Tohru's Point of View
I watched as Yuki walked in. "I'm home!" He called out.
I let out a sigh of relief. He had skipped school and then disappeared from the house. I suspected he was tending to his garden, but he had been out too long… "Welcome home," I answered him, cheerfully.
"Where have you been, you rat?" Kyo-Kun practically spat on him. "She's been worried sick," 'she' referring to me, of course. I blushed. "You were probably doing something idiotic. Where have you been?" He asked again.
Yuki looked at Kyo-Kun for a moment, just staring at Kyo-Kun, not replying to him.
"Answer me," Kyo-Kun lost his patience. He punched the wall, inches away from Yuki.
"Ky-Kyo-Kun!" I cried.
Normally, Yuki-Kun would have said something along the lines of "You stupid cat," but he said nothing. He might have even punched Kyo-Kun. Instead, he did something else. Yuki-Kun smiled like he has never before, radiating happy waves, and reached out and ruffled up Kyo-Kun's head. I am not sure who was more surprised, me, Kyo, or Shigure, who had just walked into the room.
"Whoa… What's gotten into him?" Shigure watched as Yuki went up to his room. I just sat there, staring at the spot where Yuki had done the unthinkable. Kyo-Kun just kept standing there, his fist to the wall. I wondered what, or who, had made him so, well, elated. What I did know that I hadn't been the one that had made him happy.
Next day, Student Council Meeting
Machi's Point of View
I fiddled with the zipper on my jacket, listening to Yuki drone on about something related to another school club. For some reason, I couldn't focus on what he was saying. In fact, I couldn't focus on him. If I looked up at him, I'd feel my face grow red, and I'd lose myself in his eyes. His smile eclipsed
everything else. "Machi-Chan? Are you spacing out?" Kimi's face suddenly appeared before my own, blocking out the view of my zipper.
I jumped at Kimi's voice. I didn't say anything. In all honesty, I was surprised that she was talking to me. "Aw, leave her alone, Kimi-Chan." This was Manabe. "She's just day dreaming about Yuki."
I threw my fist at Manabe's face. Gosh, he's such a pain.
"Eh?!" This obviously grasped Kimi's attention. She ate up gossip like a dog eats leftovers. "Why would Manabe say anything like that? It's obvious that it's supposed to be Kimi and Yuki! Right, Yuki?"
"Kimi, you just can't accept the fact that one guy doesn't like you more than another girl, can you?" This was Manabe again. I felt like punching him again.
"Yuki, tell Manabe that this is absurd! You like Kimi!" I looked up at Yuki. He was looking at his council. Silence.
Kimi opened her mouth to say something again, but Yuki cut her off. "So, as I was saying…"
"Yuki! This is—"
"Shut up, Kimi! Would you please stop being such a pain in the butt for once and let Yuki finish up this meeting?" Nao looked completely mad at the world. Not that like that was anything new. Still, that was pretty harsh.
"N-Nao…" Kimi looked like she was about to cry. I rolled my eyes. She's so melodramatic, I thought to myself.
I turned in my chair and looked at Yuki. He looked somewhat amused. I suppose you have to have a sense of humor dealing with this colorful bunch. I returned my gaze to Nao. He looked uncomfortable, and sifted in his seat, averting his eyes from Kimi. "I…I'm sorry. It's just that I have somewhere to be later and I can't be late…"
"Oh!" Kimi immediately perked up. "Does Nao-Chan have a date?"
"Shut up!" Nao slammed his fist down on the table. "It's none of your business!"
"Do tell, Chibi," Manabe was interested too. Poor Nao. He didn't stand a chance against the two of them.
"STOP CALLING ME CHIBI!" I found myself smiling. Yuki's eyes met mine and we just looked at each other for a moment. Suddenly, I turned away right as he did.
"Machi and Yun-Yun do like each other!" Kimi and the others were staring at us. They all looked surprised. Well, Kimi and Nao did. Manabe looked smug, as if he knew all along. "But why…?"
"Well, we all knew it was coming. It couldn't be that far off if Chibi found himself a girlfriend. Chibi, of all people, too!"
"SHUT UP! DON'T CALL ME CHIBI! AND WHAT'S SO UNBELIEVEABLE ABOUT ME GETTING A GIRLFRIEND?!"
"Ah, so you do have a girlfriend!"
"SHUT UP!"
Ah, the exciting days of Student Council. Heaven forbid we have a dull meeting, nevertheless a quiet one.
