34# Seven Deadly Sins

"You know, gluttony is one of the seven deadly sins," Momiji remarked as he popped yet another chocolate in his mouth. His stomach protested feebly as it stretched against his belt painfully.

"And you would know, I'm sure," Tohru teased.

Momiji threw his hands up in the air helplessly. "Can I help it if all of the women in our grade are lusting after me? What am I supposed to do with all of this Valentine's Day chocolate?"

Tohru laughed again, and the sound of it made Momiji smile softly.

They were lounging comfortably on the sofa at Shigure's place. The television was on, just a few levels above mute, but Momiji and Tohru were paying it no mind. Heart-shaped boxes were strewn all over the place, some half-empty. Tohru was helping Momiji with his chocolates this year. The fangirl attacks had increased dramatically as of late, especially ever since he had hit that growth spurt. Momiji vaguely wondered what Tohru thought about all of these girls fawning over him.

"Well, I certainly don't want you to be a glutton," Tohru said lightly. "Maybe I should save you by becoming greedy and stealing all the chocolates for myself?"

"Tohru? Greedy? No," Momiji mock-gasped. He gave a big stretch and then collapsed backwards, resting his head in her lap. It was a good thing Yuki and Kyo weren't around. He probably would have been punched by now.

Tohru blinked at him and said, in complete, if not rather bemused, honesty, "Well, if it helps a friend . . ."

Momiji snickered at that and snuggled a little closer. Really, Tohru was just too kind-hearted. She would even sacrifice her own integrity in order to help others. People like that didn't appear too often.

Momiji snagged another box and offered it to Tohru. Smiling, she picked out a chocolate and took a bite. Momiji found it hard not to get distracted by the movement of her lips. But then Tohru made a face.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

With great effort, Tohru swallowed. "It's coconut," she said with a grimace.

"What are you talking about? Coconut is one of the best flavors!" Momiji exclaimed, seizing the other half of the chocolate and popping it in his mouth without another word. As the deliciousness melted on his tongue, a naggy voice kept reminding him that that piece of chocolate had touched Tohru's lips, the ones that were so utterly distracting, especially when there was a small smudge of chocolate in the corner.

Momiji decided not to tell her about that little fact just yet; it was rather amusing. He shuffled the chocolates around in the box until he found a particular piece. "Here, that's a raspberry filling one. I know you like them," he said, holding it out.

Tohru cocked her head and raised her eyebrows quizzically. "How can you tell? They all look the same to me."

"Just trust me," Momiji stated, holding it closer.

Tohru hesitated before opening her mouth, and Momiji fed her the chocolate. Instantly, Tohru's expression melted in delight. Momiji chuckled. He knew he had been right.

That smudge of chocolate was still there . . .

Momiji sat up a little, staring at her. Tohru noticed and asked, "What is it, Momiji-kun? Do I have something on my face?"

Momiji frowned. Most likely, he would have to face the wrath of Kyo or Yuki for what he had done when they found out. But at the moment, Momiji almost didn't care. His chest was fluttering excitedly, almost daring the other two boys telepathically. Let them be jealous. Let them be envious. Not even they could alter what had already passed.

"Momiji?" Tohru asked one last time, and he could see the way her eyes widened at how close they were, he could feel the warm caress of her quickening breaths against his cheeks.

He kissed her. The taste of all of the various chocolates blended together in a flavor so heavenly it was all that Momiji could do not to get too rough or embrace Tohru tightly. That would ruin it. So he kept it relatively chaste, and when he felt the last of his self-control slipping, he firmly grabbed Tohru's shoulders and pushed her away.

"There. It's all gone now," Momiji said quietly, lowering his eyes.

It seemed the fangirls weren't the only ones committing the sin of lust.
