Rivalry

“We’re fighting over-”

Smack, Kick, Punch!

“ITAI! What the hell was that for!?” Black Haru yelled. Kyou had hit him, making the boy topple over, unable to tell Yuki anything else.

Yuki sweatdropped. Now he was getting angry. Why didn’t he know what they were fighting over? Why wouldn’t they tell him? Although they were about to...But Kyou stopped. Why did the neko stop him?

“Yuki...I, I need to talk to you, in private.” Kyou said quietly, and nervously, gently grabbing Yuki by his wrist, and dragging him into their room, locking in behind him.

Haru sat on the floor. Super pissed.

Oh, he would definitely get Kyou back for that one.

“Kyou, what has gotten into you?” Yuki asked, and gasped when Kyou pushed him into a wall, his hands on either side of the rats head. Almost exactly the same way he had done it to Tohru, when he told her she may have to have her memories erased.

“K...Kyou, what’re you-” Kyou brought his face inches away from Yuki’s, starring into his eyes. Yuki starred back, not being able to think of anything. Starring in Kyou’s eyes was so.....Peaceful. They seemed full of emotions. Fear, nervousness, anger.

And...

Love?

It reminded him of the time Haru looked into his eyes under the bridge. It was so calming, even if it was black Haru. Yuki was never able to look people straight in the eye, it made him to nervous for some strange reason. But, looking into Kyou’s and Haru’s eyes, calmed him down.

“Yuki, I, I don’t really know how to say this, but I...” Kyou took a deep breath, his heart pounding in his chest, “I love you.” He whispered, his whole body was shaking. He said it! He actually said it.

Yuki gasped. Could it really be true? Could Kyou really love him? That means....

“Than, you and Haru, you’re fighting over...me?” Yuki asked.

“Yeah.” Kyou smiled, and laughed nervously. What was Yuki going to say now?

“Kyou, I..I really don’t know what to say.” Yuki said silently. He felt as though he was going to cry. He thought he liked Haru, but recent events had brought out feelings for Kyou as well. Who did he like more? Who did he love?

“That’s ok. I just wanted to tell you. Before, Haru did anything. Take your time. You don’t have to give me a response right away.” Kyou was feeling much better now. Although he was hoping that Yuki did in fact, feel the same way.

“Ok, Kyou.” Yuki said nervously, and wrapped his arms around Kyou, leaning his head on the neko’s shoulder. Kyou felt as though he was going to melt at that moment. Holding Yuki in his arms was perfect, and he never wanted this moment to end.

Bang!

The door flew open, lock breaking off the door, falling onto the ground. Yuki and Kyou pulled away quickly.

“Damn you! I loved him first! And I love him more. You hate him, or hated him. I don’t care! He’s mine!” Black Haru yelled.

“I love him.” Haru whimpered, turning back to his normal self.

Yuki frowned. This was going to be so hard. How can he be in love with one of them, and tell the other he wasn’t? He was going to hurt one of them.

“Haru,” Yuki walked up to the boy, hugging him gently. “It’s ok. I told Kyou, that I don’t know how I feel yet, so don’t be sad.” Yuki said gently, trying to calm down the younger boy.

“Yuki, can you sleep with me tonight? I won’t try anything. I promise.” Haru looked into Yuki’s eyes, hoping Yuki would agree.

“O..Ok Haru.” Yuki agreed. He didn’t want to make Haru sad, and he just wanted Haru and Kyou to stop their fighting.

“Thanks Yuki.” Haru smiled.

Uncomfortable silence blanketed the three boys for a few moments, before Yuki finally spoke up.

“So, where do you want to go today?” Yuki asked.
