A "Pandemonium" Off-Shoot
Fruits Basket a fic bit in the "Pandemonium" universe
Mitsu/Ritsu
"Ahh," he said quietly, "M-Mitsu-san, I..." He trailed off hesitantly.
I took a small step closer to him. If I moved any more we'd be in my hallway. He looked nervous, but I paid no heed. I just wanted one kiss. He seemed to snap to comprehension suddenly, knowing in a blink exactly what I wanted. I smiled at him encouragingly. He dropped my hand and then put both trembling - yes, they wer honestly trembling - hands at my waist.
It was such a nice feeling, having warm hands there, holding me. I looked up at him and gently touched his cheek. The next moment, our eyes were closed.
I wasn't expecting it to be phenomenal, and I suppose on a universal scale it definitely wasn't. But it was nice - slow and warm and wonderful. After a second, I realized that we were still in the hallway - in plain view should a neighbor happen to step out - so I grabbed his forearms and pulled him inside with me.
Ritsu was much more enthusiastic once we were in my apartment, though I was fairly sure that came more from new courage than any care that the neighbors would see. He kept me nearly at arm's length away, though I tried to pull him closer. I just let my hands settle on his shoulders, since he seemed so averse to being held.
I certainly wasn't expecting anything to happen, but since he wasn't objecting I wanted to see how far I could go before he would stop me. I found the ribbon in his hair and untied it, letting all that hair fall free.
