Fruits Basket Fan Fiction ❯ Is This Love? ❯ What If...They Tell...? ( Chapter 2 )

[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

It had been almost a week since they had confessed their love. Everyday they would kiss at least once, usually if they met each other before going to a class, nothing special though, just a peck on the cheek.

“Yuki-kun!” Kyo called as he ran towards the young nezu.

“Hai Kyo-kun?”

“Where are you going? Aren't we walking home?”

“Oh gomen, I forgot to tell you. I'm going for a doctor's appointment; I dodged the last one so I have to go to this one.” Kyo sagged slightly, Yuki giggled. Kyo perked up and jumped in front of Yuki.

“Can I come?”

“No! Neko no baka.”

“Can't I even walk you?” Yuki smiled and gently shook his head.

“No.” He put his arm around the neko's neck gently and kissed him, it was only meant to be a peck but Kyo grabbed his jaw and pulled him close. They shared the kiss for a while and then pulled away, needing air.

“I'll see you tonight alright?”

“Un, sure thing. Hope you get on well.” Kyo said waving and walking away.

Yuki looked after the young neko and smiled, he always wanted to be with him. They still fought often to avoid suspicion, but when no one was around they would apologise. Kyo had been kind and loving, even more than he could have ever imagined. Kyo was, however, a hormone-driven teenager and often groped (or tried to grope) places that Yuki thought of as `taboo'. It wasn't that he didn't want it; he just didn't think they'd spent enough time evaluating their relationship, it was too soon. Maybe I'm just being paranoid, I should let him…we are a couple now after all…he thought to himself as he neared the entrance of the Sohma House. He looked up at the big, all too familiar doors and sighed, letting himself in. He didn't particularly enjoy going for the appointments, his asthma had almost completely disappeared, and yet Hatori insisted that he came for a check-up every 2 months. He just worries, I do take that into account…but I haven't had an attack in almost a year. He stared at Hatori's clinic doors, he sighed and opened them, shouting to let himself known.

“Ah Yuki-chan, please come through here.” Yuki heard from another room.

He took off his coat and scarf, and then proceeded to walk into the room where Hatori's voice had come from; he was sitting on the porch outside. The ryuu turned to look at him, he smiled.

“Konnichi wa Yuki-chan, how are you?”

“Konnichi wa Hatori-san, I'm fine I don't see why I need to be here.” Hatori shook his head.

“You're condition worsened last year, don't you remember? I just don't want that to happen again. I can't help that I'm a concerned doctor.” Yuki smiled.

“I know, I know. I just think it's pointless. I haven't had an attack in almost a whole year now.”

“I understand that, and I also understand it's a bother for you to be coming here every two months. I can't ignore what happened last year. Make it through his year without an attack and I'll move the appointments to 6 months alright?” Yuki nodded.

“Good, now take off your shirt. My stethoscope doesn't like the material you're wearing.”

“N-nani?”

“Wool, it smothers the heartbeat.”

“Oh…”

Yuki nodded and struggled out of his woollen sweater while Hatori warmed the stethoscope in his hands. Hatori smirked when he saw Yuki desperately struggling to get it off; his elbow had caught in one of the sleeves. Hatori gently eased his elbow out of the sleeve and the sweater came off easily.

“Sorry about that…” said Yuki, hiding his red face.

“Hah, no problem, now- um…Yuki I need your chest.” The young nezu looked up at the ryuu confused, it was then he realised he was hugging his sweater into his chest.

“Gomen!” he exclaimed and put the sweater on the chair beside him.

Hatori put the stethoscope in his ears and proceeded to press it against the nezu's chest, his eyes often looking from side to side, determining if it was alright. After a few minutes of the front he pressed it to his back.

“Everything's alright. Your breathing is normal; there's no wheeze and the action is clean.”

“Even I could have told you that.” Said Yuki pulling his sweater back on.

“How are those problems you were having, have they cleared up any?” Yuki tilted his head and then nodded smiling.

“Hai, most definitely.”

“Good to hear.” He said and smiled.

Yuki felt a stirring in the pit of his stomach, a part of him was gagging to tell someone of him and Kyo. It wasn't that he wanted to ruin the secret or anything; it was just that if he ever needed anyone to talk about it he wouldn't be able to. He took a deep breath and said actually. Hatori turned to look at him.

“Hai?”

“There is….something I want to talk about- I understand that you're a busy man, but if you have any time to spare…”

“It's alright, I have time. What is it you want to talk about?” Yuki felt his face turn pink.

“Um…you know those `problems' I was having? They did clear up…but now that they have, I have even more…” Hatori gestured for him to sit in the chair next to him, and he sat at his desk.

“Hai, continue.”

“Well…this is going to sound strange…and…um…it's really embarrassing…”

“Yuki-chan, I'm your doctor, there's no need to be embarrassed in front of me.”

“Ha-hai…I know. Well, those problems - I had before, they were…well…it involved Kyo-kun - But not in the way that you think! It wasn't fighting or anything, I-I had feelings for him - have feelings for him. It turns out that he had the same for me…I know it sounds disgusting and everything, but that's what it was. We finally accepted each other, but now…well….adolescence is proving difficult to control. I have these…um…urges *cough* and so does Kyo…but we don't know what to do. I know its hormones and stuff…but I really don't know what to do…I was wondering…if you could maybe help me. I don't quite understand my body, or why I feel this way, but…I don't know, I suppose I thought maybe you would know, you being a doctor and all…”

The youth had been keeping his pink face firmly down when he was explaining, afraid to look at the ryuu's face, afraid of what he'd think. Hatori cleared his throat quietly and folded his arms.

“I can't say I'm not shocked Yuki. But then again, there does seem to be an element of…well…that built into the genes of this family. It's alright though, don't be embarrassed. The human body knows what it likes, you can't just ignore it and I understand that.” He looked up at the youth, who had been looking at him meekly through the spaces of his fingers. “So…what is it you want me to help you with?”

“Um…well…”

“I can't control the urges-”

“Shh!”

“Sorry…the urges *cough*, you'll have to deal with that yourself. And as for not knowing `why' your body prefers men-”

“No, no! It's not…men…it's just Kyo-kun…”

“Hm...Either way Yuki-chan, if your `urges' do take control, I strongly advise you take the proper precautions.” Yuki blinked at Hatori.

“There's a chance I could get pregnant?”

“Yuki-chan…” he sighed. “You know what I mean. I think Kyo-chan is a bad influence on you.” Yuki smiled and stood up. He walked to the door and got his scarf and coat. Well…that wasn't a complete waste, if Hatori-san knows about it, then maybe if anything happens I can talk to him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

He walked home with a smile on his face, that was until he heard shouting coming from the house.

“Um…? Oh Kagura, konnichi wa.” Kagura looked up from smashing Kyo's face; Yuki stared at his Koibito in sympathy.

“Konnichi wa…Yuki-kun.”

“What's all this about?” he asked kindly, pointing to Kyo who was sucking his bloody lip.

“Oh…Kyo-kun….said he was…seeing someone else…” she broke down in tears.

“Whad'ya mean `someone else'?! I was never going out with you!” Kagura's tears stopped and she turned to face Kyo with a Youkai look- blood thirsty.

“I HATE YOU KYO-KUN!! YOU RUINED OUR RELATIONSHIP!! I HOPE SHE DUMPS YOU, THEN YOU'RE REALLY SAD, BUT DON'T YOU DARE COME CRAWLING BACK TO ME!!” and with that she ran out…well…'through' the house and away. Yuki stared after her blankly and then at Kyo.

“Neko no baka, you can really piss people off. It seems to be a talent…the only one you have.”

“Nezu no baka! Just shut the hell up! I got plenty of talents!

“I'd like to see just one.”

“Fine then! Meet Mr. Fist!” Kyo took a swing for Yuki and missed, only to be kicked violently in the back. Kyo was left trembling on the floor.

“Baka ne.” hissed Yuki coldly, and then he walked out of the room and ran upstairs. Shigure and Tohru (who had been watching horrified) walked over to Kyo slowly.

“Kyo-kun?” Kyo shook and jumped up.

“Nezu no baka! Thinks he can do that to me!!” and with that he ran off up stairs. Tohru looked at Shigure nervously.

“You don't think they'll start fighting…do you?” Shigure shrugged.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yuki closed his door and walked over to the bed; he sat on it then stared at the ceiling, slowly counting in his head. He heard shouting and then footsteps; his door was flung open and then slammed shut, the orange neko stood in front of him breathing heavily.

“Gomennasai Koibito-chan, I think I kicked too hard.”

“Really?! You think so?!”

Yuki smiled and walked over to his koibito slowly, he wrapped his arms around his shoulders, feeling downwards to his back, rubbing where he kicked him gently. He heard Kyo sigh contently and wrap his arms around his waist, gently nuzzling his jugular. Yuki brought one of his hands up to hold his neko's head, running his fingers through the soft orange hair. Kyo did the same, licking the length of his jugular to his jaw line, and then finding his way to his earlobe. He nipped it gently, occasionally giving it a suck or moving to the hypersensitive patch of skin just behind Yuki's ear. Yuki gave a subdued moan as Kyo tenderised this very sensitive spot. He found that his mouth ached for something of its own, so he found the side of Kyo's cheek and kissed it. He gave soft butterfly kisses until Kyo pulled away and fed Yuki's desire, giving him a passionate kiss. Yuki wrapped his arms around his koibito's neck and gave himself to him, he allowed himself to be investigated thoroughly, and it seemed only fair as he was doing the same to Kyo, probing every inch of his neko's mouth. When they parted for air, Kyo was already sucking on Yuki's neck, biting and nipping his jugular. Yuki let out a small moan and held Kyo tightly. You like that don't you? Un, if you could see the look on your face! Kyo thought as he looked up at his Koibito. Pulling away, he found Yuki's greedy lips caressing his own, his tongue wanting to be smothered once more. Kyo teased his nezu by pulling away as he tried to kiss.

“Ky-Kyo-kun…”

The way the nezu said his name made him shudder. He kissed the Nezu harshly, almost hungrily. Yuki didn't expect this, but fed his desire anyway, just as desperately returning the kiss. When he pulled away his lips tingled, Kyo had never kissed him like that before, it felt nice. He leaned in again, wanted to feel that tingling, but Kyo stopped him.

“What's…the matter Kyo-kun?” Kyo laughed.

“We're being spied on.” Yuki turned to him and gulped.

“What?! How do you know?!”

Kyo smiled gently and walked to the door, waiting a few seconds before quickly opening it and grabbing Shigure-who was trying desperately to escape.

“Kyo-kun, please…I really didn't mean to! I was just walking past and-”

Shigure was interrupted as Yuki walked up behind Kyo and wrapped his arms around him. Kyo turned and kissed him, pushing him back gently, back on to the bed.

“Shigure-san, don't tell anyone what you've seen, or…I….” Kyo tightened his fist and showed it to Shigure.

“Ah ha! Okay I understand that fully…now let me flee.” Kyo grunted and released him, watching him run down the stairs laughing.

Yuki shook his head and sighed.

“Dammit, he's going to tell everyone.”

“H-Hai…” stuttered Kyo, Yuki had been unaware that his Koibito had been shaking.

Yuki was amazed at how sensitive his neko was. Kyo was trying to conceal his grief, choking on the lump in his throat. Yuki stared and him and raised himself from the bed, walking over to him and wrapping his arms around him. They stayed like that for a long time, holding each other, giving gentle kisses.

“Kyo-kun…why are you so upset? It doesn't change anything between us.”

“But it does! If Shigure tells someone like Ayame then all the Sohma's will know! And then they'll pass it on to other people and soon the school will know! That will damage both our reputations, and then we'll start to hate each other again.” Kyo gritted his teeth and gently sobbed, tears running down his cheeks.

Yuki took Kyo's hand and kissed it, staring into his distressed Koibito's eyes. Kyo savoured the nezu's warm soft gaze, he grabbed Yuki's head and pulled it into his chest, and he felt his heart being relieved. Yuki snuggled into his lover's embrace, holding him tightly. Kyo stared at his Koibito.

“What…do you suppose we do?”

“I suppose if that were to happen, there is nothing we can do, save kill Shigure-san and prevent it happening.” He smiled.

“Heh….” The tired Neko collapsed on the bed.

“Oi Kyo-kun? Don't worry so much, even if it did happen, I'd still love you.”

“Hai…arigato Yuki-kun…oi…do want to go to a Sushi bar?”

“Um…no.”

“Why not?”

“I don't like the ones you go to.”

“You are one….freaky nezu.”

“True, but where would you be without me?”

“I hate to think…next time, I'm gunna force you to come with me.”

“Haha, I look forward to it Koibito-kun.”
