Will's POV...
Right after coming from taking back the hosts to their homes, Kira didn't bother coming home with me, she disappeared before I could stop her from leaving. I lost her before I could track her, so I went home in thought on where she could have gone. When I walked in the house I looked her like she was fumbling through the shelf and she saw me. "Kira!" I yelled in surprise but she shifted into a cat and jumped on the shelf as she flicked her tail and looked at me with narrowed blue eyes. I tightened my fists to look at her.
"Where the hell were you these past few days! I know you told me not to worry, but how in the world could I stay relaxed when I don't know what might happen to you! What if you got hurt under my watch! I can't risk you getting injured!" I could feel my battery shorten, and the days I stood awake not even bothering to recharge. "You….you're important...to them….." I stiffened as I shifted into dormant mode.

Kira POV
I looked at the robot who lied on the floor. "Seems like I need to improve some functions." I jumped off the shelf and shifted back into my human self. "When are you ever going to learn and follow your code. You hunk of titanium shit." I whispered and took him in my arms to recharge and readjust some things in his system to make him even better. I looked at my right hand to see the bracelet and I ignored it as I worked throughout the night into early morning. I walked into my room to walk into the restroom to take a shower. I stood in the shower for who knows how long, thinking about the guys. "I'm too reckless, I get let my emotions get out of hand." I could feel myself tear up at the fact that Will was worried about me. "Control yourself now Alexander, You have to pay a visit to some snotty kids." I stepped out of the shower and dried my body with a towel. I walked towards the wrapped gifts and looked at the last one which I didn't finish wrapping.
"You know it's for the best if you give it to them. It makes sense, since it is the 25th."
I listened to Trinh and sighed. "It is the 25th, isn't it?" I picked up the bracelet and both mine and the piece of jewellery glowed for a second and regained its gold color with white crystal engraved in the bracelet. "I've never given anyone present's before. This is also my first christmas too." I put the bracelet back into the box and thought of something.
"Are you going to tell them?" Rouge said calmly. "I don't think I have a choice do I?" I sighed.
"Their going to be mad, but I can handle that. After all, their safety is before anything." I grabbed a piece of paper and started to write down a note.

Dear Tamak and Host Club,
I honestly don't know what to say to someone when giving someone a present. That and since this is my first Christmas giving something to someone. These pieces of jewelry are very important so please consider wearing them. Each is a different color, style, and hold a deep meaning behind them. Enjoy the holidays, I may not be that interested in the host club as all of you, but all of you are important. So….hope all of you like them. I customized them to fit everyone's personality. Don't worry about cleaning them or losing them, I can assure you that they won't.
I looked at the beautiful bangles and admired their design. I wouldn't have expected them from Kira actually. I set the note on the floor and took the three bracelets and slipped them on easily. "They're nice." I smiled as I was surprised how light they were on me. I looked at Kyoya pick up the note and read the paper then turning the paper his face turned a very...very...pale color.
"Kyoya what's wrong?" I said walking to him smiling. "Jealous that I got something prettier?" I nudged him with my shoulder but Kyoya looked at me with a savage dark aura. I jumped back to hide behind Mori. "Woah Kyoya, what did you read? What does it say?" The twins walked towards Kyoya and he pushed the note out as he gave a wicked grin. Never in my life have I have ever...Ever...seen Kyoya smile like that.
We all walked towards the twins to read what was left behind what I had already read outloud.
PS. Once you put them on, you won't be able to take them off. That's what happened to me when I put mine on. Try if you don't believe me, but they will come off on their own. You won't be able to tell anyone that you can't take it off, I don't know why you would want to, their nice gifts.
Have a nice Christmas,
Kira Alexander
I was completely shocked as Kyoya brought his left hand up as he looked at his ring. He then laughed. "That's the most idiotic prank I have ever read. I never thought Kira would be capable of doing such pathetic things. Who does he think we are?" He grabbed his ring and pulled on his ring, but it wouldn't come off. "What the hell? Come off you bloody thing!" Kyoya tried to take off but couldn't. We all looked at eachother and there was no use. We could not take the pieces of jewelry off.
I tried pulling mines off but they wouldn't budge. "What's going on!" I yelled in panic and thought of one thing. "Kira!" We all yelled and I grabbed my phone as I dialed his number. It rang and rang. "Pick up damn it." Hikaru said as he couldn't even lift the necklace from his neck. "Hello?"
There was something strange from Kira's voice. It sounded...higher than usual, but I quickly snapped out of it. "KIRA!" I yelled through the phone but suddenly I got shivers down my spine.
My throat suddenly got dry, my hand started to shake, and an unsettling feeling coursed through my stomach. "Do you know what time it is Souh? Surely by now the Hosts are in your house and trying to take your gifts off. Don't you think that's ungrateful? I spent my time trying to get all of you something nice, and you want to just throw something precious away. I better think again pretty boys. Now don't bother me, I just fell asleep fifteen minutes ago. All of you ungrateful snobby rich idiots have other things to do than bother with pieces of jewelry. Unlike all of you, I've never have friends or family to spend my time with…"
He suddenly stopped and there was silence. I opened my mouth but Kira spoke first. "Never mind what I said, I'm sorry, I've just been busy so….see all of you in January." "Wait Kira!" I yelled but he hung up. The curious feeling I had felt no longer was there but my heart was beating heavily. I didn't know what to say now to my friends. Everyone was too quiet, and they looked as if they felt the same thing I did. A knock then came from my door stunning all of us and I cleared my throat. "Come in." I said as I stood up and scratched the back of my neck.
"Begging your pardon Tamaki-sama and guests, your breakfast awaits down stairs in the dining hall. Please excuse me." "Thank you Shima." I ran a hand through my hair and went to go change. I dressed comfortably for later on. I know that the twins were going to host the annual Christmas party this year at their mansion. "So what are we going to do with these?" The twins lifted them finally as they inspected them. "Seems like we have no choice but to wear them." They said at the same time. "At least their stylish." I looked at Kaoru. "Well he does have a good sense of style."
"So what else besides Kira's Christmas present did you come in here for?" I said while putting on a warm cashmere sweater. "We came to talk about the party tonight! We already went to Haruhi's house this morning and gave her an invitation ourselves. As for Kira, we wanted to invite him but we don't know where he lives. Not even Kyoya knows." The twins said with a straight face. I looked at Kyoya in surprise. 'There was never a time where Kyoya didn't know anything about anyone. This is completely strange.'
"Wait! What about Will-chan!" We looked at Honey and I smiled triumphantly. "Yes! Wilbur knows Kira! Maybe we can meet up with him and give him and Kira an invitation! Let's call him right now!" I quickly grabbed my phone as everyone huddled together. The phone began to ring and then they picked up. "Hello? Who is this?" I froze and quickly hung up.
Everyone looked at me with furrowed brows. "Why did you do that Tama-chan?" I looked at Honey-senpai with dread. I could feel a cold sweat down my face. "Boss? Tono?" I looked at the twins and with a dry mouth spoke. "Kira just answered the phone." Kyoya looked at me and a nerve appeared. "Are you sure you didn't call Kira?" I looked at the phone number and showed them my phone. We all looked at each other in dread. "Why did Kira answer Will's phone?" I raised my brow.
"I knew they knew each other, but wouldn't think they were that doesn't seem like the type of person to get along with people like Kira, much less get to know someone like him. Kira is too...how shall I put this?"Kyoya stopped for a moment for Kyoya as he rested his chin on his hand. "Basic." I cringed at the word but then Kyoya shook his head. "No, he's very…." "Distant."
We looked at Mori who had picked up Honey and put him on his shoulders. "Yes, precisely. The odds of them being or just knowing each other is remarkable." Kyoya said as he now took a seat on a chair behind him. "Maybe men, Wilbur is like us! A humble servant of god who pities the less fortunate." I sighed. Everyone shook their heads but Kaoru still remained thinking. "Yes, but that doesn't make any sense. I don't remember them ever together." Said Hikaru "We saw them together once. It was a long time ago." Said Kaoru. I sat on my bed and cuddled a pillow while I listened. "It was cold and we had seen Kira come out of the store." "Yeah that's right!" Hikaru interjected and I grunted. "Shut up you two!"
Just then I got a flashback as I remember looking at Kira who looked at me like I was a crazy person. "Tamaki what's wrong?" I looked at Kyoya and blinked. "I'm just remembering what happened." I said furrowing my brows. "Yeah you broke Kira's things remember?" The twins continued to laugh. "You demon twins!" I huffed. "Then what is it Tama-chan?" I could hear Honey ask. "Well I remember Kira's face when I accidentally dropped it. He looked me with this face." "Maybe it's because you made him cry." Kyoya said bored. "Let me finish will ya!" I said aggravated. "Anyways, Kira's face turned to look at me as if he saw some awful thing, and I never expected this but he started to cry." I hugged the pillow tighter. "What?" I looked at the group with an arched brow. "Didn't you see him?" I asked. Everyone shook their heads. "Kira cry? No way." The twins narrowed their eyes, not believing what was coming from my mouth.
"It's the truth!" I yelled standing up and throwing the pillow on the floor. "Kira left on his skateboard suddenly and then we were left to see Wilbur wearing nice casual clothing with a skateboard as well apologizing, then running after Kira."
I suddenly caught Kyoya with a glare on his glasses. "You're right. He seemed to suddenly get all emotional, I did catch a small glance, but his face wasn't of distress, but of terror. It was just a brief look, he probably could have been due to some debris. I've been observing Kira when he's at school, and he seems like the type of person like Mori-senpai said, distant. It's strange, he doesn't seem to show any emotions at any matter. Not until after when Kira's dog died. That's when he suddenly started to change, he seemed to be expressing his emotions more." Kyoya pushed up his glasses and we listened attentively. "Kira's emotions seemed to fluctuate, but when we had the winter ball at school he couldn't stop smiling." "Yeah, but it wasn't that noticeable either." I rubbed my chin. "Right, then when his friend came and got attacked by that crazy masked lunatic when they were dancing, Kira was furious and didn't leave Ki's side at all, but I'm getting sidetracked. When we saw Will for the first time it's when Haruhi came from the market to make a hot pot correct?"
At the sound of hot pot my stomach growled loudly, with the rest of everyone else's. "Let's finish this conversation while we eat breakfast shall we?" I said with a smile. The twins dashed past me as they stuck their tongues out. "Last one down has to eat commoner sushi!" I dashed my way leaving the twins last.
We all sat down as we continued our conversation. "As I was speculating, when we saw Will, he was nicely dressed to be riding a skateboard." Kyoya spoke. "Maybe that was someone else?" Honey said taking a bite of food. "I didn't even get a good glance at the guy. Who know's if it was Will or not." Hikaru shrugged. "From my stand point of it, Will seems to be a type of person to avoid a person Kira." Kaoru added. "If I'm correct, Will seems to be quite the man, don't get me wrong Kira is too, but something about looks quite feminine." Kyoya sipped his water and continued. "Now I know that what I'm about to say has nothing to do with Kira knowing Will, but I was thinking. When we had the ball at school, didn't it seem strange that Kira just left with an invitation when he finished dressing and didn't tell us anything about his guest?" "Yeah and she was the only one out of the girls to wear a high neck illusion dress." The twins said now more serious into the conversation.
"Doesn't it also seem strange that Kira-chan date was called Ki as well?" Honey said sipping on some milk. "Yeah. it is strange almost coincidental." I mumbled loudly. "When I think about Kira's date, I honestly think she was the most beautiful girl in the room, to beautiful, she seemed fake. I couldn't take my eyes off of her, honestly she looked better than any runway model I have ever laid my eyes on. What also caught my eye was that she was also very muscular, I've never seen such definition like that on a girl before." I looked at Hikaru. "And we've seen a lot of runway models, that and we couldn't even see cleavage so something was wrong there." Both said at the same time as they folded their arms across their chest.
There was a strange wave between all of us. "But Ki's eyes were blue with an almost gold looking specks on them. Couldn't that be something?" We looked at Honey who hugged his bunny. "They could always be contacts." The twins said as the servants started to clear the plates. We looked at one another. "Yeah-and after that, we met with Will who talked about Kira once in awhile, and his eyes were light gray with gold in them." I swallowed heavily and the room seemed to tense even more as we all thought of more things. "No…" The twins said at the same time.
Lightning flashed in the room. "KIRA IS GAY!" All of us exclaimed out loud. "That's why he doesn't want people to get close to him. He's afraid of coming out of the closet!" Kaoru said slamming his hands on the table. "Could it be possible that Will was Ki?" Hikaru said looking at his brother. "It's possible, but there is only one way it could be true." Kyoya's mood shifted into a dark one. "When Ki woke up from the attack and Honey-senpai asked about Ki's bracelet around her wrist and arm, Ki asked if Kira had his right?" We all shook our heads. "Then the only way we can prove if Will was Ki, is if we invite the both of them and see for ourselves if Will was in fact Ki all along." Kyoya looked at all of us and I stood from my chair. "That's exactly what we're going to do!"
"Wait! We have to be smart about this." Kyoya looked at all of us as he also stood up. "We are just going to invite Kira first." "But why?" The twins and Honey asked. "If they do like each other as we think Kira will have the bracelet Will gave to him. "If Kira has it then our speculations would have been correct." Everyone else stood. "Unless both come together." Mori said with determined eyes. "Well, we could just invite Will to see if he invites Kira. Which would probably be a no, but it's worth a shot." Kyoya stated cleverly. "Kyoya you're so smart!" I smiled and flipped my hair to the side. "And if we invite Will, and Kira doesn't come, then we'll get Haruhi to invite Kira." Kyoya sighed as he started to walk out.
"Tamaki-sama, your father would like a word with you over the phone." I looked at one of the maids who had the phone out. "Catch you later boss." "I'll see you at the party Tamaki." "Bye Tama-chan!" I looked at all my friends and smiled. "Alright everyone! Don't let me down!"

Kira's POV…
"Kira." I heard a voice say. 'What is is you two.' I said in my head but I didn't get a response. "Kira." I furrowed my brows as I shut my lids tighter. 'I'm not playing with either one of you.' I warned. "It's me Will, open your eyes please." I opened my eyes to see Will in front of me. I sat up and cringed slightly. "Take it easy now. Your shoulder has a nasty bruise, but other than that, no scar." I looked at my chest and shoulder as it was wrapped comfortably.
I sighed as I propped my head back on the bed frame. "It seems like you'll need some rest." I looked at Will and red flashed before my eyes of the dream I had of him dying, everyone dying. I looked away and Will brought the chair closer to me. "Kira what's wrong? Tell me, you can trust me with anything, you need to vent. It's not good to keep everything inside you know, it isn't healthy." I looked at the window, and the snow covered land trying not to yell at the top of my lungs for him to go away.
"Kira, you need to tell him how you feel, it will help you."
I could hear Trinh's voice appear then disappear inside my head. "Alright, I'll leave you alone, but you should eat some breakfast, It's going to be on your table. Call me if you need anything." I could hear Will get up. I looked at him from the corner of my eyes and could see him stare at me when he closed my door. My stomach growled and I got up. Looking at the clock by my bed, it said 3:30 p.m.. I walked to my table and ate slowly trying to figure out what I was going to say to Will.
'I was pretty much at a fault here stuck between two walls. I know he was upset, but I wish he would have scolded me more. He woke up on his own, and then made me breakfast? I guess I owe him, but can I tell him how I feel?' I finished eating and decided I wanted to take a bath. Freshening up, I gave myself a haircut, and changed into something comfortable. Walking to my desk to put my dishes in the kitchen to wash, my plates were gone. "Will." I put on some slippers and opened my door to see Will in front of me about to open my door. He stepped back quickly and slipped. I grabbed his hand and pulled him towards me, but I could feel a sharp pain coming from my arm. He righted himself up and I let go of his hand trying to be casual and not let him notice my pain.
"You're hurting, don't try to hide it Kira. I ran a scan of you, and noticed you cringe slightly when you grabbed my hand." I looked at him and put my head down. "I...I..Just.." 'I want to tell him how I feel, to just give him some answers, but Will stepped forward and I looked up at him. "You don't have to explain anything. I know you like your space, so I'll give it to you. I'll leave you alone, and won't ask any questions, I mean that's what I was made for right? But when the time comes I will not leave your side. Other than that, I will comply with everything you tell me to do, I will go with everything you say, and not be stubborn about it." I opened my mouth.
"No don't, I know, you don't have to do this Will. Well Kira I want to, I may be a robot, and pretending to be human isn't helping, but at least think of me as one...ok?" I closed my mouth and balled my fists. I punched him in the chest and he fell down pretty hard on the floor a few feet away. Thankfully his door was open, but that was the least of my problems. I walked forward and Will looked at me with confused eyes as I narrowed mine. "Kira! Are you alright?" I felt anger, but didn't know why. I didn't want to feel angry, but I did, I didn't even mean to punch him.
"Wilbur! Why can't I do anything right?" I fell on my knees and leaned my head on his shoulder. He was surprised and didn't do anything. "I think of you as a human anyway, so that was stupid. Secondly, I have enough space already so there is no need for you to ever give me space. Hell most of my life has been just me, myself, and I. So I'm sorry if I hurt you. I didn't mean to hurt you, I just have a lot in my mind, I'm not sure when I can talk to you about it. So just...just have patience with me alright?" I looked up at him and his expression was unreadable but his cheeks were red.
"Why are your cheeks red?" I asked. Will then hugged me as he answered. "Blushing is an involuntary reaction humans produce to reflect embarrassment. Usually veins in the face dilate, causing more blood to flow into your cheeks, thus the rosy color." I felt comfortable yet a little off on his response. I wrapped my arms around him and I surprised myself that I was in fact hugging someone like this. "Kira?" I could hear Will's voice near my ear.
I felt strange, a warm feeling overtook me and tears started to stream down my eyes. Will hugged me tighter and I didn't know that just a meer embrace could do this to me.
"Will, I don't know why I'm crying. If this is going to happen everytime I hug someone I don't want anyone near my range of proximity." I laughed while choking on sobs. "Well, I'll just have to make sure no one see's you cry." His voice was soothing as he stroked my back as the tears died away.
He let go of me and I wiped the remaining tears from my eyes. "Shut up you piece of titanium shit." I chuckled and he smiled as his dimples were more pronounced on the sides of his cheeks. I only showed a small smile and we both stood up. My phone beeped and I picked it up. It was from the twins.
Will's phone rang as well as I looked at him as well. "Kyoya is calling me." He looked at me and I raised a brow. "Strange, I didn't know you were close with them except when you would go to school for me." I raised a brow and nodded my head to suggest him answer it. I had no business with that, I know he would tell me later. As for me, I needed to check my phone. I grabbed it and I received an invitation.
"An invitation? Tonight? Alright I'll be there, I'll make sure not to tell him." I heard Will's conversation and wondered what he could have been talking about. I read my invitation to a christmas party the twins were going to have. I was surprised I was invited, and then concluded that Will would also be invited.
It was sort of mysterious that they knew of him, and he most likely was being invited to the same thing if Kyoya was calling him. I put my phone away and leaned against my door frame as Will finished talking and he looked at me with a certain gleam in his eyes that I already knew what was going on in their conversation. "Are you going?" He asked me and I shrugged my shoulders as I crossed my arms across my chest.
"I don't think I have a choice. I have a duty to protect the host club, even though I have been leaving the responsibility to you. I have to keep my a game on, but so far no permanent damage has happened to them." I sighed and ran a hand through my hair. "I also share that responsibility with you. Also if we want to arrive the party started and hour and forty-five minutes ago." Will said now taking off his shirt.
"So are you planning on going?" I said looking at him. "I mean you are going right?" I looked at his left hand and was surprised to see a similar arm bracelet just like mine. "Will where did you get this?" He looked at me and picked up his arm as he inspected it. "You gave one to me as well. Well it looked different before I put it on. " I ran a hand through my hair again. "That's strange, but you know that you won't be able to take it off right?" He looked at me and smiled.
"Why would I want to take off a present from you? It's my first christmas after all, and I want to cherish every moment." He smirked and I rolled my eyes as I pushed him lightly on his shoulder. "Alright Will, go change. Oh, also speaking of changing, I made sure to look at the invitation and it said I could wear something casual. It also said from the twins that I could wear whatever I wanted." I said as I walked towards my wardrobe.
"What exactly are you thinking of wearing?" I could hear Will creep behind me.
"Something comfortable of course." I said looking at the small amount of clothing I brought. "Oh no, you are not wearing those damned sweatpants and hideous long sleeve tee shirts. It's a party Kira, try and at least dress nicely for once." I turned around to look at Will almost fuming I stopped moving to look at him seriously. "At least I know that much." I said in a low deep voice. Will looked at me and I closed my wardrobe. I leisurely walked to the other closet and before I opened it I narrowed my eyes as I slowly turned my head to look at Will.
"Go change that's what you should be worrying about." I huffed as I opened the screen door and shut it before he could say anything else. I rummaged through the men's section with little enthusiasm. "This is all unnecessary.' I put on my binder on and quickly dressed myself, and walked into the restroom to try and style my hair.
'What can I exactly do? Will is bound to pull his hair back, that's what he usually does, I think….Maybe I can fluff up the top of my hair...' I looked through the drawers to see loads of beauty products and made me also think of all the other rooms that I haven't seen in the house.
"Why haven't I even gone to the other rooms in the house, maybe I'll do that after I try to do something with my hair." I grabbed a comb and some stuff called pomade and played with my hair until I thought it looked satisfactory.
Once I washed my hands I walked out my room to hear Will still fumbling through trying to put something on. I shook my head as I walked through the hallways to see other rooms and just looking inside they were a moderate size with small bathrooms as well. I walked to the living room and looked at the unexplored hallway in the large one story house. "There could be other rooms over there as well." I mumbled as I walked into the hallway and was correct. They had their own little color scheme, different from each room, but mine was clearly the master bedroom.
"Kira! Where are you!" I could hear Will yell. "I'm here!" I said walking out the hallway.
"We can leave how, I just wanted to make sure you were ready to go…" He looked at me and looked up and down. "Very nice, you do have a decent sense of style." He smiled as he walked towards me. "Very good indeed." As he looked at my feet his proud face turned into a serious poker face. "What? Their nice high tops, I don't feel like putting on other shoes, and besides I'm not going to impress." I said as I straightened Will's tie on his suit. "Meanwhile you, you're the polar opposite of me." I chuckled and Will grabbed my hands.
He smiled and his dimples were nicely pronounced as I could strangely feel my cheeks warming up. "Alright now let's go before we arrive any later." I said going into my closet to the downstairs garage. "What shall we take today?" Will said as he looked at me, and for a second I could swear that I had gotten a little taller. "Will, by any chance can you scan me if I have gotten taller by any chance?" He scanned me and nodded. "Your previous records when you came to Japan where you used to be a height of 5'11, now your current height is 6'3 ( 190.5 cm). I deadpanned and sighed. How tall are you by the way? " He looked at me and said "6'6(198.12 cm), I had to compromise your height when you were gone to roughly around 6 feet should have been the height when you were left in a coma." I sighed and nodded my head. "I don't know why I keep growing, but I guess that's fine. Let's get a move on." I said as I moved towards the matte black jeep.
.
.
.
Before I could arrive to the destination, I could hear faint classical music playing in the distance. "Even though this is my second party, I don't know how to feel about this. I'm a little worried, not about how people will see me, but how people Will react to someone like me." I told Will and he remained quiet. I looked at him and he was already looking at me.
"What? Surprised? Yes, I trust you with what's inside, I do have feelings you know, just not as normal as other people." I pulled into the gates and rolled down the window as little snowflakes entered and didn't melt when they touched my skin. "State your name please." The bored security guard said as he looked at the both of us.
"Alexander Kira," "Obed Wilbur." The security guard nodded his head and let us pass. We entered through the gates and their house seemed bigger when we had taken the twins back home. "Seems to be a lot of people here for a small party." I said as I pulled up to the main entrance. "I suppose they have a lot of family members." Will said as the valet boy walked to the side of my car and opened our doors. "Thank you, if you want, you can have some fun in it. Just make sure not to get in trouble." I gave him my keys and smiled. "You ready?" Will asked as he fixed his suit. "Well, once I'm inside I'll tell you how I feel." I said as I put my hands in my pockets.
I was internally dreading what was going to happen, I normally didn't do that well with large crowds of people. I was always used to very little groups or just myself. We reached the doors and were opened as a warm air past us and got lost into the cold environment behind us. There were a few people in the entrance wearing elegant dresses and suits. Maids coming to and fro carrying dishes or things meant for the party. "Let's head towards the music." I said walking forward and when we turned a few corners, I saw an open door and sure enough it was filled with a lot of people.
I tensed up and couldn't think of walking inside. "It's alright Kira. You have me here with you." I looked at Will and narrowed my eyes. "I'll be fine, I'll just probably turn insane and kill everyone here." Will's face turned serious and I chuckled. "I was being sarcastic Will." I walked through the door and could hear Wilbur sigh behind me. Guests turned their attention to us as we made our way through the crowd of guests.
I recognized some faces from past missions but I knew for sure they didn't know of me at all. They started to murmur and I remained relaxed as I at least had some form of dignity. "Get the lady and tell them two people we've never seen before are making a statement! Get my agent too, I have never seen two finer men before!" I ignored their conversations until I heard two familiar voices. "Excuse me? Have you seen a tall black haired blue eyed guy. Most probably wearing commoner clothing."
I turned around to see the twins and they looked passed me. "Honestly you two, still going on saying everything that isn't your palate, "commoner"?" I slightly tilted my head to the side and the twins looked at me with wide eyes. "Well..." Hikaru said walking up next to me. "Kira, you look good." Kaoru said as he inspecting my outfit. "Honestly you people have no morals." I huffed.
"I really like how he combined white skinny jeans, and the navy blue shirt goes well." Kaoru said pensively. "The gray blazer and the brown belt also go together." Hikaru smiled. Then they looked down at my shoes and frowned. "But those black high top shoes…" I folded my arms across my chest. "What's wrong with my shoes. It's my twist with my outfit."
"It looks good! Totally different, and not common at all! Good job Kira!" I furrowed my brows and shook my head. "Alright you shady twins, why did you decide to invite me?" They looked at me and their faces became serious. "You've gotten taller too, what have you been up to Kira? Also what's up with these?" They gestured to their necklaces. I smirked and shrugged my shoulders. "I don't know, they look good on you two. I made sure to make them different, since the two of you are very different." They clearly weren't expecting my answer but it was true. The twins are much more different than people think they are.
"Talking about differences we need to have a talk with you." Their serious tones amazed me as they took hold of my left hand and guided me through the guests, up a set of stairs and through lots of rooms until we reached one door and shoved me into the dark room. I couldn't hear anything, but shuffling. I blinked to get my eyes adjusted to the dark so I could see. "Kira?" I knew that voice.
"Wilbur?!"
"Kira I'm here!" I looked at him and he looked at me. "What's going on you two shady twins!?" I raised my voice, and rolled my sleeves up. I was worried if those weren't actually the twins and the enemy managed to shapeshift as well.
The lights turned on.
I looked around to see it was a bedroom and it was quite large. "Why didn't you tell us Kira?" I looked around and heard voices coming from the balcony. "What do you mean, why didn't I tell you?" I didn't know what they were talking about. "Kira, you didn't have to lie to us you know?" The doors opened and the host club was in clear view under bright moonlight. "What are you guys talking about?" My heart started to pound in my chest as I balled my fists. "Wilbur, we know you disguised yourself to help Kira." My eyes widened and Tamaki walked forward. His stare was intense as well as the others. "Kira-chan why didn't you tell the truth?" I looked at Honey who hugged his little bunny.
My mouth turned dry and I couldn't find the words to express myself. It was like that dream I had. "We know your relationship with each other. You two here prove our hypothesis." Kyoya pushed up his glasses. "I didn't have a choice alright! I didn't know how all of you would react. I was afraid, you too Will, I shouldn't have dragged you into this." I looked at Will and he looked at me with sincere eyes. "At least they know now. We don't have to worry about telling them now." I sighed and nodded my head as I looked at the Host club.
"I wouldn't have thought all of you would figure out, it took you long enough. I actually was thinking all of you would react quite differently, but I'm glad all of you know." I smiled and could feel my heart relax. I felt totally relaxed. I was actually thinking of telling them, but now that they knew, I didn't have to worry.
"Well Kira, it's totally fine to be gay." I stopped for a second and looked at Haruhi. "What?" I looked at them and their cheerful faces turned into confused ones. "What do you mean gay?" I said with raised brows. "You're gay….aren't you Kira-chan, and Wilbur-chan is your boyfriend right?" There was an awkward silence between us and I couldn't help but feel a little upset at the fact that they didn't find out yet, but that's the point of my mission, for them not to find out. I felt strange as something bubbled inside of me and I started to chuckle. "What's so funny Kira?" I could hear Tamaki walk in my direction. I couldn't help but look at Will and laugh. He laughed as well and I was tearing up. "Kira you don't have to be in denial my son." Tamaki said worried in a glittery ambiance. I couldn't help but laugh, and also think of something quick to tell them about my relationship with Will.
I stood up straight and wiped a few stray tears from my eyes. "Never in my life have I ever laughed like that, or laughed like that in general." The hosts faces were amazed and I looked at Will and I spoke. "I serve under the Obed name. I am Wilbur's butler." I gestured my hand towards Will who looked at me surprised for a second, but he knew that he had to go with whatever I said. 'Surely he was going to ask questions.' "Well, at least we tried, seems like it didn't take long for them to find out." Will smiled and shrugged. "What?" Everyone asked.
"If all of you were assuming that I had some sort of relationship with my master then all of you seem to have gotten everything wrong." I said seriously. "Then when Wilbur dressed like a woman when you invited him to the masquerade? How do you explain that?" The twins asked. I deadpanned and would have thought that they would have thought it was someone else, but now Will. "Well I made Kira invite me, and I just wanted to try something different." Will scratched the back of his neck. "That would also explain why you tend to leave unexpectedly! You were tended to your duties as a caretaker for your master! Oh how wonderful! Master and servant!" Tamaki irradiated with a smile. I looked at Will and he shrugged. "That's where you also get your knowledge from as well Kira. I always wondered where you got all that knowledge from." I looked at Kyoya and shook my head. "Well it wasn't official until Kira wore his bracelet.
Our contract could only continue if he were to wear this." Will grabbed my right hand and shook my arm. "Yes, well, I was worried when you did get hurt and you are my responsibility." I said jerking my hand away from Will's grasp.
"Well then, seems like we were wrong again, but a new member in the family is welcome any day!" I looked at Tamaki as he smiled brilliantly with the rest of the host club. I sighed and looked at Will. "We should all be leaving down stairs, it's rude for guests to hog the hosts of the party." I said opening the door. "Kira's got a point, let's go." Haruhi was the first one to leave as the rest of the group trailed behind her. "Hey Kira?" I looked at the twins and raised my brows. "Why don't you dress like a butler?" I opened my mouth but Will answered for me. "Because I'm the type of master who doesn't like to restrain humans like animals. Kira's not only my butler but my friend, he's opened his house to me, and I couldn't thank him enough."
"You two live together!" The twins and Tamaki yelled. "Will all of you stop screaming all the time?" I hissed. The hosts stepped back and I looked down at them. "Where else would he live?" Their faces turned slightly blue and they were quick to run and catch up with the rest of the group. "Honestly they will never fail to get on my nerves." I rubbed the bridge of my nose. Will chuckled and I looked at him seriously. "Well, that was...interesting. Could have said I was your brother or something to make it less of a hassle for you." I put my arm up and he looked at it. "This bracelet connects us as master and servant." Will widened his eyes and nodded his head. I put my hands behind my back as I retorted. "As for the whole brother smuck we don't have the same type of last names, so it wouldn't work. You clearly are something else."
We walked through the hallway and even as I was talking I could feel Kyoya's presence in front of us, trying to get a little information out of our conversation. I smirked and we both made it back to the hall where I didn't notice the beautiful large Christmas tree adorned with crystal ornaments, and boxes of presents. "Do you like it?" I looked at the twins who stood and smiled warmly. "It is." I said looking at the tall tree. "It's very beautiful." I smiled softly and the twins asked. "Why don't you smile more often Kira?" My face fell serious again and looked at them. "I don't have any reasons to smile if that's what the both of you are asking." I said simply. "You can be so dark Kira, loosen up!" I glared at Will and he shut up quickly. The twins laughed. "Us too, Kira can be very scary." I looked at the twins and both Will and the twins stood next to me with dark moods.
"My little girls there you are! Oh, my who are these two fine gentlemen?" I heard a woman yell happily. I looked at the woman with pretty bright eyes and short hair in front of me. "Mother." The twins muttered. "It's a pleasure to see you Mrs. Hitachiin for the first time. I'm Obed Wilbur, but you can call me Will. This is my friend Alexander Kira." Will kissed the twins mother's hand, then pointed to me. I bowed towards her and she blushed. "My, fine gentlemen we have here, You two, why didn't you tell me earlier you had fine looking men such as yourselves!" She laughed as she put her gloved hand to her face. "Please Mrs. Hitachiin, your words are far too kind for someone like me, and do not blame your son's. We should have taken the initiative to introduce ourselves. Not only you but to the rest of the host club's family.' I sighed in false disappointment.
"My! No need for that my boys! Well, I have more to do. My lovelies, help these boys out to anything they want. I hope you enjoy this little party of ours. Oh and if you get scouted, Hikaru, Kaoru, make sure they don't get them. I have first dibs." Her aura was that similar to the twins when they were scheming something behind Tamaki's back. "Alright now if you'll excuse me." The slender woman in a white evening dress was quickly surrounded by people and she laughed her way into the crowd. "You have a very wonderful mother Hikaru and Kaoru." I said looking at them. They pouted and folded their arms. "She's alright." I looked at them with a sincere face as I turned back to look at their mother.
"She's the only mother you're going to have. When you lose something that's important to you, you'll know." They looked at me and Will put his hand on my shoulder and pointed. "Hey looks like Haruhi is having a good time at the spread table, let's go."
Will dragged me, and in the midst of dragging, I bumped into a woman. "My apologies my lady, I didn't mean to." I let go of Will and bowed in apology. "My, I don't mind being bumped into a person like you. Say, why don't we leave and go to a better party?" She had honey colored eyes and hair elegantly done as her wavy brown locks framed her pale face. "No thank you." I said politely. "What…" I looked at her, and her pretty face soon turned sour. "Do you have a girlfriend?" She said as she put her hand on my shoulder. "No..I just…" "Do you know who I am?" She grabbed my hand and intertwined it with mine.
"I'm Yuki Lulu, I'm probably the most famous and recognized person here! I'm probably even better looking than whatever you have as an interest!" I looked at her with no emotion and she took the top of my blazer so I could meet her face. "So what is it going to be pretty boy. What do you want? I could give you anything you want. Fame? Power? Money? All of that could be possible at any moment, all you just have to do is agree to be with me." She smiled seductively.
I let go of her hand and stood straight. "I'm not interested." I said finally. Clearly she didn't like what I said so she raised her hand and I was going to let her slap me, it didn't really care anyway. I didn't feel at place here anyway. Just as I thought she was going to make contact with me face, her hand was stopped and I saw a black arm bracelet similar to mine.
I looked at the person who stopped the woman and he looked stoic as she stayed looking at me with large eyes. "He's taken." Will's hand locked into mines as he looked at me and winked. I could feel my face warm up as Will smiled. "Excuse us." With a bow he took me again and I we walked towards Haruhi who was now accompanied with Honey and Mori.
"You alright Kira-chan?" I looked at Honey and quickly relaxed. "Yes senpai, I'm fine." I cleared my throat and smoothed my jacket. "Hey Kira, I've been meaning to tell you. I really like your hair. It's different." I looked at Haruhi which I now noticed was wearing a nice cocktail dress with a fur coat cape draped around her shoulders. She wore cute high knee socks, with pastel pink heels and her hair was adorned with pink bows, as her hair was slightly curled.
"You...you look really nice as well Haruhi. Your outfit compliments you as well." Will said with a slight warm tone to his face. I composed myself and remained serious as Will and the rest of the guys continued their conversations. I could feel a tightening feeling in my chest. 'If only I could tell them the truth. I don't want to lie to them anymore. I at least want to tell them what I am, I don't want to spill lies upon lies.' The guys continued to talk, so I decided to walk around. "This is pretty nice, to have parties like this all the time. I wonder what it would be like to be of high class, or noble blood." I looked at the christmas tree and imagined what would my life be if I were to have a normal family. A family like in the books I've read growing up.
'One that would love me, and cherish me. Get mad at me when I would do something wrong, or have older siblings to look up to. Or younger siblings to…'I could feel something warm trickle down my face as I continued to think.
'A sibling to wish each other happy birthday every year. Go to the beach, do something simple, but something like a family….isn't even worth the trouble." I closed my eyes to feel the people around me. 'So much goes on in this world. It's so precious, but it could easily be taken away.' The the smell of food, expensive perfume, the sound of voices all over the room, the orchestra playing soft music in the background, and yet, I feel no warmness in the crowd of people. They all seem to be...nonexistent. I opened my eyes to see the bright tree and the star high up glimmering softly.
"It's funny people try so hard to get everything in life, yet fate and destiny can be so..so cruel, and take everything away." I whispered. "Kira…" I looked at Will who looked at me with a worried face. "Why are you crying?" I touched my cheek, and felt water around my cheek.
"I don't know."
Will sighed and I wiped my cheek with my hand. "You seem to catch me at the worst of times you know." I mumbled and he chuckled. "Well, I have nothing to say about that, but it seems like you were the only one here." I raised my brow and looked behind me. "Where did everyone go?" I asked. "They're going to have a firework display outside, I just wanted to tell you you should go see it with us. We're all outside, even the servants are." I nodded my head and looked at the tree. "I'll be fine here...It's nice here, I've seen enough fireworks." I said showing him a small smile. "Are you sure?" Will asked stepping closer. "I'm sure, I'll be with you in a bit, I just want to look at this tree. It's so beautiful." I said staring at the ornaments.
"Alright, but once the fireworks finish, is it alright if we leave? I want to take Haruhi home, and we both need our rest, especially you." I looked at my shoulder and nodded my head. I heard Will leave and it was just me in the large room. "Too bad they had to chop you up and put you in here." I looked under the tree and saw it was starting to dry up. "You poor thing, I wish only the best for you."
I tenderly grabbed a branch and immediately my bracelet glowed a soft green as everything on the tree glowed brighter, and what ever looked antique, shone like new again. As I stepped back the dim little star, now shone brightly as if it turned into crystal. As for the tree it looked alive and healthy, the pine smell easily overpowered the aroma of everything in the room and it smelled 10x better.
I felt my arm tremble as the pain from the night before still stung. "I think they're just starting with the fireworks." I said as I no longer heard fireworks outside. "I guess merry Christmas to you Kira." I sighed. "Kira-chan!" "Kira!" "What are you doing? Come on!" "You're missing the display!" I turned around and looked at the host club with heavy breaths. I was surprised. "Come on slow poke!" Tamaki said smiling. I softened my look as I walked with them to see the fire colored sky.
"Merry Christmas!" Everyone yelled as the final firework took to the sky. I looked at everyone's happy faces, even Kyoya's and Mori's. They were all smiling, and I just had a million thoughts pop in my head. 'I promise to keep all of you smiling like that, no matter what, no matter what happens.'
