Mori's POV
I didn't let Kimiko carry the bags at all which made her pout. It was rather adorable. I watched her as she walked next to Mitsukuni and I. I was eyeing her inhaler wondering how serious her asthma was. She didn't do P.E. with us usually.
Perhaps I should ask Kyoya if I could be the one with her inhaler, I thought.
We walked into the clubroom when Tamaki pounced on my Kimiko, wait what?
Reminding myself that she wasn't mine, I quickly brought my attention to the situation unfolding in front of me. In the back of my mind, I added yet to that thought.
The twins had their arms around her waist much to my discomfort. She was blushing and slightly squirming in their embrace. Obviously not sensing her embarrassment of the situation the twins proceeded to rub their cheeks against Kimiko's much to my displeasure.
" Aww you're so cute." They both said simultaneously.
Yes, yes she was.
Tamaki then went on about how the twins were sexually harassing his "daughter" and I was rather happy when he managed to cause the twins to back up, but that thought was completely revoked when he pulled her into an even tighter embrace, that involved spinning.
" T-tamaki! L-let me go! You're squeezing me too hard!" Kimiko shrieked while throwing her arms around most likely trying to call for help.
Immediately I took action. I practically flashed over there and pulled her out of Tamaki's arms and held her in the air, like I did yesterday.
My eyes met her cute flushed face and when our eyes met, I blushed a bit too. Gently I placed her down and watched as she quietly thanked me before heading over to Kyoya. Tamaki went over into the corner and sulked again as usual.
Quietly, I observed as the others thanked her for the cupcakes.
Kyoya then began questioning her. I ignored it until a question also peaked my interest. " An whom may I presume are you thanking?" He asked snapping his notebook shut.
I was also curious. Since this morning ever since I had found out she made cupcakes for a particular person, there was this strange feeling welling up inside me." A-ah… it's a secret?" she softly squeaked.
I frowned. Why couldn't she tell us? I observed her, she glanced at the clock before exclaiming " U-um we have some extra time… so I'll be right back okay? I just have to go deliver something…" she said quickly before running over to one of the bags , now placed on a table, and pulled out a separate container containing 2 cupcakes.
Probably for whoever she is thanking , I thought the strange feeling inside of me growing slightly.
Who is it? I asked myself.
" Help yourselves, save some for the guests!" she said louder than usual while rushing towards the door out of the club room. My eyes followed after her petite form. Quietly I decided to follow behind her.
Why are you following her? She's going to think that you're some sort of stalker. A voice in the back of my mind said. Ignored it.
I have to find out who it is. I thought
I followed her as she made her way around the school. She made it too easy to follow her. I frowned.
Slowly I began to notice that she was headed to our first period class with Akuri-sensei. I frowned she's going to talk with our sensei? Is that who? Does she like him? What was she thanking him for?
Slightly frowning, I continued to silently follow her. Peaking from a corner, I watched in contempt as she peaked her head into the classroom. Although her voice was low, I was used to it and listened.
" U-um sensei?" She quietly voiced.
" Ah Sato-san is there something I can help you with?" A deep voice replied.
It is Akuri sensei's voice I thought, my brows furrowing slightly. I watched as he stepped out of the classroom meeting Kimiko in the hallway.
" Y-yes… I wanted to thank you for saving me yesterday… so I baked some cupcakes for you… I hope you like them…" Kimiko shyly said while handing him the container with the two cupcakes.
That confirms my thought from earlier, it is Akuri-sensei that she was "thanking", but for what and did she feel anything special for him.
Why do you even care so much? You aren't her boyfriend or anything. She has no obligation to you. I thought to myself. It's true, but I didn't like the thought of her falling for someone else.
I watched as he accepted the cupcakes.
Thank you Sato-san this was very kind of you to do." He said.
Kimiko was looking toward the ground. Probably due to her shy nature. I watched Akuri-sensei's eyes rake over Kimiko's form. I could sense the lust behind his eyes. I clenched my fists.
How dare he look at her like that?!
" You're… you're welcome… I-i have to go back to club now…" she stammered before turning around and quickly walking away. Not noticing his still eyes raking over my retreating form with lust filling them or that she was being followed by me.
I followed her as she walked down 2 hallways before I heard footsteps approaching her. She started walking faster. I frowned, did she know the owners of the foot steps? I watched her from the corner that I was hiding behind.
A group of girls approached her. I recognized were daily guests at the host club. One of the girls grabbed Kimiko's raven black hair and wrenched at it. My blood boiled, but I kept myself in my hiding spot.
" We were looking for you." One of the girls said.
I watched as Kimiko slowly opened her eyes. She looked a bit relieved when she noticed something. " Honestly sure your pretty but other than that what's so good about you? What do you have that we don't?" Another girl asked.
Kimiko had a pure heart and she was innocent. She was adorable and her shy nature only added to that. Not to mention she was smart, I saw all the notes she takes every day.
" A good personality?" she replied smugly. I raised my eyebrow in surprise, and smirked and her response.
That smirk quickly disappeared when I saw one of the girls raise her hand and slap Kimiko. Quickly I rushed over to them, rage filling my entire body. When the girls noticed me they quickly panicked I ignored whatever they said and headed to my destination: Kimiko. They ran away and threw Kimiko towards the wall. A frown formed when a rather loud thud echoed through the hallway. It deepened more so when she winked in pain.
"Kimiko!" I exclaimed rushing over to her.
"Hey…" she meekly replied trying to get up only to be lifted into my arms, bridal style. She barely weighed anything.
" I'll take you back to the club." I said looking at her worriedly. I eyed her shoulder and cheek warily.
As I carried her back to the clubroom I heard her sigh. Eventually she started crying much to my discomfort. I adjusted my hold on her a bit so she could cry into my chest. I held her closer to my chest.
I increased my speed.
By the time I was back at the host club we had 2-3 minutes until host activities started. When the others saw me with Kimiko in my arms, in the state she was in they quickly stopped what they were doing and followed me as I headed towards a couch. I looked at Kyoya before he nodded and canceled club activities for the day.
Gently, I placed her down to one of the couches. We were quickly surrounded but I ignored them and headed to the kitchen to look for a first aid kit and some ice for her cheek. I could hear them bombard her with questions.
When I located the first aid kit I grabbed it, and with ice in my other hand I quickly headed back into the main room." Kimiko are you okay? What happened? Come on guys give her some space!" Haruhi said and shooed Tamaki and the hovering twins away a bit. They just moved to sit on the couch across from Kimiko.
Deciding to answer them I simply said " She was getting bullied." before making my way next to Kimiko on the couch, the spot now open since Mitsukuni moved over. I gave him a quick nod before turning my attention to her. She further clarifying the situation that had happened. I reached for her dress to pull it down to expose her shoulder, but I looked at her for confirmation first. When she nodded I gently pulled it down revealing her blue and purple bruised shoulder. That was bleeding slightly.
I clenched my hand slightly.
I shouldn't have waited.
The others made horrified comments about it while I held a cotton ball soaked with peroxide and started to dab at the bruise, trying to clean the blood off also. The area where her shoulder came in contact with the wall had a very sharp edge to it causing her to bleed slightly.
She winced in pain when the peroxide came in contact with her shoulder.
" Sorry." I said not meaning to cause her any pain.
"I-it's okay." She said giving me a small thankful smile.
I love her smile.
Kyoya started to interrogate her about the girls. " Yeah I'll tell you them later." I simply replied carefully disinfecting her slightly bleeding shoulder.
" It's pretty safe to assume that they're jealous that we pay attention to her more than we do to them." Kyoya said.
" She's getting bullied like Haruhi did then?" The twins asked.
she blinked before asking," Haruhi was bullied?" she asked.
" One of Tama-chan's guests bullied her, but we got her to stop!" Mitsukuni said.
" I-I see… U-um Mori I was just wondering why were you there?" she asked, curious.
I slightly tensed. I decided to not answer.
" U-um Mori?" she tried asked again.
Mitsukuni giggled " He followed you Kimi-chan. He followed you after you left the club room!"
She flushed before glancing at me . I had just finished with the peroxide. I looked back at her giving her a knowing look and she looked away embarrassed. I gently raised my hand to her face and wiped away her tears and gave her a small smile.
" Your cheek will be fine. It might be red for a bit though. Does it hurt?" I asked staring her cheek and wishing I had decided to intervene sooner
"N-no I'm, i-it's , I'm okay!" she squeaked out, face as red as a tomato.
Realization must have hit Haruhi because she then said " Wait was that why Akuri-sensei was with you yesterday? While I was in the bathroom? Did the girls bully you?" Haruhi exclaimed.
I raised my eyebrow slightly at that and gave Kimiko a questioning look. Why didn't she tell us? And did Akuri-sensei save her yesterday? Is that what she meant?
" Y-yes… They were about to cut my hair when Akuri-sensei stepped in and saved me." she
meekly said.
" Why didn't you tell me?" Haruhi gently asked.
" I didn't want to cause any trouble…" she muttered in response. I frowned she wouldn't of caused any trouble. I would save her anyday.
" I'm your friend Kimiko, We're your friends! We get worried you know… We want to help you."
I nodded in agreement.
" S-sorry… I just haven't had many f-friends…" she muttered out and was quickly embraced by the twins both rubbing their cheeks on her much to my discontent. Mitsukuni was situated on her lap hugging her waist also much to my discontent while Tamaki was also hugging her also much to my discontent. I was ruffling her soft and silky hair. I slightly became angry when I realized they were about to cut her lovely hair. Haruhi and Kyoya were smiling at us.
" We forgive you! You're so cute!" The twins both said.
" My darling daughter is so adorable! Of course I forgive you!" Tamaki dramatically said.
"Kimi-chan's so nice so she shouldn't get hurt! We'll protect you Kimi-chan!" Hani said tightening his grip on my waist.
"Ah." was all I said. Yes, I would protect her.
I was very glad that she was simply thanking Akuri-sensei for cupcakes she didn't seem to have any special feelings over him besides gratefulness. Why do I care for her so much? I asked myself thinking deeply. Slowly it began to dawn onto me that my feeling for Kimiko were much greater than friendship.
I like her. A lot.
But the real question was: Does she like me back?
I suppose I'll have to figure that out. I slowly began to get a bit sleepy. A lot has happened today and I didn't even get to eat one of her cupcakes.
" Well considering all that's happened to you, I'm sure you want to go home and rest Kimiko-senpai, we'll arrange a ride for you. Walking from Ouran to your home is about 20-30 minutes right? I doubt you're in any state to do that kind of exercise after all you've had fragile health since you were young" Kyoya stated. He truly knew everything.
20-30 minutes a walk? That's rather long. I thought frowning slightly.
" I'll take her home." I suddenly said.
" Takashi take good care of Kimi-chan okay?" Mitsukuni said while looking at me.
" Yeah."
" W-wait it's fine, plus you go home with Hani right? He won't have a ride!" she said panicking.
" It's fine Kimiko we'll give him a ride" The twins casually said each munching on a cupcake. To be more precise, the last cupcakes.
" Let's go." I suddenly said and picked her up princess style again. I frowned for a second, I was getting more tired by the second.
" W-wait!" she exclaimed, but I ignored her. I was tired.
I carried her into a limo that was waiting outside of school. Gently I placed her next to me before slightly sagging onto the seat myself. I glanced at her and noticed she was sitting a bit too far for my liking. I moved closer to her until her side was pressed up to mine.
Much better.
During the ride I kept looking at her. Looking her her petite form. And how her lips were a sweet delicious pink that I wanted to devour. A plan formed in my mind.
" The person who you were thanking was Akuri-sensei right?" I asked suddenly.
" Y-yes." she said glancing at me curiously.
" For saving you?" I asked. I looked at her lips with tired eyes. Sleepiness in my mind.
" Yes…"
" Do I get a thank you too?" I quickly asked, smirking slightly.
My hand reached for her chin gently tilting her head up slightly. She blushed. And my lips were suddenly on hers in a gentle kiss. It was a bit before I felt her lips slightly press back on mine.
So soft…
After a few more seconds I pulled away, content. I smirked at her face it was too adorable.
Slowly, sleepiness drained my energy.
I didn't remember much besides the fact I was hugging a very warm and comfy pillow. I pulled it closer to my body and wrapped one of my legs around it. Before burying my head into the softness of it.
