Nineteen; Overseas

Harsh, early morning winds blew against his cheek as he quickly shuffled his way onto class. The weather in Tokyo wasn't particularly any warmer around winter, it was just as cold, just as snowy as Tomeda. He could barely open door without shivering a little, but he was able to anyways. He stepped into the classroom, feeling a warm burst of stale air. He quickly closed the door and hurried to a seat near the center of the lecture hall.

"Late Syaoran? That's a first," a girl quickly commented beside him.

"Don't give me that face Mei Lin," Syaoran retorted in a harsh whisper. He pulled out his laptop and his placed it on the desk. "You know perfectly why I'm late."

"Oh Syaoran, I can't believe you let Sakura-chan coax you into staying up so late," Mei Lin giggled at the thought of her cousin staying up past midnight.

"It's not that...she really needed help with her calculus homework!"

"Hush hush Syaoran, I know all about it."

After the two hour lecture, the two exited the building to go eat breakfast together. Mei Lin mindlessly chattered about her life and her random escapades over the weekend. She rambled on and on until Syaoran tuned her out and wandered in his own thoughts.

"Ne, ne, Syaoran, are you listening to me?" Mei Lin pouted, "Or is your mind off thinking about your cute little Sakura-chan?" Syaoran flushed as the two entered the cafeteria, and it wasn't because of the warm air.

"Mei Lin, don't say it like that," Syaoran said in a hushed whisper, "it makes it sound like we're dating."

"What are you twelve? You guys are dating!" Mei Lin yelled as she queued up for food.

"Yeah, but we never really talked about it," Syaoran said as he took a tray off the rack.

"No matter what you guys say, you two are dating, even if it's a kind of long distance relationship."

"It's been hard ever since she went to across the Pacific to study abroad, but I think she's back sometime next month."

"Time difference and everything huh?" Mei Lin smirked, "Syaoran, you better not be going around dating random girls to fulfill your needs while she's gone!" She took a bowl filled with soup and put it on her tray, Syaoran did the same.

"I wouldn't do anything like that!" Syaoran exclaimed, "what do you take me for?"

"I don't know Syaoran, maybe one day the endless mobs of women will get to you."

"Mei Lin."

"I know, I know Syaoran," Mei Lin said as she paid at the register, "you would never hurt Sakura-chan."

"Damn straight." Syaoran mumbled under his breath. He pulled out his wallet and handed a bill to the cashier. The cashier took the bill and smiled endearingly at Syaoran, who quickly took his change and left to sit with Mei Lin.

"That cashier chick totally wants you," Mei Lin commented as she started eating.

"Mei Lin!" Syaoran chastised. The two smiled at eating and continued with their meal.

Had some extra time on my hands! Thanks for the reviews and such!
