Story 1: Stuffed Animals

Paring(s): YukixTohru

“Can we play that one next?! Pretty please?” Tohru squealed in excitement, pointing towards the colorful booth. Kyo and Yuki had taken Tohru to the nearby amusement park because it was warm outside and there wasn’t any school that day. It was also their combined present for White Day.

Yuki smiled slightly from his place at Tohru’s left, motioning for Kyo and Tohru to come with him, “Sure, Honda-san. I guess we can do that one next.”

The group started walking across the amusement park towards a group of game booths.

“Why do you want to play this game, Tohru?” Kyo asked as they advanced towards the booth. It was one of those squirt-gun games where you have to squirt the water in the clown’s mouth long enough for the bar to reach the top.

“I don’t really know, Kyo-kun, I just want to try it.” Tohru giggled as the group arrived at the booth. Tohru, Kyo, and Yuki sat down at the bar-stools, grabbing a gun in each of their hands.

The worker stood up, “The object of the game is to make the bar go to the top first. To make the bar go up, you have to shoot the water directly into the clown’s open mouth. The water will turn on automatically, so you don’t need to hold any button down.

There were a total of 7 people playing, including Kyo, Tohru, and Yuki. Everyone nodded, focusing on the clown’s face and waiting for the water to turn on so they could start playing.

“Ready?” the worker counted down, his hand hovering over a button on the counter top. The button was the thing that started the water.

“Set?” the worker counted down.

Tohru felt Kyo and Yuki concentrate next to her. She also concentrated on the clown’s mouth, feeling that she had a chance to win.

“GO!” the worker shouted, pressing the button. Water immediately shot from the gun in a steady stream.

Tohru, Kyo, and Yuki, like all the other contestants, were aiming their guns at the clown’s mouth. In the lead were Yuki and Kyo, followed shortly by Tohru. Everyone else was behind Tohru.

“I’m gunna beat you!” Kyo shouted.

“No, I am.” Yuki said, calmly but demandingly.

“No! I am!” Kyo protested.

“I am!” Yuki’s voice raised a little.

“No, you damn rat! I will beat you! I will always beat you!” Kyo challenged.

“Sorry to break the news to you, but you haven’t beaten me once, stupid cat.” Yuki teased.

“I will beat you! I have dedicated my life to beat you!” Kyo announced.

“And look where that dedication has gotten you…absolutely nowhere!” Yuki sighed.

“I won’t lose! Don’t you see! I’m in the lead!” Kyo exclaimed.

Yuki noticed something as he looked up from the clown’s mouth and to the rising bars, “Actually, Tohru is.”

Kyo blinked, surprised at what Yuki had said, “What?”

Tohru smiled, more to herself than the boys as she noticed Yuki wasn’t lying; she was in the lead. Her bar reached the top first, the bell sounding off as it did.

“Looks like this little missy won.” The worker announced, turning off the water. He smiled at Tohru, “You can choose your prize now.” He held out 2 stuffed animals for her to choose from.

Tohru’s breath caught in her throat.

The stuffed animals were a cat and a rat.

A Cat.

A Rat.

Tohru mentally cursed the world for making her choose between these two stuffed animals. It was exactly like choosing between Kyo and Yuki, but only metaphorically.

Tohru felt Kyo and Yuki stiffen at her sides as they realized how powerful this situation was.

The worker was confused why Tohru hesitated in choosing her prize, “Miss? Would you please select a prize…?”

Tohru nodded, sighing quickly and taking a glance at the boys before reaching her hand out and choosing her stuffed animal prize.

A small grey rat.

Yuki smiled and Kyo glared at him.

The worker beamed, oblivious to the situation that had just taken place, “Thank you for playing, everyone, have fun!”

He then turned around and placed the stuffed cat back on the shelf, letting it wait for the right person to come along.
