Notes: Kyou's POV
Theme: Pancakes
Stupid Akito, ruining our vacation again. He just loves to dump that ice cold bucket on water on us, right when we get to be at our happiest. Stupid bastard.
It's not like I'm feeling jealous of everyone else going off to see that prick, I'm glad I don't always have to go. For one thing, I don't like having all my free time revolving around him anyway.
And besides, if I was invited, Tohru would've been left alone. I couldn't let that happen, especially after the New Year's incident. No one like her should have to be alone when she should be having a great time.
"Kyou-kun, are you su--"
"I'm fine. You going to show me how to make pancakes?"
She smiled at me. "Certainly! Now you'll need some flour--"
The rest of what she said I didn't hear. I was too focused on her happy demeanor. How could she still be so happy despite everything else around her?
"Really, Tohru."
"Huh?"
"Never mind."
"R-ROOAARR!"
"Roar?"
"It's no reason for me to get depressed, right? I can't get depressed! I have to be cheerful! And lively! Right?"
"Kyou-kun! You're not paying attention!"
I snapped my head up and Tohru was glancing at me with concern. I smacked myself. "Eh, sorry. Zoned out there. I'll have you show me how to make them another day. But I'd still like to have some pancakes."
She tilted her head, and I could tell she wasn't really convinced. "Okay--if you're sure!"
I looked out of the window at the backs of everyone that left and were still in view. "I'm sure."
