This story is takes place when Shigure took Tohru in, but the curse is already lifted.
The Gift of Expression
TPOV
I've never revealed my feelings about Yuki-kun to anyone but this feeling is getting confusing and I don't know what to do. I didn't even tell this to Saki or Arisa. It's all just beginning to feel weird.
But by the time I was able to understand a little bit of it, I heard someone call my name, and I went back to reality…
"Tohru!" I heard Shigure call my name.
"I'm coming"
"You seem to be forgetting an important event…"
"I did?" I asked with much confusion.
"Oh my Gosh, Tohru! It's Yuki's birthday today!" shouted Shigure.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I was too preoccupied…"
"It's alright" said Shigure, calming down from the outburst a while ago.
"Just go pick up the cake we need for his birthday, Yuki said he didn't want to go to Akito's place this time…" continued Shigure.
"Oh, alright"
I went out with my coat and umbrella under the rain. I picked up Yuki-kun's cake and walked down the streets when I realized I forgot to get Yuki-kun his birthday gift.
"Oh My Gosh, I forgot Yuki-kun's birthday gift, what should I do?"
"Ah, I could get him a watch…but will he like it?"
"How about some books….?"
Then I suddenly thought of something, I went inside the store to get this gift, I bought it and rushed to the house as fast as I can. I wanted to wrap it and give the gift to him faster than anyone else. I wanted to be the first one. I wanted him to somehow know what I feel.
"Tohru?" I suddenly heard someone call my name from the door.
Oh My Gosh, It is Yuki-kun… What should I do…?
"Tohru, what's wrong?"
He's approaching me… I don't care anymore, just as long as I face him and be able to let him know how I feel about him, nothing else matters.
I turned to face him, but at the same moment, he tripped and fell over my face. Our lips were centimeters apart but he lay back and let the distance grow bigger.
"I'm Sorry" we both said on the same time.
"It's okay" we both said again.
Our apologies were followed by a series of laughter.
"Oh, by the way, this the birthday gift I bought for you" I said reaching for the gift from my table.
"Thank you" he said with the crooked smile I loved the most.
"Go on, open it" I said with motivation.
He opened it slowly and saw the hand-made sweater I made for him in 30 minutes. He seemed to feel thankful and happy. Then suddenly without notice, he hugged me tightly, embracing me in his arms.
"Thanks you" he said with tears in his eyes.
"I Love you" he said
"I wanted to tell you this for a long time, from the first time I saw you, I loved you" He continued.
"Love at first sight for me too" I continued the moment.
Then his tender lips touch mine and I tried kissing him back. The moon shone brightly in the window and the moonlight was perfect for the kiss we had.
