Happy Days
Chapter II
Tohru jumped out from the bathroom grinning, having successfully risen and washed and dressed and was now on her way down to make breakfast. Why? Because today is going to be a--
"Happy day!" yay! "good morning Sohma-kun!" Tohru exclaimed her greeting at the boy emerging zombie-like from his room. Twirling back round she inadvertently tripped on a floorboard and fell flat on her face.
"No, today is a happy day!" the girl yelled at the floor. Jumping up she pulled Yuki's drooping mouth into a pained smile. "Today is a happy day! Everyone has to be happy!" She skipped off down the corridor and consequently dropped down the stairs like a brick. Yuki stood for a moment before realisation kicked in.
"Honda-san!" he exclaimed in a delayed fashion. Arriving at the top of the stairs, he peered down at the mass of people lying tangled on the floor below.
"Oh Kyo-kun! I'm so sorry, how clumsy of me!"
Yuki watched the girl jump up, noticing that both she and the cat were blushing furiously.
"It's ok." Kyo mumbled, brushing himself off. Yuki was shocked to hear no anger in Kyo's voice. A silence followed where Kyo and Tohru stood blushing, they both looked to the floor.
"Tohru? Um, I like…er…your slippers…" Kyo grimaced.
You idiot…
"Oh…um…thank you, Kyo-kun." She smiled. Their eyes met and they immediately looked away blushing, triggering another awkward silence.
"Uh, breakfast!" tried Tohru as Kyo replied, a little too quickly.
"Breakfast! Yes- "
"I'll go make it- "
"I'll come too- "
"No, it's alright I'll manage." Tohru and Kyo stood awkwardly for a second, before she rushed off.
Yuki stood at the top of the stairs.
"Ok, I'm going to pretend I didn't hear any of that…"
He started to move along the corridor – he'd made a subconscious decision to stop when he heard a thud. Peering curiously back round the corner he witnessed the cat banging his head repeatedly off the wall, muttering what sounded to be 'stupid…stupid…stupid…' to the rat. Yuki sighed, feeling vaguely relieved that he wasn't the only one with problems in his love life. He closed his eyes as a dull throb began aching at the back of his head, he headed off to shower himself awake.
This is going to be a long day…
Downstairs Tohru was standing the kitchen. She was pounding her temples muttering 'happy day' under her breath. When she turned and walked into Ayame, emerging from the kitchen.
"Good morning, Ayame-san!" Tohru greeted the snake joyfully. In reply the snake muttered something inaudible.
"Pardon?"
The snake ignored her again and collapsed at the table in a very uncharacteristic, quiet manner. Tohru's eyes skimmed the other occupants of the room; Shigure sat at a fragmented table, stubbornly picking at his breakfast with a chopstick; Kyo sat on the floor with a cup of tea, in the exit Haru had created the night before; and Haru? Well…
"Where do you want this?"
The bull stood near the actual backdoor, addressing Shigure with a side of the table balanced precariously on one shoulder. Shigure glared.
"You broke my house! You better have a good explanation!" Shigure semi-slurred.
"And what if I don't?" Haru's darker personality retorted, taking over.
"IF YOU DON'T YOU'LL Have to ans…" Shigure lay his head on the table and stopped talking.
Meanwhile, Yuki had just descended the stairs and was heading for the kitchen. He shifted his shoulders uncomfortably under wet cloth – only moments ago he had awoken himself by sticking his head under an icy shower. Now however, although wide awake, he was also half soaked.
Right that's it!
Yuki started tugging at his sleeves. His left hand disappeared into his top, and he began to pull at his collar – still walking. He turned into the dining room, not needing to see where the door was. He paused and pulled the shirt over his head, shaking his head to flick out dripping silver hair.
Haru's eyes blinked away from Shigure's defeated form, instead finding a new figure to fixate upon. Time slowed to a heavenly pace as Yuki tossed his head, fine mercury hair flicking to send glistening droplets of water flying, gems running down his pale chest. The prince opened his crystalline violet eyes, locking with Haru's in a single moment.
And that's when it all went wrong.
What'd'ya think? We'll update v v soon, promise! Well, when we get a certain amount of reviews…
Nezumi: by which we mean 'when neko can be bothered to type it up'. Well, that's it, bye!
