Disclaimer: Don't own Fruits Basket or the song. Song used: When You're Mad by Ne-Yo
Warning: This chapter is rated M for some situational things, implied sex, and language.
A/N: Yet another song fic for these two, though I give credit to SohmaElric91 for giving me the inspiration when she gave me the song. I have a few more ideas for this story arc, but I don't think it'll go more than another few chapters. Other than that, enjoy!
From outside of the house, no one could have guessed the terror that had been released inside. Those inside the house, however, had been practically scared out of their minds when Serina had first snapped. After the next three subsequent snaps, Yuki had suggested grocery shopping to Tohru and the two had left, followed shortly thereafter by Kyo, who said he was going to visit Sensei for the day. This left Shigure alone in the house with his overly sensitive girlfriend, which was exactly the way he wanted it.
"It's just the cutest thing
When you get to fussing (cussing)"
He could hear her in the living room, flipping through channels at a breakneck speed. With a small smirk on his face, he stepped into the doorway and looked down at the blonde, who was leaning heavily on the table, one palm under her chin to support it, and a bored look on her face.
"Anything good on?" he asked, surprised when she didn't jump at all.
She shrugged. "When is there ever anything good on TV?"
He chuckled. "Very true, I hadn't thought of it like that."
"Obviously," she rolled her eyes, though he couldn't see from his angle. "If you hadn't noticed, I don't watch TV for a reason."
"Yelling and throwing things
I just wanna eat you up"
"May I ask why you're watching now then?" he prodded, hoping he wouldn't hit a bad note with her.
"Because there's nothing better to do right now," she snapped. He jumped slightly at her sudden change in mood, but did his best not to show it as she looked over her shoulder at him. "What do you want anyway?"
"Nothing in particular. I just wanted to see how you were doing."
He immediately regretted that answer.
"See how I was doing? What the hell was wrong with me in the first place?" she threw the remote at his head then stormed out of the room.
"I don't mean no disrespect
When I start staring
Knowing that it makes you mad (uh oh)"
Rubbing a slightly sore temple, Shigure followed after her quickly. Now that he had figured out one trigger, he decided to avoid it as much as possible. He just hoped that the triggers didn't change every few minutes, as that would make his life a living hell until she got over this rather horrible mood swing.
He found her in the kitchen searching through the refrigerator for something. He stopped in the doorway, just in case he needed to duck out of the way of another flying object, before speaking. "Can I help you find something?"
"I know my way around this kitchen better than you do," she replied matter-of-factly. "I can find it on my own."
"Point taken," he said with a chuckle. "What are you looking for anyway?"
"The last of the peaches – I know I saw one in here yesterday."
"I think Yuki ate it yesterday..."
"I'm sorry that seeing you mad is sexy"
"God-fucking-damn it!" she screamed, grabbing the first thing within reach and throwing it at the floor. The apple flew into tiny pieces all over the kitchen floor, but she didn't care. She slammed the refrigerator door shut then walked off again quickly.
He watched her with a smirk. He hadn't been planning for that to happen, and he was a bit upset about losing an apple over a stolen peach, but he had to admit that watching her stalk away made it all worth it. The way her long ponytail swayed from side to side to accent how her hips swayed... Just the thought of it was intoxicating – seeing it was a whole different story.
"Could it be the lil' wrinkle over your nose
When you make your angry face
That makes me just want to take off all of your clothes
And sex you all over the place?"
She was reading in the living room when he found her again. Or, rather, she was attempting to read. Her mind kept wandering, going over everything that had happened during the day. She had snapped at Tohru for blushing for one reason or another, almost shoved Kyo down the stairs when he had said she'd been unreasonable with Tohru at breakfast, and screamed at Yuki when he had asked her to calm down. And now she had snapped at Shigure. Twice.
A soft sigh escaped her lips. Apparently, this whole pregnancy thing was going to be more of a pain than she had really expected it to be.
"Could it be the lil' way you storm around
That makes you want to tear you down
Baby, I ain't sure, but one thing I do know is"
Hearing his voice next to her made her jump – she hadn't even heard him walk into the room.
"Something on your mind?" he asked in a soothing voice.
She shook her head, forcing back as much of a blush as she could. "No, not at all. I'm just reading."
"Oh really? It looked to me like you were distracted by your thoughts." He sat down next to her and wrapped his arms around her waist gently.
"Every time you scream at me
I wanna kiss you
When you put your hands on me
I wanna touch you"
"Yes, really," she said, keeping her nose to her book. She was blushing quite noticeably now, but she ignored it in the hopes that he would too. Shigure, on the other hand, had his mind on something completely different.
He leaned close and whispered in her ear in a sultry voice. "I think you're lying," he whispered. "I think you just don't want to talk about it."
She shivered at the feeling of his breath against her ear. "No, really? What would have given you that idea?"
"Nothing at all," he whispered. "But tell me, is that book really so interesting that you want to ignore me because of it?" He trailed his fingers over her side slowly, causing her to shiver again.
"S-stop it," she said, shaking her head and still refusing to look at him. "I'm reading."
"And when we get to arguing
Just gotta kiss you
Baby, I don't know why it's like that
But you're just so damn sexy
When you're mad"
He pouted as he pulled back from her. "Fine, I'll leave you to your reading."
Standing, he walked toward the door. She hesitated for a moment before reaching out and grabbing the back of his yukata before he could make it out of her reach. He grinned to himself then covered it up with a look of surprise as he looked down at her. "Yes?"
"I was reading, you know, but you... you're so... you're good at..." She sighed in a frustrated manner then pouted up at him. "Do you really have to be so damn good at turning me on?"
"Baby, don't think I don't take you seriously
But I just can't help the fact that your attitude excites me (so exciting)"
"Are you saying I got your attention?" he asked as he got back down next to her.
"I'm saying that you better finish what you started before I really get angry," she replied, still pouting at him.
"And you know ain't nothing better
Then when we get
Mad together and have angry sex (I'll blow you out)
Then forget what we were mad about"
"I'm sorry," he said, his grin starting to show through his façade of surprise, "what was that?"
"Damn it Shigure, kiss me!" she yelled. He reached his arms around her waist gently but was honestly surprised when he felt her lips press against his in a demanding manner. He knew she was upset with him walking away in the first place, but he hadn't quite expected for her to try and take things into her own hands.
"Sorry," he murmured into the kiss, running one hand up her back and pulling her hair out of its usual ponytail. She shivered and tried to stop him, but he wouldn't hear of it. He pressed his whole body against hers as he laid her down on the floor, keeping her lips captured in the kiss to keep her from arguing.
"Could it be the lil' wrinkle over your nose
When you make your angry face
That makes me just want to take off all of your clothes
And sex you all over the place?"
Hands trailed over backs, down sides, and fumbled with clothing as the two kissed. It didn't take long at all until every piece of clothing had been tossed aside. Each wanted to have their own way with the other, but with Shigure on top, it was obvious to both who would be winning the battle in the end. Serina, however, was not about to be outdone.
She broke the kiss gently and whispered in his ear. "Shigure... I've been thinking for a while... are we ever going to make this living arrangement of ours permanent?"
"Permanent how?" he asked as he kissed across her collarbone softly.
"Could it be the lil' way you storm around
That makes you want to tear you down
Baby, I ain't sure, but one thing I do know is"
"Shigure," she moaned softly, "I want to know if you're ever going to marry me."
His eyes widened as he pulled back to regard her. As he realized she was completely serious, a bit of horror found its way to his eyes.
"You want me... to... what?!"
"Every time you scream at me
I wanna kiss you
When you put your hands on me
I wanna touch you"
She smirked and took advantage of the situation, flipping the pair over so that she had him pinned to the ground. He looked up at her with wide eyes for a moment then smirked back at her.
"You just couldn't resist having top, could you?" he asked.
"Not when it's so easy to push you around like that," she replied, her smirk widening.
"And when we get to arguing
Just gotta kiss you
Baby, I don't know why it's like that
But you're just so damn sexy"
A good half hour later, the pair lay entwined in each other's arms on the living room floor. Serina pulled herself a bit closer to Shigure and shivered slightly.
"Cold?" he asked, reaching for his yukata to pull over them.
"A bit, but I'm not surprised." When he looked at her with a raised eyebrow, she laughed. "It's rather easy to go from hot to cold when lying on a cold, hardwood floor," she explained.
"I suppose you're right," he chuckled, pulling the yukata over them both.
"And every time you scream at me
I wanna kiss you
When you put your hands on me
I wanna touch you"
"We're home!" Tohru called out happily, leading Yuki into the kitchen with a smile. When she received no reply, she assumed it meant both Shigure and Serina were asleep and paid no mind to it. "I'm going to make lunch now," she said to Yuki as he helped her put the groceries away. "Anything in particular that you'd like?"
"Perhaps some miso, since that cat isn't here," he replied with a smile. It didn't matter that the curse had been broken – to Yuki, Kyo would always be the cat and he would always be the rat to Kyo.
"All right, I'll get right on it," she said brightly, smiling back at him. He nodded then quietly withdrew to let her cook in peace.
"And when we get to arguing
Just gotta kiss you"
Serina fought back a yawn as she snuggled as close to Shigure as she could. He chuckled as he looked down at her. "Yuki and Tohru are home now," he said softly. "We should probably get up before they find us here."
"Don't wanna get up," came the muffled reply. "I'm comfortable here."
"There's always a chance that one of them will come back here though..."
She hmphed in reply and simply clung to him, not really registering what he was saying.
Baby, I don't know why it's like that
But you're just so damn sexy"
Yuki followed the soft voices he heard through the house, finally ending up at the living room. The screen door was slid open, but he wasn't exactly sure why that would be. He crept closer to the door, noticing that there were clothes lying on the floor. When he finally made it to the door, his eyes widened as he saw Shigure on the floor with Serina, covered only by his yukata.
"Shigure?" he asked. "What are you two doing—"
Serina immediately snapped out of her sleepy state and looked up at him with wide eyes.
"I told you someone might come back here," Shigure reminded her softly, laughing nervously.
She nodded slowly then glared at Yuki. "I swear, when I get up, I'm going to—"
"When you're mad"
Shigure cut her off by placing a hand over her mouth. "Yuki, I might suggest you run away for a little while, if you value your life at all."
