Prologue
Haruhi complmented the Shadow King surprisingly well. Though most found Kyoya emotionless, cold, and manipulative, those who knew him, namely the Host Club, knew differently though they seldom showed it. When they found out the Kyoya was firstly, in love with, or at least liked, Haruhi, and secondly, Haruhi reciprocated his feelings, they were surprised. Stunned, actually, enough that the over dramatic Tamaki fainted, and even Mori showed a small sign of surprise. Though they did know that Kyoya was, in fact human and had emotions, he rarely showed them and even more rarely acted upon them; the fact that he knew that his best friend, Tamaki, loved Haruhi diminished the chances of him acting on his feelings for Haruhi to almost nil. Tamaki and Hikaru took the news the worst. For a long period of time, neither of them spoke to Kyoya or Haruhi. After the rest of the Host Club spoke with them, they slowly grew to accept but not like the relationship between the Shadow King and their secret princess.
The majority of the Host Club were romanticists; it was inevitable having spent so much time charming the ladies. The Host Club following Haruhia and Kyoya on dates was an annoying occurence which happened too much, but even the Shadow King could do little to permanently put a halt to it. These little excursions generally ended up with Tamaki swooning over the sweetness of the couple, and within his mind theater, he saw the two getting married as he walked his 'daughter' down the aisle, conveniently forgetting about Haruhi's real father, who, ironically, hated Tamaki. The club in general saw Haruhi and Kyoya as the stereotypical 'highschool sweethearts' one sees in books and movies, the type to date through highschool and get married. They thought the two would last forver.
A/N: This was originally meant to be a one-shot, like I usually do, but it turned into a short multi-chapter. Please review!
