Syaoran's Apartment

Room 409

'It's Sunday. Yesterday, the weather-report predicted a sunny day today in Kuala Lumpur' Syaoran; wearing only his blue Adidas track bottom, was deep in thought about taking Sakura on another picnic as he looked outside of his kitchen window in his apartment.

Since he was waking up this early, he might as well make some breakfast for Sakura, who was tired from her work in the pastry kitchen at the Sheraton Hotel, Kuala Lumpur. He wanted to show that he still got his touch in cooking after he landed a job as a journalist for FHM Magazine.

"Heh...I'll show her. I've found one recipe that could make her blush even more..." Syaoran said to himself, smirking at the thought of Sakura's blushes. He caught himself blushing as his nice thoughts about Sakura turned into naughty ones. "...Whoa. Better calm myself...or I might get it..." he reminded himself as he went to get his small black handbook in his bedroom.

As he went into his bedroom, he caught the sight of his beautiful Kinomoto Sakura; sleeping like a log in her nightgown as the comforter covers her to keep her warm in their queen-size futon. He stood there by the door frame, watching her sleeping beautiful face. He was glad her heart belongs to him, and his heart belongs to her. He then remembered how they first met. At first, they were rivals, then they were partners, and that relationship turned into friendship and finally into love. After remembering the moments with her, he went next to her, gave her a small kiss on her forehead and turned towards his small study desk to get his small black handbook.

He went straight to the kitchen to grab a kitchen apron and wore it. He opened his black book that contained notes like his dateline or his interview dates and venues as he flipped the pages containing the recipe that he was looking for.

He grabbed some 3-part eggs, 3 level tablespoon of flour and 3 tablespoon melted butter in his blender and mixed well to make the pancake batter. After the batter was done, he poured the batter into a bowl and scooped some of the batter as the griddle heated up. Once the griddle was heated up, he baked the scooped batter in perfect thin layers. Once the one side of the batter was cooked, he flipped the pancake to make it land perfectly on to the griddle.

After making six pancakes, he then stacking the pancakes on a plates and not forgetting to put spread the butter on each pancakes. After doing that, Syaoran decorates the pancakes with Cool Whip Whipping Cream on the top of the pancakes and placed a sweetened strawberry on the whipping cream.

Syaoran places the sweet strawberry pancakes on the breakfast tray, with a jar of maple syrup, her favourite coffee and some sachet of sugar and creamer to go with the coffee. He even placed a rose in a small vase to accompany the breakfast to his beloved Sakura.

While Syaoran is finishing on some final touches on the breakfast, the sweet of the pancakes has made Sakura stirred and woke up. She prompts herself into a sitting position as Syaoran enters into the bedroom. "Hey…good morning, Sakura dear" he greets to Sakura "Hmm…" she greet back to him. "What we have? Pancakes?" Sakura amused with Syaoran's action "Hehehe…Yeah, I making some pancakes just for you and for the record, that I'm still got my touch in cooking" He smiles as he settles the breakfast tray for her. Sakura can't help herself from giggling. "What is it? Is something on my face?" Syaoran asks. "No, no, no…" she said as she calmed herself from the giggle. "It's just that…you're trying to prove that you're still good at cooking?" she said with a smile. With a red blush on his face, he almost unable to speak "Well…I-I just…don't want to…well…"

Sakura giggles at his antics and his blushing red face and proceed to her breakfast tray. She pours some of the maple syrup on the pancakes and grabs her knife and fork in her hands. She cuts a small piece of the pancake and eats the small piece. She can't believed that the pancake he made was so delicious, she felt herself blushing. "Oh my…this is delicious…" she said. Syaoran asks her while smiled at her reaction toward her reaction. "You like it?" "Nope…I don't like it…" she answers him. Syaoran is shocked with her answer "Eh? But…I thought you said it was de-" "I said I didn't like it…" She interrupted him "But I'm really loving it…" she said with a blush that makes Syaoran's face copies her face.

"Heh…Well…If you wanted the recipes, you can copy mine…" Syaoran said. Sakura nods at his suggestion as she enjoying her pancakes. Syaoran watching Sakura with a glowing aura surrounding her while enjoying her pancakes. It's not just her magical aura, but other aura or some sort that similar to it radiating around her. Her glow…

"Ne…Syaoran-kun?" Sakura calling out to him to snapped out of his trains of thought. "Huh? What is it, Sakura?" he asks his spouse. "Ne…Since you being a sweetie for making the pancakes for me, Would you like some dim sum for lunch later? For returning the favor at least…" Sakura said with a red flush on her delicate face. "Eh? R-Really? Umm…Well, if you insist anyways…" Syaoran mimics his love's blush as he replies.

Sakura giggles at the responds and start to cleaning up her breakfast tray. "Well…Shall we?" "Eh?" Syaoran was dumbstruck at her action which made her giggle again. "Ah…Come on, Syaoran. Let's make the dim sums together, Ne?" Sakura suggest to Syaoran and he agrees as he follows his lovely soul mate to the kitchen.
