rlm@2: Everything will be Okay - Part 1 rlm@2: rlm@2: by the interesting fusion of pork and kawaii[what else is a walrus made of?] rlm@2: rlm@2: rlm@2: A Card Captor Sakura story - the story half is mine, but CLAMP gets credit for rlm@2: CCS. If you're some easily offended chick go fuck off. Use a rake if you have rlm@2: one handy. Gays should have equal marriage rights. Marriage should cease to be rlm@2: observed. Ms Mizuki enjoys heavy BSSM. If you're still reading you have no rlm@2: right to flame me over any content, so please enjoy. ^W^ rlm@2: rlm@2: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ rlm@2: rlm@2: Tomoyo straightens Syaoran's tie as she looks him over, then gives a little rlm@2: nod. "You aren't going to mess this up, right? We spent all day working over rlm@2: what you're going to say..." She moves over to her camera bag, starting to rlm@2: check over the equipment. rlm@2: rlm@2: "He'll screw it up, I'm telling you. Don't worry though Li-kun, I'll still take rlm@2: you back after Sakura turns you down for looking such a fool." rlm@2: rlm@2: "Don't listen to her Syaoran. You can do this." Tomoyo gives him a smile and rlm@2: zippers the bag back up. This plan was best for sure. Meilin would forgive her rlm@2: surely after all. rlm@2: rlm@2: Li moves a hand up to his head, but stops just before running it through his rlm@2: well groomed hair. "C'mon you two, I know I'll do okay. Meilin..." A sigh. rlm@2: "You'd have been so much easier to deal with if you'd have just got mad at me. rlm@2: I'm going to ask her to marry me, why aren't you angry?" rlm@2: rlm@2: --- rlm@2: rlm@2: Tomoyo slides outside, leaving the two alone to talk that over and taking the rlm@2: time to think over the plan. Thinking to have Syaoran ask her under a sakura rlm@2: tree... the video would be nearly perfect. "If only it could be me who asks rlm@2: her..." rlm@2: rlm@2: --- rlm@2: rlm@2: "Sakura, stoooop~!!" The brunette turns around in the doorway and Kero slams rlm@2: into her chest, wings flapping wildly. He looks up at her, chest puffing as he rlm@2: catches his breath back. "I have to tell you... I hope she'll forgive me. rlm@2: Tomoyo is in love with you." rlm@2: rlm@2: He expected shock, disbelief, something. Instead Sakura heaves a deep sigh. "I rlm@2: don't love her back Kero. What can I do? She's my best friend, and I love her, rlm@2: but not in the same way. Anything I tell her will just make her even more rlm@2: sad..." Tears well in the corners of her eyes and she wipes them away with rlm@2: balled fists. "Syaoran's going to ask me soon Kero-chan, and I think I want to rlm@2: say yes. What do I do for Tomoyo??" rlm@2: rlm@2: --- rlm@2: rlm@2: Syaoran's heart was racing as the pink leaves fall calmly around him. She's not rlm@2: here yet. Don't worry, she'll be here soon. Sakura, I love you. Sakura, I love rlm@2: you. I think about you whenever we're apart... Tomoyo's words from his mouth. rlm@2: He shouldn't be doing this. It was a horrible idea, a lie to the girl he loved rlm@2: to say these words of half-truth. I won't do that, to any of them. What a rlm@2: selfish bastard I'm being... rlm@2: rlm@2: --- rlm@2: rlm@2: They both peered out from thier place in the bushes, Meilin watching Syaoran, rlm@2: Tomoyo's camera trailed on the path where she expects to see Sakura. rlm@2: rlm@2: "You're sure you aren't mad?" rlm@2: rlm@2: "I wish you weren't doing this, but I don't hate you for it Tomoyo. You're rlm@2: probably even making him happier, I should thank you." rlm@2: rlm@2: A tiny sigh, "They'll make a wonderful couple." rlm@2: rlm@2: Meilin's voice is bitter, "Yes, yes they will. You see it, and you act on it... rlm@2: you're a better woman than I am. He'll have no room in his life for me, she's rlm@2: too perfect. Do you find my Syaoran so faulty that she'll still need you by her rlm@2: side?" rlm@2: rlm@2: --- rlm@2: rlm@2: "Sorry for imposing on you." rlm@2: rlm@2: "Don't be silly Sakura-chan, you're always welcome here. I don't think Tomoyo rlm@2: will be out long, and to tell you the truth I'm glad to have a break from my rlm@2: work for tea." rlm@2: rlm@2: She bows as deeply as she can. "Sonomi, please, help me. I can't break her rlm@2: heart..." rlm@2: rlm@2: --- rlm@2: rlm@2: "He's going home? Why..." rlm@2: rlm@2: Tomoyo stares at Syaoran's back , camera held to the side, red light flashing rlm@2: as he suddenly, simply walks off. "Meilin, I think you have a unique rlm@2: opportunity jsut now. I wish you heartfelt luck... I'll wait for Sakura-chan rlm@2: here." rlm@2: rlm@2: --- rlm@2: rlm@2: Li frowns as Meling catches up to him, turning around to face her. "I love you. rlm@2: I don't only love you though. Can you accept that?" rlm@2: rlm@2: She pounces forward into his chest, arms wrapping tightly around his waist. rlm@2: "Li-kun you baka! Noone only loves one person. Are you choosing me?" rlm@2: rlm@2: He smiles down at her, wondering what he was doing. He loved Meilin dearly... rlm@2: much like a little sister, had he had one. "I'm not choosing -her-. Would you rlm@2: like to go out for supper? Daidouji has an amazing night planned." rlm@2: rlm@2: --- rlm@2: rlm@2: The waiting was bad for both of them. Eventually Sonomi was called away back to rlm@2: work, and given the run of the place Sakura moved to the gardens to wait. Had rlm@2: that sakura tree been outside Tomoyo's window before? rlm@2: rlm@2: --- rlm@2: rlm@2: Tomoyo has had bodyguards all her life, and she knows how to avoid them for a rlm@2: time when she really wants to. And so she gets back to her room without having rlm@2: to talk to anyone, ready to let her emotions out when she hears it come in her rlm@2: window faintly. "Tomoyo-chan..." rlm@2: rlm@2: Sakura's voice! She runs over, throws the window open, and she's standing there rlm@2: under the tree, looking radiantly beautiful with the light of the setting sun rlm@2: upon her. rlm@2: rlm@2: "I -DO- love you, Tomoyo-chan."
