I Saw You On Facebook
Reijee's Rant: Yok~ I'm a newbie at this, and this is super rookie fanfic, so it's bound to have some mistakes. Review me to help me improve ok? Hope you guys like my style of writing though, xD
Disclaimer: CCS; not mine, Storyline; mine, I thank genius CLAMP for making such wonderful couples, especially Sakura and Syaoran !
22-year-old Daidouji Tomoyo was sitting in a chair, outside a small café in the big city of Tokyo. She sipped her blackcurrant juice, as she typed her reply to her best friend's message in her facebook inbox.
I'm doing fine here Sakura. Thanks for worrying though! Business at my boutique here is running smoothly, and I have lots of new friends. Don't worry, you're always my favourite one! (u0)b Anyways, I want you to also know that I have 2 new workers, and they are H.A.W.T.! I just want to tie them up and play dress up with them! Now, don't go off imagining something wrong dear.. Here are their emails on Facebook , and some 'particulars', just in case you're interested ;D
Dontbothermailingme gmail . com –Li Syaoran, a cold, rich guy, but still works UNDER me, muahaha!
Eli_Moon gmail. com –Hiiragizawa Eriol , Li's cousin,he's… well, a sarcastic romantic mystery! Ehehe….
Oh well, here ends my reply. Come by soon Sakura! So I can finally show you my new line made ESPECIALLY for YOU! Muah~!
p/s: I'm also dating Eriol~ teehee ^/^
Three days later…
When Sakura opened her reply from Tomoyo, her first impression was;
Looooooong
All she asked was a simple 'How are you in Tokyo?' and what she got was that. Well, it's not surprising coming from Tomoyo, even if she seemed like the quiet matured girl.
When she read the reply, she concluded one thing; Her cousin was happy and she's dating an unknown guy without introducing him to me. And that was (almost)fine with her . Though her curiosity got stabbed on (quite a lot) when Tomoyo mentioned those 2 (Hawt…?) workers. So being the curious person she is, she copied the email address and searched.
A week later…
Tomoyo was bored. So bored.
Her darling, Mr. Eriol, was out on a meeting with a customer, and her other worker, Syaoran, is having a day off. Oh well, at least in a couple of hours, Sakura would be here! Yay~!
Tomoyo browsed through her clothing line, smiling as she remembered her favourite cousin visiting her soon. Suddenly, a pair of suited arms snaked around her waist, and a breezy whisper was blowed into her ear.
"What's the big smile for dear, for me, maybe?"
Tomoyo squealed and her ears turned red as she turned around to see her culprit. "Eriol! Welcome back, how was the meeting? And for your question, it's not for you,"
She giggled when she saw his confused face, which then turned into his usual moon smile. "As usual, your designs wow-ed them and you've gotten yourself a new regular dear, thanks to the great –ouch- me." Eriol rubbed his pinched cheek, and continued,
"So, what's that smile for? You're not cheating are you?" His eyes squinted on her, and Tomoyo just laughed it off.
"No, of course not!" While Eriol's arms were tight around her waist, Tomoyo's was linked around his neck.
"My precious, sweet, cutest, beautiful, cousin is coming by later, and staying here for a couple of weeks. You know, the one I've always keep telling you about! "
Oh yeah.. she kept gushing bout that for a whole week non-stop. Eriol just chuckled nervously.
"Yeah.. I remember. So when is she coming by then?"
"Sometime soon. I'm going to get the clothes ready!" Tomoyo escaped from their cuddling, and went to the back of the boutique to find some clothes that she had kept in a separate hanger. Eriol was left standing there confused, and a bit sad that the warmth he had just now had gone.
"What are the clothes for dear?" He asked as he walked over to where Tomoyo was, who was busy finding more clothes around the boutique.
"Why, did you think she'd just come and visit? Sakura has been my favourite model and inspiration for years! I'm not going to waste my chance of her visit and let her try on these wonderful new clothes I made especially for her!"
And that's where Eriol was starting to pity this cousin of hers. And also envy her.
A bit.
Syaoran was busy browsing through his Facebook page, as he waited for his drink inside a café, the same café where Tomoyo begged for his email to send to her cousin a week before. He remembered going to her page once, but he just gave it a look and went to another page. Considering he's got nothing to do now, might as well double-check.
Kinomoto Sakura, 19 years old, born in Tomoeda, Japan, studying in….. Tokyo University?
That intrigued him. Tomoyo said nothing about her going to TU.
Probably a surprise. Syaoran mused. Now.. her picture is decent, not one of those phony edited ones.
He clicked her 'Profile Pictures' album, and watched her pictures one by one. The more he saw them, the more he noticed that she was beautiful, with emerald eyes (his favourite colour), short caramel brown hair (that looked so soft), pink (delicious looking) full lips, and a (creamy white skin) petite figure.
Interested in her more and more, Syaoran went to her wall, and read her posts and comments. All of her status were likely quotes, and Syaoran found most of them likable. Her comments to her friends also seemed friendly, and there was hardly any harsh or rude words said, and all of them were spelled normally.
Her friends were also only a couple of hundreds. Only picking those who you know huh? Nice. Syaoran smirked.
But then he suddenly realized.
Am I a stalker?
Syaoran freezed his actions of browsing more through Sakura's profile on his iPhone, his eyes a bit wide and a look of disbelief was sprawled on his face.
I, the GREAT LI SYAORAN, though is working coughundercough Daidouji Tomoyo, is creeping into a stranger's profile, and stalking her?
Her exited his browser, and face-palmed himself. As he questioned his actions, the waitress that served his drink gave him a weird look, and went back to her work.
Sakura went out of the office building of Tokyo University with a big smile. She finally did it!
Kinomoto Sakura, now a student of Tokyo University, is currently going to surprise her best cousin by going to her boutique an hour earlier and tell her the great news! (though I wish she wouldn't give me The Killer Bear-Hug.) You would wonder why the dense, naïve Sakura who is rivals with Math (cough), is attending this great university?
Well, Sakura found a soft spot for literature, and instead of having an imaginative mind for creating clothes like Tomoyo, she found one for creating fantasy stories. Besides, she's currently one of the top online-novel writers in Japan! Her best-written item was a young girl, catching magical cards with magical creatures such as lion and panthers with her best friend, and also a rival, which she ended falling in love with along the journey of fantasy.
Continuing with her current status, Sakura hummed as she walked along the streets of Shibuya, when she suddenly got hungry. And as fate may have called, she decided on the café where Tomoyo just love to hang out.( Although not knowing there is a certain man sitting inside browsing her Facebook profile. But we'll keep that a secret, won't we? Shhh~) Taking a seat outside, she ordered her food and drinks.
While waiting, she remembered a particular thing that was kept so behind in her mind.
A man named Li Syaoran.
It all started with that letter, and so she checked out the two pages. Of course, Eriol was first. To Sakura, he seemed totally Tomoyo's type. In fact, they looked like a perfect old Victorian era couple; just throw in some frilly clothes of Tomoyo's creation, and some old buildings, they will look perfect.
Imagining them, Sakura got inspired to make another novel, and thanked Tomoyo mentally in her mind. She started making her draft, forgetting all about the other guy, the Li something-something.
Not after half an hour later, after finishing the outlines of her new story in her HTC, Sakura once again remembered the forgotten guy. So she opened his page (not before giggling at his email. A grouchy one, huh? ) , and wasn't surprised to see it was private, except for his pictures.
As she opened his profile pictures album, her face was blushed with the hot fire of red.
H…Handsome.
That was the only thing in her mind. Li Syaoran (R/R: i'm saying too much of his full name _ _") was definitely her type. With unruly brown hair (that probably feels like silk if touched)¸amber eyes (with a sparkle of beautiful gold), and his (strong, lean) tall structure, everything just draws her in. Not to mention, his style of clothing was conservative, yet excludes an appropriate amount of sex appeal at the same time.
And the fact that he wears cardigans and no-lens glasses with headphones in this picture right here just brought out my inner obsession for casual-stylish nerds. Even though I know he's not. Oh well.
When she went back to his page (coughto escape an on-coming nosebleedcough), she went to Eriol's page again, and read some comments that Syaoran makes. Some of them were short, but efficient. Some were rude, probably retorting to any of Eriol's teases (cute cousin? Wha?), but Sakura found them quite amusing. Soon, her thought of him went to one thing;
A great guy who is her best friend's worker and she no relations to what-so-ever, and she would probably never ever know him, or much more, have him.
With a sad sigh, she locked her HTC, and ate her recently arrived order. Almost done with her meal, she sipped her drink, and stopped for a while to read a text message from Tomoyo.
From: Tomo-chan
Can't w8! I've got TONS 4 u 2 dressup 4! And the clothes are ESPECIALLY 4 u! xoxo
Sakura sweated a bit, and smiled nervously. Just as she was about to type in her reply, a sudden impulse inside her brain suddenly told her to raise her head up.
Lo and behold, fate played the strings.
Syaoran was done with his drink, but he lounged around for bit, and then finally decided to go. Just as he stood up, a greeting came out of nowhere.
"Li….Syaoran?"
A colleague of his, Takashi Yamazaki, smiled at him. Syaoran's brain functioned to find who he was, and when he got the right file, he put on his business smile and shook hands with Takashi.
"How are you Takashi-san? It's nice meeting you here," Takashi just smiled back at him, "Fine, as usual. How about you? I heard you're employed in the designing business. That's a surprise,"
Syaoran twitched a bit before he answered, "Yeah.. Same for me, fine. I had to work under Daidouji-san to gain experience, so says my mother. I'll be starting on my own very soon though,"
Takashi chuckled, "That's just how you are Li. Brave and confident, that's what I admire you for man. Oh well, better go. My girlfriend's gonna be mad for leaving her outside for too long. Good day Li," After a pat on the back of Syaoran, Takashi left outside to his girlfriend.
Syaoran followed behind him, and said his greetings when they reached outside. He watched as Takashi jogged to Chiharu, his girl, as he was scolded and pulled by the ear by the said girl. After a few steps forward, a wind suddenly blew from his right, making him turned his head to the left.
What he saw for a split second, was something that was never in his mind.
SAKURA'S POV
So there he is, standing there, watching from afar. I stared at him, ever since he came out of that door. My fingers froze from typing the letters of my reply.
Then he turned, and being me, being shy little me, I avoided it by pretending to type on my phone. Did he caught me staring? Probably not. A strong wind was blowing, it was probably just reflex.
But. Just, a 'but'.
For that one split second. Just that split second of time.
His eyes were surprised, as though he knew me.
He….knows me?
Hah, impossible.
Right?
SYAORAN'S POV
It's her… It's really her, I mean, it's her. Kinomoto Sakura, my boss's cousin who has no relations to me yet I stalked her Facebook page. Awkward.
Though seeing her real, even for just split-second of sight, she was truly, beautiful. The pictures lied to me fully.
Now I'm staring at her, her face was down, staring at her screen while typing a message, probably. Her ears are red though, I wonder why?
A fever? I'd gladly offer a ride. Wait. She doesn't even know me, why would I even help her?
Pftshhhaw..! Just cause she's pretty much my taste and she's looks like an angel, doesn't mean I should be nice to her right?
…..shut up….
But. Just, but.
For that one split second. Just that split second of time.
Her eyes were surprised, as though she knew me.
She….knows me?
Hah, impossible. Cause my profile is private.
Right?
So here Tomoyo was, tears brimming from the corner her eyes, as she saw her dear, beloved, cutest, sweetest, beautiful cousin surprising her by coming an hour earlier and telling the great news of being accepted in TU.
She..she's gonna stay in Tokyo! For a whole 2 years, maybe more! OOoOoh~! This is going to be great! I'm going to come every day to her apartment, dorm, or whatever and I'm going to dress her up until she dies! THEN I CAN DRESS HER UP FOREVER BY FREEZING HER DEAD BODY! …OH GOD. Eriol is right. I am turning psychotic. And those crime shows aren't helping either. But WHAT-eva~!
Sakura is currently turning blue, her life flashing before her eyes, as her great-granny welcoming her in a field of garden.
Yes, she is currently in The Killer Bear-Hug.
Eriol tried to pry Tomoyo off, but the woman seemed to have grown 2 eyes at the back of her head and kicked his family jewels by lifting her legs from behind high as she can.
Let Sakura be killed, she deserves it! Eriol thought menacingly, as he withstand the throbbing pain. Sometimes he wonders why he's even dating a cousin-obsessed woman.
"T…Tomoyo.. If you don't let…me.. go soon.. ugh.. I'm meeting.. great-granny…" As soon as the words were spoken, Tomoyo let her go and apologized, but her hands that was clutching Sakura's upper arm was a new killer move.
The Killer Claw-Clutch. Name decided.
"Oh gosh, Sakura! I'm so so so so so GLAD that you are here! GLAD doesn't even say it! It's OUT OF THIS WORLD! Let's go to the back, I have TONS of new clothes for you to try on, right away! All of the clothes are-"
"Especially made for me/her" It appears Eriol and Sakura are going to be great friends. They just chuckled seeing Tomoyo's confused, and a bit irritated expression.
"Do I really say that line too much?" And the duos gave a positive.
The bell from the door distracted the three, and Syaoran came into view.
All things seemed to stop for Sakura and Syaoran, and Tomoyo and Eriol noticed this. Oh, they sure did.
Eriol coughed to gain their attention back to earth, and his dear tried to hold in her giggle seeing two red tomatos in front of her.
"Syaoran, how nice of you to come by on your free day. I thought you'd be on your bed all day long like you said on the phone yesterday," Eriol teased. The girls giggled and Syaoran was now redder than a tomato, and there was steam coming from his ear. He was angry, not 'embarrassed'! Pfftshaw… The great Li? No wayyyyy.
"Shut up. I was just dropping by to pick up my jacket that I left yesterday..." Syaoran grunted, with his cheeks slowly rising with pink in colour.
"Oh well, at least you're here! Come and meet my cousin Li-san. Her name's Kinomoto Sakura! Oh , and I forgot to introduce you properly to Eriol, here's my darling~," Tomoyo gushed, her eyes sparkling as she dragged a nervously smiled Eriol to her best friend.
Eriol and Sakura shook hands and greeted each other, and she turned to Syaoran.
"Kinomoto Sakura, "
"Li Syaoran,"
I know. They both thought simultaneously. When their hands touched, a spark of electricity flowed through them, and another wave of red came and painted their faces.
Tomoyo, being the dev-cough- I mean, angel she is, dragged her darling and went out of the scene of the two soon-to-be lovebirds. She needed her video camera for this!
An awkward silence followed for 5 minutes after the introduction. Tomoyo was impatient.
Very impatient.
Sakura and Syaoran was just standing there, eyes avoiding each other, fingers finding something to distract with, face flushed red, like those middle-schoolers that were new in dating.
After quite a while, Syaoran faced her, and finally talked.
"So, how is it in Tokyo?" Great Syaoran, great…
"Great! I'm loving it so far. I just ate at a café nearby, I'm thinking of becoming a regular there," IDIOT SAKURA! WHY DID YOU MENTION THE CAFÉ! Dangbatnabbit! Don't I have anything else to talk about?
"Really? I'm a regular, and the food there is great. I went by earlier to have a drink….. ," Relax Syaoran, chill.. take a deep breath.. no need to rush.. WHY THE HELL DID I RUSH THE LAST IMPORTANT PART! WAIT! WHY DID I EVEN MENTION THAT!
"Err.. yeah, that was me.. urm.. I saw you too… and er…" He saw me. He saw me. He saw me. He saw me. He saw me. That was the only thing in Sakura's mind, as her cheeks were tainted with red. Her hands and fingers were playing with the hem of her shirt, her eyes avoiding his and glancing sideways.
Syaoran was just speechless for words. Sakura was too cute, and that's coming from him. Li Syaoran who never calls anything or anyone cute. With all courage he has left in his gut, he asked a simple yet deep question.
"Can I add you as my friend in Facebook?"
3 days later….
Soooo…
Sakura and Syaoran, are not dating. And that doesn't go well for a certain Daidouji. When it doesn't go well for Daidouji, Hiirigizawa would also suffer the consequences. Hiirigizawa is now persuading, begging, his dear cousin, Li, to ask Kinomoto, on a date. How?
Facebook, duh?
"Shut up Eriol! I'll ask her sooner or later! Now stop bugging my work you blue-haired old man!"
"But cousiiiiiiin! She strangles me each time she's reminded Sakura's free every single night!"
"It's only been 3 days! It's too soon!"
"What are you? 79? Ask her no or I'll throw all these signed papers!"
"You wouldn't…."
"I dare so! For my beloved dear and my own life!"
"…ugh! FINE!"
"YOU ARE A LIFE SAVIOUR! I LOVE YOU CUZ! Okay that's… eww.. Anyways, ask her today, or else I'll come back here and do destruction to your office,"
And Hiirigizawa's job of persuading was done. Now it is all up to Li.
Hmph.. It's only been three days! No need to rush. And I'm not old school! Tch..
Syaoran looked at his work. There were stacks of it, and he didn't want Eriol to destroy them, especially the ones he had finished. Guess he'd better do it. Yep. He'd do it.
He's doing it. Oh yeahhh, his iPhone is in his hands now.
Almost there, almost pushing it. Almost pushing her number.
Almost…. Almost….. Oh f*** it all.
I'LL SHOW YOU WHO'S OLD SCHOOL! ARGH!
(request sent)
"TOMOYO!"
Sakura rushed down the stairs of Tomoyo's mansion in Tokyo, with her face as red as a kettle.
"Wha? What is it?"
"Syaoran… he…he…"
"What what?"
Not being able to say any understandable words, Sakura just shoved her HTC into Tomoyo's face.
Soon, she was caught by The Killer Bear-Hug. Followed by the newly named Shrilly Squeal of Deaf.
Li Syaoran asked to be in a relationship with you.
