Ayame's Dress Shop of Horrors
Disclaimer: Fruits Basket will never belong to me, Takaya-sensei agrees. I feel defeated.
Rated T for Kyo's potty mouth. Otherwise, it's kid friendly. Mostly.
It was a cold, hard day...
In actuality, it was a sunny spring. But to our heroes,
It was a cold, hard day.
Why? You ask.
Sohma Ayame paid a visit. That's why.
Sohma Yuki, however, was not pleased. Sure, it was nice to hear that his brother was doing well, but since it was Ayame there was a thing called doing too well.
"Haahahahaa! My dear brother Yuki, it is such a fine day today! Perhaps we should settle a picnic and spend some time together to deepen our brotherly bonds." With those two words, Ayame emphasized with a gesture that looked like he was groping his chest (breast if he had any) and a breathy sigh.
Kyo had the decency to choke on his milk and not laugh too hard.
Yuki had the decency to cover his eyes as he struggled fiercely with the horrible, horrible mental images that threatened to invade his mind.
Tohru sat there, applauding Ayame's heartfelt acting. Tohru, fortunately, had the gift of obliviousness which explained her immunity to the weirdness of the Sohma clan.
Others, however, were not as fortunate as her. (Take, for example, Yuki. He could only last 3 minutes in his brother's histrionic presence and 5 paragraphs of his brother's long winded monologues before his fingers began twitching for an object to hurl at the snake.)
Unfortunately, Ayame had a sinister plan in mind.
"Ne, Tohru, Kyo hasn't seen you in any of my creations, has he?" Ayame smiled a charming smile at the girl. Which placed Yuki in a instinctual panic.
Kyo raised an orange eyebrow. "Why would Tohru wear any of your damn abominations?"
Ayame replied with a wave, dismissing Kyo's question, and began discussing with Tohru about his new 'inspiration'.
"You see," Ayame began, the charming smile still placed on his lips, "I have found a new category ("There are categories in clothing?!") in which to grace my talent in. Gothic Lolita, is what I believe it was called."
Tohru blinked, Yuki blinked, Kyo blinked ... Shigure was asleep.
"Huh?" All three of them asked in complete unison.
Ayame smiled a charming smile, but this time, there was a sharp glint in his eye. "Why don't you come and see?"
Immediately, warning bells began ringing in both Kyo's and Yuki's mind.
Shigure just shifted in his sprawled form on the floor before resuming his snoring.
Tohru immediately accepted. Ayame flashed a victory sign.
The cold, hard day became a freezing, hard day.
