((A/N: I'd like to take a moment to apologise to BakaDen for spelling the title of their story wrong in the last chapter.. I'm so sorry! I just noticed that it was Paint My Fortune and not Paint My Future right after my second chapter was put up.. Once again, I'm sorry! This chapter is my apology gift to you.
I Do Not Own Fruits Basket OR "Iris" By The Goo Goo Dolls!.. What a shame..
Anyway, review replies to everyone who reviewed:
bakaden: Are you by any chance the same BakaDen I was just apologising to? If so, thank you for reviewing so much! It makes me feel very very special. I'm glad Haru was in character.. I'm very sad to say, but I'm new to the series as well. I was kinda nervous when writing about Haru. You should try at it though. It was easier for me than I thought it'd be.. And I'm not even really a writer. Just a random person who just happened to have a dream of being a poet. But thanks for reviewing! Especially on both of my Fruits Basket fictions!
So here's chapter three!))
((Kyo's POV))
And I'd give up forever to touch you.
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow.
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be.
And I don't want to go home right now.
We just sat in silence, caught in the warm embrace that was meant to heal my wounds. It had, in a way, healed them, but what they did left unhealable wounds. Or at least scars. I was lost in the moment, Haru's scent surrounded me. Trapping me in it's web of peace. His warmth hiding me from the cold world that threatened to break me. I listened to the pitter patter of rain on my window. It was the only noise I could hear besides Haru's light breaths. I felt content for the first time in my life. This moment seemed as if it were just a dream. Like I'd wake up moments later to the screech of the alarm clock. Forced to face the day and the people who wished I'd disappear. I hoped this was no dream. If it turned out to be, I promised myself that I'd never wake up.
And all I can taste is this moment.
And all I can breathe is your life.
And sooner or later, it's over.
I just don't want to miss you tonight.
I felt myself slowly giving in to the warmth of his body. I could feel myself falling into a comfortable slumber. If I could sleep, this was no dream. This was real. I smiled into his shoulder and closed my eyes. I didn't think I dream of anything better than this.
I was running. Just running. I didn't know where I was going or why I was even running. It was pouring rain and I could feel my strength slowly slipping away. I didn't know where I was. Why hadn't I ever seen this place before? Why was I lost? I tried to stop, but my legs wouldn't cease their movement. I was cold, tired, and hungry, but I continued to run as though my energy lasted forever. I passed a park which was filled with cheerful, laughing people. It wasn't raining over there. I felt myself stop. I toward the park, hoping to escape the rain, but as I got close all the people began to glare at me. I had one more step before I was in the sunlight, but something stopped me. It was a hard, cold, clear material. It was a large barrier of glass separating me from the sunlight. Keeping me from all the happy, normal people who looked at me with disgust. They all began to laugh at me. I fell to the ground, clutching my head and closing my eyes. Attempting to shut out their laughter. Then I heard it. A voice - his voice, calling my name. "Kyo.. Wake up." It said. I opened my eyes. I was laying on my bed with him beside me. It was all just a dream. The same dream I'd been having for two weeks.
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand.
When everything's made to be broken,
I just want you to know who I am.
((Haru's POV))
He'd been struggling in my arms. His face held a look of sorrow. The same look a wanted to erase permanently from his face. I shook him lightly and whispered," Kyo.. Wake up." He stopped struggling and slowly opened his eyes. He blinked a couple of times, looking like the confused cat he was. He grinned at that. He looked up at me. "What's so funny?" He asked. I just stared at him as my grin turned into a small smile. He glared at me. "Fine.. Be that way." He pouted. "Curiousity killed the cat." I stated simply. He continued to glare at me. I knew there was another part of the saying, but I couldn't quite remember it. Something about bring the cat back. I glanced at him a he stopped sending death glares my way. A light blush crept onto his cheeks. I smiled and wrapped an arm around him. His blush darkened.
And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming.
Or the moment of truth in your lies.
When everything feels like the movies.
Yeah, you bleed just to know you're alive.
I suddenly remembered a cat commercial I'd seen when watching TV with Momiji. I remembered hearing the cat purr and Momiji asking me if Kyo purred. I guessed that this was my moment to find out. Should I ask him or should I see for myself? Asking would be a lot easier, but I'd probably offend him. So I settled for finding out myself. I grinned slyly and he gave me a confused look. I began to move closer to him as a dark red blush made it's way onto his face. I didn't know what I was about to do, but whatever it was, it was getting me excited. I leaned in and our lips were only inches apart. I looked deep into his crimson eyes. They matched his blush again. I was caught in the deep pools of crimson that set him apart from everyone else. They weren't at all common, which was what made them so beautiful. I could feel my lips brush aginst his which brought me back to reality. I leaned in closer, kissing him as if he actually would kiss back. As if he'd actually love me back.
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand.
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am.
((Kyo's POV))
One moment I was sending him death glares, the next he was kissing me. This was the oddest day I'd ever had. Of course, I kissed him back. I'd have to be pretty stupid to turn down a kiss so warm, so gentle, so.. Loving?.. Did he actually care? Was he actually.. In love with me? My thoughts were interupted by a vibration in my throat. 'Oh great, here it comes.' I thought the moment before the purr was heard. I expected him to laugh, but he only grinned into the kiss. He finally broke for air, but I continued to purr. Stupid cat habits.
And I don't want the world to see me.
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand.
"Haru.." I whispered, but was silenced by his finger touching my lips. "Shh.." Was all he said ((A/N: said, would it be?)) "I need to tell you something." He whispered."I've been keeping this secret for a long time now,but.." He paused."But.. I love you." As he finished I swore I could see a light blush creep onto his face. Hi smiled. I knew it. "I..I love you too." I whispered. I knew I felt my cheeks burning. He kissed me gently on the lips. This was the happiest I'd felt in my entire life. Now if only I could stop purring.. Then everything would be perfect.
When everything's made to be broken,
I just wan't you to know who I am.
((A/N: Another chapter finished! I'm afraid I'm moving either a little too fasr or a little too slow with their relationship.. Please tell me if I am and I'll slow down.
Anyway, next chapter will be to a song that I have one night to find the name of. I promise that they'll finally leave Kyo's room next chapter. I'm sorry, but this won't be a lemon. I'm afraid that my dad, being the freaky stalker he is, will somehow end up reading all of my stories..
That's all I needed to say.. So Please Review and tell me what you thought!))
