dream ღ 03

[breakthebonds]

Warnings: Spoilers for Chapter 75 of the manga. Sappy, warm and fuzzy feelings? XD

Effects: [Optional] At first, there's a feeling of confusion. It then switches to a mixture of being touched by someone's kindness but there's an underlaying sense of sadness underneath, like your heart's just been broken.

It was a first for Tohru, being the one who climbed to the roof of Shigure's house to do some thinking instead of a certain cat of the zodiac. She had found that Kyou had the right idea. Her head felt clearer, like she could really sort out her thoughts with no interruptions. She wasn't alone for long. Kyou had followed her to the roof, taking her by surprise.

"This is unusual," he said. "That you climbed to the roof."

Tohru was silent but that didn't stop the boy from sitting beside her. He spoke again after a few minutes.

"Did you go exploring today?"

"Eh?"

"Your clothes, they were really dirty when you came home."

Tohru lowered her head. She couldn't let Kyou know that she went to the Main House to visit Kureno.

"Ah... yes. I was only able to do the bare minimum."

"Huh?"

Tohru fidgeted in her seat. As much as she wanted to tell the boy the reason she really went out, she couldn't not just yet. However, she found herself telling Kyou what had been plaguing her mind ever since she climbed up to the roof. The wind picked up suddenly, making the girl shiver.

"... Wanting to be with the person you like," Tohru hugged her legs, bring them closer to her body. "You want... to be by their side..."

It was Kyou's turn to be silent. He dropped his gaze from Tohru, choosing to look out into the view instead.

"... What, did you get yourself a boyfriend?"

That made Tohru panic, shaking her head furiously. "EH!? N-N-NO NO! NOT ABOUT ME.."

Kyou smiled a half smile at her reaction. What he said next came as another surprise for Tohru. "Don't worry. When you do get one... I'll give you my support."

Saying that Tohru was stunned at Kyou's words was understatement. She gaped at him, looking like she was still processing what he said in her mind. She then lowered her gaze, her voice broke when she answered him.

"... Ah, okay. Thank..."

Before she knew it, tears were starting to fall from her eyes.

"Why..." Looks like it was the boy's turn to panic. He really didn't expect this to be her reaction. "Why're you're crying?!"

"I-I don't know... For some reason t-tears suddenly..." Tohru sniffed, using her fingers to wipe away the tears forming in her eyes. "Wh... Why did this..."

It was like she was feeling everything at once. Her chest felt like it was going to burst. From what, she had no idea. What Kyou said, it had indeed touched her, but what she didn't understand why it made her feel sad at the same time. It would seem like she knew what Kureno, Arisa, and Momo were going through.

Having an unrealizable wish...

After a few minutes, Tohru was able to gather her bearings. She dropped her hands from her face and said:

"... What is your "wish", Kyou-kun?"

The boy reached out, using the back of his sleeve to wipe away a tear Tohru missed.

"... That a certain someone would stop crying."

"... Okay."

And then, the dream faded.

[Tohru wakes up with a start, her hand reached up to touch her face. She was crying herself.]

What...?

[She chuckles to herself, using the back of her wrist to wipe away her tears.]

I can't believe... I still remember that.

[The Dreamberry feed is still on, showing the girl still trying to stop herself from crying.]

(Another dream from another human wrapped up in her insignificant little life. Yes, he could understand the gist of the dream. A girl likes some boy, yet for some reason can't or is afraid of telling the boy and instead tries to pass it off as something as ridiculous as 'exploring'. Wrath is about to observe the dreamer further, when he sees the girl crying and as usual, snaps.)

Stop_your whining.

(Wrath tacks on some elderly advice. Woman and man are the same except for the physiological differences, yes? Of course they are.)

If you know what is good for you--(He glowers down at her. Wrath wants to naturally, threaten to kill her and her ignorant love interest. But instead what comes out is--)

You will sieze_your_mate by force.

[breakthebonds]

HUWAH!

[Tohru yelps, dropping the Dreamberry to the ground. Sorry Wrath but that cuts off the connection.]

*Well, America has something very simple to say to this girl. All she needs is more courage!*

Hey, if you like that guy so much, you should just come out and say so!

[breakthebonds]

[Easier said than done, America.]

E-ehh?! [Tohru could only assume that this man had seen her dream. And it had to be something really personal too! ;;] B-but I-I can't! No...

[Plus, she already did and basically got shot down. XD]

[codenamehero.livejournal.com]

*But it's not like America can mind read that tho :O*

They say love is a war you know! And it looked like the guy fancies you too - give it a shot!

[His voice is quiet]

Are you alright Honda-san?

[Video]

[breakthebonds]

I'm... I'm all right, Yuki-kun.

[A beat]

I'm sorry you had to see that.

[Video]

[cursed_mouse]

It's fine Honda-san. As long as you're alright.

[cursebound]

[Even if they did live in the same house, Kyou couldn't find himself to talk to her in person right now. Not after something like that and well... what had happened the month prior between the two of them.]

...I still would, you know?

[breakthebonds]

[Things have been tense between them. As much as Tohru wants to talk to Kyou in person, she gives him his space.]

I, um, [She wipes her eyes again.] I know, Kyou-kun. Thank you...

[Putting a hand on her chest, trying to will the pain she felt to go away.]

[cursebound]

[He sighs a little as he looks at her through the Dreamberry.]

You're still crying?

[video]

[This is one of the reasons that Kazuma had left Kyou at that house. He knew that with Tohru he would eventually grow a little and not shut himself away, that he would start to open up to someone besides Kazuma. He smiles softly as he sets down the wood he had in his hands.]

I do not see a reason why you would have forgotten something like that.

[video]

[breakthebonds]

[Well, this is really embarrassing. //// Tohru fumbles with the Dreamberry before answering Kazuma.]

S-S-S-Shishou-san!?

[video] 2/2 I lied

[breakthebonds]

I... [She gulps, her face was definitely red.] It was...

['A good memory. But a painful one too...']

[video]

[zodiac-shishou.livejournal.com]

[Kazuma maintains his warm smile, he suddenly had the feeling that he wasn't meant to see the dream. Still it was a good insight as to how the two had started to get to know one another.] I see, perhaps I should make some tea to help you calm down.

[Even though Tohru is crying, it's clear to anyone how much she clearly likes the boy. Love trouble is so something Jessamine can help people with.]

Oh, Tohru don't cry! Your face is going to puff up and honestly, your face is too pretty for that.

[breakthebonds]

J-J-Jessamine-san! I'm not--[She shakes her head furiously.] I'm, I'm fine! Y-You don't need to worry!!

[djasgdjksgdkjgd orz;;;]

[halfthelady.livejournal.com]

Darling, you were crying a minute ago and over a boy no less. If he's worth tears then I obviously need to meet him.

[hypnoun.livejournal.com]

[Cute. Romantic woes, her favorite thing in the world.]

A-Are... Are you alright?

[breakthebonds]

O-oh yes! I-I'm fine! There's no need to worry, miss!

[hypnoun.livejournal.com]

Are you sure, miss? You looked like you were, u-um... Crying...

[centerofthering]

[Have a wistful sigh here.]

That was one of the most adorable things ever!

[breakthebonds]

T-T-Ty Lee-san!

U-um, thank you...

Kazuma had already gotten fire wood and stacked it next to the fire place, though he had made his way with the idea of making tea. Granted Kio had hidden the tea pot knowing how horrible Kazuma was at cooking and that the karate master was incapable of even making simple tea without almost burning the entire cottage down or smoking out the kitchen. Finally finishing with speaking with Tohru he tucked the dreamberry away, greeting them as they entered. "Good morning."

[Action]

[breakthebonds]

"Ah, good morning Shishou-san."

Tohru quickly makes her way to one of the cupboards, opening one of them that held the tea pot inside.

"Here it is." She puts it down on the counter before poking her head in it again. "The tea leaves are in here as well. I'll just get them."
