Summary: This is a one-shot fic featuring Tohru and Kyo and how you should always expect the unexpected...
AN: I got this story from my friend who told it to me during Word Study class.
Tohru had always remembered the first time Kyo had said he liked her... Unfortunately, they were still on 'crush' basis, which meant they liked each other but were not an item...YET.
In the morning, Tohru had twiddled with the ends of her hair staring out into the dark sky her eyes filled with hope and agony. She gazed as the sun slowly made it's way above the horizon catching every second of it's gleaming glory until she realized that the members of the Sohma family would soon be awake and she wanted to start on breakfast.
The first Sohma member that awoke was Kyo-kun. He stared at Tohru blankly then entered the kitchen grabbing a glass and pouring some white cold milk into it. Tohru glanced at him every minute or so until she snapped the oven off and walked towards Kyo.
"Umm Good Morning Tohru," he mumbled. His upper lip was stained with the white liquid as he stopped drinking and Tohru grabbed a napkin hidden within her apron pocket and wiped away the frosty mess.
"Thanks," he uttered. Tohru knew he would have said something else but she knew Kyo better than that...She knew he was still uncomfortable with the fact he had admitted he had a crush on her.
Tohru threw away the napkin and stared down at the shiny, clean floor, which wouldn't have been so lustrous if she had never moved in with the Sohma's. The floor seemed to stare back at her like a mirror until Kyo's voice had shattered her thoughts.
"So..." He began to say.
"Kyo tell me something..." Tohru looked straight into his orange eyes showing earnestness and smoke brewing within her soul.
"What?"
"Do you like me?" she asked. Her hands shifted into her apron pockets as she waited for his devastating answer that would pretty much reflect everything that would go on between the two from now on.
"No..." He muttered. Tohru's eyes were shot with hurt and melancholy.
"Do you think I'm pretty?"
"No..."
"Would you cry if I ever left or moved away?"
"NO!"
Tohru's eyes began to swell with tears and she could the taste bitter saltiness of one as it glided down her cheek and landing on her bottom lip. She held her head in her hands as she turned away from Kyo and wanted to head up to her room, jump out the window, and run away.
Kyo bit his lip in seeing that not being honest had it's most dire and suffering consequences. He grabbed both Tohru's hands and pulled them away so that her hiding face would appear. He rubbed his thumb against the side of her cheek and Tohru closed her eyes and sank into the feeling of his warm touch against her precious skin.
"Tohru...Look at me..." He repeated over and over again.
He grinned and pressed his lips against her ear, "I don't like you...I LOVE you... And you are not pretty, you are beautiful... and always will be no matter what you look like. And lastly... I would not cry if you moved away... I would DIE if you ever left me..."
She turned to gape at him with her wide brown eyes (AN: they are brown right?"). Kyo leaned in to kiss her when...
SHIGURE POPPED IN??? "WOAH!" He yelled chuckling a tear-jerking laugh. "I hope I'm not interrupting anything!!!"
The two teenagers gave him a sickening death glare notifying him to leave...OR ELSE. Shigure sweat-dropped and made an anime dash out the kitchen. Kyo's eye loosened up and instead of kissing Tohru he whispered, "Perhaps another day..." He smiled seudctively and turned away to go back to his room. Tohru continued to stand there emotionless...Her heart was beating 10 times faster and she sighed...
"Always expect the unexpected..."
