Like That
This fic is to the song in Grease "Worse things I could do" I don't own any of Clamp's characters, or this song. R&R!
I can't believe Syaoron said that about me.
Perhaps I should clarify.
My name is Li Meiling, newly dubbed `Glomp Slut' by my own fiancée.
But perhaps that term shouldn't even be used. Sakura is his heart's friend. Not me.
And what's the harm in loving him with all my heart?
There are worse things I could do.
There are worse things I could do
Then hang out with a boy or two
Just because the neighborhood thinks I'm trashy and no good
I suppose it could be true
But there are worse things I could do...
This is at the dance I'm writing this, you know. Sakura's not nearly as innocent as she was last year. Now I get sick just looking at her on the dance floor, and the crowd of men drooling on the floor where they each had a dance with the cherry blossom.
I could flirt with all the guys
Smile at them, and bat my eyes
Press against them when we dance
Make them thing I stole a chance
Then refuse to see it through
That's a thing I'd never do
Not even Tomoyo is here today. She's suffered so much for Sakura over the years, making her costumes, and listening to Sakura's truest feelings- namely, her truest feelings of love for Syaoron. She doesn't even try anymore. She just waits.
I could stay home
Every night
Wait around
For Mr. Right
Take whole showers every day
And throw my life away
On a dream come true.
But I am not alone in my fruitless task. There are other ordinary ones like me who like Li. They just never reach the beauty of his eyes, merely because they don't have magic. Just like me. I won't throw it in their faces just because I was lucky enough to be a star with him- that would be downright cruel.
I could hurt someone like me
Out of spite or jealousy
I'm not even remotely evil! I don't steal, or graffiti stuff over, or even lie! Yes, I'm proud never to have lied in my life.
I don't steal
And I don't lie.
My heart's breaking, Syaoron. Seeing your cold glare directed at me, merely because you think it'll get rid of me. I'm not unbreakable, Li Syaoron. Why won't you realize that!
No.
I won't cry in front of you.
I'd be weak if I did that.
And being weak is the worst thing I could do.
But I can feel
And I can cry
A fact I bet you never knew
But to cry in front of you
That's the worst thing I could do...

Author's Notes
I wrote this because people seem to be delighting in writing fics where Meilin(g) dies, and calling her a brat! She's not like that at all! She's a strong woman who won't give up her man- and who wouldn't respect that in real life?
