Hey, it's Luka. Ah, so recently I've been reading this manga called Kamisama Hajimemeshita/Kamisama Kiss. I'm totally in love with it, it's amazing~ I know that Nanami is in love with Tomoe and stuff in the manga and Tomoe is obviously straight but I can't help but ship him and Mizuki together. My inner fangirl is way too persuasive so I decided to write this. I hope to make it long enough but not too long becuase I'll eventually give up if it drags on forever.

From Winter to Spring

The reason my feelings started to change…surely it was because of that snake, Mizuki. It was like the shifting of seasons, so simple yet complex. Even now, I just can't figure out why I of all people fell in love with him.

~FWTS~

All was quiet in the shrine as I went about making breakfast, I had been careful not to wake up Nanami or that idiotic snake.

Suddenly I hear the light creaking of floorboards as Mizuki stepped into the kitchen lazily rubbing one eye. He looked disheveled, his kimono hanging off one shoulder revealing his milky white skin.

I glare at him as he stops for a moment to yawn his cheeks redder than a tomato. I move over in front of him gingerly fixing his kimono "You idiot snake, what if Nanami saw you like that?" I hiss.

He smiles "Sorry, I'm just a bit tired. Thanks." He says dismissing my insult. I sigh and return to preparing breakfast "Che, what's with you lately? You've been waking up early and going to bed late, you even make weird sounds in your sleep." I say.

He freezes a little squirming in his spot averting his eyes "It's nothing." He says. I stare at him for a moment before finishing the meal "Whatever you say, if you fall ill I won't be the one to blame." I mutter.

Mizuki looks at me through his deep green eyes "You're so cruel Tomoe-chan~" he says teasingly. I twitch disgusted "Stop trying to act cute this early, I might throw up." I growl.

Mizuki only looks slightly disheartened "My apologies, Tomoe." He says dryly moving past me and out into the garden. I look after him "What's with the sudden change in attitude?" I murmur pressing my fingers to my lips.

Nanami comes rushing in, her hair messy and her clothes thrown on carelessly "Tomoe, why didn't you wake me up earlier?" she asks. I look at her "I wasn't aware you had any engagements today, I was going to let you sleep in." I reply.

She stops with an exasperated smile "No, it's alright. Guess I forgot to tell you, I'm going to help Kurama today at his apartment. He's rearranging and well I didn't have anything to do today, you and Mizuki can relax today alright?" she says shoving on her shoes.

I stop "That tengu? Since when did you two get so friendly?" I ask. Nanami just giggles "We're not so much as friends as we are acquaintances; he just needs someone to help him relax. I don't think he's all that bad." She says before exiting.

I watch as she runs off with an exasperated sigh, I look over at the food "Who's going to eat all of this?" I ask. I look outside at Mizuki who was perched on the patio his knees tucked under his chin.

I step outside "Oi, snake, do you want some of this food?" I ask reluctantly. He looks up at me, his face still flushed, "I'm not hungry, thanks though." He murmurs looking back up at the sky.

I look at him, his behavior was honestly starting to concern me, as well as tick me off. I go over to him and grab his arm pulling him up. I press my forehead to his, his flesh feels a bit warm "Do you have a fever or something?" I ask my tail flicking back and forth.

He looks frightened and he shivers under my touch, I release him my ears twitching as he shakes his head "It's not that." He says his brow furrowing. He clutches his left arm looking everywhere but at me.

"Well, what is it?" I hiss impatiently. He clenches his kimono the fabric ruffled in between his fingers "I…I'm in heat, or something to that extent." He says meeting my eyes finally.

I open my mouth halfway my eyes wide, he sighs and runs his fingers through his hair with a dark blush "It's never happened before, usually it's only the females who experience it…something must be wrong with my body." He says.

His eyes search mine "…This is…uh, a bit awkward. Isn't it?" He says rubbing the back of his neck shyly. I reach out for his arm instinctively I meet his eyes "How do we fix it." I ask.

I feel him pull away from my touch slightly as he bites his lip "Don't ask me such an embarrassing question, Tomoe." He says. I tighten my grip on his upper arm "What do you mean?" I demand.

He turns to me his eyes light with annoyance "Tomoe-kun, if I tell you, what will you do?" he asks. I pause glaring at him "I'll fix it." I say. Mizuki looks slightly angry and he leans forward until our faces are barely an inch apart.

His lips almost brush mine as he talks his eyes daring "When a female snake goes into heat it means she's ready to mate." He says wrenching himself from my grip. He moves away from me his chest heaving and he clutches the neck of his kimono.

I'm frozen in my spot as I watch Mizuki smile wryly at me "You can't fix it, idiot fox. I'm going out for a while." He says turning from me.

I snap back into reality and quickly reach out my hand grasping his; he looks at me bewildered as I pull his face to mine our lips meeting roughly. He grips my kimono his eyes squeezing shut fiercely.

He pushes me away tears falling from his eyes "Stop! Don't Tomoe, we can't do this." He says looking hurt. I feel my heart thump with guilt, had I done the wrong thing?

"There's a difference between your job and what you want, Tomoe. I can't allow you to 'fix' this if you think it's your 'duty' to do so. Kissing is something you want to do with someone you love. And you obviously do not love me." he says trembling.

He turns away and runs off quickly and I'm left here at the shrine alone.
