This is a revision, I wasn't happy with how the story was turning out so I'm making a new one. I hope you guys enjoy this. :)
Living with the Sohmas wasn't always easy, but I wouldn't change it for anything and everything.
Living with Yuki,
Kyo,
Shigure,
Getting to know the other Sohmas.
But, Akito has been getting meaner and a bit harsher over the last few days. I guess he was getting mad about the fact that Hatori said it'd be in the best financial interest of the family to move somewhere else.
Even another school district.
Ouran Academy to be exact.
I was rather excited for the new move. I wonder what Ouran Academy has to offer. Sports? Clubs? I know it's for rich kids, but maybe there was more than meets the eye.
I mean, look at the Sohmas.
Tohru Honda was pulling the clothes off the pins of the rack outside of the Sohma house that were drying from the night before. She folded them up, and placed them in the laundry basket. Once, she finished the load she looked up at the sky. She smiled brightly to herself and sighed.
"I'll do my best to make the best of this move mom. I promise." She muttered.
"Hey! Tohru!" came Kyo Shoma's voice from inside.
"Oh, oh yes Kyo?" Tohru called back.
"Are you done with the laundry? I need my blue shirt." He explained.
"Yeah yeah." She answered.
She quickly came into the house and handed Kyo the laundry basket.
"Here ya go," she said with a smile, "I just finished your clothes. All that is left is Shigure's. Although I keep finding stains in his pants."
Kyo's eye went up in a bit of shock.
"Oh! Sweet Tohru! No need for you to worry about my jeans, sometimes they can be a bit too tight and..." Shigure Sohma sang playfully.
"DO YOU HAVE TO BE SUCH A PERV!" Kyo barked.
"Oh well he wouldn't be Shigure if he wasn't." Tohru said.
"Oh Tohru, you don't mean that do you?" Shigure whimpered.
"Oh I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you. I'm sorry Shigure." She pleaded.
"Don't apologize to him Ms. Honda, he knows he is." Yuki Sohma said, leaning on the wall.
"Oh Yuki, did you sleep well? I know you've been having trouble the last few nights." She questioned.
"Yeah, somewhat. I guess I'm just anxious about this move. I've been looking at online reviews about this Ouran Academy. It's literally a rich people school, no 'poors' allowed." Yuki hissed.
"Well I guess it's good that we all got in on scholarships, so we will fit in. We'll be a part of that school as much as they are." Tohru said with a punch to the sky.
Kyo and Yuki both couldn't help but smile at her cuteness.
She's so cute.
I don't think she knows how much of an affect she has on people.
"So, are we done packing? My room is all done." Yuki said.
"Yeah, my room is done too. I think it's just Kyo who needs to finish." She said.
She turned to Kyo who shrugged it off.
"Won't take me long." He said.
"Wow, I thought we were dropping you off somewhere. I'm still surprised you got in." Yuki taunted.
"What's that suppose to mean?! You trying to start something!" Kyo barked.
"Come on now, no fighting please." Tohru pleaded.
"I'll have you know that I did get in on a scholarship, thanks to Tohru tutoring me." Kyo said.
"Ah yes, good thing is was just studying that I heard going on up there." Shigure added in playfully.
"YOU ARE SO FULL OF IT!" Kyo barked.
"If you're referring to the noise on some nights, it was just Kyo getting frustrated with some of the math problems." Tohru explained with a cute smile.
She remembered some of those times.
"I don't get this! Who made this subject!" Kyo barked.
He kicked a textbook off of Tohru's bed.
"Come on, we're almost done. You can do this; you've done so much in your life Kyo. You've taken on so much, math should be a breeze." Tohru said sweetly.
Kyo turned to her as Tohru leaned forward to grab for the book. She lost her footing and almost titled off the bed.
"UH!" she grunted.
"Oh! Tohru!" Kyo shouted.
He grabbed her by the wrist, yanking her back on the bed. They caught eyes and stared at each other for a brief moment. A passionate gaze.
"It's the devil's subject." Kyo muttered.
Tohru giggled.
Kyo smiled.
"Oh, I'm gonna miss this house, it was so peaceful, so beautiful. Well when it wasn't being torn apart by you two delinquents." Shigure said.
Kyo and Yuki huffed at him.
"What's the new house supposed to look like?" Tohru asked.
"Apparently, it's a small manor. We are supposed to be sharing it with Momiji, Hatori, Haru, Kisa, and Hiro." Shigure explained.
"A manor?" Yuki questioned.
"What happened to the entire 'money issues' talk?" Kyo asked, chiming in.
"It's why it's a manor. We're gonna be sharing it." Shigure shrugged.
"Mm, will Akito be joining us?" Yuki interrogated.
"No, but he will be doing regular drop ins."
"Peachy." Kyo said.
Tohru noticed the tension, "Hey well maybe we can make some more friends at Ouran like we did here." She said.
Kyo and Yuki both turned to her.
"You're right Tohru, who knows maybe you'll find some romance." Shigure poked.
Tohru blushed, but kept her head down. Kyo shifted from foot to foot. Yuki coughed.
"Should we go?" he asked.
"Hang on! Let me finish packing!" Kyo said, taking off upstairs.
The drive was kind of long, a few hours on the road. Yuki kept readjusting himself. Kyo kept stretching his legs and then straighten up. While Tohru was in complete awe at the incoming area.
She placed her hands on the window of the car, "Oh my god." She exclaimed.
Kyo and Yuki looked out their windows to the incoming view of the shiny, glistening pink building that was Ouran Academy. The place was huge; three courtyards all next to each other with five long buildings. The entire campus was green and pink. Gilts and glamour. Yellow and blue uniforms. Boys and girls. Rich, rich, rich.
"Wow." Tohru said.
"Fancy indeed." Yuki said.
"Well this isn't gonna be awkward." Kyo said.
"What do you mean?" Tohru asked.
She turned to Kyo.
"We're gonna be the new kids, talk of the school. Blah blah blah. Rich kids like to stay in other people's business, too much." He explained.
"Well I'm sure not all of them are like that." She said.
"What makes you say that?" he asked back.
"Because there's always that lone wolf, or wolves that are different from their rich class." She smiled.
Kyo smiled at her.
"Oh yay, here we are." Shigure said from the driver's seat.
All three of them looked forward outside of the front window to see a small manor home that could fit ten people. The manor was very nice, and rather beautiful. Small vines around the house made it look like a country home for a rich family.
"Where is everyone else?" Tohru asked, once the car came to a stop.
Kyo rounded the car, opened her door, and held out his hand for her. Tohru took his hand, and stepped outta the car. Yuki noticed it and quickly turned away.
"They should be coming up here soon." Shigure answered, "Now where is that damn moving truck?"
Tohru walked up the front steps of the house, and ran her hand lightly on the door frame. Smooth white wood. She smiled at it all.
"Do you like it?" Yuki asked.
"Mhmm, it's a home that I wish my mother and I could have lived in." she said, "Girl can dream right?" she giggled.
Yuki smiled shyly.
Once everyone found their rooms; Tohru was at the end of the hall, Yuki took the room closest to the stairs, and Kyo took the room that was basically the attic. Tohru hurried downstairs to greet everyone else.
"Hello everyone welcome to Sohma manor." She said sweetly.
"What are you? The maid?" Hiro snapped.
"Hiro, don't be so mean." Kisa pleaded.
"Yeah Hiro, Tohru is gonna make us a nice meal! Right Tohru?" Momiji gushed.
"Oh but of course, if you're all hungry I can start right now." She said.
"I wouldn't mind a nice stew." Hatori said.
Tohru smiled and lead everyone to the kitchen/dining room area. They all sat down around the table all chatting, laughing, and feeling like a family. Hatori ignored Shigure's comments. Momiji was begging Tohru for more stew, which made her smile. Hiro and Kisa were loosely flirting with each other. Kyo kept eating and staying out of it all, and so was Yuki.
Tohru pushed her hands into the sink to grab a plate as Yuki rounded the corner with more dishes, adding them to the other sink.
"Different huh?" he asked.
"Defiantly." She said, looking around at the wide walls and rooms, "There's so much space."
"Could fit a piano in here." He said.
"Could...could we?" she asked.
Yuki turned to her and raised his eyebrow, "You want a piano?"
Tohru pulled her hands out of the sink, and used a rag to dry them.
"I know it doesn't seem like it, but since I was a girl, I loved the piano. I love to sing too. Just haven't had the time to practice much." She explained.
"Why not?" he asked.
"Never felt confident I guess." She said.
Yuki looked to the side, "Then I guess we should build up your confidence with a grand piano in here." He said.
Tohru smiled brightly and went to hug him, but stopped.
"Uh." He grunted.
"Mm." she sighed.
"I guess we should finish the dishes." He said.
"Mhm. Where's Kyo? He had the majority." She said.
"He might be on the roof, since he ate so much. Something must be on his mind." He explained.
Tohru smiled at how much Kyo and Yuki knew about each other, even though he didn't like each other.
"I'll be right back." She said, making her way to the roof.
Of course, Kyo was up there. He had his arms behind his neck, and looking up at the moon.
"Kyo?" Tohru said, climbing up on the roof.
Kyo turned to her, but immediately blushed turning away. She was wearing her white Long Silk Bridal Robe with a matching silk dress with lace trailing down her knees.
"Why are you wearing that?" he asked.
"Oh," she looked down, "It's my mother's. Sometimes I wear it when I miss her."
Kyo relaxed, "It looks...it looks nice on you." He said.
She smiled and sat down next to him.
"Are you okay? Something on your mind?" she asked.
He shrugged, "Something like that, I guess." He said.
"What's wrong?" she asked, touching his arm.
He looked at her touching his arm, until she pulled away.
"I guess I'm a bit nervous about this new school. I feel like it could be harder for us to keep the secret." He explained.
She almost forgot about it; the Zodiac curse.
"Do you think that some girls will hug you?" she asked.
He blanked, "Uh...yeah. Accidents happen."
"Oh." She said shyly.
"Um, not to change the subject, but what do you think of this new school and stuff?" he asked.
She smiled a bit, "It seems like it's gonna be an adventure. Rich life style and all." She joked.
He chuckled a bit, "You're gonna eat it all up, aren't you?"
"Of course, I am." She blushed.
He chuckled again.
"Are you gonna try out for any clubs? Like maybe a... fighting club?" she asked.
"Like Judo?" he asked.
She nodded.
"I don't know maybe." He said.
"Make you a deal?" she asked.
"Yeah?"
"I was talking to Yuki downstairs and," she exhaled, "I told him about how I use to love to sing and I how I wanted a piano in the house since there's so much room. If I branch out and start singing again, you join a club. Any club, even judo."
Kyo smiled, "Deal."
She smiled.
The day started with the sun high in the air, the temperature was warm, and it was also a dreaded Monday. But it didn't feel like a regular Monday. Shigure pulled up the pristine Ouran Academy and let the teenagers out.
"This uniform is itchy." Haru said, rubbing his arm.
"God, I hate wearing ties." Kyo said, adjusting his tie.
"Don't undo it." Tohru said, fixing his tie.
"You look nice in the dress though." He said.
Tohru smiled and twirled around in the yellow Ouran dress for girls. The three boys smiled and Momiji clapped. They all made their way inside with everyone staring at them.
"Those must be the new kids..."
"I've heard about them..."
"I hear they all live together..."
"Could you imagine what goes on in that house?..."
"I wonder what the Host Club thinks about that..."
"I hate this." Kyo grumbled with his head pressed into his shoulders
"Too many stares." Haru said, playing with his ear.
"I think it's charming." Momiji smiled.
"Do these people have nothing better to do?" Yuki hissed.
"Come on you guys," Tohru halted them, "We can have a good day today. It's our first day."
"Well let's get our class schedules first and we can see about this 'good day' stuff. Maybe a club or two." Yuki said.
Tohru smiled.
"I can't wait Tohru!" Momiji clapped, jumping to hug her.
"Momi-!" she called out.
Kyo smacked the poor blonde boy on the head, "You outta your mind!?"
"Kyo.." Tohru pleaded.
Haru and Yuki moved to the side.
"Where did Hiro and Kisa go?" Haru asked.
"I think Hatori took them to the lower levels to get their schedules, which is what we should be doing." Yuki explained.
"You ready for this? We do draw a lot of attention." Haru said.
"Well keep your eyes to yourself and keep your pants up and we shouldn't have any issues." Yuki said.
"Oh, like this?" Haru joked, pulling his waist band from his skin.
Yuki smacked him over the head.
They were in their second class of the day, and were all seated in the back of the classroom. Yuki, Momiji, Haru, Kyo, and Tohru. Kyo leaned back in his chair, ignoring the teacher. Tohru looked around the room, until her pupils landed on someone in the front of the classroom. A brunette, with two orange tops next to him.
The boy turned his head to the side, where Tohru got a better look at him. He looked quite feminine.
"Oh yes, before I forget we have five new students joining our academy today. Now they are here on scholarships as well as our fellow newbie, so make them feel welcome."
"Way to make them feel welcomed, dumb teacher..." Haruhi Fujioka thought at the front of the classroom.
Everyone in the room turned to the back of the classroom where the Sohmas were.
"Ohh, they're so cute."
"They're dreamy."
"Oh, so handsome."
Kyo rolled his eyes, and Haru and Yuki were uncomfortable. Momiji smiled brightly and Tohru slowly waved her hand.
"Hmm, who knew 'poors' could be beautiful." Said one female.
"Well, not all. The girl could use some work." Said a male student.
Tohru heard the comment, and immediately put her head down. What a jerk. Kyo, Haru, Yuki, and Momiji's faces angered at the guy, but Hikaru and his twin brother, Kaoru Hitachiin were the ones who spoke up.
"Way to be a first-class jack ass, Haruto Ninji. Since when do you have any right to judge someone on beauty?" Kaoru asked.
"Maybe if you had more and more class, your girlfriend there wouldn't be cheating on you with your brother." Hikaru added.
"Oh no." Haruhi muttered.
"Screw you Hitachiin brothers! You're only popular because of that damn host club!" he snapped.
Hikaru walked over to the desk of Haruto and punched it right in two. Tohru jumped, while Kyo, Yuki, and Haru remained cool.
"Wanna try that again?" Hikaru questioned.
The male stayed quiet, shaking in fear just as the bell rang.
"Okay okay that's enough. The bell rang, class dismissed, Hikaru you're paying for that desk." The teacher said quickly.
Everyone cleared out the classroom, and the Sohmas pulled off on the side. Tohru looked around until she spotted Hikaru, Kaoru, and the other brunette male.
"Hey! Hey!" she called, going over to them.
Hikaru and Kaoru both turned around to greet her.
"Hi, uh thank you for defending me in the classroom." She said.
"No problem, Haruto has always been a jackass." Hikaru said, he pulled a 'Tamaki Suoh' and pulled a rose from his jacket, "Anything for a pretty lady."
Tohru immediately blushed, as the Sohmas were coming up right behind her.
Haruhi yanked on Hikaru's ear, "Could you not scare the girl." She barked.
"OW! Haruhi, dammit that hurts." Hikaru shooed Haruhi's hand away from his ear.
"Hi, I'm Haruhi Fujioka." She said, extending her hand to shake Tohru's.
Tohru smiled and shook her hand, "I'm Tohru Honda."
"Do you wanna introduce us to your body guards?" Kaoru asked.
Tohru turned around and said, "Yeah this is; Kyo, Yuki, Momiji, and Haru Sohma."
"You all don't have the same last name?" Hikaru asked.
"No, they are all related. I'm just a friend of the family." Tohru said.
"You're more than that." Yuki said.
Tohru smiled at him, and then noticed two other people walking up behind Haruhi and the twins. Tamaki Suoh and Kyoya Ootori.
"What are you guys doing? The Host Club meeting starts after lunch period and Kaoru didn't you need to borrow my notes?" Tamaki asked, holding up his notebook.
"Yeah, thank you." Kaoru said taking the notebook.
Tamaki turned to Tohru, who immediately blushed.
"And who's this?" the blonde asked, spinning around in a circle handing Tohru another rose.
Tohru blushed, but accepted the rose.
Yuki and Kyo went to punch Tamaki, but he was quicker and avoided their hits.
"No need to get violent, you must be the new kids." Tamaki said.
Haru turned up his face, "Does this whole school know that?" he barked.
"We stay pretty informed." Kyoya answered.
Yuki's eyes scanned over Kyoya's entire persona; his body, his face features, his glasses, the clipboard tucked in between his armpit, and his straightened posture. He found himself, drawn to the male. An attraction. Kyoya turned to Yuki, noticing his staring, which made Yuki quickly turn away.
"Well if you're all new here, we are having a party tonight hosted by the 'Ouran Academy Host Club' to welcome the new school year. We'd love for you to come." Tamaki said with a sly smile.
Momiji smiled and bounced on his toes, "I wanna go!" he said.
"What's a Host Club?" Tohru asked.
Tamaki flicked back his blonde hair, cleared his throat, and said, ""The Ouran Host Club is where the school's handsomest boys with too much time on their hands entertain young ladies who also have way too much time on their hands. Just think of it as the Ouran Academy's elegant playground for the super-rich and beautiful."
Kyo rolled his eyes, Haru raised an eyebrow, and Yuki was taken aback a minute.
"Is entertaining all you do?" Tohru asked, seemingly interested.
"Are you interested, my princess?" Tamaki asked, taking her hand.
"We could use a few more people to keep it going." Haruhi said.
"What DOES THAT MEAN?!" Tamaki whined.
"It means, we could use more people with different aspects to keep the club going." Kyoya added.
"Like what?" Tamaki asked.
"I don't know, maybe some live entertainment. A few more hosts who have different skills. I don't know, isn't this Kyoya's forte?" Haruhi asked.
"It is, our president won't listen to me." Kyoya snapped, slapping his clipboard together, loudly.
"Can we go to the party?" Momiji questioned Kyo.
"You're joking me, right?" Kyo questioned.
"Come on Kyo, I think it'd be really fun. I think we'd all have a good time. As long as we're careful." Tohru said.
Kyo turned to Haru and Yuki for some type of backup, but both boys just shrugged at the offer.
"This is gonna be a night." He said to himself.
At Sohma Manor,
"Oh wow, you're first day and you're going to a party!" Shigure exclaimed.
Kyo scratched his back in his dark green striped tuxedo. Yuki adjusted his navy-blue tuxedo suit.
"Is this really a good idea?" Yuki asked.
"You wanna be a normal teenager or not?" Kyo barked.
Yuki licked his lips, "Do we have to go through Akito for this?" he asked.
"Technically yes, because it's a public event. Lotta girls too." Shigure said.
"Too late now." Kyo said.
"He'll know by tomorrow." Hatori said, coming into the room.
Yuki stiffened and Kyo looked around.
"Where's Tohru?" Momiji asked, hurrying into the room with Haru.
From the stairs, came the sound of heels tapping on wood. Tohru emerged down the stairs in a purple lilac Marchesa Notte V Neck Embroidered Gown. Yuki was left in awe, Kyo's mouth dropped open and Momiji clapped again for her.
"Even I'm attracted to her right now." Haru said.
Tohru's long brown hair was pulled to the right with a small braid. She looked back at Kisa.
"Thanks, Kisa." She said.
The little one smiled.
Tohru walked over to the boys.
"Oh Tohru, you look gorgeous." Shigure exclaimed.
"Quite beautiful." Hatori added.
She grinned and turned to Yuki and Kyo. They both offered their arms to her, she put her arms in between theirs.
The party was held in the first courtyard outside the main building, it was huge and there were a lot of people. Haruhi smiled at a few people, as she was wearing a suit and greeting people. She looked over her shoulder to see Kyo and Yuki leading Tohru in with Momiji and Haru behind them. Haruhi hurried over to them.
"Welcome all, oh my god Tohru you look gorgeous." Haruhi said, taking Tohru's hands.
Tohru smiled, she never felt so beautiful.
"Thank you." She said.
"Welcome all of you, would you like to meet the other Host Club members?" Haruhi asked.
The Sohmas, reluctantly nodded to meet the other members. Haruhi lead them to the dinner table where the desserts were, mainly cake. Also, where Mitsukuni Haninozuka and Takashi Morinozuka were.
"Hey guys," Haruhi tapped the two induvial, "This is Honey and Mori." She explained.
Honey and Mori turned around from the table to face Haruhi.
"Haru-chan! Oh," Honey jumped on Haruhi, "Who's this?"
"These are the new students." Haruhi explained, "This is Tohru, Kyo, Yuki, Haru, and Momiji."
Momiji smiled and waved, but he noticed the cake.
"Nice to meet you." Tohru said with a smile.
"Nice to meet you too, Tohru-chan." Honey said with a smile.
"Uhh." Tohru was left confused.
"He's a 3rd year." Haruhi confirmed, looking away for a moment.
Momiji eyed the cake, "Oohh, cake."
"Momiji do you really need cake right now?" Tohru asked.
"No! He doesn't!" Kyo barked.
"But it looks so good." Momiji whined.
"If you want cake," Honey started to say getting close to Momiji, "You're gonna have to beat me in a caking eating contest."
Momiji raised his eyebrows at him, but licked his lips.
"Challenge accepted." He said.
Honey smiled.
Both boys sat down across from each other on top of the table with the same amount of cake in front of them. They looked each other in the eyes, and then dove into the cake. Twenty minutes went by, and both boys were full of cake. It was a draw! Had Honey met his match?
"Oh god." Honey said, rubbing his stomach.
"Mm, I might throw up." Momiji said.
"Ahh, you throw up that way." Kyo said.
Honey smiled, "I've never met someone who could eat as much cake as I can."
Momiji looked up at Honey.
"I'd love for us to be good friends." Honey suggested.
Momiji's face lit up, he suddenly got his strength back, and jumped over into Honey's lap.
"Momiji!" Yuki called.
"I'd love to! I'd love a new friend!" Momiji gushed hugging Honey tightly.
Honey smiled squeezing Momiji until Mori started wiping both their mouths of cake.
"Tohru! Sohmas!" shouted Kaoru behind them.
Kaoru walked up with Tamaki, his brother, and Kyoya.
"Ah Tohru you look magnificent. A true beauty." Tamaki said.
"Thanks Tamaki." Tohru said.
Haruhi looked away for a moment.
"Don't you think she looks amazing Kyo?" Kaoru asked.
"Uhh." Kyo stuttered.
Haru rolled his eyes and Yuki turned away.
"Well since he can't say much, Tohru," Kaoru held up his hand, "May I have the first dance?" he took her hand and spun her around to the dance floor.
"Eh." Kyo blanked.
Tamaki and Kyoya moved away, Yuki followed with his eyes as Kyoya walked off.
"If you don't get the hell in there, Imma smack you." Haru hissed at Kyo.
Kyo fanned Haru away, but then waited for his chance to intercept. He finally found a point where he made his way to the pair. Kaoru saw him coming and twirled Tohru around before pushing her over to Kyo.
"Uh." She grunted, when she realized that she was holding Kyo's hands.
Kyo paused for a moment, in shock, but then started to move them both across the dance floor. Tohru kept a distant back so he wouldn't turn. They swayed together across the dance floor, and never broke eye contact with each other. As they spun together in a circle. The spotlight landed on the both of them, but neither minded it. Kyo twirled her around, but then dipped her back towards the floor. Haruhi felt her hair leave her shoulders, her spirits lifted, and she felt so light. She dipped her head back, and then lifted it to look into Kyo's eyes. His beautiful eyes. She reached her hand up to cup his face. He pulled her up.
"I had a feeling there was something between them." Tamaki said.
"You're match maker now?" Haruhi asked.
"No, I just believe in true love. And I see it clear as day with those two." He responded.
She turned to him and looked up at him.
"What?"
"There's so many things that still amaze me about you." She said.
He smiled, "I only aim to please Haruhi."
"Do you ever stop and think about yourself? What makes you happy?" she asked.
"What I want, I can't have." He said.
"Why?"
"Cause it would make you uncomfortable." He said.
She shook her head, "You don't get to make that choice for me."
She started to walk past him.
"Haruhi." He pulled her back by the wrist.
"Uh." She grunted, pressing her hand on his chest, wrapped up in his arms.
"I'm...I'm sorry." He said.
She stared into his eyes until the sound of a drum got their attention. Tamaki's father and Kyoya's father just entered the party.
"Father?" Tamaki questioned.
He pulled away from Haruhi to accept a hug from his father.
"Ah, I've seen what you've done tonight. Everyone having fun and all, you learned a lot over the summer. Haven't you, my son?" his father questioned.
"Uh, uh yes sir." Tamaki said, "Yes father."
His father smiled and Haruhi stayed by Tamaki's side to ease his stress.
Slap!
The echoing sound of a skin to skin contact got everyone's attention as Kyoya's head snapped back from the hand of his father.
"Kyoya!" Haruhi called.
The twins turned around.
"Kyoya?" Honey said, concerned.
Kyo and Tohru released from each other to see what was going on.
"You're still an embarrassment to the family." Kyoya's father sneered him.
Kyoya knelt down to grab his glasses. Yuki watched from the sidelines, he felt... bad for the poor guy.
"Embarrassment." Kyoya's father snapped, he went to slap Kyoya again.
"NO! DON'T!" Honey shouted.
"Yoshio!" shouted Tamaki's father.
Tamaki jumped in out of no where and caught Yoshio's wrist before he came hurling down.
"Uh." Kyoya grunted, looking up at his best friend.
"I'd appreciate it if you didn't hit my right-hand man." Tamaki sneered, he squeezed Yoshio's wrist.
"Release me Tamaki." Yoshio barked.
"Don't hit Kyoya. I'll release you, if you don't hit Kyoya." Tamaki stated.
The Sohmas were rather impressed by Tamaki's caring nature and assertive ways.
Yoshio yanked his wrist away, but Tamaki didn't move. Yoshio walked away, disappearing inside while Kyoya put his glasses back on. He stood up and held his cheek.
"You okay?" Tamaki asked, not facing Kyoya.
"I'm fine, gimme a minute." Kyoya said walking off to be alone.
Tamaki closed his eyes.
Tohru took off after Kyoya, in which Kyo and Yuki followed her.
Kyoya sat down on one of the stone benches in the garden area, where he could be alone.
"Kyoya?" Tohru questioned.
He looked up at her, "Tohru? What are you doing here?"
"I came to check on you." She said, sitting down in front of him.
Kyoya turned to his right where Kyo and Yuki were standing.
"You didn't have to follow me; I rather be alone." Kyoya said.
Tohru pulled a napkin from her small pouch and dabbed the red mark on Kyoya's face. He closed his eyes to her touch.
"You know you matter." She said.
Kyoya looked her in the eyes.
"You matter, you didn't deserve to be hit. No one does. Just remember that Kyoya." She said with a sweet smile.
He couldn't help but smile at her.
"Thank you, Tohru."
She smiled and cupped his cheek, making him close his eyes again to her touch. She stood up from the ground and looked over to Kyo. The orange top walked over and stood next to Kyoya.
"Was that your father?" he asked.
Kyoya kept his head down.
"The man who hit you..." Kyo went on.
"Yeah, that's my dad." Kyoya confirmed.
Kyo licked his lips, nodded his head, and placed his hand on Kyoya's shoulder. Kyoya looked up at Kyo.
"You're gonna have to be stronger than that." Was all Kyo said before he made his way back towards the party. Tohru followed him, but Yuki remained behind.
There was an awkward silence, before Yuki finally broke it.
"Are you okay?" he asked.
Kyoya looked up at him, "Yeah." He rubbed his eye.
Yuki then thought back to something Tohru said.
If you learn to take a chance, and open up to a new person. You'll probably be surprised by the results. It's okay to be vulnerable Yuki. Not everyone is gonna hurt you.
Yuki walked over and sat down on the edge of the bench, next to Kyoya. The glasses cutie looked at Yuki with a questionable face.
"I don't really know how to comfort someone I guess, but something someone told me...made me wanna step outta my comfort zone I guess." Yuki said.
"Tohru?"
"That obvious?"
"Kinda." Kyoya joked.
Yuki chuckled. And Kyoya smiled.
"I'm Yuki, by the way." He said.
"Mm, you know my name." Kyoya said.
Yuki nodded.
"So, what do you do for the Host Club?" Yuki asked.
"I take care of all the financial and promotional department." Kyoya explained.
"Soooo the book nerd?" Yuki questioned.
"Okay okay." Kyoya laughed, making Yuki smile.
"For better questions, yes I'm the book nerd." Kyoya said.
Yuki smiled, "You must be organized."
"Eh, somewhat. I'm not always organized." Kyoya said, pulling his clipboard out showing a flood of paper, "Example one."
"Let me see. I'm actually good at sorting." Yuki said.
He reached over and took the clipboard slowly. He started going through the papers slowly as Kyoya watched. After a few minutes, he was done.
"There." He said.
"Mmm, you're good at this. You should be the 2nd book nerd in the club." Kyoya said.
"Well Tohru wanted us to get out of our comfort zones and be part of a club." Yuki said.
"Mmm, if you can handle Tamaki then I'll be impressed." Kyoya stated.
"I can ignore him."
"He won't let you." Kyoya concurred.
Yuki chuckled, he looked down at Kyoya's lap at him looking through the papers again. Kyoya then looked up at him in the eyes, Yuki's beautiful, big purple eyes. Yuki paused; he was almost mesmerized by Kyoya. They were so close to each other's faces, their noses were touching.
"Uh." Yuki backed up.
