Chapter 2 Tohru POV
We served the food and everyone ate sitting under the heater. It wasn't until about midnight that Shigure, Hatori, and Kureno came home. Uo had fallen asleep under the heater. Kureno couldn't bring himself to wake her so he left carrying her home. Shigure and Hatori retired to their beds. Momiji, Haru, and Yuki had gone to bed a while ago. I was up working on my class assignment and Kyo was keeping me company. Then again my assignment was on the refined 13 animal Zodiac. I glanced up at him, he was reading a book from our English class, it was fantasy so he really liked it. 'I wonder what he is always thinking about. Why can't he just follow his heart instead of his head that makes him stay so distant?' I thought studying.
"Focus on your paper not me, it is due tomorrow." he said not looking away from his book.
"Oh right." I said looking back to my paper. Really I was almost done all I had to do was the conclusion. I'll admit I was stalling. I don't want to leave his company. I glanced at him again. He looked so gentle sitting there reading.
"You got something to say? You're staring again." he said still not looking at me.
"How do you know?" I asked. "You haven't even looked at me." He blushed ever so slightly on his cheeks.
"I just… I can feel it. I'm a martial artist after all." he said putting the bookmark on the page. He closed his book and moved over behind me. I finished typing the conclusion then moved back to the top so he could read it. I felt his hand brush my cheek as he reached past and pointed at an error. I fixed it was he withdrew his hand. It wasn't until about 2am that we finished the editing. The paper was 15 pages long. When I was editing the conclusion I felt him lay his head against my back. I glanced back at him and say that he was asleep. I smiled and finished my editing. Instead of waking him though I just laid my head down and went to sleep.
