"You…you what?" Kyo blanched.
"I have to go to Akito with you…"
"That's great! I…I mean it's cool. Well, technically, it's not because you're going to see Akito but…"
"Shut up, you're pathetic when you ramble…" Yuki smirked.
"Gee thanks, stupid rat."
"Sorry, but, what did you mean when you said that it was great?"
"Oh, well…that I wouldn't be….um…alone…um…yeah." He stuttered.
"So, you do like me?"
"Ye-I mean, what?! Where did you hear this?" Kyo, caught off guard, almost tumbled off of the roof.
"Haru told me. He said you two were playing truth or dare, which, by itself, is pretty weird. Anyways, he asked you who you liked, and well…yeah." Yuki shrugged.
"Oh…well, yeah, I guess I do like you. Does it freak you out? That I'm…you know…gay?"
"It is surprising that you, of all the Sohma's that are currently thought of as straight, would be gay, (A/N: Shigure and Ayame are gay for each other (aww) and Hatori is bi) but not that you like me, no."
"So, do you…you know…like me?"
"I'm not sure…I have to run a little test." Yuki leaned in and kissed him. Kyo tensed, but the second he felt Yuki's tongue push up against his lips, he relaxed and opened his mouth slightly. Their tongues entwined, Kyo wrapped his arms around Yuki. Yuki's slender hands rested on Kyo's hips and they parted.
Flushed and panting lightly, Kyo said, "What's my score?"
"You get an A+."
"Good. My turn to run a test." Kyo kissed him again, fiercer this time, pushing into him so they both fell back onto the roof.
"Kyo-kun, I heard a noise…" Kyo and Yuki pulled apart, rolling away from each other very quickly.
"Ah…ah….I'M SO SORRY!" Tohru stumbled quickly back down the ladder, her face like a cooked lobster.
"Well…um…this is…ah…awkward…" Yuki scuffed his foot at an invisible pebble.
"Tell me about it…" They stood there in awkward silence.
"Wanna just pretend like it never happened?"
"Uh…su-sure…" Inside, even though it sounded minor to an onlooker, Kyo's heart was shattering. Pretend it never happened? Impossible.
"Good. Thanks. That could've ended up really awkward." Yuki smiled and hurried down the ladder.
Kyo sighed and sat down, wondering idly if he should jump off the roof. No, he was the year of the cat; he'd land on his feet. He jumped anyways.
"AGH! KYON-KICHI!"
"Oh god damn. What the hell are you doing here, Ayame?"
"I am here with Ha'ri-kun to bring you and Yuki-kun to Akito…slightly depressing but NOTHING, I SAY NOTHING, WILL BRING DOWN AYAME SOHMA!"
"Okay…that was scary…but more importantly, we aren't going until next month, why are we going now?"
"Well, someone heard something and told someone else who told Akito and it's very complicated." Kyo's stomach clenched. Tohru wasn't stupid enough to blab was she? Unfortunately, yes, yes she was (A/N: Tohru, in her state of shock, told Shigure who told Ayame and Hatori and Hatori told Akito).
"What was it?"
"Oh, some silly story about you two kissing or something." Ayame laughed and strode into the house.
"Oh god…" Kyo held his head in his hands, wishing Yuki would hold him.
"Well aren't you just a ray of sunshine. What? Did Yuki dump you already?" Hatori smirked, teasing playfully. Kyo's face twisted slightly.
"Oh…well, that's a surprise…gee…I'm sorry, Kyo…what happened?"
Kyo sighed. "Tohru saw and Yuki just asked if we could forget it happened, and me, being an idiot, I said sure…and I was so sure he liked me…" Kyo started to cry and Hatori, being so nice, and knowing at least a little of his pain (A/N: Remember? Good) took him up in his arms and let him cry.
"Ha-"Yuki paused in the doorway. Hatori was holding a crying Kyo in his arms. He couldn't be upset about what happened on the roof, could he? No, it was the "Akito-a-month-early-"thing. All the same, he felt guilty, somehow subconsciously knowing it was the roof thing. He also felt jealous that Hatori got to hold his Kyo. No, not his Kyo, just Kyo. He turned around and hurried upstairs. He packed his bags and peeked back outside. Hatori wasn't holding Kyo anymore, but they were talking and it didn't look like they'd be done anytime soon.
Sighing, he walked to Kyo's room and packed his bags. After ridding Kyo's sock drawer of socks, he realized that the bottom of the drawer was about an inch and a half to high. Finding a little niche where he could pry up the false bottom, he discovered a dark blue-black leather bound notebook. He sat down on Kyo's bed an opened it.
Yuki is driving me INSANE! I like him so much but I can't touch him because I know there will be a day when I leave and know I'll never see him again, and that would kill me.
I think I love him.
Yuki apparently has to go to Akito's with me. I don't know for sure but that's what Shigure says.
He flipped through the rest of the book, finding out everything about Kyo. Kyo adored him, it wasn't mere attraction, and he actually loved him! It was a little scary, but he felt terrible about what happened on the roof now. He slid the notebook into Kyo's bag.
"Wha…what are you doing in here?" Yuki glanced up, wide eyed at Kyo, Hatori standing behind him.
"It looked like you'd be talking to Hatori for a while so I thought I'd pack your bag, too."
"Thanks, now leave, please."
"Kyo, stop this. We're going to be seeing a lot of each other, so we should at least be friends."
"What if I don't want to be friends?" Yuki stared at him and Kyo's eyes screamed, 'What if I want to be more than that?"
"Yuki, come here." Hatori beckoned him forwards. Yuki obliged, sending Kyo a glance that hopefully said, 'I'm so sorry, I know you love me.'
"Yuki, why did you do that to him?"
"Do what?"
"You tricked him." Yuki felt his face burn and he looked at his shoes.
"I…I didn't mean to! I was scared Hatori…"
"Well, I think the best thing for now is to apologize and see what happens. Alright?"
Yuki sighed. "Fine." He slid back into Kyo's room. Kyo straightened up, sniffling.
"What?"
"I…I'm so…I'm so sor…I love you too." In a rush of emotion, Yuki changed course and blurted out what he knew to be true this entire time. Kyo's eyes widened.
"I…I never meant to say what I did. I was a real jerk…but I was scared and embarrassed...I didn't know what to do…it was just-"
"Shut up. You're pathetic when you ramble." With tears on both of their faces, they kissed, holding the other as close as possible. Kyo sat on the bed and Yuki wrapped his legs around Kyo's waist.
With a small smile, Hatori walked back downstairs. Shigure and Ayame were cuddled on the couch flirting and occasionally kissing.
Euphoria is
A four-letter word.
"Spell, 'euphoria'."
"L-O-V-E."
"Correct."
A/N: What's you think? Good, bad, barf-worthy, puke-inducing, what? Well, definitely not my first yaoi ficlet but it's not done yet. Reviews are highly welcome, but if you flame, please don't flame too hard, it kind of hurts. Pokes spot where last flame hit OUCH! I respond to my reviewers or maybe I'll have Soubi-kun do it for me.
Soubi- Oh dear god, not again. RITSUKA!! SAVE ME!
By the way, I don't own Soubi-kun, I "borrowed" him from Loveless, which is awesome! I should write a Loveless fic for Soubi-kun and Ritsuka-kun! YAY!
Soubi- I have no objections to that…
Ritsuka- Just as long as I don't lose my ears…glares at me
Oh, don't worry, I'm trying to back off with the hardcore yaoi (I.E. sex!) That got a little too embarrassing…and even though I've never seen the movie, I might do a Brokeback Mountain one, but then again, probably not. OH yeah! I need suggestions for who Haa-san and Tohru-chan should end up with in the end….thanks bye!
