You thought it would be much more enjoyable to cook them dinner than to offer something you stored in the fridge from the morning. Since your shift came in the afternoon, you decided to make an effort to get closer to the grey-haired boy by coming to his house.

It had been a couple of days since your encounter with Akito and you have been trying to contact Yuki more often. At first, you didn't know what you were supposed to do to "maintain" your friendship. Your relationship with Yuki always seemed to be left in the air, waiting to be taken. However, you knew from that very day. . .

. . . "Does it hurt to cry alone?" His hand stopped itself, his body staying still as you continued talking. ". . . I think that it does. . . being alone feels so scary. I don't think anyone in this world wants to feel alone." You brushed your hand against his knee, finding yourself becoming tired. His grey eyes remained focus on your figure, watching as your breaths slowed down. "I want to understand you."

You smoothly flipped yourself over, grasping onto his pale hand and pressing your rosy lips against his knuckles. He could feel your warm breath tickle the edges of his hand, sending shivers down his spine. You slowly closed your eyes, letting yourself relax on his thighs. "That room. . . you won't go back there anymore." You spoke gently, almost like a whisper, ". . . I promise, Sohma-san. . ."

"So. . . Is it selfish of me to stay by your side?"

There was something special between the two of you that never needed to be expressed in words.

You heard a couple of voices behind the door and some shuffling before the door slid open. Shigure greeted you casually while inviting you in. "Oh! What brings you here (Y/n)-kun?" He asked.

You lifted the basket full of food, "Dinner. I wanted to thank you for the other time when everyone invited me here."

"That's amazing! Perfect timing as well, Tohru-kun and Yuki's brother went out to eat and we didn't have anything." You took off your shoes before making your way to the table, seeing Kyo and Yuki sitting there watching television.

"(L/n)-san?" Yuki questioned, quickly standing up to meet with you, "What are you doing here at this time?"

"I thought it would be nice to cook everyone dinner, as a way to repay you for your previous invitation." You bowed in front of them politely, "I hope it's not too much to ask to use your kitchen."

Shigure waved his hand, "That's fine! You sure did come at a perfect time!"

"I see, I had no idea Sohma-san had a brother." You commented, turning around to the kitchen and opening your basket to reveal several containers. There were several filets of salmon that you recently purchased from the store that was marinated after you came back from your shift. They were a nice color already from the amount of time they slept in the marinade. If you had soaked the salmon in the miso for too long, it would become extremely salty.

"What are you making?" Kyo peered over your shoulder as you unlocked the lid. You took out the apron you brought with you and tied it around your back, securing it with a knot.
