The funeral had been a tournament of courage and will power. It was a struggle for the Lawrence family to hold their tongue every time the pressed asked how they were doing or what they were feeling. Rose had gotten through it by being steered away from the paparazzi by Kyoya's strong hand guiding her away from the flashing lights. Eventually, someone asked her who he was to her. Kyoya sternly said that he was classmate and that they somewhere they needed to be. He rushed her off to her grandfather's home where they spent the rest of the day introducing Kyoya to the rest of the family.

"That was a long day." Rose said when she emerged from her room in a pair of shorts and a tank top ready to go to bed. Kyoya hummed his agreement and looked up from his newspaper. "Thanks for coming by the way."

"It wasn't a problem. You needed me here." Kyoya told her as he laid the paper on the coffee table. Rose sat down on the sofa and threw her legs over Kyoya's.

"And you got along great with the possible future in-laws. They all love you. Congrats." Rose said with a small grin. "My grandmother thinks I should wear a ring so no one will try to get between us." Rose winked at him. Kyoya ran a hand down up and down her leg.

"Do you want to?" He asked her. Rose blinked at him. Her heart beat quickened. Was he serious? She knew he would be willing to marry her for her name and was pretty sure he liked her, thanks to that kiss in the park.

"If you want me to." She replied, sending the ball back into his court. Kyoya's hand ran up her leg, past her knee. She could see the gears in his head turning.

"Alright then. I'll get you a ring." Kyoya said. Rose pulled at the gold chain around her neck and pulled out a diamond ring.

"Don't worry, I rescued my grandmother's ring from my mom's stuff." She told him, showing him the gorgeous ring. She took it off the chain and put in on her left ring finger. "There, this means I'm yours." She wagged her fingers at him. Kyoya caught her wagging fingers and kissed her palm.

"Mine?" He asked her, leaning over her.

"Yours, for now." She told him with a grin.

"For now?" He asked, moving closer.

"Yes, you have to prove you're interesting enough to stick around." She told him. "Or I might lose interest." Kyoya moved his face closer to her, leaning in to kiss her.

"Oh I am interesting enough for you to want me to stick around." He told her before closing the distance and kissing her softly on the lips. Rose wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer.

"Is that so?" She asked him when they pulled apart. "I think I need more data on that." She said and pulled him down into another kiss. She could feel his tongue licking at her lips asking for entrance and she opened her mouth to him. Rose snuck a hand under his shirt and touched his taunt stomach. Rose felt his hands on her body, roaming up from her hips to his hand cupping her breast. Rose wound her hands around him and scratched his back with her long pink nails. It wasn't enough to make him bleed and the other boy let out a moan. He ground his hips into her, making Rose moan herself. Eventually, Kyoya pulled away to catch his breath.

"Rose..." He moaned. He was hopelessly lost in her scent, her taste, the feel of her smooth skin and soft breast under his hands. "Rose." He groaned again and sucked on her neck, marking her. Never had he ever lost control like this with someone. He was thrilled and a little frightened at the same time. Rose moaned then groaned when she heard the others walking down the hall to her room.

"Damn it...Kyoya, someone's coming." She said, trying to push him off of her. Kyoya moved away, pulling down his shirt and smoothing back his hair. In a moment he had his mask back on. Rose pulled her shirt back into place when her brother walked into the room.

"Hey we're going to-" Zero looked at his sister and pointed to her neck. "What the hell is that?" He asked her in English, pointing to her neck. Rose rubbed her neck and glared at Kyoya.

"Good job Kyoya! You left a...uh hicky on my neck." She told him, not knowing the Japanese word for it.

"A what?" He asked and Rose pointed to her neck. Kyoya grinned.

"We're going to the bar." Zero said with a glare at Kyoya. He turned to his sister and added with a smile. "Do you want to join us?"

"Let me change." Rose told him and shooed everyone out of the room. When she emerged again a few minutes later she was wearing a short purple halter dress that clung to her body and showed most of her naked back. She walked past the group and Kyoya's eyes followed her earning a punch on the arm from Zero.

"Don't stare at my sister." He warned him.

"I can stare at my fiance all I want." He retorted. Rose turned to look at Haruhi, who they had procured a passport for at the last minute.

"You can't go to a bar dressed like that Haruhi." She told her. She steered her into her bedroom and dressed her in a black sequin mini dress and did her makeup, cute pink glossy lips and smoky eye shadow.

"Cute dress!" Hikaru and Kaoru gave the thumbs up and Tamaki was practically drooling. Haruhi just shrugged and the Host Club was off to the bar.

"Are you sure?" Haruhi asked the Lawrence twins as they approached the bar, which was more of a night club.

"Totally. We know the owner and the place is pretty clean. It's not like there's people doing lines of coke off the back of the toilets in the bathroom or sex or anything. We can leave if you feel uncomfortable." Zero reassured her as Rose went up to the bouncer and spoke to him in Italian.

The dance floor was moderately crowded but the group was escorted to a booth above the dance floor. Rose ordered two bottles of champagne and handed the waitress a small wad of Euros. The woman returned with nine glasses and two bottles.

Rose and Tamaki drank more than the others. The girl happily declared that she was going to drink to the demise of her evil mother. She threw her arms in the air, her diamond ring glittering the flashing lights and "The evil bitch is dead!". She laughed until she cried, holding onto Kyoya for dear life.

"Drink!" She told Kyoya, filling his glass for the second time. "No one cares if you drink here." She told him as he took a sip. Zero and Hikaru disappeared onto the dance floor. Soon after Rose was pulling Kyoya with her.

"I don't dance." He told her. "Not to this." He said as "Bad Romance" blared over the sound system. Rose pouted at him. He knew that even a drunk Rose could dance twice as well as Kyoya ever could sober.

"Fine, I'll find someone else." She told him and turned away from him to find a tall man in his twenties willing and eager to dance with her. Kyoya watched him pull her close and she continued to dance, not minding the proximity at all or that the man was obviously turned on. Glaring at the man, Kyoya pulled her away as bass pumped.

"I don't want to be friends. No, I don't want to be friends. I don't want to be friends. Want your bad romance. Want you bad romance! I want your loving, I want your revenge. You and me could write a bad romance." Rose sang the words as she danced against him. She threw her head back, her blonde hair swinging in a wide arch, giving Kyoya a great view of the love mark he had giving her. He put one hand behind her head and pulled her into a fierce kiss as the song swelled and ended. Nearly everyone with a camera on their phone (including Kaoru) took a picture of the couple. Rose broke away, grinning at him like a Cheshire cat. Kyoya pulled her to him as the next song played.

"What are you doing to me Rose?" Kyoya asked her. He had never desired someone so much and the fact that she was all his made his desire for her stronger.

"You're doing that yourself." She whispered back and bit down gently on his earlobe. "You don't want to know what would happen when I really go after you. Or at least you don't want to right now." She kissed his cheek and moved off the dance floor. He watched her hip sway as he moved towards the VIP section and followed her.

"I'm ready to go. It's past midnight." Kaoru told them, Mori and Honey both nodded their agreement. "Nice dance moves by the way." Kaoru said with a wink.

"Jealous much?" Rose teased him back. "I'll go get the others."

The group walked back to the villa, Kyoya noticed that Rose was walking in heels on cobble stone awfully well for someone who was drunk.

"How well does your sister hold her alcohol?" He asked Zero.

"Champagne doesn't really get her drunk. She'd have to have a lot of it. That's why she chose it tonight." Zero told him. So Kyoya couldn't pass that kiss off as her being drunk but both of them were at least a little tipsy. Not enough to write off that kiss as drunken stupidity.

"Did you have fun Haruhi?" Rose asked her friend.

"Yeah, I did. Thanks." Haruhi replied making Tamaki brighten up since they had spent most of the night dancing together.

The next morning the group's breakfast was interrupted by a very angry Jack barging into the dining room with an angry scowl on his face.

"Of all the stupid shit you could have done last night Rosabella, this has to be at the top of the list!" Jack told her in English and threw a small stack of tabloids onto the table. On the cover of each of them was a picture of Rose and Kyoya kissing though Kyoya's face was obscured by the shadows on the dance floor. Her diamond engagement ring was glittering was visible and even some of them had enlarged it in a side shot. The headlines read everything from "Rose Lawrence Partying the Night of Her Mother's funeral" to "Rose engaged after mother's funeral?" or "Rose Makes Drunken Spectacle after Mother's Funeral" and "Rose and Zero Lawrence Say Goodbye With Friends.". The last one confused her a bit.

"Fuck my life." Rose said with despair.
