Anyway, thanks to all the lovely people who reviewed, added me to their favourites and just plain old read my story. I'm glad so many people like it. Really. Oh, and I've basically figured out the ending. It's really sweet!
This chapter's too short and kinda sucks. --' Sorry! This story's getting to the fun part though. Yay!

Chapter 4
Yuki snuggled closer into Haru to try and find the warmth his slender body so badly wanted. Haru barely noticed, he was still in happy land because he and Yuki had just had a date. What's more, Yuki seemed to have enjoyed it. Chibi White was so happy he couldn't stop dancing! Chibi Black had wondered off, frustrated. Probably because Haru and Yuki had been at the back of a near-empty cinema in the dark for 2 hours and they hadn't done anything Black had wanted them to. Of course, Yuki was oblivious to what Black had wanted them to do, Haru was pretty sure Yuki didn't want to know, either.
The date had been pretty average, Haru had dragged Yuki to a cinema and they'd picked a relatively good comedy with a cliché plot, they'd then gone to a random café for lunch. Yuki had shyly ordered just a drink, so Haru had fed him half of his shougayaki. Then they'd gone shopping for a few hours. OK, more then a few, it was nearly dark now.
"D'you reckon Honda-san will be worried about us?" asked Yuki. Haru wondered why his voice was so quiet, it was then he realised Yuki had basically buried his head in the younger teen's arm.
"Probably… What's with the constant head-burying?"
Yuki blushed and muttered something about being cold. Haru blinked.
"You're…cold?" He asked.
"Yes, that is what I said…" replied Yuki.
Haru stopped walking and turned Yuki to face him. Yuki's face was even more pale then usual and his nose, cheeks and ears were flushed from the cold. Haru took off his coat and handed it to Yuki. Yuki put it on with a shy thanks and the two continued their journey home.
"Aren't you cold, Haru?" asked Yuki after a while.
"Nn, a little…"
"You shouldn't have given your coat, you're always too nice to me,"
"It doesn't matter, we're almost home, right?"
"Yes. And technically it's not your house…"
"I'm staying the night. If we're close then it doesn't matter if I'm cold."
Yuki sighed. Haru's logic just confused him.
"So you're saying that even if you freeze, it doesn't matter because we're almost home…?"
Haru didn't answer, he'd zoned out again. Yuki held Haru's wrist to make sure the spaced-out boy didn't get lost. He looked at the younger teen next to him, he was still spaced-out, and maybe he'd be off with the pixies until they got home… That would be good, Yuki thought, it would give him time to think without distraction. He needed to think, about Kyo and about Haru.
He was so close to Haru, sometimes it could be hard to distinguish the line between love between best friends and being in love. But then… Yuki's feeling for Kyo, they needed a little more reasoning in Yuki's confused mind. He couldn't even compare the feelings to anything else. It was confusing to the teen, could hate so easily turn to love? And… what kind of love did he feel for Kyo?
The two boys reached Shigure's before Yuki could ponder this more, so he was left slightly confused.
Haru asked Shigure where Kyo was; Shigure told him Kyo was washing up in the kitchen with Tohru.
Suddenly, Yuki remembered the jealousy on Kyo's face when Haru had dragged him off. That thought made him smile slightly, Kyo was so cute jealous. Haru caught Yuki's smile after he mentioned Kyo and sighed inwardly. It was almost definite; Yuki probably was in love with Kyo. Haru would be happy for the boy, if it wasn't for the fact that Kyo would probably cause a lot more pain for Yuki. But, he couldn't deny that they looked cute together… Black's inner Chibi took this moment to wonder back and mutter something about threesomes. Chibi White pulled an "Eww, gross!" face and pulled out a ukulele.
-----
Kyo… was… bored…
He was meant to be helping Tohru wash up, but he was too bored. He had tried to help, honestly he had! He'd just ended up whining like a small child. When Tohru asked what was up he hadn't answered, which made the girl worried Kyo was dying from some illness that only existed on a small island off the south coast of Africa. That obviously wasn't true… Kyo wasn't dying. He hadn't answered because he didn't know why he felt so bored… he only knew that he had felt restless ever since Yuki and Haru had left.
From the sound of it, they'd just come back. Great! Maybe they could ease his boredom… No wait, that sounded really bad! Kyo blushed, what was he thinking?
The door opened slowly, and the ever-calm Hatsuharu entered.
"'Lo," He greeted.
Yuki entered behind him. "What is that, greeting of the day?" he asked.
"Probably…"
Haru chose to stand near Kyo. Yuki followed him and rested his head tiredly in Haru's shoulder. Great, Kyo sarcastically thought to himself, looks like they've had a good time together.
"Shouldn't you be getting back, stupid cow?" He asked angrily, trying to mask his disappointment not being the one Yuki was leaning on.
"Nope, staying the night..."
"Oh crap," Kyo muttered.
Yuki frowned at him. "It's not like you'll see him, he's staying in my room,"
Kyo growled at him. "And what? Are you gunna have sex?" he yelled.
"No! Why'd you always have to be so vulgar?" Yuki was shouting, Kyo hadn't seen him this wound up over one comment since… ever.
"You're not? Aww, I should've known… because nobody but Akito loves you!"
"And everybody loves you! Don't you get it!" Screamed Yuki. He turned, and walked out of the room.
"What…?" muttered Kyo, slightly stunned. Yuki never got that wound up.
"You don't know? You really are a stupid cat…" said Haru. But it was said with no scorn, just… pity.
Kyo swore he had never been so confused in his life.
That took me SO LONG to write! Grr… Hope it was an ok chapter, despite it's size. I hope the argument didn't suck too bad.
Review if you can!
