A Lovely Relationship

Rated: T

I do not own Fruits Basket at all, I only own this story and any characters I made up (which there are plenty)

Chapter 1

This is the sequel to The Loop of Jealousy, you can still enjoy this fanfiction without reading the story before this, but it may clear up a lot of confusion. Enjoy! :3, Oh ya, lemme just say something, I am a guy… Not gay :) Okay then that's all

"Ace, Jack fold!" the television tolled

It was 14 years into the future, Taylor and Tristin are now a happily married couple living not too far off of Tohru and Kyo, Taylor is a proffesional poker player (that's hot :3) who works as that to express her talent at playing cards. Tristin is a industry fisherman already making more then enough to support the family alone. Their kid, Trey is 13 years old and has a crush on a girl named Nodoka Sohma, the child of Kyo and Tohru who got married 2 years after Taylor's pregnancy. Tohru was a housewife who took care of everything at home, and Nodoka, a cute 12 year old girl with red hair and large eyes, has a crush on Trey. Kyo was a hired architect, working for a large art company. Life was good, and the commotion in the last story has settled, but Trey and Nodoka are in love, but don't realize it yet, won't that cause something?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

"Hi, Nodoka-san!" called out Trey, who inhereted his mothers personality, and his father's looks (and power)

"Hello" replied Nodoka, she was a shy person, espiecally around her crush.

"Here's your lunch, you forgot it when you left, Tohru-senpai asked me to give it to you" Trey handed Nodoka a bag with a cat pattern on it.

"Thank You, Trey-san" said Nodoka, Nodoka looked into the bag and smiled

"Herring! Thank your dad for me please, Trey-san" said Nodoka

"I will, my dad made it for especially for you, it was a surprise. I made the other part of the lunch for you" said Trey crediting his family

Nodoka looked into the bag to see a European soup, she loved a lot of European foods, but this one was her favorite. Nodoka ran over and tackle-hugged Trey.

"Thank You Trey-san!"exclaimed Nodoka

"Your welcome!" helping Nodoka off the floor which they fell together on.

"Sorry Trey-san" apologized Nodoka

"For what?" asked Trey while fixing his hair

"Knocking you over" quietly replied Nodoka

"Nodoka-san, anything you do, I love" Trey had also inherited his fathers skill around women.

"Ouuuu" Nodoka slowly walked over to Trey and hugged him properly, making sure not to knock him over. Trey responded to the hug and returned the favor.

"Skiiiii!" cooed a group of boys in the class

"Grow up" said a tall man in jeans and a bandana entering the room. It was Tristin, Trey's dad, he was here fixing a part of the roof when it collapsed unexpectingly on a group of students, wandering the halls. Tristin saved the kids that were in the wreck and decided to fix the roof, simply because he was 'bored'.

"Sorry Tristin-senpai" replied the boys

"Dont worry about it" Tristin said, turning to the sensei of the class to discuss something.

"Your dad is so nice" said Nodoka timidly to Trey

"Thank you very much" replied Trey

Trey and Nodoka sat down together and started to eat their lunch, Trey didn't eat very much, but he had a unnaturally fast motabolism so he didn't need much.
Lunch was normal until a man in a black shirt came and messed up Nodokas hair.

"Hi papa" said Nodoka looking slightly irritated. The man was Kyo, he was also helping out fix the roof because he was 'bored' too, but Trey just thought he wanted to look good infront of Tohru and Nodoka, he also thought he wanted to see how Nodoka and Trey's relationship were going, Trey also knew he wanted to be competitive with Tristin to who could finish a section of the roof quickest. Kyo was an airhead in Trey's mind. Trey chuckled.

"What's so funny?" asked Kyo

"Nothing senpai, sorry" apologized Trey

Kyo left and tailed Tristin who was leaving the classroom to work.

"Your dad is funny" said Trey

"So is yours" said Nodoka recalling a time when Tristin tickled them both half to death. Trey looked into Nodoka's eyes and they both laughed. Nodoka was aware of Trey's and his dads ability.

"Hey Trey-san come here, how's this sound?" said a boy from halfway cross the room. Trey was part of a jazz/pop group with the kids in his school, they were making stage plannings from
what Nodoka heard. Nodoka looked at Trey's lunch, he didn't eat all of it, and it looked ill-prepared.

"Hey, Trey-san, you still doing cooking class?" asked a chubby boy with a cap

"Hai" answered Trey

"Wasn't that mainly for girls?" teased the boy

"You can keep telling you yourself that while I'm eating gourmet and your eating frozen foods" teased Trey

"Ha Ha Ha, and I'll call you to help me" joked the boy

"Mhmm" agreed Trey

The rest of the group chuckled along. And teased the chubby boy and Trey alot. Trey was good in large crowds, I'm not thought Nodoka.

"But you sure are cute" said Trey coming over noticing Nodoka's dilemma and space out. Nodoka blushed throughout her whole face, and Trey sat beside her.

"Its almost time for cooking class" said Trey

"Can you carry me there?" asked Nodoka, she didn't care what others thought, she was already fully blushing.

"Of course" smiled Trey, he packed back there lunches and swept Nodoka off her feet, then caught her. Nodoka was pretty scared for a moment, the sweep was so unexpected. Trey opened the door and saw his best friend talking with a girl with black hair, Trey knew his friend liked this girl, the best friend noticed Trey and Nodoka so Trey and his friend winked at eachother meaning "Good luck" Nodoka caught on and giggled. Trey was stroking her hair as she was being carried to class. Nodoka had a vision! It was of her mom, Tohru! She was lying in a hammock outside the house, Tohru's hair was being stroked, but by who? Nodoka focused on the man, it was Trey's father! Nodoka smiled, Trey was much like his father, Nodoka liked his father. Nodoka was set down on a chair, she woke up from her day dream, she was in cooking class two minutes before it started, she could see Trey walking away to his workspace. Infront of Nodoka lay a cutting board, a set of knives,
and spices, the desk she was using looked like a kitchen counter, Nodoka loved cooking class.

"Good Morning, class" said a tall woman with long blonde hair.

"Good Morning sensei" answered the class

"Lets get to it, today, beef soup, Trey-kun, be a good kid and carry the beef to each table" said sensei. Nodoka was overwhelmed, there was over 200 tables of girls, and the beef was heavy. Trey was hardly phased. Trey started his job hastily.

"Nodoka-kun, cheese" called the sensei

"Err- hai!" said Nodoka gathering the cheese and handing it out, it felt cool and refreshing to be around. Nodoka realized the attention Trey was getting, it seemed obvious, he was the only boy in cooking class, and every girl knew how romantic he was due to last Valentines Day (but that's for another flashback :3)

"Okay class, let's start, get your chef knife and chop the cheese into thinner slices, then use your steak knife to cut the beef" instructed sensei bluntly

"Hai" answered the class

Nodoka started cutting the meat with ease, she was being rough and distinctive with her cuts, slicing the cheese was going to be a challenge, it always was, cheese stuck to the knife. When Nodoka finished cutting the meat she sighed. Nodoka was always behind the class because it usually took her several minutes to slice cheese. Nodoka started with great difficulty, she felt someone approach her, that person grabbed her hands and repositioned them, the person whispered into her ear "No, slicing like that makes uneven cuts, place the blade at the length of the slice" the person behind Nodoka's shifted her knife hand to a spot on the length of the block of cheese. "Then put pressure on the back of the blade" the person placed and pressed Nodoka's free hand to the back of the knife, the blade felt eerily cold. "Then press down" the person's hand who was guiding her's was doing more of the work now, but Nodoka noted the technique, the cheese was sliced as if
it were vulnerable, but who was this person who helped her? It was a male voice, it must have been Trey. Nodoka turned around and hugged the person, it was indeed Trey.

"You look so cute when you struggle Nodoka-chan" complimented Trey.

Tristin came from the back door of the classroom looking like he'd been ambushed by questions.

"By any chance Tristin-senpai, might your son be this good at cooking as you?" asked sensei who was sitting on a chair behind the class.

"Better" laughed Tristin

"Can I ask you something?" called sensei to Tristin

"Hai" Tristin walked over to sensei ignoring Trey and Nodoka kissing completely

Nodoka's ears were straining, she wanted to hear this conversation but only caught bits.

"Short-Hair-Same Tastes-Trey-Tristin-Cute-Nodoka"

Nodoka and Trey broke the kiss and returned to their work looking embarassed, but happy.
