"Oi, Hiiragizawa, here's yours."
Syaoran said as he tossed the small wrapped box to Eriol whose eyes crinkled, "Don't tell me it's Printer ink catridge again?" Syaoran rolled his eyes, "Unfortunately, not." Eriol laughed as Sakura handed him another box, "Here's from me, Eriol-kun!" Eriol smiled, "Arigatou gozaimasu, Sakura-san."
Sakura's eyes started getting dreamy, "Eriol-kun! What did Tomoyo-san gave you today!? I remembered she gave you a lovely music box last year!"
Eriol immediately bowed down his head, hiding his blush as he stuck his hands in his pocket, remembering the kiss he had with her last year and how he had dated her out on many occasions yet he was still too shy to admit his feelings.
"She had not come yet…" Eriol replied as Sakura groaned, "Don't tell me she has choir practice again?" Eriol smiled, "It doesn't matter. I'm sure she will somehow make it." Sakura smiled before pulling Syaoran up to the rest at the hall.
Eriol watched after the still-kawaii couple after two years, a light smile playing on his lips when he felt a tap on his shoulder. Nakuru Akizuki smiled down at him, "Eriol-sama, you've got a phone call."
Eriol nodded and immediately rushed to the kitchen, picking up the phone, "Eriol speaking."
"Eriol-kun!"
A smile immediately lightened on his face, "Tomoyo-san!" A giggle before speaking, "Eriol-kun, gomen ne, I can't make it on time. I'm still at choir practice and I have to practice for the coming concert. You won't mind if I come later, will you?" Eriol shook his head, "Iie! It'll be fine!"
A giggle was heard over the line, "Then I'll see you later, ne? Ja ne!" Eriol smiled to no one in particular, "Ja ne, Tomoyo-san."
Click.
Eriol couldn't help a huge smile from appearing on his face as he turned away from the kitchen but stopped when he saw someone peering out at him.
Nakuru-san.
Nakuru squealed immediately, "That was sooooooooooooo AMAIIIIII!!!!!!!" Nakuru immediately ran towards Eriol, "So I bet Tomoyo-san will be coming later?" Nakuru's eyes grew dreamy, "GO, ERIOL, GO!!!!!!" Nakuru looked at Eriol who had grown very tall over the months, "Take this chance to admit your feelings, k, Eriol-sama!?"
Nakuru squealed as she ran off again.
"Baka Ruby Moon." Eriol muttered as he walked out of the kitchen. But hey, who could stop that wonderful feeling that was surging from his heart?
~_^
"Eriol-kun…?"
The familiar angelic voice called out as she took a step into the Hiiragizawa manor, looking around at the empty living hall, "Eriol-kun?"
Tomoyo Daidouji who had grown more entrancing over the year bit her lips. Where was Eriol-kun?
"Tomoyo-san…" A whisper called out from behind.
Tomoyo beamed and turned around, "Eriol-kun! Happy birthday!" Eriol smiled, "Thank you for coming, Tomoyo-san." Tomoyo smiled, "My pleasure." Eriol pointed to the backyard, "Let's talk in the garden." Tomoyo beamed, "Hai!"

"Wow! I didn't know you've grown Nadeshikos in your garden!" Tomoyo gushed as she excitedly toured the garden, "It's been sooooo long since I came here and everything seems to be much, much more beautiful!"
Eriol chuckled at the girl's enthusiasm, "It'll do you much better if you calm down, Tomoyo-san." Tomoyo giggled as she plopped herself down on one of the swings, "I love your garden. It always gives me a sense of peace."
Eriol smiled, taking the swing next to her, "You still remember last year right on this day?"
A slight red stained her face as she nodded bashfully, "Hai. It was your birthday, too and we were sitting out here together." Eriol nodded, "You gave me a music box that time, didn't you?" Tomoyo nodded, smiling, "Do you still have it with you?" Eriol beamed, "It's always with me."
Tomoyo nodded, staring out to the skies, "You think you can make a star fall again?" She giggled and faced Eriol, "I'm just joking." Eriol shook his head, "If you want it, I can have it done."
Eriol raised a finger and sure enough, a star soon formed a streak down the blanket of night skies. Tomoyo smiled as she stared up to the sky, captivated by the scene, "Arigatou gozaimasu…"
Tomoyo looked back down, "Your birthday present! I always forgot!" Eriol laughed, "Always too excited about my lovely garden to even remember about the present?" Tomoyo giggled, holding out a wrapped box, "Maybe. Here's for you. Happy birthday, Eriol-kun."
Eriol smiled and took it, "Can I open it now?" Tomoyo nodded, hair twirling in the wind, "Hai!"
Eriol's fingers took the ribbons and untied it before pulling out the present, eyes gazing at it intently.
It was a long moment before anybody spoke.
"I…I-I'm sorry, Eriol-kun…I really didn't know that you didn't like it. I didn't know what to get for you. I'm really sorry, I'll try to—" Tomoyo stopped when Eriol's soft, gentle gaze trained upon hers, "Whoever said I didn't like it?"
Eriol looked down at the porcelain swallows in his hands, both of them joined together, spreading its wings. A smile lit on his face, "I love it…" He murmured as he looked at Tomoyo again, "I really do."
Tomoyo smiled, flushing beautifully, "I can't possibly give you nice presents on your birthday everytime. If you live to 60 years, I'll have to buy a total of 60 presents," Tomoyo teased, "And I can't possibly make every gift a beautiful one."
Eriol smiled fondly, "Anything you give me can be considered the most beautiful thing on this planet and around the whole universe." Tomoyo flushed heavily, "You're exaggerating." Eriol shook his head, feeling his heart beginning to pound, "No, I'm not."
Eriol stood up from the swing and knelt before Tomoyo, taking her hands, looking lovingly into her eyes, "Tomoyo-san…" He breathed. Tomoyo bowed down her head slightly, feeling her heart racing wildly, "Hai?"
"I…I…"
Eriol stumbled upon his words. God! Why was he feeling as though he was going to die any moment!?
"I…"
Eriol took a deep breath.
"I…like you a lot."
Tomoyo nodded bashfully, "…I know…" Eriol shook his head, fingers tilting her chin up, causing her to look into his eyes, "Not just that, Tomoyo-san. I love you."
Eriol started to flush heavily. God! He could not believe that he just said that!
"And I…And I want you to be my girl…" Eriol said shyly, eyes dropping a little, "Are you…Are you willing to?"
Silence before an angelic giggle broke out, "Yes, of course."
Eriol looked up into Tomoyo's shining pure amethyst eyes, smiling, "I like you a lot, too, Eriol-kun." Tomoyo then giggled, "Nope, not like. I love you, Eriol-kun."
Eriol laughed as he embraced Tomoyo. She smiled up at her boyfriend, "Happy birthday, Eriol-kun…" Eriol smiled, "Seems like you have made this the best day in my entire life again, sweetheart…" Tomoyo giggled as she felt Eriol tenderly brushing her hair from her eyes before lowering his head towards hers until their lips met in a soft and gentle kiss that melted into the night.
Somewhere, two semi-humans looked down from a certain window of a certain house.
"You don't think they are too young for that?" The small creature asked as it looked down out of the window.
"BAKA!" The person beside him commented as she boinked him into unconsciousness. The guardian by the name of Nakuru Akizuki or better known as Ruby Moon frowned down at the unconscious creature.
"Hmmph. What do you know about love anyway? Age doesn't matter as long as love between two of them are pure. BAKA!" Nakuru scolded the motionless creature before she giggled, peering down the window, sighing happily.
"Aw, sugoi…I've never seen such a movie so wonderful before…" She commented before she giggled.
"Hey…Whoever said that this was a movie?"
