Chapter 3
Morning Snaps
Hello all you happy people. I have a cold. I don't feel well, but I suddenly had an idea for this story and I couldn't stop writing. This chapter is kinda short, but the next chapter will make up for that.
I do NOT own Fruits Basket, no matter how much I wish I did. If I did, I'd have to actually be able to draw someone as adorable as Kyo and I can't. Story.
Hatori came in the next morning and found Tohru asleep and holding Kyo's hand too. He smiled. He went to get the medicine for Kyo.
Tohru awoke around noon and yawned. She looked at the clock and freaked. "Oh my gosh! It's so late! I overslept! Oh!" here she paused. She looked around, having forgotten where she was and instantly shut up when Kyo moved a bit and groaned as though a wonderful dream was being interrupted.
"Oh.. Right.." and she calmed down. Hatori came in and saw she was awake so he greeted her.
"Good morning, Tohru." he said calmly. "I gave Kyo his antibiotics while you were both asleep. I didn't want to wake you. Yuki informed me on the phone just now that he'll be coming over soon. Here." he handed her a hairbrush.
"Um.." Tohru took it and then realized what he meant. "Oh my hair must look horrible!" and she quickly started to brush her hair. She wasn't big on impressions, but still.. "How does it look now?" She asked Hatori. Before he could answer, someone else chimed in.
"As good as it ever does. -yawn- Do you ever keep it down?" Kyo had woken up. He quickly took his hand from Tohru and rubbed his eye. It was as though what he'd said the night before had never happened. The easy conversation they'd had just seemed to vanish in his red brown eyes this morning.. Actually, this afternoon almost.
"I'm sorry." Tohru apologized. 'I'm... Sorry. For making you worry.' Tohru remembered it clearly. The laughing. She wished he'd laugh more often. It was a nice sound.
Kyo was going to say something but decided against it. He took a deep breath and then exhaled. The oxygen mask fogged up for a second and Tohru absentmindedly stared at it.
"What?" Kyo snapped.
"Oh nothing.." Tohru quickly averted her eyes to the window and blushed.
It was then that Kyo first regretted snapping at her, but he didn't get the full effect till later. When she left.
Yuki came two hours later to walk Tohru home. Before that there had been a long awkward silence. Ky had been about to appologise when Yuki knocked and entered the room.
"Miss Honda? I'm here to pick you up. Oh and.. Shigure says he cant wait for dinner." he added.
"Ok!" Tohru smiled like nothing had happened, got up, said goodbye to Kyo with a wave, and left through the door.
"I... deserve to die." Kyo hit himself in the forehead for his own stupidity.
