Chapter 9
Pairings Yuki Kyo
Disclaimer: Natsuki Takaya owns the all mighty title and all its rights to "Fruits Basket" I am merely awed by her idea so don't sue me…you wouldn't get much anyways.
Okay today I have another chapter. clap, clap Well I'm constructing a mini set in drama for the play "No Exit", which I recommend. It's about Hell, but instead of fire and demons it's a single room painted completely white which you are stuck in for all of eternity, there are also two other people with you…that you can't stand. Mental Hell, let the fun begin. Well I have started writing this chapter so soon because my mommy hasn't been happy with me so I retreat to the computer. Sigh (That doesn't mean you got it much sooner, sorry) such is my life…

"Damn school! It should just die!" Kyo threw his bag in the corner, peeled off his shirt and snuggled under his covers. mumbling "Damn school, stupid sympathy looks, maybe I should just tell all those girls I'm gay. That would shut them up fast. Hmph…I would too…but Yuki."
"Did I hear my name?" The rat removed his shoes then Kyo's since his feet were hanging off the side of the bed. He then crawled next to his lover and brushed some firey tresses from his tan face.
"Yeah…I was just talking to myself." Yuki drew his hand away and laid his head on it.
"About what?"
"About you, us…school, just everyday things." Kyo pulled Yuki closer to himself and gave him a chaste kiss, when it was over he let his lips linger, too lazy to move away.
"So what do you think I won't do?" Kyo sighed against petal-like lips and started stroking Yuki's lower back. The rat smiled and nuzzled against his kittens neck. "Don't change the subject." Kyo just continued what he was doing; trying to stall even though he knew Yuki was on to him.
"I was just…these girls are getting on my nerves with all of these 'I'm sorry you got shot' gifts. I was thinking maybe we could…"
Come out? Is that what you want Kyo…I don't know if I can…or if I could've. Maybe now, after seeing how easily he could have just left me…maybe I need to make the most of our time together.
Kyo was still rambling about it, trying to find the right words so he wouldn't make his lover upset but still be blunt. It was not an easy thing to do, and being the way Kyo is with words and talking about emotions, it was even worse. His lips were moving franticly and despite the fact that Yuki enjoyed the friction it created against his own lips he pulled away.
"Kyo," The neko took a minute but stopped speaking nonetheless. "Kyo I think I could come out with…us…but I want you to promise me something." The cat sat up and pulled Yuki into his lap, facing him, and stroked the sides of his face.
"Anything Yuki-koi." The rat tucked his nose into the crook of his kittens' neck.
"When we do…come out…you have to-you have to do something I was too afraid to do. You have to kiss me in front of everyone, and hold my hand…I just don't want you to be shy, if we have to tell then we have to be comfortable." Little did Yuki know that doing all those things in public was exactly what Kyo had wanted.
There position had shifted; Kyo was lying back on the bed, Yuki's head on his chest and upper body just below, Yuki's feet dangling off of Kyo's and the bed. The pulsing beat of Kyo's heart and the steady flow of his breathing put the rat in a state of calm. They were going to tell everyone, and not a single breath or heartbeat of any one person or any number of persons would stop them from proclaiming their love happily.

"In Christianity, Heaven and Hell are heavy words, not to be taken lightly. God is an even more powerful one. Plural, no demi-gods or anything like that. Just angels, demons, good, evil, but just like other religions there are pennants, just like Hindu's Buddhists, and any other religions that may be shared in this room.
God is someone powerful, a name that will never die in…" The teacher continued on with her dull speech but Kyo let his mind wander at the mention of God.
God…a name that will never die, she has no idea how right she is. Yuki's never going to forget, neither am I. Akito out us through Hell and we weren't even dead…the only sins we ever…Yuki…
Kyo noticed his lover fidgeting in his seat. Presumably thinking about 'God' as well, it was not a comfortable subject for the slight mouse teen. Kyo reached his hand out to hold tight to Yuki's, which was trembling, in his lap. The nezumi smiled and mouthed 'I love you' before returning his eyes and ears to the lecture and professor. His thumb Kyo's brushed across the top of his lover's hand over and over, stroking it, just as a sign that he was there.
Soon enough class was over and some other students were waiting by the door for Yuki and Kyo. At the door stood Tsubaki, Tohma, Rena, and Asato, their new friends. Tsubaki and Asato were philosophy students, Tohma wanted to be a doctor and Rena was trying to master computer graphics.
As the lovers stepped down off the last of the bleacher-like aisles of the classroom seats they made their way slowly over to their friends. First they OC'S noticed that Yuki and Kyo were holding hands, and the shorter, paler of the two was smiling, that just did not happen very often. Everyone else had filed out, teacher included so the six of them were alone. Kyo took his opportunity and kissed an off-guard rat. When they realized Yuki wasn't resisting but in fact battling for dominance Tsubaki, Tohma, Rena, and Asato began to clap, one at first then the rest followed.
Kyo broke the kiss, pulling Yuki's bottom lip with him at first, but eventually released it and looked towards his friends. They had both agreed to ease into the 'coming out' ordeal, friends and family (that didn't already know) first. Tsubaki was the first to speak out.
"I told you guys! Asato you owe me 300 yen! They are in love! No doubt about it after a kiss like that." Her friends nodded in agreement and Asato handed her the 300 yen. Yuki smiled once more and refused to let it fade.
They accept us.

Yuki sat up late that night, stroking his lovers hair as the cat's nose nestled further into Yuki's lap. He starred at the door thinking over the day. With each breath that blew against his lap he was reminded of Kyo's devotion. With each heartbeat against his leg he was reminded of Kyo's strength. It was something he never wanted to forget, unlike so many other things that happened in his life this was good. Even though there was pain to come and pain in the past it was okay. Everything would work out all right in the end, even if it didn't seem that way, it would.
I love you with all my heart, with every breath, for now and forever. Kyo…Fb-fb-fb-fb-fb-fb-fb-fb-fb-fb
