Eriol had just came from school and was about to answer the question of going back to London.
"Mom I thought about what you said and I say...yes" Eriol said. Eriol's Mom jumped up and hugged Eriol. "Are you sure, honey?" She said looking at me dead in his eyes. I just nodded. I really wanted to go back home. Not to see my old friends again but to make a new start. "Oh your Father will be so happy!" She said hugging me again. I began to think maybe I'll feel better forgetting Tomoyo, instead so feeling stupid around her since she's the only one out of the other kids that will speak to me.
After dinner, I went to my room and looked outside the summer breez cooled my hot skin. I wasn't feeling so great about what I said earlier. I decided to E-mail my friends to tell them that I was going back to London. It took me a while to type down, I was feeling like I was saying, I was going back to London so I don't have to worry about crushes and music. I just hope they didn't come to the conclusion that I was thinking just that.
I sent the E mails hoping they wouldn't kill me and then suddenly after I sent them the letter, I got a new message. I opened it, and it was invitation to Tomoyo's two anniversary of Dating Ichi. I really didn't want to come even if it was on a Friday night.l I could stay in the house and talk to Mom tell her all my dirty secret before we leave Japan just so all my problems would go away.
I sighed off the Internet feeling emotionally stressed so I went down stairs for a drink of water. Mom and Dad were in the dinning room watching some B movie called Tears of the sun.
I walked past watching them a snuggle up to each other and them it struck me; It seems impossible to get married, how can you love someone so much that you would give anything? I needed to know what this feeling was, It was weird. I got a cold glass of water and spaced out not seeing or hearing anything but my thoughts.
I was excited to go back home, see the London bridge, Big Ben, my favorite 19-year-old cousin Zachary, he understood me better then anyone I ever knew in my whole life, he's like a brother to me. He had fallen in love with some girl named Jean. They had been dating for who knows how long.
I surely don't, but it's been a good while. I went back up stairs and went to sleep. dreams about London and everyone I knew there flooded my mind. Despite the fact that I've been denying how much I love London; I really missed the place and everyone there.
I awoke not wanting to go to school, I was afraid to face my friends and what they would say. But I got out of the bed anyway and went to school. I walked there slowly hoping the every thing would walked past me. I saw my friends waiting for me at the benches, they looked peeved, I figured they got the E mails. Suzy came running at me. "Eriol, say it isn't true!" She said. Suzy looked like she was about to break down and cry.
So I just nodded unable to speak. "That's screwed up man," Ryo said walked over with Veil. "I want to go home, this was my choice, it's not that I don't Love you guys, I like being around you but, I can start over In London." I said. Ryo shook his head. "Eriol, why I thought we all were a team," He said. "We still are, I just want to go. I don't know what to tell you," I said. Tomoyo walked past me looking really bad, she wasn't smiling or with Ichi either.
Suzy hugged me. "Eriol, I with whatever choice you make, you can't get rid of us," She said. I hugged her back and smiled. "I know," I said. As the day went by I began wondering, why I didn't see Ichi today. It was a really good day But Tomoyo was looking really upset as though something she liked was broken, I wanted to go and see if she was okay, but I didn't have the nerve.
It was about 4:30 that afternoon and I went to the pool to do some laps. I wanted to for a while but every time I went there, the coach that bugged me to join his team. He was there that day but for once he wasn't bothering me. I walked out the shower seeing Tomoyo in her two piece that had a paradise sun set on it and her wild long black hair was done in a braid. I walked up to the high diving board where she was sitting crying. "Hey Tomoyo," Like I would say if she walked past me in the hall. "Go away," She said sobbing with hand cupped in her face. I ignored her and sat next to her.
"You okay?" I asked stupidly. Tomoyo looked at me, her eyes were red from crying. "Do I look okay?" She snapped. "What happened? I won't tell anyone," I said trying to get her to tell me. She sniffed and little and whipped her eyes. "Fine, yesterday I found out that, Ichi was cheating on me since the day we went out!" She said and crying even harder.
"I can't believe he would do that," She said. Eriol wrapped his arm around her and comforted her. God, I must say that men can be real jerks. Well most men are, usually the horny ones. Why do men want what they can't have? I thought. Tomoyo kept crying and crying. "Stop crying, that won't help," I said. "You need to show that Ichi is no longer in your life, he doesn't know what he lost," I was a little shocked at what I just said.
Tomoyo stopped and looked up. "How can I, I loved him so much," She sniffed. "I can't believe he would do that,"
"Tomoyo, your a great person anyone would love to be around you, but that was his lost," I said. Tomoyo began to feel better. "Now promise that you won't think about him again," I said extending his pinkie for a swear. Tomoyo looked at Eriol and wrapped his pinkie around minel and we made a hawking sound and spit. Tomoyo smiled at me and stood up and dived into the pool gracefully.
I smiled and stood up. That's the first time I've ever talked to Tomoyo without anyone around to interrupt me! Tomoyo had came to the surface and looked up. I front flipped of and dived in to the water. Tomoyo waited for me. "Eriol?" Tomoyo looked around and didn't see where I dived at. Tomoyo went under water and looked around and didn't see me.
"Oh My God, Eriol!" She called. Then something pulled her under the water, It was me of course. Tomoyo and I went to the surface. "How did you do that?!" Tomoyo said. I smiled a little. "That's my little secret," I said and went back under. Tomoyo smiled and followed after me.
About two hours later, It was 6:30, I was late for dinner, the whole time Tomoyo and I were in the pool. I walked home slowly thinking about Tomoyo, I wanted to got to Ichi's house and beat the stuffing out of him. It was 15 minutes to seven and I was already home. Dad was watching the six o'clock news and his Mom was reading a book and self-expression in teens. "Hey Dad," I said. Dad jumped up and walked over to me as I took off my shoes. "Eriol, I'm so glad that you want to go back to London," He said hugging me.
That was the first time in a long while Dad hugged me. I thought he was afraid of me because what I did. "So, where were you honey?" Mom asked walking over to me and taking my bag. I blushed and didn't say anything. "Eriol, are you alright dear, you look flushed," She said. "I was at the pool, with someone," I said out and walked over to the couch and sat down trying to control my heart that was beating wildly.
"Someone?" Dad asked. I could that I was going to have to answer him, Parents always beat the truth out of you. "Just someone," I said. "Is this someone a girl?" Mom asked slyly. "Yes--- it's just someone I know that's all," I said feeling the truth eating at me. My parent's at beside me giving me these weird looks like they knew I was going to say something.
They looked at me for about two whole bloody minutes making me sweat. I stood up and it just came out. "Okay, it's a girl I have a crush on her name is Tomoyo, her boyfriend cheated on her since they started dating, so we hung out," I said nearing shouting in one breath. I gasped and ran up stairs and shut the door. I can't believe, I said that! I thought then I heard there foot step coming up the stairs.
They knocked and opened the door and was sitting on my bed looking out the window. "Eriol, how long have you been keeping this?" Dad said sitting next to me. "A long while," I said. Dad just smiled. I began getting flashback on my first talk when I was about 12 or 13 something like that. "Eriol, I'm so glad that you like someone, I thought you wanted to be single forever, does she know?" Mom asked sitting on the opposed of me.
"No, I not going to tell her, her boyfriend just cheated on her and that's Emotionally bad enough," I said. "Why don't you invited her over to dinner with your friends," Dad said. I was shocked, my parents want my friends and a girl I liked in the same roof. "Dad, are you sick?" I said putting my hand on his forehead. "No, you can have to the house to yourself, during that time, your Mother and I need to get things ready since where going back to London, right? so we might be gone for about two-three days tops." He said. I smiled a little. "That's the first time I've seen you smiled in a long time, Eriol.
So if you want but, there will be rules," She said looking over to Dad. "No drinking or smoking, no more then seven people in the house, keep the house clean and don't turn you music up to loud the neighbors are really senitive about the noise," Dad said. I jumped up and hugged them both I didn't know what came over me, I felt like a kid getting more money or something like that.
The next day, I went to school, I saw Ichi yelling at Tomoyo about something. "I never liked you anyway," I heard him say. Tomoyo looked like she was about to cry but I sure that she remembered our promise. "How could you do that?" She yelled. I walked over, I didn't know what I was going, and it was ten minutes before the bell. "Hey Tomoyo," I said Ignoring Ichi. "Eriol, not now," She said with a painful expression on her face that shattered my heart in to a billion pieces.
"Tomoyo, I want to invited you to dinner at my place tonight, if that's not a problem," I spat out forgetting that Ichi was there. "Look you little wanna be singer, I busy talking to my girl, so back off," He pushed me and I fell. I felt something snap and I got up and tackled him and punch him square in the face.
Ryo and the other ran over to me. They I heard someone say "FIGHT!". The whole school made like a circle around Ichi and I. I punched harder and harder. Ichi knocked me off. I stood up quickly and looked at his nose that was dripping with blood. I couldn't believe I did that. Ichi ran towards me but I moved and grabbed his hair and slammed him on the ground.
I heard Ryo telling to kick him so I did. I took off my heavy bag and hit him in the stomach with it. Then I felt someone pull me back, it was the teachers breaking up the fight. I want more, I wanted to fight more Ichi was mine and I wanted to finish it.
After the bell rang Ichi and I went the principle's office and we sat in these weird stiff chairs in front of his desk. "I am very ashamed of you two, fighting before school. This is not dismissable, you both was have phone calls to your parents today," He said. "Sir my parents are out of town," I said dully.
"Fine, I'll let you off with a warning and that's all if this happens again on my school ground you will have summer school with me," He said. I walked out the room and saw Tomoyo sitting on the seats the hall were empty and quite. Tomoyo looked up and ran over to me and for some reason she hugged me, so I hugged her back. She looked up at me. "I'm so sorry, Eriol." She said. I cheek began to hurt from the punch Ichi led on me. "Don't be, it was my fault, I just got pissed off that's all, this isn't the first school fight I've had," He said. Well, it was the first fight he had in a long time in this school.
Tomoyo released and smiled. "Your a pretty good fighter," She said as we began to walked to out classes. "Really?" I asked and she nodded yes. She stopped at her English class door and smiled at me. "Yes, I would love to have dinner at your place," She said. I blushed.
"I know where you live don't worry, I'll be there a seven," She said still smiling and then she walked a little closer to me and kissed my sore cheek. "That should help," She said opening the door. I touch my cheek, and blushed. I looked at my watch I was about three minutes late for my class so I ran there thinking about Tomoyo that wouldn't leave me, and that kiss that drove me crazy.
Later that day, I asked my friends to come over to have dinner with me, they said yes as always, they would be there early to help me cook. I'm good at cooking I just hate doing it sometime. It was about four when I started I was making a two course meal. I was rice (like usual) with my favorite chicken, that I invited called one spice chicken with greens and a salad and Japans favorite noodle soup with crabs. I started on the soup the noodles took longer because you had to get them just right.
I began making spicy chicken while I waited for the noodles to finish. The door bell rang I went to answer it. "Hey Eriol, hope you don't mind, my Mom want me to bring some egg rolls. "That's cool, just as long as it doesn't have squid in them like the last time I invited you to dinner," I said. "Squid free dude," Suzy, answered taking off her shoes. Ryo went to the stereo and but on some techo. "Suzy set the table will you," I said walking back to the kitchen.
About twenty-seven minutes later Suzy had the table set nicely and the cake for dessert was baking while everything else was ready and we were putting it on the table while dancing. I never really danced much but I felt pretty good. The door bell rang about two minutes to seven.
I wasn't really thinking the music was up really loud and I opened the door seeing Tomoyo in my face I blushed as I looked at what she was wearing it was a long shirt made of satin and a purple velvet tube top with a bare back. "Hope I'm not late," She said smiled. Eriol blinked and sighed. "No, come in." He said. Veil and Suzy were dancing and laughing while Ryo's eyes was next to the speaker looking at some CD's.
Tomoyo looked around and smiled. Eriol picked up the stereo remote and turned it off. Veil was still holding Suzy and then the music faded. "Hey what the hell was-" Veil said then everyone looked at Tomoyo. "Tomoyo?" Suzy said forgetting that she was coming. Tomoyo waved and blushed I could tell.
"Okay guys let's eat," Ryo said breaking the silence the dawned upon them or a moment. Everyone walked to the table. "Oh forgot," Eriol said running to the kitchen and getting a bottle. It was a wiser, his dad called it, if anyone new came to the house they had to drink from the water down wine as a welcome.
Eriol came back with the black bottle and poured a little of the water down wine in her glass. "Drink up," I said handing her the cup. Tomoyo took the glass and gulped down. Tomoyo made a face after she swallow. "What was that," She said in a hoarse voice. "Something, my family did before I was born, if someone new in the house comes they have to drink the wiser we call it as a welcome," I said.
"What is it?" She asked sitting next to Suzy. "20-year-old watered down wine," I said. Tomoyo laughed. "That's some welcome." She said. Everyone began eating and talking about movies and stuff, I felt really good, the food was good and the flowing emotion was good too. After dessert everyone was quiet while I was up stairs with Suzy looked for something.
"Hey look, the old karaoke," Eriol said blowing the dust off the top. "Think'll still work?" Suzy asked. I nodded and picked it up. As I walked down the stairs, Tomoyo seemed to being enjoying her self talking to Veil. "Hey look, you have lift off," Suzy said. Veil looked at what Eriol was carrying down the stairs.
"What's that?" Veil asked. "It's the old karaoke, remember." Eriol said with a little chuckled coming down the stairs. "I hate that thing, I lost a bet to that and I had to sing Faith Hill in a Tutu," Veil told Tomoyo. Tomoyo smiled and laughed. Eriol's hand began to hurt a little when he put in on the coffee table that was in the dinning room.
Suzy pulled it up and turned on the power. Eriol put three different colors plug in the T. v, so the words would show on the screen. Suzy opened the CD playing and put in a CD. Eriol plugged the microphone in the system and looked around the at his friends and Tomoyo. "Okay, who's first?" Eriol said holding the mic. "Have an about we draw straw the shortest straw goes first," Ryo suggested taking out his straws that he always carried around with him.
Eriol put down the mic and walked over to Ryo with his straws. Eriol took one with his eyes close, then Tomoyo, Suzy, Veil and Ryo last everyone looked at there straws. Ryo had the shortest one. "Damn," He said. "Why me," He said.
It was about 11:30 and all of us were was watching some anime called X: The motion picture.
Ryo felt his phone vibrate. I paused the movie. Ryo took and phone out and pressed the talk button. "Yeah? I'm at Eriol's house.....I thought you said that-.....no.....yes....I thought the baby-sitter was doing that......no it's dad's fault, he's never home,......okay, God," Ryo hung up his phone and putting it back in his pocket. "I have to go you guys, My little brother broke his leg playing with my dad shoes outside," He said.
"I might not be at school tomorrow, so I'll see you later, Dinner was great." Ryo showed himself out and I ran over to the door. "Ryo," He called. Ryo stopped and turned around. "I'll see you later, okay." I said throwing him his jacket he left behind. Ryo waved and walked down the street.
It was not 12:20 Suzy and Veil left and it was only myself and Tomoyo, along. Eriol was kinda nervous being around Tomoyo all by myself. Tomoyo got up and took her phone out of a hidden pocket. "Hello?" She said. "Mom, you okay? you sound a little shaken up......Oh God, how did that happen........but, I can't that would be rude......." She said. I was in the kitchen with my face in the freezer trying to clam down with the ice cold air. "Mmmm," I sighed leaning in a little more.
"Okay......I'll see you soon........oh, and Mom remember your breathing.......right inhale deep, exhale deep." Tomoyo hung up the phone walked in the kitchen seeing my head in the freezer. "Eriol what are you doing?" Tomoyo asked stopping in the door way. I shut the freezer and looked at Tomoyo.
"Nothing," I said. I didn't know what to do, she was in front of me, I was about to tell I like her and then- "Eriol, My Mom is out of town and the engine died on the free way and I can't get in my house because of all the bodyguards aren't there to open the gate, do you mind if I sleep over?" She asked blushed.
Tomoyo was going to sleep over in my house, this week can't get any better, I mean C'mon no parents! "Um...okay, I'm sure my Mom and Dad won't mind," I said. I walked up to My room with Tomoyo following me. I turned on my lights and entered a code to turn on the light.
'"Welcome of my room, it has everything a room needs, radio, private bathroom, closet, dresser and a limited zone," I said showing her everything by pointing.
"Limited zone?" She said walking over to my bed and lying on it. "No, meaning no one goes in the room. I was a small door but big enough to go threw. "What's in it?" She asked smiling at me. "Nothing, just stuff and it got a finger print code so no one goes in, so don't even think about it, I get you something to sleep in," I said walking off.
Tomoyo fell asleep in my bed and I was down stairs with his laptop typing out a new song. I stopped typing and looked at the lyics. It was about two in the morning. I couldn't sleep, I was so full emotions that hit him he just had to write it down. My watch begain glowing. It was 2:03am. I sighed and walked up to my room to see if Tomoyo was okay.
I opened the door slowly and saw Tomoyo under the cover her hair was in her face. I walked to the window and opened it was little. Eriol turned and looked at Tomoyo. I began humming the song I was writing. I walked to Tomoyo and tucked her hair over her ear. I wish I...... thought trailing off as I sat on the bed. Tomoyo moaned and smiled. I begain to feel sleepy now seeing her sleep so peacefully. I bent down and kissed Tomoyo softly on her cheek.
Tbc.....

I heard Ryo telling to kick him so I did. I took off my heavy bag and hit him in the stomach with it. Then I felt someone pull me back, it was the teachers breaking up the fight. I want more, I wanted to fight more Ichi was mine and I wanted to finish it.
After the bell rang Ichi and I went the principle's office and we sat in these weird stiff chairs in front of his desk. "I am very ashamed of you two, fighting before school. This is not dismissable, you both was have phone calls to your parents today," He said. "Sir my parents are out of town," I said dully.
"Fine, I'll let you off with a warning and that's all if this happens again on my school ground you will have summer school with me," He said. I walked out the room and saw Tomoyo sitting on the seats the hall were empty and quite. Tomoyo looked up and ran over to me and for some reason she hugged me, so I hugged her back. She looked up at me. "I'm so sorry, Eriol." She said. I cheek began to hurt from the punch Ichi led on me. "Don't be, it was my fault, I just got pissed off that's all, this isn't the first school fight I've had," He said. Well, it was the first fight he had in a long time in this school.
Tomoyo released and smiled. "Your a pretty good fighter," She said as we began to walked to out classes. "Really?" I asked and she nodded yes. She stopped at her English class door and smiled at me. "Yes, I would love to have dinner at your place," She said. I blushed.
"I know where you live don't worry, I'll be there a seven," She said still smiling and then she walked a little closer to me and kissed my sore cheek. "That should help," She said opening the door. I touch my cheek, and blushed. I looked at my watch I was about three minutes late for my class so I ran there thinking about Tomoyo that wouldn't leave me, and that kiss that drove me crazy.
Later that day, I asked my friends to come over to have dinner with me, they said yes as always, they would be there early to help me cook. I'm good at cooking I just hate doing it sometime. It was about four when I started I was making a two course meal. I was rice (like usual) with my favorite chicken, that I invited called one spice chicken with greens and a salad and Japans favorite noodle soup with crabs. I started on the soup the noodles took longer because you had to get them just right.
I began making spicy chicken while I waited for the noodles to finish. The door bell rang I went to answer it. "Hey Eriol, hope you don't mind, my Mom want me to bring some egg rolls. "That's cool, just as long as it doesn't have squid in them like the last time I invited you to dinner," I said. "Squid free dude," Suzy, answered taking off her shoes. Ryo went to the stereo and but on some techo. "Suzy set the table will you," I said walking back to the kitchen.
About twenty-seven minutes later Suzy had the table set nicely and the cake for dessert was baking while everything else was ready and we were putting it on the table while dancing. I never really danced much but I felt pretty good. The door bell rang about two minutes to seven.
I wasn't really thinking the music was up really loud and I opened the door seeing Tomoyo in my face I blushed as I looked at what she was wearing it was a long shirt made of satin and a purple velvet tube top with a bare back. "Hope I'm not late," She said smiled. Eriol blinked and sighed. "No, come in." He said. Veil and Suzy were dancing and laughing while Ryo's eyes was next to the speaker looking at some CD's.
Tomoyo looked around and smiled. Eriol picked up the stereo remote and turned it off. Veil was still holding Suzy and then the music faded. "Hey what the hell was-" Veil said then everyone looked at Tomoyo. "Tomoyo?" Suzy said forgetting that she was coming. Tomoyo waved and blushed I could tell.
"Okay guys let's eat," Ryo said breaking the silence the dawned upon them or a moment. Everyone walked to the table. "Oh forgot," Eriol said running to the kitchen and getting a bottle. It was a wiser, his dad called it, if anyone new came to the house they had to drink from the water down wine as a welcome.
Eriol came back with the black bottle and poured a little of the water down wine in her glass. "Drink up," I said handing her the cup. Tomoyo took the glass and gulped down. Tomoyo made a face after she swallow. "What was that," She said in a hoarse voice. "Something, my family did before I was born, if someone new in the house comes they have to drink the wiser we call it as a welcome," I said.
"What is it?" She asked sitting next to Suzy. "20-year-old watered down wine," I said. Tomoyo laughed. "That's some welcome." She said. Everyone began eating and talking about movies and stuff, I felt really good, the food was good and the flowing emotion was good too. After dessert everyone was quiet while I was up stairs with Suzy looked for something.
"Hey look, the old karaoke," Eriol said blowing the dust off the top. "Think'll still work?" Suzy asked. I nodded and picked it up. As I walked down the stairs, Tomoyo seemed to being enjoying her self talking to Veil. "Hey look, you have lift off," Suzy said. Veil looked at what Eriol was carrying down the stairs.
"What's that?" Veil asked. "It's the old karaoke, remember." Eriol said with a little chuckled coming down the stairs. "I hate that thing, I lost a bet to that and I had to sing Faith Hill in a Tutu," Veil told Tomoyo. Tomoyo smiled and laughed. Eriol's hand began to hurt a little when he put in on the coffee table that was in the dinning room.
Suzy pulled it up and turned on the power. Eriol put three different colors plug in the T. v, so the words would show on the screen. Suzy opened the CD playing and put in a CD. Eriol plugged the microphone in the system and looked around the at his friends and Tomoyo. "Okay, who's first?" Eriol said holding the mic. "Have an about we draw straw the shortest straw goes first," Ryo suggested taking out his straws that he always carried around with him.
Eriol put down the mic and walked over to Ryo with his straws. Eriol took one with his eyes close, then Tomoyo, Suzy, Veil and Ryo last everyone looked at there straws. Ryo had the shortest one. "Damn," He said. "Why me," He said.
It was about 11:30 and all of us were was watching some anime called X: The motion picture.
Ryo felt his phone vibrate. I paused the movie. Ryo took and phone out and pressed the talk button. "Yeah? I'm at Eriol's house.....I thought you said that-.....no.....yes....I thought the baby-sitter was doing that......no it's dad's fault, he's never home,......okay, God," Ryo hung up his phone and putting it back in his pocket. "I have to go you guys, My little brother broke his leg playing with my dad shoes outside," He said.
"I might not be at school tomorrow, so I'll see you later, Dinner was great." Ryo showed himself out and I ran over to the door. "Ryo," He called. Ryo stopped and turned around. "I'll see you later, okay." I said throwing him his jacket he left behind. Ryo waved and walked down the street.
It was not 12:20 Suzy and Veil left and it was only myself and Tomoyo, along. Eriol was kinda nervous being around Tomoyo all by myself. Tomoyo got up and took her phone out of a hidden pocket. "Hello?" She said. "Mom, you okay? you sound a little shaken up......Oh God, how did that happen........but, I can't that would be rude......." She said. I was in the kitchen with my face in the freezer trying to clam down with the ice cold air. "Mmmm," I sighed leaning in a little more.
"Okay......I'll see you soon........oh, and Mom remember your breathing.......right inhale deep, exhale deep." Tomoyo hung up the phone walked in the kitchen seeing my head in the freezer. "Eriol what are you doing?" Tomoyo asked stopping in the door way. I shut the freezer and looked at Tomoyo.
"Nothing," I said. I didn't know what to do, she was in front of me, I was about to tell I like her and then- "Eriol, My Mom is out of town and the engine died on the free way and I can't get in my house because of all the bodyguards aren't there to open the gate, do you mind if I sleep over?" She asked blushed.
Tomoyo was going to sleep over in my house, this week can't get any better, I mean C'mon no parents! "Um...okay, I'm sure my Mom and Dad won't mind," I said. I walked up to My room with Tomoyo following me. I turned on my lights and entered a code to turn on the light.
'"Welcome of my room, it has everything a room needs, radio, private bathroom, closet, dresser and a limited zone," I said showing her everything by pointing.
"Limited zone?" She said walking over to my bed and lying on it. "No, meaning no one goes in the room. I was a small door but big enough to go threw. "What's in it?" She asked smiling at me. "Nothing, just stuff and it got a finger print code so no one goes in, so don't even think about it, I get you something to sleep in," I said walking off.
Tomoyo fell asleep in my bed and I was down stairs with his laptop typing out a new song. I stopped typing and looked at the lyics. It was about two in the morning. I couldn't sleep, I was so full emotions that hit him he just had to write it down. My watch begain glowing. It was 2:03am. I sighed and walked up to my room to see if Tomoyo was okay.
I opened the door slowly and saw Tomoyo under the cover her hair was in her face. I walked to the window and opened it was little. Eriol turned and looked at Tomoyo. I began humming the song I was writing. I walked to Tomoyo and tucked her hair over her ear. I wish I...... thought trailing off as I sat on the bed. Tomoyo moaned and smiled. I begain to feel sleepy now seeing her sleep so peacefully. I bent down and kissed Tomoyo softly on her cheek.
