Fruits Basket Fan Fiction ❯ Cat and Mouse ❯ Curiosity ( Chapter 3 )

------------------------

Kyou glared at his ceiling. He hated himself now for kissing Yuki. He hadn't been thinking when he did it. It had happened. He wasn't gay he couldn't be. Hell he was supposed to marry Kagura. He was NOT supposed to be kissing his male cousin who was the MOUSE.

But he liked it. And when he had said that he was helping Yuki for Tooru Yuki had sounded...disappointed. Did Yuki...? He had seemed like he had enjoyed it. But...that doesn't mean...

"It's either your best friend or your worst enemy." Kyou jumped at the voice. Yuki stood in his doorway leaning against one side. His head was focused straight ahead on the opposite side of the door.

"Y-Yuki."

"Kyou." A tense silence hung waiting for one or the other of the boys to break it. Yuki didn't look like he was about to and Kyou was starting to get nervous again.

"What do you want?" He noticed Yuki visibly flinched at his harsh words.

"Curiosity."

"You want curiosity?" His tone became incredulous. "What the fuck does that mean?"

"No. I don't want curiosity. I want to ask something for curiosity's sake. If you didn't interrupt every 5 seconds and let me finish i could ask." Yuki turned his head to glare at Kyou. Kyou blushed under the scrutiny and found his feet very interesting for the umpteenth time that day.

"Well. Ask." Yuki paused a second before asking.

"Why did you kiss me?" Kyou winced. Of all questions it had to be that one. Not that he had been very surprised, he had been asking himself the very same question ever since he had gotten up to his room.

"I." He paused. "I don't know." Yuki raised a disbelieving eyebrow.

"You don't know?" Yuki hated him now. Well he already had but before there had been something superficial about it now it seemed like real hate.

"It just happened ok!" Kyou leaped to his feet infamous temper surfacing. "I have no goddamned idea as to why I kissed you! I have been asking myself that very same fucking question! If you hate me even more now fine! Just don't ask me pointless questions before you decide to beat the shit out of me for touching the almighty Yuki!!" He had Yuki's complete attention now. The mouse's purple eyes were focused on him in an odd mixture of shock and amusement. Yuki slid down to the floor with his back resting on the doorframe still. He looked up at Kyou.

"You know there is actually a second reason why I don't let the girls at school come close to me."

"And how does this concern me?"

"Let me finish baka neko. Or do you just want me to leave and not satisfy your curiosity?" Kyou blinked and Yuki smirked. "Curiosity killed the cat. Damn I'm full of old sayings today." He sighed. "The second reason is I'm gay. I've known it for awhile really I just haven't done anything about it. That's probably the whole reason for this curse. To make us interbreding gays." Kyou blinked in shock again. And then started laughing. He couldn't help it. Everything that had happened today suddenly seemed extremely hilarious. From the kiss to Yuki's revelation. Yuki's look became one of confusion. "What? What's so funny?" Kyou kneeled down in front of the mouse still chuckling.

"I have never heard the Souma curse descriped in that way before. And it's the most logical explanation I've ever heard."

"If you think it's stupid you can just say so. Is that it?" Kyou gave Yuki a slightly shy smile.

"So you liked the kiss?"
