YOU'VE MET YOUR MATCH
Tomoyo was walking home silently from her latest singing lesson, glaring apprehensively up at the dark clouds forming above. A big storm was coming, and she still had a long ways to go to get to her house! That really couldn't be good.
She was dressed in a pair of baggy black jeans and a tight dark purple shirt that matched her eyes. It was sleeveless and showed some of her stomach.. Tomoyo didn't have a jacket or an umbrella, which meant she was going to be VERY cold on the way home if it started to rain.
As if reading her thoughts, she felt a small raindrop land on her bare shoulder, and then another on her nose. Slowly they began to fall just a bit faster.
"Figures." Tomoyo said calmly to herself, brushing black strands of hair off her shoulders and blinking against the light drizzle of rain that was already falling. About ten more minutes to get to her house...... and the rain was already getting harder. Great.
"Tomoyo?" A voice called from nearby, snapping her out of her thoughts. The girl immediately looked over, noticing Eriol was standing by the gate to his house. She had almost passed by completely without even realizing! Her handsome friend was dressed in blue jeans and a loose-fitting black dress shirt with the cuffs rolled up to his elbows and the collar left unbuttoned. Recently he had gotten contacts, so he no longer wore those glasses he had as a kid. Tomoyo sighed in relief at seeing him as she turned to face him completely.
"Hi Eriol! How've you been?"
"Better then you, obviously," he answered in his regular deep voice, flashing her a charming smile. Then he gently grabbed her arm, leading her towards his house. "Come on in and get out of the rain. You're not going to make it home easily in this weather."
Tomoyo happily obliged, walking into his mansion with him just as the rain began to beat harder. She could hear the storm against the windows of Eriol's house as he led her to the kitchen and offered her a cup of hot tea and a towel. Tomoyo grinned and happily took them, drying off her wet skin and taking a sip of the warm drink in her hands. Then she glanced over at Eriol, who was staring at her for some reason. Oh well.
"So, looks like we're both stuck in here until the storm blows over," She said with a smile, setting down the tea and turning to him, "Any ideas of what to do?"
Eriol kept his regular cool as usual, head bent to one side as he tried to think of something. Absent-mindedly they both walked into his nearby office area and took seats in the big soft chairs. It was a small room with one desk in the center and only two chairs. Tomoyo looked around slowly, surprised at the silence that had taken over the large house.
"Where's Nakuru and Spinel?" She asked, surprised she hadn't seen them running around or Nakuru cooking up her regular goodies in the kitchen. Eriol snapped out of his thoughts and grinned.
"Nakuru went shopping with Touya and Yukito, and brought Spinel along so him and Kero could play video games at Sakura's. They probably won't be back until night."
Tomoyo smiled and shook her head, leaning back into the chair. "Sakura's house, eh? And how much do you want to bet Sakura is with Syaoran......?"
Eriol laughed, his blue eyes twinkling. "Yes, it seems that after our little 'trick' they've been more open with each other, ne?"
Tomoyo grinned mischievously, remembering the times when her and Eriol had gotten together to trick Syaoran and Sakura into telling each other that they were in love. The last time, she and Eriol had called up both Syaoran and Sakura and said to meet them at 8:00 in the park. When they both arrived, they saw each other instead of Tomoyo or Eriol and knew immediately it had been a trick. But then Eriol had made the park turn into a maze, and Sakura and Syaoran hadn't been able to get out until they finally confessed to the other. It had taken awhile, but they had finally done it. Tomoyo's grin grew wider at the memory of their faces when they saw Eriol laughing and Tomoyo with her camcorder, taping their first kiss.
"Truth or Dare!" Eriol suddenly said, snapping Tomoyo out of the memories. She blinked.
"Wh-what? Truth or Dare?"
Eriol smiled, a sly glint in his eyes. "Yes, we can play Truth or Dare until the storm passes over. How does that sound to you, Tomoyo?"
The girl automatically caught the glint in his eyes and replied to it with a smirk of her own. The two tricksters in a game of tricks against each other? That could be interesting. "What are your rules?"
"Simple," he replied with a grin, "We play until someone refuses to either do one of the dares or answer one of the truths. You can't ask for a truth more then three times in a row."
Tomoyo nodded, her gaze drifting towards the window where the rain was still beating hard outside. Then she turned to him again and nodded, a competitive gleam in her eyes. "You're on..... as long as I get to go first!"
Eriol smirked and nodded, waiting for her to go.
"Truth or Dare?"
"Truth," he replied, leaning back smugly in his chair. Tomoyo nodded, her violet eye's clouding slightly as she thought of a question.
"What's the most embarrassing thing you've ever done?"
Eriol laughed, though Tomoyo noticed his cheeks grow slightly pink.
"Well, that one's pretty easy. The most embarrassing thing I've ever done is walk into a room with only a towel on when Nakuru had Touya and Yukito over."
Tomoyo immediately burst into giggles, imagining Touya and Yukito's faces as Eriol walked in. She barely even heard Eriol ask "Truth or Dare?"
"Truth." she replied, trying to calm her giggles. Eriol smirked.
"Is it true you used to love Sakura more then a friend?"
The girl in front of him instantly stopped laughing, her face growing neutral even though Eriol could see the flash of pain that swept through her eyes at the memory. He was sorry for hurting her, but it had been a question he was meaning to ask. Even though he knew the answer. He'd always known then, but lately he couldn't tell.
"Used to," Tomoyo replied in a dark voice, her violet eyes flashing angrily. Yes, she used to love Sakura that way...... but over the years the love had just fallen back to friendship, and things were comfortable that way. Even so, the memory of how she used to think of Sakura usually got her down.
Satisfied, Eriol sat back, answering Tomoyo's question of Truth or Dare with a "Dare". The girl smirked, pulling out of her memories as evil thoughts whirled through her head.
"I dare you...." she began, thinking hard a way to pay Eriol back for his previous question, "to switch outfits with me!"
Eriol looked surprised for a couple seconds, then noticed the sly grin on her face and leaned forward until his elbows were propped on the desk. He looked her up and down, examining her clothes.
"Nice dare hun.... but I don't think that shirt of yours will fit."
The competitive look was back on her face as Tomoyo replied, "Well, then I guess you won't be WEARING a shirt, will you?"
A stubborn competitive flare flashed in Eriol's face as well. "Fine."
* * * * * * *
(Five minutes later.....)
Tomoyo and Eriol were both sitting back in the room, the wind still pounding against the window outside. Now Eriol was wearing black baggy jeans that surprisingly fit him well and didn't look bad at all. Tomoyo also had on different clothes..... the baggy blue jeans and loose-fitting black shirt Eriol had been wearing earlier. The collar was still unbuttoned, but the cuffs were now down to her wrists instead of rolled up to the elbow. What amused both of them was that neither of them looked too bad......
Tomoyo forced herself to look away from Eriol, who had no shirt on at all. Not that he looked bad without a shirt on. Quite the contrary. She just didn't think she could talk if she stared at him. So she made sure that her eyes stayed on his. They stared at each other for the longest time, totally silent. Then, as if on que, they both started to laugh. It was weird..... seeing someone else in your own clothes. After awhile Tomoyo managed to stop, turning back to the young man across the desk. A sneer twisted her lips.
"Go Eriol."
Eriol met her challenging eyes. "Truth or Dare?"
"Truth" She replied without a second thought. An evil smile appeared on Eriol's face.
"Is it true that you've never been kissed before Daidouji?"
Tomoyo turned bright red and nodded, refusing to meet Eriol's gaze. She only looked away as she stuttered, "T-truth or Dare?"
"Truth," he said calmly, his usual charming smile on his face once more. But now his cold eyes were narrowed in anticipation of the game.
"Have you ever actually fallen in love with anyone?"
Eriol, the usually cool and calm guy across from her, flinched visibly. As he leaned back against the chair, bare skin rubbing against leather, he seemed to look shaken. But then his mask was on again, orderly and sensible. Still, he couldn't talk. All he could do was nod.
"Oh, who is it?!" Tomoyo asked, her violet eyes shining. She was always interested in those sorts of things. Eriol had to muster all his self-control to paste a smirk on his face and shake his head.
"No, Tomoyo, I already answered your question. You can't ask another."
'But I want to tell you,' he thought to himself, hiding a trembling hand from her view as he looked towards the window as if checking the progress of the storm. (it was still really dark and the rain was pounding against the window) Oh, but he wanted to do more then tell her. He wanted her. He wanted to call her his. Oh, and he wanted SO much just to hold her against the desk in front of him and kiss her until the room spun. It was taking every bit of his self control not to. Even just the fact that she was in HIS clothes and he only had jeans on sent chills going up his back. God, did she even know what she was doing to him?!
"Truth or Dare Tomoyo?" He asked, taking a deep breath while maintaining his calm composure on the outside.
"Truth," she answered automatically, obviously wary to take one of Hiiragizawa's dares. The young man grinned.
"Did you ever fall in love with anyone besides Sakura?"
Tomoyo paused for a second, thinking. If you had asked her this a year ago, she would have shaken her head instantly, sating that Sakura was the only one she had ever loved. But lately..... she had felt something that she had used to feel when she was around Sakura. Something that could possibly be love...... whenever she saw-
"I-I think so," she replied, interrupting her own thoughts with her answer.
"Is that supposed to be an answer?" Eriol said with a laugh. Tomoyo just shrugged, looking slightly confused.
"Well, I don't know...... it's hard to tell when you're in love sometimes Eriol. I just don't know."
From across the desk Eriol nodded, his soft smile knowing. Then he smiled, answering Tomoyo's unspoken question. "Dare."
Tomoyo went silent, thinking hard of a way to embarrass Eriol..... or get him to lose their little game. Her eye's fell on his chest once again but instead of trembling all over and losing her train of thought, this time a plan entered her mind. An evil plan. The young woman grinned slyly, meeting Eriol's gaze. He immediately got nervous, though he tried not to show it.
"I dare you to......"
