Hikari had planted over twelve years ago, when they had returned from their first visit to the digital world.
"Sora, we need to talk." Yamato stated as he stared at Sora, his face blank of all expression. Sora's eyes widened in horror as she stared at Yamato, a thought more terrifying then she had ever thought, entering her mind. "Hold on, just a sec, my shoe." Yamato knelt onto one knee and started to fix his shoe with one hand, the other still holding Sora's. Yamato stared up at Sora and took a deep breath of air.
"What's wrong, Yama?" Sora asked again, fearing that after six years, Yamato had decided she wasn't the one for him.
"Takenouchi, Sora," Yamato started and smiled at Sora. "For the last six years you have loved me with no end and I have accepted every ounce of love you offered and returned it the best I could. Yet, I have loved you since the day I met you almost twenty years ago and have never and probably will never love another woman as much as I love you." Yamato held out a small ring box and took another swig of air. "Would you do me the honor of becoming my wife and allowing me to keep the promise that I love you forever?" Yamato asked and stared at Sora, her eyes brimming with tears as she stared at the small, delicate, heart-shaped, diamond, engagement ring.
~\/. /\_/\ .\/~
From the distance Faye and the Digi-destined, save for Yamato and Sora, were walking towards the arranged meeting spot. But all feet stopped as they saw a figure they knew all too well, on his knees before the female holding her hand.
"Is he-?!" Miyako asked in shock as she squeezed Ken's hand.
"Oh my God." Daisuke cried as he stared at his friends.
" Wow." Mimi, Hikari, Faye and Iori said in unison.
"I can't believe it." Jyou gasped.
"This is so prodigious!" Koushirou stated in awe.
"It's about time." Takeru sighed. With out saying a word, Taichi sprinted towards his two best friends.
~\/. /\_/\ .\/~
"Y-Ya-Yama…" Sora stuttered as Yamato slipped the ring on her finger. "Oh my God." Sora jumped into Yamato's arms and was swung around as Yamato and her lips met once for the first time as fiancés.
"Yamato! Sora!" Taichi hugged the two and smiled, ruffling Yamato's hair briefly. "Congrats." Taichi stated and smiled at his friends happily.
The other Digi-destined surrounded the couple and drenched them in congratulations and questions that they couldn't answer. After the chaos settled down, Yamato managed to steal Taichi away and walk out of ear shot of the others.
"Taichi, I want to thank you. I know I was an ass the night that you tried to set Sora and me up, but I want to thank you for helping us get together in the first place." Taichi stared at Yamato in shock. "If you hadn't gotten drunk that night at the party and fought to get control of car, we wouldn't have gotten in the accident and-" Taichi cut Yamato off.
"Dude, I'm so sorry about that. I never meant to get you involved in that stupid fight. I mean, those asses frayed the controls in my car so they'd short circuit and I never meant for you to get hurt." Taichi stated as he stared at Yamato, his eyes filled with regret.
"No, Taichi, you don't understand, when I heard the sound of us crashing the first thought that came to my mind was that I would never see Sora again or Takeru then my friends, but the last thing I saw before I blacked out and the first thing I saw when I came to was Sora's face and I realized that I cared way too much for her and that I needed to do something about it before I almost lost her again.
"So, in a sense, you helped Sora and me get together and I want to know, since you are my best friend and the person I believe helped me get the guts to finally ask Sora out, if you would be my best man?" Yamato asked staring at a star struck Taichi.
"Sure." Taichi and Yamato gave each other a high 5 and started towards the group. "Oh, and Yamato, thanks for telling me that. Now I don't feel so guilty." Yamato smiled at Taichi as Sora ran up to Yamato and hugged him to her.
Taichi smiled at his two best friends and knew that they were going to be happy for the rest of their lives.

Well, that was the end, I hope you guys liked it. I had fun writing it and I know it was a sappy ending, but I felt I needed to help close the reason for the accident of with the end of the story. Well, pls R&R and I'll hear from you all, hopefully, when I write another fic.
11: 7 o'clock!

"Where's Sora?" Mimi asked quietly for the millionth time as the elevator doors shut. Jyou sighed and kissed Mimi's hand.
"She probably caught I taxi, don't worry, bout her. She's not that pissed." Taichi said reassuringly more for himself then the others. He wasn't sure what had happened to Sora, especially with the way she looked. Taichi was praying that Sora wasn't in the back seat of somebody's car right now, being hurt in ways that he would never understand and woudl never be able to punish the ass that was harming her.
The elevator doors opened and Taichi helped Jyou and Faye towards his dorm.
"What the-?!" Jyou stopped a few doors down from Taichi's dorm and gaped at the sight before him. Taichi and Faye followed Jyou's gaze and gasped in shock.
Before them, Yamato and Sora were lip locked. Yamato's arms wrapped tightly around Sora's waist and Sora's arms around Yamato's neck; Sora was wearing Yamato's jacket and was on her tiptoes.
"SORA!!!" Faye screamed in shock as she ran up to her friend. Sora didn't move and neither did Yamato. Taichi and Jyou squeezed past the two and opened the dorm door so Jyou could put Mimi down.

Sora pulled away from Yamato's lips and smiled as the world around her turned from its hazy shade to a normal looking. Yamato smiled at her and brushed the hair from her face.
"Aishiteru" Yamato whispered as he stared at his girlfriend's face. Yamato couldn't stop smiling as he looked at her. Sora smiled and pecked Yamato quickly on the lips.
"Aishiteru, mo." Sora whispered and pressed her head against his chest.
"SORA!!!" Sora and Yamato looked around for the source for the voice. "YAMATO!" Yamato winced as he recognized the voice.
"Taichi?" Yamato queried, praying he was wrong.
"What the hell was that!? I thought you didn't want us to set you up!" Yamato smiled meekly, but kept his arms around Sora.
"Yeah, well, what do you think it was?" Yamato asked, knowing he was digging himself deeper.
" You, making out with Sora!" Taichi paused and stared at his friends. "And if I heard correctly, you guys just said that you love each other." Taichi was going to go ape shit at any moment and Sora was afraid that Yamato might be hurt or get into the fight.
"Fine, do you want the truth, Taichi!?" Sora asked, raising her voice to gain attention from both men.
"Sure, tell away, Sora." Taichi said with a glare in Yamato's direction.
"Yama and I have been dating for a little over eight months now! We've been really quiet about our relationship, because we didn't know how it would effect you." Sora paused and glanced at Yamato, whose eyes were watching her, waiting for her to finish with what she was saying.
"WHAT?!" Taichi blurted out. Yamato looked around the hallway and shuddered when he realized that every door had a sock or bra or something symbolizing that somebody was getting some action. This meant that they would not be saved by anybody, because their possible savior was making noise of their own.
"Taichi, calm down!" Sora ordered her friend. Taichi nodded and cooled down to hear Sora out. "I don't know about Yamato, but I was traumatized by the thought of this blind date because I didn't want to lose Yama. I had been planning on getting up after apologizing to the guy and storm out of the restaurant, with out giving anybody a look. But, Yamato was the guy and I was so confused and happy that we decided that we needed to be by ourselves to talk." Taichi snorted.
"Right, 'to talk'." Taichi used his famous finger quotes and laughed. "I'm sorry, but, Sora you have to agree, as long as we've known Yamato he's had commitment problems." Sora nodded and glanced at Yamato to see his reaction to Taichi. "So the fact that you two can be dating for almost a year and not have had sex, stayed loyal, or even talk for so long just doesn't sound plausible." Sora smiled as Yamato glared at Taichi.
"Well, you're not completely right, Taichi." Sora giggled and blushed slightly. Taichi's face went bright red and he glared at Yamato.
"You asshole! You took her fucking virginity!?" Yamato sighed.
"Yeah, and she took mine!" Taichi's mouth dropped in completely shock. "I can see where you are coming from, Taichi. Yet, you've seen the way I am with Sora, I just feel so relaxed and calm and I just…" Yamato paused and glanced at Sora with a sly smile. "I just can't see myself with any other woman." Yamato took Sora's hand and escorted her around Taichi and into his room.
"What happened, Tai?" Faye asked as her stunned boyfriend walked in.
"They- they're in love!" Taichi glanced at the bedroom and saw the lights turn off. Everybody turned and stared at the darkened room and listened to the shallow breathing of their two friends.

Sora and Yamato walked onto the grounds outside of the stadium. It had been six years of college and they had just graduated. Yamato smiled and kissed the lips of his girlfriend of six years.
"C'mon." Yamato said as he pulled her towards the park, where they were to meet up with their friends.
"Yama?" Sora asked as they stood in front of a large willow tree that Sora, Taichi, Yamato, Takeru and Hikari had planted over twelve years ago, when they had returned from their first visit to the digital world.
"Sora, we need to talk." Yamato stated as he stared at Sora, his face blank of all expression. Sora's eyes widened in horror as she stared at Yamato, a thought more terrifying then she had ever thought, entering her mind. "Hold on, just a sec, my shoe." Yamato knelt onto one knee and started to fix his shoe with one hand, the other still holding Sora's. Yamato stared up at Sora and took a deep breath of air.
"What's wrong, Yama?" Sora asked again, fearing that after six years, Yamato had decided she wasn't the one for him.
"Takenouchi, Sora," Yamato started and smiled at Sora. "For the last six years you have loved me with no end and I have accepted every ounce of love you offered and returned it the best I could. Yet, I have loved you since the day I met you almost twenty years ago and have never and probably will never love another woman as much as I love you." Yamato held out a small ring box and took another swig of air. "Would you do me the honor of becoming my wife and allowing me to keep the promise that I love you forever?" Yamato asked and stared at Sora, her eyes brimming with tears as she stared at the small, delicate, heart-shaped, diamond, engagement ring.
~\/. /\_/\ .\/~
From the distance Faye and the Digi-destined, save for Yamato and Sora, were walking towards the arranged meeting spot. But all feet stopped as they saw a figure they knew all too well, on his knees before the female holding her hand.
"Is he-?!" Miyako asked in shock as she squeezed Ken's hand.
"Oh my God." Daisuke cried as he stared at his friends.
" Wow." Mimi, Hikari, Faye and Iori said in unison.
"I can't believe it." Jyou gasped.
"This is so prodigious!" Koushirou stated in awe.
"It's about time." Takeru sighed. With out saying a word, Taichi sprinted towards his two best friends.
~\/. /\_/\ .\/~
"Y-Ya-Yama…" Sora stuttered as Yamato slipped the ring on her finger. "Oh my God." Sora jumped into Yamato's arms and was swung around as Yamato and her lips met once for the first time as fiancés.
"Yamato! Sora!" Taichi hugged the two and smiled, ruffling Yamato's hair briefly. "Congrats." Taichi stated and smiled at his friends happily.
The other Digi-destined surrounded the couple and drenched them in congratulations and questions that they couldn't answer. After the chaos settled down, Yamato managed to steal Taichi away and walk out of ear shot of the others.
"Taichi, I want to thank you. I know I was an ass the night that you tried to set Sora and me up, but I want to thank you for helping us get together in the first place." Taichi stared at Yamato in shock. "If you hadn't gotten drunk that night at the party and fought to get control of car, we wouldn't have gotten in the accident and-" Taichi cut Yamato off.
"Dude, I'm so sorry about that. I never meant to get you involved in that stupid fight. I mean, those asses frayed the controls in my car so they'd short circuit and I never meant for you to get hurt." Taichi stated as he stared at Yamato, his eyes filled with regret.
"No, Taichi, you don't understand, when I heard the sound of us crashing the first thought that came to my mind was that I would never see Sora again or Takeru then my friends, but the last thing I saw before I blacked out and the first thing I saw when I came to was Sora's face and I realized that I cared way too much for her and that I needed to do something about it before I almost lost her again.
"So, in a sense, you helped Sora and me get together and I want to know, since you are my best friend and the person I believe helped me get the guts to finally ask Sora out, if you would be my best man?" Yamato asked staring at a star struck Taichi.
"Sure." Taichi and Yamato gave each other a high 5 and started towards the group. "Oh, and Yamato, thanks for telling me that. Now I don't feel so guilty." Yamato smiled at Taichi as Sora ran up to Yamato and hugged him to her.
Taichi smiled at his two best friends and knew that they were going to be happy for the rest of their lives.
