Hello Everyone!

Disclaimer - I do not own Fruits Baskets or the Characters

I just wanted to let you know that this is my 3rd story on here and my 1st Fruits Basket story! There is too one thing you should know about this story though. It has Italics and that is where it is written in first person during Kyo's point of view (KPOV) okay. Enjoy!

Lovers or Just Friends

I love you; I love you so much Tohru. But why, why can't I tell you. I'm such a coward. Hiding my feelings like some elementary school kid with a crush. But is more than a crush, I know it is. When you're near me Tohru, my hart skips a beat. Lost in my thoughts of love for you. I often find it hard to breathe. If only I wasn't so foolish. If only I didn't act this way, so idiotically. If only I could just tell you.

School was nearing its end for them. Yuki, Kyo and Tohru would be graduating from the twelfth grade in about a month's time. It was a boring Sunday afternoon and not much was going on. Kyo was lying on his bed, realizing his feelings for Tohru and debating himself over whether or not to tell her. Shigure was sitting at the kitchen table reading the paper while Tohru was outside hanging up the laundry. Yuki was out visiting his secret base.

Kyo sat up on his bed. He let out a long yawn and stretched out his arms. Noticing the dry taste in his mouth and feeling rather thirsty he decided to go get some milk. As he poured the milk into the glass he glanced over his shoulder. Shigure had put his paper down on the table and was now sneakily peeking out of the window, trying not to be seen. Kyo chugged down his milk. "What are you doing?"

"Shh!" Shigure replied and pointed his finger to something outside. Kyo placed his empty glass in the sink and walk over to the window. There he could see Yuki and Tohru in plain sight talking to one another.

"Hello Yuki, did you just come from the secret base?" Tohru asked with a smile stilling hanging laundry.

"Yes I've planted some strawberries for you."

"Really! Oh thank you so much, I hope it wasn't too much trouble."

"No not at all Miss Honda." He gave her a big reassuring smile and she replied with a whole-hearted one.

"So Yuki how is your job coming along, it's not to over-working is it?"

"Oh it is great working with a Hatori now as his assistant. Without Akito here to take up most of his time, he has many patients and a lot of them travel personally to his office at the main house. That is where I come in by scheduling the appointments and checking on the patients. I do work hard though but it pays well. I've really been saving up."

"What are you saving up for?" Yuki began to look serious.

"I think I'm gonna get out of here and find a one room apartment somewhere." Tohru's eyes grew wide at the thought of him leaving.

"Are you sure you're gonna move out?" Yuki didn't even have to think about that question.

"Yeah…and I want you to come with me." Tohru stared at him with a puzzled look on her face. As Tohru was about to speak, Yuki cut her off.

"You see the truth is Miss Honda, I love you and I need you with me. Please say you'll come Miss Honda. We could get are things, right now. Just the two of us and leave later tonight, what do you say?" At the sound of this Kyo's heart sank, not being able to listen to their heart crushing conversation anymore Kyo ran upstairs to his room and locking the door.

"Oh Yuki, yes I love you and I do want to go with you. I really do but…what about school, what about our responsibilities, what about Shigure and Kyo? They need us too. It just not enough time to tell them and we have to get ready for our final exams too. We just…I just, can't." Yuki's serious look was now a sad one.

"You are right Miss Honda, perhaps I can wait until school is over, then we can go together." Tohru smiled.

"Thank you Yuki, that is plenty of time to get prepared for our exams and let Shigure and Kyo know that we will be leaving." Yuki then placed the palm of his hand on Tohru's cheek and caressed it softly with his thumb, a loving smile on his face. She replied back with her own loving gaze into his eyes. And with that Yuki whispered a sweet 'goodbye' into her ear as he walked into the house and Tohru returned to the laundry.
