To Shed the Tears
"Angeline…" Eriol called after the blonde-haired woman, "Angeline!" Angeline turned around, "What is it, Eriol?" Eriol stopped, "…I heard the Tomoeda Annual Festival is coming up. I-" "You want me to come along?" Angeline asked. Eriol nodded slowly, "To see if you're free." Angeline shook her head, "I've got something on that day."
Angeline was about to run away when Eriol grabbed her, "Angeline!" Angeline looked coldly at Eriol, "What!?" Eriol narrowed his eyes, "Why are you avoiding me?" Angeline shook her head, "I'm not!" "Yes, you are!" Eriol exclaimed, "Tell me why. Do you hate me?" Angeline pulled her hand away, "No!" Eriol sighed, "Angeline, why did you change so much?" Angeline narrowed her eyes, "None of your business, Eriol. And if there's nothing else, would you please excuse me." Angeline stalked off.
Eriol stared after Angeline before turning on his heels.
"Why did you became like this, Angeline?" Eriol mumbled as he entered the park, walking slowly.
He then stopped…
Tomoyo…!?
He approached Tomoyo swinging on the swings, "Tomoyo-san?" Tomoyo stopped herself and faced Eriol, "Hey." Eriol sighed as he sat down on the next swing.
"Things didn't go well with Angeline?" Tomoyo asked. Eriol shook his head, "Definitely not. I don't know why she changed so much since I last met her. She was always kind, gentle and everything…Now she changed to the exact opposite." Tomoyo smiled softly, "Maybe you should try looking by the other way. Her boyfriend just left her side, there's no doubt it will take her a while before she get used to it."
Eriol sighed, "I guess. I'm just trying to get her to smile again and all. It's just so hard." Tomoyo squeezed his hand, "Just keep on trying, Eriol. You'll make it one day." Eriol smiled warmly, "Thank you, Tomoyo." Tomoyo bowed down her head, "Doitashi mashite…" She whispered as she swung herself lightly.
Eriol looked at her, forehead creasing, "Something wrong, Tomoyo?" Tomoyo shook her head and smiled, "Iie. Daijoubu."
Eriol stood up from the swings and knelt in front of her, "Something is definitely wrong, Tomoyo. Care to tell me?" Tomoyo shook her head, "Nothing's wrong." Eriol brushed her hair away from the face, "You don't trust me?" "It's not that…" Tomoyo whispered, "…My dad's friend in France called me last night…" Eriol bit his lips, "What happened?" "He's got a bad case of a cold. He's immune system is already weakening immensely and he's crictically ill. I…I-I don't know what to do." Tomoyo sighed softly as she looked back down at her feet.
Eriol smiled gently as he took Tomoyo's hand, "Cheer up, you know. Things aren't that bad. Look on the bright side, ne, Tomoyo?" Tomoyo tried a smile, "I know. Thank you, Eriol." Eriol squeezed her hand, "It's nothing, you know. You've always been there when I'm down or something. You're always there when I needed someone to pour my troubles to." Eriol smiled warmly, "Thank you, Tomoyo." Tomoyo beamed, "I'm glad to be your friend, too."
Eriol stood up, smiling, "The Tomoeda Festival happens tomorrow. Surely you can afford to be my partner at the festival?" Tomoyo smiled and nodded, "Ok!" Eriol held out a hand, "Now, let's say we walk home together?" Tomoyo beamed, "Ok, Eriol."
~
"You wanna try the Giant Ferris Wheel ride?" Eriol asked. Tomoyo smiled, "Ok!" Eriol held out eight tickets, "Four more rides to go. Come on, Tomoyo! We're gonna race to the ride!" Tomoyo giggled as Eriol took her hand as they ran towards the station. The ticketman accepted the tickets, "Two tickets, ten rounds around the wheel." Eriol grinned, "Ten! That's brilliant." The man smiled as he held out the two tokens in return, "Have fun with your girl."
Eriol chuckled, "She isn't my girlfriend." The man cocked an eyebrow, chuckling, "She isn't? Well, you two do make a great pair." Tomoyo giggled as she took the tokens, "Thank you." Eriol smiled at Tomoyo, "Come on, let's ride!"
The man smiled as he watched them enter the cubicle. He sighed. Too bad they weren't a couple. They could have breaken the world record for being the cutest couple ever, he thought.
"This is indeed a Giant Ferris Wheel!" Eriol exclaimed as he looked out of the clear windows, "The wheel is huge! And to think we're going for ten rounds!" Tomoyo giggled as she plopped down on the seat, "And to think there's cushion here, too." Eriol turned around, amused, "There is?"
Eriol sat down and smiled, "It's wonderful." Tomoyo nodded as the cubicle took off. "Eriol, can I ask you something?" Eriol nodded, "Which is?"
"How's your family like? I've never got to meet with them." Tomoyo mentioned as Eriol shook his head, "I don't have a family." Tomoyo stopped, "You…don't?" Eriol smiled, "Of course I do. I mean, I believe I have one. But they kind of passed away when I was at birth. Clow told me that my mom died when she gave birth to me." Eriol bowed down his head, "I don't know about Dad…" Eriol looked up through the transparent glass ceiling, the stars shining through, "I never heard of him…"
Eriol smiled, "But I believe he's a nice man." Tomoyo beamed, "You can bet he is." Eriol sighed as he leant back on the bench, "You are so lucky, Tomoyo." Tomoyo looked amused, "Why?"
"At least you got to meet with your parents…I don't even know how mine looks like." Eriol unconsciously said, looking down at his feet. Silence when Tomoyo nodded, "I guess I am lucky…" Eriol stopped, "…How's Ottosan coming along?" Tomoyo shook her head, "I haven't heard of him yet. All I can do now is to pray for the best." Eriol smiled reassuringly, "Everything's gonna be ok." Tomoyo smiled, "I'm trying to hope so."
Eriol gazed up to the skies and sighed softly again.
"Don't you ever feel lonely in the world, Eriol?"
Eriol looked surprised when he gazed at Tomoyo, "Why?" Tomoyo bit her lips, looking down at her feet, "Because you have no one in the world. You're all alone." Eriol shook his head, "I got Ruby Moon and Spinel. I am never alone. No one is." Tomoyo slowly nodded, "I guess so."
Eriol shrugged, pondering hard before asking the question he had always wanted to know, "Tomoyo, who do you live with now that Okaasan is gone?"
Short silence.
"……Only Beeble." Tomoyo finally answered. Eriol raised an eyebrow, "Beeble? Who?" Tomoyo giggled, "My puppy." Eriol widened his eyes, "You've got a puppy!" Tomoyo nodded, "I do." Eriol looked at Tomoyo for a long time before speaking, "You don't feel alone at home?" Tomoyo shook her head, "Beeble has been a great friend to me these days."
Silence as the ferris wheel continued riding.
"Can I ask you a question, Eriol?" Tomoyo started.
Eriol nodded, "Sure. What do you want to know?"
Tomoyo's pulse raced, "…What if there's this person who likes you and…And…" Tomoyo looked at Eriol, "Will you give this person a chance or will you reject her because you're afraid to love again?"
That question made Eriol froze, looking at Tomoyo for a long moment.
"Afraid…" Eriol whispered, "Afraid to…l-love?" Tomoyo nodded.
A long deafening silence.
"I…I don't know." Eriol leant back on the seat, "I'm just sooo confused. First there was Kaho. We were almost an official couple seen by everyone. But because there was another man, Kaho left me…" Eriol hung down his head, "I…I got hurt…But there was Angeline who came in. She was a serious, mature lady and…we somehow got along with each other…But…But somehow…I couldn't laugh and smile along with her…" Eriol said, "Maybe because…she was too serious and quiet…"
Tomoyo smiled, "You don't have to worry, Eriol." Tomoyo gazed up to the skies, "Each and everyone has their own stars up, pasted on their heavens." Tomoyo smiled and looked down at Eriol, "And just look right above and you'll find your life partner right there." Eriol looked to the skies.
"Maybe…Maybe you're right…"
~
Eriol looked towards the direction where a soulful, sad melody was coming from…Eriol walked slowly towards the sounds of the tune as he stopped in front of the music room, silently twisting the metal knob and peeking in.
The music stopped.
Eriol entered the room, hearing muffling sounds…
Tomoyo.
Eriol quickly picked up his pace towards the bench where Tomoyo was sitted…
Wiping the tears away from her face.
Eriol sat down beside her, tipping her chin up, "Tomoyo! What's wrong!?" Tomoyo shook her head, drying the tears, "Nothing's wrong, Eriol. I'm fine." Tomoyo forced a smile, "Really." Eriol shook his head, "Don't lie to me, Tomoyo! Tell me!" A muffled cry managed to escape her lips as she desperately try to wipe the tears, "Everything's fine."
Eriol bit his lips, "…Ottosan…?" Tomoyo just nodded, "He…He passed away an hour ago in France…" Eriol widened his eyes, "…P-passed…away?" Tomoyo nodded, another tear brimming, "Hai…" Eriol wordlessly pulled Tomoyo into his arms as she finally broke down, "I can't be strong, Eriol…I tried already…I don't know why I'm breaking down like that…"
Eriol nodded, caressing her dark strands of hair, "I understand, Tomoyo. It takes time to go through everything…Once in a while, everybody just have to let the tears go…" Tomoyo nodded, "I guess…" Eriol pulled away, looking into her amethyst eyes, "How about I play you a nice song?" Tomoyo smiled faintly, "Ok…" Eriol laid his fingers over the keys as the tune of A Distant Shade Of Green rang out beautifully.
Tomoyo closed her eyes as she let the melody take her far, far away. She pictured herself in a garden full of blooming roses and her dad smiling down at her. She opened her eyes, a light smile touching her lips. Eriol looked at her, "Feeling better already?" Tomoyo smiled, "Hai. Thank you, Eriol. What's the song called?" "A Distant Shade of Green." Eriol answered.
"Can you teach me the song sometime? It's a very wonderful song." Tomoyo said as Eriol beamed, "No problem."
Tomoyo let out a slight yawn as she rubbed her eyes. Eriol looked at her, "Tired already?" Tomoyo stretched herself, "I guess." Eriol leant over and wiped the remaining tears away before pulling her into his arms, "Sleep then."
Tomoyo nodded as she leant her head against his chest, falling into a slumber. Eriol looked down at the petite form in his arms before smiling, leaning his head gently upon hers, falling into his own dreamworld.
"Oyasumi, Tomoyo-san…"
Tomoyo unconsciously let out an almost unheard whisper…
"Oyasumi, Eriol-san…"
