Alright, so I have decided to just dumb all of my Natsume Yujin-cho fanfiction onto the site. I'm usually pretty self-conscious about things (especially my writing), but I figure I might as well post things. I am not going to allow my feelings to be hurt by anything that anyone might say; I enjoy these stories and that's all that really matters to me. The only reason I'm posting things is on the off chance that other people enjoy them too. If you would like to review please feel free. They're mostly lame, pointless, little dabbles, but oh well...

Pairing: Was supposed to be Tanuma/Natsume...

Tanuma knocked on the door of the Fujiwara household and waited for someone to answer.

After a few moments the door opened to reveal Touko, one of Natsume's guardian's.

"Oh, Tanuma-kun, why don't you come in?" She greeted as she stood to the side.

"Thank you."

"Would you like some tea Tanuma-kun?"

Touko asked the black-haired teen as she walked into the kitchen.

"No thank you." He replied politely.

Touko smiled, "Did you just want to go up and see Takashi-kun then?"

Tanuma smiled sheepishly back, "Is he alright?"

"He's still running a slight fever, but I think he could use some company." Touko assured, "Would you mind taking up some soup with you?" She asked as she ladled some of the mentioned liquid into a bowl.

"No at all." Tanuma replied as he took the bowl when she offered it to him.

"Thank you."

Tanuma nodded and then made his way up the stairs and to Natsume's room. He knocked when he reached the door.

"You can come in." Natsume answered form the other side of the door.

"Hey Natsume." Tanuma greeted as he pushed the door open.

"Oh." Natsume blinked once as Tanuma walked in, "What are you doing here Tanuma?"

"I was worried about you." Tanuma replied, scratching the back of his head with his free hand.

"Oh, you didn't have to come all the way over here." Natsume said as he got himself into a sitting position.

"It's no big deal." Tanuma assured as he walked farther into the room, kneeling next to Natsume's futon when he reached it, "I just wanted to stop by and see you."

Natsume sighed and gave a small smile, "Well, thank you."

"Of course." Tanuma replied, "Oh, and Touko-san asked me to bring you some soup." He said as he held out the bowl that he had been given.

"Thanks." Natsume said as he took the offered bowl.

"Of course." Tanuma repeated.

The two fell into a soft silence as Natsume took a few bites of the soup.

"Where's Ponta?" Tanuma asked after a few moments, having finally seemed to notice that the fat, cat-shaped yokai was not in the room.

"Who?"

"The cat." Tanuma clarified.

Natsume blinked, but otherwise ignored the other's nickname for Madara, "I'm not sure."

"He's sure one hell of a body guard." Tanuma stated sarcastically, a slight crease in his brows.

Natsume laughed, "Yeah, I tell him that all the time."

"Well, maybe I should be your body guard." Tanuma suggested with a slight blush.

Natsume blinked at the other boy again, but didn't press, "That's alright, Nyanko-sensei does alright."

Tanuma simply nodded as he looked away from the other, a slight frown on his face and a light dusting of pink still lingering on his cheeks.

Natsume stared at Tanuma for a few moments.

"Tanuma, when I'm feeling better would you like to hang out?"

The mentioned boy immediately perked up at the question, turning to look back at Natsume, "Yeah, I'd really like that."

Natsume smiled back, "Alright that sounds good."

"You better get better fast."

The bed-ridden blond laughed, "I'll get right on that."

The two laughed together and then fell into pleasant conversation, both looking forward to getting to spend more time together.

THE END
