(Kyo's POV)
What is it about her? Sure she's cute and all, but that's not why I like her so much...no, is it...it can't be. No that's impossible, nobody can love me for me, she's probably just too nice for her own good. That airhead.
The other day she was walking home with me and Yuki and I felt the sudden urge to hiss at Yuki for being too close to Tohru. My Tohru. But I can't afford to think like that, what would happen if she saw my true form? I just have to keep my distance from her. Wow...this is a lot harder than I though it would be.
(Normal POV)
Kyo, Yuki, and Tohru are walking to school together. Tohru and Yuki are arguing over who would look better in a dress. "No Yuki I can't possibly!" protested Tohru as Yuki gave a chuckle and said, "Miss Honda, you would look good no matter what you wore, even if it were a dress, right Kyo?".
"No Kyo...you don't have to...um answer that...",but Kyo's ears had perked up at his name and (his) Tohru's cry for help. "Yeah," he began with a small flush creeping up his neck and onto his cheeks,"you would look cute in anything...Tohru", then quickly added, "Now hurry up you two. We'll be late for school." as he turned and walked away, but not beofre he saw Tohru's face turn slightly pink also.
Kyo had a hard time concentrating on his classwork. He was sitting so close to Tohru and it took all of his self-control not to move closer to her or jump 4 stories out the window. 'Just breathe and calm down', he told himself, though to no avail.
(Shigure's POV)
My editor won't stop following me around the house so I finally decide to sit down and finish the last 500 pages of my book. While writing I begin to think about all the awkward exchanges between Kyo and Tohru lately. Then it dawned on me,'Ahhhh young love...I wonder when they'll just admit it to each othe-' my thoughts were so rudely interrupted by the slamming of the front door announcing 3 teenagers home from school.
(Tohru's POV)
It was hard to think during school today after what Kyo said to me earlier this morning. Even Hana and Uo guessed what was up before I had even told them. Well of course Hana did, but was I really that transparent? Walking home wasn't so bad, but it was awkward as none of us spoke.
(Normal POV)
Yuki and Kyo go to their rooms to finish homework, Tohru goes to the kitchen to make dinner, and Shigure is still being hounded (get it?) by his editor. Tohru finishes cooking and calls everyone down to eat. Kyo and Yuki race down the stairs pushing each other out of the way and Shigure sticks his head out of his office with a grateful looking face and a crying editor behind him. They all say thanks and begin to eat in silence with the occasional awkward glance and "Pass the...". Finally when dinner's over evrybody gets up to leave. Kyo stays to ask Tohru is she needs any help with the dishes.
(Kyo's POV)
"Are you sure you don't need any help?", I ask, already knowing the answer before she says it. "No thanks, It's okay!" she responds chipper as usual. "Okay,' I tell her, 'But get to bed soon or you're going to be tired tomorrow". She nods and smiles at me. I can' t help but smile back. "Alright then, goodnight Tohru." I say, beginning to walk upstairs. "Goodnight Kyo!" she calls after me.
...I don't know how long I slept, but the clock says 12:36 and all I can think is,'I hope she went to bed'. I quietly get out of bed and sneak downstairs to find, unsurprisingly, Tohru asleep under the Kotatsu with her head in her arms on the ground. "That airhead', I think while I pick her up into my arms, princess style, careful not to jostle her too much.
'This feels right', I think, leaning my head close to hers to feel her soft breath tickling my ear. I walk upstairs like a ninja trying not to wake the person about to be assassinated ( good job, great comparison Kyo).
I laid her down in her bed under her covers and tucked her in as she began to mumble something. I leaned down to hear what she was syaing,"Kyo....mmm...Kyo...". I smiled as I kissed her forehead and whispered in her ear, shushing her, "I love you Tohru." then walked out of the room and turned off all the lights.
(Tohru's POV)
I woke up feeling rested and refreshed. But the only difference is I am now in my bed. 'Kyo?' I thought as a faint, lingering memory surfaced on the front of my brain. "I love you Tohru." So it had been him, and he... loves me? I could feel my cheeks burning red at the thought of my Kyo-Kyo finally admitting the feelings I had within myself.
Suddenly there was smoke, and a burning smell was coming from the kitchen. Shigure yelled, 'WHAT WAS THAT YUKI?" "IT'S KYO!" Yuki shouted back. "HE TRIED TO MAKE BREAKFAST THE STUPID CAT!" Shigure sounded very close to my door now as he said sadly, "Why is the world out to destroy my house?"
(Normal POV) (I know you're sick of it now)
Giggling, Tohru walked downstairs to find all 3 of them waving around a broom, a shirt, and Shigure's not-quite-finished-book to put out the fire. Tohru walked straight over to Kyo and stood on tiptoe to kiss him on the cheek. Everybody stared at her stunned; Shigure with a knowing look; Kyo with a bright red face; and Yuki looking away disappointed. "I love you too, Kyo" she said. Then she smiled like the sun on a rainy day.
