~Yuki x Kyou, I don't own Fruits Basket...
thank you lots and lots to everyone that reviewed ~ I never expected to get so many reviews! Wow I was soo suprised~ and really really happy! You guys are all way too nice ^_^ luv u all!
um, there's a spoiler in this chapter (sorry... but, it's really little and if you don't know it you might not notice it's there anyway) so if you haven't seen the 4th DVD (don't remember which episode T_T) or read book 6 of the manga, you might not want to read this. Also, sorry, I may have made Yuki a little too critical of himself... but, I don't know, he just seems like the really self-conscious type to me.
I know it took me a really long time to update... sorry, I'll try to update faster next time ^_^
Chapter 5
Confessions
"uh, Yuki..." Kyou started. He wanted to ask, to make sure Yuki really did care about *him*; he thought so, and he hoped so, but he couldn't be sure... not unless he asked. After all, physical contact wasn't a normal thing for members of the jyuunishi. What if it was just a response to human contact? Kyou himself knew how much it hurt to be unable to embrace others. Then, another thought crossed his mind. Was Yuki even gay? He wanted to ask so many things, but first, he had to tell Yuki how he felt about him. If he didn't, his questions might scare Yuki away; that was the last thing he wanted...
Yuki, startled at hearing Kyou's voice, realized what he was doing and started apologizing, completely forgetting he was still sitting in Kyou's lap. "I'm sorry, I don't know what came over me, um," he couldn't finish his sentence, of course. There was no plausible reason for what he did other than the truth. And he wasn't about to tell Kyou *that*. But, if he didn't, would anything ever happen? Or would Yuki spend the rest of his life weighed down by unrequited love? Maybe he should tell him. Realizing where he was, he quickly moved off of Kyou, who sitting near the edge of the bed, with his back against Yuki's pillow. Apologizing again, and blushing more than he would have liked, Yuki moved so that he was leaning against the wall, sitting perpendicular to Kyou. Lost in his thoughts, he tried to decide which was worse: rejection, or never expressing his feelings. 'He held me...' The way he had felt when he had been in Kyou's arms, Yuki decided, was the nicest feeling he had ever experienced ; he had felt safe, and warm, and cared for...Actually, just being with Kyou lately made him feel that way. He had to tell Kyou. 'It's not like petting Kyou's head is any less weird than telling him I love him...' Also, he reasoned, Kyou was an extreme kind of person; he would either freak out or feel the same way. Everything was black or white to Kyou, he didn't want to see the shades of gray in between. There was no way he'd hesitate, he'd surely give a definite answer, even if he didn't do so with words. 'Just knowing how Kyou feels will be enough,' Yuki tried to convince himself, still uncertain despite his efforts. 'Okay, here goes.' "Kyou, I think I've... fallen for you..." 'Please don't hate me for it,' he added, silently.
Kyou's eyes went wide; Yuki started to panic. His thoughts all ran together, streaming through his mind, too fast for him to keep track of them all. 'How could I have thought he cared about me, he loves Tohru, he was only trying to cheer me up, he's not gay, he's definitely going to hate me now, how could I have been so stupid!...' What would Kyou think of him now? He turned his head away so that Kyou wouldn't see how much it hurt. He didn't want more sympathy. He wasn't a child that needed to be cared for; he wasn't the prince everyone in school made him out to be. He wouldn't break if he was treated like a normal person... even if it hurt, much more than anything ever had before.
Catching a glimpse of Yuki's look of dismay, before Yuki turned his head, Kyou realized Yuki had taken his shock the wrong way. Not that he could blame him. He had just been too surprised to answer right away. He was shocked that someone as beautiful as Yuki could love him, when he was so brash, always starting fights... and, without his bracelet, Kyou was a monster... "Yuki, you don't understand! I, I love you...probably more than you'll believe..." It was Yuki's turn to be shocked. Was Kyou only making fun of him? No, he wasn't cruel... Yuki was so relieved... and, although he was surprised, his eyes didn't widen until he Kyou leaned over Yuki, covering him with his torso, and pressed his warm lips to the other boy's. It was a very chaste kiss, but it meant more to Yuki than anything else could have at that moment. Yuki wanted it to last forever, but, of course, the kiss ended; when it did, he heard Kyou mumble something; it sounded like, "Arigatou." But what could Kyou be thanking *him* for? He should be thanking Kyou, Yuki thought; after all, even if he wasn't good at expressing emotion, Kyou had such a kind heart, he was gorgeous, perfect... he was so popular with their classmates, Tohru cared so much about him; and, yet, Kyou loved *Yuki*! Not anyone else. 'Probably more than you'll believe...', Kyou had said. Apparently, when he had said that, Kyou hadn't realized just how hard Yuki had fallen for him. He felt like he wanted to spend every minute of every day with Kyou until he died. But even that couldn't possibly be long enough. Someone honestly, truly cared about him for who he was, and that person just happened to be all of his dreams rolled into one person; flawless, in his eyes at least. And the fact that Kyou didn't quite realize how wonderful he was made him even cuter. 'He's so modest, thanking me, of all people...' "No... thank *you*,"Yuki said before leaning up, and kissing Kyou again. Caught up in other, more interesting things, neither of them noticed the door cracking open, just enough for the person on the other side to see them...
