A/N: I was listening to the Savage Garden song "Hold me" just after reading a review requesting that I insert a HaruXKyo scene into my other story and this just sort of happened. It's probably terrible but here it is.


-----------------------------------------

Kyo looked out of the window, searching for the source of the strange, yet familiar sound, coming from the nearby woods. He was alone for the day, and had been bored out of his mind. The trees moved and out of the darkness of their trunks he caught sight of the maker of the sounds.

"Oh, no. Not again." He rose and went to the front of the house. He stood on the porch staring out at the new inhabitant of the clearing. "I don't even want to know how. Just get in here." And he backed up to make room for the other to pass him. Slowly following into the entry he stood back, and waited.

"You did say you didn't want to know? Right?" came the only response from the large spotted bovine before him. Kyo shook his head and crossed before his cousin.

"Come on, let's go find something for you to wear before you change back." Kyo had always kept a few extra articles of clothes around just incase. He stepped into the hall and motioned for Hatsuharu to follow. Shaking his head once again as he turned away.

"It was an accident. I don't think anyone saw. And then, luckily I was near the house." came some hasty explanations.

"I said I didn't want to know." Kyo never even turned around. His thoughts running ahead at the time anyway. Haru hadn't visited them for some time. Distraught over the relationship between Yuki and Tohru. Kyo had tried to make him feel better about it, claiming the oshii was better off without clinging to that stupid crush he had on the rat. Haru had lapsed into a depression and Kyo had heard he hadn't even gone black since then. "How are you doing these days?" He asked. It was a simple question. Kyo was only trying to figure out if the depression was as bad as Momiji had said. Haru stopped on the stairs and looked up at him. Kyo turned when the sound of hoofs had ceased on the wooden steps.

"I am okay. I guess. I think I am coming to terms with things. Why do you ask?" There was some obvious need in the voice and mannerism, Kyo could tell.

"I guess I was worried about you. Haven't I always taken care of you? Ever since we were kids." He just stood there and suddenly couldn't make eye contact. "I guess you could say you are my best friend." Kyo tapped his foot in frustration at having to admit something so personal to anyone, even the cow.

"yeah, that's true. Thank you, Kyo." and suddenly, Haru stood before him. Fully human, fully naked and smiling like a goon.

"Argh. Come on, let's get you dressed." and with that they continued their progress up the stairs.




Dinner was a strained thing. At least Yuki and Tohru had refrained from all that sappy stuff they usually pulled at meal times. You know, like feeding each other and making moony eyes and stuff. Just gross enough to make the milk curdle. And Kyo lost his appetite if he didn't eat fast. But, poor Haru would have been a wreck if they hadn't decided to behave like civilized people today. Now, to just get through it before they couldn't hold it in anymore.

"I'm done, and I am going up to the roof. Hey, Haru want to join me? The air is great up there. And you can see for miles." Kyo stood and looked down on his cousin. Haru was staring off in no particular direction, and he suddenly took note that Kyo was talking to him.

"Huh? Oh, that sounds great. Sure I'll come with you. Goodnight, Tohru, Shigure and Yuki. Let's go." and they had escaped. Kyo could just imagine how long it would take after they left the room, for those two to latch onto each other. Oh, well.

"See, it's great up here." He said as they finally reached the roof. Haru sat beside him and scanned the horizon. It was new for him, as he had not been on the roof with Kyo before. Afraid of falling, he was not as nimble as the cat. But, tonight it seemed okay.

"It is a great view. I can see why you come up here." Kyo smirked at him.

"No, you can't. But, thanks for trying. Are you okay?" It seemed he asked that a lot these days. Haru didn't look at him, as he nodded lightly. Kyo was all but lost with what next step to take to give comfort to his younger cousin. Haru looked lost and alone. He seemed to have gone right from white to transparent. It broke the cat's heart, and he strained to think of something. Carefully he wrapped his arm around the sagging shoulders next to him, and pulled his cousin closer. "It isn't all that bad, is it? I mean, it's not like anything was ever going to happen, with that stupid homophobic rat, after all?" Haru turned to him, a shocked expression on his face.

"Y-Yuki i-is. . . . . ?" he stuttered.

"Naw, I just wanted to get your attention. But, he is straight all the way. Once when we were fighting, I was still on my feet, he was real close and just to get a rise out of him, I kissed him. Man, you shoulda seen him freak!" Kyo laughed and Haru chuckled easily.

"I could see him doing that."

"Yeah, like that time you told him you were going to 'make him yours'. He looked like he was going to kill you just for saying it where someone could hear it."

"Yeah. But, that never did happen." Haru sighed. "Is he really happy with Tohru?"

"I guess. I don't know. They do all that stuff, kids do. But, I don't ask. I don't wanna hear about it, you know?" Kyo shivered at the thought. Haru nodded, smiling for the first time with an honest smile.

"Yeah, that would be to much. Kyo? Have you ever cared for someone that much?" Haru looked at him and Kyo couldn't speak. Had he ever loved anyone? He turned away. Swallowed, and felt the sweat building on his palms. Gods yeah, he had. But, how could he tell anyone, especially Haru about it. Not, when his cousins feelings
were raw like they were now. But, then again, maybe now would be the time to confess. It just might be the best medicine for the pains the oshii was feeling. Kyo was caught. He turned to the haggard look on poor Haru's face. He sighed.

"Yeah. I have." Haru looked hopeful and surprised. "I still do. It isn't something I have ever told anyone about. A secret love."

"Kyo! I certainly didn't know." Of course not, especially not Haru. He averted his gaze once more.

"I couldn't tell you. And you were always going on about Yuki-this and Yuki-that. It just wouldn't have been good timing." He turned back to see Haru looking at him with a shocked expression. Kyo needed to change the subject now. He was not comfortable with where this was going. "Let's go in, it's getting cold and late." It wasn't but Haru didn't argue the point.

Once back into the house, they took turns getting ready for bed. Kyo had found some pajamas for Haru and soon they were climbing onto the futon in the converted study that Kyo called his room. The house was silent and dark, everyone else had long since gone to sleep. But, Kyo was restless. He had almost shared his most treasured secret and it had scared him.

Haru on the other hand had drifted off to sleep easily for the first time in weeks. He was at ease around Kyo, and his mind drifted off into a familiar dream. He was smiling in his sleep and unconsciously snuggled closer to Kyo. The cat was not oblivious to this, and he was starting to become just a little too uncomfortable with the cows proximity. He tried to shift away only to find an arm snaking it's way around his waist and pulling him closer. Haru mumbled something in his sleep and Kyo could feel himself break out in a sweat. Gods, he was in trouble now.

"Haru. Haru wake up. Come on, I can't move. Haru." No effect. Haru slept like the dead. His dream taking him to the same happy place. Only in this dream the vision of Yuki was gone. Haru looked around in his mind and searched for his first love only to find Kyo sitting on a log in the woods, shaking his head and telling him that it was okay. Yuki was gone. But, he would always be there to help Haru. The oshii smiled in his sleep and burrowed closer to the body next to him.

Kyo was now totally uncomfortable. He couldn't move, was sweating and a certain cousin had his leg laying across his crotch. How was he supposed to get out of this mess. Top it off with the start of an erection and he was doomed. He turned to see the smile cross Haru's face and he couldn't hold it back anymore. Proximity was perfect, he only had to shift ever so slightly to place their lips directly in contact. He pressed on, and soon found his cousin had parted his lips to allow admittance.
He took it.

Haru's dream was slowly unraveling. He was stepping up to the dream/Kyo and being pulled into a close hug. The hug morphed into an embrace, that quickly became a kiss. He was happy. He felt loved and soothed. He opened his eyes, to find Kyo's lips pressed to his and a questing tongue in his mouth. He was wrapped around the cat and through the fabric of his pants he could feel the burgeoning erection pressing up to his knee. It only took a minute for him to take advantage of the events enfolding him. He let his tongue join in the dance, and tasted the flavor of Kyo.

Kyo was immediately aware of the change as Haru took posession of the kiss he had begun. He released control and moaned lightly into the mouth before him. Haru began to slowly move his leg over the heated organ of his cousins and Kyo stiffened under him.

"Kyo." it was spoken without the benefit of breath as the oshii had none to spare. Kyo slid his head into the crook of Haru's neck and tried to regain selfcontol. His ears were ringing from the feeling of the blood rushing through his brain cells.

"It's you, okay?" Was all he said. Haru pulled his face up to him. He nodded and claimed the mouth before him. Kyo was now almost incoherent as he panted into the mouth of the one cousin he had wanted to give all this to. Haru moved over him and slid that knee between Kyo's thighs. The pressure was intense and as Haru moved over him in a slow and steady movement, Kyou could feel his cousin returning his need and the firm press of flesh against his closest thigh. Oh, was that good.

Haru raised up and looked into the glassy crimson eyes below him and ran his hand over Kyo's jawline to slip his thumb across swollen lips as Kyo focused again. Haru looked at him questioningly, and Kyo slipped his tongue out to gently lap at the thumb, and then whispered. "I want to. Please."

Haru closed his eyes as he felt the thumb pulled into the warm cavity below it. Kyo pulled at him and sucked greedily at the digit. Haru shifted his weight and the friction was almost unbearable. He lifted again as he felt hands pulling at the elastic of the pajama bottoms he wore. Then, the fabric slipped away down his thighs. He rolled over as the hands pushed him back and then the hands pulled at his raised hand and Kyo's mouth closed over two new fingers, even as he divested himself of the cumbersome clothing.

Kyo released his fingers and Haru opened his eyes. Scarlet met Charcoal and the unspoken message was received. Haru pushed back and soon he had Kyo below him again. Kyo held around his shoulders as once again the cow had his mouth locked into a passion filled kiss and he moved his hand down the expanse of Kyo abdomen to the region of greatest need. Kyo spread his legs and lifted them over Haru's back as the white haired youth allowed moist fingers to find their way beyond the point of no return, and press ever so gently to the virgin orafice begging for him.

Kyo moaned low in his throat as the muscles gave way and a mild burning sensation told him that his cousin had begun. Only to increase as a second finger pushed in to join the first and they moved to a dance of their own choosing. Kyo was now holding his labored breaths as he fought to hold in a scream as his body reacted to the sensation of pain and pressure. Haru was almost frightened by the sight of his closest cousin in such distress and if not for the way Kyo was weaving his fingers into the darker portions of his hair, he would have stopped.

"Kyo?" was all he could say, and the cat's eyes flew open to expose the hunger and need there. Kyo was nodding for him to keep going and Haru pressed a third finger to his cousins opening. Now, he could see Kyo's mouth opened wide and his panting labored as he adjusted to this new intrusion. How could Haru possible go any further, he didn't want to cause Kyo pain. He was prepared to withdraw when he heard his cousin growl out, "Don't you dare stop!" and he was struck with a rush of desire so intense that it required immediate attention. He pulled his fingers out and moved to take their place. Kyo just watched him with lust filled eyes, as he entered the warm moist cavity and felt the muscles tighten in an attempt to fight his penetration. Kyo hissed, and Haru couldn't hold back the satisfied moan of completion as he found himself fully seated within his cousin. He held himself still and ran his hands up and down Kyo's sides as the cat slowly relaxed below him.

"Do it now. Haru, do it now." Kyo begged and Haru began to move within him. He was pulling at the back of the collar to Kyo's shirt as his lips locked upon those of his lover, and pressing painfully he was sure. But, the only response it got was a renewed frenzy of the fingers on his neck and in his hair. Kyo pulled him closer, keeping him there as the movement of their lower bodies created the irrisitable feelings of friction and the tingling of needles along exposed skin. Haru could feel a tightening of the muscles in his stomach and he shifted to attempt to alleviate it, only to find he was pressing Kyo's forgotten erection between them, and with each shift Kyo gasped all the louder. Haru felt selfish for his neglect and moved to take his cousin in his hand and slowly stoke him until he built momentum and gained to the speed and rythym of his own thrust. Kyo called out only once and then his whole body convulsed beneath the startled cow, and squeezing around Haru's own organ in his release. Haru gasped at the intensity of the feeling and moved all the faster, until soon he too was pulsing out his fulfillment.

Once his body quivered to a stop, he fell away and attempted to regain normal breathing. Kyo was lax beside him and the covers had long since been lost. He pulled himself next to the smaller redhead and laid his hand on the heaving chest. Kyo turned to look into the charcoal eyes that regarded him

"Still want that K'so Nezumi?" He asked.

"Who?" and Kyo smiled as he pulled Haru closer. The cow reached for the blankets and dragged them over the exposed skin of his best friend, and now lover.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner? You stupid cat, we could've saved so much time." and they drifted off to satiated sleep.
