Eriol looked over at Tomoyo while she made her wish. He'd never noticed it before but, she really did look awfully beautiful.
'Why haven't I ever noticed before?'
The answer came to him quickly, he was never with her. He had never actually bothered to get to know Tomoyo. He was always helping Sakura, being with his 'cute decendent', or lying with Yamazaki. It really was a pity.
"So? What did you wish for Eriol?" Tomoyo asked.
"Umm, nothing," he replied.
"Aww why not?"
"I was preoccupied with something else," Eriol answered.
Tomoyo looked at him, "If you had made a wish, what would it have been?"
Eriol thought for a moment, then grinned, "A truck load of sweets," he said.
Tomoyo laughed and nudged him in the elbow, "Don't be such a joker! Tell me!"
"How about you tell me what you wished for and I'll tell you," he said.
"I wished, I wished that Hiroke would leave me alone, so I could get to know you better," she said.
"Really?" he questioned.
Tomoyo nodded, then looked back up at the black skies. "It would be nice you know, you seem like a very interesting person Eriol. And I feel as if, if we didn't have to act like boyfriend and girlfriend whenever Hiroke was around, that time could be spent getting to know each other."
"You know Tomoyo, I would've wished for exactly the same thing," Eriol said, his sapphire eyes never leaving her face.
She faced him again, "Hey you want hot chocolate?" she said, smiling.
Eriol smiled back, "That would be nice."
~*~
It didn't seem as if their wishes was about to come true anytime soon, Hiroke wouldn't stop following her. It didn't matter where she went, he would go, and the girls bathroom was not going to help either.
"What are you doing in here!" Tomoyo shouted, after all the other girls had screamed and ran out.
Hiroke shrugged, "They were cute."
"You pervert! Get out!" she yelled.
When he just stayed put Tomoyo stomped out of the room.
"Hey, wait up!"
Tomoyo stopped and looked back at him, "Stop following me," she ordered.
"I don't want to lose you, you sweet thing," he said wrapping his arms around her waist.
She slapped him, and ran away. Tomoyo then opened her door and slammed it behind her.
"What's up with you?" Tomoyo heard Eriol's voice say.
"Nothing," she replied.
Eriol came in, drying off his hair. Tomoyo blushed at the towel he was wearing around him, but Eriol didn't seem to notice.
"It's that Hiroke, isn't it?" he asked.
Tomoyo nodded, "I can't go anywhere with out him following me," she said, "Unless. . ."
Eriol looked at her, "Tomoyo you can't be thinking. . ."
"Oh please Eriol! Desperate times call for desperate measures! He might leave me alone if you do!" she pleaded.
"And he might not, you said we wouldn't have to do this," Eriol said.
Tomoyo looked away, "Yeah you're right, I'm sorry for bothering you," she said.
Eriol sighed and put down the towel, he then put his hands on her shoulders, "Okay, I'll do it," he said.
Tomoyo's eyes brightned, "Oh thank you so much Eriol!" she cried, hugging him tightly. Eriol smiled and hugged her back.
"Anything for a friend."
'Yeah, a friend.'
Sakura and Syaoran decided to call Tomoyo and Eriol to see if they wanted to go for a swim.
"Yeah, sure, we'll be there in a few minutes," Tomoyo said, hanging up.
"Eriol, come on we're going to go swimming with Sakura and Syaoran," she said.
"Great, and I just dried off my hair too," he said getting up.
"Oh come on," she said, rolling her eyes..
~*~
"Chiharu," Sakura said backing off, "You better not."
"Better not what?" she said, smirking.
"You better not, ahhhh!" Sakura screamed, falling into the pool, backwards.
Everyone started laughing.
"I've gotta shake your hand on that one," Yamazaki said, clutching his girlfriends' hand.
"Why thank you Takashi," she said, then she pushed him and he fell in as well.
"Okay that's enough," Syaoran said walking up to her. Chiharu stuck her leg out and he fell on Sakura, pushing her back in.
"Syaoran!" she screamed.
"I'm sorry! She tripped me!" Syaoran protested.
Suddenly Chiharu fell on top of all three of them. After coming back up to the surface they saw Eriol and Tomoyo laughing.
Everyone grabbed onto their ankles, "Your turn." Then they pulled Eriol and Tomoyo in.
That started a humongous splash fight. Later all six of them sat on the chairs, panting.
"You guys totally lost," Eriol said, looking over at Yamazaki, Sakura, Syaoran, and Chiharu.
"Well how ould we have known that you guys brought water guns with you," Syaoran countered.
"It's not like we could trust you," Tomoyo said.
"Oh, we're the ones that can't be trusted? You two are the pranksters around here," Sakura said.
Tomoyo giggled, "It was his ideas anyway," she said turning to Eriol.
"Me?" he said, pointing to himself in fake disbelief, "You're the one that agreed to it all."
"My, my, having your first fight?"
Everyone looked up, "Oh it's you," Tomoyo said, turning over and looking the other way.
"Mind if I join you?" he asked, sitting down next to Tomoyo. She grumbled a few words and turned over again.
"Actually, we do," Sakura said.
"Is he the guy in the hall," Chiharu hispered to Syaoran, he nodded.
"You know Tomoyo, I've never seen you and your boyfriend kiss," Hiroke said.
Tomoyo's muscles tensed, "Well you know, it's an intimate thing," she lied.
"Come on, lets see it," Hiroke said.
"Don't push them you idiot!" Chiharu exclaimed.
Hiroke ignored her, "It isn't that hard to show your love for each other is it?"
Tomoyo looked at Eriol, Eriol looked at Tomoyo. Was there any other choice?
"Just because you got dumped doesn't mean you can tell them what to do!" Sakura yelled.
"Hey, I've seen you and your lover kiss on the deck all the time, so what's so different about this!" Hiroke yelled back.
Sakura and Syaoran blushed. "Were you spying on them?!" Chiharu yelled, sitting up.
"I can walk around the ship without getting arrested can't I?"
"That doesn't mean you can watch other people kissing!" Chiharu felt as if she could punch his head off right then and there.
Tomoyo, Eriol, Sakura, Syaoran, and Yamazaki watched Chiharu and Hiroke shout comments at each other until the ship's staff came to settle things down.
"I think this is getting out of hand, don't you?" Tomoyo whispered.
Eriol nodded, "Do you think?"
"No, besides, you don't want to," she said shaking her head.
"Yeah but I said I would."
"But I don't want to force you into doing something you don't want to," Tomoyo protested.
"Yeah but. . ." Eriol trailed off.
Eriol turned his head down, Tomoyo cocked her head to see his face, "Eriol, are you implying that you actually want to kiss me?"
A red tinge appeared on his cheeks. No this could not be happening! Why did he suddenly feel so attracted to her! He hardly knew anything about her, and yet he felt as if he knew her so well.
Suddenly the two saw everyone's but Hiroke's heads around them.
"What are you two whispering about?" Yamazaki asked.
"Uhhh." Tomoyo had no idea how to answer this.
"If you're plannin something, I want in," Chiharu said.
"Come on just tell us!" Sakura finally yelled.
Everyone around the pool turned to her.
"IF I HAVE TO TELL YOU KIDS TO BE QUIET ONE MORE TIME, I'LL KICK YOU OUT OF THE POOL!!!" the staff yelled.
Sakura's face grew red, "Oops," she whispered.
"Why don't we just settle this in an orderly fashion," Syaoran said, standing up. Everyone turned to look at him.
"What do you mean?" Hiroke asked.
"How about we have a swim race, me against you. If I win Tomoyo and Eriol don't have to kiss, if you win. . ."
"They will," Hiroke said, smirking at the two beside him.
"No." Eriol stood up, "I'll race him."
"Are you sure?" Tomoyo asked.
Eriol smiled down at her, "Why? Don't you believe in me?"
"Yeah, I guess," the last part was almost inaudible.
Soon Eriol and Hiroke were positioned at the end of the pool, ready to dive in.
"Okay, five laps you already know the rest," Syaoran said.
Tomoyo watched from one of the chairs, her hands holding onto her arms, amethysts looking worried.
"READY!"
Tomoyo couldn't help but get the feeling that Eriol wanted to kiss her.
"GET SET!"
'But even if he does kiss me, it won't be too bad, will it?' Tomoyo looked back up at the two racers.
"GO!"
