KRRR: So this one is based to the song "Cry" by Kelly Clarkson….hope you like it! The italicized parts are Marie's POV….in a way.
Hikaru watched Marie as she slipped into class Friday morning. The girl looked tired, disheveled, and utterly vulnerable. He wondered what happened, but class started before he had had a chance.
Marie hoped no one would notice. Even if they did, she would just tell them that Kyouya and she grew apart. There was no need to alarm anyone, especially Honey or Tamaki. Hopefully, Marie would be able to skip club activities and sitting with Tamaki at lunch. The latter part was successful, however, the Twins dragged her into the club room before she could protest.
"Marie. Marie, come on."
"No. No I don't think I'll come out. I have a lot of homework to do, okay?"
"But-!"
"Leave her alone, you two. You have work to do." Kyouya said.
Sighing, Hikaru and Kaoru made their way over to their couch and began their duties. About half- way through clubbing activities, Marie emerged from back room and made her way towards the door.
"I heard that she and Kyouya-sama broke up."
"Really? Why?"
"Well….rumor has it that she wouldn't put out. Which I think is a total lie. I think she put out more than necessary if you know what I mean."
Marie slammed the door and ran. She didn't care that those girls gossiped, but they were completely wrong. Kyouya had gotten angry and almost did something that she knew (hoped) he would regret. She had ran out of his house after promptly dumping him and hadn't cried no matter how much it had hurt. She hadn't expected anyone to follow her so she was shocked when a hand grabbed her wrist.
"Marie. Were they right?"
"W-what?"
"About you and Kyouya. Were they right?"
Hikaru saw Marie's hesitation before she replied,
"Yes and no. We broke up. But sex wasn't a factor."
"I see. Do you miss him?"
"Yes."
Hikaru saw the tears well up in Marie's eyes. Gently, he embraced the girl, noticing how petite she really was.
"It's okay." he whispered.
Marie sobbed into Hikaru's shoulder for what seemed like hours. At some point, before a fresh wave of tears approached, Marie looked up at Hikaru and asked,
"Is this what it feels like?"
"What?"
"To cry. To really cry."
And with that, the tears resurged.
Hikaru smiled softly at the girl sleeping in his arms. He knew, that with a little time and love, she would mend.
