"Tohru-WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!" Kyo was completely caught off guard. Why was she up here? Maybe she knew he'd be up here and…no, there's no way she'd be up here just for him. Tohru just smiled, and blushed at the thought of what she was going to say…if her courage wouldn't leave her the second she opened her mouth, that is.
"Hi Kyo, I was just…umm, getting some fresh air…would you like to sit with me?" She gave a little smile, hoping she didn't sound too forward.
"Er…well, I guess, since I'm up here and everything…" Tohru noticed his voice went soft at the end, and looked up to see him smiling as he sat down next her. She smiled back, and they gazed at each other for just a moment before Tohru noticed what was happening and turned away, blushing. Kyo was surprised. She's embarrassed? What does that mean? Could she possibly...
"Tohru…why are you…embarrassed? I mean, it's just me." He looked down and avoided Tohru's questioning eyes. "Kyo…that's just it! I mean, it's you! I mean…I don't know…Kyo, since…well, you know…um…" She was started to panic as her courage fled, and her heart started to race. He always did this to her, always. She wished she could tell him…
"Er…Tohru? I uh…well, I know it's been…well, really weird since…you know…and I'm sorry I haven't talked…I just…well…He smiled, knowing he wasn't getting anywhere with his talking. Tohru bit her lip. Kyo's hands started to sweat. This is insane, he thought. Why the heck am I up here…this isn't going anywhere…He started to get up when felt a small gentle hand on his arm, stopping him. He froze at her touched, and stopped breathing. She gently pulled him down, and he kneeled in front of her, eyes cast downward. She lifted his chin, and smiling softly at him, took his hand and placed it where her heart was still racing furiously inside. Kyo's eyes grew as big as dinner plates.
"Kyo…do you feel that?"
"Nag..em…uh…" Kyo was speechless. He was touching her.
"That is my heart. Do you feel it beating? Do you know why it's so fast?"
Kyo shook his head, his skin tingling, hanging off her every word.
"My heart beats fast, for…you…Kyo…and only you…I mean…well, you see…"
Kyo closed his eyes. Once again, she said exactly what he wanted to hear, in her own Tohru way. Now it was his turn to speak. He reluctantly lifted his hand off of her chest and touched the side of her cheek, tracing it before gently cupping the soft skin in his hand. He smiled.
"Tohru…you really are hopeless. He smiled, and Tohru gulped, tears forming in her eyes. He shook his head. "But not, as hopeless as I am…when it comes to just being with you." He drew in a deep breath, and fear rattled his heart. What if he got it all wrong…what if this was just a dream...
Tohru closed her eyes, letting a few stray tears fall, and put her hand on top of Kyo's and slowly leant towards his moonlit face...
