Again I do not own Ouran. Just the little idea behind this story. =)


"Kyouya-san I'm sorry to interrupt," a voice squeaked.

The two broke apart to see a young woman standing in the doorway turning quickly to leave.

"Fuyumi can I help you," Kyouya asked with a hint of frustration in his voice.

"Well there is someone for you downstairs, but I can see that you are busy at the moment so I will tell them to come back later," she said.

"Who is it," he asked even though he had a feeling he already knew.

"Tamaki," she replied.

The sound of footsteps walking up the stairs caught their attention. Fuyumi knew that this moment that she had just interrupted was one that Tamaki did not need to know about-not yet at least. She shut the door with a slight smile aimed in Kyouya's direction and intercepted Tamaki halfway.

"Tamaki, Kyouya is still going over some things with Haruhi. He said that you could probably come back later," she said.

"Just how many things were on that agenda," he asked.

She shrugged her shoulders and guided him back downstairs asking him if he knew anything new about commoner cuisine. This of course caught his attention and got him started on a recipe that Haruhi had mentioned the other day. Upstairs Kyouya looked down at Haruhi and noticed that a slight blush had appeared on her cheeks. Somehow that made her a little more endearing to him. He kissed her temple startling her in the process. She smiled slightly and finally broke the silence.

"Kyouya-senpai about the kiss," she started.

"Yes," he replied partially fearing that she regretted it.

For some reason Haruhi couldn't find the words that she wanted to say. She could only stare at him before she found herself just holding onto him. Part of her was trying to make sense of everything that just happened and another part was completely still shocked that Kyouya was attracted to her.

"Haruhi are you all right," Kyouya asked.

She nodded against his chest and finally said,

"About the kiss Kyouya-senpai I just have one question for you."

"Yes?"

"Are you really attracted to me," she asked.

"Yes, I am," was his reply.

"But Kyouya-senpai," she started.

"Before you go any further drop the senpai please," he said.

"All right then Kyouya. What is the merit in this," she asked.

"There is no merit and as much as that probably surprises you it surprises me as well," he replied.

She looked up at him and waited for him to continue. Kyouya didn't exactly know what to say after that. He wasn't exactly sure how to explain this and Haruhi could tell so she saved him the trouble of trying to stumble over his words.

"Kyouya I see that you don't fully understand this either so you can tell me later when you do figure it out."

"It's not that Haruhi. I do understand this and the reason there is no merit in this is because even though I've never been in a relationship before I don't want to build it upon what merits I can gain from it. That's not a relationship that is a business transaction and that you are not," he said.

"But what were you trying to figure out what to say? I know you were trying to figure something out because of your expression," she said.

He smiled and the thought of him being readable to her didn't really bother him. In fact in made him happy that there was someone out there who could tell how he was feeling, even if he was trying to hide it, without him ever having to express it. He walked over to the door and listened to hear if Tamaki was still there. He didn't hear anything and opened the door.

"Kyouya where are you going," Haruhi asked.

"Downstairs to talk to Fuyumi really quick about what she walked into and to see if Tamaki is gone yet," he said.

"Don't be gone too long," she said.

He smiled and nodded his head signaling that he wouldn't. 'He didn't answer my question,' she thought. As he walked down the hallway to the stairwell he could hear Tamaki's voice. He could hear him talking rapidly about commoner games and what one his sister should try. He shook his head and headed back to the room. Haruhi was still standing there looking at him expectantly.

"What," he asked.

"You never answered my question," she said.

"What question," he asked.

"What were you trying to figure out Kyouya?"

"I wasn't trying to figure anything out. I was pausing to gather my thoughts," he replied.

"Is Tamaki gone yet," she asked.

"No he's still here, why do you ask," he said.

"Well I was hoping to go outside and enjoy this morning," she said.

"Well there is more than one way out of here," he said

He took her hand and cautiously headed out into the hallway. They quietly went downstairs and quickly slipped out the side door into the yard. Haruhi glanced behind her hoping to not see Tamaki following them. She let out a sigh of relief causing Kyouya to turn and look at her.

"It's nothing I was just checking to make sure we weren't being followed by Tamaki."

He nodded and kept walking. Haruhi was left to wonder where they were heading. When they reached a building that was a distance from the house she looked at him waiting to see what he was going to do next. He looked around to make sure that Tamaki was still in the house.

"Haruhi do you want to go somewhere to get away from here for a little while," he asked.

"Yes but Kyouya wouldn't the driver be out front," she asked.

"Yes if he was driving, but I'll be driving," he replied.

She nodded her head and he unlocked the door that led to the building. Inside was a cobalt blue Porsche Carrera. He opened the passenger door and waited for her to get in. She slid in and marveled at the sleekness of it. When he got into the driver's side and started the car he looked over at her and smiled. Haruhi noticed this and couldn't help to lean over and place a kiss on his cheek. He returned the kiss, opened the garage door, put the car in reverse, and started to back out. Just as they made it to the end of the driveway they noticed Tamaki was walking out the door. Haruhi looked at Kyouya nervously and said,

"Any way of avoiding him seeing us?"

"No we will drive right past him," Kyouya said with a hint of annoyance.

Haruhi slumped in her seat then straightened up.

"Well I guess now is a better time than never for him to realize what's going on," she said.

"How is he going to tell anything," Kyouya asked.

Haruhi looked him for a minute before answering.

"Kyouya normally if I would leave your house I would've been leaving with your driver not with you as the driver in your car at that."

"Wow I had a moment of something there. Usually I would've already realized that," he said.

He took her hand and asked,

"Are you really ready for him to find out?"

"Yes, it's better to just get it out into the open rather than hiding it for months and prolonging the eventual reaction," she said.

Kyouya smiled at her let go of her hand and started to drive again. They drove right past Tamaki who didn't realize who exactly was in the car until they were a ways past him. As soon as he realized who was in the car he ran to his car and started following them. Halfway down the road Kyouya looked in the rearview mirror and saw Tamaki driving like a maniac to keep up with them. He smirked and shook his head.

"He's right behind us isn't he," Haruhi said.

"Yes I plan to pull over at the park that's a few miles up the road here. That way he won't find out where we are really going. Oh and Haruhi you might want to call Ranka to inform him your whereabouts in my rush to leave I forgot to do so. I'll admit that this was a spur of the moment trip," he said.

"All right. This is going to be hard for him to accept isn't it," she asked.

"Yes I have a feeling it is," he said.

Kyouya's cell rang not to his surprise.

"Don't bother picking up it's probably Tamaki," he said.

Haruhi looked in the mirror and saw that Tamaki was attempting to call again while driving.

"Idiot," she muttered.

Kyouya laughed at that outburst and reached for her hand again. Haruhi smiled at the contact and looked out the window. She saw the park was up ahead and started to prepare her explanation to Tamaki. They pulled over and had barely got out of the car when Tamaki's car screeched to a halt behind them.

"WHAT IS GOING ON!!? MOTHER WHERE ARE YOU TAKING HARUHI AND WHY WASN'T DADDY INVITED," Tamaki yelled while getting out of the car.

"Tamaki-senpai, please calm down," Haruhi said.

"BUT WHERE IS HE TAKING YOU! IS HE FORCING YOU TO SOME TYPE OF HARD LABOR TO PAY OFF MORE OF YOUR DEBT," he yelled.

"Tamaki calm down right now. I'm doing no such thing. Haruhi and I are just going somewhere to spend some time together," Kyouya calmly explained.

"Oh well then if that's the explanation then…WAIT A MINUTE WHAT DO YOU MEAN 'SPEND SOME TIME TOGETHER,' Tamaki said.

"Tamaki-senpai, please calm down. Kyouya was just taking me somewhere so we can enjoy this beautiful weather," she said.

"Haruhi you left off the honorific…does this….no it couldn't…it doesn't….I…I WON'T ALLOW THIS," he yelled with a force that startled them both.

Haruhi took a step towards him and looked at him for a moment.

"Tamaki-senpai that is not your decision. As much as you probably would like to think that it is it's not. I've made my decision and I'm happy with Kyouya," she said stealing a glance towards Kyouya.

Kyouya just stood there calmly and let them continue, but with a slight smile.

"Haruhi, you can't possibly mean that. Kyouya can't possibly be making you happy…he's cold and calculating and…and…he's Kyouya," Tamaki said.

"Tamaki, we've been through this. I thought that I made my intention clear this morning. Apparently I wasn't clear enough. Tamaki I am interested in Haruhi in a romantic way," Kyouya said evenly with a glint in his eye.

Tamaki saw this and knew that it would be wise and to accept this news. He dropped his head in defeat and took a step back.

"Haruhi if this is what makes you happy then I will not interfere at all. I don't agree with it but I'll stay out of it."

Haruhi smiled walked over to Tamaki and gave him a hug. All he could do was halfheartedly hug back. He looked over at Kyouya and silently apologized for the earlier outbursts. Kyouya nodded his head and all was forgiven for now. Tamaki broke the hug, faked a smile, and bid them goodbye.

"I really must be off. I have some things to do," he said as he climbed into the car. He waved again as he was leaving and then he was gone. Haruhi turned to Kyouya and said,

"He's hurt isn't he?"

"Yes, a little but I know Tamaki and he meant every word," he said.

She looked at him for a moment before moving closer and wrapping her arms around him. He was startled for a moment but then recovered and pulled her a little closer to him. She sighed and said,

"Telling the others isn't going to be any easier is it Kyouya?"

"Well I have a suspicion that Mori-senpai and Hani-senpai will accept this easily. The twins however are another story. I don't think we will have to worry about Kaoru reacting negatively it's Hikaru that I'm sure will react negatively," he replied.

"I agree although I'm sure in time everyone will learn to accept it," she said.

"Haruhi are you ready to leave here and find out where I'm taking you," he asked.

"OH! I almost forgot that we were going somewhere," she said with a laugh.

As they got back in the car Haruhi looked at Kyouya and thought about her decision. 'He may be calculating, but he's not cold,' she thought. He looked over at her when he realized that she was staring.

"What is it," he asked.

"It's nothing I was just thinking," she replied.

"About what," he asked.

"Nothing really," she said.

"So nothing involves staring at me," he asked.

"Well um…no I was just thinking about Tamaki's comment about how you are cold and I disagree. I do agree that you are calculating but that's always to your advantage. When you are calculating it always insures your success and I actually find that part of you endearing," she said.

"I didn't think that being calculating was endearing, but I won't argue," he said.

She smiled and leaned over to kiss him. He wasn't prepared for this and was starting to say something but was abruptly cut off. When she broke the kiss she found herself being pulled back for another. Kyouya broke that kiss and stated that they should really be on their way. As they pulled away they didn't realize that Tamaki really hadn't left the park at all and was still nearby. As they pulled away all Tamaki could do was simply whisper,

"Why him Haruhi?"
