I do not own Fruits Basket.
Boy on boy. To an extent.
Coincidences
"It is," Hanajima said knowingly, "a very tragic day." She considered flinging an arm across her forehead for dramatic effect but decided against it. She was, if nothing else, always composed. It would be against her character to do such a thing.
Uotani stabbed her straw through the lid of her soft drink. "Do tell."
Hanajima adjusted her black dress, prolonging the silence so clearly laden with secrets. "Many of Souma-kun's fanclub will be disappointed," she stated at last, still avoiding the subject.
Uo snorted. "Big whoppin' deal." She rolled her eyes as they made their down the sidewalk toward the subways. "They're always spazzing over something or other."
"I think some of them may never recover from this shock," Hanajima said positively, looking rather happy about the whole thing. Or as happy as she ever let herself look; one must always maintain a blasé expression, after all.
Well, she certainly sounded happy in any case.
Uo raised a blonde eyebrow. "You sound positively gleeful," she observed astutely. "What's the big secret?"
"Well…"
Uo took a long, loud slurp of her drink. "Yeah?"
"Souma-kun has discovered something about himself."
"That's great." Seeing the frown twitching at the corner's of her friend's mouth, Uo sighed in resignation. "What is it?" she asked dutifully. It was too bad she didn't care at all about Prince Charming and his torrid love life, since it seemed to fascinate Hana so much. Well, if it ever involved Tohru… That'd be a different story altogether, Uo thought, picturing the Spanish Inquisition she'd put the poor boy through.
Hanajima's expression was deadpan, as ever. "He's discovered—"
"Holy—" Uo broke in with a sharp exclamation. "Is that Souma and Carrot Top?" She came to a stop at the top of the steps leading down to the subway station. On the landing halfway down, two very familiar boys were crowded up against the wall, kissing feverishly.
"—that he's gay," finished Hanajima somewhat gleefully.
Uo gaped at the scene, too shocked to make any noise.
A picture is worth a thousand words, Hanajima thought, allowing her lips to curve into a very small smile. But pair the two together…
Such a coincidence that the two boys just happened to be here, on Hanajima and Uo's route home. Not that there had been any conspiring between them, of course, to maybe convince certain psychotic fans to back off.
It was very lucky she just happened to have her camera, she added offhandedly, as she snapped a few pictures in quick succession. The Yuki Souma Fan Club would love her for this. After they'd been revived, of course.
