"I want him so bad..." Hiro whispered very softly to himself as he laid on the couch. He wanted to hug Kyou. He wanted Kyou to be the one with him all the time.

When did this start to happen? When did he feel that Kyou was the perfect person for him? It was confusing.

Kyou walked downstairs. He didn't say anything. He sat down in the chair and faced the opposite way of Hiro. He never did that. What was wrong with him?

Hiro sat up.

"Kyou? Kyou what's wrong?" He asked, showing his concern. Something he didn't do often. He hated showing weakness but how could he show strength when Kyou didn't love him back?

"Shut up stupid sheep. I dun' wanna talk." Kyou said kind of mad but Hiro could hear the struggle in his voice.

Hiro stood up and walked over to Kyou.

"You're crying." He said softly and Kyou glared and turned away from him.

"No I'm not you stupid sheep. Go away from me damn it!" He yelled and Hiro thought for a second. What would his mom do if he was upset?

Hiro climbed onto the chair with Kyou and hugged him. Kyou did NOT expect that and stared in awe at the 14 year old boy on his lap.

"Why are you sad Kyou?" Hiro asked again and looked up. "Please tell me."

"..." Kyou was confused as ever. Usually the Hiro HE knew would make fun of him for crying which would cause him to become even more upset.

"Wanna go for a walk?"

~+ * +~

Hiro and Kyou were walking through the woods aimlessly. Their destination was unknown, but Hiro knew the cat would love to walk around for a while with company. Maybe that would calm him down.

"Are you going to tell me yet?" Hiro asked softly. It was completely unlike him but he needed to find out what happened. He bet it was Torhu's fault.

"... I... I told Torhu I liked her.." Kyou mumbled and Hiro's fists squeezed in his pockets.

"And what happened?" Hiro asked after Kyou trailed off sadly.

"What the fuck do you think happened Hiro? She chose the rat over me, again. He ALWAYS wins! God damn it! Akito's right, I am a monster. Not even Torhu likes me. No one does and it pisses me off!!" Kyou kicked the tree that was to his side until there was a very deep dent in it and he was panting. "I... Should just get locked up now."

"No." Hiro said, wide eyed. "Kyou, just because some girl doesn't like you--"

"SOME GIRL?! HIRO!! THAT'S TORHU!" He yelled and Hiro glared.

"Kyou, calm down. Just because Torhu doesn't like you doesn't mean you're unlikable. And just because Akito is a prick doesn't mean you're a monster. And don't you DARE go get locked up in a cage. You still have year and a half of freedom. Might as well make it your happiest instead of sulking and screaming all the god damned time!" Hirohuffed and Kyou glared.

"You're such an asshole Hiro. I don't know WHY I decided to talk to you." Kyou hissed and Hiro froze. He really needed to learn how to be nicer with people.

"Kyou... I'm sorry... I don't know how to tell you this..." He said and Kyou glared.

"Tell me what?" Kyou snapped and Hiro shook his head while looking at Kyou sadly and closing his eyes.

"Nothing. I'm sorry I made your night worse..." Hiro turned around and walked back to the house. He laid down on the couch and sighed. He knew no matter what, Kyou wouldn't ever consider him. Why? Gay incest maybe? But there was also the fact that he would never be Torhu. Ever.

~+ * +~

Hiro didn't remember falling asleep but he was up right now. He looked around and noticed it was still pretty early but everyone should be waking up soon anyway.

He got up and walked into the kitchen. Something possessed him to want to cook. He wanted to make a lot of food and he didn't know why but he did anyway.

Torhu walked into the kitchen and paused when she saw Hiro was cooking.

He turned to her, still slightly mad at her for what happened to Kyou last night but that didn't show aside from his utter annoyance that he always had on his face when he looked at her.

"H-Hiro?" She was confused and he shrugged.

"Yeah, what of it?" He asked and turned back to the stove.

"You're.. Cooking." She pointed out and he rolled his eyes. How stupid IS this girl. Of COURSE he was cooking.

"Yes, why does it matter?" He asked bitterly and she smiled.

"Oh... No reason. So you like to cook?" She asked and walked by his side and nodded.

"Me and my mom used to cook all the time when I was bored. Basically the only thing we did together." Hiro mumbled, no sign of sadness but annoyance.

"Oh. Well, if you ever want we could cook together." Torhu smiled and Hiro looked at her, he wanted to flat out refuse but he decided to humor her.

"Maybe." He said calmly. "But right now I want to cook alone. Go do something, breakfast should be ready in 10 minutes.." He said and she smiled brightly.

"Of course. I can't wait to try your cooking! It smells lovely!" She said happily and walked out of the room. He shook his head. How could Kyou like this ditz?

~+ * +~

"Torhu? If you're upstairs, who is cooking?" Yuki asked as he passed her in the hallway.

"Oh, Hiro decided to make breakfast this morning. Doesn't it smell great?" Torhu asked with a smile and Yuki blinked. He never thought Hiro would be a cook. Of all things he was, he never thought cook was on the list.

"Wait, Hiro is cooking?" Kyou asked as he walked out of his room. Glaring at the rat that was half asleep.

"Yes. He is." Torhu said with a nod and smile.

Kyou raised his eyebrow and walked downstairs in the kitchen. He noticed Hiro was only paying attention to the stove, he could see the corner of his eye and saw Hiro was very much enjoying what he was doing. It was sweet. He was calm and really liked cooking.

"Why are you looking at me?" Hiro asked softly, his eyes not moving.

"You look like you're having a blast." Kyou said jadedly and Hiro nodded.

"You like fighting for your stress relief, mine is cooking." He said simply.

"Hiro... I'm sorry I guess... I shouldn't have yelled at you." Kyou mumbled and Hiro looked up, he was trying not to because every time he looked at Kyou his heart would beat significantly faster and it was harder to breath while looking in those red eyes. "But what did you want to tell me yesterday?"

That I like you?

That I don't want to see you go?

That I'm jealous of Torhu?

Hiro shook his head.

"It's nothing Kyou." He finally came out with and Kyou scowled.

"Hiro, why the hell won't you tell me?" Kyou asked and Hiro looked up at Kyou.

"There's nothing to tell." He said simply and shut off the stove and set the table while Kyou was glaring daggers at him. Kyou NEEDED to know what it was.

Kyou walked into the living room and saw a folded piece of paper on the floor. Curiosity overwhelmed him. Curiosity killed the cat...

Some people find that a crush is something that prepares you for the real thing such as when you really find the person you're looking for in your life. But recently all crushes have been good for are getting hurt. Why else would they call it a crush? It's the only name that suit's the purpose. Sometimes they don't even work out. You have to look to find your true love but that's kind of hard in a world like this. Especially when you're a cursed animal.

The zodiac curse is everything but a cool curse. And for that simple curse, just maybe that then maybe none of us will truly find the ones we love that will love us back. Because it's always going to be they like someone else and we're forced to someone different. But perhaps who we're forced to cling to in our moment of woes would be the person that wouldn't crush you in the end. The one to give you a helping hand instead of being the cause of it being outstretched for help. And just maybe I've found that person. And just maybe will he feel the same. There are high doubts but I suppose I could try for what it's worth.

Although I do hope that someone finds my sinking hand outstretched to be saved. Because I'm sinking in a swamp and I don't know how to swim.

And satisfaction brought it back...

Kyou looked up and folded the note back up and placed it back where he found it as he sat on the couch.

Hiro... Liked someone. Hiro liked a guy. That's all he knew so far. But could that guy be him?

Kyou looked up as Hiro walked in.

"Breakfast." He said simply and walked out.

I need to ask Hiro who the hell he likes. What if it IS me... Man that's just plain weird.

Kyou sighed and walked over to the dining room and sat down where everyone ate.

Torhu was grinning widely at Hiro.

"Hiro, this is amazing!" She said happily and Yuki nodded.

"I never knew you could cook Hiro." Shigure smiled slyly.

"Thanks." Hiro mumbled as he nibbled on his food.

~+ * +~

"Hiro. I have a question." Kyou said while they sat on the roof together calmly.

"What?" Hiro asked with a sigh.

"Do you like me?" Kyou asked and Hiro closed his eyes tightly.

It's now or never Hiro...

"How could you tell?" Hiro asked and looked at him, it was obvious that he didn't know with eyes wide like his.

Come on, humor me and review. I'm sickly and lonely D:
