Chapter 8
It was later in the day and TK and Kari decided to take a walk. Tai and Sora opted out of that since they both had enough exercise for one day.
"So what should we do while they are gone?" Sora asked
"I don't know about you, but I tired" Tai said yawning
"Well of course you are since you haven't ran in such a long time" Sora said
"Yeah, and didn't even stretch beforehand" Tai said scratching his head
"Well go take your nap, I'll be fine" Sora said
Tai nodded and left
Sora sighed as she flipped through the channels trying to find something to watch when she found an interesting infomercial, but that didn't and she was back to channel surfing. She did that until she decided to give up and try to read. She went to her room and grabbed a book from her bookshelf and began to read. She spend a good half hour on that until she got bored and tired herself she then headed off to bed. She tried to sleep, but found that she could get comfortable and thought of doing something that she hadn't done in many years. Sleep with Tai. She used to do that when they were younger and she had trouble sleeping.
Sora crept into Tai's room and found him fast asleep, which was good since not even a nuclear bomb could wake him up. She slowly made her way to the bed tiptoeing through strewn items that were on the floor.
I have no idea how he doesn't kill himself Sora thought
When she finally made it to her destination she lay down and snuggled close to her friend. She felt Tai move and froze for a moment, but let out a breath, he just readjusted himself. His new position made her snuggle closer, then once she was all snuggled in Tai wrapped his arm around her. She smiled as she felt his warm breath on her neck. She soon fell asleep listening to the sound of his breathing.

"Come on Sora, we're going to be late" a seven-year-old Tai shouted
"Keep your goggles on Tai, I'm coming" Sora said as she made her way to her best friend
"About time, now all you need to do is get changed and I'll meet you on the field" Tai said
Sora nodded and watched Tai leave before she went to the locker room and change. Once there she dropping her duffle bag and got changed. Today was the final match of the season and if they won they could go to the playoffs. Once she was changed she raced out to the field to find Tai waiting for her.
"Alright, now that you're here they don't stand a chance" Tai said grinning
"Yeah, together we're unstoppable" Sora said matching his grin
Their coach then shouted at them to get warmed up, which they did and chat also.
"So is your mom here?" Tai asked
Sora frowned
"No she isn't, she told me that she couldn't make it" she said
"I'm sorry Sor, but you can her the trophy afterwards" Tai said smiling
"Yeah, so where are Kari and your mom?" Sora asked scanning the stands
"Mom had to pick up Kari from TK's" Tai said
"They spend a lot of time together" Sora commented
Tai shrugged
They warmed up and was called over for their coach's pep talk, which didn't do much. But after the coach was done Tai gave his own and that really fired them up. During the game Tai and Sora worked in tandem and were hard to beat. They won the game with the score of 4-3. It during the trophy presentation when it began to rain.
"Oh no, my mom's going to kill me" Sora said
"Don't worry Sor, I can be with you so you don't take the worse of it" Tai said grinning
"Thanks Tai" Sora said smiling
She then impulsively kissed Tai on the cheek
"What was that for?" Tai asked blushing like mad and confused
"I wanted to" Sora answered wearing the same blush
Tai grinned and kissed Sora's cheek
"We're even" he said

Sora smiled at the memory and wondered why they didn't progress into a couple. But she then remembered that Tai didn't feel the same about her and that's why she went after Matt. She waited for Tai to make a move, but none ever came and she got tired of waiting so she moved on. But even during her time with Matt she still felt her heart tug a the sight of Tai's trademark smile. Or blush when he was close to her.
"Sora, what are you doing here?" Tai asked sleepily
"I was tired, but didn't want to sleep alone" Sora said turning towards Tai
"I'm not complaining or anything, but it is kind of shocking finding your best friend in your bed" Tai said
"Oh come on Tai, we've shared a bed before" Sora said
"Yeah, but that's when were in younger" Tai argued
Sora shrugged
"I felt nostalgic" she said
"Well, if you ever feel that way again you're always welcome" Tai said smiling
Sora smiled back, "thanks Tai"
She then kissed him on the cheek
"What was that for?" Tai asked confused and blushing slightly
"I wanted to" Sora said blushing slightly also
Tai grinned and kissed her cheek
"We're even" he said
--
They stayed in bed for a good majority of the time reminiscing about the good 'ol days as Tai now calls them.
"Remember the time when we ditched school to go to the fair in town?" Tai asked
"How can I forget, it was so exciting, but I felt like someone was watching us all the time" Sora said
"Hey, it was fun and you needed it, you were stressing about tests and stuff" Tai said
"I know and I'm glad you did" Sora said as she hugged Tai
"Hey do you remember our late night sneak outs?" Tai asked
"Do I? I loved those" Sora said smiling
"Yeah, though it was fun waking you up for those" Tai said snickering
"I got you back for those, remember" Sora said smacking Tai in the arm
"Oh fine, I concede" Tai said pouting
Sora giggled she couldn't remember the last time she felt so carefree in her life.
"Well I know you're comfortable, but I need to use the bathroom" Tai said getting up
Sora groaned
"Hey, I'll be right back" Tai said as he got to the door
After Tai got back and he was about climb back into bed Sora stopped him.
"Did you wash your hands?" she asked
"Yes mother, I did" Tai said sarcastically
Sora grabbed a pillow and whacked him with it
"Hey"
Sora rolled her eyes and scooted over for Tai to climb in
"So what should we do now?" Tai asked wagging his eyebrows suggestively
Sora giggled and smacked Tai in the chest
"Tai"
"What, just asking" he said innocently
"Oh ,what am I going to do with you?" Sora asked out loud
"Don't know, but you can't live without me" Tai said
"That's true, you've been such a part of my life that I can't think of a moment where you weren't there" Sora said softly
"And I'll always be there for you" Tai said softly brushing a strand of hair behind her ear
Sora blushed not understanding why she was reacting like this
"Sor, are you alright?" Tai asked
Sora shook her head, "yeah, I guess I've been in bed too long"
Tai shrugged
"Come on, let's get up" Sora said
Tai sighed and did, he followed her out of his room and found that TK and Kari were still gone.
"I wonder what those two are up to?" Sora asked out loud
"Hopefully they are getting their feelings out so I would be free of the torture" Tai said
"Torture?" Sora questioned
"Yeah, it kills me when I see two people who belong together and aren't" Tai said
"I never knew you were a romantic Tai" Sora said
"There's a lot you don't know about me" Tai smirked
"Oh yeah" Sora said
"Yeah" Tai said
"Well if that's how it is then I'm going to have to get you to tell me" Sora said smiling
"You can try Takenouchi, you can try" Tai said smirking
Sora leapt at Tai, but evaded and thus began a chase around the apartment. This what TK and Kari came back to.
"We leave you two alone for a while and you revert back to children" Kari said with her hands on her hips
"She started it" Tai said childishly pointing at Sora
"Only because he won't tell me" Sora shot back in the same childish manner
TK shook his head
"This why we can't go out dear, we leave and they start these fights" TK said sound like a father
This cause everyone to burst out laughing
