What I like about You

Author: Blossomed X


Summary: "So what if I, Syaoran Li, am in love? Why is it such a big deal?!" My friends stared at me as if I was on drugs. "Oh, I don't know. Maybe it's because you're in love with YOUR BEST FRIEND!"
'Aw crud,' were the exact few phrases that kept repeating over and over across my mind. Wouldn't you if you were in the same position I was in? No, not literally. Okay, let's just switch for a moment-

I'm (I mean you) 18, sitting across a rug which is making my soon-to-be-bloody bottom sore while the girls are sitting on the couches, not willing to share one ounce of space for the men. I have amber eyes and chestnut-colored hair, and I am fit and I need you-OI! STOP LOOKING DOWN THERE! Anywho, I am near my best friend in the whole wide world who I have had feelings for since I was a kid. We tell each other everything (even though a boy and a girl never tell each other everything), and right now, in the world of Truth or Dare, everyone will know everything about you until you are forced to say dare.

And of course, being the heir of the Li clan, I/you have too much pride to do some grotesque dare that may ruin your reputation, even though we swore on a sacred oath that what goes on in the circle, stays in the circle. Again, please note that I have too much pride.

Any who, back to the whole 'if you were in my position' horrific ordeal.

'Truth or Dare' VS 'Syaoran Li'

"Well Li, do you love Tomoyo or not?" You remain quiet, my mouth opening and closing on wondering what to say and whether or not it is the right answer. You have to come up with a retort and fast. Oh God, please help me in an utter attempt to discreet my humiliation and I promise I will help out in the church bake sales. No you idiot! Don't pray!

"Aw come on guys, don't pressure him. He's with Tomoyo, so it's obvious what his feelings for her are!" Sakura interrupted. I sigh in relief, deciding on whether or not to either hug her or kiss her for the save. Well God, I guess I don't have to help you out after all. I give a triumphant smirk. Pfft! Like I was going to anyway.

"But Sa-ku-ra! Doesn't mean you're with someone doesn't mean that you actually have feelings for them!" Everyone nodded at Eriol's remarks. "I mean, there are the 'I dare you' relationship, the 'Popularity' relationship, the 'I crush on you' relationship, the 'Puppy love' relationship, and then finally, the 'Love' relationship." He sighed dreamily at the last one. I swear on YOUR grave that he's gay. He counted them all with his fingers and held them up for all to see. "Now all Syaoran have to do is pick one and the turn is done! It's that easy!"

Suddenly, their face dimmed an eerie gray. "Unless…You already know the answer to the question, hm?" They crawled up to Sakura, leaving her no space as she was circled by Mei Lin, Ryu, Eriol, Yamazaki, Chiharu, and Tomoyo. In other words, the whole circle (excluding me) was now out to get her. Dang it! God sure has some way to punish a guy.

I gulped, sensing her uneasiness and came up with a quick decision for Sakura's sake. "All right, I'll tell you!" You and I blurt out. What the? No you idiot! Why did you-?! Argh! They rushed over to me as I stumbled over to my back. Great, my ass AND my back. Te-riffic. "But only-" I got up. "But only if the guys stay here, not the girls." They all groaned but to get an answer from me, they agreed to respect my wishes. They even promised them not to tell anyone. God, they were desperate as hell. Okay, this is the part where you get out of my body and-I SAID TO STOP LOOKING DOWN THERE!

I sat back down in the floor after locking the girls up in the kitchen (ignoring their threats and bloodied clawing), and lowered my voice just in case they were planning to eavesdrop (Most definitely Mei Lin).

"All right, I admit it: I have no feelings whatsoever for Daidouji." I confessed. They all smirked except for Eriol who accidentally let out a triumphant "Yes!" before being pulled back down by his shirt tail. "But I do have feelings for someone, ok? And I would very much appreciate it if you guys respect my wishes and not poke around in my business to find out who-"

"It's Sakura." They said in unison in a matter-of-fact tone.

"Yeah." I snapped to realization of what I just said out loud and closed my mouth shut with my hands as they smirked at my confession. "W-what? H-hey! How do you know?!" Seriously, they aren't that very good when it comes to using their brains. Heck, they can't even figure out a few problems of long division even if there was a chart there to help them! And even then they would still need to use a calculator.

"It's obvious, you know?" Yamazaki commented. "You always blush around her like a buffoon; you like holding her, talking to her; you always smile around her even though you've just went through hell and back a GAZILLION times and not to mention that last year you even went to the extent of-"

"Ok, ok! I get it!" I cut off. No need for him to tell the other guys what I did in the Nadeshiko Fair. I was with her the whole time playing a ton of games that had Sakura's favorite stuffed animal. I lowered my head in shame and embarrassment. "Has it been that distinctive?" I whispered.

"To us, yes. To Sakura, no." I smiled grimly. True, Sakura was completely dense when it comes to feelings. Practically the whole male population was kissing the floor she walked on and she never even saw it until she slipped on the trail of saliva that followed her from all the ground-smooches.

"You know Syaoran, as your friend, you must know that even Tomoyo is beginning to notice." Eriol said seriously. He was always serious when it comes to Tomoyo. That man was in love with her more than a fat man in love with cake. However, despite the flowers giving and the date asking, the fortunate ties came over to Li when Tomoyo confessed her feelings for him, which he has never returned. He just replied "uhh…yes" following after her "I love you, will you be my boyfriend?" speech.

"Eriol, why can't you just say that you love her? Everything might go smoother if you do so." Ryu said, jumping in at the conversation. He was the new kid in the group. Mei Lin's boyfriend from China and although they haven't seen each other in 2 months, they have contacted each other through emails, phone calls, and letters. After those months of missing her, he packed his bags and jumped on the next plane to Tokyo to see his beloved and joined the group and has been a part of it since.

"I don't want to pressure her. Besides, she already has feelings for my cute little cousin over here." He pinched my cheeks until it turned red which left me no choice but to jump him…literally.

o0o0o-With the girls-o0o0o

"Humph! I can't believe that the boys threw us out of the room! How rude!" Mei Lin pouted, keeping her nose up high after spending a few minutes of kicking and banging on the door. After realizing that she and the girls couldn't hear a thing about what the boys were talking about, she decided to quit her ministrations in hope to eavesdrop on their conversation.

"Yeah, well, what are you gonna do? We're girls, and we were practically thrown out of there." Chiharu said with remorse, concocting an evil scheme to get back at her boyfriend, Yamazaki. She and the other two girls stared at their ruby-eyed friend in sheer amusement.

"Give it up Mei Lin. You can't hear from that door; it's utterly impossible." Tomoyo dreaded, propping her elbows over the counter in support for her head. Her other hand was reaching out potato chip after another and drinking a diet Coke to wash down the saltiness and the bitter taste that was left on her tongue after swallowing.

"But aren't you curious? I mean, your boyfriend is out there with our boyfriends (scratch Sakura) and is talking about his feelings! Without us to blackmail or to tease or to anything! We are part of the group because that's what we do best!" Mei Lin exclaimed, banging on the door with her fists again.

"Oi! Calm down! You're giving me headache!" Tomoyo shouted, crumbs of chips flying out of her mouth. "Oops." She giggled, embarrassed at what she have done by accident. She was sure she swallowed. She wiped her mouth at the chunks of pieces and rubbed her temple-lobe with her hand.

"Wait!" Mei Lin leaned her ear over to the door way.

"What is it Mei?"

"Shh! I hear something!" She said, shushing them with her finger on her lips in a sign of silence. They waited a few seconds, hearing only the clock ticking and not a peep out of the guys.

"Mei Lin." They drawled. "Are you sure that you can hear them talking, or are you just going delusional and mental on us?"

Mei Lin sighed, seeing that whatever her dear cousin was saying was absolutely out of topic. "I don't know." She slid down to the floor, her body using the support of the door. "All I know is that I am NOT GOING MENTAL!" She glared at them. "And something about cake..."

Now this is where the amethyst-eyed twitched in anticipation. Picture this:

A renowned perfectionist at heart was never to be rude, snobby, prissy, and most importantly impolite. She must be perfect in dinner, school, and she had to finish every problem that was faced right in front of her, and right now Mei Lin was her problem. However, since the door was Mei Lin's problem, the door was her main priority right now.

True, she had her moments of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, but that was only if it was a HUGE problem such as unable to finish a dress or not finishing a paper or not even cleaning up the mess in her room. Even when she had her friends help her build the barbeque she laid out all the tools and appliances just like in the instructions menu. Is this another one of her Obsessive Compulsive problems? Absolutely.

"Tomoyo, are you feeling well?" Sakura spoke up, eyeing her lunatic of a friend.

"Shh. I'm concocting a plan." Her eyes shining with mischievous mirth. Her friends backed away, knowing she was up to no good when she had that look.

o0o0o0o-Back to the boys-o0o0o0o

"Ok, so what if I, Syaoran Li, am in love? Why is it such a big deal?!" My friends stared at me as if I was on drugs. "Oh, I don't know. Maybe it's because you're in love with YOUR BEST FRIEND!"

KA-BOOM! The next thing they found was the door falling, followed by a hands-on-her-hips-grinning-Tomoyo. The boys scoot away, not liking her face expression one bit. They glanced at her feet where Mei Lin and Chiharu laid, their eyes of stars with their tongue sticking out in exhaustion. Yamazaki and Ryu rushed over to aid one, his girlfriend and the other, his friend while Sakura was nowhere to be seen.

Which left Syaoran and Tomoyo; Tomoyo glaring at him in a sharp face with her legs striding over to him. He gulped as she kneeled down in front of him, and then in a snap second she had a dreamy look on her face followed by a 'kitty' face as she purred on her boyfriend's lap and nuzzled in his chest.

Syaoran looked at her as if she was on crack. "D-Daidouji, are you all right?" All she did was 'meow' and fall asleep on his lap making the others look at her as if she was crazy. Even the girls were looking out of it. The guys glanced at each other wonderously and walked a trembling gait towards the prison cell where they locked their girls up.

"Ooh!" They coughed at the smell, recognizing it as Ammonium sulfide, in other words, stink bomb.

"I guess they found our stink bomb stash." Eriol mused, staring at the now green colored room

"And just when we were about to get back at Mr. Stifani for giving me an F on that paper." Yamazaki grieved.

"I now have a reason to hate the color green." Syaoran said in a squeaky vocalized mutter. His hands were covering his mouth and nose to cover the stench of rotten eggs and fresh excremental smut. His eyes widened at a large object that was swelling up like a balloon. "What," he pointed towards the counter where it was, "is that?" He and his friends leaned over, staring quizzically at it.

"I think that's a stink bomb." Eriol said, bending his head to take a closer look at it.

The case shook. "And it's about to blow!" Yamazaki blowed.

"Run for your lives!" Syaoran shouted, jumping out of the kitchen, Yamazaki in pursuit and Eriol right on their tails as they were landing for the fallen door.

KA-BOOM! Some unknown green product flew on them, covering them with the fetor stench now on them and the kitchen now completely green.

"Man!" Yamazaki chuckled. "I am definitely buying another one of those things!" Eriol and Li sighed exhaustingly, staring at the three hysterical girls on the floor, twitching at the familiar scent.

'Aw crud.'

o0o0o0o0o0o

Me: I think I went off topic a couple of times, especially with the stink bomb. Haha! By the way, Teach me to be the Perfect Wife is under construction, but not for long!
