A Date

Ch. 2 After

"I'm glad both of you are alright," Tomoyo sighed in relief when the elevator opened again and her friends not hurt. She is listening to Sakura who told her how surprised she was when Eriol joins them again and ask them if Sakura or Li was hurt or something. "He was the one who report the error," the amethyst eyed girl explains to Sakura and Li before adding with a bow to him, "Arigatou gozaimasu, Hiiragizawa-kun."

"Arigatou, Eriol-kun," Sakura smiles to him thankfully, while Li's face look red and he is facing away when said, "A-arigatou."

"I didn't do anything much but if you guys feels like that then I'll say, you're welcome."

The four of them walk out from the building still chatting about the elevator jam and suddenly Sakura look at her watch. "Oh! I almost forgot to prepare dinner! Sorry, Tomoyo, Eriol-kun, Li-kun, I need to go back and buy the ingredients," she apologizes then remember something. "Ah, Tomoyo-chan, you need to wait for your bodyguards to pick you up, right?" Sakura promised her that she would accompany her to wait, Tomoyo smiles gently at her, "It's ok, Sakura-chan. I can wait for them alone. I'll be alright."

"But…"

"How about if I accompany her, Sakura-san?" The blue eyes boy gains their attention. "And Li-kun can walk you home to prepare dinner. What do you think, Daidouji-san?"

Li's face becomes red instantly while Sakura try to refuse because she doesn't want to trouble him. Tomoyo agrees about the idea of Li and Sakura walked home together because it was a great idea. Actually, she is like Sakura, doesn't want to trouble the other party. However, if she refuses then Li will lose the solid reason to walk home together with Sakura. In the end, she said with smile and bow to him, "I'll be in your debt, Hiiragizawa-kun."

"It'll be my honor, Daidouji-san," Eriol did the same.
"But, but…"

"Sakura-san, it's almost dawn. It's not safe to a girl walk alone, don't you think, Li-kun?" The amber eyed boy look determined in his red face that nodding and said to Sakura in nervous tone, "I-I'll walk you home."

With that, they were waving good byes. After Sakura and Li gone from their sight, Tomoyo is chuckling while saying, "That was a really great idea, Hiiragizawa-kun."

"Is that so?" Eriol is chuckling too. "I just think he needs help."

"He does needs help," her chuckles stop when she saw the boy beside him offers his hand to her. Tomoyo looks at that and not understand until Eriol said, "It's not safe for a girl to be alone, let me hold your hand so you won't be alone."

She feels her heart beating faster and her face warmer because the cheeks blushing. The little girl couldn't pressed her smiling lips as her hand being hold by him. A pair of blue eyes look through her. Despite its color more like cool tone, Tomoyo feels warm inside her heart. Their hands that intertwined as they are walking side by side, give a protection feeling for her. She feels safe and protected just by holding his hands. It's weird. To think about it, they are in the same age, although Eriol seems aloof and indifferent than the other boys Tomoyo knew, it still didn't explain this feeling to be safe. But… it's not bad. It's the opposite though, it's a pleasant feeling.

"Daidouji-san," his voice makes her blinking before look at him and smiles. "Yes?"

There are concerns in his blue eyes when he said, "Are you tired? You keep silent for several minutes."

"O-oh, it's okay," she puts her usual smile, "I'm fine, please don't worry about me."

"Are you sure?"

The girl nods, "Yes, Hiiragizawa-kun."

"Maybe we should sit somewhere while waiting for your bodyguards, what do you think, Daidouji-san?"

The amethyst eyed girl silent for a moment. Thinking that if they are sitting now, their hands will separate again. That thought makes her heart feel ache. She doesn't want his hand left hers. "How about we walks around first? There are Teddy Bear Merchandise Shop that I want to see."

Eriol looks at her in silent. It's like he tries to read her mind so Tomoyo facing the other to the shop that she mentioned about. "Do you mind, Hiiragizawa-kun?"

"I have no objection, Daidouji-san," she looks at him again as he smiles gently to her and she can feel her hand caresses by his. It's like her thought has been seen by him. Tomoyo's face becomes redder as they walk to the shop.

TRING! TAR! TAR! TAR!

"Kya!" Tomoyo closed her eyes due to the sound coming to them as they walked in.

"CONGRATULATIONS!"

"It's alright, Daidouji-san," Eriol reassured her by patting gently her hand that squeezing his hand by his other hand. Slowly, Tomoyo opens her eyes and saw many workers in the shop smiling and congratulating them. There are familiar face among them. "Congratulation, Eriol, Tomoyo-chan!" The face of brown reddish haired girl that met her this morning. Akizuki Nakuru. It seems her part-time job is here. The dark haired boy asked her, "Can you explain what is the meaning of this congratulation?"

"You guys are the 10.000 couple that enter this shop today! Congratulation! You guys get a free teddy bear keychain!" The girl excitedly gives them direction where a bunch of keychain with different styles for couples. "Please feel free to choose whatever you want."

Then, she leaves the two of them to choose. Eriol and Tomoyo look at each other and turn in silent until she said, "Did she just said that we are a couple?"

"I guess," his blue eyes can see the embarrassed feeling in her amethysts so he changes the topic as he looks at the bunch of couples keychain, "Which one do you want, Daidouji-san?"

Tomoyo looks at the keychains. There is a tint of pink color in her cheeks, trying not to look obvious about what she feels. Luckily, the boy beside him also focus on the keychains. She just hoped that her heartbeat cool down in a second but it's just a hope since it didn't happen. "U-um… I don't know… how about you, Hiiragizawa-kun?"

Before Eriol could answer, her amethysts saw one teddy bear keychain that uses dress with cherry blossoms as their motive, "Ah, look, this one suitable for Sakura-chan." Tomoyo smiles when she takes that keychain to show it to him. Eriol agrees and he spots one keychain use chinese clothes, "This one suitable for Li-kun." Both of them chuckling because they remember the couple who went back earlier. While still chuckling, she saw one teddy bear wear a ribbon in each ear, "It's like Chiharu-chan with her twintails hair." He is nodding then look at the one teddy bear keychain with one line eyes and comment, "This one line eyed looks like Yamazaki-kun." They are enjoying finding another keychain like their friends. One with ballet costume is like Rika, according to Tomoyo because Rika learns ballet. Eriol puts one keychain that wear blue suit like their homeroom teacher which is Terada-sensei.

Tomoyo is really having fun finding the keychain with similarities like her friends. She spots one teddy bear keychain reading a book like Naoko. Looking at her so happy like that, makes Eriol feels happy too. He couldn't take off his blue eyes from her. Her smiles took all his attention just for her and she became the world for him. At the moment, she stopped smiling while her eyes laid on one key chain. "What's wrong, Daidouji-san?" Eriol asked her.

Her hands took the keychain and show it to him with bright smile, "I found you, Hiiragizawa-kun!"

That smile almost make him blushed if he could't control his expression. He take a look at the keychain in her hand, a teddy bear playing a piano. Eriol smiles while nodding then searching in keychains before he took one and showed her while saying, "And I found you, Daidouji-san."

Tomoyo couldn't help to be smitten when he said that with a keychain of teddy bear that holding a mike like it was singing. Suddenly, Nakuru ask them from behind, "Have you choose the keychain you want?"

"Ah, yes," Eriol shows her the keychain resembles Tomoyo. "I want this one."

It surprised the little girl that he chose that one. But, once again, Tomoyo blushed and startled when Nakuru asked, "How about you, Tomoyo-chan? Which one do you like?"

"I… like this one," she picks the one with the piano.

"Great choices! Let me scan this and you can bring it home for free," the teen girl took both of the keychains to the cashier counter where Touya could be seen. Eriol looks at his side towards her and asked, "Why did you chose that one, Daidouji-san?"

"I could ask you the same thing. Why did you chose that one, Hiiragizawa-kun?"

They keep silent for a while and just staring at each other with a hint of blush in their cheeks before both of them bursting in laughter in the next second. "You are definitely a tough one, aren't you?" Eriol is still chuckling, so as her. "It's the same with you."

"Let's just say… we have the same answers, maybe?" After Eriol said that, he looks at her amethysts tenderly. She is nodding while smiling gently. They stay still. Looking at each other eyes that shows how warm they feel inside their heart. Their fingers intertwined now. It becomes more than any words to be their answers for the question before. He leaned closer to her and let their forehead touched. They close their eyes, enjoy the moment to feel and words are needless. "Daidouji-san…"

His voice whispers her name makes her heart beats so fast and in that soft tone she can feel what his feeling. It's indescribable. How it makes her happy, nervous, and embarrassed. She is quite in a shock state. But, that shock gone in a second and filled with so many pleasant feelings. Just his voice makes it really different. Just by him calling her name, it changes everything. "Hiiragizawa-kun…" How come she can't control her feelings about him?

"Sorry for making you wait!" Nakuru comes and gives the keychains. Her sudden action makes Tomoyo opens her eyes and makes some distance from his face. "A-ah, arigatou gozaimaisu, Akizuki-san," Tomoyo quite smitten when she accepts the keychain, Eriol too with his polite smile. "No, Tomoyo-chan, call me Nakuru," she insisted. "O-okay, Nakuru-san," The part-time girl seems satisfied then back to the cashier counter.

But then, there are a limo outside the shop. "Seems like your bodyguards are here to pick you up," he said when they look at the limo. She nods and looks at him. "Thank you for accompanying me while waiting, Hiiragizawa-kun," she smiled at him thankfully.

"It's my pleasure, my lady," Eriol kissed the back of her hand before whispering, "I wish we can spend more time like this."

The amethysts girl blinked as blushing then leaned closer to his ear and said softly, "Me too."
