Chapter 5

Proposal?


Easily Syaoran got used to Sakura, Tomoyo, and the twins, but one thing he was still wondering about was weither or not he knew them before. Sakura and Tomoyo couldn't figure that out either though, none of them could. Every now and then Tomoyo's boyfriend would come over and hang out with Syaoran, they'd talk a lot, mostly about Sakura and Tomoyo. Eriol would ask Syaoran why he moved there and not anywhere else and if he liked the place and if he liked Sakura. Syaoran would ask if Madison and Yung were his kids and he'd reply with a yes, Syaoran wouldn't say anything, but yes, he was starting to fall for Sakura.

Sakura and Tomoyo would also talk while they did, wondering what they were talking about in the spare room, why Tomoyo slept with Eriol, if Sakura liked Syaoran living there, if she liked him, and many more subjects we don't all want to hear about.

"So Syaoran, do you like Sakura?" Eriol asked with one of the biggest smiles on his face, "you seem pretty happy around her."

"Watashii…well...I kind of do, more like a friend then anything else though." Syaoran replied.

"You obviously know that Madison and Yung were my kids, they look so much like a cross between me and Tomoyo, I'm thinking of proposing to her soon, whadda you think?" Eriol asked.

"Really? I didn't know that actually, not until you just told me, but that sounds like a great idea, I mean you two love each other right?" Syaoran explained.

"Of course we do, and I'll be sure to try it sometime soon then, but I need you to find something out for me, Sakura and Tomoyo have the same ring size, ask Sakura what her ring size is for me, so Tomoyo doesn't get suspicious?" Eriol asked.

"Ano…how am I supposed to do that, just go up to her and ask her what her ring size is for me, what if she asks what I need it for?"

"Say you were curious as to how much smaller her fingers were from yours, compare first, before you ask her, it'll make more sense." Eriol explained.

Later on that day Syaoran went to Sakura's room and asked her to hold up her hand. He compared the hands together and asked. Sakura seemed curious as to why he was asking this to her, but she answered "size 5" and asked what his was, Syaoran didn't actually know his, so he assumed "size 7 or 8?". Syaoran went back to his room afterwards and wrote down the number "5" and went to bed.

Syaoran dreamed of proposing to a girl in a long white dress with long, auburn hair and emerald eyes, he couldn't get the face straight though, he didn't know who it was or who it looked like, that's all he could see. He also saw Eriol proposing to Tomoyo and then they had a joined wedding. It was weird because Sakura, Eriol, and Tomoyo had almost the exact same dream but from their own perspective.

The next day Eriol came over and got the ring size from Syaoran, once he got that, he took off to a ring shop and got a beautiful gold ring with a big diamond on it, it was perfect. He would propose to her, tonight.

Eriol went back to the house, hiding the box in his pocket until after dinner, Tomoyo was pretty happy to have Eriol there all day long, but Eriol knew that she'd be happier after they finished eating, he'd take her out on the patio in the back of the house, kneel down and ask her to marry him.

Tomoyo and Sakura served supper, Eriol ate pretty fast, he was very excited. Tomoyo was kind of worried, what was he up to.

"Tomoyo, will you come with me for a moment, please?" Eriol blurted out. Syaoran laughed in his head, he knew what was going on, he smiled.

"Eriol…okay…" Tomoyo agreed and got up to leave with Eriol. Once they were out of the house, Syaoran laughed and Sakura looked over to ask what was going on.

"Eriol…is going to propose to her, he got the ring today, that's why he came and left, then came back." Syaoran replied.

"Oh my gosh, really? How do you know, he told you?" Sakura asked.

"Of course."

Outside

"Tomoyo, there's something I've been meaning to ask you for quite some time now…" Eriol started then got down on one knee. Tomoyo knew what was coming at her now, she started to cry at the thought, "Tomoyo Daidouji, I love you very much, we have twins together and now I'm finally going to ask, Will you marry me Tomoyo?"

"YES! Oh Eriol! I love you!" Tomoyo pulled Eriol up, after he placed on the engagement ring into a hug and they stayed there until Sakura and Syaoran came dashing out with Madison and Yung. All with big smiles on their faces.
