Sorry it's taken so effing long for this to happen. It's ridiculous. I have no excuse.
I do not own any Fruist Basket characters or scenarios, unless this is dream world.
The first thing he began to regulate was his breathing, turning up the corners of his mouth a bit, in hopes it might help. Narrowly avoiding Saki's curious eyes Megumi addressed Tohru, "Ah Tohru-chan I hope we have not delayed the fun too much."
"Nononono. We were waiting for Momiji as well and now we're all here..." she tucked her hand behind her head and gave a timid giggle. "Mom always said that good people are happier together!"
Saki smiled privately as a soft silence fell across the group like snow in the early spring.
Kisa's eyes began to well a tinsey bit, their glint drawing Megumi's attention. He became encapsulated, distracted from all else and could only stare helplessly: The pure and honest empathy within that girl's heart, conveyed perfectly through the glimmer of those tear-filled eyes.
"Eh. Are we going to watch this show or loiter in the hallway like bad art in ugly frames?" A sneer cracked the silence, and melted unfittingly inside a narrow juvenile voice.
"Ah!" Tohru exclaimed, "you are right." she said in a ineffective military manner. "I'll go make the tea and you can all start without me." She bowed and quickly ducked into the kitchen.
Hiro had to suppress the smirk that threatened to cross his face and instead rolled his eyes to the ceiling and mumbled with audible exasperation, "As if the anime were able to wait for her…"
During the time it took Hiro to interrupt and enjoy the sound of his own voice Megumi had began to exercise his well practiced observational skills. He noticed the way Kisa flinched ever so slightly as the conspicuously rude houseguest spoke about her 'One-chan.' He watched his careless body language (one had in a pocket and the other hanging lazy) and precisely calculated expressions. Megumi could tell that he meant to look carefree.
Momiji popped past the other three and headed toward the kitchen, "I've seen this one," he beamed brightly, "so I'll go help Tohru-chan in the kitchen!"
A sigh came from Hiro's direction, "If he's seen it already why did he have to come."
Kisa's face did something that made Megumi's insides prickle. She smiled. "Like Mom says, 'Good people are happier together.'" She gave the hint of a giggle and shut her eyes in happiness and turned to the sitting room, as she marched off you could hear a faint chant of "Mo-ge-ta, Mo-ge-ta."
Megumi looked away from both the rude boy and Hanajima, pretending to check his shoes. He knew he was blushing.
