oh my goodness im obsessed with these two.. SILLIES

[cardcaptorheart]

thinking about akitomo a lot lately... 

tomoyo initially getting an interest in akiho because she’s “like sakura” but because she’s tomoyo, and she notices people, she quickly picks up on the ways that they aren’t similar at all. the obvious things like how akiho’s traveled the world and sakura’s only left japan once, how akiho spends more time with books than sakura does, how akiho likes to sing vs sakura likes sports. the subtle things, too, like mannerisms and the cadence of their voices. 

akiho getting an interest, because she’s not used to be seen, in someone caring about her enough to notice. being known is being loved. and by tomoyo of all people. tomoyo, who is sure of herself and unashamed to be herself. tomoyo, who always puts others first, cheering them on. tomoyo, who is behind the camera but never in front of it. 

tomoyo getting flustered, because she’s spent her years thinking that she would never find someone who would love her back, and she doesn’t know what to do with it.  tomoyo struggling with should she stay in her comfort zone (”i want to capture every moment of this”) or if she should try to keep the camera away and live in the moment. 

akiho getting flustered because tomoyo constantly insists on filming her - “i just like to see you!” - and again, she’s not used to being seen. more than that, she’s not used to someone who wants to see her, and so actively. akiho struggling with allowing herself to be loved and cared for by someone who isn’t kaito. 

akitomo picnic dates, where tomoyo brings food her family’s staff made & akiho brings sweets that kaito made. akitomo movie dates. akitomo dates where akiho shows tomoyo all of her photos from around the world. 

tomoyo and akiho!

akiho and tomoyo!

For the quote meme, I wanted to prompt/request: “Obviously you can’t tell a woman you just met that you love her, but it sucks that you can’t.” With Tomoyo/Akiho, please.

Yes! Yes! YES YES YES!!!!

“Obviously you can’t tell a woman you just met that you love her, but it sucks that you can’t,” Tomoyo lamented into her tea.

“What’s stopping you?” Meiling asked flippantly, grinning at the screen. She had heard plenty about the new girl in Sakura and Tomoyo’s class - mostly from Tomoyo. Tomoyo never spoke about anyone this much aside from Sakura, and Meiling knew it was only a matter of time before they were going to be getting the flowery wedding invitations. 

“Didn’t you just hear what I said?” Tomoyo pouted.

“I think Meiling-chan means that you should just be honest with Akiho-chan,” Sakura offered sweetly, Kero agreeing loudly in the background of her videochat. 

Meiling watched Tomoyo consider the advice as she sipped her tea. Declaring your love after knowing someone for a week was laying it on a bit thick in her opinion, but then again, she wasn’t exactly someone to talk about laying thinks on thick. And if this Akiho girl was anything like Tomoyo had said she was anything other than a full on confession, complete with spelled out intentions would just sail over her pretty head.

Tomoyo had such a type is was a bit funny. 

“You know,” Meiling pointed out, “I recall that the last time you held back like this you missed your chance and she fell for someone else.”

Not that anything in the universe would have stopped Sakura and Syaoran from falling for each other, but the point Meiling was trying to make still stood. 

“I suppose you’re right,” Tomoyo said as Sakura made a confused noise, missing entirely that she was the subject of conversation as well. “Honesty will have to be the best policy.”

“So you’re going to tell Akiho-chan that you like her?” Sakura asked brightly. 

Smiling, Tomoyo nodded. “I am. Tomorrow, after class.”

Meiling grinned. “How are you going to say it?” Sakura asked, practically vibrating out of her seat. She was leaning in so close to her camera the entire screen was nothing but her eyes and nose.

Tomoyo took a few moments to think. “Just like that,” she said. “Akiho-chan, I like you, do you think we could go out together?”

“Oh yes! Yes please!” a new voice chimed breathlessly excited. Meiling had rarely seen true shock on Tomoyo’s face, it was a real treat.

On Sakura’s screen one face had been swapped with another and Akiho was suddenly there, pink cheeked and smiling. Behind her, Sakura was trying to apologize for the ruse. 

If seeing Tomoyo surprised was a treat seeing her blush nearly as red as Syaoran was something that defied description. Meiling stepped up and shushed the others. “Don’t be upset, Daidouji,” she said. “This was my idea, we were just trying to help.”

Tomoyo’s mouth worked silently for a few seconds more before she finally managed a breathy “You owe me several modeling shoots for this, Meiling-chan,” before Meiling was booted from the group chat for the night. 

She didn’t mind, she had done what she had set out to do, and things had gone well. If Tomoyo wanted pictures of her in fancy clothes for costume designing then Meiling could make up for her trickery that way without a problem, even if she shouldn’t have to after landing Tomoyo a girlfriend. 

Oh well.
