In the meantime Akito is just sitting there.
He understood now what had caused his insanity and cruel behavior towards the others.
As Kyou appeared before them he just wanted to kiss the boy and hold him forever.
It slowly sank in that his Kyou hadn't been touched in any way and would be able to break the curse.
But had Kyou really forgiven him?
It was Akitos fault that everyone was against the cat, that Kyou was unhappy his whole life!
He would rather die than have Kyou bound to him when the boy didn't want him.
Never again would he hurt a member of his family. Specially Kyou!
Now he could at least ask him for forgiveness!
With that thought in mind Akito stood up.
He couldn't stand on his own and just as he sank back down two pair of hands supported him.
As he looked to his right he saw Haru and as he turned his head he saw...
Yuki!
Smiling gently at him!
"You want to go to Kyou, right Akito?" Yuki asked quietly.
He understood the need for forgiveness and saw that Akito was weak. He had been weak before, but the memories and the emotional strain of the last hours had been too much for him.
He also saw the longing in Akitos eyes but also fear.
The head of the Sohma family thought he wasn't worth Kyou's love, because of what he did to everyone.
Haru and Yuki had been holding each other as they saw Akito sank down and it was reflex to catch him.
Yuki didn't feel the fear he felt before and now Akito had a normal aura and not one of insanity.
Haru always supported Yuki. The two had been together for two month and nobody had known. The wanted it to remain their secret because they feared Akitos rage. The former Akito had always been possessive with Yuki. But now they knew why. His feelings had been twisted by an outward source.
Now Akito should have the chance to love Kyou freely he should have had a long time ago.
And the bonus was that the curse would be broken.
It didn't matter to Haru and Yuki if they would turn into animals if a girl touched them.
They were together and wanted to remain that way. They didn't need girls.
Just each other!
Kyou saw Akito react after a long time and started towards him as he couldn't
seem to stand.
Before he could reach him Haru and Yuki were at his side.
That surprised him, because Yuki had always feared Akito so much.
But then he remembered that Yuki and the others (himself included) now knew the truth.
He couldn't believe that Akito had loved him as they were still children. But then he remembered the tension and attraction he had always felt towards the other and the love that lay hidden. Which had been betrayed by Akito as the other threw him out and let him get beat up. Or so he thought. Akito had been a victim in this too. His whole life had been directed by others and he never had the chance to life after his own mind.
‚What if he doesn't love me anymore?'
‚He would be forced to marry me to break the curse!'
Otherwise he would die!!!
Kyou wouldn't let Akito die...NEVER!!!
He would marry Akito and then leave him so he could live a normal life and choose a mate of his own.
It wasn't important that Kyou would die inside when Akito found another one.
Akito, supported by Haru and Yuki went towards Kyou who stood there and seemed to be deep in thoughts.
He was so beautiful.
The golden skin
The red hair, slightly mused, as if he had been out of bed just minutes before.
The eyes so wonderful, now glassed over.
He must look like that in the throes of passion.
The cheeks slightly flushed.
Underneath him while he thrusts in and out of him.
Their hands clasped together.
The long, strong but thin legs around his waist.
Pushing him deeper inside Kyou.
The beautiful voice. Moaning and pleading him for more and deeper and harder.
The narrow waist perfectly to hold on to.
The sexy ass.
Perfect to fit inside his palm.
Perfect to thrust into.
Perfect to be squeezed.
Just as Akito thought he would come from the thoughts alone Kyou focused fully on him and something seemed to snap.
Akito got down on his knees in front of Kyou.
"Please Kyou, forgive me! I know you will not love me anymore but please
at least forgive me for the pain and loneliness I caused. Yuki forgave me but
your opinion matters more to me. I don't care if I die in two weeks but please
forgive me. You don't have to worry about the curse. As I see the majority of
the family that matters is either gay or part of the cursed ones. You don't
have to love me but please forgive me!!! I love you, Kyou!"
With that Akito sank forward and put his face against Kyou's stomach and embraced his waist loosely.
Kyou heard the word rush out and understood everything.
Akito still loved him but was frightened that Kyou hated him.
Also would Akito rather die than coerce him into anything. He wasn't interested in lifting the curse because every person that matter seemed to be happy.
Yuki had Haru.
Shigure had Hatori and Ayame.
Momiji seemed to have taken a liking to Ritsu.
And Kisa had Hiro.
They were the only ones that matter.
The others could rot in hell.
And the ones without the curse could go away and he wouldn't be sad.
‚But what will happen if Kisa and Hiro had a child and it will be cursed because I didn't break it as I had the chance?'
He knew he couldn't do that. He would have to break the curse forever.
And than there was Akito...
He had forgiven the man.
That much he knew.
And he still loved him. It came back as he learned about the betrayal on Akito by his own mother and her lover.
Now, after the confession Akito made, he knew that he had to try to have a loving relationship with the man.
It shouldn't be impossible cause Akito still loved him and he loved him.
And the feeling as Akito held him gently.
The closeness was to much and Kyou sank down and took Akito in his arms.
He smelled so good and it felt so right... like he had been born to be there!
"It's alright, Kito-chan! I have forgiven you. Mainly because it wasn't your fault. I don't hate you. I still love you! Only you. I haven't loved anybody since I meet you and that was just after my birth. I have never been with anyone so you will have to be patient with me and teach me how to have a relationship. And I think it is time for the whole curse to end!"
Kyou whispered it all into Akitos ear but ended more quietly as he felt embarrassed.
