A Basket of Drabbles

An anthology of super-short Furuba stories I've written over the years. Mostly humorous. Today's story: The student council makes birthday plans.

109. Someone's in the Kitchen with Tohru

"Tohru-kun, what time will we be having dinner?"

From the kitchen, she answered. "Ah, Shigure-san, I'm afraid dinner will be delayed tonight."

"That's fine, but can you tell me how long?"

"Well, I can't start cooking until Kyo-kun stops hugging me. Um, Kyo-kun, how long do you plan on hugging me for?"

Kyo spoke quietly to Tohru.

"Huh? That long? But sooner or later, I have to start cooking, and… ah. Oh. OH. Mmm. That feels nice."

"Tohru-kun?"

"Ah, Shigure-san, I regret to say that... (Kyo-kun, stop, that tickles) ...dinnertime tonight will be at least two… no, three hours late."
