13 "Hiiragizawa-kun," Tomoyo scolded, returning Eriol's selection to the wall
|
rlm@2
|
14 rack, "you're impossible. Why can't we just get her chocolate, like
|
rlm@2
|
15 everyone else?"
|
rlm@2
|
16
|
rlm@2
|
17 Eriol favored Tomoyo with that special smile he reserved for those times
|
rlm@2
|
18 when he was planning something genuinely diabolical and therefore needed to
|
rlm@2
|
19 look as innocent as possible. "Not impossible, Tomoyo-san. Merely
|
rlm@2
|
20 difficult. Everyone gives chocolate on Valentine's Day in Japan--wouldn't
|
rlm@2
|
21 you rather do something special for Sakura-san?"
|
rlm@2
|
22
|
rlm@2
|
23 Eriol knew it to be a mistake the moment he said it. As soon as the word
|
rlm@2
|
24 /Sakura/ passed his lips, Tomoyo once again got that far-off look of
|
rlm@2
|
25 orgasmic pleasure that meant she was visualizing Sakura in something
|
rlm@2
|
26 frilly, handmade, and probably better left at Victoria's Secret if it
|
rlm@2
|
27 weren't fitted for a teenager.
|
rlm@2
|
28
|
rlm@2
|
29 Sure enough, Tomoyo whirled and clasped her hands together, declaring,
|
rlm@2
|
30 "Before, when she was capturing and mastering the Clow Cards, there were so
|
rlm@2
|
31 many different outfits I could've made for her! Why, there was this one I
|
rlm@2
|
32 made that one year--"
|
rlm@2
|
33
|
rlm@2
|
34 Eriol waited for Tomoyo's gushing description to end, a patient and
|
rlm@2
|
35 indulgent smile on his face. "And now that it's long over," he said in an
|
rlm@2
|
36 attempt to steer the conversation back on track, "what should we get her?"
|
rlm@2
|
37
|
rlm@2
|
38 Tomoyo tapped thoughtfully at her chin, looking around the store. "I don't
|
rlm@2
|
39 know," she said with such despair that she sounded as if she were
|
rlm@2
|
40 confessing to a double-murder. "The problem is, anything we buy her will
|
rlm@2
|
41 just embarass her."
|
rlm@2
|
42
|
rlm@2
|
43 "Undoubtedly," he agreed cheerfully. "So then, what about this one?"
|
rlm@2
|
44
|
rlm@2
|
45 Tomoyo shook her head firmly. "Too plain. It would never do for her."
|
rlm@2
|
46
|
rlm@2
|
47 "And this?"
|
rlm@2
|
48
|
rlm@2
|
49 Another shake, side-to-side. "No, that shade of green is wrong for her.
|
rlm@2
|
50 What about this?"
|
rlm@2
|
51
|
rlm@2
|
52 Eriol halted in his tracks for a moment, thinking. "No," he said after a
|
rlm@2
|
53 brief pause. "We're on the right track, but it's too glittery."
|
rlm@2
|
54
|
rlm@2
|
55 "But Sakura-chan /likes/ glitter!" Tomoyo protested.
|
rlm@2
|
56
|
rlm@2
|
57 "Oh yes," Eriol said with a winning smile. "But I think perhaps this is
|
rlm@2
|
58 the wrong occasion. On the other hand..." His eyes wandered over to another
|
rlm@2
|
59 section of the store. Tomoyo immediately saw what he'd spotted, and her
|
rlm@2
|
60 eyes glazed over. "Oh, that's perfect! Absolutely /perfect!/
|
rlm@2
|
61 Hiiragizawa-kun, we absolutely have to get that for her, it's just the
|
rlm@2
|
62 right shade of pink, and she will completely /die/ over it!"
|
rlm@2
|
63
|
rlm@2
|
64 Eriol winced at the volume of Tomoyo's voice, and hooked his arm in hers
|
rlm@2
|
65 to guide her in the right direction. It took some work, since she was busy
|
rlm@2
|
66 bouncing up and down and generally attracting attention with her
|
rlm@2
|
67 exclamations. Laughing gently, he picked up the item in question, and
|
rlm@2
|
68 turned it on. It gave off faint buzz, which died after a few seconds.
|
rlm@2
|
69 "We'll have to buy batteries, of course."
|
rlm@2
|
70
|
rlm@2
|
71 "Oh, don't you worry about that," Tomoyo said with the gleam of rapture in
|
rlm@2
|
72 her eyes. "I have plenty of those." |
