Yuki x Reader

Story title: Frog prince

Hey guys! God I really love Fruits Basket. I watched the full 2019 adaptation from start to finish the other week and fell in love with the show again like I did when I watched the 2001 version 😍 I am a Kyo girl I'll be honest but I love Yuki too! This was requested by AshliDinkelman

Valentine's day.

We all know the drill. Wanting to give chocolates to your crush, getting nervous, being rejected. It was the usual timeline of events that occurred every time February rolled around. I had been through this before. Twice in fact. Once when I was a young kid and once again when I was in middle school. 

The first one we were just young kids and at least he was nice enough to let me down in private. That second one though, he just HAD to let me know in front of the whole class how much he didn't want to be with me. Yeah, that really made me feel confident to fall in love again. After that I found myself feeling more reclused, not wanting to open my heart up just so it could be stamped on again.

Yet here I was, a high school student and hopelessly in love with my classmate. And of course, my stupid heart had fallen for one of the most popular boys in the school. The prince of our school, Yuki Soma.

I felt stupid for falling in love with him. I knew it would never happen, he never got close to ANY girl apart from Honda Tohru and any other girl that tried was stopped by Yuki's fangirls. I was friendly with Tohru and her friends, I had even spoken to Yuki quite a few times, but most of the time I found myself alone just enjoying my own company. It wasn't as lonely as people expected it to be, I actually loved to spend time alone in my club room sewing things with music on.

With Valentine's day coming closer and closer, I found myself wanting to give him something special. Chocolates seemed like the best way to go but I knew he'd be getting plenty of them so I decided to use my own talents to create something special for him. 

I sat in the sewing club room alone, green fabric and string surrounding me as I carefully sewed materials together. My headphones were firmly on my head, the music making me feel calm. Nothing could distract me now as I carefully threaded the string through the needle. The rest of my club had gone home a while ago, giving me the perfect environment to work in.

"I really need to finish this for tomorrow." I mumbled to myself as I looked over my progress. It shouldn't take too much longer but my hand is starting to hurt. I looked down at my hand, plasters decorated my fingers, showing all my mistakes. I probably should have done this before the literal day before. As I was staring down at my fingers I saw a shadow cover them, causing me to swipe my headphones off and swish around.

"(Y/N)-san what are you doing here so late?" The noise that came out of me could only be compared to a squeak as I stared at Yuki. He was just standing there, his usual calming expression on his face and his eyes slightly scanning the table.  "Y-Yuki! E-Erm I'm doing nothing!" I used my whole body to cover as much of my secret project as possible, a weak smile on my face. 

"(Y-Y/N)-san what's wrong?" He put a hand forward and I mirrored him. "I-It's something you can't see!" I fumbled with my words, unsure how to handle the situation I was in. I pulled a big roll of felt out over my work and finally relaxed. "How come you're still here Yuki?" I asked as I composed myself. He gave a short laugh and began to talk about his day. I felt calm as he spoke, his voice so captivating to me. I wish I could just tell him how I feel and have it all work out. How lovely would that be? 

I've already accepted rejection. I will face it tomorrow properly and let my love die.

I packed up all my things and took them home to continue my work into the night and before long, the next day arrived. Valentine's day. I watched the cascade of chocolate boxes tumble out of Yuki's locker as I changed my shoes in the morning and felt a sense of dread fill me. What if he thinks it's stupid? Oh god what if I've messed up...
