Syaoran's P.O.V:
"What the hell was that all about?" Sakura burst suddenly.
"Why? What's wrong with being my girlfriend?" I asked, pretending to be mocked hurt when in fact I was truly. What has happened to me?
"Well... Nothing... I just..." Is she blushing? "...I just don't like people thinking something that's not true!"
"But people already think you two are together!" Tomoyo exclaimed. Is she trying to help?
"So?"
"Sakura, please, Aya's finally beginning to notice me, you're not going to ruin it now are you?" I gave her a puppy dog look and grabbed both of her hands in mine. "Please?"
She sighs. Wow, I even love her annoyed sighs... Wait, love? "Well, how can I resist that face?"
I smiled as the bell rang. I gave her a quick kiss on the cheek and picked up my backpack. "I'll see you later Saku-chan!!!"
"Okay Syao-kun!!" She blew me a kiss. I feel dazed... Why?
"Eriol, are you..." I look at the scene of Tomoyo and Eriol making out before class began. Do they ALWAYS have to do this? "ERIOL HIRIGAZAWA!!!"
Eriol broke the kiss. "Gotta go." He gave her one last peck before he picked up his backpack and walked with me to our 5th period. "So, you and Sakura are 'going out' eh?"
I noticed our classroom coming closer. Once we can't inside we can't talk, stupid teacher's rule. So, I decided to leave him hanging. "Yeah, thanks to you and Tomoyo. Thanks man, now I have an excuse to kiss and touch Sakura!" I patted his back quickly before running into the classroom, hearing his protests all the way.

Sakura and I entered inside of her apartment. I sighed as I sat down on the couch and let my whole body sink into its' comforting cushions. Sakura set down her backpack next to mine and sat next to me, her head landing on my shoulder. I smiled and wrapped my arm around her shoulder and kissed her forehead. Every time I'm on this couch I seem to get lucky. Is that just coincidence?
She looked up. "Hi..."
She had never seemed so beautiful to me in my life. "Hi..."
"So..." She said as she grabbed my hand. "What are we going to do about this whole Aya thing?"
My eyes widened. I had been so caught up in Sakura I had completely forgotten the new problem at hand. "Well, I think we should practice the date thing, so that it's not too suspicious..."
"Well, we've known each other our whole lives, we know everything about each other, believe me, I think we're fine."
"Yes, as BEST FRIENDS, but I'm talking as LOVERS."
"Aren't lovers when they're having sex?"
"Well, I guess we could make that happen..." I wiggled my eyebrows at her. She punched my shoulder.
"You're such a horn dog!"
"Hey! I'm only male!" At least last time I checked...
"Well, what do we have to accomplish as BOYFRIEND and GIRLFRIEND?" Wow, Sakura being my girlfriend. Why did it feel right?
I thought. What was it? We already accomplished acting like a couple, we're practically a married couple, but what worried me? Then it struck me. "Kissing..."
"KISSING?" She exclaimed.
"Kissing... Don't you notice that that's all everyone else does? It's like I'm here! Kiss. I'm leaving! Kiss. I win! Kiss. It's always about kissing. If we don't kiss it won't be believable."
"Well, how do you suppose we practice? I mean, we could practice, but how are you going to start it?" She asked.
I shrugged. I really didn't know. I thought. And thought. And thought. Then it hit me. It was perfect, and I was happier about it because I got to kiss Sakura. I placed my fingertips under her chin and lifted her face to look at me. Her eyes looked into mine as I slowly leaned forward. We both closed our eyes just before my lips touched her soft and sweet lips.
She made a noise as she wrapped her arms around my neck and mine around her waist. I squished her to me as I pressed my lips on hers harder than earlier. Taking my chances, I asked for entrance, in which she accepted, and seemed to make both of us happy. As our kiss got more and more passionate, I slowly began to lay her down on the sofa. Everything good with Sakura seems to happen on this sofa. It's like it's my good luck charm. We should take it with us when we get married... Wait, did I just say when we get married? That's wrong! But... It sounds right. She made more noises until we heard the footsteps. We quickly separated and fixed ourselves, and I turned on the T.V. just before her mother entered.
"Hey kids!"
"Hey..." We both answered, seemingly disappointed. Did Sakura like the kiss?
"How was your day?"
"Great!" We looked at each other.
"Great. Hey, I have tickets for this new foreign film, you want to go see it?"
"Sure!" we both answered as we followed her out the door.
&?&?&?&?&?&?&?&?
Nadeshiko sighed as she opened the door and let me enter first with the sleeping Sakura in my arms. Obviously foreign films are not good for Sakura. I carried her to our bed... Wait, I mean, her bed, and covered her with the covers. I smiled at her as I quickly pecked her lips in her sleep, making her smile. During the foreign film and watching Sakura sleep through most of it, I thought about things. About life with her, why I couldn't imagine my life without having her to myself, why I found myself to say ridiculous things, and that's when I realized...
"I love you..."
