Chapter 3: Fragile

Syaoran's P.O.V: Syaoran's House

"Is she okay?" Ms. Kinomoto asked worriedly.

"Yeah she'll be fine, she just needs rest, so I will take care of her", I explained to Sakura's mom.

"Oh Syaoran you're such a sweet heart, thank you so much", she admitted.

"No thanks needed, she's my best friend and I care a lot about her, well okay then Bye", I said shutting the phone. I walked into the guest bedroom where Sakura was laying.

"Your mom said you'll take the day off tomorrow to get rest", I notified sitting beside her on the bed. She grabbed my hand and looked up at me as tears escaped her eyes.

"I caused you so much trouble, didn't I", she questioned as her tears continued to fall.

"Hey, don't cry, I don't mind at all", I assured "I'm just glad you're okay". She got up and hugged me really tightly; she continued to cry on my shoulder.

"I'm sorry Syaoran, I so sorry", she cried. I hugged her back trying to calm her down.

"Sakura don't cry, don't even worry about it", I comforted. She let go of me and I wiped her tears away.

"Smile, please just once", Syaoran asked laughing.

She looked away and pushed my hands away from her.

"Oh come on!" I pleaded like a kid. A smile slowly crept on her face.

"See you're much prettier when you smile", I joked.

"Shut up", she laughed. Sakura has always been so fragile; it's just so easy to make her cry.

Normal P.O.V: A Few Hours Later

Sakura's eyes slowly open, she scan the room as she soon remembered what happened before she had fell asleep in Syaoran's arms. The wonderful scene play backed in her mind.

Flash Back

"Hey Syaoran it's really cold in all of a sudden", she shivered. He took her in a loose yet very warm embrace.

"That better?" he asked.

"Much better, so Syaoran how do you stay that warm?" she asked.

"I don't know", he answered plainly gently putting his chin on Sakura's head. She could feel him play around with the curls in her hair as she slowly drifted off to sleep.

End of Flash Back

Suddenly a knock on her door disturbed her train of thought bringing her back in reality. Syaoran slowly opened her door bringing a tray of food.

"You up?" he asked.

"Um yeah, but what's that", she acquired pointing towards the food.

"It's your dinner, your mom sent it and we expect you to eat it all", he finished helping her sit up before placing the try in front of her.

"I can't possibly eat all this, or I'll explode!" she exclaimed sarcastically.

"Sakura, you need lots of energy. Being 15 isn't easy for anybody and your body is just telling you to slow down, now EAT!" he explained.

"Thanks so much for taking care of me", she said hugging him tightly. He gradually hugged her too. Syaoran soon let go of her and began to exit the room.

"Hey, where are you going", she asked sadly.

"Down stairs, I actually have homework to do right now", he replied.

"Oh, you probably don't have time to talk do you?" she assumed putting on a fake smile.

"Well I could use a break", he smiled noticing she could use some company. (A.N Awe he's so sweet! 3)

"Really, that's great", she actually smiled. He sat across from her on the edge of the bed and watched her eat. All he could think about was how absolutely cute Sakura was. The only reason he didn't confess to her was because he was afraid of getting rejected and that would ruin their friendship as well. And he could never imagine living a day without Sakura by his side.
