Chapter 5: Midnight snack.
Eriol turned off the TV and walked
up to his bedroom, with Tomoyo following him very close. He heard her yanwed
when they were climbing up the stairs, sign that she was also tired.
They alredy brushed their teeth and
fighted a little more when they went back to the TV, and now they were heading
to sleep. Sure another fight was ahead.
Tomoyo pulled up the covers of the
bed and slid in and next to her laided Eriol. He turned off the lamp on his
bedside table and the room fell into darkness, leaving only the moonlight
available, that entered the room through the huge window.
"Umm.... Eriol-kun?" Asked Tomoyo
shyly.
"Yes?"
"I have to sleep on the right side
of the bed..."
"What? Why?" He asked now opening
his eyes to see her.
"Because otherwise I won't get any
sleep."
Eriol sighed. "Fine, fine. Just roll
over to this side."
"Arigato!" She said and then rolled
over Eriol, but stopped in mid way when she noticed something missing on his
face.
He wasn't wearing glasses. For the
first time in her life she could see Eriol's dark blue eyes without a glass in
the middle of their glares. Tomoyo stared for a while, she had to admit to
herself that he looked different without his glasses. *He looks so cute...*
"Err... Tomoyo-chan, are you going
to finish rolling over?" He asked interrupting her thougths.
Tomoyo blushed when she realized
that she was still on top of him. She finished rolling over and landed on the
other side of the bed, while Eriol moved to the left side.
Now the problem was to get a
confortable position since he was attached by his left wrist. He tried to put his arm in front of him, but
he was to unconfortable.
"Don't move so much, Eriol-kun..."
Tomoyo complained getting confortable herself.
"I'm unconfortable!" He cried and
putted his arm behing his head.
"Just stay that way." Tomoyo ordered
and closed her eyes. She was laid down in way she was facing him.
Eriol sighed, he stayed that way and
stared at the cealing. How come did he always ended up losing a discution
agaist Tomoyo? He was the reincannation of a powerful sorcerer, for crying out
loud! And he couldn't beat a girl?... No! Not just any girl... it was Tomoyo
Daidouji after all.
With that last thought he gave one more
glance at Tomoyo, who was alredy sleeping. He smiled and then fell asleep.

It was probably the middle of the
night when Eriol woke up with a growling stomach. He was hungry.
He hessitaded on waking up the
sleeping person next to him, but he had to eat something or otherwise he
wouldn't sleep again.
"Tomoyo-chan..." He whispered.
He didn't answered. Instead, she
turned the other way and pulled him closer to her.
"Tomoyo!!" He cried out loud.
"Nani?! What do you want?" She asked
opening her eyes slowly. It took a while before she completely woke up and then
she turned to her left to face him.
"I'm hungry." Eriol said putting a
hand on his stomach.
"Then go eat..." She murmured and
closed her eyes again.
"I can't go by myself." He said
indicating the handcuffs.
"Why? Are you afraid to walk around
your own house at night?!" She asked in a daring tone, still with her eyes
close.
Eriol looked at her and with an evil
grin he sat on the bed, rolled over her and walked toward the door.
Tomoyo landed on the floor with a
loud thud, that completely woke her up. "Ooww!! What did you do that for?!?!"
She cried rubbing her bottom that hitted the floor hard.
"Oh, I'm sorry..." He said trying to
look inocent. "I thought you told me to go by myself."
Tomoyo growled and got up on her
feet. "Fine! Let's go to the kitchen."
"Thank you." He said as they started
walking out the bedroom.
They went down the dark hallway,
with Tomoyo bumping into the wall every now and then.
"Are you still asleep?" He asked her
when she tripped with a small table.
"No!" She cried standing up and
continued walking.
"Well, be careful with the stairs."
He said once the reached them.
"Sure, sure..." But as soon as she
finished the sentence, she missed the first step and rolled down the stairs
draging Eriol along with her.
"AHHHHH!!!" They both cried in every
turn they took.
They finally landed on the floor
side by side. Neither of them move for a second, almost as waiting for the pain
in their backs to go away.
Finally Eriol got up and stretched.
"Ooww... are you all right?" He asked.
"Yeah..." She answered trying to get
up.
Eriol grab hold of her hand and
pulled her, but on her way up, Tomoyo tripped again and crashed into
Eriol's bare hard chest.
She looked up blushing and met with
Eriol's eyes looking straight at her.
He had never seen Tomoyo so close
and neither he had noticed the beauty in her big blue eyes.
They were both lost in the moment
that neither of them noticed that the handcuffs shortened a link, sign that
they were getting closer.
Eriol was the first one to get out
of the trance when his stomach growled again. "I... uh, we better continued to
the kitchen." He said and cleared his throat
"Uh, yeah..." Tomoyo agreed nodding
dumbly.
He turned on the lights when they
entered the kitchen and then started to fix up a sandwich. "You wanna eat
something?" He asked looking at Tomoyo who was half asleep, half awake on the
chair next to him.
She grumbled something that sounded
like "No, thank you." And then yawned.
"Suit yourself." He said while he
took the sandwich to the microwave. "Now let's put it 30 seconds and..."
"Just hurry up!" Ordered Tomoyo
closing the door without noticing that Eriol's hand was still inside the
microwave.
"OOWW!!!" He yelled holding up his
finger. "My finger!!!"
Tomoyo eyes opened up in suprise.
"Gomen! Are you ok?"
"Does it look like it's ok?!" He
asked showing his finger that was now turning purple.
"Let me see."
"No."
"Don't be such a baby and let me see
it."
He grumbled and release the hold of
his finger. "All right."
Tomoyo grab hold of his hand and
inspected it carefully. It was now all purple, but it was nothing to worry
about.
"You cried over such a little
thing?"
"Well, why don't you try closing the
microwave with your finger in it? Maybe you will like it."
"Let's just put some ice on it
and..."
"No." He said taking his hand away
from her.
"What? You don't even want me to put
ice on it?"
"No, I'm fine."
"Eriol... the ice won't hurt you."
"Not the ice, but maybe you will..."
He murmured.
"Hey, I said I was sorry. Here, I'll
kiss it and the pain will go away." She pulled his hand to her lips and kissed
the injured finger. "There."
Eriol smiled. "Well, it did work..."
"See, I told you!" She said smiling
back. "Now just warm put your sandwich and let's go back to sleep."
"Hai, hai..." He murmured and turned
on the microwave.
Eriol lifted up his left hand to
pull back a lock of hair in his eye, when suddenly another link shortened.
"Hey, did you saw that?" He asked surprised.
"Nani? Saw what?" Tomoyo asked
turning to face him.
"A link shortened."
Tomoyo looked at her wrist and
noticed that Eriol was right. "Now, why did that happened?"
"I supose it means we're getting
closer."
"You think so?"
"... yeah."
Tomoyo stared at him again. Lately
she couldn't stop herself from doing it that, but she washed away her thoughts
when the microwave finished warming up the sandwich. "Well, let's go."
"Sure." He said and took his
sandwich out.
They walked out of the kitchen into
the living room and up the stairs.
"Careful with the first step." He
murmured taking a bite of his sandwich.
"I don't trip with the same..." But
before she could finish she was alredy on the floor.
"You were saying?" He asked.
"Shut up!"
