The guys were at their usual table at lunch. "Yo, dudes, we're gonna be watching a movie this Saturday night. It's Guys' Night, half price. Wanna come?" Tanaka asked.
Syaoran scowled at Eriol.
"It's the latest movie-- Return of the Zombie Part VII!" Hiroshii continued.
Eriol smirked. "No thanks. Haven't you heard? Mr. Smooth here-" he jerked his head, indicating Syaoran, "-has got a date with the hottest babe on campus." Well, the best friend of the hottest babe, anyway. Eriol thought.
Instantly the table quietened down. Conversations halted. All the guys turned to stare at Syaoran, who was shooting his famous death-glare at Eriol. If looks could kill, Eriol would've been in his coffin by now.
"You go, man!" Yamazaki exclaimed, slapping Syaoran on the back.
"Yeah, I mean, you haven't had a date since…" Tanaka turned to the other guys for help.
"Since forever," Eriol confirmed.
"This babe must be really great, huh? I mean, you turned down all the other chicks who asked you out,
and-- BAM!!! Finally a girl catches your eye!" Tanaka said.
"Not just any girl," Eriol added.
"Hottest girl in school? So who are you going out with?" Hiroshii asked. "Kinomoto? Daidouji? Or Mihara?"
"Not Daidouji." Eriol said firmly.
"Or Mihara." Yamazaki said, trying to sound nochalant.
"That Kinomoto chick?!? No way!" Hiroshii exclaimed.
Syaoran nodded slowly.
The other guys at the table stared at him enviously.
"She's exactly like you, man." Someone said. "Turns down every guy who asks her out."
"She turned me down," Someone else said wistfully. "A couple of times…"
"I have to tell you something important," Hiroshii said seriously. "You must treasure her."
The other guys nodded solemnly.
"Really treasure her." Hiroshii continued. "Her brother-- well, if you mess with Sakura, you mess with her brother." He gulped, as if remembering a past incident. "And - trust me - it won't be pretty."
Syaoran shrugged. "Okay." I'd never hurt Sakura in the first place. And I know what Touya is like. I don't have a death wish.
"Li, you are one lucky guy." Tanaka said.
You are so right. Syaoran thought. He tried not to preen. "It's just one date, and I was forced into it." He glared daggers at his best friend, who was winking at someone across the room.
Syaoran turned to see who Eriol was winking at. And saw a whole table of giggly girls. Sakura. And… Daidouji. Who was looking back at Eriol, a light blush on her face.
Hmm… things were gonna get interesting.
