Vacation (Fruits Basket, Ayame/Hatori/Shigure)

While the other boys snuck out to check out Kyoto’s notorious red light district, they stayed in. For them, the real vacation was being out of the Souma household and not having to sneak around to spend a certain amount of ‘quality time’ together. Their classmates knew and respected the three boys’ reputation, which was probably how they’d ‘lucked out’ and ended up the odd pair for room assignments.

Shigure would have pitied any poor soul that might have gotten stuck with them, particularly considering the kind of rampage Ayame was on right now. Ayame was adamant that they go check out the town, and would have stormed out without them if Hatori’s glare hadn’t stopped him. Shigure was tempted, but the idea of staying in their room, blissfully alone, sounded a lot better. Besides, he didn’t see much point in paying money for something he could get for free.

Hatori had used less kind words, ones that a high schooler really shouldn’t be able to rattle off with such ease. Shigure was proud. He’d taught Hatori those words and a number more like them.

He had a feeling they’d have a new nickname when they got back – ‘the inseparable trio so used to sex that even the red light district didn’t tempt them’. If they didn’t, Shigure was tempted to start the rumor himself.
