CHAPTER TWO: LOUDER THAN WORDS

Syaoran looked around and sighed. Where had Sakura gone? He had seen her turn onto the street leading to the park, but… Just then, an idea hit him. He looked up and sure enough, there was Sakura, using the Fly Card.

Shaking his head, Syaoran ran toward the park and reached it just after Sakura did. Stepping softly so as not to alarm her, he watched her sit on her usual swing, head down. He frowned. Why was she upset? Feeling a pang in his chest at seeing her like this, Syaoran began to walk toward the oblivious Sakura.

Sakura felt tears in her eyes, and wondered why she was crying. Did she like Syaoran? Well, that answer came quickly enough - Yes, she did. But could she tell him that? Absolutely not. She was too afraid.

Then she felt that familiar grip on her shoulders, and her head whipped up to see Syaoran, smiling down at her but with worry in his eyes.

Gently, and cautiously, giving her the chance to pull away, Syaoran pulled Sakura up off the swing and held her against his chest, smoothing her hair. Sakura rested her head on his shoulder, content.

Maybe she didn't need to say anything. Maybe he already knew; had always known. Maybe this was his way of telling her he felt the same way. After all, actions speak louder than words, right?

"Sakura?" His voice, so softly used, broke gently into her thoughts.

"Yes?"

"Would you…. Like to…. Go to a movie on Saturday?"

"Of course Syaoran!" Sakura grinned up at him.

"Great." Relief was evident in his voice. Had he really imagined she might've said no? As if! "I'll come to your house around one?"

"Of course."

As if he was struggling with some inner conflict, Syaoran leaned down further, pulled back, and then quickly touched Sakura's lips with his, all in one swift motion.

Sakura blushed, smiling. "Syaoran…. I love you, Syaoran."

He nodded. "I love you, Sakura."

Finally, after all this time together, it had been confirmed. Love.
