A/N: Yay! I made a Valentine's one-shot! I'm so proud of myself... lol.

And just so you know, this probably isn't very top-quality because I typed this in like two hours whereas these usually take about a week or so to plan out and edit... and I was really meaning to post this before it hit midnight, so it was still V-day, but it didn't work so well... and now i'm a day late (at least where i live)... but oh well! Hopefully it doesn't skip around too much and it doesn't seem too random, because I haven't had alot of time to proofread it and stuff, so tell me if needs improvement (which i know it does) and where it needs it, ok? Thanks!

EDIT: I went back and fixed some grammar and other little stuff... nothing big.

Things You Should Never Do Concerning Your Crush

3. run away after giving him a very special Valentine's Day card without staying to hear the reply.


Valentine's Day

"WAI!!" Sakura squealed with glee as she literally bounced into school grounds.

"Nee, Sakura-chan, you're very happy today!" Tomoyo commented, smiling sweetly. She was not nearly as hyper on the outside as the brown haired girl, though on the inside Tomoyo was looking forward to this day, too. "What makes you so excited?" Tomoyo already knew the answer, but she had a feeling that Sakura would like to recite her plans for today once more.

"It's Valentine's Day of course!" A huge smile was plastered on her face. "And it's the day that-" She stopped for a second, checked that no-one was listening, and whispered to Tomoyo, "that I tell Syaoran-kun that I love him!!"

But then, Sakura froze and her face turned pale. "Sakura-chan, what's wrong?" The raven-haired girl asked.

"Tomoyo-chan… what if Syaoran doesn't like the card I made? What if he says that he hates me? What if…" Sakura was practically shaking with fear now.

Tomoyo smiled reassuringly. "Don't worry, Sakura-chan. I'm sure he will love it. Especially since its from you."

Sakura blushed lightly, not knowing exactly what to say. So instead, she just mumbled with her head hung low, "Easy for you to say... you actually have a boyfriend!"

Tomoyo went on as if she didn't hear the comment. "So when will you give the card to him?"

"After school, maybe. When not many people are around." Sakura responded, not exactly confidently.

All of a sudden, the bell rang. "Hoe! We're going to be late!" Sakura whined. The two girls rushed into class just in time, and immediately took their seats. Class had begun already, and their teacher was talking, but Tomoyo managed sneaked a glance over at Sakura, saying with her eyes, It'll be fine.


The bell rang. At last, class was over.

Sakura's heart was beating at an insanely high speed, even though she tried to calm herself. This is it, she thought. Either he likes me, or he doesn't. Not that big of a deal.

She knew that Syaoran was always last to leave the room, every single day. Maybe it was because he didn't want to be stuck in the mob of students fighting to leave and that he liked to have some time to himself, or it was because he was really slow at packing up. But whatever the reason, it was still like the usual today.

Sakura forced herself to delay, so she could be in the room alone with him. She pretended to have lost a piece of paper, and flipped through her binder several times absentmindedly. She took note of the fact that Tomoyo had left, along with the majority of the class. A few more moments, and everyone else was gone, too.

And while she continued to "search" her binder, she ran through what she expected to happen one more time in her head.

Nee, Syaoran-kun, she would say, sounding casual. Did you get a lot of chocolate for Valentine's Day today?

Yes, he would reply. Or maybe he might say no. But this didn't matter too much.

That's nice. Then she would smile. Smiling is always good. And then, she would pretend that forgot, and say, Oh! I just remembered… I made a card for you, Syaoran-kun! Um… I don't know if you would like it… but… She would take the card out and hand it to him.

He would then open it, and read what she wrote very carefully, maybe several times. Afterwards, he would probably look at her and say, Sakura…

From there, Sakura assumed that it was the worst-case senario.

I'm sorry, but I don't feel the same way. Those words, even just thinking about it, gripped her heart like poisonous fangs.

Sakura would shake her head, and apologize back. No, it's not your fault…I'm really sorry!! Then she would run out of the classroom. After that, Sakura have the whole weekend to calm down.

The whole thing seemed so easy. It seemed so painless. But Sakura knew it wouldn't be. If only life could be like what you dreamed it to be…

Sakura stopped flipping aimlessly through her binder and took a deep breath, trying to slow her racing heart. She turned abruptly to the desk behind her, and, thank goodness, Syaoran was still there, just getting ready to leave.

She opened her mouth to talk, but it came out as a squeak. "Nee, Syaoran-kun…"

"Nani?" He answered, not exactly looking her in the eye.

"I…" Oh, god, why now? Her mouth had just gone completely dry and it was so difficult to talk! But Sakura knew it was now or never – she could probably never get into another situation like this anytime soon when it was just her and Syaoran. And besides, it was Valentine's Day, the ideal day to confess. "Did you get lots of chocolate?" Oops, that came out a little too loud and suddenly.

"Uhn," he mumbled back. Sakura failed to notice that her cheeks weren't the only ones that were pink.

You can do it, Sakura! "Oh! Syaoran-kun," Sakura just hoped this might sound believable. "I just remembered – I have a card for you!"

She reached into her bag and, with shaking hands, pulled out a beautiful Valentine's card. It was a bright red heart, complete with a fancy white border. On the front, she had so carefully printed Syaoran's name in a bold black, and on the back was where her very special message was written.

"Um… I'm not too sure if you will like it or not…" Syaoran took the card from her hands and studied it a little, before flipping it around and reading the back. He read it once… twice…

Dear Syaoran-kun,

I just wanted to say, that I really like you. But it's aright even if you don't like me, if you think nothing of me. Because I'm in love with you. You're my number one, and you always will be.

Love,

Sakura

Why didn't he say anything? Sakura really couldn't stand it anymore. She knew he was going to tell her that he didn't feel the same way. She knew she shouldn't, but she did anyways. She had completely lost control of herself.

"Syaoran-kun, I'm so sorry! I should've never thought that it would be possible for you to feel the same way about me. I'm sorry! See you later…" Tears were streaming down her face now as she grabbed her backpack and stormed out of the classroom, not even glancing back a single time.

"Sakura! Sakura!" Syaoran was now running after her, calling her, but in the midst of her misery Sakura was not able to hear . He finally caught up to her, gripped her shoulders, and turned her around to face him.

Sakura's once perfect face had become a wreck; her emerald eyes were red and puffy, her delicate cheeks were streaked with tears, and her light copper hair was now wet and icky.

"Syaoran-kun I'm so sorry…" Sakura managed through her tears.

"No, Sakura, I'm the one who should be sorry." Sakura looked at him with wide, teary eyes. "Um… I…" he stuttered as he reached into his pocket and pulled out a slightly crushes, folded piece of paper. "Here. Hopefully this will explain it."

Sakura took the paper curiously, and unfolded it. In it, he had drawn a heart – a very crude heart, by the way – and wrote something, almost a poem, but not quite, in the center of it. She read it over again and again, hoping that this was not a dream, and her eyes widened with every second.

"Syaoran-kun…"

He cleared his throat. "Ano… Sakura… will… will you be my girlfriend?"

"Yes…" Sakura whispered. "Yes I will."

Putting his arms around her, Syaoran pulled her close and in a matter of seconds, Sakura found herself locked her first kiss – with none other than Li Syaoran. It was so different from what she had always imagined, yet so much the same… It just felt so good…

And little did she know, the card that Syaoran had made had drifted from her hands, all the way to the corner of the hallway, where a very, very thrilled Tomoyo hid with a camera, along with an extemely reluctant Eriol.

"What's this?" Eriol said as the paper landed at his feet.

"Oh! Isn't this the card that Syaoran gave Sakura?" Tomoyo looked over at it excitedly. "Isn't it so romantic?" She squealed, eyes glistening. But suddenly, her expression turned evil. "Hehe… now I can blackmail Sakura and Syaoran…" Tomoyo rubbed her hands together as Eriol sweatdropped.

"Er… whatever… can I have the chocolate you promised me now?" demanded an impatient Eriol.

"Ok, fine… you really don't care, do you?" Tomoyo tried to fake the hurt in her voice, but it didn't work very well. She turned off her camera, and ran after Eriol, who was already pretty far away.

"Nu-uhn." Eriol stated.

"You're unbelievable… I can't believe I'm actually going out with a jerk like you… why can't you be more like Li-kun?"

"Oh, so you want me to write those sappy love letters? No thank you!" Eriol replied as they walked out of the building and out of sight.

Now, back to our favorite couple, who had finally broke their kiss, both embarrassed out of their minds, yet still holding the embrace.

"Syaoran-kun… do you think someone saw us?" Sakura asked worriedly.

"Nah…" Syaoran answered. "Well, hopefully not."

"Ok… that's good." Sakura looked at Syaoran shyly. "Um... Syaoran-kun… can I kiss you again?"

Syaoran didn't he reply. He just simply smiled pressed his lips onto hers once more.

Aren't you tired?
Are you not exhausted?
Because, even though you may not know it,
You've been running in my mind all day.


A/N: Yay! They finally kiss! Ahaha... I know... I didn't write it very good... but still! And I also put a bit of TomoRiol in there... but I know that part sucked too :D

Um... what else? Oh, um, you may recognize some parts of the letter that sakura wrote, because, yes, I did borrow that from the ending part of the second movie... and then, for the "poem" sorta thingy in italicts at the end, that actually came from one of my little sixth grade friends, so all the credit goes to him! i just merely editied it :P

Happy Valentine's Day!
