*Ugh. About time I wrote another chapter to this. So sorry for delaying this for so long but I've been so brain dead it isn't even funny! By the way, I still don't own Fruits Basket… ;-;…*
Precious - Chapter 6 - Tears
The odd silence was broken by the sudden sound of something falling to the floor and a loud, high-pitched scream that echoed throughout the house. Both Akito and Kyo turned to face the noise, Yuki rising from his nap, violet eyes wide in shock as he then jumped at the various other screams that followed his awakening.
"AYA!!!!"
"GURE-SAN!!!!"
"WOOOOOOOW!!!! WHY ARE YOU HERE?! CHAAAAA!"
Akito rolled his eyes… he honestly didn't get why those two carried on so much and made such a racket. Regardless, Hatori would take care of the problem… he was sure of it. He then turned back to Kyo and Yuki only to find a bewildered expression on the mouse's face. Frowning, he hung his head and slipped over to the boy. "Yuki…" he started as he kneeled and took one of the boys warm hands in his own cold ones, "I'm sorry…"
"I'm… Sorry…" Yuki repeated in a hushed manner before leaning forward to rest his forehead on Akito's chest. "I don't want to hear those words."
Akito was baffled. How could Yuki not want to hear that? Then what did he want to hear? He barely apologized for anything in his entire life! Yuki should had taken this situation as a blessing but instead he loathed it! How dare he! Sneering, he turned his head to the side. "You don't want to hear that? Fine. I wasn't put on this earth to please you, anyway! I don't need to live up to anyone's expectations, even yours."
. . .
"God dammit, Shigure! Shut the hell up!" At some point in time Kyo had managed to escape the dreaded Akito and Yuki moment, only to find himself smushed between both Shigure and Ayame who were giggling like love-struck school-girls. "Get the hell away from me! And STOP TOUCHING ME THERE!"
Both of the giggling men took an abrupt stop from trying to get to each other and peered down at the poor blue-faced Kyo. Had they noticed the boy had gotten between them, they would have stopped but they supposed they were too caught up to have noticed such a small detail.
"Ohohoho!" Shigure winked before kneeling somewhat to press his cheek right up against one of Kyo's. "We didn't notice you! So sorry!"
"Gure-saaaaaaan," Ayame whined before greedily pushing Kyo away so he could embrace the wonderful Shigure, "I brought food!!"
Kyo grumbled as he was pushed aside and calmly made his way back to Yuki and Akito, though he was mocking the two he left just seconds before. "Oh, Gure-san!" he mocked, adding a higher pitch to his voice to add effect, "I love you so much! Let's get locked in a closet and blahblah! No one cares… Akito… san… Yuki, Ayame brought…" He blinked as he turned his head to look at the two who were now on opposite sides of the room. He knew some way or another someone would screw up. "…Food… Are you two okay?"
"Shut up!" they both shouted in unison only to scoff at each other for daring to even think of speaking at a time like this.
"Stop mocking me!"
"YOU stop mocking ME!"
"DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO!"
Kyo nearly fell over -- why were Akito and Yuki acting like children?! He understood that they loved each other -- it was as obvious as the full moon in the clear night sky! But what had gone so wrong within the passing of a few minutes that it would alter those two so much? He was baffled.
"Akito-saaaaaaan…" Shigure called as he poked his head into the room, "Is Yuki being meant o you…?" Ayame was right behind him, his head peeking over the dogs shoulder. "We have food!" the both of them chirped, "be happy!" The two of them then offered cheery smiles and waved before running off to prepare the food Ayame had so graciously presented to Shigure when the two saw each other.
Both Akito and Yuki crossed their arms and snorted, refusing to get up from their spots and take their places at the table. Kyo, Shigure, and Ayame were left setting everything up after preparing the delicious meal… or, rather, meals. Ayame had thought of everything. Kyo was sure he counted at least ten different dishes, it was utterly amazing. He wasn't sure how much he'd be able to eat. At some point in time Hatori had returned to his own room. Kyo was sent to fetch him and as time passed… everyone found themselves seated around the table though Yuki and Akito practically had to be picked up and carried there -- the two of them hadn't been planning on leaving their spots in that room.
"I'm not eating that!" Kyo stated rather loudly as he pointed to an enormous amount of leek which Ayame had so wonderfully decided to throw onto his plate. The smell made him want to loose all contents of his stomach right then and there… and the sight of them alone was absolutely hideous. Where was his gas mask?!
"Eat it."
"I will NOT. YOU eat it."
"DAMMIT, KYO. EAT IT."
"MAKE ME! Damn rat."
"Watch your mouth, idiot!"
"WILL YOU TWO JUST SHUT UP!" Shigure roared, stunning the rest at the table with his seriousness. "Ever since Yuki and Akito-san had screwed something up their attitudes have killed everything. This was supposed to be a happy event. Will you two just apologize and get it over with already? I want to eat in peace."
"Gure-san is right," Ayame confessed, "How often do we see each other like this?"
It was a pity that they barely saw each other in such a large group but when they did see each other things always went wrong because someone always screwed up somewhere along the way. It wasn't a desirable thing and the majority of them secretly wished things were different. But what were they going to do about it if no one spoke up…? Were they even a family any more or just people who occasionally met to exchange greetings and gossip before bursting out into fits of fighting and screams filled the air?
Akito sighed and prodded at his charred fish with his pair of chopsticks before glancing up and across the table at Yuki. He then sneered, both brows furrowing in discontent before he turned his head away. "I don't have to apologize to anyone."
"You're just being childish!" Yuki accused from his side of the table, "I can't take it anymore! You're so stubborn! WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?!"
"I LOVE SOMEONE LIKE YOU! THAT'S MY DAMN PROBLEM!" Akito retorted with a hiss. He wasn't going to deal with this right now. It was enough that he felt he was getting sick again and that Ayame and Shigure were within 2000 feet of each other. Now he had to deal with this stubborn boy who thought he ruled the universe!
The room fell silent. The wide-eyed Yuki merely stared at the equally shocked Akito who couldn't believe he'd just said something like that aloud. Ayame and Shigure slid even closer to each other before leaning in towards the two who had just been screaming.
"Wh-what… did you s-say…?" Yuki stammered through partially parted lips, violet hues shaking with tears as his chopsticks were dropped, the two wooden sticks hitting the table before them and then rolling off to the side.
Akito took a deep breath and leaned back a little way, both of his arms falling to his sides and slender fingers raking their nails across the smooth wood surface of the floor. "I-I… said that…" He paused to take another deep breath, his gaze falling to his quickly cooling food before darting back up to Yuki. "I love… you…"
Shigure, Hatori, Ayame, and Kyo all stared in disbelief. Not one of them could believe that Akito would openly admit to such a thing, nor did they think he was even capable of loving. Truly loving. They found themselves speechless.
"Akito…" Within a second after hearing the words he'd wanted to hear for so long, Yuki had jumped to his feet and ran clear around the table only to fall to his knees beside the clan head and pull him into an ever-so-warm embrace. "I love you. Oh, God, I love you so much!" Yuki exclaimed between kisses directed at various places on the stunned and wide-eyed Akito's face.
The older boy could do nothing for a few seconds but wrap his arms around the silver-haired youth but soon he found that his own lips collided ever-so-gently with the rose-petal like tiers of Yuki. This sweet exchange of affection lasted only a few seconds before he hesitantly pulled away to look into the sparkling violet hues of the mouse. The violet hues that seemed to be shedding tears. Akito took on a look of confusement. Had he done something wrong? "Yuki…what…? What's wrong…?"
"N-nothing…" Yuki started before tightening his grip around the other's waist, "…These… are tears of joy…" Something, he was sure, that Akito had never seen before.
*End of this chapter. Dunno when the fourth one will come out.. Probably sometime within the next week or so, but Tohru will be in it. That's for sure. Well, I hope you enjoyed this! I worked hard on it. Kind of… n.n And yeah, yeah, I know.. Not too much going on in the way of writing, but I just lost my descriptive touch for this chapter. P*
