Disclaimer: It's common knowledge to Ouran fans that the wonderful series belongs to the one and only Hatori Bisco.
Warning: Hints of slight OOCness is involved since this takes part after everyone has graduated from Ouran Academy. However, said slight OOCness will be explained every step on the way, so don't fret. :D

"She did not know how she would be able to live with the wretchedness that clawed at her heart. It felt like her insides were being ripped apart into shreds in such a painstaking manner that she—"
She pressed the Ctrl and Backspace button at the same time until the entire second sentence was erased. Frankly, she could not see the connection between wretchedness clawing at the protagonist's heart and the ripping of the insides. The sentences were not related at all, no mater what angle she looked it at, so she decided to erase it and replace it with something else.
She stared into open space for a few moments, trying to rack her brain for clues as to what she could possibly add. But ten minutes and two big gulps of coffee later on, she still could not find her supporting sentence.
By the time the fifteenth minute struck, she reached out for her coffee cup without even looking. She was met with a sudden lightness, surprising her for a brief moment. She peeked in to see that the heavenly liquid was no more.
Trying not to get frustrated at the lack of ideas (and coffee), she set her cup aside and decided to save the draft. The battery of her laptop was almost at its limit, and she did not want to lose everything she had put so much effort into for the past two hours. Closing all the active windows and waiting for the system to shut down, she took her empty cup and approached the person stationed at the counter.
"Another round? That fast?" The employee joked lightly upon seeing the customer.
"Nothing like good ol' caffeine to keep the creative juices flowing." She joked back, handing her the cup.
The employee laughed and took her cup to refill it. "So, how's the novel coming along?"
"I got stuck at the second half, right at the crucial part of the plot." She groaned. "And all because I couldn't find a suitable supporting sentence…" Another groan escaped her, causing for the other person to chuckle.
"I'm sure you'll manage." The employee tried to cheer her up. "Besides, since when did the famous Houshakuji Renge disappoint her fans anyway?"

One of my reviewers (particularly Sunshine in a bag)mentioned that there were no Kyouya x Renge fics to be found. I decided to do a research of my own and found that there really were no such stories around. O-O Everybody seemed busy with the Kyouya x Haruhi pairing (but I'm not complaining, of course) that the possibility for this pairing vanished into nothingness. /sweatdrop/
So I thought, "Why the hell not? Maybe I could write something about them." And, voila. /points to this fic/
To be honest, I don't really know if this is going to be appreciated by people since the Kyouya x Renge pairing seems a bit… farfetched (or do I lack a better adjective for it?) in the Ouran fandom. I guess one could say that this is a long shot for me (as in really long shot) as a writer because I feel like I'm stepping on eggshells every step of the way. I created this because it's a bit refreshing to write about a pairing that isn't given any attention (to the point of being forgotten), and also because the idea itself is challenging to me as well. ;D
And to wrap up my babblings, I'd like to thank Sunshine in a bag for (indirectly) giving me a hint of what I could write about. :D Reviews would be much appreciated and shall be received with open arms. ;D Until the next update!
