He
wrapped his arms around himself. Still feeling cold all over, now
accompanied by the shame of yelling at the object of his affection.
He glared up at the sky. It was all that damn Eriol his fault. If
only he hadn't said those stupid words, and if only he hadn't
been so damn…so…
He shook his head, hoping to jumble
everything back into place. He felt so confused. How could Sakura
make him feel so warm…and Eriol, so very cold?
The road to home seemed to have lengthened since the last time he walked it. He rubbed his arms, trying to warm himself some. The words Eriol had spoken still haunting through his mind. "You look pretty." He repeated. Feeling them on his lips. How weird they sounded. How unnatural. Stupid Eriol for making him feel this way.
Entering his home he was greeted with silence. Off course nobody would be home. He walked past the table finding a small note. "Out, don't wait up." He rolled his eyes. If the note had been any shorter he would have mistaken it for blank.
Brushing
his fingers along the wooden surface of the table. Smooth…cold. He
let out a sigh. He liked being home alone. He could be alone, just
him and his thoughts. No annoying hormones or family members
interrupting with his thoughts.
He walked up the stairs, his eyes
closed, letting his fingers dance along the feeling of smooth
polished wood underneath the nerve endings in his fingers. If he
touched it lightly it was like touching nothing but air. It must have
sounded weird to people who weren't in his head, but to him it
sounded nice. It sounded reasonable. No more difficult grammar,
incoherent conversations, no more trying to keep up with thoughts he
wasn't used to.
"No more dealing with damned mages," He
chuckled, his eyes still closed as he held his arms out. Feeling like
he wasn't even walking, but levitated. It was so very nice, feeling
this free.
It reminded him of some battles he had. Sometimes using his magic was the only times he felt in control. Maybe that was because fighting didn't need any hormones. He didn't have to think what his enemy thought of him. How he was dressed, what he said… no, battling was way easier then normal life.
He
stepped into the bathroom. Leaning his back against the door he
locked it. He didn't like bathing with an open door. Never knew why
that was, he just didn't.
The bathroom was a pearly white. Some
flower decorations along a simple line. A large bathtub which looked
more like a pool. Three taps and plants and candles everywhere. He
smiled softly to himself as he leaned to grab the coconut bathing gel
and turned on the taps.
Soon
the room became filled with small clouds and the smell of coconut.
Pulling off his socks and shirt he went to check the temperature of
the water. He let out a breath of relaxation as the hot water met the
skin of his hand. It truly felt wonderful.
Standing to take of
his pants he hesitated. Looking at himself in the large mirror.
Holding his head to the side he looked over his face. His deep brown
bangs and his amber eyes. He wiped away the little droplets that had
started forming on the mirror surface so he could look at himself
more clearly. Suddenly he jumped. Drawing his hand back so swiftly,
like he was burned. Glancing at himself again. Surprise written al
over his face before the image hazed over again. "What…" he
asked, still looking at the mirror as if expecting it to answer. "For
a moment I thought." He rubbed his hand through his hair, sighing
again. His eyes had to be fooling with him. He swore he had just seen
Eriol there a second ago.
Letting himself slide into the hot water he gasped. The warmth of the water seeming to take over his mind completely. Closing his eyes he leaned back against the edge of the tub. Letting himself relax fully he let his thoughts drift. Dazing of into sweet daydreams.
A hand grasped his own. Warm… He looked up and met the eyes of a most beautiful creature. "Sakura?" Sakura smiled, laying her finger on his lips. "Shh Li-kun." He blushed, his heartbeat racing like he had just run a mile. He looked around, the room was hazy with steam leaving everything in a deep almost ethereal glow. He looked back at Sakura, her hair damp and her faced flushed. Then she leaned into him. He couldn't believe this was actually happening. Finally Sakura would kiss him, finally they could be together, finally-
"You look pretty Syaoran."
He tore his eyes open, meeting the deep eyes of icy blue. "Eriol!"
He jumped up in terror, looking around himself like a pray whom was set face to face with his predator. He was back in his bathroom, nobody there but him. Just as his heart started to settle down a shiver ran through him, and he felt cold again, wrapping his arms around himself.
The water no longer felt warm and pleasant, no it felt icy cold now. The steam hadn't yet settled he realized as he lifted himself from the water, wrapping a fluffy towel around his shoulders. Just as he was about to reach for the handle of the door he felt his eyes drawn to the mirror at his side.
Holding out his hand he realized he was shaking. Afraid of what he would see? He swallowed letting his fingers brush along the damp mirror as to see his eyes. Amber, like they had always been. No more the blue ice. The shivers grew stronger and he bit his lip. Turning away from the reflection.
