When he teased Syaoran, he wasn't thinking of it in a romantic way. He knew that touching the boy would derail him in a humorous way, so that's what he did. Syaoran was fun to provoke.
But now the boy-- the man, how time had passed-- was standing before him with a flush on his face and an embarrassed look in his eyes. All Eriol could think about was that slight weight in his arms the day Syaoran had fallen from that tree, the soft pine scent of him on the day he taught him how to win at basketball.
He swallowed hard and Syaoran muttered something about "no hope in hell," and turned to walk away. Eriol caught his shoulder and when Syaoran turned in surprise, he could feel the blush on his own face.
"Could we get coffee?" he suggested, and Syaoran nodded.
Maybe nothing would happen. But there was always hope.
