D’Arrêt (Breaking Point) Chapter 2: Roof Tops
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Tohru sighed as she shut Kyou’s bedroom door. She’d been looking for him, and
had been able to find him. After looking in every place she’d seen him in earlier
that day, she decided that he was on the roof. She had to talk to him, it was
very important. She wanted him to know what was going on before Yuki, before
Shigure. She let her eyes fall to the depressed state that she was trying to
hide and climbed up the ladder to the roof. When she reached the top, she
gasped. Yuki and Kyou were laying side by side, curled up close to each other
asleep.
A gentle smile grew on her face as she looked at the two resting teens. She
climbed out onto the roof and sat at their feet. Even if they were asleep, she
was going to tell them. She had to, even if they were asleep, they deserved to
know.
"Kyou-kun, Yuki-kun.... I.. I’m leaving tonight after dinner. You get to
have one more dinner with me, and then I am leaving. I am moving out and... And
I am moving into the main house at Akito-san’s request. I will still be going
to school with the both of you... but I will no longer live with you or see you
every day after school. I will miss you both terribly, but I think I have
helped you both enough. Look at you, you’re asleep and not fighting and you’re
so close together. It is time for me to take on a greater task, the task of
helping Akito-san realize that he is a human too. Please don’t fight at dinner,
I want you both to be in good moods when I leave. Ai shiteru Kyou-kun,
Yuki-kun." Tohru smiled and kissed her own fingertips and gently placed
them to Kyou’s forehead, and then to Yuki’s. Her smile faded as she climbed
down off of the roof and went to find Shigure to tell him the news.
Yuki opened his eyes and sat up. She was leaving... somehow he couldn’t believe
it. He looked over at Kyou whose eyes were open and looking off into the
horizon.
"You weren’t asleep either."
"Iie, meditating... but I heard her...." Kyou sat up and looked at
Yuki. They both stared at each other for several minutes, then looked away.
Yuki brought his hands up to his chest and sighed. He was in shock. She was
being so calm... What did Akito have in mind for this girl? Their Tohru? He
looked over to Kyou and tried in vain to keep a gasp from escaping his mouth.
He was treated to the most beautiful sights ever. Kyou had his head bent
slightly towards his left shoulder with with his head turned ever so slightly
to the left. The wind caught his hair and blew it gently over his soft face as
it tickled and flirted with him. A stream of perfect tears were cascading down
his face, pooling near the corners of his mouth and dripping down to his chin.
His hands grasped his pants tightly, trying to stop the flow of tears. His jaw
clenched as he suddenly turned his head to find Yuki staring at him.
"What are you--" Kyou’s eyes opened wide as Yuki reached up and
brushed away the tears under his eyes. The charming Prince leant forward and
kissed Kyou gently on the lips. His lips lingered on Kyou’s for a moment, then
he pulled back from the other teen. He wasn’t sure if he’d just done the right
thing, but right now he didn’t care. Both were just struck with the news that
their crutch, their constant, was being taken from them. They needed each other
now more than ever.
Yuki smiled to himself inside. Kyou’s lips had tasted just like he’d imagined
all those times in his dreams. An intoxicating sweet that was at the same time
spicy. The taste had flooded his mouth, and he’d been left wanting more. He
leaned forward again, slower than before, and stopped just inches from Kyou’s
perfect mouth.
"Kyou.... I know it will be hard... with Tohru away... but let’s be
together and help each other... let me love you openly as I have loved you
secretly."
