The Perfect Arrangement ~ Taiora AU

~ Chapter 2 ~

Taichi had just arrived at school and his best friend, Yamato Ishida, was talking to Takeru Takaishi, his little brother. "Hey, Yamato, Takeru! Over here!" He called out to them. Yamato turned to see Taichi.

"Alright, he's here!" He was happy to see his best friend, but he wondered if he knew about the newspaper. He told Takeru to go to school and Takeru left, but not without saying hello to Taichi.

"Guess he had to go to school." Taichi says with a smile. Yamato grinned at Taichi and he suddenly frowned. Taichi noticed the frown and he got serious. "Is there a problem?" He asked his best friend.

"Have you looked at the newspaper or the news recently?" He asked. Taichi was confused very much.

"No, I haven't. Should I have checked?" Yamato couldn't believe Taichi sometimes.

"There are some news about you needing to be engaged to inherit your dad's business." Yamato was glad that Taichi wasn't drinking anything because he managed to choke on air.

"What the heck? I'm not even 16 yet. I'm 14, I'm still in middle school for goodness sake. I know dad lets me handle some of the business, but I'm not qualified to have the business until I turn 20." Taichi tells Yamato.

"I'm sure, but do you think that what's the media thinks?" He asked.

"Well, the media can come kiss my ass." Taichi grumbled and Yamato chuckled at his friend's dislike of the media. He knew what Taichi thinks of the media and he knew that Taichi hated when they interfere with his personal life, but that was the media. The paparazzi likes getting into famous people's business and Taichi was already well known because of the fact of his dad training him to fit into the "perfect boss" for his business that will soon be Taichi's business.

As he and Yamato attended classes all day, all the girls made starry eyes at both of them but Taichi ignored it while Yamato bathed in the attention. Dummy, basking in all of that attention isn't good for you. Kari warned me that all of the girls heard that I will be rich soon, but I'm not in the business for the money. If anything, I want Sora to be my wife. Taichi thought about the future with Sora in it.

At the end of the day, his dad called him, telling about attending a meeting with the people who will work with him. "Is it alright that I'm in my school uniform?" He asked to make sure.

"Of course, son. You'll still be in school while learning about the business." His father tells him and Taichi grinned at him.

"Of course, Dad. I'm on the way right now." He tells him. While Taichi walked to his father's business, he met with Sora and he blushed very heavily but he tried to hide it by scratching his nose.

"Hey, Tai, where you off to?" Sora asked. Her radiant smile made him grin at her.

"Oh, uh, Sora. I'm on the way to my dad's business." Taichi was honest with Sora and Sora grinned at him.

"Oh. Do you have to attend a meeting?" She asked. Taichi wondered how Sora could stay so calm and collected.

"Yeah, I do. My dad wants me to meet with some of the people who works with him." Taichi tells Sora.
