A/N - What if Mitsu decided not to take Kyoya back, and instead went to Mori? I felt really bad for my favorite third year, so I decided to make him the love interest, kind of a what if. I will be writing a sequel for Real, going off of actual the ending, but for now, I just wanna play with my OCxMori pairing. This is from Chapter 24 - "Aftermath"
P.S. - I haven't really written anything in a while, so I may be rather rusty. I'm still getting back into the swing of things, so please bear with me.
A movie played in the background as Mitsu vented with Haruhi about the entire scandal, mainly Imagawa Ryuko. She was the reason why her old school uniform was hanging on her closet door.
"I can't believe the chairman kicked you out even though he knew what happened. And Tamaki didn't say anything about it!" Haruhi said.
"Believe me, I'm just as pissed as you are. I bet the guys don't even know yet."
"They probably do, namely the twins because I told them just now...and they're rushing home to video chat."
"Haruhi!"
"If anyone's gonna talk to us, it's the twins." And as if on cue, the Skype ringtone started ringing and Haruhi answered. The twins popped up on the screen, looking rather guilty. Mitsu didn't know what to say to them, causing tension.
"We know you're mad..." Hikaru began.
"I got kicked out, of course I'm mad."
"Mitsu," Kaoru said. "We're so-"
"Save it," she snapped. "It would've been nice to have some help, some support, but no. All of you left me to deal with this. Haruhi and I don't have it easy in your world, you know." She growled. "I'm gonna make that bitch pay."
"We'll help," Hikaru said. "Listen, I know you hate us all. Hell, we hate us. We wanted to stick with you, you know that. But, since you don't go to the school anymore, we don't know what to really do...except fight back."
"Guys..."
"We're serious. We're gonna defend you in your absence. Mori and Hunny will too. And we know Kishiruma-senpai is gonna help, too."
"Even him?"
"Yeah...even though I'd prefer him to be far, far away from you."
"Do you want us to tell Tono and Kyoya, because we already know that Hunny and Mori know," Kaoru asked.
Mitsu thought about it, then remembered her anger towards the two second years. "No. Don't tell them. I want them to find out on their own."
"Ouch, that's a little harsh, even for you. Someone's vengeful."
"That's not even the half of it. They're gonna suffer too, but not nearly as much as Ryuko. Everyone at my old school will see that I've gotten angrier." At that, her phone rang and she checked to find an unknown number. "Hold on guys. Hello?"
"Hello? Fukumoto Mitsu?"
"Yes...who is this?"
"You forgot about me already? You're so mean, Aoimoku*."
Her eyes widened. "Oh my god, Kurosawa-kun! I forgot you had my number."
"Not saved in your contacts, huh?"
"Not yet. New phone and oddly enough, your number was one of the ones that didn't save correctly. Sorry about that."
"No problem."
"So, what's up?"
"I heard what happened. The whole Ootori thing."
She tensed, her voice sharp. "And? You're calling to call me a whore, too?"
"What? No! Is that's what they're calling you at the rich school of yours?! They're gonna have to answer me! Actually, all of Class B is here at the karaoke parlor. We just wanted to say-"
"Fight, Mitsu! We love you!"
She felt tears sting her eyes. "Wh-What?"
"We know those are lies. So, we're all here to support you. You have your old friends too."
"You're class president, aren't you?"
"Yup."
"Of course you are, you overachiever."
"Heh, just know that we care about you. Don't worry about those rich bastards."
And the tears fell. "Y-Yuu-uusuke...why are you so damn nice?"
"Because of you. Tell Haruhi I said hi. We should all go karaoke some time. It'll be fun, like old times."
"Does Shouta still think he's a good singer?"
"Unfortunately."
"We'll do it."
"Alright. I'll see you tomorrow."
"Yeah, and Yuusuke?"
"Yeah?"
"Thanks."
"Always. Bye, Aoimoku."
"Bye, Mitsu!" everyone shouted.
She giggled. "Bye, everyone. Bye, Yuuchin." She hung up and looked up at the now five faces in front of her. "Hey, Mori, Hunny. When did you get here?"
"Just now," Hunny said. "Who was that?"
"An old friend of mine, Kurosawa Yuusuke."
"Yuusuke called?" Haruhi asked.
"Yeah, along with all of Class B to tell me that they love me."
"That's the guys for you. They're such goofballs."
"I know. Yuuchin says hi, by the way, and we should go karaoke sometime."
"Is Shouta still a bad singer?"
"Yup."
"Definitely."
"It sounds like you have some really good friends," Hikaru sighed. "Unlike us."
"You guys-"
"We had a choice, like you said. But we chose to listen to our parents instead of side with you."
"We could've done something, and then you wouldn't have gotten kicked out," Hunny added.
"We could've protected you," Mori said, breaking his silence. "Instead, we hurt you. We don't deserve your friendship."
"Stop right there. I know I was upset at you guys for abandoning me. I still am, but I overreacted a bit. And at least you warned me. If you hadn't...well...I'd have left on my own accord, and only Haruhi would have known. Right now, my anger is towards Kyoya and Tamaki-senpai." Her phone chimed, indicating that she received a text message. She already knew who it was.
"Is that Kyo-chan?" Hunny asked.
"Yeah."
"You're avoiding him..."
"I'm ignoring him. I don't have a reason to speak to him since we're not together anymore and I'm no longer a hostess."
"But, you're talking to us," Kaoru said.
"I love you guys more."
"'More'? That means you still love Kyo-chan,right?"
Mitsu smiled. "With all my heart. I'm not letting something like this ruin everything that I have with him. I just want him to reevaluate himself, and see what he truly wants. I don't hate him, or any of you for that matter, at all. And Haruhi, you shouldn't hate Tamaki-senpai for this, so answer his calls. They're both just being idiots."
The other brunette sighed, smiling at her childhood friend. "I guess you're right."
Mori knew she was a kind soul, but he didn't think she was this kind. She wasn't really holding a grudge. Admirable and honorable. "If Kyoya screws up his marriage with you..." he began. "can I have you?" This caught everyone off guard, especially Mitsu, who knew that the Morinozukas were a candidate for the merger and a marriage proposal.
"T-Takashi..." Hunny stammered. Even his own cousin was surprised. I never knew this...
"Oh my god, you're not kidding," Mitsu gasped.
"Takashi, you're serious?"
"Hn," he grunted.
Mitsu's cheeks reddened. "I'm...I'm flattered, really. But, I'll always love Kyoya. However, if he does fuck up, big time, then...yes, you can have me. But, you already know the chances."
The stoic senior chuckled, a warm smile on his face. "Yeah. Not too good for me, but I don't mind. Just knowing that I still have a chance is enough."
"You're too nice, you know that?"
"Yup."
"Oh for goodness sake."
Kyoya had been staring at his phone the past ten minutes, hoping he'll get a reply. When he realized that he wasn't going to get one, he felt the sadness and frustration build up even more. "She really does hate me..."
"She may hate you even more once she reads your text message," Tamaki sighed.
"I can't be with her if it means we have to deal with Imagawa like this. And father really doesn't want this scandal on his head."
"But, telling her that she should get rid of everything that reminds her of you? That's pretty harsh, even for you."
"Tamaki, I love her, I really do. But, we're losing several major assets due to this. If it continues, we'll be ruined."
"Your family name is far more important than the love of your life?"
Kyoya froze at that, unable to form a word. "I..."
"Now I see what you want. Kyoya, you are my best friend, and I will always remain by your side. But, this decision may be your biggest mistake. Are you ready to face the consequences for your actions?"
The bespectacled second year took a minute to think, weighing the outcomes. Finally, with a soft voice, he said, "Yes."
