{1st Clear Card, video}
[Sakura's back again on the app. Which, once she gets back home and realizes she still can't find certain items, well. Of course she is Concerned. Though not necessarily for reasons others might assume. Not so much for what this means for herself, especially given how defenseless this leaves her without her magic and cards, but she is. Worrying about the cards. Because of course she is.
She idly brushes a longer strand of hair framing her face behind her ear, biting her lip as she uses her phone, opening the Retrospec app. Which shows her bedroom in Fai and Iwai's place, where she sits cross-legged on her bed.]
Um, if everyone missed it before? I'm back. I mean, I have the app again. I'm sorry if I worried everyone before. But I just wanted to check. To ask, I mean. Others have probably gotten the app after having it deleted from their phones too, right? Only, when I got back, I realized some things were missing still. My cards. And my neckla-- my staff I use with them. They're gone. So is my bear.
[Anyone might question the bear, but this particular bear is unique and special, given her bond with Xiaolang. With his Other in her memories, Syaoran. Let alone if someone thinks she might be talking about normal playing cards or something.]
I usually always have the cards and necklace on me, and the bear usually stays in my room, but. When I got home, I can't find them anywhere. And I'm sure I didn't leave anything in...in that glass case I woke up in. If anyone has seen the cards, please tell me! Or at least, make sure they're alright.
[To be fair, it isn't like the cards are exactly defenseless, or necessarily vulnerable, considering the chaos they caused in her memories, but even so. She can't help worrying. And not just because she isn't sure how she is supposed to figure tricking her family with stopping them from worrying if she doesn't have Mirror to stay home in her stead while dealing with App Things?
She holds up a couple of drawings to try show what the necklace and an example of one of the Clow Cards look like.]

No worrying about the state of the city, about Sakura's lack of abilities, the number of other things that could affect the people he knew and cared for-- all that mattered right now was the two of them together, just like this. His thumb gently traces over her cheek, a soft caress as his heart beats wildly under her palm. Could she feel it? With how fast and hard it was pounding in his chest, it felt like the whole household could probably hear it, a tell-tale heart betraying his every emotion.
After a few moments, he carefully breaks away from the kiss-- not necessarily because he wants to, but because there was so long he could kiss her before they got uncomfortable or needed to breathe. He doesn't pull away entirely, though, his lips lingering over her own and his face a scorching red. Should he open his eyes now? He was almost didn't want to, to keep the moment alive for that much longer, but it'd be weird if his were still closed if hers weren't, right?
His eyes open just a crack, wondering just what he would see.]
no subject
When he does, she doesn't quite open her eyes immediately, taking a couple of seconds, but she does eventually. Her cheeks and nose are tinged a flushed pink from her still being a little flustered by it, still new to this. Her expression softened, maybe retaining some slight confusion in spite of herself, in spite of that she should expect that? Since they're dating now and all.]
Xiaolang-kun...
no subject
Swallowing hard, his hand moves carefully from her cheek back over to her hair, feeling the strands intertwine with his fingers as he brushes it back. Her breath tickles against his lips as she says his name, causing the heat in his face to grow so much it felt like he was about to burst into flame. It takes him a second to find his voice, breathing out her name as his pulse thudded erratically under her hand on his chest.]
... Sakura.
[But there was something else to be said here, wasn't there? A reason why he kissed her to begin with.]
I'm... glad. Glad that I make you happy.
no subject
...Me too.
no subject
He tenses for just a second as her hand makes it's way towards his face, but quickly relaxes as it settles on his cheek. Leaning a little into her touch, he graces her with a soft smile of his own, despite his flushed face, eyes tender and fond as he savors the moment. There doesn't seem like there's much else to say, or much else to do, aside from cherish this little world that they've fallen into.
... except a thought hits hit, abruptly, knocking him out of this sweet reverie as a cold sweat hits his brow. He didn't want to look behind him and check, but...]
... Sakura.
Is your door... open...?
[HE DOESN'T WANT TO THINK ABOUT FAI OR IWAI OR TOUYA WALKING PAST THIS......]
no subject
Not that it was too likely anyone would poke their head at her room behind the kitchen unless a meal was ready or something but still. Sakura's cheeks flush a brighter pink as she flails, stumbling from the bed to shut the door, leaning against it with a sigh.]
The door....I don't usually bother shutting it unless I'm changing or something. Sorry....
no subject
He watches with a bit of concern as she leans against the frame, his own face in familiar tomato territory. There's a quick shake of his head as she apologizes, internally kicking himself for being the one responsible for this.]
N-No, you shouldn't--
[He bites his lip carefully, still warm from their kiss, struggling with his words.]
I'm sorry. I should have been a little more mindful. Or paying more attention. You weren't expecting me to...to...
[His words trail off, too embarrassed to even say the rest. How this child can get any more red without passing out was a mystery to all, honestly.]
no subject
[Because. Well. Her brother wouldn't be silent or subtle about it. Likely nor would her adoptive fathers. So they were probably safe. That and Noah rarely emerged downstairs from his room unless it was meal time.
But still. It was something to consider. For the future. In being more cautious and mindful of privacy with such moments. Planned for or not. Because in the moment kisses were probably just as much something her brother or adopted fathers would tease about, at the very least, as much as they would in coming across something more planned.]
no subject
Hastily, he rises to his feet, keeping Xiaolang bear in his arms, face still flushed a bright crimson and his voice a squeak.]
M-Maybe I should go. You probably have homework and dinner and... stuff.
[Not that he particularly wanted to leave, but her family probably wouldn't be too pleased with them being together like this behind closed doors.]
no subject
[Because she wouldn't want Leon or the others to worry. To wonder where Xiaolang was. So of course she isn't about to keep him from heading home if he wants to. As much as she enjoys his company, and isn't necessarily considering her brother's reaction to them having closed the door behind them to her room.]
But um. I'll see you tomorrow.
[Or if not they would at least be able to text to keep up with how the other is doing amid everything.]
no subject
Though speaking of which...! Right before he reaches the door, he holds out Xiaolang bear to her, hands trembling slightly. No point accidentally taking it with him, after all.]
H-Here. I'll talk to you later.
[And quick as a wink, he ducks in, pressing the swiftest of kisses on her forehead. It was this sort of impulsive action that sent them in this tizzy to begin with, but at least they had some privacy. ]
no subject
[Is about all she manages then. Not that she might be quite aware how giddy and amused his cousins would be over him staying at hers or even visiting for that matter. Still, she takes the offered bear back in her arms when he hands it over, blinking at the unexpected press of lips to her forehead.]
Goodnight...
no subject
... G-Goodnight.
[And with that, he opens the door to leave, walking a few steps in the opposite direction before hastily righting himself towards the proper exit. Not that it escapes some mild teasing from Fai out in the hall, of course (something about 'Li-kun walking like a little robot, how cute!').]
