In honor of Valentine's Day, I decided to make my writing 1.10 +debut with a short, sweet little songfic. It's a Sakura/Tomoyo story *ducks 1.11 +flames from Sakura/Syaoran fans*, and it's mostly from Tomoyo's point of 1.12 +view. Well, the song is at least, until the last few lines. After that, it 1.13 +switches to Sakura's. Parts from Tomoyo's point of view are encased in 1.14 +{}'s. 1.15 + I used the song "I'll have to say I love you in a song", by Jim Croce. 1.16 +Sorry if it's such an obscure one. ^^; I just thought it fit rather well. 1.17 + All lyrics are encased in *'s. 1.18 + I've never really seen CCS before, and only know a little about the 1.19 +manga. So I'm not sure of the time period the storyline covers. In this 1.20 +story, Sakura and Tomoyo are 13, but Syaoran and Sakura are (supposedly) 1.21 +falling for one another. So if I got any timeline or story elements wrong, 1.22 +please let me know. 1.23 + Anyways, I think that's enough for the author's notes, ne? :P Now, on 1.24 +with the story! ^_^ 1.25 + 1.26 + 1.27 +[Disclaimers: CCS, Sakura, Tomoyo, and Syaoran are not mine, the belong to 1.28 +CLAMP. This story is for entertainment purposes, so please don't sue me. 1.29 +"I'll have to say I love you in a song" is the property of the late, great 1.30 +Jim Croce. 1.31 +This is a yuri fanfiction, meaning love between 2 girls. If you are either 1.32 +(a) homophobic and offended/bothered by this kind of thing or (b) a 1.33 +Sakura/Syaoran fan, I suggest you leave now, as you will definitely not like 1.34 +this. If you read this and are outraged/disturbed/etc, please do not blame 1.35 +me. :P But if none of the above apply to you, enjoy! ^_^] 1.36 + 1.37 + ~ 1.38 + 1.39 +*Well, I know it's kind of late, 1.40 +I hope I didn't wake you.* 1.41 + 1.42 + {I hate to call this late. I know you're probably asleep and would hate 1.43 +to disturb you or anyone else in the house. So if I did, gomen nasai.} 1.44 + 1.45 +*But what I got to say can't wait, 1.46 +I know you'd understand.* 1.47 + 1.48 + {I just really needed to tell you this. It's been driving me crazy for 1.49 +the longest time and if I put it off any longer, it's sure to kill me. But 1.50 +you'll probably understand. You've always been so sweet...among many other 1.51 +things.} 1.52 + 1.53 +*Every time I tried to tell you 1.54 +The words just came out wrong.* 1.55 + 1.56 + {I've tried to say this to you several times, but no matter how hard I 1.57 +tried, the words always got caught in my throat. And when I did manage to say 1.58 +something, it always came out wrong, like "I love that color on you", or 1.59 +"You're very important to me". Even if those things are true...they're not 1.60 +what I wanted to say.} 1.61 + 1.62 +*So I'll have to say I love you in a song.* 1.63 + 1.64 + {What I'm trying to say, and what I've been trying to say for all this 1.65 +time is...I love you, Sakura-chan. I always have, and I always will.} 1.66 + 1.67 +*Yeah, I know it's kind of strange, 1.68 +But every time I'm near you, 1.69 +I just run out of things to say.* 1.70 + 1.71 + {It's so strange. I'm usually so cheerful and talkative around people, 1.72 +and you've always been the shy one. Yet every time we're together, this shy, 1.73 +awkward feeling comes over me and I get so...tongue-tied. I don't know what 1.74 +to say...} 1.75 + 1.76 +*I know you'd understand.* 1.77 + 1.78 + {So you'll probably understand what I'm saying...or at least I hope.} 1.79 + 1.80 +*Every time I tried to tell you 1.81 +The words just came out wrong. 1.82 +So I'll have to say I love you in a song.* 1.83 + 1.84 + {People always say that it's better to confess something like this in 1.85 +person. But since I obviously can't do that, I've got to tell you over the 1.86 +phone. In this message. I just hope nobody else hears this before you do, 1.87 +Sakura.} 1.88 + 1.89 +*(Guitar solo)* 1.90 + 1.91 + {I can't believe it's come down to this, though...having to tell you my 1.92 +true feelings in an answering machine message. Were the little messages I've 1.93 +been sending for awhile not getting through? If that's the case...I'm not 1.94 +surprised. I love you more than life itself, and I hate to say anything 1.95 +negative about you...but you can be so dense sometimes, Sakura-chan. I know 1.96 +you've got other important things to worry about, but still...*sigh* Maybe 1.97 +it's my fault...maybe I'm being too subtle. 1.98 + And the sad thing is...even if you had been able to pick up on the hints, 1.99 +I know you couldn't feel the same way towards me as I feel towards you. I 1.100 +know you already have someone...I know you're slowly falling in love with 1.101 +Syaoran. But that is okay. I want you to be happy above all else, and if he 1.102 +makes you happy, then I hope you 2 get together. I want only the best for 1.103 +you, Sakura-chan. You deserve it.} 1.104 + 1.105 +*Every time the time was right, 1.106 +All the words just came out wrong.* 1.107 + 1.108 + {*sigh* Even when the moment was just perfect, I always managed to 1.109 +freeze...or he came by...sometimes I feel so frustrated. Why does something 1.110 +that should be as simple as this have to be so hard to say? Why?} 1.111 + 1.112 +*So I'll have to say I love you in a song.* 1.113 + 1.114 + {As long as you get this message, I'll be satisfied. I just hope...you 1.115 +don't feel any differently towards me...} 1.116 + 1.117 +*Yeah, I know it's kind of late, 1.118 +I hope I didn't wake you.* 1.119 + 1.120 + {Again, if I woke you or your family, gomen nasai. I'll go 1.121 +now...Goodnight, Sakura-chan. Sleep well. *voice breaks a little* I love you. 1.122 +*hangs up*} 1.123 + 1.124 +*But there's something that I just got to say. 1.125 +I know you'd understand.* 1.126 + 1.127 + I sneak dowstairs to the answering machine. I could've sworn Tomoyo just 1.128 +left me a message...but why? Could I just be imagining things? I walk to the 1.129 +table where the machine rests, and the light is flashing. Someone did leave a 1.130 +message. I press the "Play" button and listen. 1.131 + 1.132 +*Every time I tried to tell you 1.133 +The words just came out wrong. 1.134 +So I'll have to say I love you in a song.* 1.135 + 1.136 + By the time the message is over, I can't even blink. Did I actually hear 1.137 +this? Tomoyo loves me? I must be dreaming...I pinch myself just to be 1.138 +sure...this seems so unreal. 1.139 + "Ow!" I wince. I'm not dreaming. And now I feel guilty, rather stupid, 1.140 +and relieved. She does love me... 1.141 + I can't say that I was wishing the exact same thing the whole time. Until 1.142 +recently, I only thought of her as my best friend. But lately, I'd been 1.143 +noticing her in a different light...for the first time, I'm seeing just how 1.144 +wonderful she really is...how beautiful she looks, especially in the 1.145 +moonlight on a clear, starry night. And just how much she means to me. But 1.146 +I've also had feelings for Syaoran, so I was confused. 1.147 + 'Not anymore,' I think. Quietly, I go back up to my room. I slip on my 1.148 +shoes and jacket, then open the window and climb out. For a minute I consider 1.149 +using the power of the Clow cards and flying to her house, but decide not to. 1.150 +It'd be too risky. Shivering, I quickly walk to Tomoyo's house. 1.151 + 1.152 + Standing outside, I gaze into her window. It's dark, and the blinds are 1.153 +drawn almost all the way. She's probably asleep...I consider going back and 1.154 +just leaving her a message. 'No,' I tell myself. 'You owe it to both her and 1.155 +yourself to tell her in person.' I sigh, then pick up a tiny pebble and throw 1.156 +it up at her window, hoping not to wake her mother or her bodyguards. As I 1.157 +see her get out of bed and walk to the window, I feel my heart pounding in my 1.158 +chest. 'Please understand, Tomoyo-chan,' I pray. 1.159 + "Sakura-chan?" she yawns, rubbing her eyes and looking very surprised to 1.160 +see me. "Hi...can I talk to you?" I ask shyly. She nods, tossing a rope out 1.161 +the window. I climb up as fast as I can, then practically fall into the room, 1.162 +shivering. 1.163 + "You must be freezing," she says sympathetically, and wraps a blanket 1.164 +around my shoulders. "Thanks," I whisper. She smiles. "No problem," she says, 1.165 +settling down next to me on the bed. The next few minutes are silent. 1.166 + "What did you want to talk to me about?" she asks. I take a deep breath, 1.167 +then look at her. "I got your message." She blushes, and almost looks 1.168 +panicked. 1.169 + "You did?" she nearly cries out. I nod. "I see..." She looks down. 1.170 + "And?" 1.171 + "And...now I understand. And I'm very sorry for not seeing it 1.172 +before...for not picking up on your hints, and for not realizing I felt the 1.173 +same way." She blinks. 1.174 + "You mean...?" I nod. My heart beats faster, and I can barely get the 1.175 +words out. But somehow, I manage. 1.176 + "Aishiteru, Tomoyo-chan," I whispered. For a minute, she doesn't answer. 1.177 +Then she turns to me, her eyes shiny and that beautiful smile spreading 1.178 +across her face. 1.179 + "Sakura-chan..." she whispers. Several tears of joy run down her cheeks. 1.180 +I reach up and gently brush them away with my fingertips, then take her in my 1.181 +arms. "I-I just can't believe this...I never thought you could feel the same 1.182 +way," she chokes. I look into her eyes, my own sparkling with happiness. 1.183 + "I only wish I'd known my own feelings sooner," I whisper. She smiles and 1.184 +snuggles closer. 1.185 + "It's okay. I'm just happy I finally told you," she sighs. "I love you so 1.186 +much...finding out you feel the same way is just...more than I ever dreamed 1.187 +possible." Then she looked a little concerned. "What about Syaoran?" she 1.188 +asked. 1.189 + "He's just a good friend. I thought I loved him, but it was only a 1.190 +schoolgirl crush," I told her. We gaze into each other's eyes. She wraps her 1.191 +arms around my chest, looking deliriously happy. 1.192 + "I love you, Sakura-chan," she whispers. 1.193 + "And I love you." I lean my head in slightly, as does she. Our eyes 1.194 +close, and our lips slowly meet. 1.195 + 1.196 + ~End~ 1.197 + 1.198 + Wow, that was a bit longer than I expected! ^^ But it was pretty damn fun 1.199 +to write. Sakura and Tomoyo are just too cute. ^-^ 1.200 +Well, that's all for now. I dunno when I'll actually write my next CCS fic, 1.201 +but I hope I can soon. ^^ 1.202 + Till then, ja ne! ^_^ 1.203 \ No newline at end of file
