Disclaimer: I don't own Fruits Basket. If I did... let's just say Kyo and Yuki would be messing up Shigure's house in a completely different way.

Chapter 4: Company It Is
"I'm really sorry about what happened earlier."
Haru and I sat at the table in the large kitchen in the Sano household. Both of us eating ice-cream sundaes made by Haru of course since I would probably find a way to screw up something like sundaes.
Haru looked at me seemingly amused. "Do you have something to be sorry for?"
I blushed momentarily, "Not really... it's just that I... he..." I sighed, "Kyo's not the most sociable person."
Haru laughed, "Ya, I noticed. He's quite the feisty one." Haru looked at me questioningly. "Is there something you want to tell me Yuki?"
"What? No. Nothing."
"Oh come on, if there's anyone you can tell, it's me right?"
I groaned. Haru was right. If there was anyone I could vent to it would be him.
"Fine. It's not nothing." Haru nodded, waiting for me to continue. "I don't know what's happening to me. I can't seem to get that idiot out of my head. He's annoying the hell out of me."
Haru interjected, "Sou annoyed you at the beginning too, right? Maybe you'll end up being his friend. Just like what happened with Sou."
I shook my head, "It's not the same... it's not the same as it was with Sou. Sou would irritate me but never to this extent. Kyo doesn't even need to speak for my whole body to start becoming tense. The moment he walks in to a classroom or even the building it's as if I can feel him and to tell you the truth it's beginning to freak me out."
Haru smiled down at me, "I understand how it may feel now, Yuki, but I've got a feeling that there's more to all of this. Something you're unaware of or you may even know deep down but be too afraid to admit."
I looked at him, my face full of confusion. Haru continued, "Okay. It may not make sense. Have you actually spoken to him? One on one, I mean."
I thought about it, "Well ya, the first time I met him... though that was in the principal's office. A few times after that too but it mostly ended up in his having some sort of argument."
"Have you ever been alone when speaking with him? Having a proper conversation."
I shook my head. Now that I think about it, I haven't.
"I think it'd be a good idea to get to know this guy, even if it's just to figure out what he's got that's making you feel uncomfortable."
I shook my head again, this time more to myself. "That's the funniest part. It's not uncomfortable. Not at all. It's just... odd. Like I'm a puppet and he's the puppeteer and although he doesn't know it, every time he moves, I move with him."
I growled, none of this is making any sense!
I felt a soothing hand at my back, rubbing in circles.
I looked up to find Haru looking at me kindly as if he knew my inner turmoil. "I tell you what. How about you just forget about him tonight? Have fun, we'll party like we partied when I took you guys to your first club experience."
I laughed, "You're just a bad influence. How did you become the Student Council President?"
He smirked, "I was popular and I had the teacher's wrapped around my fingers. Easy as that."
"Well beware, I'll wipe your name as 'Commander' out of everyone's minds."
"Oh really, young grasshopper?"
I smirked, "Soon the student will surpass the master."
We both started laughing, our laughter interrupted by Sou's appearance in the kitchen.
"Well, what's got both of you in such good moods?"
I smiled, crossed my arms and leaned back in my chair, "Just telling Haru how I'll be surpassing him in the near future."
"Damn Haru-nii, Yuki's challenging you. What you gonna do?"
"Oh I'm not worried; my legacy at that school cannot be changed by Yuki. I was way cooler."
"Ya? Well did you know that Yuki's got his own fan club now?"
Haru's eyes went wide, "What?"
"Sou!"
Sou merely laughed, "What? I think it's awesome."
"Oh ya, you would. I don't particularly like having a group of girls stalk me."
Haru seemed to get over his shock, replying mockingly, "Oh? Would you rather have it be a group of boys?"
I punched Haru hard in the arm, "Ya right."
"Don't be fooled, it's not just a bunch of girls, Haru-nii."
This time Haru wasn't the only one who was shocked, "What does that mean?" we both asked at the same time.
Sou looked at me as if I were crazy. "You mean you don't know?"
The confusion on my face intensified, "Know what?"
"That there are guys in that fan club too."
I couldn't help it; my mouth fell open by itself.
"Believe it or not Yuki, you've become popular with both sexes."
"But... but..."
"Things have changed Yuki. The guys know you now, well not know know but they know enough about you to know that you're not trying to get every single guy's girl. They've realised they were wrong to suspect you from the beginning."
"Are you serious?" I asked disbelieving.
Sou smiled slightly, "Ya, Minagawa came up to me after school ended today and he actually told me to apologize for what happened between you guys during 1st year."
This time Haru spoke up, "Better late than never. Is he still misbehaving?"
Sou laughed, "Nah, I think he was too afraid after you beat his ass when we were in 1st year to even approach any of us again, well until now that is."
"Serves him right, actually thinking Yuki would try and steal his girlfriend and then spreading around all those womaniser rumours about him, that chick was a whore. She tried to seduce me too."
"Oo! Me three!"
The brothers high-fived and then turned to me realising that I hadn't spoken up for a while.
"Yuki? You alright?"
I looked up into Sou's worried eyes and smiled. "Finally."
He smiled back and ruffled up my hair. "Now that's a smile."
"Shut up." I said as I laughed and swatted his hand away from my hair.
"Okay, I'm going to get ready. You guys are always way too enthusiastic."
"It's not called enthusiastic when you get there on time, Haru."
"It's called being fashionably late, Yuki." He said matter-of-factly and with that he walked out of the kitchen.
"The party's starting in 10 minutes, Haru-nii! We have to pick up Seiji and Aki first so we're leaving without you!"
"Okay! I'll meet you guys there." He shouted back.
I scooped the last spoonful of ice-cream into my mouth, picking up both bowls and putting them into the sink. "Even though he knows where the club is, why do I have this feeling he's going to get lost again?"
Sou laughed, "I know, that's half the fun."
I shook my head at him in amusement as Sou grabbed his keys and we made our way to his car.
Don't think about him, don't think about him, don't think about him.
When we arrived at the club the hype had already started.
We parked in Sou's usual spot and made our way to the entrance, Sou ahead of us all while Seiji, Aki and I walked behind him in a row.
We walked up to the front, ignoring the long line of people and gained immediate entrance to the club, getting our hands stamped to show that we were 18 (and could drink) and grabbing a mask as we came in.
The masks were really cool. Black masks with slashes of white and neon colours.
A smile made its way across my face as I saw the amount of people at the party. There was just something awesome about not being able to recognize anyone.
The club was built so that upon entrance you were already on the middle floor. The bottom floor was the dance floor and was also the bar area and then there were booths on either side of the dance floor where people could relax. The middle floor was similar in that it also had a bar area albeit smaller and the feel was more private, and then lastly the top floor which was VIP.
We made our way immediately to the bottom floor. The music was booming and the crowds were already going wild.
"I really didn't think it would be this full already, it's only 22h40!" Sou shouted over the crowd.
"Well this is gonna be the last one ever, so I guess people are getting pretty hyped!" I shouted back.
Sou and I made our way to the bar while Seiji and Aki went to get us a table.
We got to the edge of the bar and Sou immediately leaned over, making eye contact with the blonde bar-tender.
"Arisa-chan! Can I get 4 of my usual please?"
The girl smirked, "Wow Sou, 4 at once?"
"Nah it's for Yuki too." He said, pointing in my direction. "And Seiji and Aki are back at the table."
She finally seemed to recognize me and gave me a big smile. "Well if it isn't the Prince himself. Why thank you for gracing us with your presence." She said, bowing slightly.
I blushed, "School's been keeping me busy, sorry for not showing up more often during the holiday."
"No problem, at least you're here now, right?"
"Hells yeah!" Sou said, draping his arm over my shoulder.
Arisa-san soon had our 4 drinks up and ready. Sou and I picked up the drinks and made our way to the table.
We had all had very noticeable clothing on so that we could find each other relatively easily. Although Sou had mentioned that the party was about meeting new people, since we were moderating the party so-to-speak we felt it necessary that we would be able to signal each other should trouble arise.
"Thanks." Seiji said as he grabbed the two drinks in Sou's hand and passed one down to Aki who was sitting at the end of the table and in the middle of the couch which turned in a semi-circle.
I sat down and passed the other drink in my hand to Sou.
"So, I got a request." Seiji's deep voice stated after a few moments of silence.
Sou and I turned our eyes to Seiji with delight and then back to each other, "Yay!" We shouted in unison, giving each a high-five.
" So when is this party?" Sou asked inquisitively.
"Only next month, but I was thinking we could come up with 1 or 2 new songs and then play 1 of the favourites."
We all nodded in agreement. "So when are we gonna start?" I asked.
"Well I was thinking we could start Tuesday after school. Aki and I are both free."
"Yeah I don't mind, my duties will die down as the weeks pass. I'll still be a bit busy but my Tuesdays are free."
"Ya, I'm free too."
"Well of course you're free. When are you ever busy?" Seiji said with a smirk.
I laughed in Sou's face which was slightly red out of embarrassment.
"Whatever, Seiji! I have stuff to do too, you know!"
"Really?" Seiji grinned, "Like what?"
Sou stuttered, "S-stuff... it's none of your business."
I joined Seiji and smirked. "Wanker."
Sou seemed to have no more words since he replied by giving me the middle finger.
I gulped back the last of my drink. "Anyone want refills?" I asked.
Sou nodded enthusiastically while Seiji and Aki merely shook their heads.
"Okay, I'll be back soon."
"Need me to go with you?"
I scoffed at Sou, "What do I look like? Some girl needing protection?"
Sou grinned, "Well now that I get a closer look..."
It was my time to pull middle-finger. "Screw you."
Kazuki and I made our way through the club entrance. Finally. Fuck that line was long.
I walked to the edge of the railing over-looking the dance-floor. The club was packed. Kazuki and I put our masks on and made our way down the stairs. Kazuki seemed to be leading us to the bar when we got to the bottom floor.
He leaned against the edge of the bar and ordered two drinks from a blonde bar-tender and we stood there waiting, looking over the crowd of people on the dance floor.
I wonder if Yuki's here already. I shook my head, trying to get him out of my head and then promptly growled inside my head when I realised something else, even if he is, he's probably here with that fucker.
Kazui shook my shoulder and I turned to face him, realising that we were no longer alone.
"I want you to meet someone. This is Nidou Kagura."
A busty brunet held out her hand to me. She had this stalker look in her eyes which made me almost regret shaking her hand. She held it firmly almost not wanting to let it go. I had to pull a bit harder to get my hand out of her grip but finally she released it.
"So, your name is?"
"Sohma Kyo." I answered, knowing exactly what her next line would be.
"Oh? Sohma? Are you related to the President by any chance?"
It's always the same fucking question about the same fucking asshole.
"No." I answered, a sharp tone in my voice which I hoped carried the fact that I didn't want to talk about it any longer.
Kagura didn't seem to get the hint.
"Oh really?" She asked disappointedly. "What a pity? He's so beautiful and he's got brains too. I doubt there's something he isn't brilliant at."
I didn't know what happened next but words started flowing from my mouth without my realising it.
"Well the guy's so uptight so I really don't understand why everyone's got him on such a high pedestal. He's really nothing special. I've spoken to the guy and if anything he's boring at best."
Through the mask I could see Kagura's eyes go wide and then suddenly they narrowed almost ... passionately. "Ya definitely, he's nothing spe-"
Before Kagura could finish what she was saying, a loud "Woah" from behind us sounded and a glass slammed against the counter. Everyone in the close proximity to the bar-area seemed to have been caught by it too because when we turned to see what the commotion was about we realised we weren't the only ones staring at the blonde bar-tender who was gaping at the person in front of her who seemed to be downing another drink.
"...Prince? You okay?"
"I'm fine." The person replied curtly and then promptly turned around, bumping into Kagura and murmuring a soft "Sorry" before making their way through the crowd again.
Probably a second later the area around the bar seemed back to normal again and it seemed that only I was still stuck in a trance wondering who the stranger could've been.
"Kyo? Are you okay?"
I turned to Kagura, only noticing now that she was still there, "Ya. Ya, I'm fine. I wonder who that was."
"Who cares? Who would want to know such a rude and disrespectful person anyway?"
I nodded my head in half-hearted agreement, still looking in the direction that the stranger disappeared.
Kazuki grabbed my arm to get my attention again, "Come on. What are you spacing out for? We're gonna head up a level."
"Yeah, I got it. I'm coming."
I followed up the stairs after Kazuki. After we got to the top Kazuki and Kagura had met up with some more people, taking seats at the table. I stood against the railing my eyes following through the crowds trying to look for that stranger again.
What the hell? I don't even know what or who I'm looking for. I sighed turning my back and leaning against the railing instead, looking at Kazuki and Kagura socialising.
Why do I feel like something's missing?
I made my way back to the table, furious out of my mind.
What the fuck does he mean "uptight"? I'm not fucking uptight!
I could notice that voice from anywhere. It was Kyo. And the fact that it was Kyo and not some random guy seemed to infuriate me even more.
Sou caught sight of me, standing up at arrival. I realised briefly that more people had joined our table.
"Hey, what took you so lo- Where's my drink?"
"Drank it."
"You drank it? Then where's yours?"
"Drank that too."
Before Sou could speak up again, I interrupted him.
"Someone dance with me."
I realised the other two people who were at the table. It was Shinobu and Haru. Shinobu stood up quickly, "Well I won't mind."
I grabbed his hand and was about to make my way to the dance-floor until I heard Haru complain, "Hey! That's unfair nii-san! I want to dance with Yuki too."
Ignoring Haru's protests and letting go of Shinobu's hand I made my way ahead of the older Sano brothers and moving through the crowd, headed right for the middle of the dance-floor.
Shinobu finally made his way to me. "I haven't seen you for a week and I don't even get a 'hello'?" he inquired.
I smiled a little, "Sorry, Shin-nii. I was suddenly put in a really bad mood." I hugged him, "Hi."
I felt him hug back and laugh slightly. "So Ayame has taught you manners."
I laughed slightly as I pulled away, "Why yes he has." I looked around suddenly noticing Haru's absence. "Where's Haru gone?"
"He's gone over to Rei at the turn tables. Something about knowing how to get you to smile again."
As if on cue, Haru made his way towards us. "And wait for it." He said with a smile on his face.
I could dream of ways to see you
I could close my eyes to dream
I could fantasize about you
Tell the world what I believe
I finally realised what song was playing and a smile broke out on my face, my mood immediately lightening a bit even though I was still a bit angry at the remarks.
But whenever I'm not with you
It's so hard for me to see
I need to see a picture of you
A special picture just for me, yeah
"My first club song." I said, awestruck.
So take a dirty picture for me
Take a dirty picture
Just take a dirty picture for me
Take a dirty picture
Just send the dirty picture to me
Send the dirty picture
Just send the dirty picture to me
Send the dirty picture, picture, picture, picture, picture
A wide grin broke across my face as my eyes closed and my hips moved to the beat on its own accord and as I got lost in the beat I faintly heard Haru shouting, "Now that's what I'm talking about!"
"Whenever you are gone
I just wanna be wit' ya
Please don't get me wrong
I just wanna see a picture"
I sang along as my hips continued to move, Shinobu and Haru moving up close to dance up behind me and in front of me.
Take a dirty picture for me
Take a dirty picture
Take a dirty picture for me
Take a dirty picture
My eyes opened again, my smile as clear as day on my face. My eyes travelled along the middle floor just in time to see someone turn around and make eye contact.
My smile slipped slowly from my face as my eyes met red ones. There's only one person I know with eyes like those.
I could feel in my very being that the person I was looking at was Kyo.
Kyo seemed entranced by my movements and I could see him and his friend looking at me with intrigue in their eyes. Not like they know who I am. Might as well show Kyo just how wrong he is.
Not breaking eye-contact I moved my hips more slowly with the slow part of the song returning.
The dream of ways to see you
I could close my eyes to dream
Fantasize about this with you
But the way is never seen, oh
Kyo's eyes seemed trained on me and as I felt the beat of the song return I started to dance somewhat provocatively. Placing my index finger in my mouth and biting, watching Kyo's eyes narrow in on my finger, before removing it and smirking.
Uh, snap, snap, snap
Whenever you are gone
I just wanna be wit' ya
Please don't get me wrong
I just wanna see your picture
It was as if Kyo and I were in our own world. It was like one of our glaring competitions except completely different. The air around us was like static and I wondered if he knew who I was, a small part of me hoping that he did.
"When you're all alone, boy
I got something to give ya
Will ya play along
If I take a dirty picture"
I sang, my eyes still completely trained on Kyo.
Take a dirty picture for me
Take a dirty picture
Take a dirty picture for me
Take a dirty picture
Send the dirty picture to me
Send the dirty picture
Send the dirty picture to me
Send the dirty picture, picture, picture, picture
Snap, uh, snap, snap
Click, click, snap
Even as the song came to an end and the next song continued in its place, Kyo and I continued to look at one another.
Our eye contact was broken as Haru hugged me suddenly and then I felt Shinobu hug me too.
"Aniki, why are you hugging Yuki too?"
I felt Shinobu shrug against my back. "I felt left out."
I laughed and hugged Haru before turning around in the hug, albeit awkwardly, and hugged Shinobu too.
"Thank you."
Shinobu and Haru both smiled back at me, having let me out of the hug, and Shinobu answered, "Anything we can do to make Yuki-chan feel better."
I looked down at my shoes guiltily before sighing and smiling back up at them.
I took each of their hands and led the way back to our table.
I've really got to put a lid on whatever's going in my mind about Kyo. I'm affecting even the people around me.
As I was leaning against the railing I saw Kazuki climb out of his seat and make his way over to me.
He stood next to me facing the same direction and watched the rest of the guys half-heartedly.
"What's up? Not having fun?" He asked softly.
I groaned, "It's not that... I've just got a lot on my mind lately and it's sort of pissing me the hell off."
I heard Kazuki laugh over the roar of the crowd, "Well who better to piss you off than yourself right?"
I snorted, Yeah and a purple-haired demon.
We stood there in silence before we heard a voice which seemed to come from the dance floor, "Now that's what I'm talking about!"
I kept my eyes in front of me, Kazuki being the more inquisitive one turned around to face the dancing crowd.
The song that was playing was quite catchy and before I could control myself I was nodding slightly to the beat.
I suddenly felt Kazuki nudge me roughly. "Dude! Dude! Check this out, it's hot!"
I turned around and immediately made eye contact with the person standing dead centre in the middle, with someone in front and behind them, dancing to the beat, their smile fading a bit and I wondered briefly if it were because of me. Oh ya right because they definitely know who you are, Kyo!
"Damn, do you think that's a dude? He's got some hips."
I didn't answer, my eyes were way too enraptured by the person in front of me. The stranger seemed like a guy but if it were why the hell would I be so taken in by him.
I saw the stranger put their finger in their mouth and bite slightly. My eyes zoned in on those lips and I felt this strange urge to join the stranger on the dance-floor and having my body up against theirs instead of those other two bastards.
I saw the stranger smirk. Slightly irritated with myself that they seemed to know exactly what I was thinking.
Why the fuck do those eyes look so familiar?
The beat picked up again and the stranger moved their hips more seductively and almost deliberately as if purposefully trying to get a rise out of me.
Yuki?
My eyes didn't break contact even after my mind spoke the name. As the stranger danced more and more, the more I felt as if I knew them, as if it were Yuki dancing there.
Are you stupid, Kyo? What the hell as gotten into you? What does that purple-haired ass have to do anything with the person dancing right now?
I saw his mouth moving, singing along with the words of the song and the urge to have him – have Yuki! my mind seemed to scream – moving against me came back even stronger this time.
We were in our own world now and as I noticed those violet-coloured orbs once more I couldn't deny that every fibre of my being said it was Yuki and the fact that I didn't mind it at all was entirely too odd.
The song came to an end and the next song picked up almost immediately, yet Yuki and I still held each other's gazes until someone hugged him and then a second later I saw him being hugged by the person behind him as well.
I watched Yuki hug the guy in front of him and then turn to hug the guy behind him and I swiftly turned around to lean against the railing again. I was seething. I felt enraged. More so than when I met that douche Haru.
I promptly turned around to see if one of the guys were Haru but realised that I was too late and that the trio had already made their way off the dance-floor.
I slammed my fist against the railing, Kazuki's voice breaking me out of my inner-rage.
"Hey, are you sure you're okay?"
Kagura came up to me at that exact moment too. Clinging to my arm and uncaringly rubbing my arm between her breasts which just seemed to disgust me.
"Hey... why don't we get out of here? Just you and me."
I pulled my arm out of her grasp roughly. "No thanks. I'm just gonna get some air."
Kagura seemed ready to scream at the top of her lungs and attack me for rejecting her offer but Kazuki quickly sent her off to the group of friends again before following me quickly.
"Do you want me to come with you?"
"No! I just want to get some damn air!"
"Okay, just go outside, call me if you wanna go back to the dorm again." Kazuki said calmly and I felt slightly regretful that I had been so harsh with him.
I growled, "Sorry, okay. I just need some time to think. I'll be back soon."
I made my way through the crowd and out the door. I walked down a little way and turned the corner. I sat down against the wall removing my mask and breathed in deeply.
I'm going out of my mind here. What the hell am I gonna do?
"Hey there, we saw the way you were moving in the club. Wanna have some fun with us?"
I lifted my gaze from my knees and looked to the right of me. What's going on?
My eyes widened as I realised who they were talking to – a drunk Yuki, who seemed to be finding it hilarious that three huge guys seemed to be towering over him.
"Er, no thanks. I don't like to hang out with guys on steroids." I heard Yuki's reply.
The guy in the middle didn't seem to be finding Yuki's response as funny as Yuki himself was and he seemed ready to punch Yuki's face in.
Oh fuck.
I stood up hurriedly and ran to Yuki, pulling him slightly behind me. "Is there a problem here?"
"What are you doing?" I heard Yuki whisper harshly to me.
"I'm saving your ass, that's what I'm doing." I hissed.
The guys didn't seem to be very happy that we were no longer paying any attention to them and the guy in the middle pulled his fist back, seemingly ready to punch me.
I caught his fist with my left hand and punched him square in the stomach with my right.
"Muscles like yours aren't all that." I said, sneering down at him as he clutched his stomach.
"Fuck you, dude." His friend said and seemed to be ready to attack if he were told to.
"Leave them, they don't matter." The guy on the ground said and I looked at them a bit surprisingly. Giving up so easily?
As they were leaving, I turned to Yuki to ask if he was okay and before I knew it Yuki spun me so quickly around that I fell to the ground and ended up looking at the sky in confusion.
Yuki appeared above me again in a matter of seconds, offering his hand to me.
I took it, not entirely sure about what happened.
"Are you okay?" He asked, concern laced in his voice and his eyes.
"What the hell was that?"
"Never turn your back on your opponent. Did your dad never teach you that?"
I groaned, "The fucker raced back for me, didn't he?"
Yuki smiled slightly and I don't think I've ever thought of a guy as cute before but he seemed to be an exception.
"Ya, he did."
I turned around and looked at the three guys lying on the pavement.
"What the fuck?" I asked, looking back at Yuki for answers.
"You forget what I've got my black-belt for?"
I rolled my eyes, "I remember. Please don't mention it again."
I looked around and noticed he was alone.
"Where were you going and why are you alone?"
This seemed to turn his mood sour and I instantly regretted asking him.
"I can take care of myself, if you haven't noticed." He said, motioning down to the three motionless bodies on the floor next to us.
"Says the one who was laughing at them initially."
"Says the one who turns his back on his opponent during a fight." Yuki replied haughtily.
"Well I'll show you right now how I can beat your tiny ass!"
I saw Yuki get fed up and he was about to shout something back in response before he just stopped and took a deep breath and blew it out slowly.
"I'm sorry but can we continue this some other time? I'm in no mood to fight, especially with you."
"Says the one who knocked down 3 guys a few seconds ago." I replied with a smirk.
At this Yuki smiled and laughed a bit and I suddenly felt elated that I was the reason behind it happening.
"Now that's a different story."
We both ended up laughing and when our laughter died down Yuki spoke up. "So... I guess I'll see you at school or something?"
"Huh?" I replied dumbly.
"I... I was heading home."
"You were gonna walk?"
He seemed to blush slightly in response, "Yeah... My house isn't far from here. My younger sister, well she doesn't want to leave yet and I was going to wait for her but she managed to secure a lift with one of her friends and since I didn't want to bother anyone else, I insisted that I could take myself." He said, with an almost prideful tone. Adding the next part with humour, "I am a big boy after all."
I snorted at that, "Maybe in ego ya but definitely not in height."
He hit me on the arm playfully and mumbled, "Shut up." A definite blush overtaking his cheeks now. "It's getting late so I better go." Yuki tried again.
"It's barely midnight." I said, not sure why I was protesting.
"I'll have you know that my usual bed-time is around 10pm."
I laughed and then before I knew what I was saying, I just blurted out the first thing that was on my mind. "Want me to walk you home?"
Yuki's face went bright red, his eyes widening to the size of saucers and when I finally realised what I had said, my face seemed to mimic his.
"No! That's not what I meant!" I screamed out, eager to try and make my words disappear.
His shocked expression turned into one of confusion, "Is there another definition to 'Want me to wal-'" Before he could finish his sentence, I covered his mouth with my hand, not wanting to hear what I had said again.
His eyes widened again and I could practically feel his body tense up.
I removed my hand quickly, "Do you want me to walk you or not?" I blurted out, my voice full of embarrassment. Fan-fucking-tastic Kyo, scream at him and make him hate you even more. He'll probably never say yes now.
"Er.. okay?"
I looked at Yuki confused. "You're okay with it?"
He shrugged, "My house is close by car but it's just a bit of a distance when walking. Company would be nice."
I think I was day-dreaming a bit because I could have sworn that I saw hope flicker in his eyes.
I couldn't stop the almost dopey smile from reaching my lips. "Company it is."
A/N: So there it is. Please review to tell me what you think.
I was planning on writing more but somehow I felt as if this would be a nice end to the 4th chapter, don't worry I will be writing about their walk to Yuki's house.
I'm currently writing finals so although this chapter is a bit later than I would have liked, it is longer than my previous chapters. It may be a couple days till my next update but I've got a couple of days free before my next paper, starting from this Tuesday, so I'll try my best to write a bit more during that time. I know I'm ranting sorry, just thought I'd let my few viewers know that it's gonna be a rough couple of weeks for a bit since my exams stretch over 6 weeks and I'm currently only in my 2nd week (with 2 exams tomorrow! Eeek!). Anyway, I'll study hard and write when I can. Hope you guys continue to follow the story though. I'll try my best to update when I can :)
