Okay, that's enough chitchat from me. On with the next chapter!
Chapter 11: Yukito
"Hiiragizawa-kun sure has a big room," Yukito said as Tomoyo-chan and him entered Hiiragizawa-kun's room. Tomoyo-chan smiled.
"This is the master's bedroom Yukito-san, so naturally, it should be big," she replied, moving towards the bed where a small lump was sleeping happily. Yukito looked around the room. The walls were royal blue while the ceiling and floor were white. Hiiragizawa-kun's bed was enormous, and he had one of those beds with the curtains and poles on each corner of the bed. The sheets and the curtains of the bed were also royal blue that matched the walls. Hiiragizawa-kun also had royal blue and white pillows. Yukito noticed that beside his bed was a window that led to a balcony. There were many pictures hanging on the wall, and it mostly consists of Hiiragizawa-kun, Nakuru and Spinel Sun.
"He's very neat," Yukito finally said, and inwardly chuckled at his compliment. Tomoyo-chan understood him though, and giggled while removing settling herself on the bed beside Spinel.
"He's neat, yes, but I always wanted to redecorate his room because it's too blue, but Eriol-kun is just too stubborn!" she exclaimed, looking at Spinel Sun. Yukito moved to the bed and sat himself at the edge, staring at Tomoyo-chan while she stroked Hiiragizawa-kun's Sun guardian.
"You care a lot about Spinel Sun, don't you?" he asked. Tomoyo-chan gave him a thoughtful look.
"Of course I do," she replied, staring back at Spinel Sun.
"He's the only one other than Eriol-kun that can read me like a book," she continued, giggling. Yukito stared fondly at the raven-haired girl. They were never really good friends before, but after learning that his other half, Yue, was to protect Sakura, Yukito found himself looking out for Tomoyo-chan like a sister that he never had.
Sure, Touya-kun acts more like a brother to Tomoyo-chan than Yukito, but it never stopped him to take care of her, since Touya-kun was now occupied with Sakura, Li-kun and Li-chan that he really didn't have time to watch over Tomoyo-chan. Yukito gladly took this job because he can't stand to see Tomoyo-chan feeling lonely and unwanted, which is not true.
Yukito frowned. Now that he thought about, Tomoyo-chan hadn't looked that way for a while now. Could it be because Hiiragizawa-kun has broken through that state Tomoyo-chan was in and suddenly took over Yukito's job as taking care of her? This striked Yukito as odd. He never noticed that before, but then, how could he if he also has his hands full of Nakuru?
It was then that Yukito silently thanked Hiiragizawa-kun for looking after Tomoyo-chan, but seeing as how he acted with Nakuru downstairs when Tomoyo-chan took Spinel Sun into his room, Hiiragizawa-kun's intentions might be a little more than just friends towards Tomoyo-chan. Yukito then pondered if Tomoyo-chan noticed it.
"Yukito-san, are you okay?" Tomoyo-chan's voice broke Yukito's voice. He looked at Tomoyo-chan, who was now eyeing him with a look of concern. Yukito smiled at her.
"Yes, I am. What gives you the idea that I'm not?" he asked. Tomoyo-chan frowned.
"Well first, you were staring off into space, then you frowned, then after you had this looked amused," she replied, her lips curving ever so slowly. Yukito chuckled.
"I was just wondering… what do you think of Hiiragizawa-kun?" Yukito was surprised that he wasn't surprised to see Tomoyo-chan blush at his question.
"Yukito-san, not you too," she mumbled, putting her face on her hands. Yukito gave her an innocent look.
"I was just wondering," he replied, shrugging. Tomoyo-chan looked at him through her fingers before burying her face in them again, her red face still visible.
"Look Tomoyo-chan, I love you. And If I were to give away my job of taking care of you to someone, I want that person to be good enough for you. And lately, I've been seeing just that in Hiiragizawa-kun. I just want you to tell me exactly what you think of him," he said. At this time, Tomoyo-chan had removed her face from her hands and was now staring at Yukito, her eyes softened. She then took a deep breath and smiled weakly.
"I love you too, Yukito-san," she said. Yukito took her hand and squeezed it, smiling back at her and silently urging her to speak.
"Well, Eriol-kun's the most amazing person I've met," she started. Tomoyo-chan looked at Yukito, who nodded for her to continue.
"He's sweet, funny, witty, intelligent, and sometimes he has a knack to be arrogant," Tomoyo-chan giggled. Yukito smiled. He just fulfilled his goal, and that is to get Tomoyo-chan to open up to him and tell him exactly what she feels about Hiiragizawa-kun.
"He's always been there for me. Whenever I'm sad, angry, happy, depressed, he stood by my side and helped me get through it all. For that I'm ever grateful, because I really don't know what I would be without him. I can never keep anything from Eriol-kun, because he can tell if I'm keeping something from him. I never realized that Eriol-kun has become such a big part of my life that it scares me sometimes just how much his mere presence can have such a huge impact from me. I'm also scared of how much I've fallen in love with him that I don't even know how deep I've fallen…" Tomoyo-chan trailed off, realizing what she's just done. She turned to Yukito, who was beaming at her.
"You set me up," she said, glaring at him. It would've worked if she weren't smiling. Yukito laughed and pulled Tomoyo-chan to him.
"But doesn't it make you feel better, now that you've got it all out?" he asked, stroking her hair. Tomoyo-chan smiled against his chest.
"Thanks Yukito-san, I needed that," she said. A sudden stir caused both Yukito and Tomoyo-chan to break apart and watched as Spinel Sun woke up from his nap.
"Tomoyo-sama, Tsukishiro-san, what happened? Why am I on Eriol-sama's bed?" He asked, completely confused. Yukito watched as Tomoyo-chan picked Spinel Sun up and cradled him in her arms.
"You ate Kero-chan's chocolate and after being chased by him, you fell asleep, so I took you to Eriol-kun's bed," she said, rubbing Spinel Sun behind the ears, causing him to purr. Suddenly, the door opened, revealing Kero-chan.
"Dinner's ready!" he exclaimed before flying away. Yukito wrapped an arm around Tomoyo-chan's shoulder and the two headed down the dining room.
"Do you think it's safe to eat Nakuru's food?" Yukito asked, causing Spinel Sun to laugh at this. Tomoyo-chan smacked him playfully in the chest and gave Spinel Sun a look, which caused him to stop laughing at once.
"Yukito-san! You're talking about your girlfriend you know! Besides, I taught her how to cook," she said. Spinel Sun sighed in relief as they entered the dining room.
"Well at least we know that Nakuru's food won't poison us this time," he said. Unfortunately, Nakuru heard him because she glared at him.
"Be quiet Suppi-chan!" she exclaimed, throwing a bun at him. Yukito caught it and took a bite of it, much to Nakuru's dismay. Spinel Sun left Tomoyo-chan and smirked at Nakuru.
"That's what you get for calling me 'Suppi-chan'," he said before flying to a seat away from Nakuru. Tomoyo-chan took her seat beside Hiiragizawa-kun, who was watching the scene the whole time while Yukito took his seat beside Nakuru.
"Did you get to talk to her?" Nakuru whispered to him as soon as he sat down. Yukito nodded.
"Don't worry Nakuru," he said, patting her on the knee.
"Tomoyo-chan won't be going anywhere for a long time."
