Disclaimer: Fruits Basket isn’t mine, but I love it a lot so here’s a humble fic
by yours truly.Music Without Words
Chapter
3 – Determined.
When Yuki had fallen asleep, I couldn’t help but look at
his sleeping face. It was a very cute face too. It was a face that I had never
seen before. Well, not this close-up.
I think the first time was when I
opened the door accidentally. While we were kids, he was sleeping to one side
facing the hallway. I opened the door to find myself turning red as a bright
tomato.
I was supposed to wake him up, but I failed to do so.
Also
with that memory, though, I remember Akito just as well.
He was there
with Yuki, but when he got up next to him, he smiled and bowed his head at me. I
just continued to stand there with nothing to say.
I didn’t know what was
going on when I was little, but there was something definitely wrong. Akito was
getting up quietly as he walked over to me.
As I backed away from the
doorway, he carefully pushed back the door into place and took my face gently
into his palm. “You like him, don’t you, Haru?”
I just blinked at him in
nervousness while gulping. Yuki, at that point, was special to me, but I didn’t
know what the hell love was. If it meant staring and wanting to be with him all
the time, then maybe that was true. I just didn’t know it.
“You can’t
have him, Haru. He’s mine.” At that, his eyes became slits as he threw his hands
away from my face in disgust.
From then on, my fear of Akito grew, but
also my loathing of him because of Yuki.
With Yuki in my arms, I fell
asleep as peacefully as I could, but I woke up just as disoriented. I looked out
the window thinking that I was in my own room when I found Yuki saying, “Mm…”
while trying to hug me even tighter.
I looked at the clock and sighed. It
wasn’t too far until school would start but I couldn’t find myself trying to
wake Yuki up.
I just didn’t want to.
Maybe it was just my
selfishness because I wanted to stay with him like this a little longer. While
it was still peaceful.
I knew by the time the sun beginning to rise
outside of that hotel window that I would bear a punishment. And it wasn’t only
from myself, Akito, or Yuki.
I have hurt Yuki because I loved him so
much.
“Yuki. Yuki…” I softly whispered into his ear while pushing on his
shoulder a bit. “It’s time to get up.”
He blinked at me and said my name.
“Haru…”
Reaching for my cheek, he closed his eyes as he kissed my
forehead. At that, he patted my cheek as he turned away from me trying to sit
up.
I laughed as he lazily got up with such great effort just to sit up
straight.
I shook my head as I grabbed my pants and put them on. Yanking
his clothes from the hangers, I put them next to him.
“Don’t you want to
take a shower before going?” I asked him.
I would be fine, but Yuki. Yuki
would have my scent all over him.
And some part of me despised myself for
it.
Before I had even pulled for my shirt, he pulled on my belt and
shook his head. But he just sat there sleepily with the blanket over his waist
and legs.
I took a deep breath and tried to push my hentai thoughts
away. It was just so perfect to just jump him…
I then got his white shirt
and put it over him. “Lift your arms.”
As I did pulled the shirt over
him, I found myself kissing his neck. As I buttoned his shirt, I kissed him on
the lips because just looking at his sleepy face was driving me
nuts.
Then, I pulled away as I handed him his pants while blushing.
“You’re tempting me too much.”
Yuki shook his head while laughing as he
put on his pants as I put on my own shirt. “I didn’t do
anything.”
“Uh-huh,” I replied as my cheeks burned red, but unconvinced
by his answer.
You’re evil. Why do you think both the boys _and_ girls go
for you at school??
Unfortunately, some part of me thinks he’s not aware
of this because he was so focused on his shortcomings and Tohru. ^^;;;
We
each went home, got our uniforms, and went to school as if nothing ever
happened. I was passing by Tohru when she greeted me and I just bowed my head
from across the hall while Momiji ran up to her to ask if we could all eat lunch
together on the roof.
I was silent as usual as they talked, but luckily,
I got to look at my book briefly to cram as much stuff as I could inside of my
brain for the test next period.
“Are you all right?” Tohru finally asked
me and I looked up from my book to answer, “Yes. Everything’s fine.”
She
nodded her head. “Okay…”
Then, she pushed some of her onigiri towards me.
“Take some, please?”
I nodded and smiled. “Thank you.”
As Tohru
left a little bit early to talk with some people from her class, Momiji faced me
with a serious look on his face. “Haru?”
“Yes?” I answered while reading
my book again.
“Akito knows you were gone,” he told me while folding his
hands together.
I just bobbed my head listlessly, unconcerned.
I
would fight anything as long as it was for Yuki. And I wasn’t to give into
someone who thought that making people fear him was a means of ‘living’.
Then, his hands reached out for mine. With concerned eyes, he told me,
“Be careful.”
“Are you saying this for Akito or for me?” I asked while
looking back at him not really knowing how to feel at that moment.
“For
both of you,” he told me.
Momiji went to his room, but before
he did, he held my hand tightly before leaving me. I was instructed to go to
Akito’s room as soon as I stepped into the premises.
As I walked to his
room, I took a deep breath.
I didn’t know what to expect, but whatever it
was, I had touched a nerve.
I had touched Yuki in a way Akito never would
and I might as well as committed seppuku if he was going to rip my head apart
with his bare hands. Well, that’s what a sane person would do.
I wasn’t,
though.
When I got to his room, I was going to lift my hand to knock, but
he just simply said, “Come in, Hatsuharu.”
I stepped in with Akito’s back
to me.
When he turned around to face me, he told me to sit in front of
him. As soon as I did, his eyes became dark slits that tried to puncture me with
just their gaze.
SLAP!
I didn’t even blink or move as I felt the
throbbing of my left cheek.
“I warned you years ago, Haru, but you didn’t
listen to me. I-“ He stopped talking as he leaned closer to me. “That
scent…”
Suddenly, he grabbed my school uniform and tore the buttons open
while pushing his nose closely to my neck as if he were about to kiss me. I
could feel him tremble and his warm breath touched my
shoulder.
“No...No…” he laughed to himself while still holding me. “He is
MINE, Haru.”
“Yuki was given to me since birth. He was mine since the
beginning and I am giving him to no one else!!” Grabbing my uniform and looking
me straight in the eye, he asked me, “Do you understand?!”
I didn’t say
anything because it would be useless with him, but my eyes just looked at him
with determination.
“No, you don’t!” He then began to laugh as both of
his hands patted on my bare shoulders. I looked to one side as his touch
reminded me of ice.
“Yuki will always love that Honda girl. And I won’t
ever give him to anyone,” he told me quietly. “Do you think he can ever love you
when he fears me and can think of no one else but that girl that doesn’t love
him?”
I just stared at him without moving.
“Well, Haru, I will
tell you now that I’m not giving him away to anyone. Not even to himself.” He
let go of me as he smiled while grabbing a glass of water next to him. Then, he
threw the water to my face. “Wake up, Haru!”
I just pushed the water from
my eyes.
“I’ll give you a choice because I’m feeling generous today since
you don’t seem to understand what’s going on. You’ll get your punishment, but
not from me.” He then got up and looked down at me. “I will accept your
relationship with Yuki…”
I gasped as I looked at him as if he truly lost
his mind.
CRASH!
He took a fragment of the broken glass from the
wooden floor while coming next to me. Poking the broken shard around my heart, I
began to make a trail of blood onto the floor.
I bit my lip a little
from the pain.
“…if Yuki learns to love you, that is.” He smiled at me
evilly. “If he doesn’t, you kill yourself.”
Sick bastard…
I just
gave him a dirty look.
“Seems you don’t believe in yourself or Yuki as
much as you think.”
I looked to the ground as drops of my blood stained
the floor. Then, I looked into his eyes just to spite him.
Without a
second thought, I firmly
answered,
“Yes.”
Tsuzuku…

Author’s note: Whoa,
this is getting very, very interesting. I have some things in mind, but they’re
just plain evil to the point that I’m hesitating to write them. * blink, blink

But, let’s see what happens, k?
