Disclaimer: NOPE! Don't Own them. Wish I did though. Kyou especially. ^_^
Sitting adjacent to the television screen, Kyou flipped aimlessly throughout infomercial to soap opera to commercial, to a very dull educational film on frogs.
He sighed. Being sick during school royally sucked; having nothing on television sucked even more.
A small voice hummed in the kitchen and his lips twitched before he could resist the urge to smile.
After finding out that Kyou had caught a cold, Tohru had told Shigure that she would stay and watch over him due to weakness in the Sohma’s immune system. Shigure, having a sinister smirk, agreed and decided he would work outside the house.
“I don’t want to catch nasty kitty germs,” was his cover up, but Kyou knew otherwise. The nasty dog always had a sneaky plan up his sleeve and today was no different.
As if on cue, Tohru came out of the kitchen with a stemming hot bowl of soup. Before they could really call him the hot pants in the family, quite literally, Kyou rushed and got the bowl from her.
“I’d figure you might want some soup,” Tohru smiled as Kyou blew on the top, kneeling down to place on the coffee table. “Is there anything else you want?”
Kyou thought for a second then smirked at her. “Some company would be nice.”
Blood red rushed to her cheeks, and before he knew it Kyou was blurting out every possible way of covering up that he wanted her to stay with him because he was lonely, “I uhh, umm just don’t have anything good to watch on TV, that’s all.”
“Oh.” The same smile crinkled her lips. It was stupid trying to lie. That damn smile of hers always got the better of him, and like Shigure’s real intentions, it was no different today.
“So, what do you want to do?” Kyou ruffled his hair as he thought about her question, then looked around.
“Anything you want to do?”
Placing a finger on her chin, Tohru smirked quickly before taking off into the hallway without a single glance towards him. Within seconds, she came back with pen and paper.
“What’s that for?”
“I’ve always wanted to write down what I would do in life but I never got around to it. Now is as good as any.” Tohru plopped a second pad and pen in front of him. “You write your list down to.”
“Oookay then,” eyeing the pad of paper like it would jump out and rip his head off, Kyou picked up the pen slowly and began to write.
‘1.’ Nothing came to mind.
He looked over toward Tohru who was scribbling away.
Frowning, he looked back at the pad and thought more carefully.
“What do I want to do in life?”
A smile with pure light shined through his mind and he smiled before writing it down.
It was nearly fifteen minutes before they both put down their pens and pad of paper.
“So, what did you write for number 4,” Tohru looked at hers before looking back at Kyou’s soul stealing eyes.
“Uhh…to walk in the rain at night with a full moon.”
“But I thought you did that before,” Tohru frowned as Kyou scratched his head nervously. She was beginning to see all his strange behaviors like a passage in a book she always read.
“Not with a full moon though.”
“Oh.”
“How about you?”
Tohru smiled at that. What was it about that damn smile that always had him feeling strange things in his stomach before he was ready to pounce on the innocent Honda girl?
“To make a snowman with different shades of colored snow.”
Kyou laughed, “As long as it isn’t yellow.”
Blinking Tohru looked at him with confused eyes, “what’s wrong with the color yellow?”
“Just trust me, stay away from yellow snow.”
Nodding, Tohru smiled brightly again at him. “What about number 1? Is it to beat Yuki-kun?” She chuckled lightly at how many times he probably wrote that on his paper.
“No,” he scratched his head then turned away, “it was actually to get hitched.”
Tohru’s eyes were glued to him now. “Wow, you mean married? That’s wonderful Kyou-kun.”
“Not as wonderful as the girl will be.”
Tohru blushed again and this time turned her head.
“So what was your number 1 Tohru?”
“To learn how to take care of myself.” The sweet innocent smile turned bittersweet as memories came flooding back into her mind.
Wanting to change the subject, Kyou looked down at his list. “So what was number 10?”
“Oh,” again, Tohru blushed only this time she looked up sheepishly at Kyou as she replied, “to kiss my secret crush.”
Before either of them could think about what the other was doing, Kyou’s fingers laced in her silky tresses before pulling her chin up. His lips touched hers gently and ran his hand through the brunette silk.
“I can cross that off my list now.” Tohru chuckled lightly as Kyou went for another kiss before they began kissing one another’s face and hands.
“What was number 2 Kyou?” Tohru asked as he pulled away but never turning his eyes away from hers that sparkled with light of the stars.
“I accomplished it just now.”
Tohru smiled as she looked down at her pad.
Now, Kyou was turning beat red. “Why number ten?”
Without looking up from her list, a simple whisper shook his world.
“The best was for last.”
And here he had written to beat that damn rat up. Where was a pencil when you needed it?
