Chapter 11
A/N: I'd like to thank isara-love for giving me the idea for this chapter! Hope you all enjoy it!
"Kyoya, why are we here?" Haruhi fidgeted with the hem of her fancy dress, feeling out of place as she looked around the six star restaurant.
That's right. It wasn't even five star. It was six star.
Kyoya looked up from the menu. "Why? I thought you'd like this place. It's one of the best restaurants in Tokyo." He raised an eyebrow, which was the subtle Ootori way of saying: This isn't going as planned, I must come up with a better strategy quickly.
Haruhi sighed and put her napkin on the table. "You know I don't like these fancy places…. I'm not even sure if I'm sitting properly, or if I'm dressed right."
Kyoya chuckled. "Wow, Haruhi Fujioka is actually worried about how she looks," he teased, earning a stern glare from the girl. "Don't worry, you're beautiful."
Haruhi looked down, feeling heat coming to her cheeks. "Still, is this your idea of fun?" she asked bluntly.
Kyoya folded his arms on the table. "I don't ever have time for 'fun', Haruhi, so I don't know," he admitted. "What's your idea of fun?"
"Well..." Haruhi tilted her head and put her finger on her chin, completely unaware of how innocent she looked to Kyoya. "I've always thought a walk in the park would be nice," she mused. "When I was younger, my mother used to always take me outside to talk about the plants and animals, she'd always say that nature was the one way to relax." The girl's eyes seemed distant and sad, as if in a dream, yet unusually happy as well.
Kyoya got up at once. "Wait, where are you going?" Haruhi questioned.
The boy smiled at her and held his hand out to her, with his hosting charm. "To take my lovely girlfriend out on a date she'll never forget," he responded with emotion-something that was rare for him to ever show.
Haruhi seemed confused. "But what about dinner? Is it okay for us to go wearing this?" she gestured to her flowing dress. The only response she got was Kyoya pulling her out of her seat and marching them out of the restaurant. "But Kyoya," Haruhi continued, "you do realize how dark it is outside, right?"
Kyoya smirked, covered Haruhi's mouth with his hand before she could say anything more. "Do you mistake me for Tamaki?" Haruhi stared at Kyoya, waiting for release. "Good." Kyoya took his hand off her mouth and headed out the door, and Haruhi clumsily followed, tripping on her heels.

The couple reached the park, and they walked together in the moonlight, enjoying each other's company in the silence.
"Do you like doing this, Haruhi?" Kyoya broke the comfortable silence.
Haruhi entwined her fingers with his. 'Mm, hmm, much better."
Kyoya looked up at the bright stars, a faint smile adorning his face. "Yes, I'll admit this is nice," Kyoya replied, bringing them to a bench.
A thought floated through Haruhi's mind, and she blushed, enough for Kyoya to see in the darkness. "What are you thinking about?" he asked, feeling curious.
Haruhi pretended to look clueless. "Huh? I'm not thinking of anything…" she mumbled in a failed attempt of lying.
Kyoya scrutinized her face. "You know you're a horrible liar."
Haruhi sighed, giving in. "Okay, I was just thinking about how, well, handsome you look when you smile," she looked down, smoothing out her dress. "Wipe that smirk off you're face, Ootori," she muttered after a few seconds, picturing his smug expression as she was too embarrassed to look at him.
Instead of a witty comment that Haruhi expected from the boy, a hand lifted up her chin, and her eyes were met with a burning pair of onyx colored ones, that almost looked… hungry. Kyoya leaned his face close to the girl's, so close that she could feel his breath on her face. "Oh, Haruhi, you never fail to amuse me." Haruhi gave him a questioning look as he continued, "You say that I have a nice smile, you when you fail to realize that your smile is beyond any beauty I've seen."
Haruhi, who was still blushing, grinned. "Wow, is Kyoya Ootori being romantic? And poetic?"
"Frankly, yes," Kyoya simply stated, and he pressed his lips to hers, under the stars in the moonlight, in the middle of what some would call a 'commoner park'.
It was a million times better than any who-gives-a-damn star restaurant, that was for sure.
A/N: Oh gosh, this came out waaay more cheesy and cliché than what I expected it to be XD Oops, sorry… ^^'
