This is sort of an AU Kyou is locked up in Akito's home, allowed to see no one and nothing other than his own face. Tohru, her reasons for being Akito's slave are yet unknown, she starts serving breakfast, lunch and tea to Kyou at Akito's request, as a way of teasing him, the two grow close , the rest will be revealed in the story. It starts the first time Kyou is introduced to Tohru, and prequel might be added soon at request. Review if you'd like but i'd appreciate it thankwoo:)
"Excuse me sir? Are you Kyou?" a voice filled the empty room, all he had was a bed and a chest of draws, Master Akito was harsh on him aswell then? Her feet padded soflty along the wooden floor, holding the tray firmly in her shredded hands. Curled up, a bed side lamp was turned on, but nothing else, his body looked stiff, like he'd died there and got a bad case of rigamortis. Smiling brightly, she laid the tray on the bed before placing her hand gently on his body.
"Excuse me, you are Kyou aren't you? Master Akito sent me in with your din--" suddenly he shot up, eyes wide open, his hand grabbed her clothed arm, his grip as tight as a vice. His eyes softened for a moment, before they saw red once again, what had she said?
"Don't you EVER call that monster Master, do you hear me! Don't you ever give Akito the satisfaction of you calling him Master!" he grinded out, his orange hair dull from having not been washed and being locked up. Visibly, his anger was dissapating, being alone had played with his mind. Tohru moved her hand slowly and hesitatingly, stroking his chin and then cheek. The smile hadn't gone from her face, which confused Kyou, making him forget a stranger he had never met before, was stroking his face.
"Master Akito told me to cook your dinner and then bring it to you, but you know Master Akito right? he wanted me to give you stale rice. I love cooking so much, my mom taught me! so i made this meal for you!" her voice was bouncy and happy, almost fooling him into believing Akito hadn't done anything to her at all, but that was impossible. Turning his head to look at the meal, he was surprised, he hadn't eaten anything like this even outside this cage he had been put in. A whole cooked chicken, accompanied by potatoes, carrots, and just about every other vegetable in existance. leeks!
"...I don't like leeks" his voice monotoned, face void of emotion, just staring at the meal in awe. Tohru laughed, nearly falling off the bed altogether, reaching over she picked up the leeks, and rolled them up in a tea towel.
"I had a feeling you didn't like leeks, well i suppose no one does but still" reaching over for the glass of milk she brought with her, she screamed in pain, holding her wrists gently but firm enough to allow the spots of blood to seep threw her white cotton shirt. Whimpering slightly, she couldn't bring her eyes to the undescisive Kyou. Hesitantly he reached out, fingers almost a ghost as they pushed back the sleeves of her top, exposing her badly bandaged bloody arms.
"...Did he do this to you?" the orange haired teen spoke, tone almost sharp and brittleas it graced her ears, she smiled brightly, more genuine than Kyou had ever seen, it had almost made him forget the blood that now coated his fingers as well. Raising her pale pink hand Tohru brushed away his dull hair, exposing his eyes to the light somewhat.
"Yeah...but it doesn't matter anymore right? Before...i was just locked away, being punished by Master Akito, but now! He's put me in charge of your meals and well being, so i thought i could try and make you feel better and distract our minds from the erm...abuse" her smile never wavered, eyes shining brightly towards the man she had met just a couple of minutes ago. Kyou blinked rapidly, her happiness and optomism shocked him based on what he presumed Akito had put her threw, shoving the fork in the potatoe, he ripped it apart in his mouth, closing his eyes assesing the taste of the meal she had cooked him.
"You should be with your family Tohru, im sure they would appreciate your cooking just as much as i am" Kyou dead panned, trying to sound emotionless and distant towards her, realising soon enough, that he had failed when he saw the slight frown on her face. Her eyes cast down, a silent tear slipped down her cheek and onto the wooden floor.
"I don't have any left Kyou-san, but i'd like to think that now...i have you to appreciate my cooking ne?" her cheery nature eating away at his depressive state, even daring to bring a smile to the corner of his lips. Unwrapping her bandages gently, Kyou flipped them over before re-wrapping them firmly in place, tying the ends in a knot so that it wouldn't loosen. Looking into her eyes, he smiled just for her, the way she spoke, the way her face brightened up...made him believe that there was hope for the both of theM.
"I guess i'll be seeing you in the morning...with breakfast?" Kyou inquired gently, ruby eyes innocently proding her for an answer. Tohru smiled, pushing herself up from the ground she stood confidently and walked to the door, resting her weight against it enough to open the shoji screen.
"Ofcourse...7am on the dot! Do you want waking up if your asleep?"
Ruby eyes widened, contemplating her question quickly in his head, he barely came up with the bright smile he was now gracing her with, waving his hand in goodbye.
"Yes...Tohru"
