Quick Notes: I DO NOT OWN FRUITS BASKET! But I do pwn at writing for these two apparently XD I've been flooding everybody with stories lately since I seem to have cleared up my I don't want to write syndrome. Ok….I hope this comes out good…most of my stories suck while I'm writing them, but then get better when I go back and read them later :3
Here goes, roll fanfic -love- forgive typos, errors, etc.
Kyo got out of bed and slowly made his way to the kitchen. He stopped just short of the refrigerator. A tear rolled down his cheek and he was thankful that no one else was awake to see it. The clock on the stove read four in the morning, which meant he had been up sobbing most of the night. He dreaded school today. He dreaded everything today. He just wanted to go back to his room and curl up and die. Anything so he wouldn't have to face that rat…..or Haru.
Kyo got dressed quickly and left before anyone else had the chance to wake up and stop him. He'd head over to Haru's house and see if he could talk to him before school. He knew that Haru'd probably go black and he didn't think he had the energy to deal with that at school today. While he was walking, Kyo thought.
He and Haru together didn't really make sense anyway. They should both be with girls, planning on getting married and having children one day. A voice in the back of his head answered, "It doesn't matter. You're both cursed. You're both as good as the other is going to get…" Kyo shook it off and continued walking. He'd never noticed how cold it could get in the morning. He immediately wished he knew where his jacket was.
"Probably on Haru's bed where I left it…" He thought. He sighed. After what had happened last night, he felt like such an asshole. Haru had let him do that to him…and now he was coming to dump him all because of that stupid rat.
"It's not the rats fault. You know he'd never tell….It's something else…." There was that pesky voice again. Sometimes Kyo wished he could yank his brain out and shove it against a wall.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Haru woke up and wandered into the living room. His mom was gone again, but there was a note on the fridge that said she'd be back later. Haru sighed and plopped down on the couch.
His back hurt so bad. His legs hurt too. Hell, his everything hurt. He thought about skipping school today. Maybe he'd go and try to catch Kyo and drag him back here with him and they could have a day to themselves. Haru stretched and heard his back pop, not that it made it feel any better.
"Damn…I feel like I've been run over by a truck…." He muttered. He yanked all his clothes off and crawled under his electric blanket.
"Ahh…Better…." He sighed. He heard a soft knock at the door, followed by a gruff, "S'me…" and Haru's face broke into a grin. He got up slowly, wrapping the blanket around his waist. He turned the handle slowly and saw Kyo standing there shivering without a jacket.
"Poor kitty-cat…It's cold out there you know." Haru cooed. Kyo grimaced.
"I noticed." He shot back. Haru smiled wider, in spite of himself.
"I know what would warm you up…." Haru whispered, before letting the blanket fall around him. Kyo stared, his eyes drinking in Haru's body.
"Nobody's home…I thought we could both skip school today and just be lazy together…." He said, laughing a little. Kyo just stared and felt his heart speed up. He walked inside slowly and closed the door, locking it behind him. He fell into Haru, wrapping his arms around the taller boy.
"I love you Haru…" Kyo muttered. Haru embraced Kyo back, running his hands through his hair.
"I love you too kitten." He said softly. Kyo's shoulders shook.
"Still cold?" Haru asked. Kyo shook his head slowly. He looked up at Haru, tears forming around the edges of his eyes.
"Kyo….Kyo what's wrong!? What is it?" Haru asked. Kyo reached out and wrapped his lips around Haru's. Reaching up, he pulled Haru closer, deepening their kiss and thrusting his tongue inside Haru's mouth. Haru moaned into it and Kyo could already feel him harden. Kyo shivered as Haru pulled his shirt up, rubbing his warm skin against Kyo's frozen body.
In no time, Kyo's pant were off and the two were laying on the couch, tangled in each others limbs.
"Kyo….why did you look so sad..?" Haru murmured. Kyo sighed and looked up, capturing Haru's eyes in his crimson ones.
"Yuki knows." Kyo stated simply. Haru opened his mouth to say something, but closed it immediately. Kyo snuggled his cheek into Haru's chest and sighed deeper. "He knows…and if I step out of line even once he'll tell Akito." Kyo said. Haru's body stiffened.
"You don't really think-" he started. Kyo cut him off.
"I know….The only way for both of us to avoid this whole thing…is if he doesn't have anything to tell Akito." Kyo said. He felt his throat tighten, making the words hard to get out.
Haru sat for a minute. "We could deny it." He said slowly. Kyo shook his head.
"We can't…it's only a matter of time before someone else finds out…." Kyo said. Haru sighed.
"They wouldn't….they wouldn't tell…" He said. He didn't sound sure of himself.
"The would. I know for a fact Hiro would, and Momiji can't keep a secret! And if Shigure or Ayame found out, well they'd have a field day with it!" Kyo blurted out. Haru's body shook and Kyo looked up into his eyes.
Haru wasn't crying, but his eyes had gone to a light grey, almost white color. Kyo had never seen them like this before and worried that a whole new side of Haru might start showing. Haru closed his eyes and breathed in a deep, broken breath. He reached up with his hand and ran it through his hair. Kyo watched. He'd never really seen Haru sad, or worried. So far he didn't like what he saw.
"Alright….so the only thing we can do….is break it off." Haru muttered. Kyo nodded slowly. He felt the urge to tell Haru he had been up all night crying about it, but decided against it. Haru nodded briefly and stood up, pushing Kyo off him.
He gathered Kyo's clothes and handed them to the cat.
"Alright…fine. We're done. It's over. You can go now." Haru said. His eyes were a deep grey now and Kyo feared he had gone black.
"Haru-" Haru cut him off.
"Isn't that the only reason you came over here!? Didn't you rehearse what you were going to say all the way here!? Everyone's found out, so now there's no way we can be together! It's fine, I get it!" Haru spat. He turned and stormed toward his room, slamming the door and locking it behind him. Kyo stood up and walked over to the door.
"Haru….I'm sorry…" He said slowly. He heard a sob from the other side and felt his heart break.
"Just go away." Haru said. Kyo stood by the door a while longer, listening to Haru sob and break whatever came into his reach. He sighed, and walked out, closing the door gently behind him.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Neither one showed up for school that day. When Kyo arrived home, he announced to everyone that he had just went for a walk and that he didn't feel well. He blamed the rain that was pitter-pattering outside of his window and everyone seemed to buy the excuse. Yuki gave him uneasy stares, but Kyo didn't have the energy or the want to fight him. He trudged the stairs slowly to his room and he fell asleep. He slept most of the day and dreamt of Haru. The rest of the day he spent sighing into a pillow and wetting it with the few tears that were brave enough to fall from his eyes.
Haru had spent the day destroying his room until finally passing out on his bed only to be woken up by his mother hours later. She'd arrived home from work and went directly to sleep.
Both boys laid on their beds and listened to the rain fall outside their windows. Each one wondering if the other one was thinking of them.
Haru was white now, his black side taking a break from sobbing and destroying things. His white side was a little more rational. He understood why he and Kyo couldn't be together. He understood that Kyo must feel exactly like he felt. And he understood it wasn't Kyo's fault. He sighed and rolled over, pushing his face into the pillows. He understood. He had to let Kyo know that. He had to let him know he knew it wasn't his fault, and maybe Haru had overreacted. He had to let him know that even though they weren't, no couldn't, even though they couldn't be together….Haru still loved him with all his heart.
End Notes: I'm not sure if I wrote this very well…But meh….I tried…I just need to work more XD Go back and read more of the books I guess. I KNOW THIS IS WAY OOC XD But, Kyo does have feelings you know. And he and Haru are getting much more comfortable around each other. If anything, Haru gets to see the side of Kyo that actually cares about something. More later, for now, sleep I have to be up in 3 hours XD Curse you keeping me up too late Fruits Basket!!
