    Summary

    She picks her head up, only to pause when she lands her eyes on the stranger’s face.

    It’s a man. Tall, lean, with stark black hair and an immovable scowl. His tie seems so tight that it strangles him.

    And his face.

    She knows she’s seen it somewhere before, which strikes her as odd; she’s never laid eyes on this man before. Then how…?

    That’s when it hits her.

    Summary

    For a split second, he notices the distance between their hands, how it would be so simple to move his a bit farther so they’re brushing hers, how they could hold the flower together.

    But he can’t. He won’t, no matter how much his body screams for him to.

    Summary

    I should ask a cashier about- and her thoughts are cut off when she slams into something solid, bouncing to the ground. 
    A wall? Her vision clears, a school uniform coming into view. Not a wall. 
    A…person…? 
    She lets her eyes travel upwards until she sees another pair staring down at her, frowning. It’s a boy. A really tall boy. With blond hair. Is he a gang member? she wonders.

    In which a collision in a jewelry store causes two unexpected pairs to meet.

    Summary

    She rests it on her lap as she sits next to him. He notices her cheeks are slightly red. “I got you something.”

    He raises an eyebrow. “You didn’t have to do that.”

    “I wanted to! And you deserve to have more on your birthday. I want it to be a happy day for you. So, um…” She shoves it at him, closing her eyes in nervousness. “Here!”

    He laughs as he grabs it, almost falling back on the bed from the present’s size and force of Tohru giving it to him. When he has a good hold on it, he leans in to peck her cheek. “Thanks.”

    Summary

    She joins him, immediately wrapping her arms around him and snuggling into his side.

    Kyo pauses, processes the situation, then chuckles and wraps his arms around her in return. “So this is what you wanted?” She presses closer. “I’ll take that as a yes.”

    They stay like that for a minute, never feeling more at home.

    Kyo knows he has a million chores to do, but he’ll never pass up the chance to hold his wife.

    Summary

    She sighs and reaches up to feel for her bandage. It doesn’t hurt like it used to, which must mean she’s getting better.

    She hates that.

    Because getting better means she’ll have to leave the hospital soon. She’ll have to stay at Shigure’s house once more.

    She’ll have to see him again.

    Summary

    “Can you come over?”

    Yuki blinks. His face feels warmer. “Huh?”

    “I just… I was wondering if…” A shorter pause. “You would help me clean my apartment?”

    Summary

    Suddenly, she’s moving, much before her brain ever told her to. Her subconscious takes over as she grabs his wrist, one of her legs still on the bed.

    Kyo stiffens at the surprise touch and turns his head. The expression on his face tells her how distraught she must look. She isn’t crying, but she feels so desperate.

    Her grip tightens slightly on his wrist as she looks into his eyes, her throat turning dry.

    “Please stay…”

    Summary

    “This feels familiar, doesn’t it?”

    He looks at the Tohru, the sunset behind them, the hardwood under his feet, the black shirt on his chest, the sheets around them. It makes him inhale sharply.

    Oh.

    It all comes flooding back.

    Summary

    For so long he’s felt the same for her, had merely glanced at her and a wave of want and need would reverberate through his body. And now he has her. He knows what she’s feeling, the sense of relief and joy and freedom that blankets both of them.

    So he does what he knows he has to do. He takes his free hand and wipes her tears. She opens her eyes which gaze directly into his, and he says it again; those three words he only said once today, and would say every day for the rest of his life.

    “I love you.”

    Summary

    Haru continues chewing his food. “Thanks. I’ve also come up with one for Kyo and Honda-san.”

    Yuki perks up at that. “What would it be?”

    “Well, I came up with ‘Kyoru,’ but it could also be ‘Tokyo.’” He shrugs. “Either one works, though I do like the first one more.”

    Summary

    She was then standing at Kyo’s desk way sooner than she was prepared for, but that small yet determined spirit in the back of mind took over as she said, “Kyo-kun.”

    Kyo’s head quickly snapped to Tohru; his expression visibly relaxed at the sight of her. “Hey. What’s up?”

    “W-well, I was wondering if…” The small voice persisted as Tohru closed her eyes and blurted, “if you would like to partner with me?”

    “...Huh?”

    Summary

    He knew back then that this girl was special. Though he couldn’t stand or comprehend why he instantly melted at the sight of her, his heart fluttering in ways he didn’t even know it could. He would curse himself for being drawn so closely to her in that way; he refused to understand why his thoughts slowly but surely became more about her, and only her.

    And here he was, two years later, free from a centuries-old curse, completely certain that he was madly, utterly, irrevocably in love with Tohru; the girl he ran home to on their first New Years together; the girl he was currently running at the speed of light for.
