Wounds of the Past

Chapter 4

I barely knew what went on after I passed out on the roof. There were times when I almost felt relief then I would hear his voice. My dear Yuki, I wonder how he is. I'm tired most of the time. Not knowing who comes in or out. There was a time where I woke and saw Yuki's face for just a second before I would drop back into unconsciousness. I guessed I was in a hospital for all the noise there was. Vaguely I would wonder if it were all just a dream. But deep down I knew it wasn't.

"hey you guys, carrot top is coming to" said Uo, who along with Hana had come to comfort Tohru.

"what…" Kyo wasn't able to finish for Yuki had pushed Tohru aside and hugged Kyo, mindful of Kyo's wounds.

"Kyo, you stupid, stupid cat" Yuki said. Only the others saw the tears that were running down Yuki's face.

"Kyo, I was scared, you had lost so much…" Yuki broke down and sobbed into Kyo's shoulder. "I love you, Kyo" whispered Yuki before getting up and running out. Everyone was silent all that is for Ayame.

"well, I say, my little brother in love. Who would of known" Kyo had already tuned him out.

Did I hear right could it be that Yuki really does love me. Or is he just saying it. I don't understand. I'm so confused. I have to tell him. I have to tell Yuki, I love him.

I can't believe I said it. But I had to. Those few times that he stopped breathing I thought I would die. I couldn't hold back any longer.

-5 months have passed-

Kyo had returned from the hospital. After saying he wanted to go home. (of course he didn't say it like that)

"welcome back, Kyo" said Tohru once he stepped in to door. Kyo looked around the house a bit then said:

"it's good to be back"

I wonder where Yuki is. Yuki was all I could think of after he left. Those three little word I always wanted to hear.

"Kyo" Yuki said. Kyo turned around at the sound of Yuki's voice. They stared at each other neither moving. They were so absorbed by each others presence that they didn't notice the others leave.

"Yuki, can I ask you a question?" Kyo said. Yuki didn't say anything just kept staring.

"What do you want?" Yuki asked.

"Is it true what you said at the hospital? Is it true that you love me?" asked Kyo. Yuki wasn't able to say anything for his eyes started to blur. Then he felt lips on his and then Kyo's voice.

"I love you, Yuki" Kyo whispered. Kyo was afraid to do anything so just stood there. Then Yuki closed the gap and smiled saying:

"I love you, too, Kyo" before placing his lips back on Kyo's.

On the other side of the door nine certain people had tears in their eyes and a look of pure joy on there faces.
