It was a normal day for the Ouran High School Host Club, Tamaki was sulking in his corner over something Haruhi said while Hikaru and Kaoru watched with a mixture of amusement and nervousness (despite how they acted they deeply cared for their blonde patriarch and disliked when he was upset), Hunny-senpai was happily sitting at a table holding Usa-chan with one hand and shoving cake into his mouth with the other while Mori watched with silence, Haruhi was sitting on one of the many couches studying for an up coming Latin exam, and Kyoya was typing away on his laptop. For the most part it was quiet, a rare event. Kyoya basked in the silence, his mood upbeat and a hint of a smile on his face. Of course all good things must come to an end, it seemed like Tamaki had gotten an epiphany and was no longer sulking which naturally meant he was talking.
"I've got an idea!" Tamaki yelled, jumping into the air with his finger pointing to the ceiling as if to prove some unknown point. Kyoya refrained from rolling his eyes, thinking something along the lines of "When don't you?". "Summer is coming and why should we waste our stunning good looks when there is an entire world of ladies out there?" Kyoya was slightly worried about whatever Tamaki was about to say next. "The other day I was visiting one of my servants in the hospital, she tripped on one of my shirts and fell down the stairs. This summer we should bring smiles to those poor defenseless ladies that are alone and unloved and forgotten."
"They have families you know," Haruhi said from the couch.
"I think it's a good idea!" Hunny said with a wide grin as he pulled his stuffed rabbit close in an attempt to look cute.
So of course the Host Club found themselves standing in the lobby of the hospital Kyoya's family owned. Kyoya went to the front desk and asked for the list of female patients that had been prepared for them. There were seven females on the list, one for each day of the week. Tamaki had insisted they don't split up so they could "bond" at the same time.
"Abella Valentina," Kyoya read as the group entered the elevator that would take them to the seventh floor.
"Abella's a French name," Tamaki said as he peered over his friend's shoulder.
"That name sounds familiar… hmmm… I can't place it," Kyoya stated as he rubbed his chin in an attempt to think.
When the elevator stopped, the seven members exited the elevator and walked over to the nurses station for directions to Abella's room.
"She's not in her room right now, she ran to get a drink, insisted on getting it herself, but you can wait for her. Her room's right down the hall, fifth door on the left," the nurse said cheerfully before running off to tend to a calling patient. Abella's room was different from a normal hospital's room, her bed was completely made (while turned down so she could comfortably sleep) complete with sheets, bed skirts, throw pillows, and covers. The pattern was a red china pattern with gold and pink flowers and dark brown trees. The windows had dark maroon drapes with golden bindings and blood red roses and poinsettias lined the window sill. The side table was filled with get well cards and the small dresser under the mirror held pictures.
"Wow, she must have been here a while," Hunny said as he looked around the room with wide eyes.
"You see?" Tamaki asked in a loud, obnoxious, voice. "This is precisely why we are needed, to save this poor girl from her misery!"
Haruhi opened her mouth to undoubtedly argue that just because the girl was in the hospital did not mean she was miserable when the door opened. The Host Club members turned to see a beautiful girl with long black hair curled into ringlets, pale skin, and dark blue eyes.
"Oh, I didn't know anyone was coming today," she said with a smile, setting down her cup of coffee on the table. The beautiful brunette was dressed in a cream colored silk nightgown that ghosted over her feet and a red silk robe that fell to her knees. "I'm Princess Abella Valentina." She climbed into her bed, exhaustion clouding her face.
"A yes, now I remember, your father is a powerful Lord in Spain if I'm not mistaken," Kyoya said. She gave a tired smile as she nodded her head in confirmation.
"If your dad's a Lord, why are you a princess?" Honey asked as he approached her bed, his thumb in his mouth and his arms clutching Usa-chan.
"The Queen of France is my aunt, my mother was the third born daughter so she never became Queen, she is a Princess and since she is a Princess so am I," Abella told him. "I love your bunny by the way, you like bunnies?" Hunny's grin widened at her question.
"I love all bunnies but Usa-chan is my favorite," he giggled. She laughed as she patted the spot next to her on the bed. Hunny didn't waste a minute before jumping onto the bed next to the pretzel legged brunette.
"I bet you like sweets," she guessed before turning to rummage through her side drawer. She let out a little noise of triumph when she found what she was looking for and turned to reveal a white chocolate bunny. "Here you go, I can't eat chocolate with my medicine." Hunny gave her his best sad face as he looked down at the chocolate.
"That's so sad!" Hunny murmured as he curled into Abella's arms.
"What are you sick with?" Haruhi asked, having remained quiet. The others nodded to themselves, the same question on all their minds.
"I have a bad heart, when my parents got the news they demanded I get the best doctors money could buy," Abella told them, glancing down at Hunny-senpai who was curled up in her arms.
"So you need a heart transplant," Kyoya stated.
Hunny closed his eyes as he rest his head against her chest listening as her heart beat to a steady rhythm under his ear. He closed his eyes, large tears threatening to fall as he listened. It was calm and peaceful, it sounded beautiful and seemed to fill her with life, but that same organ that was supposed to give life and love was killing her. He felt her kiss the top of his head.
"You can go to sleep if you like," she told him, noticing his sleepy eyes. He nodded against her chest and fell into a deep sleep, listening to her heart beat.
A/n Go easy on me, I have never read the manga, only seen the anime. This will be a Kyoya/OC story. I will try my best to make it as true to the anime as I can but it will still hold some dark things in it. Kyoya, Hunny, and Mori are my favorites so they will probably be featured the most along with a healthy dose of Tamaki idiocy.
