Say That You Want Me

Disclaimer: I do not own the characters in this story. They belong to CLAMP. Thought the idea is mine and mine alone. From my weird thinking brain ya know... um... small note, the characters, especially Eriol, may be a bit out of character...

"Oh Eriol, you are so mean to me!" Tomoyo laughed as she wiped her raven black hair out of her face. She was soaked from the water balloon that they were throwing around. "Why do you have to be so weird?"

"Because that's who I am, Whiz Kid."

"I'm not Whiz Kid. Don't call me that. You always make me laugh." she giggle, "I'm so easily amused!" she said as she followed him onto the sidewalk.

"Yes, you are. You are the one soaked, hence the name 'Whiz Kid'. And that's why I don't have to do such hard stunts to amuse you." He smiled lightly, his navy colored eyes never leaving Tomoyo's amethyst ones.

"I was wondering..." Tomoyo stated, "If I should put on make up or not."

"What for? You look pretty anyway with out it." Eriol said, with a slight grimace, "You don't need that gunk all over your face." Tomoyo laughed at this.

"How about... If I dye my hair?" She held her hair up pretending it's a beautiful new do.

"How about not. You are fine the way you are. Don't change."

"Fine, fine." Tomoyo smiled as she let out a sigh.

They started walking, the sun was getting a bit too warm for comfort. Eriol lived a block away from Tomoyo. He brought his skateboard over, so Tomoyo was standing on his board while Eriol pulled her along. They were practicing for a bit of the day. So far, Tomoyo can roll and almost ollie.

"Don't ever leave me, Eriol." Tomoyo suddenly said with a hint of hurt if it would actually happen. She clutched onto his arm even stronger.

Eriol was a bit confused by this, but he agreed anyway, "Tomoyo, you are my best friend. I would never leave you. Four years of our weird friendship, why would I ditch you now?"

"I know you wouldn't, but I just wanted you to promise. Pinky promise?" she held out her pinky, her nail prettily manicured a lavender color.

Eriol was used to Tomoyo's childish antics so he just entwined his pinky with hers, "I promise," he said and kissed the two pinkies. Tomoyo did the same. Tomoyo smiled, satisfied with the promise of Eriol being with her forever. It was comforting, she felt protected.

Later that evening, Tomoyo was on the phone with Eriol. She is always talking to him, telling him everything. Four years of talking. That is what their relationship was built on; trust and honesty. It was strong as hell and nothing can break them up, or atleast, not yet.

"You should help me with my homework, better yet, you should do it for me."

"Tomoyo, if you don't do it yourself you will never understand it." He heard her huff and puff through the phone.

"You've been through it before, just please do it for me!"

"I'll help you. Is that good enough?"

"Yes," satisfaction showing through her voice. "Your birthday is coming up, what do you want?"

"A pat on the back."

"Seriously! Tell me!"

"A hand shake." There was a brief pause, "Nothing from you, don't get me anything."

"Come on Eriol! You are turning 16!"

"Tomoyo... I have something to tell you..." His voice came through, nervous and serious.

"Eriol, what's wrong?"

"Nothing's wrong... It's just that..."

"Just what? Say it!"

" I can't, I got to go, I'll talk to you later Tomoyo!"

"Bye," said a quite confused girl. Hm... I wonder what's going on... She thought.

Since Eriol hung up the phone, Tomoyo was left bored and tired. She decided to nap for a while. What time is it? She thought when she first wake up... Just a one hour nap.... She was lazy that day so she just lay in bed and thought. Eriol is the coolest. It's weird how we met though. She suddenly slipped into a happy flashback.

" Eriol! Is that you?" He was riding away on a scooter, but as soon as Tomoyo called his name, he came back.

" Yes..." he said hesitantly, "You were the girl in my class last year huh? The combined class. You were the 4th grader and I was a 5th grader."

"That's right," she said, smiling proudly, "I didn't know we lived near each other! How come you never talked to me when we were in class?" Eriol didn't know how to anwser this. "Fine, don't answer me, but that's ok! Because I didn't talk to you either, but we can talk now!"

And with that, they would visit each other everyday. Their friendship grew and flourished.

Tomoyo snapped out of the memory and got up. The thought was happy, but she didn't want to reminisce in the past. She had nothing else to do so she got online to check her mail.

You got mail, It said. And sure enough, she did. From Eriol, no doubt too.

"Tomoyo-

We've been friends for a long time and we are really close. Like how you are the blossom and I'm the plum. Wait. That didn't make sense. But we are friends, that's all that matters um... right?

I don't know how to say this. I have to be honesty. Honesty is everything, must be honest. I'm going to explain what I mean by honesty. Honesty--- Probably this is the
first time I have done this and the stupidest thing I'm ever going to do... I like you... I just need to know if you like me because I'm tired of wondering and I can't keep it in any longer. I'm sure it's a "no", but I need to be positive. I'm not going to be mad or sad, just tell me.

When I say I like you, I mean as more than a friend. Gosh, I have never done this before in my entire life. I feel stupid.

Tell me what you think, I'm sorry to bother you.

Eriol."

Tomoyo stared blankly at the computer screen. A million thoughts ran through her mind. Her heart was racing, she was having trouble breathing. Did this mean what I think it means? Is he truly telling me the truth or is it just a prank? Why? When? HOW? The it hit her.. "Uh oh..." she said as she clicked the reply button.

Joanni: er... that's all I have for now.... please read and review, tell me what you think. And I shall continue when I get the next good idea.
