Tohru walked into the Sohma house as the sun set. Kyou and Shigure sat in the living room, watching television, a Chinese drama called Mars was on. Kyou was growling at Shigure, telling him to change it to the martial arts tournament , but alas, Shigure had the remote and liked watching Kira (A/N: in the manga her name is Kira, in the drama it's a really hard name) and her timid self -- letch.
Tohru smiled at the sight before her, the fact that Shigure (despite his dog form) was treating Kyou like a real member of the family. Something the cursed Sohma do not do with Kyou -- or Yuki, but Tohru got the idea that Kyou had it worse. Far from her theory. Tohru sighed and went into the kitchen to start her Italian food, Spaghetti.
She looked at Yuki, who was sleeping on her bag, still as a rat. Tohru's brown eyes (A/N: I hate how they changed her eye color from the manga -whine-) scanned the area, wondering if anyone was around, because if he changed if company was over -- that wasn't a Juunishi -- ... That'd be awkward. Tohru thought to herself, as she opened the cabinet for garlic powder.
Later that evening, Tohru sat in her room, eating her plate of Spaghetti alone. She was too embarrassed to even look at Yuki, or Kyou for some reason. She knew why she couldn't look at Yuki, she just had a self realization, but why not Kyou? Kyou was a brother in her eyes, but why was she even scared to think about seeing him? It made her stomach churn just thinking about it.
Tohru set the plate of food on her desk and walked over to the window, and sat on the window seal (A/N: Is that how you spell it? Aw, well, ya'll know what I mean), and looked at the stars appearing over Tokyo's sky. Each one seemed a bit dull to Tohru tonight. Her mind was on other things. "Am I afraid of hurting him?" Tohru asked aloud.
"Who?" Yuki's voice lingered into the room. Tohru jumped, and almost fell out of her window, but she quickly saved herself and stood up.
"Eh?" She managed to get out, half because she was shocked, the other half from lack of air in her lungs -- all left her lungs when Yuki appeared onto the scene.
"Who're you afraid of hurting?" Yuki asked, adding more to what he previously asked.
"Eh? Oh, Kyou-ku -- I mean no one!" Tohru covered her mouth, wishing she'd kept her big mouth shut.
"..." Yuki blinked, and grinned, "You hurt that cat? How?" Yuki chuckled slightly.
Tohru froze up, and went to her plate, and sat her desk, and gnawed at the slightly cold noodles now. She wished he'd leave, not to be mean or anything, but because she was so embarrassed. Tohru slurped a noodle, and glanced out of the corner of her eye, to see if Yuki was still there; he was. Yuki had sat on the floor, next to the bed, apparently thinking about something.
Why is she afraid of hurting Kyou? Yuki thought to himself. Everyone knows he likes her -- well, maybe not Tohru herself. Wait, I just called Honda-san 'Tohru'! Yuki kept calm, but looked over to her. Tohru was still eating her dinner. I should tell her how I feel, before I scream out of anxiety. Yuki told himself, as he propped himself against the bed.
"Tohru-kun?" Yuki managed to get out.
Tohru sat up, and turned around smiling wider than she'd ever smiled before. He called me by my name! She was thinking, as her heart raced, as she longed to continue hearing what he was saying. "Y-Yes?" She asked.
Yuki chuckled at her reaction. Tohru was a child's book to this Sohma house, it was so easy to read what she was thinking. Apparently she loved the idea of Yuki calling her by her first name. That gave Yuki the courage to continue on with admitting his feelings. "Haru was nice enough to push me this far, so I don't intend to leave his good will at here." Yuki said.
"Eh?" Tohru asked, dense as ever. (A/N: No worries, Tohru! I'm just like you!)
"I love you, Tohru Honda. With all of my being, I love you." Yuki got that out easier than expected. Probably because Hatsuharu was there to help him. If it weren't for Hatsuharu, he'd still be calling Tohru 'Honda-san'... Wasn't Haru the one who told Tohru that calling Yuki 'Yuki-kun' would him happy? It was. I've got to thank him tomorrow. Yuki thought, as he looked over at Tohru, who was as red as the cold tomato sauce she was eating.
Oh, I'm so happy! Tohru thought as she munched on her spaghetti. But... I am almost positive Kyou-kun will start a huge fight with Yuki-kun. What will I do? Oh, I should just tell Yuki-kun how I feel. "Uh, Yuki-kun?" Tohru said, spinning around to face Yuki, who was now looking up at her.
"Hmm?" He said, or hummed, whatever.
"I l-love you... As well." She got out, her face even redder than before (A/N: ...how the hell...?). Her hair was shining in the moonlight that flooded the room from her open window. Yuki's hair, as well, was like the lunar colouring that entered the room. (A/N: At least in the manga it's more of a silver than a blue/purple). Yuki stood up, and walked over to Tohru. Instantly, Tohru found herself standing up facing Yuki -- well, looking up at him.
Next thing she knew, a small rat was in her possession. Meaning he embraced her in the quickest hug in all time. Even with Kyou's, when he turned into a monster and Tohru followed him, it lasted five seconds. Maybe because Yuki was embarrassed for telling Tohru how he felt? Who knew, probably not even Yuki himself.
"Just... Hold me for awhile, will you, Tohru-kun?" Yuki asked, looking up at her with his big, purple eyes.
Tohru giggled as she managed to nod. "Of course, Yuki-kun!" She smiled.
