Song: Shine - Laura Marling (if you don't know Laura, check her out. She's pure genius). This is a really literal take on the song, but it was fun XD So, who participated in Earth hour this year? I didn't -.- I was going to, but then I had to complete an overdue assignment on my computer instead. Sorry, Earth. I'll do better next time XD
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Fruits Basket, Laura Marling, or Laura Marling's talent :(

"Machi…" He'd never really thought about it before, but he couldn't think of a better explanation, "Are you scared of the dark?"
She looked affronted for a moment, then turned away.
"Idiot." She mumbled. She seemed embarrassed. "Just… everyone knows accidents are most likely to happen in the dark. I just don't want you to die from falling over something and breaking your neck, that's all."
On the one hand, this could be a silly lie to cover herself because she was ashamed of having a fairly childish fear. On the other, given the state of her apartment, it could just be very sensible forward thinking.
