She lay beneath her blankets shivering hearing the thunder overhead. When you lived in the middle of a forest everything seems to echo more. She slowly poked her head out from the blanket a few chocolate locks falling forward as she looked to a picture of her mother. "... I wish you were hear mom to hold me like you always did..." She shuddered as she saw a flash of lightening her eyes closing tightly knowing that thunder would follow. She slowly moved taking her blankets with her moving into the hallway sliding the door open of the boy that allowed her into the home. She slowly laid above his covers so she covered with hers. "... Yuki-kun is it ok if I stay here for a little bit til the storm passes...?" She looked up to the boy the flash of lightening revealing his purple tinted hair.
"Hmm…." came a sleepy response, his eyes slowly opening as the words awoke him from his sleep. He had no problem with storms, and was easily able to sleep through them, but the movement on his bed and her voice had woke him, "What is it? Something wrong Miss Honda?"
She shivered hearing the thunder her head resting on his back. "... I don't like the storms..." She spoke softly she would have probably gone to Kyou, but he wasn't home.
"Oh... well, you're welcome to stay here Miss Honda, if it'll help you sleep." His words were soft as he glanced over at her through half-closed, sleepy eyes.
She slowly looked up nodding slowly. "... Thank you Yuki-kun." She smiled faintly looking to him.
He merely nodded to her a bit and rolled over onto his side once more, closing his eyes a bit. "Rest well."
"I will now..." She rested her head on his chest now as she started to drift off. One of his arms slowly folded over her shoulders and held her lightly against his chest to help make her feel more comfortable.
"... Yuki-kun?" Her eyes were closed now as she spoke softly to him.
"Yes..?" His head tilted a bit, looking down at her.
"Did your mother ever do this with you when you were little?" She spoke so softly to him now as she pulled her blanket close.
"I... don't really remember much about my mother..." he whispered as he held her lightly in his arms still.
"... Oh I'm sorry for bringing it up Yuki-kun." She opened her eyes halfway looking to him.
"It's all right Tohru... rest now," he said softly as he closed his arms closer around her and closed his eyes. She closed her eyes slowly as she nodded curling against him careful that he wouldn't transform. Slowly he slipped off to sleep with the girl in his arms, resting through the storm as if there were nothing wrong. Her hand gripped his pajama shirt at any sign of thunder until she finally drifted off to sleep resting quietly. The night went on without him making any sounds or any movements, just staying close to her. She slept silently into the morning her head tucking under Yuki's to hide from the sunlight that was peaking in. Slowly Yuki's eyes opened as the sun struck them. Glancing down just a bit, he saw her and blinked. She smiled in her sleep after finding shade from the sunlight. Blinking away the sleep in his eyes, he slowly shifted a bit and sat up on the bed. She rolled over slowly her back to him as she continued to sleep. Shigure snickering in the doorway.
Yuki's eyes slowly turned towards the door, hearing the sound. "Wha-?"
"How cute you two slept together. Aww Young romance and teen angst."
"Shut up dog, pervert." Slowly Yuki stood up and walked to the closet to grab fresh clothes, "She was scared."
"So you comforted her." She sat up in bed her hair a little messy from the sleep she slowly pulled her blanket around her body shivering a little from the cold. She looked up after a few minutes now realizing Shigure was there.
"She said that her mother used to hold her through storms and that she was afraid to be alone during them, so just keep your mouth shut and your mind out of the gutter."
Tohru was blushing now as Shigure looked to the two shaking his head. "Well I ordered take out for breakfast or well lunch I guess since no one decided to come down."
Slowly Yuki closed the closet, clothes draped over his arm. "Thanks... you know, you could have woke us if you wanted breakfast..."
"Yeah, but you two looked so cute kind of like when she crawled into Kyou's bed one night."
Yuki's eyes narrowed just a bit as he walked out past Shigure and into the bathroom to take a shower. Tohru looked down feeling bad now Shigure just walked off downstairs hearing the doorbell ring. Slowly the door to the bathroom creped open, Yuki's head poking out, and part of his shoulder as well to show he was shirtless. "Tohru..."
She got up off his bed rather quickly now hearing his voice she made her way to his door. "Yes Yuki-kun?" She ashamed now that Yuki heard about her crawling into bed with Kyou.
"I... don't have any towels or rags... c-could you get me some... I kind of... can't come out of the bathroom..."
She blushed a dark red. "I'm sorry I didn't put any towels in the bathroom I'll go get a few from the dryer so they should be nice and warm." She hurried down the steps into the laundry room gather up some of the warm fuzzy white towels for him before hurrying upstairs to him. He was still leaning out of the bathroom door, waiting on her, but not letting any of his body be seen. She held out a towel for him as she reached the bathroom door. Slowly feeling around, he felt the towel touch his hand, his fingers closing against it and tugging it in with him. She let go of it rather quickly before sliding down the wall closing her eyes resting her head on her knees. He heard her slide down the wall, the door still open as he slowly climbed out of the shower, the towel wrapped around him now.
"... Are you mad at me Yuki-kun?" She spoke softly keeping her face hidden.
"For what..?" Slowly he looked out the door at her, his head tilting a bit.
"... If I made you feel like second choice..." She slowly looked up to him. "Kyou's just easier to deal with and he doesn't put up much of a fight because of the rain..."
His head shook a bit as he looked down at her, standing at the door in a towel. "No, I don't feel like that."
She looked up nodding slowly before blushing a dark red. "I'm glad you don't." He nodded softly as he looked down at her and saw the blush on her face, soon realizing he wasn't dressed. She looked down hiding her face in her knees. Slowly he walked into the bathroom and closed the door almost all the way, dropping the towel and starting to get dressed. She kept her head down and hiding her blush as she waited for him to come out fully dressed. Slowly the door opened once more and he walked out, rubbing his head with the towel to finish drying his hair.
She looked up still blushing as she stood up. "Lets go get lunch." Nodding softly he tossed the towel into the bathroom on the floor and glanced over at her as if to tell her to lead the way. She stepped ahead of him walking down the wooden steps Shigure sitting at the table reading the newspaper starting to giggle seeing Tohru now.
Yuki's eyes glanced up at the other male in the room, hearing the rather feminine sounding giggle. "Shut up Shigure."
"You should have seen it, it was so cute the way she clung to you like a child." He only continued to laugh as Tohru moved into the kitchen getting her and Yuki something to drink since Shigure had his coffee.
Yuki sat across the table from Shigure and narrowed his eyes at the other. "Shut up... quit pestering Miss Honda, she was scared."
"I know, but it was so cute sweet Tohru laying next to you like she did Kyou you should have seen it when I surprised him with a wake up call."
Yuki's hand reached across the table and grabbed the top of the paper, wrinkling it and pushing it down some, "Drop it."
Shigure sighed as Tohru walked out with some orange juice now setting one in front of Yuki and the other in front of her. As she reached over pouring some mar far and rice onto her plate from a take out box.
Smiling over at Tohru a bit, Yuki picked up his glass of juice and took a sip, "Thank you Miss Honda."
She nodded lightly smiling. "Your welcome Yuki-kun." She handed over the over the box of food.
Taking it, he slowly pulled some onto his own plate, pushing the box towards Shigure next, his eyes looking at the other. Shigure smirked before flicking the paper starting to read as Tohru ate quietly. Yuki's eyes turned down to his plate as he slowly started to eat the food he'd placed on it, sipping the orange juice whenever he would finish a bite. "Yuki-kun what do you want to do after lunch?" She looked up to him taking a few bites.
His head tilted a bit as he glanced over at her, sipping from his juice once more. "Uhh... I am not sure, what would you like to do?"
"I'm not sure I was just curious to know if there was anything I needed to do today."
"Not that I know of," he said softly as he continued to eat his food.
"Then is it ok if I go into town to do some shopping?"
"Would you like for me to go with you," he said softly, his head turning towards her.
Shigure peaked over his paper as Tohru played with her rice a bit. "If you want to I won't force you or anything."
"Who said you'd have to force me? Right about now I just want to get out of the house..." He said as he glanced at the eyes peeking over the paper.
Shigure moved his paper as she giggled nodding lightly. "Ok I'll see how much money I have saved up." She took her plate into the kitchen before hurrying upstairs.
Slowly he stood and looked down over the paper of Shigure once more and shook his head. "Leave it alone. She was just looking for a place where she felt safe, you notice she didn't go crawling in your bed... pervert."
"But just imagine if you and sweet Kyou-kun weren't here I bet she lay next to me." He smiled all cheerful like.
His eyes narrowed softly, "I should hope that it never rains if you and her are alone in this house. Perverted dog..." Slowly he walked into the kitchen with his plate.
She came downstairs finally dressed in a blue sundress smiling her carefree way. "I have enough money if you want to go to a movie, but that's about it."
Slowly he walked out of the kitchen; "You said you wanted to go shopping, right? I'll go shopping with you, we can see a movie another time."
"Shopping can wait I don't need clothes that bad." She smiled kindly to him.
His head shook softly, "No, let's go get you something nice and new to wear."
She nodded lightly. "... Maybe in a few weeks when I get paid and I have enough left over from paying Shigure-san for living here we can go."
"Paying Shigure?" Yuki glanced down at Shigure with narrowed eyes. "You work so hard, he shouldn't be charging you to stay here... Come, let's go shopping... and we'll go to the movie, on Shigure's credit card..."
She shook her head slowly. "Its fine Yuki-kun I'd probably be paying more if I lived somewhere else." She moved passed him now heading to the door slipping some shoes on.
Yuki glanced at Shigure once more and narrowed his eyes just a bit, "Damn it dog..." Slowly he walked out towards her. She smiled seeing him now as she stepped outside wearing the yellow ribbon in her hair.
His hand was busy tucking something into his pocket as he walked up beside her, "Shall we get going Miss Honda?"
She nodded lightly. "Yeah I am if I have money left over do you want to get some ice cream?"
He smiled a bit and nodded, "Don't worry. Spend all you want today... we'll enjoy our day today. My treat, since I don't seem to have a reason to spend the money that I get..."
"What do you mean Yuki-kun?" She looked up to him now a little confused.
He smiled as he took out his wallet, "The main house sends money to the family members from time to time... I never have a reason to spend it really... so why not just enjoy ourselves with it?"
She looked down slowly. "Don't spend it on me Yuki-kun." She stepped ahead of him now starting to hum.
"What if I want to..? I have nothing and no one else worth spending it on... it just builds up..."
"Let it build so you can go to a good college and you'll be set you'll have enough to buy books, maybe get a dorm." She smiled kindly.
"The family pays for all of that... this money is for personal use... and I never really use it."
"Oh... That's really neat." She looked ahead. "I need to start saving pretty soon so I can afford to go to the community college close to here."
"Miss Honda..." he whispered softly as he walked along side her still, looking over at her with the small smile that only she ever seemed to bring out of him.
"Do you think Shigure-san will let me stay at the house when you go to college and Kyou-kun is locked away?"
"I plan on staying too... as long as you are there..."
"Why you can go to a good school something most people don't get to do." She looked to him sadly. "Don't stay because of me..."
"I don't care about any of that... I've never really enjoyed anything... until you moved in with us."
She blushed lightly looking down. "All I did was clean the house up and feed you."
"But you're wrong... you've made the entire house more enjoyable... more fun..."
"... Yeah you and Kyou-kun don't bicker as much either." She looked up to the sky.
"True..." he said softly as he looked at her with a smile.
"After high school do you think Hatori-san will erase my memories?"
"No, I won't let that happen..."
She smiled looking ahead. "Were close to town now." Nodding softly, he slowly took her hand and looked at her.
She blushed a dark red now. "Yuki-kun?"
He blushed softly and pulled his hand away, looking down as if he'd done something wrong, "I-I'm sorry Miss Honda..."
"It's ok, but were going into town I don't want those fan club girls swarming you if I hold your hand."
"I don't care about them...," he said softly as he looked at her still. She nodded lightly reaching for his hand now. He took her hand softly and held it, smiling.
She blushed lightly looking to him. "Where do you want to go first Yuki-kun?"
"Wherever you want to go," he said softly.
"Do you want to get ice cream I'll buy."
"I'll get it..."
"Are you sure?" She looked up to him now. Nodding softly, he smiles and leads her to the ice cream shop.
Follows close behind him now still blushing at the way he held her hand. "What flavor do you like?"
