Day’s went slowly for the
two boys as they mostly spent them being dragged around the town with arms full
of bags following the four giggling sisters who guided them into every cloths
and jewellery shop they passed.
“ERIOOLL-KUNNN” feeling the
dreaded call of his name the young boy flinched as he looked to his lover
pleading him to take him away from the girls.
“Eriol-kun, look at this
dress? What do you think? Does it look good on me?” the girl stepped out of the
change room twirling in front of the dark haired boy her dress flowing out as
she did.
Eriol smiled and nodded “it
looks very good Feimei” the girl nodded as she examined herself in the mirror,
the attendant stood behind holding the cloths that had been thrown over the
door of the dressing chambers from the other three girlsp>
“I’ll take it” she said
with a nod before she vanished again into the change room to try on the next
piece of clothing.
Sighing, the boy leaned
back in the chair he sat on, his eyes closed as he tried to relax from the
walking he had been doing.
“Eriol…” opening one
eye the boy turned to the voice “Syaoran?” he asked as he waited for him to
continue, Syaoran sighed, “I was talking to Sheifa last night and she says that
we should tell my mum ….about us….” Eriol sat up now his full attention on the
boy.
“Tell your mother? But…I
thought you said your mother won’t agree with….this kind of a relationship”
Syaoran shook his head, “I don’t think she will, but I have to tell her…the
longer I wait the harder it will be…” nodding his understanding Eriol looked to
the change rooms were the girls chattered from.
“When are you going to tell
her?” Syaoran sighed as he looked to the ground, “tonight…over dinner…my
sisters are going to be there and hopefully they will step to help” Eriol’s
eyes widened.
‘No it can’t be…’ his eyes
locking with a darker gaze, Eriol felt as his stomach twisted, Syaoran looked
to the teen seeing him pale.
“Eriol?....Eriol what’s the
matter?” turning to where the teens gaze was Syaoran gasped at seeing the
smiling face of Arthur Hiiragizawa, straightening his eyes turned to a cold
glare as he watched the man approach.
Eriol stood to the best of
his abilities not wishing to have the man looking down on him, standing close
to his boyfriend who was tense and ready to fight Eriol held his breath.
“Ahh Eriol, my son what a
coincidence meeting you here” Syaoran frowned at the man; Arthur turned to the
taller boy his eyes scanning the teens body as if it were dinner.
“Syaoran isn’t it?” he
asked a cold smirk on his face as he watched the boy tense under his gaze,
Syaoran nodded his frown deepening as he tried to hide the sick feeling in his
stomach. Arthur’s smile grew; turning his attention back to his son he reached
out his hand.
Eriol froze a lump in his
throat formed as the hand grew closer to his face, his stomach threatened to
give way to the sick feeling that was making its way up his throat.
The hand brushed across his
cheek pushing the bangs back before letting them fall back into their original
place, his smile grew as he felt the boy shudder under his touch “did I ever
tell you that you got your mothers eyes?” he spoke below a whisper so only the
two boys could hear, the back of his knuckles brushing lightly over the pale cheeks
again before he pulled it away with a smile.
Eriol could only look at
him, his heart pounding in his chest of the mention of his mother “you do, her
eyes were a little lighter but you got the same look in them, the same spark
she always carried” Eriol tried to swallow back the sick feeling as the man
continued to compare his looks to his mothers.
attention now turned to Syaoran, “Eriol and his mother were very close before
she passed away, god bless her soul” he spoke bowing his head slightly, Eriol
fought not to choke, tears stung at his eyes as they threatened to fall.
The man continued paying no
attention to Syaoran’s glares or Eriol’s paling, “she was always a happy women,
never let things get her down, but then that night came…Eriol you remember that
night better then any of us don’t you…after all you were there” turning to his
son the man faked a sad smile.
Eriol’s stomach twisted as
his heart beat quickened the night’s images playing in his head, “but then
there was nothing any of us could do, I’m just glad your okay Eriol, we can be
a family again” the boy’s face paled more at his fathers words.
“Eriol, Syaoran” spinning
around Syaoran looked to the tall lady that stood behind them, Yelan looked to
Syaoran then Eriol who still faced the man, Arthur looked to Yelan, a small
frown on his face.
“Syaoran, introduce me to
your friend” the lady spoke her eyes not leaving the man’s, “mother…this…this
is Arthur…Hiiragizawa…Eriol’s….father” Syaoran added the last title with
hesitance, Yelan now smiled as she reached her hand out to Arthur.
“It’s nice to finally meet
a family member of Eriol’s” Arthur took her hand, he kissed the back of it
gently his gaze flickering to Syaoran as he did, pulling back he smiled to
Yelan.
“And whom may you be?” he
asked with politeness dripping from his words turning even Syaoran’s stomach as
he watched Arthur’s act.
“My name is Yelan Li,
Syaoran’s mother” the mans smile grew, “well it seems
our boys have become quite close, it’s nice to meet you Yelan” the lady smiled
as she nodded looking from Eriol to Syaoran.
“Yes they are close,
dinner” the man looked to Eriol whose eyes had returned to their old state of
emptiness.
“I’d love to, it gives me
time to get to know my son and his ‘friend’ a little better” Yelan nodded
missing the tone Arthur spoke in when classifying Eriol and Syaoran as friends.
Syaoran not missing it or
the small wink the man shot him looked to the man fear in his eyes, ‘he knows…he
knows about me and Eriol.’
Eriol struggled to keep his
now heavy body from collapsing, his need to run pulling at him, but knowing he
couldn’t escape he continued to stand still and quite his gaze on his father.
Giving the man the address
of Syaoran’s apartment, Yelan turned and left the shop taking the four girls
back to the apartment.
Syaoran looked back to
Arthur who read over the address once more, “I look forward to seeing you
tonight Eriol. Syaoran I take it you haven’t told your mother about your little
on going relationship with my boy now have you?” Syaoran didn’t move his glare
on Arthur as he smirked.
“I’ll take that as a no, to
tell you the truth I was surprised when I found out, it wasn’t until I saw the
mark on Eriol’s neck that my suspicions were confirmed, I always knew Eriol to
be an ‘odd’ child but this was something I never expected.” He said his eyes
lingering on the small red mark that was only just visible under the
Sya>Syaoran frowned “Eriol’s
changed, I don’t know what type of hold you have over him but when this trial
comes I assure you, you wont win” Syaoran finished with venom, Arthur’s smile
stretched before bubbling chuckles were heard.
Syaoran frowned his hands
tightened into fists, calming himself Arthur wiped away the small tears at the
corner of his eyes, “my dear boy, I’ve already won, it’s just a matter of
getting the paper sighed, oh and speaking of the trial, Eriol, have you found
yourself a lawyer?” snapping out of his trance the boy’s head snapped up to
look to his father.
“A...a Lawyer…” Arthur
nodded his smirk widening at seeing his son, “without a lawyer you have no
chance of winning, not like you have much of one anyway…” Eriol frowned
slightly his thoughts taking over “but….the court supplies them…if you can’t
afford one….” Arthur smiled and shook his head.
“Not this court. If you
don’t have a lawyer you have to fight for yourself and the judge isn’t going to
be convinced of your story without a proper lawyer, you have ten days until the
trial Eriol and I suggest you find yourself a legal represeive,ive, see you
tonight then” smiling one last time the man brushed passed the two boys and
exited from the shop.
Syaoran turned to Eriol who
now looked to the floor his eyes misted as he fought the demons of his past.
“ERIOL …not again….Eriol,
come on snap out of it” seeing the return of the boy whom he had first met
Syaoran’s fear grew, Eriol was back to his old state of mind.
“ERIOL” not being able to
think of any other method to break the boy from his spell Syaoran took the boy
in his arms and forced his eyes to look to him, fighting not to shiver under
the empty gaze the younger teen held Syaoran closed the gap, kissing the boy on
the lips.
Pulling away when hearing a
small moan from the younger teen Syaoran looked down to his lover, he watched
as Eriol blinked a couple of times his eyes returning to the lively
“Syaoran…?” smiling at the
boy’s slight confusion Syaoran nodded “thanks for coming back” Eriol ed ted to
him with confusion before nodding.
From the window of the shop
Arthur smiled seeing his plan falling into place perfectly.
