Chapter 4

His Gentle Touch

"Slow down, I don't want to end up back in hospital!" Yuki yelled at Haru while they were running through the forest, back to Shigure's house. "Please slow down." He pleaded.

"Aww. Come here you!" Haru stopped running, turned and tackled his boyfriend to the ground, smothering his face with kisses. "Are we okay now?" Haru asked with a smile.

"Very much so, thank you." Yuki muttered as he quickly placed a kiss on Haru lips then pushed him off. "Now, how are we going to tell Shigure about you wanting to stay with me?"

"Ha! Forget Shigure. Kyo is going to be hassling us even more!" Haru chuckled. It had been 2 days since Yuki was released from hospital, the doctors bamboozled on how Yuki had supernaturally been treated for tuberculosis. Never the less, Yuki was released but spent little time at home, enjoying every minute with Haru; his only true friend.

"Anyways, let's keep going. I think I can see the house up ahead." Yuki started to walk along the path, realizing that Haru's grey eyes were boring a hole into his back. "Are you checking me out, Haru?" Yuki muttered, a playful tone in his voice.

"What if I am? I'm allowed to do that, right?" Haru had an extremely mischievous look on his face. He started to walk towards Yuki but he had already started to run, leaving his laughter to echo around Haru.

"HAHAHAHA!" Yuki laughed, harder than ever but continued to run back to the house. Haru followed after him, anxious to grasp his lover. Yuki stopped as he saw Tohru walking inside with some groceries.

"Good afternoon, Miss Honda. How was shop--" Yuki stopped as he saw Tohru's foot catch on a root, forcing her to drop her groceries and to be sent plummeting towards a sharp rock laying on the ground.

"TOHRU!" Haru screamed coming out from the forest, watching the scene unfold before his eyes in slow motion. Yuki started moving towards Tohru. As he ran he threw his arms out, as if to catch her but instead, a nearby puddle of water rose from its den, curled underneath the falling girl and froze solid. Tohru Fell onto the smooth ice but no harm had befallen her.

Yuki stood, frozen himself, staring at his hands. How did I do that? He thought. Haru ran to Yuki grasping him in a huge hug. "It'll be alright. You saved Tohru, Yuki. You'll be fine." But even Haru wasn't sure on how convincing his words sounded.

"Yu—Yuki. Tha—thank you. You—You saved me." Tohru muttered, forming words to the best of her ability. She looked at Yuki. Yuki looked at Tohru. And they smiled.
