When I'm With You
Chapter 7 - Revealed
Closing her eyes calmly, Aya's heart pounded loudly as Kyouya's lips pressed against hers. Never in her life had she been kissed. Aya slowly lifted her hands and wrapped her arms around Kyouya. She hugged him tightly, letting her feelings over take her actions. Kyouya lowered his left hand and placed it around Aya's waist and pulled her towards him. This was the way things were suppose to be. Aya wasn't suppose to be with anyone else but him.
"Kyouya," Aya said as she slowly departed her lips from his, but still kept her hands around him. Kyouya looked at her and brushed her hair with his long fingers. She stared into his eyes with great calmness. "What's going to happen now? I mean, what's going to happen between us, Kyouya?" Aya could feel herself blushing as she spoke. She had always reserved her first kiss for Rei, but now, it was gone. Her first kiss had been taken away by Kyouya and she didn't seem to mind in the very least. Then Kyouya gently pushed Aya's head over his chest, surprising her. She could feel his breaths and hear his heart pounding. Aya tilted her head up and looked at him while his arms pressed against her body. "Kyouya? I really want to know what's going to happen between us."
Instead of answering her question, Kyouya let go of her and turned his body around so that it was facing the setting sun on the other side of the window. He placed his hands in his pockets as he sighed. Even though he didn't want to give it much thought, Kyouya knew exactly what he felt for Aya. There was no denying it anymore, especially after he had kissed her. Then again, it wasn't a good idea to say his feelings publicly and there were several reasons why. First of all, he was a member of a Host Club, a place where males entertain and flirt around with girls. Kyouya closed his eyes slowly as he pondered about it. Aya's fragile heart probably couldn't stand watching girls all around him. Second, he was afraid that girls would go after Aya out of jealously and anger because of him. Then, there was the third reason. Kyouya opened his eyes again as he heard Aya take a couple of steps toward him. Third, his family would never approve their relationship. In a way, they were from two whole different worlds that never collided.
Aya watched Kyouya while his back faced her. Placing her hands together, Aya waited for Kyouya's reaction. Deep down inside though, Aya felt scared. She was afraid that Kyouya would reject her, the same way Rei had. Even though Kyouya had just kissed her, Aya still doubted his feelings for her. Her experience with Rei had left her so traumatized that she didn't have much confidence in anyone. Aya wanted to call out to Kyouya, but fear would stop her every time. Why did she have to be this way? This childish fear had been her downfall in her relationship with Rei. Aya took a deep breath and stared at the floor. "Kyouya, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bother you with such pointless questions." Aya tried her best to keep her tears inside her eyes. "I didn't mean to put pressure on you. As long as we keep being friends, then I'm happy."
Kyouya smiled to himself and turned around to look at Aya. He gently grabbed Aya's right hand and placed it on his cheek, making Aya blush and turn away from his gaze. "Silly girl. There's no reason for you to apologize." Aya shifted her eyes to look at him. He was giving her a small but kind smile. "I want to be with you, but I don't know if the feeling is mutual." He slowly gave Aya's hand a gentle kiss.
With a surprised expression, Aya heart pulse began to increase with rapid speed. Did Kyouya just say he wanted to be her? Did she hear wrong? For some strange reason, her feet were starting to tremble with nervousness. No one had ever told her that before. Aya didn't know how to react or what to do. Aya watched silently as Kyouya dropped her hand back. He was probably waiting for an answer, but she didn't know what to say. Her feelings for him had grown a lot, but she couldn't hide the fact that Rei was still in her heart. Shaking her thoughts away, Aya decided to go along with her current feelings. If her heart desired to by Kyouya at the moment, then she should listen to it. Beside, she liked Kyouya more than she had thought.
"Kyouya, I want to be with you too. I really love being with you." Aya paused and looked toward the window. "I thought I would never get over Rei, but I was wrong. I met you and everything changed. I'm still a little weak, but I promise I will become strong so I can make you happy everyday." Aya turned to look at him. "I always enjoy being with you because I like you."
Smiling, Kyouya patted Aya in the head. "I'm not perfect either, but I will try to be for you." Aya smiled at him and hugged him tightly. Aya felt so happy that she could cry. The feeling that was inside her was so beautiful and overpowering. She didn't care what her friends or Rei thought about Kyouya, she liked him and there was no one that could possibly change her mind. With her hands still wrapped around his body, Aya looked up at him. "To me, you're the most perfect guy ever!" Kyouya shook his head while developing a sarcastic smile. "If you say so." Kyouya replied. He grabbed Aya's hand and started to walk down the hallway. Catching her by surprise, Aya followed Kyouya as he dragged her behind him.
"Hey, Kyouya?" Aya said, silently as they walked toward the long elegant stairway. Kyouya looked at her from the corner of his eye, waiting for her to finish her statement. "Where are we going? Tamaki and the others are going to be looking for us." Aya paused and then looked at the wall while she pouted. "Not to mention all those girls that are waiting for you." Kyouya couldn't help but smile at Aya's last statement.
"Did you forget that your mother was being released from the hospital today?" Kyouya asked her as they slowly walked down the stairs, hand in hand. "I'm sure you want to be the first one that greets her." Aya nodded cheerfully as she gave Kyouya's hand a squeeze. "After we pick up your mother, I'll drive you over to your new apartment." Aya's head suddenly bolted up and stopped climbing down the stairs. Kyouya turned to look at Aya's surprised face, pushing his glasses back. "What is it, Aya?"
"Did you really get an apartment for my mother and me?" That was a dumb question, but Aya couldn't believe that Kyouya would do such a thing for them. She was happy that he gotten a place for them to stay, but she wasn't sure if she should accept it or not. Miyu had already offered her home to them until she found the proper place to stay. Aya sighed and gave Kyouya a small smile. She would just have to reject Miyu's offer and go along with Kyouya. After all, they were going out now. "Thank you so much, Kyouya. My mother and I really appreciate what you're doing for us. It's really nice of you." Aya, smiling, walked ahead of Kyouya and pulled his hand instead of him pulling on her. If this was the way things were going to be, then there was no way Aya would ever feel sad again. Things were finally starting to fall into place.
Finally reaching the last step, Kyouya smirked silently to himself. "Of course," Kyouya suddenly said, startling Aya and making her stop walking. "This is going to add on to your debt." Aya placed her hands on her hips as she gave Kyouya a glare. Then, after a couple of seconds, she started giggling. No matter what happened, Kyouya would always be Kyouya. Shaking her head with a smile, Aya crossed her hands. "I should of known better." Aya pretended to hit herself on the head with her small right fist. "I guess I'm going to have to work extra hard to pay off that debt. It's starting to get out of hand, though."Aya looked at Kyouya sweetly. "Even though I have to pay you back, I'm still grateful for everything you have done."
Kyouya nodded and started to walk toward the entrance door. Sighing, Aya pushed her hair back and followed Kyouya. "I should have gotten my bag." Aya suddenly said, quietly. "I forgot it in the club, along with my cell phone." Aya sighed, again. What if her mother had called her, and she didn't know? "Don't worry about it." Kyouya told her as he held out the door for her. Aya stepped outside into the the fresh air. Kyouya grabbed her hand again as he let go of the door. "I'm sure no one is going to take it." Aya shrugged while her hand felt the comfort of being held by Kyouya. It was amazing how things could change with just a simple kiss.
White puffy clouds were scattered across the sky while the sun shined brightly on them. A small cool breeze would slash by them, running down a feeling of relaxtion down Aya's spine. There she was, standing with Kyouya Ootori in front of Ouran Academy and holding his warm hand. What would Tamaki and the others say if they found them like this? Aya shook her thoughts. Setting her mind straight, Aya wondered why they were just standing there. They weren't to get anywhere if they didn't start walking soon. Then again, Aya didn't really mind. She enjoyed just being by Kyouya side. As her eyes widen, Aya's heart began to pound. When had that feeling developed? She had always believed that her heart would always belong to Rei, her fist love. Rei didn't deserve her affection, though. Even though he had gotten a bit kinder toward her, that didn't change the fact that he had made her cry many times. To top things off, he had rejected many times as well. Aya took a deep breath and tilted her head to look at Kyouya. It was time to move forward and never look back.
After a couple of seconds, Kyouya quickly let go of Aya's hand as they stood still. Aya, surprised, stared at him bashfully. He was staring at something black that was approaching. Squinting her eyes, Aya realized that it was his black silky car that was driving up toward them. Aya looked down at the ground as the car got closer and closer. Then, the car stopped right in front of them. The driver opened his door and got out. Without uttering a single word, the driver quickly walked toward the back left door and opened it. "Master Kyouya," The driver said as he held the door for them. Kyouya motioned Aya to go in first. Aya nodded and went inside, followed by Kyouya.
Once inside, Aya moved toward the right side window while Kyouya also kept his distance. Sighing quietly to herself, Aya looked out the window as she heard the driver close the door. She watched him walk over to his door and sit down in the driver's seat. Aya gave Kyouya a quick glance as she began to suspect something. Could it be that Kyouya wanted their relationship a secret? Closing her eyes, Aya leaned her head on her hand. The driver pressed on the accelerator and drove away.
…
Haruhi grumbled to herself as she pulled the club's door open. She couldn't believe how annoying Tamaki and the others could get when they're bored. Before she stepped outside, Haruhi placed her hand in her pocket and pulled out the little money she had. She slowly counted the amount she had, and sighed with relief when she found out she had enough to buy the coffee. Since Aya was no where in sight, they sent her to buy the 'commoner's coffee'. Placing the money back in her pocket, Haruhi was about to walk out when Tamaki suddenly called out to her.
"Don't keep us waiting!" Tamaki suddenly exclaimed, startling Haruhi and causing her to jump. She turned to look at him. He was standing a few steps away from her while he pointed his index finger at her. Rolling her eyes, Haruhi turned forward. "Remember, don't talk to strangers! The world is filled with dangers, Haruhi! As soon as you get the precious commoner's coffee, come straight back to Daddy!" Haruhi shook her head in annoyance, walked out the club, and slammed the door shut, leaving Tamaki talking to himself. Then again, he always talked to himself.
Walking down the hallway, Haruhi suddenly noticed something black laying on the ground. She walked closer to it and realized that it was a black journal. Of course, curiosity hit her and she bent down on her knees to look at the journal. It looked so familiar. Where had she seen a black hard covered journal before? Placing her hand on her chin, Haruhi thought about it for a bit until she finally remembered. Kyouya had a black journal just like that. He was always writing in it and he never let anyone else see it. Then again, there were so many things about Kyouya that she or others didn't know about. The one thing that was obvious though, was that Kyouya felt something for Aya. Haruhi knew that she wasn't the only one that had noticed.
Haruhi picked it up as she stood up straight on her feet. Now that she thought about it, not only was Aya not around, but Kyouya wasn't inside the club either. Smiling to herself, Haruhi wondered where they had gone. It must be nice to spend time with the one you love. Of course, Haruhi had never experienced that feeling since she has never fallen in love. From thinking about Kyouya and Aya together, Haruhi suddenly pictured herself with Tamaki. Quickly shaking her thoughts away, Haruhi turned her focus back to the black journal.
What could possibly be inside that journal? Haruhi was tempted to open it, but a part of her was telling her not to. If she took it inside the club, then Tamaki and others would definitely open it and read it. Then they would make fun of Kyouya for sure. Haruhi decided to keep it and give it to Kyouya later, when he showed up again.
The temptation to open the journal resurfaced as Haruhi held the journal right in front of her face. She looked at it from all angles, making sure that there weren't any papers falling out. Then she looked to her right and to her left to make sure that no one was coming. Haruhi walked toward the wall and leaned her back against it. Then she carefully opened Kyouya's journal. Inside, the pages were full of writing. The first couple of pages had a list of all the guests that had ever stepped inside the club. From Renge to Nekozawa Senpai, they were all in there. Then she found a page that had all her information in it. All the sales and auctions that the Host Club had were recorded there. Haruhi smiled a bit. Kyouya was organized. He kept a record of everything and everyone.
Haruhi flipped to the last written pages and was surprised to Aya's name written on it many times. All it said was Aya Hoshino, over and over again. Haruhi covered her mouth to prevent a laugh from coming out. It was true, then. Kyouya did feel something for her since he had all of Aya's information. Her phone number, her old address, her previous schools and more stuff like that. Haruhi continued to flip through the pages. It went from a record book to almost a dairy in a matter of seconds.
Smacked in the middle of an empty page, there was a sentence written. Haruhi picked the journal closer to her eyes since Kyouya's writing had decreased in size. Her eyes widen after she read what it said.
Aya Hoshino loves Rei Otohata.
Haruhi slowly lowered the journal with sadness. Could that be true? Why would Kyouya write such a thing? Closing the journal, Haruhi looked outside the window. She remembered when Aya had told her the story of her and Rei. Maybe she also told Kyouya the same story and he ended up being heart broken. Shaking her head, Haruhi inhaled a large amount of air and stood up straight. Whatever the case was, it wasn't any of her business. If Kyouya loved Aya, then he would have to find a way to win her heart. Haruhi was sure that Aya already felt something for Kyouya, but the feeling she had for Kyouya wasn't the same feeling she had for Rei. She knew that Rei was still stuck deep down inside her heart and it wasn't going to be easy to forget about him. The love she felt for Rei was a lot stronger than the love she felt for Kyouya.
Little by little, though, and if he tried his best, Kyouya could conquer Aya's heart. Right now, her heart was heart was hurt, fragile and weak that could easily be manipulated by anyone. All they needed was a little push and those two might actually fall in deep love for each other. To Haruhi, they were perfect match.
Haruhi sighed as she began to walk down the hallway with Kyouya's journal wrapped around her arms. Deep inside her chest, Haruhi wished Tamaki loved her.
"Oh, man!" Aya exclaimed closing the car's door. She slouched her body on the seat as her fingers ran through her hair with worry. She and Kyouya had gone to the hospital, but her mother wasn't there anymore. Her mother had already left to go to work. "Why did she do that? She's in no condition to work." Aya turned to look at Kyouya, who was sitting beside her. "I wonder if I should go after her?" She watched Kyouya shake his head no as soon as the driver started driving the car again.
"You shouldn't worry yourself to much." Kyouya looked out the window and saw all the people that were walking. "She seems like a very strong woman. I'm sure she'll be fine." Pushing his glasses back, Kyouya formed a small smile on his face. "Besides, I gave her the keys and the address to the new apartment, so after work, she'll come straight home." Crossing her hands, Aya gave him a keen look. "Kyouya, why are you always doing things behind my back? Don't hide things from me! Like I would have never guessed that you had bought-" She stopped at mid-sentence because Kyouya had placed his index finger over his lips, telling her to be quiet. Without saying another word, Aya turned her head to look back at the window.
It was true. Kyouya really didn't want anyone to know that they had something going on. Aya shifted her eyes to look at the driver. Kyouya didn't even want the driver to suspect them. Sighing, Aya watched the cars that were driving by. What was the point then? What was the point of going out if they weren't even going to be able to spend time together? They would always have to watch their guard. Aya could feel that things between them weren't going to be easy, but she wasn't going to let this relationship fall apart so easily. Her relationship with Rei was torn apart because of her. She let it fall apart. Aya had no confidence in herself and was always doubting Rei. To top things off, Rei was a such a cold hearted person. He would always tell her things bluntly and with no emotions. Aya sighed to herself as she closed her eyes. Then there was Ran. Rei had fallen in love with her best friend, Ran.
For the last time, Aya shook her thoughts away. That was all in the past. The past had to be left in the past and it must never torment the present. Aya had to get clear in her mind that Kyouya wasn't Rei. He was very different from Rei. For starters, Kyouya was a lot kinder and more considerate towards her. He had said very sweet things to her. Aya blushed at the thought of Kyouya kissing her. That was one of the most happiest moments Aya had ever experienced. Aya moved her thin fingers to her lips and closed her eyes. The taste of Kyouya's lips still lingered while his aroma circled throughout her mind, body, and heart.
"Hey, Aya," Kyouya suddenly snapped Aya from her thoughts, startling her. He pointed with his head outside the window. "We're here."
"Ah! Really!" Aya's face quickly lit up and scooted herself next to Kyouya. She peeked outside with great excitement. The neighborhood looked calm, safe, and quiet as they passed by many apartment buildings. There were a few trees here and there, but not many. There were a few people walking by that stopped and stared at the car. Aya couldn't really blame them. It wasn't every day people saw a fancy expensive car like Kyouya's. Aya couldn't hide the emotion she felt. Kyouya had picked such a perfect spot for her mother and her to live in. "Kyouya, didn't you say that I was going to live right next to Haruhi?" Kyouya nodded slowly. "Oh! That's great. It's always hard to move into a new place, but I'm glad I'm going to have Haruhi right next to me." Aya smiled him cheerfully while her heart pounded rapidly.
The driver stopped the car when they stood right in front of some small but cute apartment building. The apartment were a light pink color and was two stories high. They had brown doors and each door had a small window beside it. It also had a wooden fence around it that was held up by some bricks. Without waiting for driver to open the door, Kyouya opened the door himself and stepped outside. He held the door open for Aya. Smiling, Aya stepped outside while her eyes gleamed at her new home. Then Kyouya walked over to the driver, who was outside, standing beside car's door. "Anything else you would like, Master Kyouya." He said, bowing as Kyouya walked right in front of him.
"Yes, there is one more thing I need to ask from you." Kyouya told him as he placed his hands in his pockets. He slightly tilted his head to take a quick peek at Aya. She was still looking at the apartment building with joy, completely lost in thought. "Go back to Ouran and I would like you to get a pink bag that was left in the Host Club." The driver stood up straight as he faced Kyouya. "Yes, Master. Anything else?" Kyouya shook his head. "That will be all." The driver bowed one more time before he got in the car and drove away. Kyouya sighed to himself as he watched the car leave. Now, he can fully relax and be with Aya. The reason Kyouya had been so careful around his driver was because the driver had another job. His other job was to report anything out of the ordinary to his father. The least thing that Kyouya wanted was confrontation with his father, a guy he was starting to despise.
"Kyouya, this is wonderful!" Aya said sweetly while smiling. Kyouya walked toward her and grabbed her hand, making her blush. "I'm glad you like it." Kyouya whispered her in her ear.
They walked toward some small stairs that were located on the side. Aya quickly guessed that her apartment unit was located on the top floor. They climbed up the stairs until they got to the top. Kyouya let go of Aya's hand and walked in front of her. They walked by the first two doors and stopped in front of third door. Aya smiled happily as she watched Kyouya take the keys out of his pocket. "Here." He said, dropping the keys in Aya's hands. "These are the keys." Aya nodded and placed the key inside the lock. After a couple of turns, the door finally opened. Before she walked in, Aya gripped on the keys as she looked at the floor. "Thank you, Kyouya. I owe you so much."
As soon as she entered, Aya gasped with surprise. The entire place was already organized with furniture. Aya walked inside, her mouth covered with her hand. Had Kyouya bought all of this? There was a sofa in the living room and a small table in the dinning section. She wondered if the bedrooms had beds. Aya sighed. Of course, they did since everything else was in place. She walked toward the kitchen and sure enough, the cabinets held all sorts of dishes while the refrigerator contained food. Aya went back to the living where Kyouya was standing with his hands crossed. "Kyouya, you really didn't have to do all this. My mother has a job, you know. You don't have to do everything for us."
"Yes, I know." Kyouya said, taking off his glasses on putting them on top of a small shelf that was near the sofa. "But remember that this is also added to your debt." Aya giggled a little. At first, Aya would feel a sense of despair whenever Kyouya would mention her debt. Now, she tried to find the humor in it. "Yes, of course! I already promised to work extra hard!" Aya exclaimed, smiling and raising her right hand in the air. She turned to look at Kyouya, but he wasn't smiling. In fact, he had a serious face. Aya's smile suddenly turned into a frown. What was wrong with him? She also wondered why he had taken off his glasses.
Aya heart skipped a beat as she saw him walking toward her. For some reason, for every step that Kyouya would take toward her, Aya would take one step back. "Kyouya, what's wrong? Are you okay?" Aya's eyes were locked with Kyouya's glare, making her lose track of where she was going. Before she knew it, Aya had run out of space, bumping herself with the sofa. She suddenly lost her balance and ended up falling on top of the sofa with her body stretched out. Her eyes widen as she watched Kyouya lean on top of her. He placed his right knee on the sofa and in between Aya's legs. Both of his hands dropped beside Aya's face as they held up his body. He looked at Aya, leaning his face closer to her. Aya's heart started pounding wildly. "Kyouya, w-what are you doing?"
"There is another reason why I bought you all of this." Kyouya whispered in her ear. The sound of his voice made Aya desire him so much. She had never felt a feeling so strong as the one she was feeling at that very moment. Without realizing it, Aya grabbed Kyouya's sleeves and gripped on them tightly. "Tell me, then." Aya said quietly. "Why did you do it? Why have you done so much for me?"
"This my way to make amends." Kyouya told her without taking his eyes off her. Aya lifted one of her eyebrows with confusion. She didn't understand what Kyouya was trying to say. Aya was so close to his face that she could practically feel his breath. The urge to kiss him suddenly began to emerge in Aya, but she fought against it. "A way to make amends?" She repeated with a blank expression. "I don't understand. What do you mean?" Kyouya smirked as he brushed Aya's hair with his fingers. "It's okay you're not suppose to understand." Aya shook her head rapidly. "I want to know, Kyouya. Please tell me. I don't want any secrets between us." Kyouya sighed to himself. There was no way he could say no to such a pretty face, but he was afraid that his next words might hurt her.
"Fine." Kyouya paused as he took a deep breath. "There's a favor that I need to ask from you." Aya flinched a bit, but nodded silently. "Sure. You can ask me anything." Aya lifted her right hand and began to play with Kyouya's soft black hair. She brushed his hair with her fingers, the same thing he did to her hair.
"This, what we have between us, has to remain a secret. I don't want anyone from Ouran or the club to figure out that we have something going on." He closed his eyes slowly since he didn't want to see her expression. "Trust me. Its what's best for both of us." Kyouya was surprised to see that Aya's face expression hadn't changed in least. She was still looking at him with smile as she continued to play with his hair. "That's all I wanted to say." He restated, hoping that Aya had gotten the message, even though he wished he could be with Aya publicly.
"Is that all?" Aya asked quietly and shyly. After she saw Kyouya nod, a tear streamed out of Aya's eyes. "It's okay, Kyouya. I understand. I'm sure that whatever your reasons are, they must be important." Aya suddenly felt a knot stuck in her throat. "I will admit though, that I'm kind of sad. I wanted to be with you at all times." Kyouya stared at her as she spoke. "I wanted to tell everyone that out of all the pretty girls in Ouran, Kyouya Ootori chose me." Aya knew that her selfish feelings should be ignored, but still she felt like she had a point. Couples spend their time together.
"I'm so sorry, Aya. Please forgive me. I don't want my father to figure this out. That's why it must remain a secret." Kyouya kissed Aya on the cheek, making Aya's heart skip a beat. "I'm sorry things have to be this way." Aya shook her head. "It's fine. As long as I know that you'll always be there for me, I'm happy." He leaned down and gave her another kiss, but this time on the lips. "I will always be here for you." He told her. "I'm happy," He paused, taking another second to admire her, "as long as I'm with you."
Suddenly, the door opened. Aya's mother came in holding a small box in her hands. She looked around and spotted Kyouya on top of her daughter on the sofa.
Of course, she wasn't half as surprised as Rei, who came in carrying a small suitcase. He stared at them with anger and jealousy as his hands turned into fists. Kyouya turned his face to look at who had just walked in, making eye contact with Rei. Aya quickly sat up and buried her face on Kyouya's shoulder.
There is no way I'm going to hand Aya to you, Kyouya.
