I Think I'm In Love With You
*DISCLAIMERS*
All the romantic mush story stuff was brainstormed by me, the matchmaker XP The characters arent
mine. I'm not good enough to create special characters like these people, so leave me alone! ^^;
Besides, it's fun to toy with these two LOL. They're sooooooo cuuuuute ^______^
Okies. So in this story, stuff happens (obviously). Sakura runs to Syaoran's house and gets sick
and ends up staying there (your typical romance story of Sakura and Syaoran ._.) but, because of
what Sakura is acting like, Syaoran feels it's time to TELL HER. It looked like she didnt take it
as he expected though ^_^;;;
Let's get on with the story.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Oh!! You'll look soooooo great in these new sportwear designs I made for your team!" Tomoyo
squealed as she handed Syaoran some clothes.
Tomoyo was at Syaoran's apartment, doing her favorite hobby as usual. Instead of dressing Sakura
up today, she decided to change for now and make Li-kun a model. Syaoran didnt really appreciate
doing this, but because she was his friend, he decided he might as well.
Besides, letting her down means it would.. or at least most probably... affect the girl of his
dreams.
He looked outside. It was pouring rain. It definitely wasnt the nicest of days to be outside.
Even the little kids refused to splash around in rain this bad.
"The weatherman actually predicted right for once. It's horrible outside," Tomoyo commented. "I
dont think rain jackets would even do any good."
"Well.... you can't do anything about it. Weather is weather. What you get is what you get."
"Put on the shirt already!!"
Syaoran slipped into a plain ordinary soccer shirt. At least you would have thought of it as
ordinary at first. As he put it on, the logo for Tomoeda Elementary was revealed.... with fancy
lettering and... other fancy girl stuff that wouldnt exactly show the 'manliness' of their team.
"DAIDOUJI!!" Syaoran screamed. "What's with this get up??!?!? It's a boy's soccer team, not a
girl's dress-up club!!!"
Tomoyo smiled. "It looks great on you! .. But I guess you're right. The outfit seems more for a
girl. I'll hand these uniforms to the girl's soccer team."
Syaoran changed his shirt as his air com (or whatever you call that thingamajig where people call
you on apartment things) went off. Syaoran jumped up and answered it. The person's face was
slowly revealed on the little TV.
"I wonder who would be crazy enough to come here in all this rain." Tomoyo gasped.
Syaoran's eyes went big as he saw his visitor. Tomoyo's eyes shortly followed. She jumped up and
went towards Syaoran's side.
"SAKURA! Get inside! I'll come down to get you!" Syaoran quickly said. He ran to his door and
yelled back at Tomoyo. "PRESS THE DOOR OPENER BUTTON THING!!"
Syaoran ran down the stairs like Superman (at least you would have though he ran that fast) to
the front door. Sakura looked like she was having a tough time opening the door. Syaoran held it
open for her... but.. Sakura still kept her grip on the door. Syaoran could understand, though.
Just by the looks of it, Sakura definitely wasn't feeling good. Sakura slowly fell down, while
Syaoran took this precaution of taking her into his arms. He sighed.
"Sakura, you shouldnt be out in rain like that." he reminded her as he rolled his eyes. "Now look
at what you've done to yourself."
Getting no reply, Syaoran picked her up and carried her back to his room.
As he walked inside, he found a very worried Tomoyo. She ran up to him, as her eyes pleaded to
tell her what to do.
"Get her to wake up. She needs to change out of those clothes. The towels and blowdryer are in
the washroom. I'll make some soup, and grab some extra blankets and stuff."
Tomoyo took Sakura and nodded. "Right." She shook Sakura a little bit, who was now half awake.
They both slowly walked to the bathroom. Then Tomoyo turned back to Syaoran.
"I dont have any clothes with me that would be warm enough," she said.
"I'm getting out extra blankets, remember? It's hot enough as it is in here anyways,"
Tomoyo took a glance at Syaoran, then led Sakura into the bathroom.
Syaoran looked around and wondered where to start. He trugded off to his bedroom and pulled out
a few thick extra blankets and dumped those on his bed. Then he proceeded to the kitchen and
grabbed some wonton noodles sitting in the fridge. Sakura really liked chinese food; at least
that's what she told him when he had her over for dinner once.
He thought about telling Sakura. Telling her the feelings that have built up ever since he had
feelings for her. He considered himself stupid. He wasnt able to tell her how he felt.. how he
really felt about her. He thought that he should, soon... and tell her that..... .....
No. That was too much. It would be too much for her, and it already is too much for him. But he
had to tell her soon. Otherwise he'll get nothing in return. There is no reward for being a
coward.
He let the soup be for a while, and browsed through his fridge to see if there was anything else
he could add. The milk grabbed his attention right away. Syaoran smiled, took it out and poured
it into a small pot. Then he reached for the honey in the cupboard and put a couple of teaspoons
in. Then he frowned. He should leave it for later. Sakura needed to sleep first.
The bathroom door opened as Syaoran headed over there. Tomoyo was having quite a time trying to
drag Sakura out of the bathroom. Sakura was dressing in the soccer uniform that Syaoran had put
on a while ago.
"She's heavy! I think Kero influenced her to eat so many pancakes.."
Sakura was still half asleep, leaning on Tomoyo's back. She murmured something; the both of them
couldnt make what she said. Syaoran lifted her off of Tomoyo's back and brought her inside his
room. Tomoyo followed, so she could help Syaoran. They pulled off the covers as Syaoran gently
laid Sakura down, then they put the covers back on.
"Ne, Li-kun. Dont you think those blankets are too much?" Tomoyo asked. "She wont be able to
breathe!"
Syaoran pulled the blankets off her face and shaped them around her head. "She'll be fine. She
just needs to sleep.... .. and a cold wet towel for that fever.."
~~~~~~~~
An hour passed. Tomoyo was preparing to leave, as her scary bodyguard ladies were waiting
outside. Tomoyo had to hurry, because it was still pouring outside. It would really be nice to
just.. leave them out there.
"I really wish I could stay longer and help you look after Sakura," Tomoyo sighed. "But mother
requires me to be home right now..."
Syaoran shook his head. "Dont worry, everything will be allright. She'll probably sleep for the
whole night, which would be good for her. But if she does wake up, I have hot soup boiling."
They both smiled at eachother, as Tomoyo nodded. She commented on how right he was, because
Li-kun can take care of himself. It wouldnt hurt to take care of another. They said their
farewells, and Tomoyo headed out the apartment. Then she turned around.
"Just because you're alone with her, doesnt mean you get to take advantage of her, you hear?"
Tomoyo said as she gave an evil glare to Syaoran.
Syaoran sweatdropped. "Why would I do that? Just because I'm a boy doesnt mean I'm as perverted
as the rest!!"
Tomoyo grinned. "I was just kidding! Li-kun, you should tell her how you really feel soon. I
mean, your deep, true feelings. Sakura won't realize it until you do. I know she really does deep
down inside."
"I know, I know. I just have to help her realize." Syaoran sighed. "You told me that a billion
times."
"And I'll tell you a billion times more if you dont!" Tomoyo teased. "Well, I'd better go now.
See ya at school tomorrow!"
"See ya."
Syaoran shut his door, and went to the kitchen. On his way there, he saw a half-awake Sakura
standing in the hallway.
"What are you doing? You should go back to sleep," Syaoran advised.
"I can't sleep." Sakura sleepily said as she rubbed her eyes.
"Why not? You were sleeping just fine quite a while ago."
Sakura nodded and walked a little closer. "I woke up from a bad dream.... and--"
Sakura was cut off there as she tripped. Syaoran, with his 'superman' speed, caught her just
in time before she hit the floor. Then his phone rang.
Syaoran grabbed the phone and spoke into it. "Moshimoshi?..... Ah, good evening Kinomoto-san..."
He glanced at Sakura who just sat up. She shook her head and looked at him.
"Tell him I'm sleeping," Sakura whispered.
Syaoran nodded in reply, and turned back to the phone.
"Yeah, Sakura's here. She looked awful when she arrived, so Tomoyo helped and we got her in a
warm bed.... Huh? Yeah. She's sleeping. She's been like that since we put her in there... What?
Sure I can take care of her.. why? ..... Going somewhere?" Syaoran gulped at Kinomoto-san's
request. "Well... I guess she could spend the night. But she doesnt have her school stuff with
her... You'll bring it over? Now? .... okay.. I guess I'll see you in a few minutes then. Bye."
Syaoran hung up the phone, as Sakura looked at him with questionable eyes.
"He's coming here to drop off your school stuff, in case you feel better tomorrow. Your dad has
to leave tonight and your brother is going to stay at Yukito's...."
Sakura nodded. "I'll get back in bed."
Sakura slowly headed back to the bedroom as Syaoran went the opposite way into the kitchen. He
looked at the honey swirls in the milk, then grabbed the pot. He turned up the heat on the pot
and watched it for a while. Soon, the doorbell rang. Syaoran ran over to the com to answer it.
"Come in, the door's open." Syaoran beamed. He pushed the buzzer and held it for a good 20
seconds. He let go and went back to watch the milk. He started to stir it as the heat rised. His
door opened and in walked Sakura's dad. Syaoran took the pan off.
"I really hope this won't be too much of a burden on you," Kinomoto-san said.
"Don't worry. I'll be fine." Syaoran assured, as he pointed to his room.
Kinomoto-san put down the bags and headed over there, as Syaoran followed. Her dad gave her a
light kiss on the cheek, with his hand giving her hair a few strokes after.
"I have to go now, since I have a train to catch." Fujitaka said.
Syaoran nodded. "Don't let me stop you. It's an important job."
"Take care of Sakura," Fujitaka smiled as he went out the door, leaving Syaoran alone again with
Sakura.
Syaoran took a glance at Sakura, who seemed to have fallen back asleep. He headed out the door,
when she shot up. Her eyes were blank, and she looked as if she didnt know where she was.
"Daijoubu?" Syaoran asked.
Sakura blinked a couple of times, then hopped out of bed. "It was another bad dream."
Syaoran looked at his balcony door and then back at Sakura. "Maybe you shouldnt go back to sleep
again." he said as he headed out his bedroom door. "There's hot soup boiling.. if you want any.."
Sakura nodded and followed Syaoran. Soon, both were seated on the dining table, with Sakura
finishing up her wonton. She put down her bowl with a happy smile, and a rosy cheek. "That was
really good!" Sakura grinned. Syaoran smiled back.
"I assume your fever is gone," Syaoran said.
"Ho~e? I dont know." Sakura replied.
Syaoran moved his hand towards her forehead and felt it. "Your forehead is still pretty hot, but
at least it's lower than before."
Sakura smiled. "I dont feel bad at all."
"How come you were in pouring rain without a raincoat and umbrella?" Syaoran asked, out of
nowhere. "That's the reason why you're sick. You shouldnt be out in that kind of rain."
Sakura looked away. "I had a fight with my brother.... it was mostly my fault, because I got very
upset at what he suggested."
"I see," Syaoran said as he went to the stove to heat up the honey milk again.
Silence was held for a few moments. Syaoran didnt want to be nosy so he just let her decide
whether she'll tell him or not.
"He told me he didnt appreciate my band of friends, especially you..." Sakura continued. "He
didnt say he hated anyone, but... he said that sometimes they can be a bother...."
Syaoran looked at Sakura.
"But now that I think about it, 'Nii-chan was only looking out for me because they were making a
big influence on my personality.. I got mad at him and ran out the door crying."
Syaoran took the pot off the heat again and poured it into a mug. "It's true that we're making a
big influence on you.. but he has to understand that he should let you shape up into the person
you want to be."
"He knows that. He's just to stubborn to admit it. He raised me since my mother died, so he can
get over-protective at times.."
Syaoran sat down and handed Sakura the mug. Sakura took it and drank a little bit. She opened her
eyes as she tasted it.
"Honey milk...." Sakura mumbled. "But..... how did you know making it so perfect? It tastes.. it
tastes like mom's....."
Syaoran blinked. "Well.. I just added honey to milk, that's all..." He looked at her. "I never
would have thought of making it if you never made some for me when I was sick...."
He couldnt help but blush at that moment. Sakura taking care of him... was just........ waaay too
nerve-wracking. He noticed that Sakura began to blush too as she carefully sipped her drink. They
both sat in silence for a while. Sakura changed the subject as they started talking about school.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Later, both of them were back in Syaoran's room. It was 8:00pm, and the sun was setting. At least
that's what you would've seen if there weren't so many clouds. Sakura walked up to the sliding
door and glanced outside. Then looked back at Syaoran. "Can I go outside?"
Syaoran shook his head. "It's too cold outside."
"Onegai.." Sakura pleaded.
Syaoran sighed and handed her a thick jacket, and he grabbed an umbrella. "There are some high
sandals in that corner; you can wear those."
He handed her a thick jacket as he put one on himself. Soon, the two stepped outside. Syaoran
opened the umbrella. There wasnt that much rain anymore. It was just a light drizzle.
"WOOOOOOOOOOOOW!" Sakura squealed as she looked around. "You can see half the city from here! It
probably looks even prettier on a sunny day!"
Syaoran nodded. "It does sometimes, when you're in a good mood."
Silence was held for another few minutes. Then a bright light came from the side. It caught both
of their attention, and Sakura couldn't help but stare in awe. The clouds were parting, and the
sun was almost set. There was still a slight drizzle, causing a rainbow to appear in front of the
sun. It was a faint rainbow, but the view was still quite gorgeous.
Syaoran smiled. It really was pretty. He wasn't a big admirer of art, but even if you were that
type of person, you still would appreciate this greatly.
"My mom told me, before I left Hong Kong... she said that when an unforgettable scene can be
seen, just like a moment like this.... she told me that they should be spent with someone
special."
Sakura turned around and looked at Syaoran. "I'm already spending it with someone special."
Syaoran could only stare in reply. Sakura turned back to the sunset and leaned on Syaoran's
shoulder. "You've done so much for me. I really dont know what I could do to repay you."
Syaoran shook his head. "You don't have to. Just stay healthy and happy."
"I have to. Tell me exactly how you want me to thank you... for protecting me.. looking out for
me... and for taking care of me..."
"I really don't deserve anything....except......"
"Except what?"
Syaoran pulled Sakura into a tight hug. "Except you..."
Syaoran felt Sakura's cheeks heat up again. "You............. because....." he started.
"Because what...?" Sakura softly asked.
"Because I think I'm falling in love with you."

"DAIDOUJI!!" Syaoran screamed. "What's with this get up??!?!? It's a boy's soccer team, not a
girl's dress-up club!!!"
Tomoyo smiled. "It looks great on you! .. But I guess you're right. The outfit seems more for a

of their attention, and Sakura couldn't help but stare in awe. The clouds were parting, and the
sun was almost set. There was still a slight drizzle, causing a rainbow to appear in front of the
sun. It was a faint rainbow, but the view was still quite gorgeous.
Syaoran smiled. It really was pretty. He wasn't a big admirer of art, but even if you were that
type of person, you still would appreciate this greatly.
"My mom told me, before I left Hong Kong... she said that when an unforgettable scene can be
seen, just like a moment like this.... she told me that they should be spent with someone
special."
Sakura turned around and looked at Syaoran. "I'm already spending it with someone special."
Syaoran could only stare in reply. Sakura turned back to the sunset and leaned on Syaoran's
shoulder. "You've done so much for me. I really dont know what I could do to repay you."
Syaoran shook his head. "You don't have to. Just stay healthy and happy."
"I have to. Tell me exactly how you want me to thank you... for protecting me.. looking out for
me... and for taking care of me..."
"I really don't deserve anything....except......"
"Except what?"
Syaoran pulled Sakura into a tight hug. "Except you..."
Syaoran felt Sakura's cheeks heat up again. "You............. because....." he started.
"Because what...?" Sakura softly asked.
"Because I think I'm falling in love with you."
