Chapter 2
A/N: Hey it is me again. How are you all doing? Seeing as you are now reading this I can assume that you already know that the next chapter of our story. Applause in the background I know, I know. Thank you. Thank you. So yeah I do not own Fruits basket, no matter how sad it is to admit that little fact. So enough of my pointless babble.
On with the fic….
The two somehow, without fighting, managed to get the blanket taped over the broken door. They stood back and admired their work.
Yuki looked over at Kyo to mention that his side wasn't straight, but instead of the words leaving his mouth, laughter burst forth from his mouth, surprising both of them.
"What's so funny, you damn rat?" Kyo asked glaring. His anger started to rise as Yuki continued to laugh at him, harder now.
"Yo-you… have… snow… in your hair," Yuki let out a howl of laughter. "You… look so… old with… white hair."
Kyo was stunned. He shook his head to rid himself of the offending snow. "Well, that is nothing to laugh at. You look old everyday," he retorted. "With that silver/grey mope of hair you call hair."
The violet eyed teen looked to the ground, rejected. "Yo-you think that I look old?" he sniffed, his arms snaking around his legs, trying to keep himself warm and hide the hurt.
Kyo sighed and sat down beside Yuki. 'Damn that was stupid,' he scolded himself. 'You know how touchy he is about his stupid hair.' "No, you don't look old. I was lying because I was upset that you were making fun of me."
Yuki glanced up and violet met red. "I'm sorry. Sorry for making fun of you," Yuki shivered because of the cold. "I didn't mean to offend you."
Kyo stood up forcefully. "You're cold!" he stated rather then asked, walking over to the couch and got the only other blanket that was clean in the house. He walked back and wrapped it around Yuki's lithe form. "You're going to get your bronchial tubes all out of wack again."
"Why do you care?" Yuki asked, pulling the blanket tightly around him.
Shrugging Kyo responded with "I don't know. It's just that Tohru would be upset if you got sick," Deep down though Kyo was asking himself the same question. 'What's up with me caring about him? Even I wouldn't have accepted that bull shit answer that I just gave him.'
Trying to hide his hurt at Kyo's words, Yuki looked away. 'Why am I so hurt that he only cares for Tohru?' he asked himself, then anger took hold and he angrily asked himself. 'Why do I even care?'
Both were lost in their own thoughts and a comfortable silence fell over them both.
Yuki snapped back to reality only when he noticed that Kyo was sitting much closer then necessary to him. He was about to call him on this when an obvious shiver ran through the other teen. "Kyo?" he asked.
Kyo looked over at Yuki. "What?" he hissed, the cold weather turning his attitude stormy, like the weather.
"Come share the blanket with me," he told him holding the blanket open and waiting for Kyo to climb in to it.
Kyo backed away, stunned. "You… you want me to SHARE the blanket with you?" he asked with a mixture of surprise, horror… and was that excitement in his voice.
"Yes, I am," he stated with a forceful look. "Now come here. You are freezing and I won't stand by as you get hypothermia, while I'm staying warm."
Kyo, still not believing what was happening, climbed into the blanket beside Yuki. He was covered and helped Yuki hold it together in the front.
"Are you warm enough?" Yuki asked after a few moments of awkward silence.
Kyo's teeth clattered together. "I'm getting there," he responded, after a few more seconds he whispered a breathless "Thank you, Yuki."
"You're welcome," he whispered back. He noticed that Kyo was still shivering and that his teeth were doing an impression of a percussion band. "Kyo!" he exclaimed worriedly. "You're not getting any warmer at all." He thought for a minute on what to do. Reaching a decision quickly, he grabbed Kyo and pulled the orange haired teen into his lap.
"What?" You DAMN rat! What the hell are you doing?" Kyo demanded, pushing against Yuki's chest, trying desperately to get away. But Yuki only tightened his grip against the squirming figure.
"I'm just trying to keep you warm by sharing my body heat," he stated matter-of-factly. "I don't want to see you die, and this is the only way to keep you warm…" he added mentally. 'At least the only way that doesn't involve… no can't think about those sort of things. No Yuki. Bad Yuki,' he scolded himself, shaking his head trying to dislodge the offending thoughts.
Kyo was silent; he didn't know what to say or how to react. He sighed and decided to rest his head on Yuki's slight shoulder. "Thank you. This is a lot warmer."
Yuki didn't dare move. This was just too comfortable holding Kyo close to him. Kyo just seemed to fit perfectly into his embrace. Slowly a slender hand rose out of the blanket and tangled itself in Kyo's silky orange locks.
Kyo, whose eyes were shut in content, involuntarily leaned into the comforting hand. He was beginning to feel warm all over and he let out a sigh of content; it sounded almost like a purr. He snuggled closer and deeper into his temporary 'pillow', that smelt like lavender. He really enjoyed that smell; it reminded him of a fresh spring garden.
Looking down, Yuki could see that Kyo was starting to fall asleep against him. Yuki carefully moved his hand form the orange hair to Kyo's forehead. He was still cold and Yuki thought that falling asleep was not such a good idea. "Kyo," he whispered, shaking him slightly. "Kyo, come on wake up."
"Don't want to," he muttered sleepily, burying his head once again into Yuki's chest. "Am comfy here."
Yuki chuckled. He took a deep breath and leaned down, so his nose was almost touching Kyo's. "Wake up CAT!" he yelled loudly in his face.
Kyo jumped straight up in the air, startled. "What the hell was that for?" he yelled at Yuki. Fury rising in his face, turning a shade of red.
"Calm down, Kyo," Yuki told him heatedly. "You were starting to fall asleep."
"Yeah! So? Sleep is good for you," Kyo snapped irritable.
"You're still much too cold. If you fall asleep now, you could slip into unconsciousness," he worriedly told the other teen.
"Yo-you were… concerned… for my well being? Why?" he asked with raised eyebrows.
Yuki looked away, flushed. He didn't respond and Kyo pressed him yet again. Once more silence followed the question.
Kyo exploded. "Dammit, you pathetic rat. Why can't you just answer my question? Is it really that hard to answer why you were concerned for me…"
Kyo would have continued his rant if Yuki had not stopped him… by pressing his lips to Kyo's. Yuki pulled back with a slight blush. He saw Kyo's shocked expression and almost burst out laughing, instead he simply stated. "Just shut up already! I'm worried about your wellbeing because you you're important to me. Stupid cat."
Kyo blinked, trying to digest what had just happened. He blinked again, his red eyes locking with Yuki's violets. "Why?" he asked. "Why am I important to you?" he looked away. "I'm just an evil spirit."
Yuki's hand reached under Kyo's chin and lifted his gaze to him. "You are much more then just an evil spirit. You are… you are absolutely beautiful. You have a wonderful personality, though it does piss me off at times. You… you make me feel complete," A blush spread up his face and down his neck.
Kyo also blushed, his eyes and face becoming the same colour. He stuttered out his next sentence. "Yo-you make me feel complete too, Yuki. I… like you… a lot." He leaned in and gently kissed Yuki's lips. "Are you going to stop worrying about me, now?"
A feral grin spread over Yuki's features. "Not until I've heated you up. You are still far too cold, for my liking." His lips once again captured his lips, but instead of a sweet, chaste kiss, this one was forceful and domineering. He opened his mouth and pushed his tongue through Kyo's soft lips. A moan echoed in the back of his throat as his tongue made contact with the other appendage.
Kyo bit back his own moan. He fought with Yuki's tongue for dominance. Much to Kyo's surprise, Yuki backed down and allowed him to take control of the kiss and he eased his tongue in and explored every corner and crevasse. Eventually, it was with regret that Kyo moved back, gasping for air.
Yuki gulped the air with a smile plastered on his face. "Kyo, you look like you are getting a little warmer now. But should I get you hot, so that you don't fall victim to hypothermia?" he asked with an innocent grin.
Kyo giggled (yes he actually giggled) and pulled Yuki towards him again. "Being hot sure is better then being dead," he stated before kissing Yuki again. This time not only his lips but his hands also got in on the game. They ran themselves through Yuki's silver hair and down his back and came to a stop at his hips, not sure if they were allowed to touch the lopes just below.
