ONE DAY OF A SWEET LIFE
The night was clear and the sky dark blue with a white shiny moon giving life to the ambient, even to the sometimes too pale face of Umehito Nekozawa, who was now resting his head on a girl's lap, turning his head to meet her dark eyes. Was the darkness making them look like that? So beautiful… he loved those eyes. Both were sitting on a bench by a pool, they lived on a cute big household with a pool on its backyard. His head was pressed to her bosom so he could hear the steady beat of her heart, comforting him, going faster because of him. For how long he waited for this to be real? And now it was.
She bents her head shorten the distance between them, enough to let her speak before kissing him on the lips.
"I love you… Umehito and Il always will."
Nekozawa woke up, at first he was wondering where was her, but after a moment he remembered.
"Again that dream…" he murmured to himself.
He glanced through the window to the sky, no moon there. How much time until that dream can become true? How long? He couldn't go back to sleep now, so he took Beelzenef from the pillow next to him and taking a towel from a chair he goes to his bathroom; it was time for him to change to his uniform and coat, he will be paying the Host club a visit… maybe.
At the Host club; like always, the twins where making all women there crazy while Mori-senpai watched Hunny-senpai eat all the sweeties he could find and Tamaki on another room was trying hard to convince Haruhi to wear a cute dress for the "Host Club Winter Festival" with his pleading-crying-more like dying from hunger face. The festival would be soon, it was a month of two until then and the host club was already plotting/planning the details for it, even thou it was more like Kyoya plotting/planning everything while Tamaki babbled about what he wanted and the others just never cared about it.
"As your father I order you to wear a cute dress!" he said using the commanding-daddy-tone
"I won't" she kept drinking her lemonade sitting on the sofa, as peacefully as she could, having the young teenager crying on a corner, loud enough for the entire high school to hear. Hopefully no girl would be coming to pity/take care of him and the mushroom's farm he was building on his corner. Nekozawa entered the room followed by his maid and butler, Haruhi took this as an opportunity to break free so she walked to him with a cute smile on her face (Tamaki looks at her and goes empty-shell mode).
"Nekozawa, it's so good to see you here"
A problem with the light caused them to flicker and then turn off covering the entire room with darkness since the curtains there where shut. Now Nekozawa saw Haruhi on a very different way, the lack of light around her turned her eyes a darker shade, even thought the expression in her eyes was different from the one he remembered he was now sure she was the closest he had even seen to the girl in his dreams… maybe … Haruhi WAS in fact the girl of his dreams, seconds later the light went out but it didn't matter anymore, Nekozawa left soon enough for her not to notice the change in his voice and the looks he was giving her. It didn't matter that she was or wasn't the girl in his dreams, she was out of his reach, not only she loved on of his best friends but also she was too cute and sweet to ever fall in love with him… and he was certainly too shy and fearful to ever say none of this to her, it was better to her, after all… it didn't matter if he just realized who she was, he wasn't in love with her but with the memory of a dream she would never be.
That night while caressing Belsenef, Nekozawa lost himself in bitter thoughts, there is a chance she is the girl of my dreams but there's also the chance she isn't, there's a chance she's the girl of my dreams and could fall in love with me but there's also the reality that she already IS in love with another guy, so am out of the picture, she likes me as a friend… just a friend. A bell ringing outside remind him it was time to go to bed and that tomorrow will be another day of school, maybe he would be able to see Haruhi and start running some "tests" about his doubts.
The class had already started when a girl appeared on the door frame, wearing the Ouran high school uniform, with a black school bag hanging from her shoulder. Nekozawa turned his gaze to her, not really paying attention to the introduction the teacher made, not paying much attention when she went to sit down on a desk near him dropping her thing there, until something called him to watch her intently… she had dark inky hair, pale face, slender and nicely built body, the uniform matching perfectly with the curves in her body, she had fine hands with long slim fingers, quite like a lady out of a vampires story with a peculiar smile in playing in her lips… or so Nekozawa thought. Since her eyes were covered by sunglasses he couldn't see her eyes. Anyway he turned around again and tried paying attention to class.
Now, thinking slowly about her, she was quite beautiful, not like the girls he was used seeing inside campus, enjoying Tamaki's and the other's company… but again who (girls) wouldn't enjoy the company of the prince charming and his friends… except Haruhi… well… she enjoyed his company but not in the same way, definitely not in the same way. By this moment he noticed he had being staring at the new girl and she was aware of that, thanks to God the teacher and everyone else were too unaware of the incident so he turned to see his desk blushing like a tomato and tried acting interested on the equations on his book (not that he really even understood what those were about).
I wonder about that day, when I ran into the sun to help Koneko-chan (he calls her sister that way XD)… without my ropes was I good looking? Was I "prince-like"? Nah… there's no way I could ever be like that, I don't have the charming attitude nor the prince good looking face… I SUCK….
So lost in his train of thoughts he was he failed to noticed the look the new girl was giving him, curiosity was probably getting the best of her.
What a strange guy… covered with a cloak up to his nose, I thought guys in here liked to be seen much more than just the lips… I wonder how he would look without the cloak, probably too ugly to show himself, maybe that's why he hides… xP how awful of me to think that
She turned around, and paid attention to the rest of the class. When class was over she and Nekozawa got up at the same moment but because of her position behind him to step on his rope making him fall over, for a moment she thought she saw a bit of blond hair coming out of the ropes over his head but was prevented from looking further since he was now upside down against the floor and her attention was called but something else; a small voodoo doll lying on the floor, it apparently went out from the guy's clothing when he fell, she immediately went and picked it up.
"Ah… it's a cat… hmmmm…. How cute..." while she looked at it Nekozawa had the time to get up himself and look at the girl looking curiously at Belsenef. She couldn't help a small smile form in her lips and a slight blush make it's way across her cheeks, it was quite a long time since she saw one of them for the last time, good memories she thought but also remembered the reason why she hadn't see it for so long, it ment he was a member of the Nekozawa family!! Then she turned to see him but he was gone she turned again confused but the moment she did she found Nekozawa in front of him stealing Belsenef from her and trying to runaway, she tried to stop him but was prevented from doing it. The moment she tried moving forward to stop him she
stepped on Nekozawa's rope and slipped trapping her foot between the edges of the huge cape, falling over him.
"Am sorry … I made you fall" Nekozawa started apologizing while getting up and she was about to apologize when she stepped on her foot and grabbed his rope pulling him to her while Nekozawa lost his balance and fell again this time over the girl. When he opened his eyes noticed he was above her with his head on her neck and felt a sudden chill running down his back. The girl opened to find herself pinned against the floor and a warm breath against her skin sending shivers down her spine, her first instinct told her to kick the guy on the nuts but suddenly it changed making her eyes turn darker her pupils slightly dilated. He hold himself up from her with his hands and face her, but the moment he did so they locked eyes, a couple of eyes black as night locked with a couple of deep dark eyes, the train of thoughts she was having was stopped in mid air right THERE; what color his eyes were? She tried looking harder but it was impossible because of the rope covering his head and she was about to pull it down to see those eyes when he moved away from her.
What's with this guy? She tried to focus and relax so her eyes turned lighter
What's with me? Nekozawa was wishing earth to swallow him.
They both got up and while she placed her clothing in order he disappeared, then she noticed she didn't had her sunglasses on, they were probably thrown away when she fell onto him, she looked for them after realized he was no longer in the room (neither Belsenef) and taking her bag she also left the room. Nekozawa ran until he got to his bedroom and was protected by the privacy of it, so he could take out his rope and uncover a very red face.
Damn… what happened to me back then?
After this encounter she decided to forget all about the incident since it looked like he wasn't going to say anything (or in any case she thought he would be in his way to Alaska for the way he ran away from her), she marched to her next subject to study: the so called "Ouran High School Host Club". (Tamaki sneezed and felt something tormenting his stomach but being Tamaki he ignored it)
