The Notebook Kiss.

Chapter 8

How did this happen?!! When is he going to leave?!

After the fainting incident, Kaoru stayed perfectly still on the twin sized bed that his senpai laid him to rest on. While it was easy to pretend being deep asleep around anyone, Kaoru was suffocating from the tie around his neck, making it difficult to breath. Slowly, Kaoru moved the closest hand near his body toward the knot of the tie pressed against his throat.

Kyouya, looking up with the black notebook in his hand, noticed the subtle movements by the younger twin. Softly closing the notebook and tucking it behind his back, he walked slowly to the door. The noises of his foot steps echoed faintly in the room until a door slam was heard. Kaoru opened his eyes, assuming that Kyouya had left the room. Turning over to his back, Kaoru quickly tried to loosen the tie around his throat.

Step. Step. Step.

The foot steps seem to be getting closer. Kaoru paused. Even with his eyes closed shut he could sense a dark shadow looming over him through his closed eyelids.

What now? He's not leaving? Kaoru thought dreadfully, trying not to make any obvious facial movements.

Kaoru twitched when he felt the cold touch of Kyouya-senpai's skin on his hand. Still trying to keep calm, he felt the larger hand wrapping around his wrist which was the same hand holding onto the tie. Kyouya picked Kaoru's hand away from the tie and let it go to the side with a soft thud.

The younger host felt the heat rising into his cheek but he did not try to resist whatever his senpai was doing. Now the hand was going for his tie. The tie was gently loosened, unknotted, and removed from his neck. It became very awkward for Kaoru not being able to see what was going on and yet he could feel himself being undressed by undoubtedly Kyouya-senpai. His shirt collar was slowly unbuttoned down, but it came to a stop just below the collar bone.

Kaoru tightened his eyes and lips, trying not to imagine whatever expression his senpai might have on while undressing him. What made the younger twin turned extremely red was his belt being unbuckled. Kaoru wanted to move his hand to where the megane host's hand was now at to stop him---but the red head was technically supposed to be deep asleep. Kaoru, hearing his heart beating harder, clenched his fist until the belt was even removed from his pants.

With great relief, the undressing stopped right there before Kaoru could even last pretending to be deep asleep. Finally, a soft thin blanket flopped on top of him covering his body.

Eh? Was that all…? Thought Kaoru with his eyes still closed. It wasn't like he was expecting something else to happen, but still he felt slightly disappointed…What? Disappointed? Stop thinking, Kaoru. He mentally shook his head.

An extra weight seemed to have pressured the mattress to go down at the side of the bed.

Kyouya sitting at the end of the bed looked over at the supposedly "sleeping" Kaoru. The tie and belt hanged on the metal railing on the side of the bed. Observing Kaoru's face, Kyouya could have sworn that his face turned redder than when the tie was on.

In his own perspective, Kyouya's only objective was to ease Kaoru's breathing from the uncomfortable straps around his neck and waist by removing them. The megane host looked down again at Kaoru. The younger boy's face softened but still looked a bit unnerved or uncomfortable. (Obviously because of what he had just did!) Kyouya continued to gaze, observing the subtle shape of the twin's face, but at the same time he noticed it became harder to breathe. He could hear his own heart beating at an irregular pace as he looked at the other's slightly parted lips…

Before he realized it, Kyouya's hand was placed on the pillow to the side of Kaoru's head. He leaned forward toward the face of the younger host as his heart continued to beat rapidly. Holding his breath as his face was just inches closer to Kaoru's, Kyouya nervously leaned down even further.

But, he hesitated when his lips were close to Kaoru's and instead of touching it, he pressed his lips against Kaoru's forehead.

Immiediatley, Kyouya broke away the skin contact, got off the bed, and rushed to the door.

SLAM.

This time, Kaoru knew that Kyouya had already left the room.

He slowly opened his eyes and looked up. Even though he couldn't see his own forehead, Kaoru could sense the recent impression left on it. His fingers touched where Kyouya-senpai had kissed him. Slowly getting up, Kaoru looked ahead at the currently shut door, his hand still on his forehead. His cheek flushed red but his face looked confused.

Kyouya-senpai returned it. He returned the kiss!

-----

Kyouya, on the other side of the wall, leaned against the door at the empty hallway. His body was shaking more than usual. Trying to stay composed, the Shadow King tilted his head down and exhaled deeply.

Recollecting whatever he just did back there, Kyouya's fingers moved to his lips. His face turned slightly red.

Why did you do that for, idiot?

A/N:

Why did you do that for?? Answer me Kyouya!!

OMG the last update was in May A;; So sorry!! Anyways, hopefully that doesn't happen again----maybe it will haha… But I'll try not to TT;; Winterbreak! Thank you everyone for your lovely reviews!! It was the recent lengthy reviews that got me inspired to update soon XD I tried proof-reading it myself for now since it's the holiday and I doubt many people have time to beta-read at this time, so it might still be iffy. I think I need more beta-readers. Send me a message if you're interested. (unless someone wants to proof this chapter as well and I'll reupload it…)

Again sorry for the delay. I hope the doujinshi update helped somewhat!
