Concealed Feelings
Chapter 9...Cherished Memories (this chapter is E+T)
Everyone was early to arrive at school even Sakura, which surprised everybody, all she said was that she got a good night sleep.
School went by pretty fast and then it was lunchtime, Syaoran and Sakura said that they couldn't join them because they have to talk about this project that they were partners on, Meiling and Jason coincidentally are partners and is in the same class as Syaoran and Sakura, and so Eriol and Tomoyo were by themselves.
They found a big thick tree that will make good use of shade, they went to sit at the other side so no one would see them or bother them, Eriol was sitting down and leaning against the tree while holding Tomoyo by her waist who was leaning against his chest.
Eriol looked down at her and said "Ashiteru Tomoyo," Tomoyo looked up and smile,
"Ashiteru Eriol," She whispered then leaned up while Eriol leaned down and their lips met in a loving kiss.
Then they broke it from lack of air, and they just sat there staring at the sky holding the one they loved.
They both recalled the time when they confessed their feelings for each other. It was something that neither of them would ever forget.
~~*~~*~~*Flashback*~~*~~*~~
13 year old Tomoyo, Eriol, Meiling and Sakura were in Sakura's room playing an a board game.
(Ok Meiling and Eriol stayed for 2 years unlike Syaoran he left when he was 12 but Meiling and Eriol left when they were 14, then they left for 3 years cause of some business I dunno)
Meiling and Sakura often caught Tomoyo and Eriol blushing at each other, so Meiling called Sakura outside to talk privately.
Sakura asked-what is it Meiling?
Meiling answered-did you see how Tomoyo and Eriol were blushing at each other?
Sakura-Yea, they really like each other, so?
Meiling squealed- SO?? So let's play matchmakers!
Sakura- Shhh! They might hear you! . matchmakers? I don't know.
Meilingg- C'mon Kinomoto! It'll be fun and we would be doing them a favor!
Sakura-. ok.. it does sound like fun.
Meiling- Yea! Now here's what we should do...
Then the two girls huddled up discussing their plans.
(sorry too lazy to write proper sentences..)
~~*~~*~~Back in Sakura's room where E+T is~~*~~*~~
~SILENCE~
Eriol sat there, across from him is Tomoyo, Eriol didn't like this uncomfortable silence between them and he didn't want her to get suspicious.
"So Daidoujii-san, what are you planning to do tomorrow?"
Tomoyo looked up when she heard his voice and answered, "Oh, I don't know, anything that comes up I guess."
"Oh I see" Was all Eriol said for he couldn't find anything else to say. Eriol decided that this was the right time and then he gathered up all his courage and said...
"Daidoujii-san...uhh d-do y-ou mmind I-I-if I call you Toomoyoo?"
(Did you actually think I make Eriol confess? Nope, not yet.)
Tomoyo looked up a little, `KAWAII! He wants to call me Tomoyo! (you know what I mean) Could it possibly mean that he has feelings for me? Nah! Who am I kidding, he probably just wants to be `GOOD' friends...' This went on for a while...
Eriol looked up, hoping to see SOME facial expression but he found none, Tomoyo seems to be deep in thought, `Oh Man! She probably is trying hard not to laugh at me.'
Then Tomoyo spoke up, "You can call me Tomoyo if only you let me call you Eriol,"
Eriol looked up, his genuine smile on his face and said, "Deal"
They then started to talk about school and stuff while playing Scrambles when Meiling and Sakura walked in the room.
Tomoyo asked to two new matchmakers, "Where were you guys? What were you doing outside that took you two so long?"
Sakura and Meiling had a few sweatdrops rolling down the back of their heads, Meiling quickly tried to make up an excuse while trying not to be suspicious, "W-we were ooout....get-ting some snacks `yeah that's it', right Sakura?"
Meiling nudge Sakura and Sakura quickly said, "YEAH, we were out getting snacks."
Eriol raised an eyebrow, "you guys spent this whole time getting out snacks?"
"Yep."
"Well?"
Well what?"
"Where are the snacks then?"
Now bunches of sweatdrops rolled down at the back of Sakura's and Meiling's head, Sakura tried her best to answer, she knew Eriol or Tomoyo were not that dense.
"We ate all of it!! Heh heh!" Sakura said rather quickly.
Now it was Tomoyo's turn to raise `the' eyebrow. "You said you went out all this time just to get snacks, now you say that you ate ALL of it?"
"Umm ye-YEAH!!!" Both girls said at the same time.
"...Anyways, let's play something else besides scramble, ummm how about *she pretends to think* we play...TRUTH OR DARE?? (Yup that popular game.) Meiling suddenly said hoping to change the subject. 'Time to start Get Together Plan: Phase 1.'
"Truth or dare?" Tomoyo said uneasily, she knew something wasn't right but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
"Yeah truth or dare that sounds fun." Sakura said completing phase 1.
And they played that for a while starting with little dares and truths, but then they started to get bigger, and it was Meiling's turn, "I choose...Eriol, Eriol truth or dare?" Eriol smile his genuine smile and said `truth'.
Meiling had this weird smile that will scare any little kid away, (hahah)"Eriol, scale of 1-10, what do you think of Tomoyo?"
Tomoyo automatically blushed while Eriol was slightly red, he was trying very hard not to blush but they just seem to creep up on you. Eriol replied to the `truth', took one look at Tomoyo and said rather calmly, "10." Tomoyo blushed.(again!)The matchmakers burst out in a fit of giggles.
Now it was Eriol's turn, he looked at Sakura, she gulped, "Sooo, Sakura- Chan truth or dare?" Sakura couldn't say truth because she already said three truths in a row, so she had no other choice but to say, "dare." Eriol smile, but this time it was creepy which made Sakura tremor.
"Sakura-Chan I dare you to run around the house flapping your arms around gawking like a chicken."
"HOEE?" (You should know who said that)
"That's the dare Sakura-chan, unless you want to quit, that's fine with me..."
"No fine I'll do it" sakura said confidently. Tomoyo and Meiling were snickering. "Okay then, you could start now," Eriol said with this glint in his eye behind his glasses.
Sakura stood up, and went out her room, put her hands under her underarms, making her elbows stick out (you guys know what I mean, if you don't she's impersonating a chicken hehe) , started flapping them up and down and gawking, "B-ba-ba-bawk!! She yelled while running down the stairs, around the bottom floor then back up. Tomoyo of course had her trust camera recording the scene, while giggling.
Touya and Yukito went out from studying once they heard all the noise, and Touya gave Sakura this weird look, "Are you alright, kaijuu?? Why are you being a chicken?"
Sakura blushed of embarrassment, but she finally finished her dare, and she looked up at Touya and kicked him in the shins, smiled sweetly and said, "I am NOT a kaijuu, and everything is fine."
(HAHAH can you really imagine Sakura doing that? Acting like a chicken?? HAHAHA!!! I'm weird hehe)
Then Meiling and Tomoyo burst out laughing, while Eriol was chuckling.
Then went back to Sakura's room to continue playing. Sakura looked at Tomoyo and she just smiled, "Tomoyo truth or dare?"
Tomoyo, like Sakura had said truth 3 times in a row, so she too have no choice but to say "dare,"
"OKAY!! *Sakura said while clapping her hands once*, I dare you to kiss Eriol-kun on the cheek AND you have to stay there for 30 seconds!"
"WHAT?!?!" Tomoyo exclaimed, and this time Eriol was really blushing.
"You know Tomoyo, you could quit."
Tomoyo grunted and looked towards Eriol who blushed even harder and leaned towards Eriol and put her soft lips on Eriol's cheek and placed it on where Meiling had a small stopwatch in one of her hands timing for 30 seconds. Tomoyo's lips were on Eriol's cheek and both were both blushing madly, `what kind of dare is this?'
"25, 26, 27, 28,29 and 30! There" Meiling exclaimed. Tomoyo got off Eriol and both still wore a brilliant shade of red.
`Phase 2 complete hehe'
Sakura yawned and look at her clock and it read 10:00pm.
"Oh no, I have to go home, Meiling exclaimed. "I'll walk you home," Sakura offered.
"I must be getting home too, I'll have to leave now since I'm walking," Tomoyo spoke up still red.
(Why doesn't she have a limo pick her up you ask? Well just say ummm... they are off duty, -_-;;;)
"I'll walk you home, Tomoyo." Eriol offered being the gentleman he is.
"I would like that Eriol, arigato."
Sakura put her hands on her hips and said in this weird tone of hers, "What are you guys on, a first name basis now? How KwaIi!! (She is imitating Tomoyo for those of you who don't know) `hehe phase 3 and also the final phase, is COMPLETED hehe'
They blush once again, Sakura told Touya that she is going to walk Meiling, and then they left leaving Eriol and Tomoyo.
Eriol and Tomoyo walked down the stairs and Eriol of course opened the door for Tomoyo, and they walked down the sidewalk by each other's side.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (ok guys this is the part where I reedited it) ~~~~~~~~~
This night seemed to be especially beautiful, as if it was set up for them. Stars were everywhere, shining brightly like little diamonds scattered in the dark black sky. They passed the park with the cherry blossom trees, the soft breeze brushes its wind against the cherry blossoms causing some to fly adrift and sailed slowly onto the ground.
Behind each bench was a small patch of beautiful wild flowers, and the stars glow gave a radiant glow throughout the park. Tomoyo's lilac eyes sparkled at the beauty of Tomoeda at night.
After several minutes of silence, Tomoyo wanted to break the uncomfortable stillness but before she had a chance to do so, her heel sandals got caught in a big crack in the sidewalk and her ankle was twisted a bit, she let out a gasp of pain and was about to fall forward when Eriol immediately caught her. "Are you alright?" Eriol looked at her alert lavender eyes with his amazing soft, sapphire eyes, which was filled with concern.
Tomoyo bit her lip because of the pain shooting through her body. "H-hai.. She replied shakily. Eriol picked her up, doing this action caused them both to blush but Eriol pushed that aside and set her in a sitting position on the bench. He scrunched down and removed her sandals, then her socks. He took a hold of her small foot in his hand and examined it.
Tomoyo from above looked at him while he inspect if there was any serious injury. She knew it and couldn't deny it anymore. She loved him, for how long she wasn't positive but she knew she was in love with him. Not puppy love or anything but real love. Sure, people would say that she is too young to understand love much less then experience it. But she did experience it, of course she didn't understand love, but she felt it with him.
As for Eriol, of course he was in love with this angel, he always loved her, from her energy, her kindness, her sweetness, her creativity, her skills, her beauty, her compassion, her courage. He could go on and on. (Thank goodness he didn't...) But of course was frighten to tell her, fearing that she would just laugh at him but knowing her, she wouldn't laugh at him but would just say as sweetly and kindly as she could that it wouldn't work out.
Tomoyo watched him; from being above him she saw his neat midnight blue hair and the front folds of his hair covered half of his eyes.
Eriol look at her ankle, it was twisted slightly, and was a bit swollen, and he placed his hands gently on her ankle muttered a quick spell, his hands glowed blue and so did her ankle. The purple on it was gone.
Eriol stood up, "I don't think you can walk on your own on this condition, your ankle is fine but it will ache. I guess I will have to carry you." Eriol wasn't bothered by the idea at hall. To have this angel in his arms..
"No, that's quite alright, I can manage, I don't want to bother you."
Eriol smiled, always thinking of others before own self.
"Iie, its not a bother at all and I will carry you home and that's that, besides you aren't heavy at all."
Tomoyo blushed, she knew she couldn't win the battle so she said thank you.
"Is it ok if we stayed here a bit longer?" Tomoyo looked pleadingly at him.
Eriol smiled at this adorable look this girl was giving him. "Sure." He sat down on the seat next to her.
Tomoyo looked at the star-filled sky and sighed. Being here next to him was torture, she wanted to hear him say I love you to her yet she knew it wasn't impossible and she didn't dare dream the impossible.
Eriol noticed her sigh and asked her if there's anything wrong? She replied with a soft voice, 'nothing.'
Eriol wasn't convinced and by the look in her eyes, she seemed to be hiding something.... something that needed to be released. And he was determined to get it out of her. "You're lying." Eriol stated, not taking his stare off of her.
Tomoyo diverted her gaze from the starry night to Eriol's concerned warm dark blue eyes. "It's nothing... really, don't worry about it."
"...Tomoyo.." Eriol warningly said, "Please don't hide it from me."
Should she tell him? The problem is about HIM after all.. but she wanted his opinion in a situation like this.
"Well there's this wonderful guy that I love, but I don't know how to tell him...I mean I don't want to risk our friendship"
These words stabbed his heart and he tried his best not to give out anything away on his face. 'So she loves another already, what a baka I been. I'll never have a chance with her... I might as well go along with it..'
"I think you should tell him how you feel." Tomoyo looked up at him like a cute little girl with her violet eyes round and shining and this look urging him to continue. "Tell him before he moves on or you'll regret it. You're a very beautiful and sweet girl Tomoyo; I don't think he could ever reject you."
Tomoyo blushed but she knew that he would say that to every girl in that condition.
"But what if he doesn't feel the same way..." Tomoyo's gaze never left the sky.
Eriol looked at her. Her pale skin seemed to be absorbing the moonlight, making it glow. His mouth went dry, whoever she was in love with, he is one lucky guy. "He won't, don't worry about it. And for some odd reason that he doesn't return your feelings.... then at least you know instead of wondering." 'She loves another, so it won't matter telling her right?
"You know Tomoyo," Tomoyo turned to look at Eriol who seemed to have a hard time talking, Eriol's azure eyes were set on the sky, "I have the same problem as you. There is this great girl who I am too in love with and I'm having a problem telling her.."
Tomoyo's eyes started to get watery. 'He loves another, what a fool I been telling him that...' She quickly turned away and wiped her tears before they fell down her cheek. Tomoyo decided to make the best of it.
"Eriol, lets make a promise, that we will tell our loved ones how we feel soon...before we lose them," 'This is one promise that I'm going to have to break...'
Eriol put on a strained smiled, '... I already lost her,'
"Promise." Tomoyo smiled. And they continued to look at the sparkling diamonds that lit up the night sky, side by side.
'Eriol, you got to tell her now! You have to get it out! Tell her.... tell her that you love her, this is the perfect time, she has a right to know.' His conscious commanded him.
Eriol sighed and gave in. "....Tomoyo..." Eriol began, his gaze never leaving the sky even though he could feel her stare on him; he forced himself not to look at her that would just make it harder to tell her, "I have something to tell you." He could feel her patient wearing thin. "Well we made a promise together and I'm going to do it..."
Tomoyo was confused. Promise? They promised that they will tell the one that they loved their true feelings so what was he talking about?
"Tomoyo, I shouldn't be telling you this but I really need to tell you, and I know that you love another... but I really have to tell you an I don't expect you to return my feelings.."
Though Tomoyo was thoroughly confused she was catching on.... 'but, but... it can't be, am I hearing things?"
"Tomoyo, the girl who I was in love with was... you. All this time it was you. It always was and always will be even though I know you can't accept my feelings. It won't change, I will love you forever and it's not going to change"
Before Tomoyo even had a chance to register what Eriol had said, he continued without giving her a chance to speak.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have told you, I hope we can still be friends..... Daidoujii-san." Eriol sat up to leave so he wouldn't have to face her just so she could reject him.
But when he was going to take his first step someone had grabbed his wrist.
He turned around to see a Tomoyo holding his wrist, and she had a small smile on which confused him and on her eyes are clusters of tears, one slowly fell down her face, and sat on the edge on her chin, not falling just yet. Another tear went down and followed the wet trail of the previous tear and joined the tear, the last tear now weighed down with another tear slide off her chin. It formed a perfect sphere and it fell and fell until it hit the ground and made a small splash. A few more followed.
"Tomoyo? Gomen nasai, I did not mean to upset you."
Tomoyo's smiled broaden a bit. "Mou.. Eriol, you're so mean.. my ankle is still numb and I thought you were going to carry me home?" Her voice was still a bit shaken up yet it had a hint of teasing in them. She still couldn't believe it.. Eriol lover her... HER! The person who he loved all along was her!
Eriol gave a small frail smile; he knew that she was being nice. But he's going to have to carry her home anyway, and he knew it was going to be hard thing to do.
"We should be going now. It's getting to be very late." Tomoyo nodded not still believing that the boy that she was deeply in loved with was also in love with her.
Eriol leaned down and dug his arms under the bend of her legs and slipped the other around her waist. He lifted her up and she was light, just as he expected. Tomoyo snuggled in his chest in breathed in deeply his invigorating fragrance. Eriol blushed lightly but she quickly shook his head, ridding of the angel in his head, she wasn't his.
Eriol took his first step and was about to take his second when Tomoyo stopped him, "Eriol..."
Eriol didn't look down, he knew if he did he would look at her and would melt at her beauty and just looking at her after just being rejected hurt.
"Hai?" He responded melancholy. His expression was stone hard. He was sort of mad at her, but he knew he had no right to be, he couldn't be selfish.
Tomoyo raised her arms and gently touched Eriol's face; she cupped his face and made him look at her. Eriol looked at her, dazed and confused.
"Aishiteru." Tomoyo smiled through her tears.
Eriol's expression soften, he didn't know whether she was trying to make him feel better and was willing to be his pretend girlfriend or she really have meant it.
(please note that Eriol is still carrying her, he's just standing still)
But hearing that word come out of her mouth.... even though his mind was telling him that she was trying to make him feel better his heart seemed to jump at that word, as is she really meant it and jolts of happiness traveled through his body. But he looked up ahead of him and closed his eyes. He rid of the thought and scolded himself for even thinking that she loved him, that she was his. It wasn't true. It is only his fantasy.
"Daidoujii-san... you needn't try to make me feel better, I accepted it. I hope we can still remain as friends.." He kept his eyes t distant, not wanting to look at her.
Tomoyo frowned at the 'Daidoujii-san', but it was her fault, she should have given him an answer. She was hurting him.
"Eriol look at me." Tomoyo said softly.
Eriol didn't heed to her request.
"Onegai.... Eriol look at me." Tomoyo said pleadingly, her voice was cracking up.
Eriol couldn't keep up with ignoring her any longer and it made him miserable hearing her tone. He turned to look at her.
"Look into my eyes Eriol, I am not lying to you, I truly love you. That boy whom I loved all along was you... Please believe me, I would not lie to you."
Eriol looked in her clear amethyst eyes; her tears gave it a sparkling shine. He looked deep into her amazing violet orbs. She wasn't lying.
Tomoyo's expression never changed while Eriol was inspecting her. She was still ecstatic over the idea of Eriol loving her.
Eriol could see something reflecting off her eyes.....love?
Eriol smiled, "Do you really mean it though?.." He couldn't resist, he had to make sure.
"Yes I do Eriol, I love you." Tomoyo looked at him with her clear violet eyes glistening.
Eriol smiled broadly, he feel like his heart was about to burst open.
Eriol leaned down until their faces were just an inch apart. Tomoyo smiled and nodded, giving him permission.
Eriol smiled and leaned down and Tomoyo leaned up, mimicking him and their lips touched.... and were met in a loving kiss.

(HAHAH can you really imagine Sakura doing that? Acting like a chicken?? HAHAHA!!! I'm weird hehe)
Then Meiling and Tomoyo burst out laughing, while Eriol was chuckling.

Tomoyo grunted and looked towards Eriol who blushed even harder and leaned towards Eriol and put her soft lips on Eriol's cheek and placed it on where Meiling had a small stopwatch in one of her hands timing for 30 seconds. Tomoyo's lips were on Eriol's cheek and both were both blushing madly, `what kind of dare is this?'
"25, 26, 27, 28,29 and 30! There" Meiling exclaimed. Tomoyo got off Eriol and both still wore a brilliant shade of red.
`Phase 2 complete hehe'
Sakura yawned and look at her clock and it read 10:00pm.
"Oh no, I have to go home, Meiling exclaimed. "I'll walk you home," Sakura offered.
"I must be getting home too, I'll have to leave now since I'm walking," Tomoyo spoke up still red.
(Why doesn't she have a limo pick her up you ask? Well just say ummm... they are off duty, -_-;;;)
"I'll walk you home, Tomoyo." Eriol offered being the gentleman he is.
"I would like that Eriol, arigato."
Sakura put her hands on her hips and said in this weird tone of hers, "What are you guys on, a first name basis now? How KwaIi!! (She is imitating Tomoyo for those of you who don't know) `hehe phase 3 and also the final phase, is COMPLETED hehe'
They blush once again, Sakura told Touya that she is going to walk Meiling, and then they left leaving Eriol and Tomoyo.
Eriol and Tomoyo walked down the stairs and Eriol of course opened the door for Tomoyo, and they walked down the sidewalk by each other's side.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (ok guys this is the part where I reedited it) ~~~~~~~~~
This night seemed to be especially beautiful, as if it was set up for them. Stars were everywhere, shining brightly like little diamonds scattered in the dark black sky. They passed the park with the cherry blossom trees, the soft breeze brushes its wind against the cherry blossoms causing some to fly adrift and sailed slowly onto the ground.
Behind each bench was a small patch of beautiful wild flowers, and the stars glow gave a radiant glow throughout the park. Tomoyo's lilac eyes sparkled at the beauty of Tomoeda at night.
After several minutes of silence, Tomoyo wanted to break the uncomfortable stillness but before she had a chance to do so, her heel sandals got caught in a big crack in the sidewalk and her ankle was twisted a bit, she let out a gasp of pain and was about to fall forward when Eriol immediately caught her. "Are you alright?" Eriol looked at her alert lavender eyes with his amazing soft, sapphire eyes, which was filled with concern.
Tomoyo bit her lip because of the pain shooting through her body. "H-hai.. She replied shakily. Eriol picked her up, doing this action caused them both to blush but Eriol pushed that aside and set her in a sitting position on the bench. He scrunched down and removed her sandals, then her socks. He took a hold of her small foot in his hand and examined it.
Tomoyo from above looked at him while he inspect if there was any serious injury. She knew it and couldn't deny it anymore. She loved him, for how long she wasn't positive but she knew she was in love with him. Not puppy love or anything but real love. Sure, people would say that she is too young to understand love much less then experience it. But she did experience it, of course she didn't understand love, but she felt it with him.
As for Eriol, of course he was in love with this angel, he always loved her, from her energy, her kindness, her sweetness, her creativity, her skills, her beauty, her compassion, her courage. He could go on and on. (Thank goodness he didn't...) But of course was frighten to tell her, fearing that she would just laugh at him but knowing her, she wouldn't laugh at him but would just say as sweetly and kindly as she could that it wouldn't work out.
Tomoyo watched him; from being above him she saw his neat midnight blue hair and the front folds of his hair covered half of his eyes.
Eriol look at her ankle, it was twisted slightly, and was a bit swollen, and he placed his hands gently on her ankle muttered a quick spell, his hands glowed blue and so did her ankle. The purple on it was gone.
Eriol stood up, "I don't think you can walk on your own on this condition, your ankle is fine but it will ache. I guess I will have to carry you." Eriol wasn't bothered by the idea at hall. To have this angel in his arms..
"No, that's quite alright, I can manage, I don't want to bother you."
Eriol smiled, always thinking of others before own self.
"Iie, its not a bother at all and I will carry you home and that's that, besides you aren't heavy at all."
Tomoyo blushed, she knew she couldn't win the battle so she said thank you.
"Is it ok if we stayed here a bit longer?" Tomoyo looked pleadingly at him.
Eriol smiled at this adorable look this girl was giving him. "Sure." He sat down on the seat next to her.
Tomoyo looked at the star-filled sky and sighed. Being here next to him was torture, she wanted to hear him say I love you to her yet she knew it wasn't impossible and she didn't dare dream the impossible.
Eriol noticed her sigh and asked her if there's anything wrong? She replied with a soft voice, 'nothing.'
Eriol wasn't convinced and by the look in her eyes, she seemed to be hiding something.... something that needed to be released. And he was determined to get it out of her. "You're lying." Eriol stated, not taking his stare off of her.
Tomoyo diverted her gaze from the starry night to Eriol's concerned warm dark blue eyes. "It's nothing... really, don't worry about it."
"...Tomoyo.." Eriol warningly said, "Please don't hide it from me."
Should she tell him? The problem is about HIM after all.. but she wanted his opinion in a situation like this.
"Well there's this wonderful guy that I love, but I don't know how to tell him...I mean I don't want to risk our friendship"
These words stabbed his heart and he tried his best not to give out anything away on his face. 'So she loves another already, what a baka I been. I'll never have a chance with her... I might as well go along with it..'
"I think you should tell him how you feel." Tomoyo looked up at him like a cute little girl with her violet eyes round and shining and this look urging him to continue. "Tell him before he moves on or you'll regret it. You're a very beautiful and sweet girl Tomoyo; I don't think he could ever reject you."
Tomoyo blushed but she knew that he would say that to every girl in that condition.
"But what if he doesn't feel the same way..." Tomoyo's gaze never left the sky.
Eriol looked at her. Her pale skin seemed to be absorbing the moonlight, making it glow. His mouth went dry, whoever she was in love with, he is one lucky guy. "He won't, don't worry about it. And for some odd reason that he doesn't return your feelings.... then at least you know instead of wondering." 'She loves another, so it won't matter telling her right?
"You know Tomoyo," Tomoyo turned to look at Eriol who seemed to have a hard time talking, Eriol's azure eyes were set on the sky, "I have the same problem as you. There is this great girl who I am too in love with and I'm having a problem telling her.."
Tomoyo's eyes started to get watery. 'He loves another, what a fool I been telling him that...' She quickly turned away and wiped her tears before they fell down her cheek. Tomoyo decided to make the best of it.
"Eriol, lets make a promise, that we will tell our loved ones how we feel soon...before we lose them," 'This is one promise that I'm going to have to break...'
Eriol put on a strained smiled, '... I already lost her,'
"Promise." Tomoyo smiled. And they continued to look at the sparkling diamonds that lit up the night sky, side by side.
'Eriol, you got to tell her now! You have to get it out! Tell her.... tell her that you love her, this is the perfect time, she has a right to know.' His conscious commanded him.
Eriol sighed and gave in. "....Tomoyo..." Eriol began, his gaze never leaving the sky even though he could feel her stare on him; he forced himself not to look at her that would just make it harder to tell her, "I have something to tell you." He could feel her patient wearing thin. "Well we made a promise together and I'm going to do it..."
Tomoyo was confused. Promise? They promised that they will tell the one that they loved their true feelings so what was he talking about?
"Tomoyo, I shouldn't be telling you this but I really need to tell you, and I know that you love another... but I really have to tell you an I don't expect you to return my feelings.."
Though Tomoyo was thoroughly confused she was catching on.... 'but, but... it can't be, am I hearing things?"
"Tomoyo, the girl who I was in love with was... you. All this time it was you. It always was and always will be even though I know you can't accept my feelings. It won't change, I will love you forever and it's not going to change"
Before Tomoyo even had a chance to register what Eriol had said, he continued without giving her a chance to speak.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have told you, I hope we can still be friends..... Daidoujii-san." Eriol sat up to leave so he wouldn't have to face her just so she could reject him.
But when he was going to take his first step someone had grabbed his wrist.
He turned around to see a Tomoyo holding his wrist, and she had a small smile on which confused him and on her eyes are clusters of tears, one slowly fell down her face, and sat on the edge on her chin, not falling just yet. Another tear went down and followed the wet trail of the previous tear and joined the tear, the last tear now weighed down with another tear slide off her chin. It formed a perfect sphere and it fell and fell until it hit the ground and made a small splash. A few more followed.
"Tomoyo? Gomen nasai, I did not mean to upset you."
Tomoyo's smiled broaden a bit. "Mou.. Eriol, you're so mean.. my ankle is still numb and I thought you were going to carry me home?" Her voice was still a bit shaken up yet it had a hint of teasing in them. She still couldn't believe it.. Eriol lover her... HER! The person who he loved all along was her!
Eriol gave a small frail smile; he knew that she was being nice. But he's going to have to carry her home anyway, and he knew it was going to be hard thing to do.
"We should be going now. It's getting to be very late." Tomoyo nodded not still believing that the boy that she was deeply in loved with was also in love with her.
Eriol leaned down and dug his arms under the bend of her legs and slipped the other around her waist. He lifted her up and she was light, just as he expected. Tomoyo snuggled in his chest in breathed in deeply his invigorating fragrance. Eriol blushed lightly but she quickly shook his head, ridding of the angel in his head, she wasn't his.
Eriol took his first step and was about to take his second when Tomoyo stopped him, "Eriol..."
Eriol didn't look down, he knew if he did he would look at her and would melt at her beauty and just looking at her after just being rejected hurt.
"Hai?" He responded melancholy. His expression was stone hard. He was sort of mad at her, but he knew he had no right to be, he couldn't be selfish.
Tomoyo raised her arms and gently touched Eriol's face; she cupped his face and made him look at her. Eriol looked at her, dazed and confused.
"Aishiteru." Tomoyo smiled through her tears.
Eriol's expression soften, he didn't know whether she was trying to make him feel better and was willing to be his pretend girlfriend or she really have meant it.
(please note that Eriol is still carrying her, he's just standing still)
But hearing that word come out of her mouth.... even though his mind was telling him that she was trying to make him feel better his heart seemed to jump at that word, as is she really meant it and jolts of happiness traveled through his body. But he looked up ahead of him and closed his eyes. He rid of the thought and scolded himself for even thinking that she loved him, that she was his. It wasn't true. It is only his fantasy.
"Daidoujii-san... you needn't try to make me feel better, I accepted it. I hope we can still remain as friends.." He kept his eyes t distant, not wanting to look at her.
Tomoyo frowned at the 'Daidoujii-san', but it was her fault, she should have given him an answer. She was hurting him.
"Eriol look at me." Tomoyo said softly.
Eriol didn't heed to her request.
"Onegai.... Eriol look at me." Tomoyo said pleadingly, her voice was cracking up.
Eriol couldn't keep up with ignoring her any longer and it made him miserable hearing her tone. He turned to look at her.
"Look into my eyes Eriol, I am not lying to you, I truly love you. That boy whom I loved all along was you... Please believe me, I would not lie to you."
Eriol looked in her clear amethyst eyes; her tears gave it a sparkling shine. He looked deep into her amazing violet orbs. She wasn't lying.
Tomoyo's expression never changed while Eriol was inspecting her. She was still ecstatic over the idea of Eriol loving her.
Eriol could see something reflecting off her eyes.....love?
Eriol smiled, "Do you really mean it though?.." He couldn't resist, he had to make sure.
"Yes I do Eriol, I love you." Tomoyo looked at him with her clear violet eyes glistening.
Eriol smiled broadly, he feel like his heart was about to burst open.
Eriol leaned down until their faces were just an inch apart. Tomoyo smiled and nodded, giving him permission.
Eriol smiled and leaned down and Tomoyo leaned up, mimicking him and their lips touched.... and were met in a loving kiss.
