As quiet as a mouse, listening to herself breathing lightly, Tomoyo carefully lifted herself out the bed, moving the duvet as little as possible. Wincing as she walked into the cold morning air, seeing as she was quiet naked from head to toe.
"Mm…"
As she carefully replaced the duvet, Eriol moaned in his sleep, and Tomoyo flinched, watching him warily. Eriol turned, facing Tomoyo, but still asleep. Tomoyo let out a sigh of relief, and started to walk away when she tripped over something. Tomoyo fell on the cold, hard wooden floor, her body stretched, trying to prevent from falling. But she fell, anyway.
"Ar-!!"
She half screamed, but quickly bit her lower lip and stopped herself, her head instantly turning towards Eriol.
Good. He was still asleep.
Tomoyo looked over the floor, and was outraged to see…
Her clothes, her bindings… Eriol's clothes and things…
All strewn over the floor!
"Oh my god… I didn't start this… did I?"
Tomoyo asked herself quietly, as she bent over to pick up her things. She quietly made her way into the bathroom, and beaming with glorious success, locked the bathroom door.
After a nice warm shower she came out, smiling, and forgetting what she had seen and felt just 10 minutes ago. Except that…
"Ah, good morning, Tom."
A soft, sleepy voice greeted Tomoyo. Tomoyo flinched, whirled around, and saw HIM. Everything from the morning came back to her head as her cheeks flushed red.
"Er… good, good morning… erm… Eriol… yeah…"
Eriol looked at her with strangely, though the kindness in his eyes never left.
"Are you alright? You look kinda… knackered."
"Er… yeah, I am… uh, just a little."
Tomoyo stood there awkwardly, glancing all over the house. Down on the floor of the lounge, she saw empty beer cans strew all over the floor, and her eyes widened in shock.
"Did I drink that?"
Eriol spun.
"What? That? No, not all of it."
"No, no no. I mean, did I actually drink BEER?"
A small grin appeared in the corners of Eriol's mouth.
"Yep. You sure did. Poured it in, if I may say so."
"No! The hell!"
Tomoyo shouted, and Eriol looked at her quizzically.
"What?"
"No wonder! Beer! That's what totally made my self-control go off!"
Tomoyo blabbered, and Eriol was completely perplexed. Why on earth was he talking in such a girlish manner? And why, when Eriol's voice is low in the morning, is Tom's voice so high?
"How much did you drink?"
Tomoyo suddenly turned onto Eriol, and startled, he stared at her with wide-open eyes.
"About… um… half a dozen?"
"Don't lie."
Tomoyo replied, counting 18 cans all together.
"I totally and completely lose myself with three cans only. I get queasy on my fourth and finally my stomach linings give way on my fifth. Then I'm a complete puppet."
Eriol stared blankly as Tomoyo spilt all her secrets out.
"So you must've drunken… what, at least fifteen bottles."
Eriol looked thoughtful. He scratched the back of his head as he looked down at Tomoyo blankly.
"Does this really matter?"
Tomoyo felt as if she was hit over the head with a sledge-hammer.
"Well…"
Tomoyo sighed.
'Let's just get to the point here, Tomoyo… you know the guy isn't stupid.'
"Exactly how much drink do you have to get until YOU lose yourself?"
She asked, as if it was a very common and interesting question to ask. Eriol stared, the calm serenity returning to his puzzled eyes.
"I don't."
"Huh?!!"
Tomoyo stared at him, panic-stricken.
"You what?"
"I don't lose myself."
"Oh my god! Then you know it all?"
Tomoyo stared at this boy in front of her, mouth open and horror visible in her eyes. Eriol cocked his head to the side, and looked at her with an expression that wasn't a nice look on his face. The look clearly said, 'You are MAD'.
"So… erm… Do you… know what we did last night, coz… I really have no idea at all… it's all just a big blur…"
Tomoyo muttered, or rather, stuttered, her lips quivering in fear. Only the third day into this punishment and she's being discovered? Great. What next? Go to school wearing lipstick?
Eriol looked at Tom with a puzzled look. But the look softened to a sympathetic, but a tiny bit guilty smile.
"Er… no, not quite."
Tomoyo looked up, grasping the faint light of hope his words gave her. Does that mean…
"Er… I just… kinda went to sleep…"
A fist came crashing down inside Tomoyo's head. That doesn't help at all!
"So you just fell asleep? Just like that?"
Tomoyo demanded, now completely and utterly annoyed. Why was this person so hard to get round to answers with? Why was he prevaricating here? What's he done wrong?
"Well, yeah. Who wouldn't with 15 cans?"
Eriol shrugged of Tomoyo's dagger glares and disappeared into the bathroom. Tomoyo's glare followed his navy head until the door blocked it out of sight.
"So…"
She frowned.
"Does that mean he doesn't know anything?"
Complicated things always gave her a headache. She decided to think it simple.
"Suppose he doesn't know. After all, 15 cans!"
Tomoyo smiled brightly at no particular object or person. She spun around the large living room, beaming, until her eyes landed upon the messed up piles of beer cans. A look of absolute disgust was cast upon her face.
"I still can't believe I drank that!"
When the bathroom door opened, Eriol caught a funny smell as steam escaped in white trails into the lounge. It seemed Tom was cooking something in the kitchen, but wasn't having such a good go at it.
'Poor guy…'
He thought. I mean, how much worse could a guy get? He obviously has some kind of neurosis and phobia for men… AND beer… mentally disturbed, SERIOUSLY. He's a little bisexual if it was right for Eriol to mention. With his high voice and leggy-ness and all. No one in their right mind would think him a boy if he grew his hair and wore some dressy clothes.
With a sympathizing look on his face, he walked into the kitchen.
"Argh! Don't come in!"
Tomoyo let out a small yell as she saw Eriol's silhouette right against the hazy glass of the kitchen door. But the warning came too late. The door, to Tomoyo it seemed, flung open, and the thick smoke escaped through the slight gap. Tomoyo closed her eyes in devastation and humiliation as she heard coughs from Eriol breathing in the smoke.
Despite Tomoyo's silent plead for the smoke not to cease, the opaqueness of the smoke thinned quickly, and soon all that were left was Tomoyo, her clothes blackened, and Eriol, standing in the doorway of the kitchen, his front also blackened. Without a word, Eriol took off his glasses to reveal two circles of his just-washed skin around his eyes, and cleaned them before putting them back on. He turned to Tomoyo.
"E, he-he… um, er… want to cook?"
'Despite the humiliation, panic and all… it wasn't that bad… or was it?'
Tomoyo asked herself as she walked silently behind Eriol. When he got his glasses clean, Eriol had simply shrugged, gave her a sympathetic nod, and cooked breakfast for both of them.
'Probably thought I was mentally retarded and felt sorry for it…'
She thought grimly, and glanced over at Eriol, who was wearing the ever-so-pleasant smile he always wore.
"This is the main office. You have to go in and ask to be allocated a room."
Eriol said, still smiling. The smile now seemed pasted on. In fact, Tomoyo was sure it was. Tomoyo thanked him, and after telling her where her bags were, Eriol was off to class.
With a nervous smile, Tomoyo stepped up to the front desk. An elegant-looking lady looked up as she approached.
"Oh hello! Come to look for your brother? Boyfriend? Cousin? What room is he in?"
Obviously, the lady thought Tomoyo was a girl… and she thought right. But Tomoyo sweat-dropped, and smiled uncertainly.
"Erm… I'm here as a new boarder? Could I possibly be allocated a room?"
The lady's jaw dropped open.
"A, a… boar…der??"
Now the lady asked, her face turning red and an unreadable expression cast upon her face. Tomoyo groaned inwardly as she saw this, but smiled nevertheless, learning it from the two-faced Eriol. Two-faced Eriol. A perfect name for just the right guy.
"Yes. My name's Tom Daidouji. And my mother, Sonomi Daidouji, said she rang you yesterday afternoon."
"Sonomi Daidouji… Oh yes, here she is."
The lady said, brightening up as she found a memo in her hand, though her face was still plum-red.
"Hm… let me find you a free dormitory…"
After a moment of staring at the computer screen, the lady looked up apologetically and said,
"I'm sorry dear, but there are no free dorms. You'll have to share with someone."
Tomoyo was about to kill. How can she keep up with this disguise if she had to share a room with someone! Talented as she was, Tomoyo instantly put on a very sorrowful face and started.
"Um… I… sleepwalk… when I'm nervous… and I get nervous when I sleep with other people in a room… and I tend to be quite restless when I hear someone else's breathing… didn't my mother mention that?"
The lady looked down at the note, and smiling, she looked up.
"No… She didn't mention that. But she did mention you're a tight sleeper and that you hardly ever wake up unless you want to use the bathroom or someone dumps a bucket of water over you… and she also said to give you a good shake and a scream in your ear to wake you up in the morning."
Damn. Sonomi had told the office lady all there was to know about Tomoyo and her sleeping habits. Sonomi had always mentioned from time to time that no man would marry Tomoyo if they were the cosy family man where he expected the woman to do breakfast and wake the house up. Only a very understanding fool who never slept with her would marry, Sonomi said.
Tomoyo had been always ignorant of her mother's remarks… until NOW!!
"Here you are dear." The lady smiled and handed her a key. "It's room 48, on the fourth level of building Two. Have a nice day." She kept smiling, until Tomoyo stopped glaring at the key in front of her, and took it. The lady continued to smile at Tomoyo. Tomoyo stared… or rather, glared back at her in a rebellious manner. Their eyes locked. Electric sparks flew everywhere… the background darkened… from somewhere a lightning bolt came along with thunder…
But of course, Tomoyo's long and always troublesome eyelash fell into her eye… and she blinked.
Deep furrows of anger and concentration fading away, Tomoyo turned indignantly, and walked away elegantly and beautifully. It would've looked great if she was a girl, but in this case, it just looked like some pretty catty looking guy either gay or constipated.
Tomoyo swore in her mind as she exited the main office in search of her bags and her dorm. She was so going to cut off that eyelash! It's always been a bother for being 2mm longer than the rest of her eyelashes! It always fell into her eye at the wrong times, like when she was having a shower or looking into Jay's deep blue eyes or having a stare/glare fight, or when she was trying to fight this other person. It always happened. It happened when Jay was about to give her the first and most important kiss of her life, and when Jay proposed to her. When they first met, and when they parted. It had always been such a bother for her!!
Jay… Her expression softened with a great change as the name was repeated in her mind. He called the eyelash his 'Odd sweet'. One reason why she couldn't cut it off… Tomoyo sighed. Then she cooed herself in the middle of the school ground, closing her eyes tight and imagining her saviour, her love, her everything was there to take her away from this hell.
"Oh Jay…" She would whisper with tears twinkling in her big amethyst eyes, looking as beautiful as ever, as he fights off all the evil beings such as the main office lady, Sonomi, Green maroon uniform Haster North girls, Green Blue Dame Dahlia girls, and short skirt Mannings' girls, and Meiling can never be forgotten, and Yuki-
No.
However much Yukito tortured Tomoyo, she would not let Jay harm him. Though she loves Jay more than anyone in the whole wide world of evil creatures, she still had a special place in her heart for the too cool, too cruel guy, Yukito…
Tomoyo sighed to herself with half-moon smiling eyes of daydream, as she opened the door of room 48, fourth floor of building two.
As her 'half-moon smiling eyes of daydream' found the being within the dorm, they turned into circles of unsuspected shock and surprise until gradually they changed to a spear-shaped flaming balls shooting daggers.
"E, hehe…"
A stupid, awkward laugh came. Tomoyo glared.
"A, HI… My Name Is Elie… nice to be sharing a dormitory with you…"
Tomoyo's eyes busily turned to all corners of the room, to search for somewhere where she could keep her eyes on until this creature stopped talking. For many reasons, very reasonable, she disliked him.
First thing, she was a girl. Second thing, he was a boy. Third, he was a geek, fourth, he always said his name in a drowsy, idiotic, mentally retarded sort of way. And fifthly, not least, not last, he was Eli.
"Huh!"
Tomoyo scoffed, but with great difficulty decided there was no better place in the room where she could keep her eyes on.
"That will be a no thank-you, I shall not be using this room, I shall be sharing with someone else I just got the wrong room, thank you very much! Good bye!"
Tomoyo said in a disgusted tone of her original voice, turned, and stomped away.
Eli sat on his bed, tearful eyed, staring at the receding image of Tomoyo's back.
"I- I really like her…"
"Yuki! Save me Yuki!"
Tomoyo begged as she ran into the class that morning. The whole class turned, interested. Tomoyo looked around. She couldn't make anymore trouble or else she'll be more heeded and known throughout the school… though the incident with the girls' presents made her very well known around Rosmini… She couldn't make herself anymore… WIDELY known.
"Come."
Tomoyo grabbed Yuki at his wrist, and pulled him out of the classroom. Yuki looked perplexed, yet glad to join her game.
"Yeah, what is it?"
Tomoyo looked into Yuki's eyes with puppy eyes. She noticed his green eyes were very beautiful, unlike most green eyes which Tomoyo usually called 'broccoli green' to make people feel bad. Yuki sweat-dropped as Tomoyo's eyes moved on from his eyes to his pale-coloured cheeks, and then to his unusually bright red lips.
"Erm… Tom?"
"Huh??"
Tomoyo woke up from the daydream that had just begun to uncoil itself. 'Oh god,' she thought. Was she really this arrogant like Leiko Saito was that she thought all boys would like her even when she was disguised as a boy? True, she managed to attract a lot of girls lately…
"Oh, look Yuki. I'm in a situation…"
Tomoyo said, putting on her puppy eyes look again.
"I… I've been kicked out of my house by my evil mother and her plot against me, and now… I'm left all alone in this world to survive…"
The more dramatic, the better. Tomoyo now began to fill her eyes with fake tears, which wasn't easy.
"I… just wanted to say how much… no… this isn't it… do you think I'm arrogant? Nono… this isn't it either… oh yes… and the more I'm left in the world I…"
The problem with tears, was that now she couldn't concentrate on the speaking. Yuki saw her problem. It's times like these that Yuki's just such a nice little angel for her.
"Hey, quit it with the tears. Just spill."
"Thank you! I have to share a dorm with someone I'd rather not share with so could I please share a dorm with you?"
There. One sentence, one breath. Easy as an apple pie.
"Sure. You can move in after school."
Tomoyo smiled as she followed Yuki back to class. At least he's her friend… the shock of discovering… IF, discovered… wouldn't be that bad for innocent Yuki her best friend, would it?
"Tom! That's you're phone!"
Yuki opened the bathroom door and shouted as Tomoyo still lay in her bed. Loud booming rock music filled the dorm room as Tomoyo squirmed, still half-asleep. She languidly poked her head out of the top bunk and grinned adorably at Yuki, looking at her through the reflection in the bathroom mirror. He was brushing his teeth, his hair wet and spiky than usual and his upper-half body not yet clothed after the shower.
"Could you please pass me my phone? I don't know where it is, big bro."
Tomoyo asked lazily, not bothering to look even more adorable. It was all she could manage at this state. Yuki shook his head, came out of the bathroom and picked up the phone. As tall as he was, he held it in front of her barely open eyes, and as she reached out for it, he pulled it away. The game continued for two seconds, before she realised what the caller name said.
"Give!"
She snatched the phone off Yuki, climbed off to his bare back and jumped off onto the ground. She quickly patted Yuki's bare back and ran off, still in her pyjamas, grabbing Yuki's jumper as she went.
"Hello?"
Tomoyo asked in her sweet girlish voice, although she knew very well who was calling.
"Hi Tomoyo!"
A deep, wonderful voice came from the other side, and Tomoyo sighed in wonderment and relief.
"Oh? Who is this?"
She asked cheekily, and a small laugh came for the answer.
"You don't remember me?"
"Me who?"
She cooed into the phone which was now literally stuck to her ear.
"Alright. I must've got the wrong number… I'll-"
"Jay? Jay baby honey sweet?"
Tomoyo said quickly, in fear he might really hang up. A chuckle answered her nervous question.
"That's me!"
"Jay DARLING!!"
Tomoyo practically screamed, and almost fell off. She was sitting on a bench in the school garden. Quite a secret and unnoticed place she found a few weeks ago.
"Hey hey hey… calm, baby."
"You haven't called for SUCH a long time!"
"I know, I'm sorry Tomoyo honey."
"Aw… it's alright… how are you?"
A slight pause. Tomoyo frowned. Was he unwell? Was he ill? Was he going to die? Oh no, that couldn't possibly be happening! What happened to him? Why wasn't he answering??
"I'm great as always!"
The answer came about 2 seconds later, but it was still a long time for Tomoyo to wait and she told herself decisively that she knew he was faking the answer only to make her not worried.
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah, listen, Tomoyo, I need to see you… I want to see you… are you free tomorrow?"
Tomoyo smiled at his sweetness. He was so good…
"Yes, of course I'm free honey. I'll send you my pics. You don't need to be worried. I'm always alright."
"No, nono. I mean, are you free tomorrow?"
"Well, yeah! I'm always free! Do you want to chat or something tomorrow?"
An giving up sort of, exasperated sigh came from the other side, and Tomoyo knew something was wrong.
"Honey? Something wrong?"
"No, no. Tomoyo, I'm on an aeroplane. I'll be in Japan to see you tomorrow."
OoOoO… Jay's coming back!!! hehe…
Don't forget to…
