Tohru stood at the foot of her bed in her room, folding the clothes that she had just gotten from the laundry. They were so warm and comforting. She just wanted to fall into all the clothes and lay there. She smiled and shook her head as she picked up one of Kyou's shirts and began to fold it.
I wonder if he feels the same way…
She sighed and set the shirt down when she finished, picking up another shirt she began to fold it. Her eyes wandered to the window and she set the shirt down, walking over to it. She opened the door and stepped out onto the balcony. She leaned onto the railing and rested her chin on her hand as she looked at the sunset. She smiled. She loved the sunset. The mixture of colors in the sky was overwhelming.
…I wonder if he loves me too….
She closed her eyes and just stood there in silence for a moment. Just enjoying the moment.

Kyou knocked lightly on Tohru's door and opened it, stepping inside. He looked around the room and noticed the pile of half folded clothes. Where had she gone? He lifted his crimson eyes to her balcony and found her standing there. He felt his heartbeat quicken just seeing her standing there. She was so…beautiful.
She stood there, resting her chin on her hand. Her eyes were closed and her brown hair caressed her face gently. She was…too beautiful for words.
He took a deep breath and walked over to her, "Beautiful."
She opened her eyes quickly and stood up, surprised to see him there, "Oh! Kyou, I'm sorry." she smiled, "I was just enjoying the sunset."
He smiled, "No, it's fine. I'm sorry to bother you."
She shook her head, "You're not bothering me at all! I love watching the sun set with you." she smiled brightly and he smiled.
He took a deep breath as he felt the butterflies in his stomach rise, "Tohru, I can talk to you about anything, right?"
Her eyes softened, "Of course."
He nodded. He turned to the sunset and rested his arms on the railing of the balcony, "Well, lately…There's been this one girl and I can't seem to get her off my mind."
Tohru felt her heart drop in her chest. Kyou was talking to her about girl problems? She tried to keep herself composed but she just felt her world falling apart with every word he spoke.
He lifted his gaze to her's and continued, "This girl, she's always on my mind. I think about her when I sleep, when I wake up in the morning, as I eat. She's constantly in my mind and I don't think she'll ever leave. Everything I do, I want to do for her." He paused and looked at Tohru's expression. She looked like she was ready to cry but he had to finish this.
"She makes me want to be a better person and when I see her, I find my attitude change from one of anger, to one of love. She's the most beautiful girl in the world and I love her so much, some day I plan to marry her."
Tohru nodded and looked down, "Who…Who is this girl?"
Kyou pushed himself off the railing and took a step towards her. He lifted her head up and wiped away a stray tear. He smiled softly, "You." and then he pulled her into a long, lingering kiss.
