Hello there!!! This fic is written only in Eriol's POV! Hope u find it intresting!!!
Enjoy the fic!
Chapter 1Being one of the most powerful mages in the world and the reincarnation of the famous Clow Reed, I could not explain what I felt deep inside by stubborn heart when spotting a particular young lady. Even though at first it was never this way. Both of us were only good friends.
At the beginning I was happy and content in finding my match, a lady that kept me company despite my awkwardness. Long distance relationship never did bother us both and so did our age difference. What I felt was true, but some concepts must have changed.
To help Sakura in becoming the next mistress of the Clow Cards I had joined her school. What I thought to be an easy task soon became complex. Not only were Sakura's magic powerful but her friend, Tomoyo Daidouji, became an obstacle as well.
Such a watchful eye she had. Always understanding the unknown and picking up pieces to the jigsaw that was meant to be unsolved. I had to be cautious around her and sometimes I did have my speculations that Tomoyo might have known my whole secret.
We soon became friends, how could I not when Sakura was her best friend, besides something about her lured me to understand that mystic person she proved to be. Witty and intelligent Tomoyo was. I was amused at how unique this young lady was. She was different in every way, to the tiniest eyelashes until the tip of her toe. Such an intriguing figure that at first nothing came to be suspected, but that would soon change when my heart had given its first leap.
It all started at music class when Ms. Midori called the attention of everyone in class. She was smiling wider than usual when she gushed to the students that our school was having a musical contest. Everyone had immediately begun to chitchat about such news.
I couldn't help but smile when hearing Tomoyo's friends convincing the raven-haired girl to sing. I had no doubt that Tomoyo possessed one of the most angelic voice I had ever heard. I did not question her talent in singing, since I have witnessed such blissful melody coming out of her voice.
My trains of thoughts were broken when Sakura had spoken, "Eriol could play the piano while you sing Tomoyo! You both would make such a great pair. Surely you'll win the contest!"
Tomoyo only shock her head in protest, " Eriol, a great pianist wouldn't dare join my group."
"Don't be modest Tomoyo, of course I would like to join in. It is I that would think that a talented singer like you would not accept me to play."
"So it is settled. Tomoyo Daidouji and Eriol Hiiragizawa will be our chosen group for the musical contest!" spoke the teacher in delight while everyone cheered in agreement.
The rules were that every grade would have a group to participate in the contest. They had exactly one month to prepare themselves and be ready to present in the auditorium, at a festival held by Tomoeda School, opened to anyone who would like to come on a Saturday afternoon.
Responsible and determined, Tomoyo had scheduled the days of our practices, where Ms. Midori had given us both permission to use the music room for our sessions, since we were the only group that needed the piano. The other instruments could be easily taken away and handed back later. Although we both owned a piano at home, we both best agreed that it was easier to meet after school in the music room on every Monday, Wednesday and Fridays.
............................................................................ ...................................................................
I was 5 minutes late for our first practice, due to the fact that the Clow Card had taken a good amount of time to be transformed into a Sakura Card. Opening the door to the classroom, I found Tomoyo sitting on top of a desk, while flipping pages of a musical book.
She smiled when I entered and quickly jumped down from her spot.
"Sorry I'm late." I spoke, while settling my bag down onto the floor.
"No worries. I've only just begun to chose our song for the contest." she explained while approaching me with the book on hand.
I neared up a bit to look down at the chosen selection and couldn't help to notice how sweet she smelled.
"So what do you think?" she questioned curiously and hoping for an approval.
"It's perfect." I replied with a smile while receiving a smile back from her as well.
So we had our song called 'Honey,' a very soft and sweet music that matched with Tomoyo perfectly. We began the first few lines at first, since we both did not know exactly the whole song, and having to adjust with the high note keys as well as the low ones. We tested Tomoyo's capacity of reaching the notes and she could do every single one of them without any problems.
I was impressed and could not see any difficulties ahead. I played while she sat next to me singing. I noticed how she would close her eyes and hold her hands together near her chest, while she sang, always with a genuine smile on her face.
"Is that a habit?" I asked when I finished playing the first few lines we had deal to start by with.
Tomoyo reopened her eyes and nodded. "Yes. It makes me feel more comfortable." she admitted with a soft blush.
I smiled to that adorable face as we continued to practice once again.
............................................................................ ...................................................................
A week had passed since our first session and things were getting better in a quick pace. Both of us had no difficulties with our parts, and so we had quickly reached the last few lines of the song.
It was Wednesday after school when I reached the empty classroom.
Awkward. Tomoyo was never late. I was beginning to worry, even though the possibility of being nothing serious was greater than a major accident. I couldn't help but to feel unease that the raven-haired beauty had not arrived yet. Even though I paced around the music room waiting, it did not ease my worrisome and so I decided to sit down and play the piano.
I played the song once, twice, and no sign of her. After half an hour the door finally opened to reveal the young lady tired from a long run.
I stood up and approached her worried. "What happened?"
She looked up and smiled while still catching her breath, "Sorry I'm late but I had to take Sakura to the infirmary, since she had a rough landing when going up the pyramid of girls during cheerleading practice."
I took her bag and left it aside, while picking a glass of water and handing it to the girl.
"You got me worried Tomoyo." I spoke, while watching her drink her water.
"I'm sorry." she apologized again. "I should have told you."
"It's alright." I assured, "So ready for some music?"
Tomoyo laughed, "Sure."
So while I played and she sang I came to realize how different my reaction was towards the events that just happened. I couldn't understand how I could be so worried with a girl that I knew for a couple of months. For only 30 minutes I could not help but to feel fear for that young lady. A young lady that I have come to care for and realize how beautiful her red lips moved as she sang.
I analyzed her figure that shared a seat beside me. Her long raven hair cascaded down her back, and curled up in the end. Her pale and fair skin matched her amethyst eyes, that I knew glowed with life the minuet she reopened to meet my gaze. I began to see my friend as a fallen angel and forgotten about Kaho so easily when I spent my days with this lady. I had no answers for my strange feelings and had no wish to obtain an answer any time soon.
