Room 401
This is my first attempt at writing fanfiction for Tsubasa, so I hope it's adequate XD I suppose this is a bit of KuroFai if you are looking for it, but definitely Syaoran x Sakura.
Room 401 x 401 words x Prompt - Hospital
'Ah, Syaoran-sensei!'
The brown-haired young man stared wearily at the beaming blond as he stepped out of Room 401. 'Fai.' Syaoran's hands were clenched into fists with white knuckles, his fingernails digging into his palm. 'How are you?' He tried to smile back, but Fai shook his head.
'You don't have to smile if you don't want to, Syaoran-kun,' he said, the smile on his own face as wide as ever as he defected to more informal appellation. The two started their walk down the hospital hall, their usual routine after work was ended. 'How is Sakura-hime doing?' he asked conversationally, though Syaoran could hear the worry in Fai's voice.
Syaoran sighed, both at how easily Fai had adopted this nickname for Syaoran's sleeping beauty, even though one was not supposed to get emotionally attached to patients, and at the fact that Sakura was still, indeed, a sleeping beauty and not an awake one. He said nothing, letting the steady sounds of his feet hitting the floor speak for themselves.
'No good then?' Fai said, smile dropping just a bit. 'It'll work out. I'm sure of it, Syaoran-kun. You are the best person to help her; even Yuuko-chan says so. And you know how she is with praise when there isn't anything she can gain from it.' And then the smile was completely gone. 'You know, Syaoran-kun, there are always some cases that can't-'
'No,' Syaoran interrupted, fists shaking at his side. 'Please, don't say it.'
Fai nodded with a melancholy countenance, but then he plastered a grin on his face. 'Well, I'm sure some dinner would cheer you and me up. I definitely need some cheering up now - Yuuko-chan was threatening to lower my pay.' He pulled out a cell phone and started dialling. 'I'm sure that tou-chan would be willing to cook up something now for us, hm?'
Syaoran couldn't help but smile as Fai pressed 'call', and he relaxed, his fists unclenching.
And as Fai teased Kurogane over the phone, Syaoran glanced back through the hall to Room 401, where one sleeping princess lay quietly, and promised that he would wake her up, no matter what, and save her from the amnesia that claimed her, save her from all that plagued her.
Because even if Sakura wouldn't remember Syaoran when - and not if - she woke up, Syaoran could never forget Sakura, even if he tried.
