Fictional Boyfriend #3

This next character comes from my favorite graphic novel series, Fruits Basket. His name is Kyo Sohma. So many things about Kyo are adorable... that insanely bright orange hair, his nice, lean body, and don't forget the part where he turns into a cat if hugged by the opposite sex. That's right girls, you can't touch him. His curse prevents him from really being able to have a normal boyfriend/girlfriend relationship. Many girls would freak when they went to hug a boy and they turned into a cat the moment they wrapped their arms around him. That's why Tohru Honda is so perfect for him. Even those he's the outcast of the family (read the origins of the Chinese Zodiac to understand why...), Tohru loves him the most. All the other cursed people who turn into members of the Zodiac look down on him, but not Tohru (Tohru is a normal human who has a lot of compassion and accidently stumbles upon the Sohma family secret. For some reason, Akito lets her keep that secret and doesn't have her memory erased like all the other regular humans that stumble across the secret.) When Tohru first met him, Kyo was the ultimate jerk. But after awhile, Kyo began to become soft through Tohru's compassion towards him. Just the way he acts around her is completely amazing. He loves her so much that he's afraid to tell her because she may feel bad that she doesn't return the feeling. Tohru really is that type of person... She would feel horrible if someone told her the strength of their feelings towards her and she didn't return the feeling. Boy how wrong Kyo is... so far, they both love eachother, but neither one knows how the other one feels... We'll see what happens in Vol. 21, which comes out in November.
