Tohru looked out from her room and down the hallway. It was dark and there was a cool draft blowing softly down the corridor. Faintly…she could hear someone crying. It wasn’t Shigure…. he was in the far back of the house…You could barely hear it…so faint that if she was humming slightly…you would never notice it.
Crying? Who is crying? She thought worriedly. Tohru looked back at the clock on her desk. It was 11:00 in the morning. Everyone was in bed and she had stayed up to finish her math homework.
What if Yuki or Kyo is hurt!? She thought in panic and crept down the hallway and stairs.
When she reached the bottom of the staircase, the cries had softly resided to sobs. Someone is crying!!! Tohru lightly ran to where the sounds were the loudest. Nervosuly she bit her lip. Its late…it would be rude to wake anyone!!! She thought in panic. Though the cries still softly echoed down the corridor where Kyou’s, Yuki’s, and Shigure’s rooms were. Each door was closed, though she did notice that there was light peeping out from under Kyou’s room. She stood in front of the door, confused and worried. The whisperings had vanished for a while…then came another soft yelp…like a fitful dream.
Before the worried Tohru could stop herself, she shakily knocked softly on the door. There was complete silence from the other end, then there was the sound of a groggy voice of Kyou.”Leave me ALONE!!!” he shouted. Tohru…frightened and taken aback by the sudden force stuttered…”Uh um…Kyou-kun…I-I was just wondering…if you would like some tea…I was brewing some and I saw the light under your door…” she said softly…. trying to cover up the real reason she was there. There was silence once more, and then the door opened to reveal a bed tousled Kyou, in a large sleep shirt and baggy PJ pants. He looked down at Tohru still in her school uniform. “Why the heck are you still in your uniform?!!!”….” He said kind of gruph like, his hands in fist. “I um…was doing my math homework…” she said, smiling in return. She noticed his eyes were bloodshot, and he was stifling too. “And you wakin’ me up in the middle of the night?!!!I guess I can forgive you this once…but for the heck of it, don’t do it again!!” he said in his usual tone.
Kyou sat at the low table while Tohru brewed the tea and got the cups ready. He was lying on the floor, with his legs Criss-crossed and his hands at the back of his head. His eyes watched the happy looking Tohru buss around the small kitchen preparing tea.
For some reason, he felt different just watching her…all happy and smiling over just making tea. He shook his head and continued to stare at the ceiling. He sniffled from a stuffy nose once more and used the back of his hand to shield his eyes from the light.
“The tea is ready!” she said happily, coming out with the kettle and placed the cups onto the table. She sat down and poured the tea. Kyou sniffled again and grasped the tea in his hands, which where cold and warming from the hot cup. Tohru looked worriedly at the cat boy.”Kyou-kun…. are you sick?!” she asked in genuine concern, her cup suspended in the air and held with two hands.”Heh? N-no…I’m just tired that’s all…” he countered and sipped the tea, his eyes distant. “I’m so sorry if I have awaken you!” she said in panic. “Eh, nah…I was dosing that’s s’all…” he said grumbling. Kyou looked down into his cup. It was green tea…prepared just the way he liked it. It reflected a tired, grumpy and forlorn version of himself. He glanced up at Tohru who had her attention on her own cup of tea and sipping it contentedly.
Though, as Tohru sipped her tea, she wondered why she heard those strange sounds from the other side of Kyou’s door. She looked up shyly, and saw the confused expression on Kyou’s face.
“Are you ok Kyou-kun?”.
“I’m fine…”
“Do you like the tea? I hope its ok….”
“Its okay…” he mumbled. He saw Tohru worriedly glancing down at her cup and hands in her lap. Her lips, for once, were not smiling, and her eyes were down cast. Something hit Kyou’s chest like there was something missing, major.
“H-hey…”
“Yes, Kyou-kun?”
“Thanks…you know…for the tea…”
“Oh its fine! Anytime!!”
Suddenly her face lit up with her wide and bright eyes and her ever so cute smile. Kyou smirked slightly. Seeing how easy it was to make her happy…and to make her neutral. It felt right…like she should stay like that. Like it was supposed to be there, always meant to be for her to smile. That everything was all right…All right…
Kyou finished off his tea…and felt much better, and even giving a small smile. He stood, stretching his arms over his head and cracking his shoulders ahs he always did.”Oh…Kyou-kun…” she said, getting up as well. “Goodnight!!!” she said smiling. He stood in the direction towards his door, then stopped and glanced as Tohru began to pick up the mess from the tea. Something welled up in him; he would be alone once more…she hummed as she washed the cups in the sink, happily and feeling better knowing that Kyou was no longer sad looking.
That’s a relief…she though happily. When she reached out to wash the kettle though, a strong hand went atop of hers. Surprised, she looked over her shoulder. Kyou, with a slight frown on his face said “I’ll do it…you go on to bed, I’ll kill you in the morning if your too tired to go to school…” he said.”W-well I could do it! Its no problem for me, you-kun!” she said with a shocked smile. “NO…I’ll do it…” he said more urgent. A sudden pain rose in his chest. He didn’t want her to stay up and clean…and he didn’t want to leave either. Without realizing it, he wanted to stay near comfort and do something.
It might come back again…and if she is where I can see her…then…
Before he realized what he had done, he had put an arm around her waste halfways, and the other on her hand holding the kettle. Tohru stiffened, and looked confused. You blushed uncontrollably, and let go.”Dammit! I said I’d do it! Go to bed…!” he yelled, not meaning to. Her eyes welled up and she let go and nodded. He watched her begin to walk off, and he set it down.
GAAAH! I did it again! I yelled at her!
“GAH! Wait! That’s not what I meant!” he said, running to her and grabbing her arm. She turned…showing that tears had spilled, throwing Kyou into a pit of guilt. “DON’T CRY!!!”.He reached out a hand and brushed her tears away. “Remember…If I ever goldfish you off, just go ahead and hit me…alright?!” he said, turning his head at an angle upward to hide a part of the blush.
”Huh?!” Tohru exclaimed.
“Or forget it, I’m losing my mind…’ he muttered, grasping her hand and walking up the staircase. Tohru followed behind, confused and taken aback. When he was in front of her room, he opened the door for her and cleared the way so she could in.
Kyou-kun is acting so strange!
“Promise me, you’ll go to bed…” he ordered, as if angry.
“But …I haven’t finished my…”
“Don’t worry about it…” he said, calming down, and resting his head on the door frame.
“I-I just want you to sleep well…you haven’t slept well in a long time…” he said, is voice off beat.
Tohru, confused by the sudden burst of emotions, nodded tearfully and went into her room. Kyou closed the door slowly and silently. He sighed as he walked back down to the kitchen and cleaned up the rest of it. He sighed, and cursed to himself.
“I’m an idiot…”
“That you are…” said a familiar voice. There was Yuki, in a robe of burgundy. “Why must you be so rude to Honda-san? She even made you tea…”Kyou’s eyes filled with rage and his orange haired frazzled. “You damn rat!!!Shutup!!!” he roared, and stomped off to his room.
Odd…he went without a fight…just like that…
Yuki thought as he walked back to his room. Strange how he was acting…why would he care if she had a good night’s rest or not?
In the morning, Tohru woke and went about her morning routine. Everyone else was asleep as she went down the stairs and too the kitchen to make breakfast.
Such an odd night… She thought. Though she did have a goodnights sleep. Then it hit her…My math homework! I forgot! She thought sadly as she went into the kitchen. When she walked in however, there was the strangest thing on the counter. There was her homework...finished and completed…along with a nice hot, steaming cup of green tea.
