"Kyoya," A twenty eight year old Haruhi cries out sitting up in her bed at almost three in the morning and staring at the dark wall of the apartment she shares with her roommate and the person currently stirring next to her in the bed.
"Is something wrong mother?" Her seven year old son asks tiredly sitting up.
"I'm fine Chiaki. Sorry for waking you, go back to sleep." She smiles, kissing the top of his head and ruffling his short black hair.
"Mother, who's Kyoya? You murmur his name a lot when you sleep." He asks, while rubbing his eyes gently.
"Someone your mother hurt a long time ago." She sighs looking down at his sharp and familiar onyx eyes. "It's my burden to bear though. Don't you worry about it okay?"
"But-"
"Go back to sleep, you have schools in the morning." She tells him sternly.
"…All right, good-night mother." He yawns and lies back down.
'Chiaki is so much like him it's scary.' She sighs looking down at her now sleeping son. 'I don't regret sleeping with him and having Chiaki, what I regret is being too cowardly to admit it to myself and disappearing for seven years.' She groans lying back down next to her son and falling asleep again, with the memory still fresh in her mind.
Seven years earlier
"Congratulations Haru-chan." Hunny walks up to her with the other members of the club, after she received her B.A. in Law at Boston University.
"Thank you Hunny." She smiles down at him and looks up to Kyoya. "I should be thanking you to Kyoya, for helping me manage my time better.
"Of course Haruhi it was no trouble, after all you finished getting your degree in three years and recently placed second in this year's bar exams." Kyoya smirks at her.
"Nearly killed me in the process too." She jokes. "But it was really nice to have a friend going to the same school with me."
"What are your plans now Haruhi?" The twins ask. "Are you going to continue working for the law firm you work for now?"
"I thought about it, but I have a few interviews set up for next week by phone with some promising places, so I'll finally be able to start." She smiles."Hopefully I can move back to Japan soon.
"You should let us take you out to dinner Haruhi." Tamaki tells her.
"Don't you all have to go back to your busy lives in the morning?" she asks them.
"Of course, but we still want to take you out tonight." The twins tell her. "Please we want to celebrate you getting your degree and Kyoya getting his B.A and Masters in business from here and being able to move on with your lives."
"…Any objections Kyoya?" she asks looking up to her now former roommate and colleague.
"Fine, but we both still have to finish packing and be moved out of the apartment sometime tomorrow." He brings up. "Are you still staying at a friend's place until you find another place?"
"Yes, and you should worry more about yourself." She laughs, "Don't you leave for Japan in the morning as well?"
"Yes, but I'd still like to know where most of my things are in the morning, so I wanted to finish packing tonight."
"Yeah, you can do that later c'mon." Tamaki cries happily grabbing Kyoya's arm. The twins doing the same with Haruhi, while Hunny and Mori just smile at them.
"All right we're coming." Haruhi and Kyoya both groan.
After dinner they went back to one of the hotels everyone was staying at and decided to go to the bar for a drink. Almost an hour had passed and the rest of the old club members were completely wasted. Haruhi was having a good time talking and laughing mostly with Kyoya who was the only other sober one, until the twins began talking about their old high school days back in the club. When Tamaki began talking about when nearly everyone in the club confessed to Haruhi and each got rejected in turn she had enough.
"Should we take them back to their rooms?" She asks Kyoya.
"I suppose so. It's a good thing we went to dinner and then decided to stay here for a drink instead of going clear across town." He sighs, now slightly annoyed that Hunny and Mori had an early start in the morning and left them after dinner. "Why, are the topics they're talking about bothering you?"
At the same moment Tamaki decided to lean on her and asks in a slurred voice. "Haruhi, why did you reject all of us, we all love you dearly."
"You know they got over you in time." Kyoya points out, while prying him off of her.
"I know it's just…remembering that I rejected…most of you isn't something I like to have brought up." She sighs, as the twins come up on either side of her and hug her tightly. "Especially by of all of you, even if all of the ones here, who did ask me out, are drunk and won't even remember this in the morning."
"Understandable, look why don't you head back to the apartment and I'll deal with these three?" he suggests. "You know before they all attempt to rape you."
"Are you sure?" She asks pushing the twins back down in their chairs.
"Don't worry I'll meet you back at the apartment." He tells her. "You should just start packing."
"Okay, thank you Kyoya." She smiles and waves to him, before leaving the bar.
Walking into their apartment Kyoya sees that Haruhi already has a bunch of boxes labeled and ready to leave. "You work fast don't you?" He notes.
"Kyoya you've been gone almost two hours." Haruhi points out coming out of her bedroom. "What did you have trouble getting the twins back to their own hotel?"
"You don't want to know." He replies throwing his keys in a dish on the counter. "Trust me after that disaster I wish we had gone over to the twin's hotel to drink instead of Tamaki's."
"When you say it like that I probably don't want to know what happened." She laughs, before walking back into her room.
"Are some of these boxes mine?" he asks curiously looking at one of the labels on a box, as she walks back out with a small box and sets it on top of another one.
"Yeah I hope you don't mind. I haven't touched anything in your room, but I've packed a few of your things out here for you." She tells him walking into the kitchen.
"Thank you Haruhi." He smiles opening one of the boxes to see a small gift wrapped up. "What is this?"
"It's a gift, you know to thank you for all these years of helping me through work, school, and for living with me." She tells him. "I mean you could have gone to any school you wanted and you decided to come here."
"You act like it was all for you."
"I know it wasn't, there was a lot of benefit in you coming here, but I still want to thank you for everything."
He only smirks and opens up the small box, to find a picture of just the two of them standing outside the university at the beginning of the year. Kyoya had his usual scowl on his face and Haruhi was trying to look anywhere but the camera. Pulling out the picture frame out a small ring fell out of the box. Picking it up he looks more closely at it. "Haruhi is this a class ring?" He asks.
"Yeah, I knew you hadn't gotten one back in high school and I wanted you to have something to remind you of all the times you had rather than just your diploma." She answers walking over to him.
"Thank you Haruhi, this is…great." He tells her honestly.
"You're welcome." She smiles taking it from him, so she could put it in another box. "I knew you hadn't gotten a class ring yourself back in high school, so I'm making sure you get one now."
"You're still always thinking about others."
"Of course. I care a lot about you and the others even if I don't show it a lot. "She laughs turning back around to face him and almost slamming into his chest.
"I know and I suppose that's what makes you, you." He tells her leaning down and kissing her softly on the lips.
"What was that for?" She asks him, as he pulled away.
"Had to do it at least once, though I can't say I approve of your lips tasting like alcohol." He smirks, before beginning to walk away and is stopped by Haruhi grabbing his arm.
"…You know I'm sure they won't taste like alcohol if you keep it up."
"Are you implying something Haruhi?"
"I'm simply stating what you told me the first day we moved in together." She states. "Weren't you the one who claimed that it was going to be inevitable that we end up doing something?"
"I said it as a joke to get you flustered."
"And now I'm making that joke a reality."
"I think you've had too much to drink Haruhi."
"No, I think I just want a break for one night. For three years I've been working and studying like crazy, but tonight I finally realize…I'm done I don't have to do all of that anymore." She tells him. "Surely you know what I mean Kyoya? You've been working hard your whole life too."
"I do understand Haruhi about wanting to be done with doing all of this. I want to enjoy my life and have a little fun, but we both know this isn't right and if my father finds out about this- he was the one who agreed to let me stay with you."
"Isn't that the point of having fun though? To go against your parents, or going against what you know is right?" She asks. "Kyoya you realize you don't have to be tied down by your family, you're twenty-two for god's sake. You should do what you want once and a while."
"So you're asking me to go against my father's will and do this?" He asks leaning down and kissing her fiercely.
"As long as you don't mind me kissing you right back." She replies between breaths and wrapping her arms around his neck.
He pulls back. "You know once this starts I'm going to finish it."
"Kyoya we're both reasonable adults, who both want this and are smart enough to not let this affect anything." She argues and lays her head on his chest.
"You seem a bit too willing."
"Try to remember you started it by kissing me first." She retorts.
"So you won't have any regrets?" He asks cautiously looking down at her small frame. If she had simply nodded, or smiled at him he would have thought twice about it, but when she simply leaned up again and starting kissing him the need for more of her dominated all of his restraints and he matched her pace, as they made their way up the stairs and into his room.
Haruhi was quickly drifting off to sleep on Kyoya's chest at two in the morning, when his voice calling out her name stopped her. "What is it Kyoya?" She asks lifting her head up slightly to see that he was already asleep. 'He talks in his sleep?'
"I love you…Haruhi." He murmurs softly, but still loud enough for her to hear him.
She freezes. 'Why did he have to go and say something like that? Since when has he-oh dammit after everything that was said tonight too.' Beginning to freak out a bit she crawls out of his strong embrace and gets out of bed. Staring at his sleeping form she realizes that all of this was becoming too much. 'Out of everything we all did together in high school, why was that one incident the only thing that was mentioned tonight? I wonder if that means they do still love me in their own ways, and now Kyoya is telling me the same thing.' She wonders glancing at him one last time before leaving the room and walking over to her own to take a quick shower.
"No, I'm sure with Kyoya it was just recently right?' She argues to herself after getting out of the shower and drying her hair with a towel. 'Damn it Kyoya you and Hunny were the only ones who didn't confess to me back in high school, why do you have to be doing it now? I wanted a distraction tonight so that wouldn't be the only thing on my mind and now…' Staring at all the boxes around her room she begins to feel scared. 'I don't want to be here in the morning, this is all too much right now.' With that she quickly gathers the things she needs only for the next morning, her extra set of keys to her friend's apartment, and her bag. Quickly scribbling a note to let Kyoya know she didn't leave simply because of what they had done that night Haruhi takes one last look at Kyoya's room and walks out of the apartment, with the note drifting off of the counter, due to the breeze the door had made, and landing face up.
I still have no regrets-Haruhi
Okay even I think this was a…questionable place to start off with, but bear with me please. I know this kind of thing has been done a lot. Kyoya and Haruhi sleep together, she gets pregnant blah blah blah, but many of them involved both of them still being in high school and I wanted to put a little twist, sort of, on this kind of thing. I already know the general outline of this story and how I want it to end. This story is going to be a bit out of my comfort zone when it comes to what I like to write, but I want to try it and hopefully it turns out well. I hope you like the first chapter and hope you continue reading "Her One Regret." xD
Ps- This story is going to have really slow updates I apologize and really I don't mean to, but i've gotten rather busy lately, so it may be awhile before the next update. Thank you and I hope you stick around. xD
