Finishing Files,
Tomoyo was busy, once again, with her work as the student council president. She had so many files to read and sign and put away that she felt like the president of a super company of some kind. It was difficult, working alone. She had read from multiple sources about how many class presidents had friends help, but what friends did she have? This is exactly why she had printed out a few copies of a help wanted notice. It wasn't exactly the safest move, but it would at least help her with her work. She turned her head as someone knocked on the door, "Yes, come in"
Signing our Forever
Tomoya slowly turned the handle on the door, then pushed it open, "Good afternoon, Tomoyo-san" he said happily to his old friend. It had been a while since he had seen her due to how they had separated, but, if it wasn't for them separating, Tomoyo wouldn't be as far as she was now. He smiled as her face both lit up and twisted with surprise.
"Tomoya-kun. What are you doing here?" Tomoyo asked, her head bobbing up and down as she slowly scanned his person, letting her eyes savor the sight. Due to the rather forceful advice of a previous advisor, they had left their love to allow her to be a better student council teacher. What really surprised her was that Tomoya had decided to help even though he had graduated.
Tomoya's smile wavered for a moment, then returned as he said, "I was visiting an old friend of mine who still comes here, and I ended up seeing your help wanted notice."
Tomoyo resumed looking through her files, "You do realize that if you become my aide, then the rest of the student council will try to drive you away once again, right?" She desperately wanted Tomoya to be the one to help her, but the fear of him being forced away from her again made her almost bite her tongue.
"Of course. You know how they are. They're probably tearing down your help wanted notices as we speak." Tomoya replied, chuckling.
"This isn't a laughing matter, Tomoya-kun. You could get in a lot of trouble if the council decided you were holding me back again"
"Oh, what could they do? I don't even come to this school anymore. They, legally, couldn't lay a hand on me even if they wanted to" Tomoya said in a triumphant tone.
"I suppose you're right…" Tomoyo nodded, then pointed at the files on the other side of the room, "Why don't you get to work putting those files in that file cabinet"
"Right." Tomoya nodded, taking his coat off and hanging it on the door knob. He casually walked over to the files and sat down, checking the tabs on the files and placing them in the proper position. Even with him simply sitting here not talking to Tomoyo, Tomoya was happy. He enjoyed her presence, and longed for their lover days once again. He hadn't found anyone who filled the hole in him that was once Tomoyo. He just wished there was a way for them to be together again… He decided to start at least a minor conversation, "Rather cold in here, isn't it?"
"Yes, it is. The school air conditioning has been acting weird lately" Tomoyo explained with little to no emotion.
"Ah… All right…" Tomoya sighed. He continued filing, his mind filled with memories of their lover days. In his daydreaming he happened to drop one of the files.
"Don't lose the papers in the files, Tomoya-kun" Tomoyo said over her shoulder.
"Yeah, don't worry" Tomoya replied, picking up the papers. He glanced over the papers, then froze. These… are… he pulled out a pen and quickly wrote his name on one of the lines on the paper. There… He put the file into the file cabinet and attempted to resume working, but was interrupted by Tomoyo pulling the file out again, "What did you write on this file, Tomoya-kun?" She asked as she opened the file, "I didn't ask you to…" she was cut off as she read where Tomoya had written his name, "Marital status: Engaged to: Okazaki Tomoya…" Her gaze left the paper and shifted to Tomoya, "Tomoya-kun… why did you…"
"Tomoyo-san… I put that there… because…" he had been waiting for this day ever since they had broken up. He had been saving money for a long while so he could finally buy it, then waited for the right moment, and, apparently, fate had smiled upon him today, "Tomoyo-san…" he took her hand walked over to his coat, slipped his hand into one of the pockets, then pulled out a black box. He let go of her hand, then opened the box, smiling once again at the shock etched into her face, "Will you marry me?"
"To….Tomoya-kun…" Tomoya didn't expect this kind of reaction. Knowing how tough Tomoyo was, he expected her to simply say yes… but instead, tears began rolling down her cheeks, "Tomoya-kun… of course I will!" She flew forward, embracing him and pressing her lips against his. Tomoya simply returned the kiss and embraced her as well, letting them both warm each other, the kind press of the ones lips against the other. This had become Tomoya's paradise, a place away from everyone else and with his one love; and this had become Tomoyo's Sanctuary, a moment away from her duties as student council president. They remained like this for what seemed like forever, gently pushing further with their kiss, turning it from a normal kiss into a passionate struggle to pleasure the other, until, finally, the two broke the kiss for air, wishing they could resume once more, but also realizing that they had to continue working. They would have plenty of time after school to continue their moment after their work was done. Tomoya leaned in and whispered the date for their wedding to her, then walked back to the other side of the room.
Tomoya's smile warmed Tomoyo even after their bodies had moved apart. She sat down and resumed her work, thinking about what she would wear the day she graduated, for that would also be the day that she would become a wife with a man she will never want to leave… Ever. She knew their love would last an eternity, and, even though it was once broken, their relationship had once again grown. This would be their forever.
