what happens when OT3 feels strike at 2AM.
He grasps the yellow ribbon and pulls her forward, a sharp tug on soft hair. She gasps as she collides with him, as he presses his mouth firmly to hers.
"I gave you that ribbon. You're mine, not his, understand?"
Her cheeks darken, eyes downcast. "I belong to you," she murmurs, and she takes his other hand, laces their fingers together.
But he knows she'll go back to him, the boy with fiery hair and garnet eyes. He can't stop her; it's a game he plays with her, this notion of ownership. There are times when he thinks he would like her to stay only with him. Someday, perhaps. What they have now is still too precious for him to let go of.
And he would be lying if he said the garnet-eyed boy did not also attract him…

When Yuki lays claim to her, branding her with harsh words or a tight grip on her wrists, it arouses her. And though he tries to hide it, there's a softness in his eyes when he does such things. He knows how this affects her and so he plays along. She is still ashamed at her mind and body's reaction, but his lack of judgment lessens the shame.
There is something else that gnaws at her. Something at once more and less complicated. The other boy, Kyo. She has feelings for him too.
He's different than Yuki. Spare with words, not regal, a bit clumsy. But there's an odd grace about him at times, and she feels safe when he holds her…
Like she does with Yuki.
The possessive Prince and the quiet Knight… How can she possibly choose?

Kyo. That's the garnet-eyed boy's name.
He's seen how Tohru acts with him. They have something easy and casual in their interactions, as if they've known each other forever. Tohru has more than once laughed her way to tears with him. Yuki envies the fluidity they have, envies how warm her smile is.
The same smile he's blessed enough to see. A smile she only shows them both.
When he looks at Kyo, he feels strange. Like a mouse under the gaze of a cat when their eyes meet. His pulse stutters and his blood warms and he knows it's not fear at all, and that troubles him.
He wonders what the other boy feels, if anything. He wonders what Tohru would think if she knew what he was thinking.

Is her heart big enough to hold this rushing love for two people? Maybe she is simply greedy, and yet.
She doesn't feel wrong. It simply exists, this desire for them both. She doesn't feel torn between them, even though she should be. And might have been, if she wasn't aware of the small current of tension when Yuki and Kyo crossed paths. Yes, she's seen them, when she's been at a distance or hidden away. A delicate civility comes to light when she isn't with them. She senses they're both holding something back, and she wants to bring it out.
Perhaps it's wishful thinking. Her own wishes clouding her perception, making her see what doesn't exist.
If only she had the courage to voice her thoughts.
