Hey everyone! OMG I'm SOOOOOOOOO SORRY… :'( I know I've made you all wait over a year… I feel terrible… I just got so busy with school and everything… I am so sorry… But I promise you that I have a lot in store for the story!
Recap:
"Tohru…. I think you are a beautiful girl. Any guy would be lucky to have you…" he said. "I…I promise to never leave your side. I care about you… Too much to let you go…" Yuki hugged Tohru. She was shocked and a few tears went down her cheek. She didn't know how to respond. "Yuki…. i…."
The moon set a beautiful glow over the two in front of the lake. Tohru had tears, still, coming out of her eyes from what Yuki had just told her. She felt Yuki's arms loosen and he pulled back from the hug and looked into her eyes. "You..?" he asked, quietly. She stared into his eyes and let out slow shaky breaths. She started to shake her head slowly. "I don't know….what I think about you…." She said, slowly and her heart broke when she saw the sadness in his eyes that he was trying to hide. 'You mean so much to me but…. how do I feel about you…?' she thought.
Yuki saw the confused and hurting look on her face. He smiled softly even though that's not what he was feeling. He hugged her again. "Tohru…. I love you…. Please… Just take your time… you don't need to tell me how you feel now…."
'Even if it's something I don't want to hear…' Yuki added in his mind. He pulled back from the hug and wiped the tears off her cheeks and kissed her forehead. His smile still soft and he noticed the blush going across her cheeks. "Why don't you head back now… You're probably tired." She nodded and looked down. She started walking off, back to the house. He gave her a smile when she glanced back.
Tohru ran off back to the house and into her room. She threw herself on her bed and started crying. In her heart she knew how she felt, but she couldn't bring herself to say it. She felt so terrible. Her door was a crack open and Haru frowned as he watched her. He sighed and went out to the living room.
Yuki remained outside for a little while. He felt bad for doing this to Tohru at such a time. She was hurting. He didn't want it to seem like he was just doing it to take advantage of her. He sighed. He wasn't. The light from the moon was dimmed as clouds covered in. He looked up. Why did this have to happen? Why now? This could break Tohru. But she had him. The cat and perverted dog weren't here so he had to help her more. He knew the cat felt the same. The way things were, he felt that she cared for him more.
He sighed. He didn't want to think about this right now. He looked up when the clouds passed and the moon's light shone once more. He turned and started back to the house.
Waiting for him was Haru. He was sitting there in the living room. "Welcome back." Yuki jumped. "Oh… Haru… I didn't see you there." Haru raised an eyebrow. "What happened out there?" He stood, crossing his arms. Yuki was silent for a moment. "Yuki?"
"I told her I love her…" Haru's eyebrows rose. "Really now?" He nodded. His face fell a little bit. Had she rejected him? Was that why she was crying? Was she upset that she made him upset? "How'd it go?" Yuki, again, was silent. He plopped down on the couch.
He told Haru all about what happened. He just felt that maybe it was the wrong time. When he did it, it seemed right…
Haru sighed. "I'm sure everything will be fine between you two… why don't you head to bed? It's been a long night." Yuki nodded and mumbled thanks before stalking off into his room. He dropped on his bed and sighed. He rolled over onto his back and stared up at the ceiling for a while before closing his eyes and trying to sleep.
While finally on the brink of sleep, he heard his door creak open. He groaned and sat up, squinting to see who it was in the darkness. He saw the small silhouette and knew who it was. "Um… did I wake you?" She whispered softly in the dark. "No.. no… Whats wrong…?" She burst into tears and came over to him. "Hey…" he cooed, taking her hand. "I had a dream about Amber… It ch-changed into a n-nightmare and… I witnessed her being killed…" She said in between sobs.
He pulled her down onto the bed and into his arms. She cried into his chest. "Shhh…. It was just a dream…"
"No it wasn't! She's still gone! It's my entire fault…"
"It's not your fault!" she went quiet. He turned the light on and looked her in the eye. "It's not your fault…" he wiped his thumbs on her cheeks. "Her dying was a tragedy… yes… but don't ever think it was your fault…" She leaned her head on his should, sniffling. He rubbed her back and reached over to the light. He turned it off and laid back with her. They snuggled together and she was soon asleep. He kissed the top of her head.. "Sweet dreams…" He soon fell asleep.
