Kyo could feel his heart stop, and he wasn't breathing. He managed to choke out...
"What...what did you say?"
"I said I love you Kyo" she looked at him "You're my family, and I care about you."
'Oh. She really doesn't love me'
"Oh! I left dinner on the stove!"
And with that, she ran out.
Tohru couldn't breath.
'I told him' she thought 'but I really didn't, I told him that I loved him like family, and that's true, but I love him more than that. Oh mom, what should I do?'
She could hear her mom saying 'Just be yourself, and you'll be fine!'
"Mom what would you do?" She said aloud
Tohru remembered that her mom told her that she loved her at least twice a day. And she always tried to be like her mother. "I'll do it!" she said, "I'll tell him..."
"Tell who what?" Kyo asked coming into the kitchen.
"Oh Kyo, I didn't see you standing there!"
"Well is dinner ready or not?"
Tohru went over to get the dishes, but Kyo grabbed her hand before she got to them.
'His grip is firm yet gentle 'Tohru thought ' Surely he can hear my heart!'
'What am I doing!?!' Kyo was yelling at himself. She isn't pulling away though, she looks so cute, her eyes are so kind...'
"Yes" Tohru interrupted his thoughts "Is there something you wanted Kyo?"
"Yes there is something I want" He pulled her close to him, and rubbed her cheek, then he whispered those three little words, Tohru's eyes got big when he said...
"I want milk"
