I do not own Fruits Basket or the song it belongs to Tokio Hotel.

In Your Shadow (I Can Shine)

POOF!

"Damn it," Kyo's cat form screeched as the pink puff of smoke disappeared to reveal your favorite orange cat. "Every time; every fuckin' time; this always happens!" he exclaimed. The sulking cat climbed onto your stomach as you stayed resting in the position you were previously placed in before your boyfriend's sudden transformation.

"It's okay, Kyo-kun," you said in a calm voice, the complete opposite of the cat's aggressive one. "We can always try again later, when you're back in your human form." You stroked his fur softly as you feeling the tension release from his small body.

"Why are we even tryin'? I can't even hug you, how the hell are we goin' to have sex," you heard him whine—though you'd never tell him he did, his pride had already been hurt once today.

"Kyo, that's fine with me," you said, lifting to sit up straight on his bed. "I'm fine with waiting 'til the curse is broken. Until then, I'm fine with just being by your side, in your shadow. And together we can shine."

*FIN*
