Tomoyo stood there, still staring into Eriol's beautiful sapphire eyes.
"Eriol....I...." Tomoyo said as if she were in a trance (SN: Well, actually...she kind of _is_ in a trance. Heck, who wouldn't be? I know _I_ would be if I was the one staring into Eriol's eyes. Starrie knows how OBSESSED I am with eyes!!!! ^^ hehehe *__*)
"Shh...." Eriol gently said. Eriol put a finger on her lips to silence her. He leaned in slowly.
Suddenly......
"Hey, Eriol!! Tomoyo!!! You guys have to try this stuff!" Sakura said happily. Tomoyo and Eriol quickly separated, wearing deep shades of pink on their faces. It was a good thing that Sakura and Syaoran didn't see them (their backs were facing Eriol and Tomoyo).
"Yeah, guys!!! The marshmallows and the cocoa's great!!!" Syaoran added.
"Okay, guys. We're coming." Tomoyo said. She walked back to seat on the log, taking one last look at her one true....Eriol. Tomoyo sat down next to Sakura. She picked up a stick and stuck a marshmallow on the end. She sat there quietly.
"Hey, Tomoyo. Are alright? I heard you fall. I didn't turn around to see you 'cause I was roasting marshmallows. Are you okay?" Sakura asked, turning to look at Tomoyo. Tomoyo stared into the fire, not paying attention to anything around her. "Hey....Tomoyo.....are you in there?" Sakura asked. Tomoyo snapped out of her daze.
"I'm sorry. Did you say something?" Tomoyo asked.
"Are you okay? You've been quiet ever since you fell in the snow. Are you hurt or something?" Sakura asked, beginning to get worried.
"No, Sakura. I'm fine." Tomoyo said, giving her a weak smile.
"No, you're not. Something happened. I know it. You can't hide it from me. Anyways, you're my best friend!! You know you can tell me _anything_. Now, what's wrong?" Sakura asked.
"Well...when I fell...I..." Tomoyo began.
"Hold on a sec. Let's go talk about this away from the boys." Sakura suggested.
"Okay." Tomoyo said. She and Sakura got up and walked away to a private spot.
"Okay, Tomoyo. What happened when you fell?" Sakura asked.
"Well, when I fell....I fell _on top_ of Eriol." Sakura's eyes widened.
"Oh my god!!! What happened?" Sakura asked excitedly. She knew how much Tomoyo liked Eriol, even though Tomoyo would deny it.
"Well...I guess we....got caught up in the moment...." Tomoyo said softly. "And then....we were about to....ki....kiss." Tomoyo said. She softly touched her lips, remembering how Eriol had almost introduced his lips to hers. "That's when you called me and him over to the fire." Tomoyo said, lowering her voice in disappointment. Sakura's eyes widened again.
"Oh my god!!!! Tomoyo!! I'm sooooo sorry. I....I didn't know." Sakura said. She looked into Tomoyo's eyes. Sadness was clearly present in them.
"It's okay, Sakura." Tomoyo said. She gave Sakura a smile, trying to reassure Sakura that it was okay, but Sakura saw how truly sad she was. Sakura tried to smile, but it didn't work. She couldn't convince her heart that Tomoyo was really okay. She knew that Tomoyo just didn't want to hurt her feelings. Suddenly, Sakura hugged Tomoyo.
"I'm so sorry, Tomoyo." Sakura whispered into Tomoyo's ear. Tomoyo smiled. They separated.
"Sakura. It's okay. I'm fine, really." Tomoyo said. She gave Sakura another smile. This time, Sakura knew that she really _was_ okay.
"We should get back to the fire." Sakura said.
"You're right." Tomoyo said. They linked arms (SN: That's what I do to my friends all the time....and sometimes it annoys them....I think....) and walked back to the fire. They took their seat on the log. They started roasting more marshmallows.
"So, girls? Did you have a nice little chit chat over there?" Eriol asked.
"Do you really need to know??" Sakura said back. She gave him a little glare. "Mind your own business, Hiragizawaa." Sakura said. She turned her attention back to the marshmallows. Eriol smirked.
*** Half an hour later ***
Everyone was sitting in front of the fire, enjoying their half empty bucket of marshmallows and thier half full cup of hot cocoa. At this time, everyone was just sitting around the fire, talking. After awhile, Sakura brought up something very important.
"Hey, guys. How will we get home? Tomorrow's Christmas Day!!" Sakura said.
"Yeah...how _will_ we get home?" Tomoyo asked.
"I don't know. We'll just stay here a little longer, then we'll look for a way back home, I guess." Eriol suggested.
"Okay, whatever. Just as long you add the word 'home' in your sentence." Sakura said, crossing her arms. Everyone was quiet for a while. "Hey, guys. Why don't we go skating again?" Sakura suggested.
"Oh, no thanks, Sakura. I wanna stay here and have more marshmallows and hot cocoa." Tomoyo said.
"Me neither, Sakura. There's no way I'm going back on the ice after what happened earlier." Eriol said, blushing in embarrasment. Everyone giggled at the memory.
"Okay, Syaoran. Then _you_ come ice skate with me." Sakura said, smiling. Without waiting for Syaoran to say anything, she grabbed him by the hands and lifted him off his seat, taking him with her to the pond. Sakura immediately got on the ice. Syaoran sat on a rock at the edge of the pond. "Come on, Syaoran. Skate with me. It's fun!!" Sakura said.
"No. I'd rather not get up and skate." Syaoran said.
"Oh, come on!!! It's fun. You'll like it!! It's really easy!!" Sakura said. She tried hard to convince him to get on the ice, but no matter what she said, he refused to get on. Finally, she decided to try one more time before she'd give up. "Okay, Syaoran. I'll make you a deal. If you skate with me this _one_ time, then I won't ask you to skate with me anymore. Deal?" Syaoran hesitated a little.
"Okay, okay, okay. I'll skate with you." Syaoran said reluctantly. Sakura smiled excitedly.
"Oh my gosh!!! Yes!!! Thank you so much, Syaoran!!!" She spun on the ice. Syaoran put on his skates. After he was done, he slowly got on the ice.
"I'm telling you, Sakura. I can't skate!!" Syaoran said.
"Come on, then. I'll teach you to skate." Sakura said. She skated up next to Syaoran and held his hand. Syaoran looked at her. She looked back at him. Sakura cleared her throat. "Okay. First, you step with your right foot and gently slide it to the right." Sakura demonstrated for him. "Now, you try." Syaoran tried it, but he slid, almost falling. Sakura caught his fall. She giggled a little. "It's okay, Syaoran. Try again." After a while, Syaoran learned the basics of skating. Sakura and Syaoran held hands, slowly skating around the pond.
*** Meanwhile...***
Tomoyo quietly sat next to Eriol.There was silence between them. Tomoyo then spoke.
"Eriol....about what happened earlier...I was wondering...."
"Tomoyo, I'm sorry if I made you feel...uncomfortable...." Eriol said quietly. He slowly moved, sitting closer to her.
"No, no, no. You didn't make me feel uncomfortable at all...." Tomoyo said, not looking at him. She too started to sit a little closer to him. Soon, they were so close that their legs nearly touched.
"Tomoyo....I have to tell you...."
"Yes?...." Tomoyo asked, lifting her gaze to meet Eriol's eyes.
"I....I'm in lo....I love you, Tomoyo...." Eriol said. Tomoyo immediately smiled. Without warning, Eriol cupped her face and planted a kiss on her lips. They separated, looking lovingly into each other's eyes.
"I love you, too, Eriol." Tomoyo said, smiling. This time, she kissed him. Her lips craved more of his kisses. Then, it began to snow.
*** At the pond ***
Sakura and Syaoran were having a fun time just skating around the pond. Then, Syaoran began practicing how to stop. Sakura stood at the edge of the pond, holding her hands out so that Syaoran wouldn't skate out of the ice. Syaoran was at the other side of the pond, getting ready to skate.
"Okay, Syaoran. Skate towards me and try to stop without going past my hands." Sakura instructed.
"Okay. I'm going." Syaoran said. He readied himself and soon, he was skating towards Sakura. When he was halfway through the pond, the began to freak out. He didn't know how to stop. "Sakura!! Where are the brakes on these things?" Syaoran called out and she clumsily skated towards Sakura. He then saw Sakura standing right in front of him. Syaoran had skated into Sakura. "Sakura!! Sakura!!! Are you okay?" Syaoran asked, shaking her shoulder gently. Sakura opened her eyes and saw Syaoran on top of her.
"Oh, Syaoran. I'm fine." Sakura said. She gave a little smile. Syaoran got up. He extended his hand to help Sakura up. Sakura got up, holding Syaoran's hands for balance.
"Are you sure you're okay?" Syaoran asked, looking into her emerald eyes.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Sakura said, looking back into his deep amber eyes. Syaoran suddenly smiled. "What? What are you smiling at?"
"I'm smiling at you." Syaoran said.
"Why???" Sakura asked, getting a little freaked out by Syaoran's smiling.
"Oh, it's nothing."
"No!! Tell me!!" Sakura said whiningly. (SN: Starrie....does that remind you of someone? ^^)
"Well, you have snow in your hair...."
"Yeah....and????"
"It's just that.....you look like an angel that fell from heaven." Syaoran said. Sakura smiled. A light pink color grazed her cheek.
"Oh.....thank you..." Sakura said, smiling sheepishly. She turned her gaze from Syaoran's eyes to the snow.
"Sakura...." Syaoran said, lifting her head so that her eyes met his. "I mean it. You _are_ an angel...an angel that God has sent to me..." Sakura smiled and blushed more. She became speechless. "Sakura...my angel....my cherry blossom....I love you." Syaoran said. Sakura's smiled widened. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. Suddenly, Syaoran gave Sakura a sweet kiss. There were no words that could describe it. Then, it began to snow. Sakura felt as if she was in a winter wonderland.
