"I can't believe you're really here." I said as I pinched Dylan's arm. Hey jumped away, out of my reach.

"Hey! That did hurt you know."

I laughed because I knew he wasn't mad. "I was making sure you weren't going to vanish into thin air." Dylan looked exactly the same as he always had, except that his dark hair was shorter. His bright blue eyes still held the same chronic look of happiness and he was still almost a foot taller than me. There was, however, something different about him. I couldn't place my finger on it though.

"Where are you staying?" Kailey asked.

He shrugged and scooted closer to me again. "Probably a hotel."

"Hotels are creepy." I said. Which I believe is true; employees can walk in at anytime, plus you never really know how clean the sheets are. "You can stay at our house if you want." I glanced over at Kailey, "Kale's always wanted to share a room." She stuck her tongue out at me.

"But you're so much closer to Danni, and her bed is bigger than mine." She winked and laughed. "Seriously though, we do have extra rooms. I'm sure Dad won't mind."

I looked away from Kailey and at Dylan, "Wait, did you come here alone?" He nodded. "Does your mom know? Did you just wake up one morning and go, "Hey, I think I'm going to fly to Japan today"?"

He laughed and I knew it was because I was acting ridiculous, but I didn't care. Everything I said was something he has been known to do. Ever since he was thirteen and learned you don't have to have an adult with you to get on a plane he's just gone on spontaneous trips without a word of warning to anyone. Well he would tell me, but only because I would be freaking out if he didn't tell me. "Danni when has my mom ever cared if I just hopped on a plane and flew to the other side of the world?" I opened my mouth as I thought that through. His mom never cared, as long as she didn't have to pay for it. All she cared about was her boyfriend and his money. I closed my mouth. "Exactly."

"So Dylan, how long have you known Danni?" Honey asked as he jumped onto the couch in between us.

Dylan looked at me for a moment then said, "It's been what, thirty years now?" I laughed.

"At least," I agreed. "If not more." Honey looked up at me with his big brown eyes.

"You're sure you two aren't dating?" He asked. I picked a bad time to take a sip of tea. I had to do the least ladylike thing I've ever done; clearly spit tea back into my cup. I placed the cup on the table as I coughed.

I shook my head as I coughed and tried to regain my composure. "We're just friends." I said just as I had the first time Honey asked that same question. I finally stopped coughing and looked at Dylan. He hadn't said anything, just sat there and looked at his feet.

"That's why I came, Danni." He said as he stood up. I watched him, very confused. I was even more confused when he knelt down in front of me and took my hands. I felt my mouth drop as he reached into his pocket. "I love you Danni. I always have and I know I always will." He pulled out a ring box.

There was a chorus of what's coming from every host. I looked at them, everyone wore a shocked expression. I looked back at Dylan, he was still kneeling in front of me, only now the box was open and a gorgeous ring was looking up at me. It had a silver band and a heart shaped diamond. "We're only sixteen Dylan." I said quietly, almost a whisper.

He nodded, "I know. It's more of a promise ring than an engagement ring."

I shook my head, "You know I think of them as the same thing."

"I know, but I love you Danni. I have since we were elementary school and you flipped Matt Holloway because he was making fun of Kailey." He took the beautiful ring out of the box and began placing it on my finger. I pulled my hand away from his while I shook my head.

"Dylan you know I do love you, but… like a brother." He looked at the floor and his hands dropped. I stood up and took his hands pulling him up with me. I hugged him when we were fully up. "I'm sorry Dylan." I whispered into his ear.

"I understand Danni." He let go and I looked at him. He stuck the ring back in his pocket.

"I know you'll find a girl someday that you love more and I know she'll love you back. It's just that, I'm in love with Kyoya." I looked at Kyoya, who had this whole time been sitting by himself staring at his laptop. He was now standing and looking at me the way he always does, with a gaze that he saves just for me. One that's filled with more love than most people can ever hope to receive.

Dylan followed my line of sight to him and smiled as he looked back at me. Neither of us had to say anything, it was already understood. He didn't have to ask if I thought it would last, I didn't have to give him an answer he already knew.


Later that week Dylan left to go back to New York. Before he left though he promised that even though his feelings for me haven't changed he wants me to act like nothing ever happened that first day. I told him I could never forget. He only smiled and I gave him a hug, kissed his cheek. I watched as his flight took off.

Kyoya had gone with us so I wouldn't have to be alone, while I said good bye, however, he had stepped away to give us some privacy. As I stood at the window, watching the spot in the sky where I had last seen the plane, he wrapped his arms around me and kissed my cheek not caring who saw anymore. We loved each other immensely and knew nothing could ever change that.

During host club hours now, guys allow me to do things by myself. I don't think about ways to hurt them and make it look accidental anymore. I actually listen to them, give them advice about anything they ask. Most have actually started asking for advice on girls. I'll admit sometimes my advice goes awry and they end up with either food on their head or a slap, but they usually get themselves out of the mess. I've basically been proclaimed the Host Club's Official Matchmaker because I give the guys confidence and courage for when they go and talk to the girls they like.

Speaking of the host club, they were ecstatic to know that Kyoya and I were together. They were not so happy that we had kept it from them for a while though. Now whenever we have a cosplay theme that involves a couple, we usually have to dress the parts. I also don't complain about the outfits they make me wear anymore either, I figure it's easier to just accept them and then have fun.

Hikaru and Kailey came out with their relationship not long after we did. I don't think I've ever seen my twin happier than when she's with him. They are actually perfect for each other. Neither of them are very mature, but Kailey definitely lets him know when he's taken things too far. Kailey finally introduced Hikaru to Dad and then Mom when she came home.

Mom… I finally know why she was crabby. She was pregnant. It wasn't that she was mad at me, or annoyed with me it just happened that I was the only one around when she was having her mood swings. I told her what I had thought and she apologized and I apologized for having thought that she didn't love me as much as she used to. She's having a boy and she let Kailey and I choose a first and middle name for him. We argued about the name and who's choice would be first and who's would be second. Kailey chose Lune meaning moon in French and I chose Sora meaning sky in Japanese. We eventually took the names to Mom and Dad, they chose Sora Lune; sky moon.

Then there's Kailey and I. No, we don't spend as much time together as we once did, but that's okay because lately we seem to be closer than ever. Between the end of the school day and the beginning of host club we take a chance to catch up since we don't even have any classes together anymore and we don't sit by each other at lunch. She sits by Hikaru, Kaoru, and other friends that she's made; I sit by Haruhi -we've actually gotten really close since she saw me dive for a saucer- Yukiko, and then the other people tend to change daily. I don't mind it at all. Everyday there are new conversations, new people, new experiences.

One thing that I never thought I would say that I am going to say is…. I'm so happy the host club is here and that I am part of it. They're all like a part of my family. An extremely dysfunctional part of my family, but definitely family.


There's one more thing I need to talk about. The night Kyoya came over for dinner to officially meet my parents as my boyfriend and not as Dad's business associate/friend's son. I had told him to dress nice, but not black tie. When I answered the door that night he was in black dress pants and a black button down shirt. In his hand he carried a bouquet of pink roses -my absolute favorite. He looked at me a and laughed. "I though you said it wasn't black tie." I looked down and remembered that I was in fact wearing a tie that thanks to Mel I knew how to tie. I just rolled my eyes and laughed with him. I let him in and took the roses into the kitchen to get a vase.

"Well, I haven't seen you in a while. Thought I had scared you away." Mel said when she saw us.

Kyoya shook his head. "I don't scare that easily."

Mel just smiled and said, "Good thing."

During the meal, no one ever ran out of things to say, it was like how Takahashi family dinners used to be. Loudness, talking with mouths full, and laughing; always lots of laughing. I was honestly surprised at how well Kyoya fit in, as if he was there every night. Nothing was awkward like I thought it would be and I loved every second of it. The only part that I was embarrassed by was Kailey standing up and starting to sing while we all sat in the living room after eating.

"Come on DanDan! You know this song!" She shouted over the radio. I shook my head, trying to get through to her that I wasn't going to sing. It didn't work and instead of just me, she made everyone get up and sing with her.

"Who slipped the alcohol into her water during dinner?" I asked jokingly.


This is the final chapter :'( I've enjoyed writting it and I've enjoyed reading everyone's reviews. I want to thank everyone that has review whether it was once or on every chapter, thay all mean so much to me. I know there are some OCs that didn't appear. I didn't forget them honestly I didn't. I'm going to possibly do this in Kailey's POV as a different story and use the OCs then. There is one thing I'd like to mention, some people have asked if I was going to do a sequel to this one and I'm still not sure. I've placed a poll on my profile, so if you want a sequel you really have to vote otherwise I won't write it. I have a few ideas for it and I may post a summary for it on this story later on. Also, if I don't write Kailey's POV then I'll use the OCs in the sequel (IF there's a sequel. That's up to you guys)

Thank you to everyone that has read and everyone that has made me want to sit down and write for hours.

I love you all and absolutely nothing can change that^_^
