It's the end of club for today, and its been a couple of weeks since that conversation and I'm still wondering what it was about. 'Why would they be talking about something that involves me and not talk about it with me? I find that unfair.' "Haruhi?" I looked over to see Kyoya ready to go back. This was my last day at his house so he promised to take me out to dinner.
"Coming." I gathered up my stuff and met up with him at the door.
"Oh Haruhi we're going to the beach by the way."
"The beach really? Hmm, I like the beach that sounds fun."
"I mean everyone's going. The host club and the girls as well."
"Okay why?"
"Because I promised Tamaki that we'd go to the beach but I'm not about to let him see my girlfriend in a bikini."
I blushed a deep red. "G-Girlfriend?"
"Oh I'm sorry I just assumed that since you had the same feelings for me that..."
"No...I like it. I like being called your girlfriend..."
"Really?"
"Yeah...so when are we going to the beach?"
"Tomorrow."
"Alright I'll have to go back to my house and get more clothes."
"No need the maids washed all the clothes you had and I asked your father to pack your suitcase. He texted me when he finished and that was a while ago."
"Wow you have everything handled then huh?"
"Yes. Yes I do." He smiled at me and I thought about doing something cute.
"Hey Kyoya come down here I wanna tell you something." He lowered his ear in front of my face and I kissed his cheek and smiled. Then I walked away shouting back at him, "Come on Kyoya I'm hungry and you're driving!" I watched him with his stunned but smiling face run towards me.
"H-Haruhi you are a very sneaky girl."
"Yes I know."
"So the host club really does hold a huge secret then." We both turned around a little surprised because we thought we were the only ones here but we saw Nekozawa - Senpai.
"N-Nekozawa - Senpai? You heard?"
"Yes I did little Haruhi. You are a girl and you are the biggest secret of the host club. No rumors have gone around yet but if they do I will make sure to put a stop to them, and don't worry no one will be harmed while I do so."
"Why would you do that for me?"
"Because you are a cute girl who belongs to the shadow king. I will always be close to the shadow king. Always. Yes Always."
"Uh...Kyoya?"
"We were childhood friends. He was bullied a lot when we were kids and even back then he didn't like the light much."
"Did he not have his cloak with him? Or did they take it from him what happened for him to stay so close to you. Not that its a problem its just that I find this interesting."
"Hmm alright then I'll tell you. I was attending a party my father was hosting but I didn't much care for it because I was just an eight year old at the time, so I wandered off to go find the other kids. I took my fathers dark purple cloak with me. It was huge on me but I thought it would be a great way to either play with the other kids or scare them."
"You were a mischievous little boy weren't you Kyoya?"
"Yes Haruhi I was."
"I suddenly felt the urge to look at the inside of Nekozawa - Senpai's cloak and it had the name Ootori written inside it."
"Wait a minute about that cloak..."
"Oh so you noticed well I did find the other kids at the party and that's where we met. Well sort of. He was wearing a hoodie and some jeans, and some of the other kids were making fun of him for hiding. I walked up to them asking why they were teasing one of my father's guests and they got a little irritated and left taking his hoodie with them. I had told Nekozawa - Senpai that I would get his hoodie back and he could hold on to the cloak. He put it on and I ran after them. Before I knew it they threw it into the fire place and I was extremely upset as was my father. My father had asked what they were doing and they admitted what they had done and he went to their parents and asked them to leave and never come back. He didn't like it when parents couldn't control their children's behaviors. He was perfectly fine with me being mischievous because he was too when he was a kid but these kids were being plain rotten. Then Nekozawa - Senpai came over to us wearing my father's cloak and started to take it off but my father stopped him saying that he could keep it if it made him feel better. So he did and I guess he eventually grew into it."
"Yes I did. I had kept this for many years."
"Oh so that's why you weren't all that shocked that he had blonde hair and a kind of secret identity."
"Yes, however I was very surprised that he had a sister."
"Oh okay that makes sense."
Nekozawa - Senpai walked towards me with an honest smile on his face and said, "Haruhi if you need anything. Anything at all and Kyoya isn't there you can come and talk to me."
"I agree completely Haruhi. Despite what you may think he is actually a reliable person. If I'm not there please go to him for any help or advise you might need."
"Alright I'll be sure to remember that."
"Good now you two go on your date." I nodded at Nekozawa - Senpai and we left.
On the way to the restaurant I was getting curious about something. "Kyoya, why did your father have a cloak?"
"Oh when my brothers and I were kids we would play super hero and dad would play the villain." I couldn't help but laugh. "Why are you laughing?"
"Just imagining your dad playing a villain with three little boys playing hero it's kind of cute but funny at the same time."
"Alright, alright whatever. Oh hey we're here."
"Oh awesome I love this restaurant."
"I'm glad because I'm letting you get whatever you want and afterwards I plan to tell you what the conversation between our fathers was about."
"Really?"
"Really."
"I can't wait to find out."
"Me neither."
"What do you mean?"
"It's uh nothing for now. Let's go and enjoy."
"Yes let's."
We are now walking in the park and it has a nice glow thanks to the Sakura trees and the lamps along the sidewalk. "So what were they talking about Kyoya?"
"Well um...Haruhi how much do you love me?"
"I love you a lot."
"Okay um...they were talking about a um...marriage proposal."
"WHAT!?"
"I thought you might act that way. If you don't want to it's okay I'll tell my father to wait but your father said it was okay so now its just up to me."
"I'd say yes if you had the ring and also I wouldn't marry you until after graduation. You have no choice but to accept that if you want an honest answer." He immediately got down on one knee and held my hands.
"Haruhi I know this is a bit sudden but I have loved you the moment I met you. You're sweet, kind, beautiful, stubborn, strong willed, you don't care about appearance, you don't care about titles or labels. You love me for me. You are the perfect girl for me. Will you marry me?" I watched him in awe and felt the tears spill out as I saw the box come out of his pocket and be opened to reveal a beautiful rose shaped ring with a diamond in the middle of the rose. I nodded and he put the ring on my finger and I looked at him again.
"Kyoya, I can't wear this at school."
"I know. I know, and we will tell the other hosts after the beach and they will keep it a secret. We will announce the engagement whenever you like. I won't marry you until after your graduation so no need to worry."
"Okay that sounds good." I kissed him lightly and smiled at him.
"HAZA! The shadow king as gained a shadow queen." We looked over to see Nekozawa - Senpai.
"How long have you been there?"
"Not long Kyoya not long. Just long enough to witness that heart warming proposal. I will be ever faithful to you my new shadow queen."
"You don't have to...Oh well I guess I made a new friend then huh."
"Yes please do think of me as a friend." I looked at Nekozawa - Senpai and back at Kyoya and just smiled. 'This has certainly been an interesting day.'
