Summary: Someone Tomoyo loves passes away. Being her boyfriend, Eriol, will try to cheer her up by singing. In the beginning is sad, but it just gets sweeter by the moment…I think. Like ALL my other stories this is also an E+T.
The bitter cold winter was a pond Tomoeda, Japan. There was a big crowd at the church. Inside you can see people wearing black, mourning and crying for a lost life. Exactly one week ago Sonomi Daidouji had sadly been killed in a hit and run.
Tomoyo Daidouji sat at the front row trying so hard to stop the tears that ruins her perfect smooth face. Her boyfriend, Eriol Hiiragizawa, trying to comfort her, but the salty tears kept on rowing down. She had just turned 18 not too long ago. Her life was perfect. She had her mother to confide in, a boyfriend that loves you as he does you, a lot of friends that care about her. Now it seemed that the world is finally showing her it's true colors.
Black. Darkness. That was what the world had suddenly become for her. Her perfect life crushed, like her mother. She broke into more tears when she had to walk to her mother's body to give her a flower. Eriol supporting her because she was too scared. She didn't want to realize that her mother was dead, that her family is dead. She had no one to go to, but Eriol.
Sakura and Syaoran had left for Hong Kong long ago. They called and write often, but she didn't want to make Sakura come back for her because of the hell she is living. Touya and Yukito had gotten married and went off somewhere.
The ceremony was soon over as Tomoyo and Eriol made their way back to Hiiragizawa mansion. Tomoyo had been staying with Eriol for that past agonizing week. She didn't want to go back to the mansion that she had shared with her mother. Now that place seemed so empty and cold without Sonomi.
Okay when she was little and had a crush on Sakura her mother wasn't always there for her. When Sakura left with Syaoran around four years ago Sonomi had found a lot of time for her. She cried and cried about how no one will ever love her the way she wanted to be loved. The twist was the reincarnation of Clow Reed had came back to Japan a month or two later. He had broken up with Kaho because of mutually agreements.
Tomoyo was so happy that her mother was there when she needed someone to comfort her. Telling her that everything will work out. In a way it has. Eriol had swept her off her feet in one single year and had confessed his love for her when they went strolling one spring day.
She ran to Eriol's room, which she has slept in before. Eriol had given her his room to sleep in because to her it was more secure.
Eriol watched as she drifted farther way from him. Every night he watched as Tomoyo cried herself to sleep. How his heart wrenched, twisted and turned at Tomoyo's pain. This was the cost of love. To feel so much emotion of pain when the one you love the most is moaning for her dead mother.
Tomoyo didn't feel well so she climbed into bed after changing to her pajamas. In her dreamed she was perfectly happy. She dreamt that everyone she knew and loved was there...including her mother. She woken up after a few hours and went downstairs to see where Eriol was. She and him hadn't talked for sometime now because of her mother's death. The only thing she did was cry on him while he tried to make her better.
When she went into the dining room to look for him she saw the table lit with candlelights and dishes full of food. Eriol came in from the kitchen holding two plates of something unknown since it was covered. She looked at him confused.
"I just wanted to make something special for you." Eriol replied to the unsaid question.
Tomoyo nodded. God how much she needed him in her life to make everything all right. If it wasn't for him she would be so lost and so alone. She was afraid that he someday might leave her just like her mother and Sakura did. She couldn't bare it if Eriol left. He means so much...Too much to her.
Eriol went to Tomoyo and pulled the chair for her to sit in. Tomoyo smiled at him. He smiled back. Eriol went to the other side of the table and they began to eat in silence. They had a lot to say to each other, but knew that it would not help now. This was a peaceful moment where everything was calm and enjoyful.
After dinner Eriol took Tomoyo's pale hands and pulled her near the living room. Tomoyo was wide-eyed as she saw what Eriol had done to the place. The only thing there now was his red chair and...A microphone? Tomoyo looked at Eriol, but he just usher her to sit down on his red chair.
Tomoyo and his eyes locked. Never leaving one another he went up to the microphone and speak through it. "I, Eriol, dedicate this song to you...Tomoyo." That was all he said when music suddenly filled the room. Eriol's voice came next as he began to sing.
As Eriol finished his song, Tomoyo still looked confused, but so much better. She knew that he would never leave her. The way he sang it to her just made her all floaty and so loved. She knew that Eriol could bring back the happiness she lost when her mother passed away.
Eriol slowly walked up to her. She still is looking into his dark loving azure eyes as he walked inch-by-inch closer. When Tomoyo thought he was going to hug her and say everything was all right, he surprised her.
Eriol kneel down on one knee and held out a small blue-purplish box. He opened it. She looked down at it. What shown was a ring that was the loviest she had ever seen. There was amethyst on one side in the middle was a square diamond that has a pink heart in it and the other side was sapphire. She gasp at the sight...Not only at it's beauty, but what he was getting at.
Her eyes looked back at Eriol. 'How can someone propose when her only family member just died?' She asked herself, but kept quiet.
"I know Tomoyo. You must think I'm crazy to ask you to marry me now. Mostly with recent events, but why not start our own family, Tomoyo. Your mother, Sonomi, already knew that I was going to purpose...I asked her permission first of course. No matter what happens she will watch over you...As will I. So Tomoyo, will you marry me?" He said this the best way he can and he didn't know what to do if she said 'no'.
She didn't know what to say...except..."Eriol?..." She began. How will she put this into words. "...Is that even a question?" She smiled at him. "Of course I'll marry you. Mother would have been so happy to see you marry me. She wanted me to marry someone I can't live without and I cannot ever live without you." She said as her new fiancée hugged her screaming out of joy and thanking Kami that he found someone as precious as her.
Watching from above Tomoyo's mother and Clow Reed watched as the two kissed and hugged each other. Clow Reed was happy for his reincarnation. Clow would have never believed that their loved could had made it because of his old love for Kaho could have affected his reincarnation. Yet here they are, so deep in love. Some fate, huh?
Sonomi watched as her daughter and his son and law dance to music that Eriol had put on. She was so happy for them. She had wished on her deathbed that Eriol would finally ask Tomoyo. She knew that he might need more time mostly after her death, but he made it. He did it and she said 'yes'.
What more can a mother ask for?
What more can Eriol and Tomoyo ask for?
Their life was perfect. Even with or without their friends and family they were happy.
As long as they were together there is nothing that they can't get through.
They were in love and they are getting married.
"When?" Tomoyo asked. The question popped into her head so fast. Eriol looked at her.
"I haven't thought of that..." Eriol began and was soon hit over the head by Tomoyo. It wasn't hard, but he still yelled in pain.
"WHAT?" Tomoyo screamed.
"Tomoyo calm down. The wedding can be whenever you like. You are the bride you can make the decisions. I will love it when and wherever we will have it. Besides with your taste there is no problem." He said pulling her into a hug.
She calmed down. He was right. Suddenly ideas jumped all over her brain and she started talking about the wedding and when or where or who...
That night at the Hiiragizawa mansion you can hear screams of the crazy lady planning her wedding and a guy going insane because his future wife won't let him get rest.
It seemed like they were married already even without all those things about how they are going to be together forever, 'in sickness and in health'. They knew that they were going to be together forever. Without words they express themselves, without words they express their love.
The End
