Cardcaptor Sakura Shorts
Author's Note: Hi again! Thank you for all your reviews on the previous story I posted; this time, I'm writing a series of stories (in order, mind you) of Sakura and Syaoran (as always). I do hope you enjoy them!
PS: They go chapter by chapter, not in one continuous round. That would be very tedious. :)

The Get-Together

A/N: This is how they got together (at least in my story) and basically the start of a relationship. I know, it's a little cliché with the best-friend-into-couple thing but hey, anyone getting tired of it? :P

Rating: K+ (there isn't a make out scene in here, anyway; just the first kiss, which in my opinion, should always be nice and simple :)

Genre: Romance/Humour

And let the reading commence! :D

"Awwh, hell no…"

Teenage heartthrob of Tomoeda High, Syaoran Li had been running through pictures – and showing off – new apps on his brand new iPhone when he'd groaned. His best friend, charmingly beautiful Sakura Kinomoto, looked over at him with an exasperated look on her face.

"Which is it this time? Screen not smooth or not sensitive enough?" she asked him sarcastically.

Syaoran shot her an annoyed look. "I never said not smooth enough," he justified with that know-it-all voice Sakura found all-too-familiar.

"Then what is it?" she asked impatiently.

Abruptly his expression turned from one of annoyance to a funny playful horror. "I don't have any pictures of my girlfriend on my phone," he whined, clearly upset.

"Syao, you don't have a girlfriend," Sakura reminded, taunting him. "You have a crush, of whom you still haven't told me about!" With her finger in the book she had been reading, she hit him on the shoulder with enough force to knock his fancy new phone out of his hand.

Syaoran yelped and managed to catch the phone before it hit the ground. "Watch it!" he exclaimed, then winced as his carefully rotated his shoulder. "And that was my bruised shoulder. Thanks a lot, Saks."

Sakura laughed, sounding like windchimes blowing in the breeze to Syaoran. "Don't worry, if you can feel pain, you're still alive," she giggled, then laughed again as her best friend snorted. "And it's not my fault you didn't take any pictures of your crush," she emphasized.

"All right, all right, she's my crush!" Syaoran finally admitted defeat. "But it's not entirely my fault, you see. She would never let me take pictures of her in the first place!"

Sakura snorted and rolled her eyes before she resumed reading. What Syaoran didn't know was that her heart had begun to beat faster with all the talk about his crush. Oh, Syaoran! she thought, sighing inwardly. Are you so dense you can't see I like you…more than just a best friend?

With her chin propped on her closed fist and resting on her knee, and the sunlight streaming down in golden rays to highlight her auburn hair, it was a photo opportunity Syaoran just couldn't miss. As discreetly as possible, he selected the camera app on his phone and took the shot without Sakura noticing. With the clear screen and excellent colour, Syaoran couldn't help but make it his new wallpaper. If anyone asked, he would say that they were best friends and nothing more – as much as he wanted it to be.

Out of the corner of her clear emerald eyes, Sakura saw Syaoran smirk. "What are you smirking about?" she retorted, and almost delicately plucked the phone out of his hands. When she saw her picture on the home page, she yelped. "You took a picture of me while I wasn't looking?" she exclaimed, surprised and annoyed. "Gosh, Syao, can't you respect a girls privacy?"

She was about to delete it when she realized that her picture was on his homepage. "And what on earth am I doing on your homepage?" she wondered aloud. As hope rose in her, she killed it by saying, "If your crush happens to like you and sees this on your homepage, good luck trying to woo her."

Smoothly, Syaoran said, "Oh, She won't mind. After all, she'll be seeing herself."

Sakura's eyes snapped open. "I…don't know what you're talking about," she said final, returning the phone back to him and turning red. She refused to look him in the eye.

"Oh, yes you do," Syaoran said quietly, and moved closer to her. She looked up and stared into his amber eyes.

"Syaoran…" she began softly, brushing her thumb across his lips. But before she could continue, he pressed his lips to hers. It was everything Sakura had expected her first kiss to be like: soft, sweet and simple.

When Syaoran pulled back, he couldn't wipe the stupid grin off his face. "Hehe," was all he managed, blushing furiously and looking more adorable than ever.

Sakura wasn't doing any better. Her cheeks were scarlet and her lips pulled in and smiling. Then her expression changed. "I suppose you couldn't have said anything earlier!" she said, pretending to be annoyed, and turned away.

"Wha-at…" Syaoran said, smiling as he wound his arm around her waist. "Okay, then. I'm sorry I stole your first kiss. But admit it! It was amazing, right?"

Sakura had to laugh, which had always made Syaoran smile. "Well, then…even though this is like, so cliché…I guess we're together now…right?"

Syaoran had been about to nod when he changed his mind. "No," he said sarcastically. Then he smiled. "Yes, cherry. You're mine now, and I'm yours."

Author's Note: Soooo….whatcha thinkin'? Haha, hope this one was nice – I haven't written a friendly, humorous, light-hearted fanfic yet, I think. It's always been angst and stuffs. But don't worry. If you like that sorta stuff, there's plenty more on the way. All you have to do is be patient :)
