Chapter 10
"Haruhi, time to wake up," Kyoya nudged her. She was laid out on his lap, and Kyoya hadn't the heart to wake her until all of the gifts were inside. She groaned, as she stretched and sat up. Rubbing her eyes she looked at him questioningly. "We're home, you can go back to sleep when you get inside." Haruhi nodded and let Kyoya help her out of the limo.
Kyoya helped her up the stairs and into her room. Ranka was already home, but seeing Haruhi stumbling in, he decided to let Kyoya lead her to her room. Coming back out, Kyoya sat down while Ranka was looking at the gifts. "These are really beautiful gifts. Did she enjoy the beach?"
"Of course. We had a wonderful time. Here are the pictures," Kyoya answered.
Ranka squealed as he sat down next to Kyoya and saw the photos that they took. Ranka started to blush, feeling like he was looking at a private moment. The pictures were beautiful though and the sunset made it even more romantic. "This is just…so romantic!"
"I'm glad they came out right. I was afraid the lighting might not have made them come out right. Also Ranka…tomorrow is the day I speak with my father. Haruhi isn't going, but Tamaki is going to spend the day with her. I just…I don't want her to be alone, but I don't want her to be there with me. My dad, while he is able to hold his tongue and hand most times in public, might not know how to do so in private," Kyoya answered as he looked at Ranka seriously.
Ranka sighed, he really felt for the teen. He understood facing people with different values, after all, Kotoko came from a decently wealthy family and they had disowned her when the couple had decided to get married. "Kyoya let me tell you about my own marriage to Kotoko, Haruhi's mother. When she and I met, it was coincidental. She had been working on a case that I ended up being a witness to, and afterwards I ended up following her around at night to protect her from a person enraged by the outcome of the trial. She found me annoying at first, but eventually we fell in love. We were married pretty soon after, but by then Haruhi was already on the way. Kotoko was just one month pregnant when she told her family and they disowned her. Although she was a successful lawyer by then and didn't need the help of her family, she took it pretty hard. However, once Haruhi was born Kotoko never looked back. She always told me that by the end of the day she never regretted marrying me and having Haruhi. My hope for you is that it will be the same, even if you are younger than Kotoko or me when we went through something similar." Ranka patted Kyoya on the back and smiled. He hadn't even told Haruhi the whole story, but now that they were in a similar situation, Ranka felt that now was the time to do so.
Kyoya sat there, a little in shock. He had researched Haruhi's family situation a little when she came to join the Host Club, but he had never known that. Perhaps he had glanced at the dates, but had found them irrelevant or never put two and two together. Kyoya looked at Ranka, he felt like he could learn a lot from this man, "Thank you for telling me that."
Ranka nodded, "No problem. Anyway, look at the time! I better go get ready for work. You're still going to be here tonight though, right?"
"Yes."
"Good, because it looks like rain tonight…" Ranka mumbled before walking into his room to go get ready. Within the next hour Ranka was walking out the door looking ready for a night out. Once Ranka had left Kyoya stretched out on the floor and looked at the gifts towering in the corner. While everything was slowly beginning to feel more real to him, there were times that he had a hard time processing how soon his child would be there. Not to mention, he was going to be a dad! He was so afraid that he might end up being like his father, and he didn't want that. However, Kyoya thought to himself, I doubt Haruhi would let me be like that. Especially knowing that I didn't like the way my dad raised me… He smiled to himself, Haruhi was the perfect balance. If he was being too strict, he knew that Haruhi wouldn't be afraid to call him out on it.
"Kyoya?" Haruhi whispered softly as she walked out of the room. She searched the room and spotted him on the floor, "Silly, what are you doing lying on the floor like that?" She lowered herself to the floor and looked at him.
"Just thinking to myself…did you sleep well?"
"Yes. Tell me, what were you thinking about," Haruhi asked him, it was rare for Kyoya to look this vulnerable. It was a side that she liked seeing, because sometimes she felt he played it too cool. The cool type seemed to worsen when she got pregnant. Haruhi knew he didn't want to worry her and stress her out, but she couldn't help worry about his own well being.
"I…I was thinking about our child, family, and my dad. I'm telling my dad tomorrow…I'm afraid to tell my dad, and I'm afraid of being a father… but I also know that you wouldn't let me be a bad dad either. It is starting to become real…" Kyoya answered, looking at her.
Haruhi smiled before leaning down and kissing him. "You're damn right I won't let you be a bad dad! I know…it does feel surreal… I'm the one carrying this child and yet every day I need to remind myself that this is real." Kyoya sat up a bit and looked at Haruhi; it was reassuring to hear that she was feeling a little bit of the same thing. Leaning over, he kissed her again. This strong woman was the one he chose, not for wealth or for gain, but for love. Also, out of all the Host men, she had chosen him. He was the one who didn't make her life easy, always threatening to add to her debt; the one that made it clear that he would only do things for merit. Kyoya snaked his arms around her waist and pulled her closer to him. She sighed happily as his mouth left her lips and slowly made a trail to her neck. Haruhi's hands moved from around his back and into his hair. She gently tugged on it while pulling him away from her, "Let's go into the bedroom. If we pass out naked in the living room after I might die of embarrassment."
Kyoya smiled as he picked her up, "Your wish is my command princess." Haruhi wrapped her legs around him as he kissed her neck. She already felt his hardness rubbing against her inner thigh. She sighed as Kyoya laid her out onto the bed before going to lock the door. He lay next to her and traced circles on her body, moving from her lips to her belly button. Haruhi arched into his touch and shivered; she felt like her body was on fire. She couldn't take the teasing anymore and removed his hand from her body. She rolled on top of him and kissed him before unzipping his pants. Her hand brushed his length lazily through his boxers. Kyoya groaned and moved his hips upwards, wanting her to continue.
However, Haruhi decided to take her time. She lifted her dress off of her and ran her hands up and down her bare body as she grinded her hips against him. Kyoya moved one hand to her hip and snaked the other one around the back of her neck so he could pull her down to him. "You're being such a tease Haruhi," Kyoya growled out.
Haruhi only smiled as she kissed him. Kyoya sighed happily, feeling Haruhi's hand pull his shirt up as she continued to move her hips, which created friction between the two of them. Kyoya leaned forward just enough to allow Haruhi to pull the shirt off and watched her fling it to the other side of the room. Haruhi had stopped grinding her hips then. She leaned in, kissed his forehead, and slowly started the descent down to his waist. When she got to his boxers, she smiled up at Kyoya as she moved them down his hips and legs slowly. She flung those to the same area that his shirt resided before kissing him from his feet back up to his manhood. Haruhi took her hand and squeezed him gently as she licked the head of his penis. Kyoya moaned then, as he watched her slowly engulf him with her mouth after every light squeeze. Soon her hand wasn't even on him and she was rhythmically going up and down with her mouth. Kyoya arched his hips up, reveling in the sensations Haruhi was giving him. Haruhi moaned slightly, allowing the vibrations of her voice heighten his sensation. Haruhi then took her hand and grabbed his free one, directing them towards her panties.
Kyoya understood and ran a finger lazily at her entrance through her panties. He smiled as he felt the wetness already forming there before brushing the material aside and plunging into her. She groaned as she felt Kyoya inside her, switching between curling his fingers and pumping them in and out of her. It wasn't until Kyoya felt the now familiar feeling of her walls tightening and felt his own orgasm coming that he stopped, "Haruhi…"
Haruhi groaned in frustration, stopped her ministrations and removed herself from him. Sitting up, she allowed him to remove her panties before she slowly impaled herself onto him. Once he was inside her, Kyoya started to move from underneath her. She leaned forward with a moan, enjoying the feel of him moving into her from beneath her. Kyoya pulled her close to him and rolled over on top of her, switching positions. He picked up the pace and kissed her again. It wasn't long before they both felt the feeling of them both start to climb together to their orgasm. Kyoya slowed then, allowing them to calm a bit before picking up the pace again. This time, he moved his hips in a circular motion, attempting to hit every side of her inner walls. Haruhi moaned and arched her hips up to him, trying to find her release. Kyoya then picked up the pace again, thrusting as fast as he could, trying to meet both of their demands for release. Haruhi arched her hips up to meet his, and soon they both collapsed together, riding out their own orgasms.
Haruhi panted as she moved Kyoya out of her and lay next to him. She nuzzled into his chest as he pulled the blanket around them. "I love you Kyoya."
"I love you too Haruhi, and nothing will change that," Kyoya answered her as he yawned, as he fell asleep.
Kyoya awoke to his phone ringing the next morning. Untangling himself from Haruhi he rolled over and turned it off before lying back down onto the bed. "Kyoya…" Haruhi mumbled sleepily. Kyoya smiled warmly at her, taking in her beautiful form that was curled against his side before leaning over and kissing her head.
"I need to get up princess. I'm required to be home by noon, and God forbid I'm late," he whispered. Haruhi mumbled something incoherent and rolled over. Kyoya smiled, glad that she was able to sleep through him getting up. He moved the pillows around her in a way that she wouldn't notice the warmth missing too soon. Standing up, Kyoya grabbed his clothes and made way for the shower, making sure to send a quick text to Tamaki.
Kyoya didn't make an attempt to rush through getting ready. He took a shower, got dressed, and ate a bit before he was ready to go. It felt all too quick for him, but by the time he was ready to go, Tamaki was there. Kyoya opened the door for him, "Hey Tamaki."
"Hi. So…you're really going to go through with this?" Tamaki asked as he came inside and took off his shoes.
"I have no choice. I can't just live two different lives, that isn't how the world works. Haruhi is sleeping, please don't disturb her. She probably will be asleep for the next hour or so. Call me in case of an emergency. Please take care of her," Kyoya answered as he slipped on his shoes. He couldn't waste anymore time, it was already nine and he needed to make it look like he had been home for a bit.
"She will be safe. You have my word mon ami," Tamaki replied as Kyoya gave him one last look before slipping out. Tamaki then locked the door and made his way into the living room. If Haruhi was still sleeping, he might as well just catch up on some last minute summer homework. However, that plan was shot when he heard Haruhi moving around in the bedroom. "Haruhi?"
Tamaki moved closer to the door and thought he heard crying. Nudging the door open, he saw Haruhi's back turned away from him and saw her shoulders shaking. "Haruhi?" Tamaki asked again. Haruhi didn't budge though so Tamaki moved closer and gently tapped her shoulder. Haruhi rolled over and Tamaki saw the tears. "Haruhi, why are you crying?"
Haruhi didn't answer him and finally he just pulled her onto his lap. He stroked her back, "Haruhi, are you worried about Kyoya?" Haruhi nodded her head, but still didn't answer him. Tamaki held her close, "Don't worry about him right now. He'll return home later. Until then, I'll be around okay?"
Haruhi wiped her eyes and moved away from him slightly. It was only then that Tamaki noticed that under that sheet, Haruhi was naked. Blushing he jumped off the bed and started to stammer, "So…I'll be just outside when you're ready to do something." With that, he ran out of the room and sat back down. He tried to not just think about the situation he put himself in, and not only that, but he tried also not to think about how Haruhi got to be naked in the first place. Tamaki stared at the table for a few minutes before Haruhi walked out blushing.
"I didn't mean for you to see that. I'm sorry Tamaki-senpai…thanks for comforting me though," Haruhi answered as she sat down next to him. He had tried to comfort her after all; it wasn't his fault that she hadn't thought to redress after her night with Kyoya.
Tamaki blushed but nodded, "You're welcome. So what do you want to do today?"
"Well, I would like to take a shower, but after I really just want to take it easy. I…I would like to be home when Kyoya gets back if that's possible. He left without saying goodbye…and it nerves me a bit," Haruhi answered, her voice cracking a bit.
Tamaki placed an arm around her and pulled her to him, "He didn't say goodbye because he knew you'd be worried. You will see him, but right now Kyoya decided to fight it out alone. You just need to think about today and what you are going to do." He patted her back as he held her.
Haruhi nodded and scooted away from him, "I think…I would like to go to the park today."
"The park? Of course we can go to the park Haruhi! We can run to my house and get Antoinette and then we can all go. We can also have a picnic! Does that sound like fun Haruhi?" Tamaki asked her.
Haruhi nodded, standing up, "I'm going to go take a shower, after that I guess I'll prepare some food and then we'll go?"
"Or I could have my cooks make a bento, that way we don't have to and can go sooner."
Haruhi pondered it for a second, "Alright. That would probably be more convenient. I'm going to go get in the shower…" Haruhi gave Tamaki one last look before going to the bedroom, grabbed her clothes, and then locked herself in the bathroom. Tamaki decided to make himself comfortable and called his staff, making sure that Antoinette would be ready and that bentos would be made for the two of them. After the call he closed his eyes and just thought about his two friends. He still sometimes found it weird that the two of them were going to be parents, and he worried about their child. Being a child from illegitimate circumstances himself, he knew that it wasn't easy. People are going to constantly judge them as parents and the child will need to be strong to hear the constant critiquing of others. Tamaki shivered, he knew all of this too well.
"Tamaki-senpai?" Haruhi asked as she walked out of the bathroom dressed and ready for the day.
"Yes?" Tamaki asked, snapping out of his own thoughts.
"I'm ready to go. Are you ready to go?" Haruhi asked as she straightened out her yellow dress.
Tamaki nodded, stood up, and linked arms with her, "Let's go!" He led her out of the apartment and into the waiting limo. Tamaki instructed the driver to go back to the Suoh mansion to retrieve their lunches and Antoinette. The drive didn't take long, and before they knew it they were at the park. They leisurely strolled through the walkways as others passed them by. For once, Antoinette was behaving for them, so they didn't have to run to keep up with her. They passed the little ponds and took in the beauty of nature all around them. However, it wasn't long till hunger got the best of them. Tamaki and Haruhi decided to settle down near a playground under a tree to eat the bento lunches that the chef had prepared. Tamaki threw down a blanket and tied Antoinette to the tree while Haruhi set out the lunch. When they sat down, Haruhi and Tamaki started to eat quietly, just enjoying each other's company.
When they had finished, Haruhi laid back onto the blanket and then looked at the playground. She moved her hands to her stomach, "In just a few years…I will have a child that I can take to the park."
Tamaki smiled at her, "Haruhi, may I ask you something?"
"Hmm…?" She answered as she continued to watch the kids play.
"How do you feel about all of this?" Tamaki asked.
Haruhi rolled onto her side and looked at him seriously, "I'm not quite sure what you're asking."
"I…I mean, obviously you love Kyoya and he loves you-and that both of you are going to raise this child together. I just mean, what is your take on what is about to happen. You're both going to be parents; you're going to start a life together. Just, is there anything that doesn't feel right?" Tamaki asked, wincing slightly at his wording. "I-I…"
Haruhi switched back onto her back before answering, "I love Kyoya, and this child that I have yet to meet face to face I love too. However, I feel like I am really young to be taking on all of these responsibilities. I am a teenage mother and I did make a very stupid mistake when I forgot to take my birth control. I wish that this could've happened later, but it's happening now and now is the time I have to deal with it." She rubbed her stomach as she thought a bit more, "I know Kyoya's dad may disown him. I know he's attempted to keep things like this from me-especially since he doesn't want to stress me out. However, I'm not stupid, and I know that he's terrified. I'm terrified to see Kyoya after he faces his father. I'm afraid that his father will convince him to leave me. I'm afraid that if he does decide to come back, that he will resent me for wanting to keep this child."
Haruhi curled up into a mini ball and Tamaki frowned. He hadn't meant to make her upset. Tamaki laid down next to her and pulled her to him, "Haruhi…I didn't mean to make you upset. I hope you know that Kyoya would never abandon you or this child. You are the only person that Kyoya has deemed worthy to be his lover and partner for life-regardless of what his family thinks. You are the most special person in his life." Tamaki hugged her close, hoping that Haruhi would see the logic in his words.
Haruhi relaxed again, hearing the words that she needed to hear. Once she relaxed, they repositioned themselves. They both laid face up on the blanket and soaked up the sun. Then, Tamaki's phone rang. Tamaki lazily stretched and reached out for his phone before answering it, "Hello?"
"Tamaki, it's me. I'm…I'm heading back to the apartment," Kyoya answered in an even voice.
"Is everything okay?" Tamaki asked as he sat up.
"Everything will be. Can you keep Haruhi out of the apartment for a bit longer? I have a few things I need to sort out before I see her again. Just…if you're out, take her to your house. I can't explain in detail, but once my dad talks to a few people today things might get a little out of hand. Please, just stay inside and I'll contact you later," Kyoya replied before hanging up.
Tamaki tried to act normal as he started to collect their items, "Haruhi, let's go back to my place and watch a movie? I just got this new movie that I've been meaning to watch and I think you'll like it."
"Was that Kyoya?" Haruhi asked as she rolled into a sitting position.
"Yeah…he's headed back to the apartment, but he wants us to stay out a bit longer. I wouldn't worry too much, but we should probably just do what he wants," Tamaki told her as he stood up and offered her his hand. Haruhi took it and stood up slowly, before they headed to the waiting limo nearby. As she climbed in, Haruhi started to wonder what Kyoya could possibly be up to. Tamaki gathered everything from the grass, threw away the trash, and then took Haruhi's hand, "Don't worry Haruhi. Kyoya has things under control. You can always count on him to have it together."
Haruhi nodded, but didn't feel relaxed by his words. Her fears were still very present in her mind, but she also clung to what Tamaki said to her. She needed to be able to trust that Tamaki knew what he was talking about when it came to Kyoya, for he too had been one of the few to get close to Kyoya. She just couldn't wait for this ordeal to be over. Suddenly, Tamaki nudged her out of her thoughts, "Haruhi? We're at my house. Let's enjoy a movie or do you want to rest? You look tired…"
Haruhi didn't want to be alone, but she was tired. "Is it…is it possible to watch the movie and lay down? I am tired, but I don't want to be alone…" Haruhi's face went red, this was the first time that she had ever admitted that she didn't like being alone.
Tamaki looked at her and smiled, "Of course! The guest rooms are all set up with televisions. We can watch a movie and if you want to, you can sleep."
Haruhi smiled thankfully as they climbed out of the limo and went into the house. Tamaki had drinks sent to the guest room before leading Haruhi to the guest room. Haruhi immediately made herself comfortable under the covers as Tamaki left to go grab the movie. A servant came in and placed the drinks of lemonade on the nightstands that were on either side of the bed. Once the servant left, Tamaki came back and put the movie on. Haruhi barely made it through the beginning before falling asleep.
Just when the movie credits started to roll, Tamaki's cell phone rang. He reached over and picked it up, "Hello?"
"Tamaki…how is Haruhi?" Kyoya answered.
"She is fine, just sleeping. The more important question is are you okay?" Tamaki asked quietly as he got off the bed and exited the room.
The other line was quiet for a second, "I'm going to be fine. I just had a lot to deal with. Tamaki, is it possible for me to come over? Things are just…they're getting crazy."
"Of course you can, I'll see you soon." Tamaki hung up, checked on Haruhi, and then went into his room. He wondered what was happening, but decided to just wait on Kyoya to tell him. After all, the media had a way of exaggerating and getting the facts wrong in this situation.
To Be Continued…
