Fruits Basket Fan Fiction ❯ Sleepless Beauty. ❯ Crude ( Chapter 2 )

The blonde was in his shower, relaxing as the hot spray of water caressed his lean, toned form. Taking in a deep breath of the moist, humid air, Ren let a slight sigh leave his lips. There was so much work to be done. As one of the most promising Manga-kai under his publishing company, he was expected to put out the next volume of his series, Sensual Poison, as well as start a new hentai series. How he was going to do all this he didn't know. Inspiration didn't seem to come to him and flow onto the pages as it once had. In fact, the male had been in a rut for a little over a month. But deadlines were creeping up on him and he needed to produce something to hand his editors.

 

And just then, there was a pop. A sound like a little toy gun going off. Soft, but starling. The blonde turned off the water and got a towel, wrapping it around his waist. Exiting the bathroom, he entered his room and stood in the doorway, making a startling discovery. His little mouse, was no longer a mouse at all, but a teen age boy.

 

Yuki blinked, looking up at the stranger. He'd been so busy rattling the cage and trying to escape, he didn't realize the shower had turned off and there was someone else there. Panic spread through him as the tried to pull himself into a modest position and hid his nakedness.

 

“Who are you? How did you get here and where did the little mouse go?” The blonde asked with a so tone sharp and cold that Yuki shuddered slightly. He took a step into the room, pulling on a pair of jeans before letting the towel fall to the floor. Ren edged closer still, walking around the cage, icy orbs gazing at the naked youth. He was every lovely…Inspiringly so.

 

“My name's Yuki Sohma. I'm a student at the high school. I was the rat that you brought home. ” He whispered softly, looking down. Surly now that the other knew the truth, he would release him, yes? “Please, will you take me back home?” He asked softly.

 

A boy that turned into a rat. Now that was something different. It would make for an excellent novel, but Ren wasn't trying to write a story. He was in the business of drawing hentai and other such things for mangas. Bringing a thoughtful finger to his lips and tapping it lightly, he shook his head. “I only go into town once a week. Fuel is so expensive. You'll have to wait until Monday. But you can stay here. I'll cloth and feed you and you can help me with my work so you won't get too bored.” He said, quickly crafting a lie to tell the child. Yes, it was perfect. From Wensday to Monday was five days. But the time Monday rolled around, Ren would make sure that the teen didn't want to leave.
