Chapter 14-Feelings

I don't know how long we just laid there in bed. It must've been at least twenty minutes before I lifted my head though. When I did I was met with a calmed face and a soft smile. I tried to smile best I could but I'm afraid it didn't come out very confining considering Kyoya frowned afterwards.

"It'll take more than this to heal what they've done to you Tenshi. You don't have to pretend anymore",he said. I nodded and before I could, he reached a hand up and wiped my tears away. As the wetness left I felt my eyes become sore from the amount of tears I had shed that day. His palm then held my cheek in it and I raised my eyes to his. I knew this was the beginning of a big turning point in my life...and in our relationship.

"Kyo...",I said softly, voice slightly cracked. His lips lifted slightly in a small smile and he pulled my face to his and pressed a soft kiss to my lips. I felt my face heat up but didn't dare look away from his eyes. Once it was over he looked back up to my eyes and I saw emotion swirling in those dark eyes. Emotion I didn't at once think he could have without it being dark and twisted.

"I'm by your side from now on",he said, smiling sweetly at me now. I felt my stomach start flipping and smiled, a bit more convincing this time.

"Promise me",I said. I just needed to hear it. even if I already knew what he said was true...my mind just needed that reassurance that nothing would happen because he was with me now.

"I swear Tenshi that I wont leave you or let them near you every again",Kyoya promised with a serious look in those eyes now. I hugged him tight after that and felt his arms wrap back around me in the same gesture.

I felt so contained and safe now. I knew nothing bad would happen to me anymore. Nothing was going to separate us. My parents were going to be gone from my life forever now. I actually felt a small twinge of hurt enter my system at that thought. I guess no matter how badly your treated my family you still have that feeling of family from them. They were all I had left as far as I knew. I never had relatives except when I was younger, they all stopped visiting when I was sent to Paris. So I was on my own, but with friends and a boyfriend to help me along the way.

"Sleep Tenshi, it's still late",Kyoya said after our brief silence. I hadn't really been paying attention to the time until he said something. It had to be at least ten or even later. I lifted my head to look at the clock I knew was on the night stand and sure enough it was after ten already. I looked back at Kyoya and gave a small smile before a yawn escaped my mouth. I blushed and he just smiled at me. I rested my head back on his chest and cuddled before closing my eyes, hoping to get that peace I so wanted now. I deserved it now.

Kyoya's POV

After Tenshi laid her head down I felt her breathing get slower until I knew she was fast asleep. I ran my fingers through her hair to keep her this way. Not crying or screaming for help, but peaceful and cute. I was briefly wondering if she understood what our relationship was exactly now. I had it in my mind even before now that she was mine, but did she see it that way now? She didn't pull away from my kiss, so I know that means she excepts the change.

I changed my thoughts of her to those wretched parents. I don't know when they'll notice shes gone but a part of me wishes they never do notice. As bad as that sounds, it would actually be easier for her. No conflict of trying to get her back, no court dates to attend, no police to deal with. But somehow I knew this wouldn't be easy for us...for her.

"Kyoya...",I heard Tamaki's voice from the door. I looked over and saw him leaning against it, towel around his shoulders and shirt off. Obviously he had taken a shower.

"Tamaki",I said. He crept in quietly and shut the door so light wouldn't come in. He came over and sat on the end of the bed, just gazing at Tenshi with sad eyes.

"She's finally at peace",he said. I arched an eyebrow and he continued."Just to think this might be the first time in years she's felt safe while sleeping...".

"It's not your fault Tamaki. You can't blame yourself for this mess",I said. As much of an idiot as he was, this truly wasn't his fault. So he didn't need to blame himself.

"I should've paid more attention to her...",he said, gaze going to the floor now. I sighed.

"Listen to me. You at least were there for her when she was around. without you she could've ended up worse than she is now. Think about it",I said. I didn't even want to think about how worse this could be but I new it was possible.

Tamaki looked up at me now and gave me a small smile."Your happy aren't you?",he asked. I was confused before I thought of the reasons I'd be happy now.

"Even in these situations can you find happiness. I'm just glad she doesn't have to deal with those people... for now at least",I said knowing that it would be a good month or so before they were gone completely.

"I'm glad...she makes you happy",he said, looking back at Tenshi again. I could tell now that he truly loved her and realized it. It did hurt inside...knowing he knew her first and I won her over. Being his best friend did that to me."I'm also glad she chose you and not me". Now that shocked me.

"Tamaki?",I asked in a low voice.

"You can protect her and keep her safe. I'm not ready to be with her...but I can still stand next to her",he said, voice sounding like he was asking me for permission. I let my lips curve up into a small smile.

"You two are best friends Tamaki. I wont take her from you",I said. He looked back up at me, eyes glittering with tears once again.

"Thank you",he said,only a small lift in the corner of his mouth letting me know he was smiling. I nodded my head softly before looking down at Tenshi. This girl was something special to affect us like this. And id be damned if I let that go to waste.
