Chapter Three.
I wake up and see my Yuki lying next to me, his face peaceful. I turn around and look at the clock, it's only four in the morning. Of course. I lay my head back down on the pillow and just stare at my beautiful Yuki's face. I don't know how much time went by but I drifted off to sleep again.
"Haru," I hear a voice whimper. I don't know who it is and I don't care. I'm sleeping. "Haru, please." then someone starts to shake my shoulders. "Haru!" It's Yuki I realize. And he's crying, why is he crying?
My eyes fly open to see him leaning over me crying. I sit up and put my hand on his shoulder. "Yuki, what happened? What's wrong?" I say. He just shakes his head. I pick him up slightly and bring him into me. He's sitting on top of me and I am holding him close as he cries.
"Yuki, you don't have to talk about it right now. But I would like to know what happened at some point. Things that make you upset also make me upset."
"It was only a dream, only a dream." he said.
"Was it a dream or a memory?" I ask him, thinking of all those years he spent in that room.
"It was a memory. From when I was in that room. I remembered being in there and reaching out to people and they did nothing, my mother only smiled and left, Ayame just shrugged me off. It was so scary. I thought that I would never get out." he sobs.
"I know, I'm sorry. It's okay Yuki, you aren't there now. You're here, with me and Shigure and Tohru and the stupid cat. But mostly me. And it's okay. Akito's not here." I whisper. Trying to soothe him.
"I know, thanks Haru." he says snuggling up closer to me. I hold him for a while until he's okay again. When he's all done crying he sits up and leans in close to me saying, "I love you Haru."
"I love you too Yuki," I say and kiss him softly on the lips. He stands up and sits on the bed, pulling the covers over himself. I stand up as well and look at the clock, it's only five.
I walk to the door and I pull it open, "Where are you going?" Yuki asks from beneath the blankets.
"To take a shower, I'll be right back baby."
A few hours later we were walking out the front door on our way to school. As we walked further and further down the path I draped my arm around Yuki's shoulders. I could feel Kyou's questioning gaze on us and I can hear Tohru gasp in surprise. I smirk like the smartass I am.
"Uh Haru? What's up with that?" Kyou asks me gesturing towards my arm around Yuki.
"Don't you know Kyou? We're lovers." I say pulling Yuki closer. I can almost hear Yuki's grimace spreading across his face. Kyou laughs at us and rolls his eyes. Of course he thinks I'm joking. He needs to think I'm joking.
I drop my arm from Yuki's shoulders. We are almost at school and no doubt will there be women flocking all over my Yuki. The thought disgusts me. And to no surprise, right when we walk in the door are they there. Those stupid fan girls.
"Ah Yuki-kun! Good morning!" one says bowing. The others behind her bow as well, muttering their good morning's.
"Good morning," Yuki says smiling lightly. The girls just about faint from seeing him smile at them. I roll my eyes. One of them walks up to him.
"Ah good morning Sohma-san. I was wondering if you had a partner for the class project yet? Because, you see, I don't…" her blush was spreading across her face. "And I wondered if you wanted to be my partner." I knew that Yuki didn't have a partner yet. I looked at him wondering what he would do.
"Ah I'm very sorry but I already have a partner." he says with a faint smile.
"Oh, who is your partner?" I can hear the jealousy oozing in her voice. She's afraid it's some other girl that he picked over her.
"It's my cousin, Kyou." he says and he casts that fake smile at her again. I almost crack up, is she really going to fall for that? If she does she must be pretty stupid.
"Oh alright." I let out a giggle, I can't believe she believed that. "What's so funny?" she asks rather offended. Yuki throws his elbow into my ribs.
He says, "My cousin just remembered something funny." she looks at me with raised eyebrows. I nod and smile at her. She looks satisfied so she turns and walks away.
"I can't believe she fell for that." I say after she is out of hearing range. I start to laugh.
He laughs too, and then says, "I know, I can't believe I could actually say it though."
The bell rings and we have to leave. I hug him and before he can protest kiss him lightly on the cheek. "Bye my love, I'll see you later." and with that I walk towards class, happiest I've been in a long time.
