Author Notes: Uh...Yeah. I fail. Sorry. As I said before, this is based off a rp I did with my friend, and looking through the document and making a story out of it is a lot harder than I had thought. But I have found a pretty good way to do it, so I think I'll start uploading once a week rather than, what, the two weeks it took? Anyway, thanks for the reviews! I really appreciated them, and oh animenightelf, thank you for the tip on spacing. I hope this is easier to read!
Disclaimer: Tried to kidnap Yuki, but sadly, those damn fangirls attacked me. So I still do not own Fruits Basket.
Yuki woke up in the morning perfectly rested and energized. After stretching his limbs, the rat proceeded with the morning ritual. Taking a quick stop in the bathroom, the oblivious teenager came down to the kitchen only to find breakfast just being finished, so he took a seat at the table, rubbing his eyes in the process to wake himself up. Kyo eyed him with suspicious eyes. Damn it...He looked so cute rubbing his eyes like that....
Kyo, irritated, took it out on his glass of milk by chugging it and banging it on the table, startling Yuki into full awareness. His eyes widened in surprise as he stared at the reason for the sudden loud wakening bang. Kyo met his eyes, only to give him a grumpy "hmph" and look away. Although he was a bit confused by his enemy's actions this morning, Yuki decided to ignore it and wait for the delicious smelling breakfast coming from the kitchen, completely oblivious that he could be anywhere near the object of another man's desire.
Throughout the day, Kyo was slowly figuring out just how much life hated him. Apparently, after the seed planted in his head by his self conscious (Kyo believes this fact is not yet proven and that he himself would never say that, therefore it must be an imposter inside his head. Details not yet worked out), he simultaneously ran into Yuki again and again. Currently, Kyo was walking down the hall, hoping some fresh air would help.
Deep in thought, Kyo was quickly pulled out of it after something hard stopped him. He looked up, and found himself looking into the bright silver eyes of his new attraction. Attempting to hide his loss of breath, Kyo tried a glare, but it was soon wiped off when he realized something; Yuki's skin was unusually soft...The young teenager was spared whatever thoughts might have followed when Yuki took a step back.
"You shouldn't space out so much." Yuki commented. The only thing Kyo could do was move his eyes to another position and mumble,
"Y-You're right. My bad" before brushing past the now speechless Yuki to go take a nice long walk. Yuki watched Kyo leaved, still stunned by his rival's words. Did Kyo really just say that? After debating whether or not this was a particularly good idea (It wasn't), Yuki decided to go talk to Shigure. He entered the novelist's office only to find the owner drawing a very obvious non-work related picture. At hearing the door, Shigure looked up.
"Hey Yuki. Something wrong?" the older man asked.
"Shigure...Has Kyo been acting strange lately to you?" Yuki asked, intently thinking about it himself. Shigure looked curiously at Yuki.
"Mmm, maybe just a little. Why, has he said something to you?" Suddenly very interested in the conversation, the older man sat down his pen to listen.
"Wah. Ah no, he hasn't. I was just wondering..." Yuki turned around and left, leaving a now fairly interested pest behind him. A devilish smirk on Shigure's face, the man contemplated a few certain ideas that crept into that corrupt mind of his.
"Yes Kyo has been acting strange. Those two both have. Ah, they must somehow crave to be good friends but are afraid of what people would think after such a long feud! I'm such a genius! As the merciful man I am, I simply can not stand back and let those poor boys not learn of friendship! ..." Shigure's head snapped back and was now in deep concentration with his drawing, trying to think of an idea to push them together.
It was only a little over an hour later that Shigure burst into the house, yelling out for everyone to hear.
"I'm hooooooooome! Where is my darling housewife? Is she in the kitchen preparing my late lunch?" He peaked his head into the kitchen, where he found only one teenager there, doing the dishes. Tohru looked up at him with a smile.
"Oh, Shigure! I'm glad you're back!"
"Don't talk about her like that." Yuki said as he walked into the kitchen after hearing Shigure's loud proclamation. He leaned against the wall with his arms crossed, a stern look on his face.
"Oh Yuki, don't get so jealous! I don't plan on stealing this wonderful woman from you! Anyway, moving on to why I've been gone. Now I have a fantastic idea! Oh, where is Kyo? Sulking somewhere?" The older man cried happily. Kyo was, in fact, half asleep in the living room, amazingly not having woken up from Shigure's loud yelling.
"I don't know where that stupid cat is. Why are you in such a good mood. What did you do." Yuki asked suspiciously.
"Don't be so mistrusting Yuki! Why don't you go find that cat of ours. I have something we can all do together."
"What did you have in mind?" Tohru asked. Shigure grinned, but didn't say anything more. Yuki sighed, heading off into the living room and finding Kyo sleeping on the couch. He went over to him and shook his shoulder.
"Hey, wake up…" Kyo opened his eyes in a daze. He rubbed his red orbs, slightly irritated for being woken up.
"What the hell do you want?" Kyo grumbled. He noticed some drool and quickly wiped it off, hoping Yuki hadn't noticed it. That would have been embarrassing…
"Shigure wants us all to do something together. I was sent to wake you up." Yuki stared at Kyo for a moment.
"You're such a messy sleeper." He commented.
So he did notice.
"Yeah? Well tell him I'm too busy for his family quality time crap." Yuki sighed softly.
"Tohru looked really happy about the idea. Why not do it for her sake? I wasn't exactly looking forward to more time with you either." Yuki reasoned. Kyo paused for a moment, looking up to study Yuki closely. After a moment he nodded softly.
"I guess you have a point….Damn rat." He muttered. Kyo never could figure out why Yuki was so good with words. Always good at solving problems in an instant, it was one of the things the cat used to hate about him. Now, it was turning into something Kyo actually admired.
Damn it. This can not be happening to me…
"Oh good, you two are already here. You can help me set up while Tohru finishes up the dishes." Both boys looked and saw Shigure walking towards them. Throwing the box on to the couch, Shigure opened it and pulled out a mat, spreading it out in a clear space.
"What the hell kind of game is this."
"I'm glad you asked Kyo. You see, this is-"
"Twister! I haven't played this game in such a long time!" Tohru exclaimed as she entered the room.
"Right you are Tohru! Although you'll have to be the spinner I'm afraid. The game wouldn't be as fun with animals running around if you know what I mean." Tohru nodded in agreement, taking a spot on the floor with the spinner next to her.
"Sounds interesting. What are the rules?" Yuki asked. Tohru waved a hand.
"Oh it's really easy. I'll spin the spinner and then I'll call out what it lands on....Lets see it landed on right hand red...So you try to put your right hand on a red a fast as you can. I continue, and whoever falls over first loses. Get it?" she asked smiling. She was happy, and Yuki couldn't help but smile softly at Tohru's obvious excitement over the game.
"Well said Tohru! Now, if you two will pick a side, we can start." Shigure grinned.
This was a perfect idea! Nothing like a little game to spice up a friendship!
The three males all stood at different sides, Kyo looking at the mat warily.
Why am I doing this again?
He looked over at Tohru, but then frowned as he turned his eyes on Yuki.
Oh. That's the reason…
He sighed mentally.
I'm in a lot of trouble.
"We just do as Tohru asks? Sound simply enough. Think you can handle it?" Yuki challenged. Kyo's soft expression turn stern again.
"Just watch! I'll beat your sorry ass!" Kyo snapped. How hard could this game be?
"Alright! Left foot yellow!"
The game started, the three males following the directions without too much of a problem.
It was when Tohru called out a "Right hand blue!" that Shigure fell.
"Oh darn. It seems I've lost." Kyo and Yuki sent him stern glares, deciding they were only fueling his entertainment for the day.
"Right hand on red!"
Kyo bent over and put his palm on the nearest red circle. A bit of a stretch, but he was determined to finally have something he could beat Yuki at. Said rat set his hand on the circle next to Kyo's, finding this game to be quite easy.
"Left foot green," Tohru said. Yuki had to slide his foot between Kyo's legs to do this.
"Left hand on blue!" The first sweat broke out on Kyo's forehead as he stretched his hand out to blue. It didn't take long for all this strain to reach his muscles, you could only be so flexible. His belly brushed against Yuki's side when he wanted to give himself some relief, but it made his pulse race, so he willed himself to keep his body high in the air.
Yuki tensed at the feeling of Kyo brushing against him. He could only hope Kyo didn't feel it, but sadly, he was wrong. As the next color was called, the silver-haired teen had to push himself up in order to make his hand reach the circle, making his body tense even more as his back collided with Kyo's torso.
Kyo's stomach occasionally shrunk it as he began to have reactions to touching Yuki in such an odd way. It felt so weird -- He didn't think it would have turned out like this.
"I won't…lost…" His voice sounded strained and his elbows shook. He let his head fall and it bumped into Yuki's shoulder slightly.
"I'm not…going to lose either…" Yuki muttered through clenched teeth.
After the next color, Kyo found himself breathing right into Yuki's neck. He couldn't keep his head high anymore, and his entire arms were shaking, his legs bent inward to brush against Yuki's. It was like slow motion when Kyo came tumbling down on top of Yuki, his hands landing on either side of the rat's head.
Yuki, unable to hold both of them up, fell down to the ground, leaving Kyo laying on his back.
"Stupid cat…" Yuki felt more than a little awkward having Kyo on him in such a matter, but he tried not to reveal how much it bothered him. Kyo, on the other hand, quickly scrambled off of Yuki, his breathing slightly labored as he rubbed his sore muscles.
That was so embarrassing…
"Annnnd, the winner is….! Yuki! Surprise. Surprise." Shigure announced, watching while Yuki stand up and glaring at Kyo.
"Not very impressive stamina." He accused, Kyo glared daggers at him.
"Are you both alright?" Tohru asked.
"What do you think?" Kyo snapped. Why had he even chosen to play this stupid game. If anything, he should have been avoiding being around Yuki, but oh no, he just had to try and beat him at something! He turned to Yuki.
"And you…You…Just stay the hell away from me." Tired and embarrassed, Kyo left the room, leaving an amused Shigure and a confused Yuki in his wake.
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
The next few days passed by rather quickly after that, to Kyo's delight. Well, depending on how you looked at it. After that awkward game, Kyo was struggling more than ever to try and understand the newfound feelings he now had towards his old enemy.
Currently the young teenager was laying down on his bed, finally able to start relaxing. At hearing a knock on his door, Kyo looked over to find Tohru there smiling.
"Lunch is ready. Oh and Haru came over to visit as well." Kyo followed her out, heading downstairs to fill his stomach.
The time was right after lunch, and Yuki was walking into the kitchen. He'd be unusually quiet for the past few days, a seemingly permanent headache burdening his cluttered mind. Setting his dishes in the sink, Yuki wasn't paying any attention when Kyo, who was also deep in thought, come in and set his dishes down as well. Both of the males jumped and then glared at each other.
"W-What are you doing here?!" He questioned. They'd both been doing their best to stay away from each other, so this sudden close proximity was setting both of them on immediate edge.
"I'm putting away my dishes. What are you doing?" Yuki didn't bother to listen for an answer as he quickly made a beeline for the door, ignoring Kyo's yelling of "What does it look like I'm doing?!" Kyo easily brushed past him, reaching the exit first, and heading up to his room. Yuki stopped for a moment, watching Kyo for a moment, then scoffing as he went up to his own room.
Haru crossed his arms from his position by the kitchen.
"What is going on with those two…" he murmured as he shook his head and set his dishes into the sink.
It was only an hour or two later that Yuki got bored with sitting in his room and decided to watch some T.V. He sat down next to Haru, who gave him a pleasant nod before going back to watching some kind of cartoon. Yuki's head snapped up to Kyo when the boy walked in and settled down in a seat on the floor unusually far from the television, but close enough so he can still see it. Haru watched the exchange with an impassive expression. Turning back to the screen, he decided to test the waters.
"So. Anything particularly interesting happen between the two of you? Or is it simply my imagination that you two are completely avoiding each other?" Haru asked nonchalantly. Yuki glanced over in Kyo's direction, his chin lightly set into his hand.
"Not particularly. Kyo's the one acting strange." He muttered in a calm voice, hiding the fact that he too, was acting a bit stranger than usual. Kyo twitched at the answer, but controlled his temper.
"Am not…" Was his brilliant retort. Yuki rolled his eyes. He might have found it amusing, if he'd had any idea what was going through Kyo's mind to make him act differently in the first place. Haru studied the two of them for a moment, taking in their slightly tense postures and deep-in-thought expressions.
The three boys managed to have a while of television without any mishaps, although Hatsuharu was now positive that there was something going on between Yuki and Kyo. Their behavior was just peculiar, especially Kyo's. It seems that Yuki was just reacting to Kyo's change in behavior rather than the change being himself. It made Haru very curious, and he planned to investigate this situation further.
Tohru came in to get them when it was dinner time, and Yuki was the first one up with Haru following closely behind. Sighing, the cat got up and followed the others into the dining room, stopping short as he reached the doorway. Hatsuharu was sitting in what was his usual spot, leaving the only available spot next to his new secret love. After sucking in a quick breath, Kyo sat down and started to pile food on his plate. He reached for fish and was instead met with Yuki's hand. Looking up he saw Yuki staring at their touching appendages. The rat quickly pulled his hand back and set it in his lap. Surprisingly, he didn't say anything, which took Kyo aback.
He was pulled out of it by Shigure's voice.
"Yuki, did you take a shower today?" he asked. Slightly confused, Yuki looked over and slowly answered,
"Yes...Why?" Kyo stared at Shigure with a hard stare. The image of Yuki's wet body slowly drifted into his mind and Kyo's immediately stiffened.
"Well, you take rather long, hot showers. It's rather cold when I go to take mine. Are you trying to sweat yourself to death? There are better ways to do it you know." Shigure continued on with his babbling as Kyo got another set of images in his mind. Yuki...Body glistening with sweat...Heavy, labored breathing…Body bright red with the heat...
Oh shit…Kyo thought to himself as he felt his pants suddenly tighten.
"No, that was not my intention. It relaxes my muscle if you must know." Yuki had a stern look on his face. God the crease on Yuki's brow was so adorable! And the thoughts of Yuki's relaxing muscles in a hot shower...The hormonal boy's mind immediately went to impure thoughts, making a very painful twinge in his lower body. He moved one of his hands down into his lap, pressing against his growing erection. He glanced around to see if anyone noticed, no one seemed to, but when he looked over at Yuki he found the beautiful silver eyes looking at him with a curious wonder. Under the supposed harmless look, Kyo started to clench his teeth as more throbbing pain came over him. Stupid stupid stupid…This was not good at all! What am I going to do?! Kyo yelled into his mind, but received no answer. He pressed his hand firmly to his pants, but it gave him very little relief.
Kyo was desperately trying to figure out a way to get out of this horrible situation when he felt a light hand on his bare arm. Horrified he looked over to see the source. Yuki's hand was on his arm, looking at him with a rather worried face.
"Are you alright?" he asked in his soft tone. It took all of the cat's willpower not to pounce on him right there.
"F-Fine! I'm just not feeling well!" he stood up, running out of the room. Everyone stared. Haru's eyebrow raised as he stared at Kyo's descending back.
"Hmm…" he murmured to himself, deep in thought.
"Hah…Mmm…Ah" Kyo's moans could only be faintly heard past the door of the bathroom as he stroked and caressed his slick erection. Images of Yuki fueled his desire as he rubbed along the head, leaning against the sink and breathing heavily. His pants unbuttoned and down at his ankles, his long fingers caressed his shaft from under the boxers, hand getting slick with each brush of his sensitive tip.
As his climax got closer, his hand increased its pace as well. No longer teasing himself, Kyo wanted too badly to get it over with. In the back of his mind, he realized that he had to be absolutely insane for doing something like this, but the pleasurable tingles in his body were Kyo's only focus as he shuddered, finally reaching his peak.
Kyo leaned against the wall, panting heavily. Running his clean hand through his hair, he shook his head in disbelief.
"Damn it. Suddenly becoming like that…" The cat grumbled to himself as he cleaned up his mess, leaving no traces of what he had previously been doing. Taking a deep breath, Kyo opened the door, deciding going back to dinner was not the wisest decision right now. However, not going back may make everyone think there was more to his sickness. Sighing, the teenager walked back towards the dining area, taking his seat next to Yuki, feeling rather uncomfortable with the remains of his climax drying on to his skin beneath his clothes.
"You feeling better Kyo?" Tohru asked in a worried tone, making Kyo hang his head as he picked up his fork.
"Yeah…Never better…" he muttered in response, taking a bite of his food.
"Really? You look a little…hot." Kyo choked and started coughing. Once his food was no longer threatening to kill him, he glared at a smirking Haru.
"He's right. Your face is a little flushed. Are you running a fever?" Tohru couldn't help but ask.
"I'm fine guys. Jeez, if I knew I would be getting all these stupid questions I would have just went to my room..."
"There's really no reason to act like that. We're all just worried about you."
"Just shut up Haru! Why are you even here?" Kyo yelled. This only earned him a shrug.
"Wanted to check up on everybody, make sure Yuki was really okay."
"Thank you for your concern Haru, but it's really not necessary. As you can see, I'm perfectly fine." Yuki gave a reassuring smile, and Kyo scoffed as he angrily attacked his food with his fork. Haru smiled back at him.
"I'm happy to see that you're getting up and around. You weren't down for long were you?" Yuki chuckled a bit at that.
"No, it doesn't appear that I was." Yuki's smile remained in place and Kyo took a deep breath to calm himself. He's been doing that a lot lately it seemed.
"Actually, I think I'll go to bed early." Kyo stood up, once again excusing himself from the table and went upstairs to his room. Letting out a deep sigh, Kyo stared up at his ceiling.
These feelings of his were wrong. There was no way that anything would come out of a relationship. And just the thought of Yuki's rejection made Kyo cringe at the pain in his chest. There was really only one thing he could do. He would just have to forget about these disgusting feelings of his.
As the minutes trickled by and turned to hours, Kyo became a bit restless. He always liked being left to his own thoughts, but now, it was just making his mood even worse. All he could think about was Yuki. How his eyes seemed to soften when he was talking to Tohru, or when he ate something he didn't particularly like his nose would scrunch up in the most adorable sense. The way he was so strong but his body was so slender and perfect, how he automatically tried to please others. Kyo was reminded of dinner, when Yuki told Haru he was fine. Was he really? It's not like Kyo could have asked him. He looked at the clock, it was past midnight.
"Yuki should be asleep…" Kyo stood up from his bed.
"A little look wouldn't hurt." Quietly as he could, as if he was afraid of being caught and really, he was, Kyo opened his door and walked down the hall towards Yuki's room. When he reached his destination, Kyo hesitated, hand hovering but an inch away from the doorknob. Taking in a deep breath, he opened the door as quietly as he could.
His eyes immediately fell on the bed and he approached it cautiously. He had no idea what effect this would have on him after all. Kyo looked down at the slumbering face of Yuki. He looked so angelic while sleeping. His face completely relaxed, not a winkle in sight. Just slow, labored breathing and the rise and fall of his blanket-covered chest.
Kyo reached his hand out towards the sleeping teen, but once again hesitated before he touched him. He stood them for a moment, then decided to simply run his fingers ever so lightly over the sheets. His heart thumped loudly in his chest. His body suddenly a bit overheated, Kyo walked over to the window and opened it, enjoying the feeling of the cool chill against his heated skin. Leaning against the window sill, Kyo couldn't help but wonder. Did this feeling, make him gay? He couldn't say that he was attracted to any other male, but he hadn't really ever looked before. Was it just Yuki? Or could it be something else?
Questions no more clearer than they were when he got them, Kyo left the room with one last look back at Yuki, closing the door behind him. He rested his head against the door, trying to decipher his feelings.
"Anything on your mind?"
Uh-Oh.
I'm really sorry for the cliffhanger! I just thought this was the best place as any to stop. I should have the next part up soon. Ah, and just another warning!
This will not stay a KyoxYuki.
It will be relatively soon, but just in case it was forgotten.
