This day was the last day Kaoru and Tomoko would be spending together before Kyoya took her away for three months. They sat at the table silently looking at their plates, not eating their breakfast. Kaoru would occasionally look up from his plate just to look at her. She always looking so sad, and that wasn't the Tomoko he loved. He loved the beautiful girl who dressed up like a boy and was always laughing or making a joke. Kaoru hung his head and pushed the rice around in his bowl.
Tomoko would look up from her pate as well but always right after Kaoru would look back down. She hated how sad he was now, and she knew it was her fault. Why couldn't she just be happy anymore? Was it because she felt empty inside, or was it just the fact that she felt Kaoru growing away from her? It was almost ten and their food went cold long ago when Tomoko stood up almost knocking her plate over. "Kaoru lets go out today. I don' want to spend this day in silence. I want you to talk to me so much that for the next three months your voice will still be ringing in my head. I want you to hold me so when I'm gone I still feel you with me. I want you to love me so much I'm sick of it." Kaoru looked up astonished that she would say something so bold and not even trying to hide it from the staff. Tomoko starting blushing and hung her head after realizing what she blurted out. Kaoru stood up from the table quietly and walked around the table to her and lifted her face to his. He kissed her so passionately and softly that it made her weak in the knees.
When they finally separated they stood staring into each other's eyes. The housing staffs left the room because just being around them made everyone else feel jealous. "Trust me Tomoko; nothing you or Kyoya can do will make me love you less." Tomoko smiled and wrapped her arms around Kyoya holding onto him like he was the last bit of reality she could grasp before falling into Kyoya's trap. Instead of spending the running around town like they did before, they just sat around the house and occupied themselves. They would sit on the carpet in the living room and play cards; and eat lunch out in the gardens which eventually lead into a massive food fight between Kyoya, Tomoko and the housing staff. The day ended peacefully with Kyoya and Tomoko sitting against their bed looking at the boxes of old pictures they had.
Kyoya pulled out the box that was labelled high school which was the earliest pictures of them together without their mothers forcing them together. He pulled out the group photo of the host club and shoved it in Tomoko's face so she would stop ogling his baby photos. "Oh, Honey look at this, you hated me so much when you found out I was girl." Tomoko said pointing out Kaoru's obvious glare towards Tomoko who was hugging Haruhi. Kaoru sighed and slipped the photo back in the box. "It's not that I hated you," He said and kissed her neck."It's just that I was attracted to you as a boy, so when you dressed like a girl I didn't know how to keep my hands off you." he kissed her passionately and wrapped his arms around her waist.
Tomoko giggled and whispered, "Yeah, but you don't have to do that now." With that Kaoru parted from her with a large smile on his face and continued to kiss her. They eventually made their way onto the bed and continued to make out there until Tomoko pulled away. "Kaoru, you have to promise me that when I get back you'll love me like you do now," Kaoru looked at her confused and brushed the hair out of her face so he could look at her properly. "Well what I mean is, I don't want these three months to break us." Kaoru smiled shyly and kissed her forehead. "If anything babe, it will make us stronger." That night Tomoko knew they were only proving how much they truly loved each other and she wished she would never lose the warmth of his skin she was feeling and the skip of his heart beat each time they came in contact. The only problem was that they knew with each second passing by, it was a second sooner to their seperation.
