Digimon Fan Fiction ❯ In The Moonlight ❯ Chapter 2

Matt sighed as he pushed the back door of the club open. He was tired after the show but he knew it was the best one he had ever given. Seeing Sora out there on the dance floor, looking like a Goddess and knowing that she was his had inspired him to ding and play his best. Sora looked so sexy on the dance floor, her body swaying with the music. It had been hard for Matt not to look at her and he had almost missed a cue in the music, his thoughts were so distracted.
He looked down the alley and saw Sora. She seemed to be looking off into the distance. Matt snuck up behind her, slipping his arms around her waist as he kissed her neck.
"Oh Matt!" Sora said and playfully slapped his arms.
Matt pulled her closer. "Where's Tai?" he asked "I though we were going to tell him tonight. I saw him with you earlier."
Sora looked off into the distance again. "Tai. he, uh had to leave. Wanted to study or something"
Matt laughed 'Tai? Studying? I'll believe that when I see it!"
"So what do you want to do now?" Sora asked.
"I'm hungry!" Matt spoke and then started to nibble on Sora's ear.
Sora giggled and pulled away. She turned to face him and he pulled her closer again, this time kissing her lips softly. The kiss was long and sweet. When their lips finally parted it was only for a few seconds as they continued to kiss again and again. Each time with more feeling than the last.
Matt's hands moved, feeling their way down Sora's back until they rested on her hips. He felt a shiver as he caressed her bare skin. It was then that his stomach gave a loud growl.
They both started to laugh and pulled away from each other.
"You weren't joking about being hungry were you?" Sora smiled.
Matt shook his head "I really am. I haven't eaten since lunch! We spent all afternoon getting ready for tonight."
"Maybe we should go get something to eat then?" Sora laughed.

TK and Kari stood outside the purikura machine waiting for their photo stickers to develop.
Kari was so excited when TK had asked her to go watch Matt's band that night. She thought it was awesome they way TK tried to support his brother so much. Even though TK hadn't asked to be her boyfriend yet, she was sure that he felt the same way she did. For now she was content with their friendship.
"Thanks again for taking me tonight!" Kari smiled "I love watching Matt play!"
TK laughed "Well, I wish that we could have been able to get closer to the stage."
They had been near the back of the club. From there they could see the stage and they were also able to catch a glimpse of Tai and Sora, though no one could see them from up front. Matt probably didn't even know they were there as well as her older brother. Kari didn't really care where she was in the club, as long as it was next to TK.
"Tai and Sora looked like they got pretty close to the stage huh?" Kari said as the machine spat their stickers out.
TK grabbed them and held them up, Kari smiled. They had decided to make this one goofy and both had made silly faces. Kari had also stolen TK's hat and had it placed on her own head for the picture.
"Here" TK said handing the sheet to Kari "You hold onto them. I'll get my half next week at school"
Kari nodded, placing the sheet in her purse as they walked out the doors of the game center. The cool night air was refreshing and Kari breathed it in. Looking up at the sky Kari stopped and just stared in awe.
"Wow! It's a full moon tonight. It looks so beautiful!" Kari said. She then suddenly felt an arm around her.
"It's not as beautiful as you are" TK softly whispered into her ear.
"Oh TK!" she said and then kissed him.
The kiss was long overdue. This kiss being their first should have happened years earlier but they both had been too shy to admit their feelings for each other. Kari, finally finding bliss in her life felt as though the world was spinning around her, but she didn't care. She was with the one she loved and he was kissing her.
They broke apart and just stared at each other. Kari giggled nervously as she watched TK's cheek turn to a bright scarlet color. They looked into each others eyes and unspoken words passed between them. Kari's wish finally came true. She was TK's girlfriend.
Not wanting to make the situation anymore awkward than it already was, Kari decided to change the subject.
"Sora sure looked beautiful tonight, didn't she?" Kari smiled to herself. She knew, even if Tai hadn't realized it yet, that her brother was hopelessly in love with Sora. She had watched them out on the dance floor together and knew that they would make the perfect couple. Secretly Kari had always hoped that someday Sora would be her sister in-law. She couldn't imagine anyone else in that spot.
"Yeah, she did" TK smiled. They continued to walk together, though now they were holding hands.
"Actually speaking of which, I have a big secret to tell you!" TK said with mischief in his eyes.
Kari laughed "What is it?"
"Well first you have to promise to tell. I'm not even supposed to know I think. I just accidentally found out." TK said smiling evilly.
"I promise! Now will you just tell me?" Kari said lightly punching TK in the arm.
"Ouch!" TK said in mock pain. "Well if that's the way you're going to treat me, I just won't tell you!"
"TK!" Kari said in exasperation.
"Nope I'm not telling you. You beat me up." TK laughed, knowing full well that he was frustrating her.
"Here this will make it better!" Kari said and kissed him once more. She loved the feel of their lips together. As they parted once more Kari grinned at the bright shade of red TK turned once more.
"Do you forgive me now?" Kari asked.
TK still blushing nodded "Yeah. Okay so here it is. Last night everyone was out of the house. I thought that Matt had band practice and mum and dad were off at a business meeting. I had basketball practice but when I was half way there, I remembered that I had forgotten my shoes. I had everything but my shoes! I mean who goes to basketball practice and forgets their shoes!"
"Get on with it already!" Kari laughed.
"Okay so anyway I turn around and go home. When I get there, lights are on in the apartment. Strange, yes because I was the last one out and I did turn them all off! So I let myself in quietly to get my shoes and I saw Matt and Sora making out on the couch!" TK finished.
Kari stopped walking and stared at TK. "Sora. and Matt.."
"Are going out!" TK finished for her. "Isn't that awesome?"
In her mind Kari saw Tai and Sora, earlier that night dancing together. Her brother looked so happy. Then the image of Sora and Matt kissing crossed over. She felt terrible. Suddenly her heart felt heavy. Something was wrong with Tai. She had to go find him.
"TK I've got to go!" Kari said and then kissed him lightly.
"Where?" TK asked suddenly confused.
Kari looked at him. She couldn't tell him. Tai had never admitted his feelings. Not even to himself, she couldn't betray him like that. "I just have some things to do. Call me tomorrow okay?"

***

Tai lay on his bed. The lights were off in the whole apartment. He was the only one home. His parents had gone out earlier and Kari was who knows where, probably with some friends. Tai didn't care though. He had just had his heart broken.
The picture of him and Sora that he had been looking at earlier now lay on the floor, broken glass surrounding it from when it had been thrown against the wall in jealous rage.
The rage was gone now. All he felt was hopelessness. The girl he loved was with his best friend. He had such mixed emotions that he didn't even know how he felt anymore. Sora, the love of his life and the one who had been though everything with him. Matt, his best friend in the world. Sure they teased each other but that was just how it worked. They had betrayed him and he hated them. Hated them more than anything else in the world. But at the same time he loved them, hadn't they seen him though everything? We're they the ones he turned to in times of need? He needed someone now more than ever but had no one to turn to.
Tai turned on his side. He was a pathetic mess, all alone in the darkened room. He was now facing his window and the moonlight shone brightly over him.

Sora played with the straw in her water class. She didn't know how she was going to tell Matt what happened but she knew she had to.
They had just finished ordering and Matt was gazing at her lovingly.
"Matt there's something we need to talk about" Sora finally blurted out.
"Okay what is it about?" Matt said resting his chin on his hands.
"It's about Tai" Sora looked at her water glass.
"Look Sora we'll tell him as soon as we can. I'm sure that he'll be excited about it! Until then we won't let anyone else know!" Matt smiled.
"No it's not that. Look Matt the reason why he didn't stay after the concert is. well." Sora played with her straw some more.
Matt started to look concerned. "Sora whatever it is tell me!"
"When we were out in the alley waiting for you" Sora stopped playing with her straw and reached into her pocket, "He game me this" she said and handed the pink charm to Matt and finally looked him in the eyes.
Matt took the charm and studied it. She noticed the look of surprise cross over his face as he saw the embroidered symbol for love on it.
"It's beautiful. does this mean what I think it does?" Matt said looking at her.
Sora nodded.
Matt ran a hand though his hair. "This is more serious than I thought" he said with a sigh.
"He gave me the charm and then kissed me. Afterward he told me about how much he loved me. I felt terrible Matt! I didn't know what to do so I told him about us. He looked crushed Matt, really terrible! I tried to give the charm back to him but he said that I should keep it. Maybe that it would bring good luck to our relationship" Sora continued.
Matt looked at her "Well there you go, see he's fine with it! He wished us luck in our love!"
Sora shook her head "It's not like that. I think he was just trying to save face. Matt I really crushed him. He left saying that he didn't want to intrude on my time with my boyfriend. He then walked away." Sora then started to cry again for the third time that night.
"Sora, Sora honey it's going to be okay!" Matt said placing a hand on her shoulder.
"No Matt, it's not" she managed though her sobs, "I've just lost my best friend!"
