5 Wow, who'd have thought my first ever CCS fic would be a songfic? :P But | |
6 that's what it is. In honor of Valentine's Day, I decided to make my writing | |
7 debut with a short, sweet little songfic. It's a Sakura/Tomoyo story *ducks | |
8 flames from Sakura/Syaoran fans*, and it's mostly from Tomoyo's point of | |
9 view. Well, the song is at least, until the last few lines. After that, it | |
10 switches to Sakura's. Parts from Tomoyo's point of view are encased in | |
11 {}'s. | |
12 I used the song "I'll have to say I love you in a song", by Jim Croce. | |
13 Sorry if it's such an obscure one. ^^; I just thought it fit rather well. | |
14 All lyrics are encased in *'s. | |
15 I've never really seen CCS before, and only know a little about the | |
16 manga. So I'm not sure of the time period the storyline covers. In this | |
17 story, Sakura and Tomoyo are 13, but Syaoran and Sakura are (supposedly) | |
18 falling for one another. So if I got any timeline or story elements wrong, | |
19 please let me know. | |
20 Anyways, I think that's enough for the author's notes, ne? :P Now, on | |
21 with the story! ^_^ | |
22 | |

24 [Disclaimers: CCS, Sakura, Tomoyo, and Syaoran are not mine, the belong to | |
25 CLAMP. This story is for entertainment purposes, so please don't sue me. | |
26 "I'll have to say I love you in a song" is the property of the late, great | |
27 Jim Croce. | |
28 This is a yuri fanfiction, meaning love between 2 girls. If you are either | |
29 (a) homophobic and offended/bothered by this kind of thing or (b) a | |
30 Sakura/Syaoran fan, I suggest you leave now, as you will definitely not like | |
31 this. If you read this and are outraged/disturbed/etc, please do not blame | |
32 me. :P But if none of the above apply to you, enjoy! ^_^] | |

34 ~ | |
35 | |
36 *Well, I know it's kind of late, | |
37 I hope I didn't wake you.* | |
38 | |
39 {I hate to call this late. I know you're probably asleep and would hate | |
40 to disturb you or anyone else in the house. So if I did, gomen nasai.} | |
41 | |
42 *But what I got to say can't wait, | |
43 I know you'd understand.* | |
44 | |
45 {I just really needed to tell you this. It's been driving me crazy for | |
46 the longest time and if I put it off any longer, it's sure to kill me. But | |
47 you'll probably understand. You've always been so sweet...among many other | |
48 things.} | |
49 | |
50 *Every time I tried to tell you | |
51 The words just came out wrong.* | |
52 | |
53 {I've tried to say this to you several times, but no matter how hard I | |
54 tried, the words always got caught in my throat. And when I did manage to say | |
55 something, it always came out wrong, like "I love that color on you", or | |
56 "You're very important to me". Even if those things are true...they're not | |
57 what I wanted to say.} | |
58 | |
59 *So I'll have to say I love you in a song.* | |
60 | |
61 {What I'm trying to say, and what I've been trying to say for all this | |
62 time is...I love you, Sakura-chan. I always have, and I always will.} | |
63 | |
64 *Yeah, I know it's kind of strange, | |
65 But every time I'm near you, | |
66 I just run out of things to say.* | |
67 | |
68 {It's so strange. I'm usually so cheerful and talkative around people, | |
69 and you've always been the shy one. Yet every time we're together, this shy, | |
70 awkward feeling comes over me and I get so...tongue-tied. I don't know what | |
71 to say...} | |
72 | |
73 *I know you'd understand.* | |
74 | |
75 {So you'll probably understand what I'm saying...or at least I hope.} | |
76 | |
77 *Every time I tried to tell you | |
78 The words just came out wrong. | |
79 So I'll have to say I love you in a song.* | |
80 | |
81 {People always say that it's better to confess something like this in | |
82 person. But since I obviously can't do that, I've got to tell you over the | |
83 phone. In this message. I just hope nobody else hears this before you do, | |
84 Sakura.} | |
85 | |
86 *(Guitar solo)* | |
87 | |
88 {I can't believe it's come down to this, though...having to tell you my | |
89 true feelings in an answering machine message. Were the little messages I've | |
90 been sending for awhile not getting through? If that's the case...I'm not | |
91 surprised. I love you more than life itself, and I hate to say anything | |
92 negative about you...but you can be so dense sometimes, Sakura-chan. I know | |
93 you've got other important things to worry about, but still...*sigh* Maybe | |
94 it's my fault...maybe I'm being too subtle. | |
95 And the sad thing is...even if you had been able to pick up on the hints, | |
96 I know you couldn't feel the same way towards me as I feel towards you. I | |
97 know you already have someone...I know you're slowly falling in love with | |
98 Syaoran. But that is okay. I want you to be happy above all else, and if he | |
99 makes you happy, then I hope you 2 get together. I want only the best for | |
100 you, Sakura-chan. You deserve it.} | |
101 | |
102 *Every time the time was right, | |
103 All the words just came out wrong.* | |
104 | |
105 {*sigh* Even when the moment was just perfect, I always managed to | |
106 freeze...or he came by...sometimes I feel so frustrated. Why does something | |
107 that should be as simple as this have to be so hard to say? Why?} | |
108 | |
109 *So I'll have to say I love you in a song.* | |
110 | |
111 {As long as you get this message, I'll be satisfied. I just hope...you | |
112 don't feel any differently towards me...} | |
113 | |
114 *Yeah, I know it's kind of late, | |
115 I hope I didn't wake you.* | |
116 | |
117 {Again, if I woke you or your family, gomen nasai. I'll go | |
118 now...Goodnight, Sakura-chan. Sleep well. *voice breaks a little* I love you. | |
119 *hangs up*} | |
120 | |
121 *But there's something that I just got to say. | |
122 I know you'd understand.* | |
123 | |
124 I sneak dowstairs to the answering machine. I could've sworn Tomoyo just | |
125 left me a message...but why? Could I just be imagining things? I walk to the | |
126 table where the machine rests, and the light is flashing. Someone did leave a | |
127 message. I press the "Play" button and listen. | |
128 | |
129 *Every time I tried to tell you | |
130 The words just came out wrong. | |
131 So I'll have to say I love you in a song.* | |
132 | |
133 By the time the message is over, I can't even blink. Did I actually hear | |
134 this? Tomoyo loves me? I must be dreaming...I pinch myself just to be | |
135 sure...this seems so unreal. | |
136 "Ow!" I wince. I'm not dreaming. And now I feel guilty, rather stupid, | |
137 and relieved. She does love me... | |
138 I can't say that I was wishing the exact same thing the whole time. Until | |
139 recently, I only thought of her as my best friend. But lately, I'd been | |
140 noticing her in a different light...for the first time, I'm seeing just how | |
141 wonderful she really is...how beautiful she looks, especially in the | |
142 moonlight on a clear, starry night. And just how much she means to me. But | |
143 I've also had feelings for Syaoran, so I was confused. | |
144 'Not anymore,' I think. Quietly, I go back up to my room. I slip on my | |
145 shoes and jacket, then open the window and climb out. For a minute I consider | |
146 using the power of the Clow cards and flying to her house, but decide not to. | |
147 It'd be too risky. Shivering, I quickly walk to Tomoyo's house. | |
148 | |
149 Standing outside, I gaze into her window. It's dark, and the blinds are | |
150 drawn almost all the way. She's probably asleep...I consider going back and | |
151 just leaving her a message. 'No,' I tell myself. 'You owe it to both her and | |
152 yourself to tell her in person.' I sigh, then pick up a tiny pebble and throw | |
153 it up at her window, hoping not to wake her mother or her bodyguards. As I | |
154 see her get out of bed and walk to the window, I feel my heart pounding in my | |
155 chest. 'Please understand, Tomoyo-chan,' I pray. | |
156 "Sakura-chan?" she yawns, rubbing her eyes and looking very surprised to | |
157 see me. "Hi...can I talk to you?" I ask shyly. She nods, tossing a rope out | |
158 the window. I climb up as fast as I can, then practically fall into the room, | |
159 shivering. | |
160 "You must be freezing," she says sympathetically, and wraps a blanket | |
161 around my shoulders. "Thanks," I whisper. She smiles. "No problem," she says, | |
162 settling down next to me on the bed. The next few minutes are silent. | |
163 "What did you want to talk to me about?" she asks. I take a deep breath, | |
164 then look at her. "I got your message." She blushes, and almost looks | |
165 panicked. | |
166 "You did?" she nearly cries out. I nod. "I see..." She looks down. | |
167 "And?" | |
168 "And...now I understand. And I'm very sorry for not seeing it | |
169 before...for not picking up on your hints, and for not realizing I felt the | |
170 same way." She blinks. | |
171 "You mean...?" I nod. My heart beats faster, and I can barely get the | |
172 words out. But somehow, I manage. | |
173 "Aishiteru, Tomoyo-chan," I whispered. For a minute, she doesn't answer. | |
174 Then she turns to me, her eyes shiny and that beautiful smile spreading | |
175 across her face. | |
176 "Sakura-chan..." she whispers. Several tears of joy run down her cheeks. | |
177 I reach up and gently brush them away with my fingertips, then take her in my | |
178 arms. "I-I just can't believe this...I never thought you could feel the same | |
179 way," she chokes. I look into her eyes, my own sparkling with happiness. | |
180 "I only wish I'd known my own feelings sooner," I whisper. She smiles and | |
181 snuggles closer. | |
182 "It's okay. I'm just happy I finally told you," she sighs. "I love you so | |
183 much...finding out you feel the same way is just...more than I ever dreamed | |
184 possible." Then she looked a little concerned. "What about Syaoran?" she | |
185 asked. | |
186 "He's just a good friend. I thought I loved him, but it was only a | |
187 schoolgirl crush," I told her. We gaze into each other's eyes. She wraps her | |
188 arms around my chest, looking deliriously happy. | |
189 "I love you, Sakura-chan," she whispers. | |
190 "And I love you." I lean my head in slightly, as does she. Our eyes | |
191 close, and our lips slowly meet. | |
192 | |
193 ~End~ | |
194 | |
195 Wow, that was a bit longer than I expected! ^^ But it was pretty damn fun | |
196 to write. Sakura and Tomoyo are just too cute. ^-^ | |
197 Well, that's all for now. I dunno when I'll actually write my next CCS fic, | |
198 but I hope I can soon. ^^ | |
199 Till then, ja ne! ^_^ |
