Hi there everyone. This chapter does not contain a lemon, but it's leading up to it. Do enjoy. Oh and please review. I'd like to know what works and what doesn't. Oh and any suggestions on what should happen next are more than welcome :) Thank you all.
We were in the garden. Vines clung to the columns, bunches of grapes hung from the ceiling, while water droplets fell on the two of us. Kyo held my hand, and I held his. I looked above the horizon thinking of what was next.
"What are you thinking about?" I focused on his lips as his mouth formed the words. I couldn't help but imagine those lips against my own. Knowing that a kiss could come next left my cheeks to burn. "Tohru?"
"K-Kyo. I-I-I was just thinking." My eyes darted to the floor as he looked up into mine. "I was thinking about us. What we were going to do. The adventures we'd get to go on together." I smiled up at him.
His arms wrapped tightly around me. Holding me to him, I noticed my heart beating faster, I wondered if his was too. I laid my head on his chest, and could faintly hear a fast beating noise. His heart beat fast for me.
I lifted my head up to look into his eyes. I leaned into him stopping my lips only a hair length away from his own. There I waited for a moment that dragged on. Then his lips were on my own. His tongue licked at my lips so I opened my mouth. I was still a little new to this whole kissing thing. Our tongues intertwined with one another. At some moments my tummy would tingle. It was on odd sensation, his tongue on mine, yet oddly enough it was comforting. It was nice.
The kiss was broken, and I wanted to fall into his arms. Instead I caught his stare.
"Oh Tohru, I love you."
"And I love you Kyo." I smiled at him. Those eyes of his were liquid crimson, and moved in closer.
His lips were on mine again. The cool rain made him feel incredibly warm. Droplets of water clung to my hair. His hands were in my hair, grasping, playing with it. I returned the favor, and ran my hands through his thick set of carrot colored hair.
I broke the kiss in sudden haste. I grinned slyly at him. He returned my grin with a look of confusion. Then I tackled him to the grass that was wet with the rain. I was on top of him, and kissed him once again.
"Tohru." I kept kissing him. "Tohru." His voice was soft. I didn't want to stop kissing him.
"Yes, Kyo?"
I was watching his eyes now. In that moment I noticed each time he blinked, the curious look that lay on his face.
"Cats don't like rain, but I like you more." And he returned my kisses. "But please, could we continue this inside."
"Oh Kyo, I'm so sorry, I forgot. I mean the curse is all over, and I thought it didn't affect. Oh I'm so ridiculous. I'm really so-" He stopped my rambling.
"It's okay." He smiled at me. "You have nothing to be sorry for."
"Oh Kyo, lets hurry and get inside." I pulled on his hand and brought him inside. "There we're out of the rain now."
He smiled up at me. "Shall we go to our room now Tohru?"
"Yes, I think we shall." Clicking on the button we waited. Ding! Together we stepped into the elevator, and I had never felt more anxious.
