Week 3-

Tohru groaned staring at the clock, it was four a.m. yet she couldn't manage to go back to sleep. She didn't know what the insomnia was from, though the pregnancy was her first guess; the other was her dread of going to school. Summer break had finally come to a close last night, and today, she would be going back to school pregnant. She had no idea what she was going to say to Uo and Hana. There was no way she could keep something this big from them, yet in these couple of weeks she hadn't even attempted to make contact with them to explain her situation.

She sat up on her bed, giving up on going back to sleep. For a minute, she sat there trying to think of a way to tell her friends without getting them mad at Yuki and without letting anyone else overhear. Tohru needed a good plan. Uo was one who easily yelled, and the last thing she wanted in this situation was for Uo to shout that she was pregnant. Maybe telling Hana first was her best choice. Sighing, she stood up, exited her room, and started walking over to the kitchen for a drink. Passing Yuki's bedroom, she froze, feeling the need to talk to him.

Hesitantly, she maneuvered to his door, quietly pushing on his door. Finding it unlocked, she peeked in rather timidly, not sure what to expect. Inside the dark room, she could vaguely make out dirty clothes scattered on the floor along with a few books. In the back of the room, half on the bed, and partially covered by the thin blanket was Yuki, who was snoring softly. Her legs moved on their own, walking until they sat themselves on the corner of Yuki's bed. Tohru stared at the sleeping figure for a minute before lying down on his bed. She stuck her hand out shaking his shoulder, still not sure what she was doing, but she wanted him to talk to her, to have him comfort her.

"Yuki-kun?" Tohru breathed.

Yuki stirred, finally opening his eyes half way after she called his name a second time. He gazed at her for a minute, not fully awake yet. It took him a while before he responded, continuing to peer into her eyes he muttered, "Tohru? What are you doing here? What time is it?"

"Sorry Yuki-kun… I couldn't sleep… I'm sorry I woke you up…" Tohru whispered, remembering that he had been fast asleep a couple of minutes ago.

He blinked, slowly starting to register what was going on. This was the first time she had ever entered his room in the middle of the night. She avoided going into their rooms most of the time, wanting to respect their privacy. Her lying on his bed caught him off guard; he still didn't fully understand what was going on. Tohru appeared full of anxiety though, even in the dark he could see the dark rings under her eyes from lack of sleep. Flipping onto his side so he was facing her directly, Yuki stroked her hair, gazing at her face before glancing at the clock on his nightstand.

"What's wrong Tohru? Is the baby bothering you?" Yuki asked worriedly.

"No… I'm just worried about going to school today…" Tohru admitted almost shyly.

"Don't be… It's too early for you to be this concerned," Yuki mumbled, growing sleepy again.

Tohru looked at him, feeling a little less worked up. Calming down, she began to notice how tired she was. Yawning, she started to feel guilty for even disturbing Yuki who had already done more than enough for her. He rolled onto his stomach draping his arm around her neck telling her, "Just go back to sleep…"

With that, he fell back to sleep, holding her onto his bed without actually hugging her. Her eyes enlarged from shock, he had just told her to go back to sleep, but he kept her from going back to her own room to sleep. She sighed, not sure what to do. Her mind knew that she couldn't sleep in the same room, let alone the same bed, as a guy, but her eyes wouldn't stay open for a second longer. Tohru let them close, resisting trying to keep them open any longer. She moved closer to him, snuggling against him, subconsciously smiling, and slipping her legs under his blanket.

It wasn't until four hours later did the two of them wake up in a frenzy. School would start soon. They had both slept passed Yuki's alarm, or maybe his alarm broke from yesterday morning's beating for waking him up. He stared at the clock in disbelief before shaking Tohru awake. She slowly opened her eyes, giving him an odd look like she didn't remember coming in here. The truth was he didn't even know why she was in his room, but he did know that if they didn't leave now, they'd be late for their first class.

"…Yuki-kun? Where am I?" she asked in a delicate quiet voice as she rubbed her eyes.

"In my room… Though I'm not quite sure why yet…" Yuki replied as he got out of the bed, making his way over to his closet for his school uniform.

She glanced over at the clock before squeaking and darting out of his room to let him change and for her to change herself. Both of them changed quicker than ever, pulling on each piece of clothing rashly, not caring how they looked at the moment. Yuki didn't even bother putting his tie on, letting the top of his white top hang open as he ran down the stairs. Tohru didn't even have time to prepare their breakfast or anything; she ran a comb through her hair as she skidded down the steps, pulling her socks on as she stumbled over to her shoes. He followed her, stepping into his shoes and handing her backpack to her.

"Come on Tohru, we better get going, or we'll be late," he said with a half smile.

Tohru nodded, taking her bag gratefully and jumping to her feet, thankful that her morning sickness seemed to be leaving her alone for now. They didn't even say anything to Shigure before bolting down the road for the high school. It was officially the start of the second term of their second year, and it seemed like the world was against them. An endless train crossed the track before they could cross, wasting about five minutes of their time. The streets were unusually crowded today as well. While pushing their way through, they had to be extra careful so that he wouldn't transform. In the end, their efforts went to waste. They arrived breathlessly at the entrance of the school, the tardy bell ringing before they could even enter.

They almost collapsed out of exhaustion, but they made their way to their classroom wearily. Shoving the door open, they both apologized to the teacher. All of their classmates stared at the two of them entering together, late, with the same disheveled appearance. It was odd for either of them to be late, especially on the first day back. He was the student body president, and she, well most people knew she tried extra hard at school. Their tardiness came as a shock to the teacher as well. Yuki and Tohru looked around slightly confused. It seemed like they had gotten new seats today. The only seats left open were all the way in the back of the room, but at least they'd be sitting next to each other.

"I'll let you two off the hook since it's the start of the semester… Get to your seats in the back of the room before I change my mind," muttered Mayu as she went back to writing the lesson on the board.

"Yes sensei… Thank you," they both breathed in before bowing and making their way to their seats without another word.

Yuki chose the seat near the window, dropping down tiredly. Everyone in the room was giving them funny looks. It was only then did Yuki realize he still had his tie in his hand. Tohru shyly sat down in the seat directly next to him, avoiding the eyes of the Yuki fan girls. She sometimes wished he wasn't so popular. Their eyes shone with anger at her for taking the seat next to their prince. There were three more empty seats to Tohru's right, one most likely for Kyo and the other two were probably for her friends whom she just noticed weren't here today.

Mayu started the lecture, switching everyone's attention from Yuki and Tohru to her. The two of them were grateful for her doing this. It was now that Yuki decided to tie his tie on, poorly, but at least it was on, to the dismay of many girls who were enjoying getting a glimpse of his chest. Tohru focused intently in the lesson, recording everything the teacher said unlike Yuki who was twirling his pencil around and peering out the window. His notebook, she noticed, was completely empty. This started to worry her and make her jealous. How could he be at the top of their class yet never write down a single note? This amazed her yet made her wonder how she was almost failing yet writing down everything.

"Yuki-kun…" Tohru whispered tugging on his sleeve.

"Nn? Is something the matter?" he murmured back softly so no one could hear.

She stared down at her lap after seeing his genuinely concern filled eyes. Tohru bit her lip, feeling bad for making him worry about her and disrupting his learning. Shaking her head, she looked up at him with a smile before going back to note taking. He stared at her intent face as she scribbled down the lecture before resting his head on the desk, not sure what to make of the situation. Feeling sleep catching up with him, Yuki yawned before closing his eyes and dozing off in class. In truth, he hadn't slept well after Tohru had climbed into his bed though he wasn't aware of it.

Every few minutes, Tohru looked over at the sleeping Yuki. His snores were so soft; she could hardly tell he was sleeping. Several times, she had tried to wake him up, but nothing worked. Around the end of third period she began feeling tired too. Her night had been the complete opposite of his. She didn't fall asleep until she climbed into his bed, which meant she only got four hours of sleep. For what she thought was just a second, she laid her head on top of her notebook, shutting her eyes. It wasn't until Mayu threw an eraser at the ground separating their two desks did either of them realize they had fallen asleep. They both jumped out of their seats, dumbfounded and startled by the sound.

Mayu pointed at the door yelling, "Sohma! Honda! Don't sleep in class! It's the first day back, and you two were late! Didn't you guys get enough sleep?"

"So-Sorry Sensei!" Tohru cried, looking around embarrassedly.

Yuki didn't say anything. His eyes held a distant look. He still wasn't fully awake yet, but no one seemed to notice but Tohru. Mayu continued to direct their attention to the door, gesturing them to go into the hall. Tohru blinked innocently but nodded and stood up, bowing before she started out the door. Yuki sat there for a bit longer before following Tohru out. Partially sleepwalking, he almost slammed into the door, missing the edge by an inch. The teacher shut the door, leaving them to sit on the floor.

Without a second thought, Yuki dropped down on the cold tiles, leaning against the wall with his eyes closed. Tohru remained standing, feeling like she had disappointed her mother for falling asleep in class. There was no doubt that the both of them would be in detention for a while because of this. She squeezed her eyes shut, apologizing to her mom through a prayer.

"Honda-san… Don't worry about it so much… You'll still graduate just fine…" Yuki muttered, forcing his eyes to open slightly.

She beamed, feeling better after hearing his words. She plopped herself down beside him. Drowsily, she rested her head on his shoulder, feeling more comfortable around him lately. Yuki set his head on top of hers and held her hand in his, going off to dreamland together once again.

Mayu stepped out of the classroom when the other students were working on an assignment to check on Yuki and Tohru. She froze in her tracks, staring at the two of them, her best student and one of her worst students sleeping in the hallway beside one another holding hands. She couldn't fight the smile from breaking out on her face, "Detention for two weeks…"
