(Thank you for clicking on my Clannad Fanfic, this is my first for the Clannad Anime series. I would like to quickly say that this is going to be a relatively slow moving story, I'm not going to instantly have the flashy events, I want to almost kind of mimic what the anime itself did, it built you up with the characters, and slowly progressed into climatic scenes, giving everything a true sense of reality. So don't expect very many "ooh ahh." Chapters for a while. I'll probably keep writing this no matter how many views/reviews I get, but I do appreciate your guy's opinions. Anyways, Hope you enjoy, Cheers!)
"But I want it."
"But so do I."
"Tomoya... I'm your girlfriend, gimme."
"Tomoyo... I don't want to."
"Gimme the cookie."
"No."
"GIMME THE COOKIE!"
"Fine... This is so out of character for you, you know?"
"I have a weakness for sweets." She almost instantly returned to her quiet self, as she nibbled at the chocolate cookie.
"Yeah, I think I've noticed. So has my wallet." He muttered, he'd just spent 3,000 yen on some chocolates for Tomoyo, to have them gone in under five minutes. "You weren't like this in high school, were you?"
"No, I was. I just didn't show it back then."
"And why do you now?"
"Mm. I realize that you're not going to dump me in fear that you'll forever be alone, so I'm pretty free to do as I please."
"Fear of being alone...? Great, I appreciate that." "Thanks, I appreciate that." He kept muttering
"Lighten up, we're on a bench in the middle of a beautiful park, and here you are drifting off."
"Hey, we've both got college to deal with."
"Classes don't start for another month and a half, stop using that as an excuse."
"It's a legitimate excuse!" He shot back. "Unlike you, I actually didn't have the BEST of grades."
"That's because you spent too much time out and too little time studying."
"And please do tell, WHOM was I out with so much?"
"Your Dad? I don't know." She looked at him innocently.
"Gagh, you're difficult to deal with sometimes Tomoyo."
"That's my job."
"You got that right."
"You want me to slap you?"
"Not in particular, Sunohara's just gotten back from facial reconstruction surgery."
"Hey, he insulted my hair."
"That doesn't give you the right to hit him with metal toed boots."
"Sure it does, you don't insult a girl's hair."
"I wonder what you'd have done had he insulted your clothes." She instantly snapped her attention to him, a fire in her eyes. "H-Hey, I didn't say that he WOULD'VE, I just said I wondered IF, IF IF IF."
"You're very close to ending up like Sunohara-bozu, Tomoya."
"Sigh..."
"What? Is this threatening conversation not keeping your attention?"
"No, I was just wondering why I'm so in love with you, that's all." He looked over at her. "I wouldn't say that we're exactly similar."
"W-What's that supposed to mean?!" She wasn't sure exactly how to react, he said he loved her, but he was wondering why. He either deserved a kiss or a slap. "Meh, it can be a draw. He won't get either this time."
"Ah, forget about it." He seemed to soak up the atmosphere, settling in as if he had just gotten comfortable. "It's nice out here."
"Mm." He'd changed the subject so abruptly, but she really didn't feel like pressing on what he had meant, he was right. It WAS nice. Just them, the rustle of the branches, and the chirping of birds that seemed to always come with a visit to the park. "What do you want to do after this?"
"Don't know, we can go to the new cafe down the street."
"Sounds good to me. It's odd not having some meeting about trying to save those Sakura trees."
"Those meetings ended over a month ago, yet you're still talking about them."
"I guess it's just ingrained in my mind, after all, that was the focal point of my senior year of high school."
"Aw, the focal point wasn't dating me?" Tomoya pretended to look hurt.
"Nope, not at all."
"Harsh.." He thought.
"I'm kidding, of course it was dating you."
"Mhmmmmmm."
"Do I have to prove it to you?"
"Now how would you do tha-" He was interrupted as she leaned over and kissed him.
"Believe me now?" She smiled as she sat back on the bench.
"I'm convinced, that's for sure."
"Good, now let's go to that cafe so you can buy me some coffee."
"I'm not even going to fight it this time, Cappuccino?"
"Mm."
(Aaaaannd there's Chapter 1. I write semi-short chapters, but I write very frequently. I'll be monitoring how this first chapter does over a day or two, my main focus is on my Shugo Chara! story, but expect an update in a few days. Hope you liked it.)
