"I cannot believe it was that easy."
Tohru clenches her fist around what she had bought Kyo-kun, but not hard enough to break it. She was beaming with happiness, and excitement poured off of her.
"I cannot believe it."
Grinning from ear to ear, she slips the item in to her pocket…then something hit her.
Oh no, oh no no no, what if he thinks it is girly, or…or he thinks it is stupid!
She stops walking up the trail, and stands there for a few moments, lost in the thought of whether the gift was girly or not.
Would not a guy usually give a gift like this to his girlfriend! The girl doesn't usually give it to the guy does she? Oh I just do not know…I ju…I just will not give it to him.
She starts her walk back towards the house, pondering about things that she saw in the stores that he might have preferred over what she got him. Maybe, she should have just taken him with her. Then, then that would have ruined the surprise! He had surprised her, she wanted to surprise him! Her smile, and turned in to a frown, by the time she reached the front door.
She takes her shoes off, and steps inside. Her eyes not noticing the body standing inside the fridge…
"I just..cannot..believe…!"
She stops, her voice cutting off. Orange eyes staring at her, as he is placing a milk cartoon back in to the fridge.
"Believe what?"
She turns a pale pink, and sticks her hand in to her pocket, fumbling with the gift.
"I…I forgot where I was suppose to meet Arisa...That's…That's all."
He smirks, his eyes trailing from her eyes to her mouth.
For some reason, I don't think she would forget something like that. Hmm, wonder why she's lying.
Could it be because I kissed her…did she think that was strange!
Kyo's face flares red, as Tohru stands there looking up at him.
She has been acting weird sense then…but, but we've kissed before why would it have been different.
He shakes the thought out of his head, and that's when he realizes Tohru has already disappeared upstairs.
Okay that is definitely not like her. Ughh, she sure is confusing, sometimes!
"I cannot believe…he…he didn't say anything, maybe he knows I am lying."
She is pacing back and forth between her bed and door. She then digs in to her pocket, and pulls out the ring.
"I knew it, this is just way to girly."
It was a ring fit for a male. Wide, and big. His name wrote around the band, but inscribed on the inside of this ring, was let's stay together always. It was her idea to put that on the inside, but the more she thought about it, the more she realized it was girly! She just couldn't get that one thought out of head, it just keep turning over and over taunting her.
"hmm."
She places it on the nightstand, and plops down on to her bed. "Know what?" She questions the air, not expecting a reply, and really not wanting one.
"Tohru." There is a loud knock on her bedroom door. Groggy from sleep she lifts up.
Oh no, what time is it? I didn't even mean to fall asleep!
She jumps up out of her bed, and tries to flatten her hair with her fingers.
"Y...Yes."
There is only a moment's pause.
"I was just wondering if you were okay, since you haven't come out since you gotten home."
His voice was warm to her, warm, and settling in to her bones. She opens the door slowly peeking out at him. He was smiling. His smile always made her feel like she was floating. She opens the door enough to see his body fully. His smile turns in to a small chuckle. "Hmph." He tries to keep his laughter in but cannot. Her face turns to a dark. "I…I'm sorry…sorry." He coughs out. "What…is…do I look strange?" She was embarrassed that he was laughing at her. "Your hair…your hair is sticking straight up." He chuckles a few more times, and then restrains his laughter. She begins to feverishly pat her hair down. As she is bringing her hands up to do it again; he grabs a hold of her fingers.
"Stop, it's cute."
All she can do is, stare at him, and wonder about his statement.
"I know…I know its…Well I have been wondering why…why you've been acting awkward around me."
He pauses and hesitates a moment.
"If it's something I did that makes you feel uncomfortable, I want you to tell me. It makes me feel worse when you do not talk to me."
He is holding her hands. Tohru is having trouble thinking, she understands what he is saying. She didn't mean to make Kyo feel that way. She…she just wanted to get him something, that he would like.
"It…You didn't do anything…I just…"
She pauses, as he locks eyes with her. She doesn't want to say anything else; all she wants to do is kiss him. Why has she had these urges to just want to kiss him? To just want to hold his hands, and spend time together, he's waiting.
"I…I just…I just love you…a lot."
He stands there frozen, in his thoughts. He had not expected her to just blurt that out, he had expected something completely different.
"I just…I just want to be with you all the time, that's all. But since you got me something…I wanted to return the gift, with something of my own…but I couldn't find anything that…that you would like."
Her face, grew redder the more she speaks, and the more she speaks the more she realizes that the ring she had gotten him was sitting on her nightstand, and the position they were in he would be able to easily see it.
"Tohru, I'd like anything you got me, because it…would be from you."
She waits a moment, well would he really like that ring, maybe she should give it to him anyway and see what he thinks.
"Umm, Okay! You just cannot laugh at me, okay."
He smiles, and nods. "Close your eyes then."
He lets go off her hands, and waits. Hoping she will hurry.
She picks the ring up, and stands there staring at it.
Okay, Tohru just do it!
And she does, she presses the ring in to his hand, quick and hard.
"Okay, yo…you can open your eyes."
She says turning her back to him, so she doesn't see his face, when he looks down.
He does, and he stares down at the ring in awe. Why would she think he wouldn't like this? I mean she picked it out for him. He goes to put it on to his middle finger, but before he does, he notices small inscribed writing on the inside.
Let's stay together always.
He smiles, and slides the ring on. He sees that she is embarrassed of buying him such a gift. He places his hands on to her shoulders, and she notices the ring on his finger. He spins her around. Trails his fingers up to her cheeks, tilting her head up towards him.
"Thank you, Tohru."
Before he gets a chance to kiss her, she stretches her body towards him, and kisses him. At first he is shocked but quickly returns the pressure that she was applying.
When she pulls away she giggles lightly.
"I wanted to do that all day."'
He smirks, keeping his forehead pressed to hers.
"Let's do it again then."
