Surprisingly Kind by xheloisex
This was becoming a habit. Sorting through every thought in my head, pausing on only one's of her. I was positive it was unhealthy to obsess over a commoner so much but I couldn't convince myself to stop. After all no one could guess my feelings, I was the shadow king impossible to read, so what would be the problem? Only I would be getting hurt.
This was the conclusion I came to and I stuck to it for many weeks that is until I found myself following her everywhere she went. I instantly became over protective, I'd listen to conversations only if they were about or included her. Although I was to blind to see it myself back then others were more perceptive, they realised that I, Kyoya Ootori was deeply in love with Haruhi Fujioka.
There was no way I could wriggle out of this with carefully chosen words and countless sums, I'd already let my guard down to much, what was worse was even if I did work out the reasoning behind my rash actions when it came to the Ouran's scholarship student, I probably wouldn't care that people had already seen the real me who I kept hidden behind the glare of my glasses. Basically I had already lost myself in my own emotions.
On one occasion Haruhi spotted me hiding behind a statue while on her way to class:
"Kyoya-sempai" she had acknowledged me at least. "What brings you down here?"
"I- um -" Unable to form a coherent sentence I settled for babbling until an excuse came to mind. "I came to inform you that your customer rate has increased lately, if this keeps up your debt will be cleared before the end of this year" that was close.
"Oh that's good I suppose, couldn't it have waited till club activities? You didn't have to go to all the trouble to come and find me. Anyway I must go don't want to be late! Goodbye Kyoya-sempai"
After that I was a lot less careless, though I still kept a close watch on her just in case.
Everything went on as normal until the day at the beach. It was unknown to me whether I was glad or angry that Tamaki had interrupted me and Haruhi. Thanks to that blonde idiot I missed my only chance to tell Haruhi what I felt for her (yes eventually I figured out that I loved Haruhi after plenty of hints from Honey) on the other hand my best friend now has a better chance with the girl he loves and who will grow to return those feelings, that much was obvious.
Because what's meant to be will happen and what should not will stay in dreams.
Rest assured that Haruhi Fujioka would forever be Haruhi Ootori when I'm asleep, when in reality I will live knowing I've done something good in my life, a selfless act to live up to what she said to me at the Black Magic Clubs President's home by the sea...
"That Kyoya-sempai is surprisingly kind"
A.N: Well my very first complete fan fiction! Admittedly it's very short but I was getting nowhere with novels so I did a small one shot. Please leave a review telling me what you think otherwise Kyoya will be put through even more pain! :(
Love you people xxx
P.S: I almost forgot MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
