I am working on my next update for thirst. :)
Kyoya's heart was drumming faster in his chest, and he knew that these moments wouldn't last long. Spending time with Yuki made him feel like a teenager. They have met a year ago at a charity event, and he was immediately drawn to her. She was a sweet girl, with tender personality and patience that filled his heart with warmth. She was the daughter of one of his business partners, and when Kyoya laid his eyes on her, he was captivated at once with the graceful girl, who had the most beautiful and kind smile in the world.
It took a lot of persuasion on his side to even get her have coffee with him for the first time. She was reluctant, and he knew that the reason was his marriage. He knew himself very well and during the last year had thought a lot about what he was going to do. His marriage had died already, and Yuki was the one who reminded him of how miserably lonely he felt.
Three years ago he married the girl he thought he loved, only to discover later, that whatever he felt for Haruhi wasn't love. It was childish, jealous infatuation for something he couldn't have. Regardless of how ridiculous it sounded, he knew deep down, that he married her, because Tamaki was in love with her, and he had always thought she was the one who would make him happy.
When Tamaki and Haruhi broke up with each other, Kyoya didn't waste time and immediately started a relationship with Haruhi. After a lot of fights with his family and a lot of pressure from all sides, he insisted on his wish to be with her, and they got married. Haruhi didn't love him back, and he knew it. And she was bluntly honest about her lack of feelings. Kyoya thought he didn't need her love, because whatever he felt was enough for both of them. After a year of marriage, their son was born, Riichi. And Kyoya loved him more than the world.
After the child was born, Haruhi stopped attending university and stayed home to take care of him. In the beginning, he was glad that she wanted to be with their newborn baby, but after two years, he found himself completely puzzled. Their son was already two and they could trust the nanny to take care of him while Haruhi was supposed to continue her education and become a lawyer like she always wanted.
She didn't.
She started avoiding home and take long walks, often leaving their son under the care of the nanny. She kept becoming more distant, and they hardly spent any time with one another. Family dinners with his parents and brothers' families were real hell. They didn't show any pity to Haruhi. No one lost any chance to make some sort of snide remarks. They relentlessly reminded her that she didn't belong with them, that she was just a commoner. In the beginning, he defended her, and that resulted in even more fights, but soon, Haruhi became completely withdrawn. She did everything in her power not to attend any of those dinners.
She would ran away to the countryside and stay with her father. Kyoya's father-in-law had moved away to live with his boyfriend. They grew apart, and he had no idea what was going on with her. And Kyoya knew that he wanted to divorce and start a new life with Yuki. His son was still too young to be hurt. He wanted to tell about this to Haruhi earlier, but every time he had tried to talk about it, she changed the topic, or avoided him all together, and other times, she wasn't at home.
He knew that his father wouldn't approve of his divorce, especially, after how much he had fought to get married, and he also knew that regardless of how cold his father was, the old man was fond of his grandchild. He had no idea how Haruhi would react to him wanting a divorce, but he couldn't live with her anymore. Their relationship was over. He would be supportive of her if she wanted to continue her education and fulfill her dreams. He would help her the best he could, but he couldn't be her husband. He hoped they could be friends even after the divorce.
Yuki was very stressed and had tried to end their relationship several times, saying that she didn't want to be the one to ruin his family. But Kyoya loved her and didn't want to separate. She meant the world to him, and he realized the difference in love. He realized that he didn't love Haruhi. Yuki and Haruhi were so different. Even though he didn't regret his relationship with Haruhi, considering she gave him an amazing son.
As they moved to bed, he firmly decided that he would talk to Haruhi about everything once at home no matter what.
What do you think? What do you expect?
