Title: Chocolates
Characters: Clow, Yuuko, Kimihiro, Eriol - mention of Shizuka, Himawari and Sakura
Rating: Hum, something like PG? (there's a kiss involved)
Summary: Clow is very popular, and Yuuko is not happy with that.
Notes: This is my first fic in English, which is not my native language. So please, be very, very tolerant ^^
“Thank you very much, miss.”
Clow smiled to the group of fifteen-years-old girls that had given him the pink-wrapped chocolate box. The teenagers giggled and waved him good-bye. The boy put the box in the paper bag he was holding under his left arm, already containing some thirty others. Valentine Day was even better than Halloween.
He walked back to his companions
“So?” asked Eriol.
“Thirty-four,” answered his brother. “Two more than last year. I was hoping to get thirty-five, that would have made a round number.”
He heard Yuuko mutter something under her breath and Kimihiro gasp as his sister waved her bag a little too energically. Eriol paid no apparent attention to the siblings.
“I’ve got only twenty-seven. But that must be because I’m younger.”
“You creep family.”
“That was perfectly audible, Yuuko-chan dear,” Clow noted lightly.
“I don’t give a damn.”
“And you, Kimihiro,” went on Eriol as if nothing had happened, “did you get some chocolate?”
“O-oh me? Ah, y-yes!”
The boy blushed and held up religiously a yellow box.
“This,” he said with shining eyes, “is from Himawari-chan!”
“Oh, that’s nice of her,” commented Clow while still eying his sister.
“I also got one from Sakura-chan. She said it was a thanks for the help I gave her the ones for her family and friends.”
“Sakura-chan really is cute,” nodded Eriol. “And she has this strange power on others around her… Very interesting.”
“Isn’t it?” said Clow. “I really hope…”
“So, older girls are not enough anymore? Now you’re looking for younger ones? Pervert.”
Kimihiro blinked and Eriol sighed. Here it goes, he thought. Better stay out of it.
“Kimihiro, would you come with me to the haberdasher’s shop? I need some new colour threads.”
“Ah, but…”
“Good, see you later, Onii-san, Yuuko-sempai!”
He took hold of the younger boy’s hand and ran. Clow and Yuuko remained silent for a few minutes.
“I think I saw a third box in your brother’s bag,” said finally the bespectacled boy.
“It’s from Shizuka. I had Kimihiro give him some chocolates too. That dummy wouldn’t have the idea.”
“He’s lucky you’re here.”
“So you say.”
Clow looked fondly at his friend’s frowning face with a fond smile.
“You really are cute, Yuuko-chan.”
“I think I didn’t hear right,” answered haughtily the girl.
“I said you…”
“Oh, but you are so much cuter than me, aren’t you, Clow-chan?”
“And still, you didn’t give me chocolates today.”
The tone was falsely sad and it only worsened Yuuko’s anger.
“You don’t need them, do you? And don’t tell me it would be the thirty-fifth or I’ll…”
“So you did bring some. Did Kimihiro make them?”
Yuuko gave him a hard look, which Clow answered to with the most annoying smile. Finally, the dark-haired girl took out of her bag a small, black, moon-shaped box.
“No, I made them myself, like always. Here you go, four eyes!”
“Thank you, dear.”
He leaned and kissed her on the chick. She looked fiercely at him.
“What did you just do?”
“Would have liked one on the mouth better?” asked innocently Clow. “I thought you may object, but…”
“Oh, shut up for once!”
She gave a peck on those annoying lips of his, and when she retreated, his smile had contaminated her.
“I do expect something worth on White Day!”
“But of course, dear. Five times better.”
Omake
“What are we doing here, Eriol?” whined Kimihiro. “If Onee-chan sees us, we’re dea…”
“Oh, I just want to know if Onii-san succeeded or not. And it would be a fantastic mean to blackmail him.”
“Succeeded in what?”
“You,” answered Eriol with a smile, “are too young to understand.”
I just hope you enjoyed it!
