This one shot popped into my head as an idea after reading a few Tifa/Sora stories.

Hope you like it!

You're Here With Me.

"You're making me… sweat."

"Hold still dammit, I can't get this stupid thing on!"

Sora didn't understand why he couldn't wear a clip on or at least even a real tie instead of this ridiculous bow tie.

And he also didn't understand why he was Tifa's date to this party…

"Tifa" Sora whined for the third time as she almost strangled him with the bow.

"What?" she snapped in her anger at the dreaded bow tie.

Sora gulped and refused the urge to reach up and loosen the chokehold on his throat, Tifa made sure he learned from the last time he tried that and he still had the slap marks on his hand to prove it.

"Don't you think it's a little odd?" he asked her.

She looked up quickly with her eyebrow raised, "What's a little odd?" she looked back at her work.

Sora gulped again, "Um… you and I going on a date when we're so far apart in… age"

She chuckled and the bow tie was finally in place. "You don't want to go with me?" she asked and stood up.

The two were in Tifa's room of Merlin's house getting ready for the big party that was Riku's birthday.

"N-no!" Sora shook his head, looking much like a puppy (especially in his suit), and reached up to adjust his tie. "DON'T touch it" Tifa snapped holding her hand out. Sora jumped and put his hands back at his sides on the bed he was sitting on.

"Hey Sora"

Sora looked back up at Tifa to see a mysterious smile on her face. He gulped again and scooted back a little, "W-what?"

"You want to help ME get dressed for the party now?"

--K-I-N-G-D-O-M--H-E-A-R-T-S--

"You're already drunk…" Riku held his patience as much as he could, which was very difficult since there was a very drunk Yuffie hugging him.

"Happy birfday!" she giggled and wandered away to go harass Cloud (who was surrounded by girls admiring his choice of coming in a suit).

Riku's birthday was a big thing because it was also the day before Christmas.

Kairi had planned the whole thing and made it a formal party in the Beast's castle (with his permission.

Riku was silently cursing Kairi as he stood in a corner with his hands in his pockets. "Happy birthday Riku!" was said to him constantly by people he knew (his friends some would call them) who were arriving to the castle in suits and dresses.

Nobody was surprised when Sora showed up late, but they were surprised about his date… Tifa.

She had on a nicely fit black dress (Riku made sure no one noticed when he stared) and held Sora's hand. Sora looked uncomfortable as hell.

"I didn't know they were uh… seeing each other," Namine said quietly from beside Riku.

"Lucky bastard.." Riku muttered under his breath, staring at Tifa's 'dress'.

--K-I-N-G-D-O-M--H-E-A-R-T-S--

The party had opened up to dancing and now the dance floor in the ballroom was packed as music thumped.

Tifa (not being much of the type to sit around) had dragged Sora to the dance floor.

"Come on Sora!" she yelled as she grinded on him to get a reaction.

Sora was visibly panicking as she rubbed on him to the music, "Uh, I can't dance"

She laughed and took his hands to make him dance with her.

Sora was voicing his complaints but Tifa just kept smiling and dancing.

The song ended and Tifa let him go, "Let's go get a drink it's so hot in here!"

Sora sighed with relief and let her lead him to the bar.

"I'll have a beer and my date will have juice" Tifa told the man behind the bar and gave a teasing smile to Sora.

Sora frowned.

"Relax Sora, I was just giving you a hard time" Tifa told him, receiving her beer and taking a drink.

Riku came to the bar and sat down next to Sora, "how's the party?"

Sora smiled and gave a thumb up.

Suddenly Tifa wrapped her arms around Sora and up to his chest and laid her chin on his head, "Oh Sora and I are having a great time," she practically moaned with her eyes closed.

Riku raised his eyebrow at Sora and mouthed 'I hate you'

Sora uncomfortably fidgeted as Riku left to go talk to Leon.

Sora heard a slow song start up on the dance floor and looked a Tifa nervously.

"Tifa stared straight ahead with the last of her beer to her mouth, "don't worry," she told him. "I don't do slow songs either"

Sora smiled and returned to his cranberry juice.

"Um, Sora?" a timid voice asked and both Sora and Tifa turned to see Kairi standing behind them.

She had a light red dress on that ended at her knees and a red flower in her hair.

Tifa noticed she was blushing a little and had her arms behind her back.

"Will you dance with me?" Kairi asked shyly.

Sora looked at Tifa and Tifa looked at Kairi. "Uh, if it's not a problem with you Tifa" Kairi added in.

Tifa simply nodded and finished her beer after ordering another.

Sora got up and smiled at Tifa before leaving.

"I don't care," Tifa told herself, alone at the bar. "It' just a dance."

"We're not even going out."

"He's a sixteen year old kid."

"Why am I even mad?"

"Kairi's his age…"

"I'm not mad."

"I'll just dance with someone else…"

"Damn it Sora's MY date!"

Finished arguing with herself, she got up from the bar (after downing the rest of her booze), and walked briskly out to the dance floor.

She found Kairi and Sora slowly dancing in the crowd close to each other.

She walked over and grabbed Sora's arm, pulling him away from Kairi.

Both Kairi and Sora looked shocked, but didn't have time to complain or ask questions as Tifa pulled Sora off the dance floor.

"Uh, Tifa?" Sora asked as he was being dragged toward the door to the castle.

"Where are we going?"

Tifa smiled as they got into her black corvette, "back to my room."

Sora gulped from the passenger seat.

"I need to blow off some steam" she told him, driving with a mischievous smile.

"Besides," she told him,

"You'll be able to take off that bow tie now."
