That night Tohru was too jittery to sleep. She lay awake staring at the ceiling replaying the events of the night over and over again in her mind. She tried to remember the feeling of his lips against hers and the warmness and comfort she felt being able to be so close to him.
It seemed Yuki felt the same way for he was doing what Tohru was at that moment too. He thought about her perfect eyes and lips and how happy she looked when he released her from the kiss. He wanted so badly to kiss her perfect lips again. Yuki thought all these things to the point were he lost control, he had to see his Tohru right then and there. So as quiet as a mouse he snuck into her bedroom. He sat down on a chair that was next to the bed and watched her.
Tohru was lying on her side when she thought she heard something at the door, but she ignored it and closed her eyes and continued to think about Yuki. Suddenly she felt like she was being watched, she slowly turned her body in the other direction.
"Yuki…"she whispered.
"Tohru…" he whispered back. He tucked a stray hair behind her ear and looked longingly into her eyes. He kissed her forehead lightly, "I love you," he said.
A blush crept up on her cheeks as she whispered, "What are you here for?" she saw a hint of disappointment on his face through the dark and wondered what she had done wrong.
"Tohru…you don't love me back?" Yuki asked with a puppy-dog grin on his face.
"Of course I love you back…but what did you need in here?" she asked.
"I can't stop thinking about you Tohru, "Yuki confessed "I was thinking about our…kiss…and just needed to see you." Now it was his turn to blush.
"I feel the same way Yuki…I was praying for the morning so I could see you…I didn't think you would be awake at this time of night." Tohru said.
"That does not matter right now…um…Tohru…can I stay the night with you?" he asked sheepishly with a red blush painted across his face.
Tohru mimicked his blush and nodded, "Sure…"
Yuki went to lie down but stopped short and grabbed two pillows form the end of the bed and placed them in between Tohru and himself.
"Just so I won't change while we sleep," Yuki explained. Tohru shook her head and watched above the pillows as Yuki lye his head against the pillow next to her. Yuki placed his hand gently on Tohru's cheek and relaxed at the warmness emanating from her body.
Tohru was shocked at the coldness of Yuki's hand and flinched under his touch but soon relaxed as she felt reassured that he was there and loved her. Tohru sighed and closed her eyes and felt Yuki do the same.
"Tohru I love…" Yuki began but fell asleep before he could finish.
"…Yuki…" Tohru questioned. She fell asleep soon after.
Somehow during the night Yuki and Tohru hugged and when Yuki woke up he was naked. Luckily Tohru was not awake but while he was putting his close on Shigure walked in.
Yuki put a finger over his lips signaling for Shigure to stay quiet, but all Shigure did was form his mouth in the shape of an "o" from pure shock.
Yuki walked over to the still sleeping Tohru and kissed the top of her head and dragged Shigure out of the room with him. Shigure did not say anything until they were in the kitchen.
"How could you do it…our sweet innocent little Tohru is no longer innocent." Shigure half sobbed and shook his head disappointedly at Yuki, "tsk, tsk, tsk," Shigure waved his finger in Yuki's face.
"Let me explain," Yuki started, "Me and Tohru started to get into a more friendly relationship with each other…we are like boyfriend and girlfriend kind of thing now…anyway I could not stop thinking about her and it got out of control and I had to see her, and it just so happen that when I want into her room she was awake and she said that she was thinking about me too…"Yuki paused for a breath and then continued. "Then I thought about leaving but then thought that if we had some pillows between us we could spend the night together without the fear of me changing into my other form, so I asked her if she would not mind if I stayed In her room for the night and she said no, so we went to sleep and we must have hugged some time last night but I promise I would never do something like that to miss-Honda ever…unless we were married but that is a whole different story…"Yuki had managed to say that in two breaths and was now searching Shigure's face for some kind of response.
It took a while for Shigure to register what Yuki had said but he had some questions to ask.
"So no…sexual contact or thought at any time…all appropriate behavior?" he asked serious for maybe the first time in his life.
"Of course!" Yuki half yelled annoy that Shigure would think of him that way.
