To See You Again
Pale fingers ran across the keys of the piano and ended the piece with a gentle touch. Standing up, 17 year old Tomoyo Daidouji closed the oak cover of the piano as she made her way to the misty windows, staring out. The morning breeze blew in as the leaves rustled in the rays. Her amethyst eyes scanned the quiet streets when she stopped.
A familiar blue-haired boy came into view, strolling down the deserted crowd of Tomoeda.
Tomoyo rubbed her eyes as she glanced once more. It couldn't be…
Eriol Hiiragizawa?
'I thought he was in England?' Tomoyo thought as her hands gripped the grills, eyes settling on the figure walking down the streets. She watched as he stopped in his tracks and looked about.
'Still with the same brilliant instincts,' Tomoyo thought as her eyes continued to fix on Eriol when he glanced up.
The usual dark azure eyes staring right into her amethyst ones…
Then he smiled.
Tomoyo waved and smiled back as she exited the front door to meet up with her old friend…But she couldn't help wondering why his smile was no longer as cheerful as ever, how come his smile held a sorrowful expression…
"I see you noticed me." Eriol Hiiragizawa beamed as he walked alongside with Tomoyo Daidouji. Tomoyo smiled, "I just happened to see you walk by. When did you come back anyway?" "Just yesterday." Eriol replied. "Why?" Tomoyo asked.
Eriol cocked an eyebrow in amusement, "Why? Must there be a reason when I return to Tomoeda?" Tomoyo smiled, "Sort of. You always have a reason as to why you come to Tomoeda." Eriol chuckled, placing his hands at his back, "So will you believe the reason if I came back just to see how things are?" Tomoyo smiled, "Maybe."
"It's been a long while, Daidouji-san. Tell me how things are going." Eriol said, gazing down at her. Tomoyo smiled, "Things are going smoothly. Li-san and Sakura-san are engaged to each other already." Eriol's eyes twinkled, "Really? That's great then." Tomoyo giggled, "We used to matchmake them together, do you remember, Hiiragizawa-san?"
Eriol grinned, "Of course I do remember, Daidouji-san. Those were the wonderful times the four of us had great fun together." Tomoyo nodded, "How's Nakuru-san and Spinel?" Eriol's eyes crinkled, "We've moved back to our old manor back at Tomoeda. They're there unpacking our things." Tomoyo giggled, "Then I bet the house will be in a huge mess." Eriol chuckled.
"How's Mizuki-sensei?" Tomoyo queried but stopped as she noticed Eriol's smile vanished instantly.
'Did I asked the wrong question?' Tomoyo wondered.
"Hiiragizawa-san, are you ok? I'm sorry. You don't have to answer that question if you don't wish to." Tomoyo said. Eriol tried a smile, shaking his head, "Everything's fine. It's just that…we broke up, that's all." Tomoyo paused, "I'm sorry." Eriol shook his head, "Don't be, Daidouji-san."
"Will it be ok if I ask you what happened?" Tomoyo asked. Eriol nodded, "What do you want to know?" Tomoyo stared at her feet as it trudged along the pathway, "…I thought things were always going well between you two?" Eriol shook his head, "Not anymore. We began to drift apart then…I didn't know why. We just couldn't talk anymore like we used to. We no longer went on our normal morning strolls, we no longer poured our problems to each other like we used to."
Eriol bowed down his head, tresses hanging over his dark eyes as he placed his hands in his pockets, "…Things changed, I realized." Tomoyo squeezed his hand reassuringly, "But everything's going fine now, isn't it?" Eriol smiled faintly, "I hope so."
Eriol stared to the skies, "And then there was Angeline." Tomoyo cocked an eyebrow, "Who?" Eriol shrugged, "…A friend of mine. She came after Kaho left."
Silence.
"You fell for her?" Tomoyo asked.
Eriol shrugged, "I'm not sure. But it was obvious she likes me a lot." "Do you?" Tomoyo tried again. Eriol hung down his head, "I…I don't know. I met her in England at that time when Kaho and I broke up. She…tried to cheer me up. She's really nice."
"And you left her?" Tomoyo asked.
"…I don't know. I think….I think I was falling for her…" Eriol gazed up to the skies again, "But she went back to her first boyfriend…" Tomoyo's eyes softened, "…So now you're afraid?" Eriol looked at Tomoyo, "Afraid?" Tomoyo nodded, "Afraid of falling in love. You're scared, isn't it?" Eriol bit his lips, "I don't know."
Tomoyo smiled softly as she gave Eriol's hand a gentle squeeze, "Cheer up, you know. Sometimes, love hurts. But one day, you'll finally find that someone whom will be with you no matter what." Eriol smiled, "Thanks, Daidouji-san." Tomoyo giggled, "You can call me Tomoyo now. We've known each other for a long time now." Eriol laughed as he put his hands behind his head, "We do know each other for a long time now, ne, Tomoyo-san? I guess it's been 6 years now."
Tomoyo beamed, "I'm glad you remembered." Eriol looked amused, "Why won't I? I used to sit behind you in class during 5th Grade." Tomoyo giggled, "I remember." Eriol chuckled, "You were one naughty lass, though." Tomoyo cocked an eyebrow, "When was I ever naughty, Eriol-san?" Eriol's eyes crinkled with mischieve, "I remembered you tried to copy the spelling work under your desk because you forgot to learn, ne?"
Tomoyo gaped, "That did not happened!" Eriol laughed, "That did! And then you got full marks for your spelling and got praised in class, remember?" Tomoyo shook her head, "I did not do that! That never happened!" Eriol snickered, "Hey, cool the panic, Tomoyo-san. April's Fool!" Eriol joked as he received a playful swat in return. Tomoyo pouted, "That is not funny, Eriol-san!"
Eriol laughed, "Hey, chill! This month is the April! It's normal for jokes to crack around like that!" Tomoyo frowned but couldn't help smiling after that, "Fine, I will let you off today! But I won't get trick so easily now!"
Eriol's mouth twitched with mischief, "We'll see, Tomoyo!"
~
Eriol narrowed his eyes towards a certain direction where a harmonious tune was coming from. Piano melody. He quickly hastened his pace and came face to face with the music room door. Definitely the music was coming from here. He turned the knob and pushed the door slightly and peered in, revealing someone playing the grand piano, her long dark tresses flowing down her shoulders.
Eriol adjusted his glasses…It was really hard to see since the person wasn't looking straight at him.
He then paused.
Tomoyo-san?
He took a step forward and breathed. It was indeed Tomoyo Daidouji, head bent over the ivory keys, playing the melodious tune out. Eriol smiled as the tune finally came to an end. Tomoyo lifted up her head and smiled, "Hello, Eriol-san." Eriol applauded, beaming, "That was a very wonderful melody, Tomoyo-san. Since when do you learn how to play?"
Tomoyo giggled as she stood up, "Your playing on the piano really left me fascinated. When you left for England five years ago, I took up the courses." Eriol smiled, "You do learn well. What was the melody called?" " 'Tomorrow's Promise'." Tomoyo answered, smiling, "Can you play me a song, Eriol-san? I would really like to hear one from you." Eriol bowed, smiling, "It'll be my pleasure."
Tomoyo smiled as Eriol took his seat down on the piano and ran his fingers over the keys, the entrancing notes beautifying the surroundings.
"Eriol?" Tomoyo asked when he played the last note of the piece. Eriol turned around and stood up, "What is it, Tomoyo-san?" Tomoyo smiled, "Can you maybe one day teach me that piece? It's really beautiful." Eriol beamed, "It's called 'Love's First Smile'. And sure, I can teach you if you want." Tomoyo nodded enthusiastically, "Will it be no trouble?"
Eriol chuckled, "No trouble at all, Tomoyo-san. It just makes me smile how excited you can be." Tomoyo giggled as she settled down at the seat, looking up at Eriol, "Can you teach me now?" Eriol laughed heartily, "You sure is looking forward to it, ne?" Eriol smiled, "But wait here, I'll get the piece. I remembered giving it to Reda-sensei once. I think she kept it somewhere…" Eriol searched the cupboard as he pulled out the score sheets, "Gotcha!" Tomoyo giggled, "Great!"
Eriol smiled as he settled the sheets down on the piano stand. "You can sit down beside me." Tomoyo said, smiling, as she pointed to the space next to her on the piano bench. Eriol chuckled as he did as he was told, "You're really happy today, Tomoyo, ne?" Tomoyo laughed, "Because I'm having a professional pianist to teach me how to play a wonderful piece!" Eriol shook his head, beaming, "I'm not that good."
"Oh yes you are!" Tomoyo gushed, "I saw you playing once for Tomoeda's concert! It was wonderful!" She then shook her head, "Not wonderful, it was brilliant! Didn't you see the audience cheering and one of them even came up to give you a bouquet of roses? You were so brilliant, Eriol!" Eriol laughed, "Please, Tomoyo. I'm going to get really embarassed if you continue those words."
Tomoyo giggled, "Ok then, Eriol. Can you teach me now?" Eriol chuckled as he placed his fingers over Tomoyo's, "We'll play it through once together first, ok? Then we'll go on slowly, get it?" Tomoyo beamed and nodded as the same beautiful melody entranced the room instantly.
D…F#…A… Tomoyo's eyes scanned the score sheet as Eriol guided her fingers through Love's First Smile. A…E…A…The song ended as Eriol applauded, beaming, "That was wonderful, Tomoyo!" Tomoyo giggled, "That's actually you who was doing wonderful." Eriol chuckled, "Now you'll play on your own. Will that be ok with you?" Tomoyo nodded, "I guess I can."
The song started and ended beautiful on its correct notes as Eriol clapped, "That was brilliant, Tomoyo! You learnt fast!" Tomoyo giggled, "But it couldn't be without your help. Thank you." Eriol smiled, "I have a favor to ask you, Tomoyo." Tomoyo arched an eyebrow, "Which is?" "Would you mind if I borrow the score sheets of Tomorrow's Promise from you?" Tomoyo shook her head, "Jolly not!"
She opened her bag and pulled out four sheets of papers, "Here! I have it with me now!" Eriol beamed and accepted it, "Thank you." Tomoyo giggled, "I don't have to teach you, right? You're a clever pianist, Eriol." Eriol laughed, "Well, if I am having trouble, it will be no trouble if I come and find help from you?" Tomoyo shook her head and smiled, "Nope!"
Eriol smiled, "Thank you, Tomoyo. I'm having a fine day today with you." Tomoyo smiled back, "Thank you, too, Eriol. I'm having a very, very wonderful day today."
Eriol chuckled as he placed his fingers over the piano keys and started to play Love's First Smile again, letting Tomoyo watched intently over his playing, occasionally saying things here and there, crackling both of them up into laughter…
Eriol smiled as he ended his piece, gazing at Tomoyo.
It was weird how Tomoyo had quickly flown from a normal friend to a great friend to have…
Your best friend? Eriol asked himself.
He beamed softly as Tomoyo started to play her piece again.
'Definitely…'
