A/N: Hello everyone! So I read to the most recent updated chapter of the manga today and I was inspired with an idea. This takes place in the midst of chapter 78 where Igarashi and Misa have arrived in Britain to rescue Usui. The festival has started and they are trying to gain access to Usui's room. Gerard finds them and sends Seddy (or Ceddie? Not sure) after her. That's where this begins. Forgive me for any OOCness. I rarely write fanfictions for this so just give me some slack at first. I hope you love it!
When in Britain…
Chapter 1
Misaki
Where to hide? Where to hide? Ah! The bathroom! I dashed for the door as Gerard's manservant closed in. I grasped the cold handle and pulled but- it's locked?!
'NO! What am I going to do? Think! Think!'
"Tag," Seddy said with his usual emotionless expression as he grabbed both my wrists. I heard a harsh click- handcuffs!?
"Is this really necessary!?"
"Go,"
No! The plan is ruined now. It's all my fault. I should've been more careful. I may never see Usui again…
…
"Ah, Seddy, you found her! I knew you would!" Gerard praised him like a small dog. Seddy sent me a death glare as a bubble of laughter escaped me.
"Let me go! You have nothing to gain from this!" I struggled in Seddy's arms. Gerard placed two fingers under my chin, forcing me to look into his dark brown eyes.
"My, how your wrong," he whispered cunningly with a devious grin. "Whatever will Takumi do now?" He released me and turned his attention to his butler. "Keep the lady still while I'm gone. I'll only be a moment."
Gerard
My plans have been altered so unexpectedly. I never would've imagined Misaki would deliver herself to me on a silver platter. My, how things are increasingly interesting!
The elevator opened on the third floor and I stepped out. Takumi's door was in sight. I could practically taste the satisfaction of his inevitable decision. I smiled to myself as I knocked on his premium hard wood door.
"Yes, come in," I heard his bored voice from deep within. I lightly turned the knob and pushed the door open.
"Are you almost ready for your debut?"
"Oh, Gerard," he said uninterestedly as he turned his attention back to the window above the courtyard.
I winced. "That hurts, you know."
"What is it you want?"
I chuckled. "Actually, it's quite the opposite…brother."
Gradually, he turned his head. "Wha-"
"What a capable young maid you have, Takumi."
In an instant, he was on his feet, clutching my tie ever so tightly and pulling me closer.
"Where is she? What have you done?" His usual monotonous had gone solemn.
My eyes narrowed in disgust as I knew victory was mine from the start. "Do you see what effect this stupid girl of yours has on you? How pathetic."
"If you hurt her, I'll-"
"Never see her again? Yes, that's what will happen." I pulled his hands away from me and stepped back, dusting off my pristine black suit. "You have no room to negotiate brother. Now, would you like to hear my proposal or not?"
"Proposal?"
"Exactly. Would you-"
"Yes."
"If you promise to commit your life to the Walker's, become the head of the family, do your absolute best to better the people, and play by my rules, I'll make it so you have no need to ever return to Japan again. I'll even give you Misaki Ayuzawa in return for you efforts. Although, if you fail to follows any of my rules, I'll make sure you are never to see her again. I will make sure her image is destroyed. She will have no life to go back to. By the time I'm finished with her, her family will have disowned her. On the bright side, you're free to return to your life in Japan and do as you please without any interaction with the Walker family." I paused long enough to see Takumi's overwhelmed face. "I'll give you time to think it over as it appears you need it." I began walking towards the door.
"Can I not see Misaki first to let her decide on her own?"
"…Well…" I sighed. "I suppose."
Misaki
'…Why…why is this guy still staring at me like that…I haven't seen him blink once…'
"Stop staring at me already!"
"Impossible, I was told to watch you."
"Geez…you really take that seriously…?"
"I told you I'd be back soon. Misaki, you may come with me if you wish to see Takumi?"
"Of course." I followed him to the elevator with one last glance at Seddy. Soon, we were in front of his door and Gerard opened it.
"Your maid is here, Takumi. Make haste." He said quickly before leaving and shutting the door behind.
Usui turned around from the window. It was like a dream. I never thought I'd actually make it to Britain. After all that time, I'd finally found him and I didn't even have the first clue of what to say. I'd spent all that time preparing for the trip I didn't actually give myself time to think of what to say. I was speechless as I stared back at him. I could feel the blood rush into my cheeks.
"Usui…" I put my head down, averting his hypnotic gaze to collect my scattered thoughts.
"Misaki," he was suddenly so close. He cupped my face in his hands as he gazed down at me.
He was warm…so warm. I'd forgotten how warm he was…I didn't realize how much I missed it. Such a simple thing…made me feel so secure.
Tenderly, he kissed me as I pulled him closer by his white button up. Our lips parted and he wrapped his arms around me tightly.
"You came for me, Misaki," he whispered softly.
A light smile touched my lips. "Of course. I couldn't let you get away without proper punishment."
He shook his head as he chuckled.
"What?"
He pulled away slightly and I saw the genuine smile in his eyes. "Even in such terrible times, you can still be so cute."
"What?! I'm not being cute at all! I'm serious!"
"I know, that's why it's all the more adorable."
The smile slowly slid from his expression, turning grim in a matter of seconds. My brow furrowed as I stepped back slightly. "Usui-"
"I'm so sorry, Misaki," his voice was enveloped in sorrow. I'd never seen him like that before…so defeated. I was beginning to get nervous. What was going on? An ominous pit of anxiety grew and twisted itself deep within my abdomen, consuming me.
"Gerard came and told me you had come. He gave a decision that was not mine to make so I'm giving it to you, Misaki. He said if I were to leave this place, we'd never see each other again. He promised to ruin you. If I promised to always stay here, he said we could stay together. …It's not my decision, it's yours…"
'I…I…what did he say? I don't think I heard him right. If we leave this place, we'd never see each other again but if we stay…he'd be miserable.'
I couldn't believe what I had heard. None of it seemed real. It all felt like a wonderful dream was crumbling into a nightmare.
"…Usui…you idiot…" I mumbled. "I can't let you be forced to live in a place you hate just because of me. If we stay here, you'll never be able to accomplish any of your dreams."
"Don't worry about me. It doesn't matter where I am as long as I'm by Ayuzawa's side."
My thoughts were scrambled. I was weighing all the options. Staying in the castle seemed like the best choice but I couldn't help but feel I was destroying his future.
He said if I were to leave this place, we'd never get to see each other again
I've tried. I've tried to live without Usui and I couldn't even last two months.
"…Then…let's stay."
"Are you sure?"
"…If we're together," I looked away, embarrassed to being saying such a thing out loud. "I feel we can do anything." Again, he kissed me but more passionately than before. I knew Usui and I would always be together from then on.
