There was a knock at the door and Tohru scrambled to get it.
"Can I come in?" Kyo asked as she opened the door.
"Sure." She said as she took out her headphones and set down her MP3 player.
She shut the door and turned to Kyo.
"Tohru, i'm really, really sorry about earlier...on the roof. I was stupid and an idiot and I shouldn't have acted that way."
"Kyo you don't-"
Kyo held out his hand. "Wait. I need to finish before I can't anymore."
She nodded and looked at him.
"The truth is I did want to tell you something but I was too much of a coward to just come out and say it. It was so stupid of me. I upset you and that was wrong of me."
'He must've heard me crying earlier.' Tohru thought as he went on.
"When I heard you a few minutes ago singing I knew that I just needed to out with it already. I've been thinking about it for a long time and... great... now i'm just rambling." He took a breath and tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear, taking her hands in his.
"Tohru..."
She looked at him.
"Tohru...i-i love you."
Everything suddenly fell silent. It was as if the entire world stopped. A tear hit the floor, followed by another, and another. Tohru was crying but she was also smiling. A smile that was hurting her face because it was so big.
"I love you too Kyo...I love you so much."
His eyes widened. "You do? Seriously?"
She laughed. "Yea seriously."
He smiled now. "Good."
She laughed again. He wiped her tears away and held her cheek for a minute.
"Do you know how long I've been wanting to tell you that?" Kyo asked as he gently stroked her cheek.
"As long as I have I hope." She smiled.
They stood there for a few minutes, just soaking it in. Then Tohru yawned, signaling that she was tired. After all, they had school tomorrow.
"I'll see you in the morning then?" He asked as he backed to the door.
Tohru kept hold of his hand and walked into him, hugging him tight. Kyo slowly wrapped his arms around her too. He laughed a little.
"I'm still not used to not turning into a cat..." Tohru looked at him and smiled.
"I'm glad you don't. Cuz now I can hug you all I want." She held him, resting her head on his chest. He stroked her hair.
"Me too Tohru, me too."
They broke apart and said their goodnights. Tohru changed into her pj's and covered up, falling asleep the moment her head hit the pillow.
