Author's Note: I'm going to work on my fic Chapstick, Chapped Lips, and Things Like Chemistry ASAP so no worries! This one just popped into my head so suddenly today when I was thinking of all the things I'm thankful for and I had to write it before it drove me crazy. So here's to some fluffy Yaoi goodness for my favorite pairing from Fruits Basket. Enjoy.
My World
Peering slowly around the thin paper door, a smile graces my features as I watch tangerine-colored hair fall across your eyes. Your eyelids are heavy with sleep and your head droops slightly forward. It's a natural reaction, of course, considering the fact that you've been up for almost 23 hours with no rest and no breaks from your tedious assignments. It's currently 4 in the morning and you've just put down your pen and closed your book.
I walk slowly across the room to you and start to put all of your school books away into their proper places before taking a seat beside you. I curl up against your side and take your tan hand into my own pale one. Feeling your breath against my neck as you rest your head on my shoulder, I involuntarily shudder. It feels so good to just sit here with you, warm and cozy on your soft bed. You murmur something and I know that you're still awake, but it wouldn't matter if you weren't.
"Kyo, do you know what today is?"
You look up at me with sleep-filled vermillion eyes, and grunt in response. "Nnn...Wednesday?"
"No, silly. Yesterday was Wednesday. It's now a little past 4 on Thursday. But that's not what matters." I pull you to sit between my legs, reclining against my chest as I rest against your headboard. "Today's Thanksgiving."
"What's that? I don't really remember hearing about it."
"It's an American holiday celebrating the things that one is thankful for. I don't really have a lot to be thankful for, and I know that you're probably not catching most of this, being so tired and all, but I am thankful for something. I'm thankful for you.
"You've shown me that I can be loved for who I am and that I am loved. I love you so much, and I never want to lose you. I don't know what I'd do without you. I can't say that you mean the world to me, because you're so much more. You are my world." With that, I lean down and kiss your soft lips as you sleep soundly in my arms. But I'm not upset that you slept through all of it because I know that you know all of this already.
"Happy Thanksgiving, Kyo."
