"WHAT the HELL?" Kyo fumed, banging the door behind him, and staring lividly at the two guilty-looking faces that were just recently locking lips. Tohru ducked out under Yuki's stiff arm and reached for Kyo, but he flinched away, disgust evident on his face. She bit her lip, looking up him with pleading eyes. "Kyo-ku…Kyo, please listen to me, I never meant to hur-"
"Hurt me?!" Kyo snorted, his voice dripping with sarcasm. Tohru recoiled at the venom in his voice, as he shook his head and started backing away to the stairs. "Well, congrats Tohru. You got everything you want, right? Mr. Prince Charming is just so perfect, isn't he? You're happy now, right?!"
There was a slightly hysteric note to his voice, his voice catching a bit at the end. With one last loathing glance behind him, Kyo turned and swiftly dashed to the stairs, taking them two at a time, determined not to let them see the injured tears welling in his eyes.
Head bowed over her cup of tea, Tohru barely felt the comforting hand rubbing her back soothingly, her whole body feeling numb and hollow. Yuki looked down at her sadly, wishing that he could do something more for her than say meaningless comfort words. Why did it have to turn out like this, he wondered, marveling at the irony of it all. My perfect first moment with her and Kyo has to come in right then. Right then! He's not going to be in a good mood for another week or so. Maybe longer. I just hate to see her suffer because he decides to be difficult about this. He glanced down, fingering Tohru's silky hair as she looked away sadly. Maybe she's acting like this because she also…
No, Yuki shook his head irritably. She was the one who kissed me, it can't be like that. She's just upset because Kyo is. She's like that, so generous all the time. He felt a sudden overwhelming feeling for the girl who was sitting in front of him. Taking her chin in his hands, he gently turned her head so that she was facing him. He studied her face for a second, and then pressed his lips tenderly to her soft ones. She gratefully turned around, not breaking the kiss, and wrapped her arms around his waist, hugging her body to his.
Ah, yes, Yuki thought as he ran his hand down her and cradled the small of her back. This feels right.
After a moment, Tohru broke away, their lips brushing as they separated. Her face still inches from his, she took her hand and placed it on his cheek gently. "I think that I need to go talk to Kyo," she whispered, her bangs tickling his forehead. Yuki was overcome for a moment with a head-dizzying wonderful smell of lavender as he bent his head to her neck, in taking the beautiful smell.
"One more thing," he breathed, sending shivers down her spine as his hand brushed down her ribs and over down her waist. He pressed his hands under her shirt to touch the soft, warm skin of her hips.
Tohru bent over him, placing her hands on his shoulders and slowly pushed him to the floor. She leaned in and kissed him full on the mouth, sliding her leg over him and leaning into him. Yuki's head was getting dizzy and disconcertingly fuzzy as he gently pushed her lips open with his. Realizing slowly where this would go, he regretfully rolled over so he was on top of her, breaking the kiss and supporting his weight so she would carry none of it. He gazed down in wonder at the beautiful girl under him. "All right, now you can go," he murmured, flashing her a grin and getting off Tohru, pulling her to her feet. She giggled a bit, and smoothed her hair into place, all worry gone from her head.
"Please don't put him in a worse mood," he said softly, giving her hand one last squeeze as she started fore the stairs. She smiled lightly at him, still a bit breathless, and started for the stairs.
As she slowly started to climb, the reality sunk in and she began to worry once again. What will I say? What can I do at this point? Is there really any hope for us to be friends again? She bit her lip and taking one last breath, climbed the final stair and headed for his room. She stopped at the end of the hallway, and stood in front of the closed door, praying that her courage not fail her. Taking another shaking breath, she stepped forward and knocked one on his door.
She heard a rustling sound from his room and heard him padding slowly on the carpet, heading for the door. She waited nervously as he fumbled with the doorknob, and then opened it. He looked at her, eyes slightly narrowed, but not as mad as she expected him to be. She inwardly breathed a sigh of relief. All wasn't lost quite yet.
"Yeah?" he asked her, his voice guarded but still soft, almost as if not to scare her. She looked up and was at a momentary loss for words as she stared up into the familiar eyes, losing her thoughts as her mind drifted aimlessly, lost in a strange spell. Almost involuntarily, Kyo reached up a trembling hand. He hesitated, still looking at her. After a moment, he ran his hand along the length of her jaw, his hand shaking slightly.
"Aahh," Tohru whimpered quietly, but not in agony or pain. No, it wasn't anything of the sort, as he took that hand and brushed her hair off her neck, his eyes emotional and undecided. He reached down very slowly, and brushed his lips across her jaw line, up and down again, sending once again those shaky shivers down her spine, and an exhilarated little sigh escaped her lips.
No this feeling was all too familiar. It was love.
