I tried to act indifferent, but that doesn't mean I didn't care. Don't think I didn't see the way you looked at her when you thought I wasn't watching.

You were always a host, cool and elegant. Did you even care about me, or was I just another girl to entertain? Sometimes I think your glasses are just a way to put a wall between yourself and the rest of us…What kinds of thoughts are hiding behind those elegant frames?

You always were a shadow; fading away just before the spotlight pierced the cool darkness that you thrived on. Perhaps if I had followed you into the shadows… I'm not sure.

Maybe familiarity breeds contempt; was that was why you seemed so disinterested? I just didn't think that you would be so cold… Then again, it seems there is much about you that I still don't understand. I can't help thinking that I don't want to, either.

You look so innocent, but like most else about you, that is an elegant façade; I wonder how well Tamaki really knows you.

He asked me out, Kyouya. I said yes.

But only because you left me…

I thought you cared. I thought I had found happiness-- but then it was all torn from me in one instant, like a rug jerked out from under my feet. I think I've learned more about you in separation than I ever did by your side; I wonder now, do you even have the capacity to care?

I didn't think I cared, but it feels like my heart is being torn apart. Deep inside me, I wish I could be with you again, if only for one day.

But with every day it becomes easier…

Easier to say goodbye.


A/N: I suck greatly at romance, and the only way I can ever find a way to write it is when the moment is emo romance. I'm sorry!!!!!! This fic was inspired by the song "If I'd Been the One" by .38 Special... First Ouran fic, though I have thousands in progress. (I just can't think of a way to finish any, and I don't like uploading something when I don't know where I'm going with it...) Ha, I love tormenting the characters I love. Stay tuned for the next chapter, whenever I find time to post it... (if you feel like reading about the breakup from Kyouya's POV, that is...)

Sorry this is so short, too. Things I write are usually really long or really short... ^_^ thanks for reading!
