I had fallen asleep in the club when I didn't have any customers, taking a nap in the comfy chair, and completely out as I rested on the table. Light filtered through the open window and onto my face, making me squint and slowly open my eyes, blinking around. Sitting up, I rubbed my eyes straight, allowing to focus on the Host Club. The other hosts were serving the women, laughing so elegantly to please their little fangirl fantasies, taking them by the hand and telling them how simply divine they are. I almost snorted at them all, how different they acted with the ladies.

Mori and Honey entertained their guests with their contrast, Honey's cuteness, and Mori's strength. I looked over at the cousins, watching as Honey ate a cake that a princess had given him. The young senpai smiled and giggled up at the princesses as he chewed, crumbs all over his chin and Usa-chan close under arm. He grinned when he was done, having slurped off the strawberry, "Thank you princesses! How'd you know that I like strawberries?"

The girls chuckled, "You talk about it all the time, Honey-senpai."

"Oh yeah!" He giggled, trying to lick the strawberry juice off his lips.

Mori grabbed Honey by the chin, turning him to face himself, "Mitsukuni…" He took a napkin and began to clean the juice off of Honey's chin. "Don't be so careless. And brush your teeth, unless you want a repeat of last time." When he was finished cleaning him, Mori slid his fingers through Honey's hair, and ruffled it.

Honey smiled up at him, "Thank you, Takeshi."

The girls squealed, "SO CUTE!"

I rolled my eyes, looking to Tamaki, the "King of Ouran." And the Host Club. Girls were just flooding around him, the blonde of his hair now closely resembling a glistening golden crown, which seemed very practical right now. He stood, the girls simply swallowing the space to get to him. "Now, now, princesses. I have time for all of you. Now… where to start?"

Tamaki was hit lightly on the top of his head by a book, the owner of the tome none other than the Dark Prince, Kyoya. He scoffed, "Tamaki, you idiot. Why can't you just please the princesses all at once? Become a better host, fool." He began to stride away.

Watching him walk, hand tucked into his pocket, so elegantly stepping on long legs, I was reminded of what we had heard. This man was Jaga's half brother. Now that I think of it, it made more sense than I originally thought. When we were first told, it had seemed very important and dramatic, yet none of us really reacted drastically like one would expect of us. We just kinda accepted it. It's hard to explain to someone who wasn't present to the situation, but basically, Kyoya dropped this bomb on us that he was related to the infamous Jaga. Bringing up the memory sent me into a flashback:

0u0 Flashback Time 0u0

Looking like he was at his breaking point, Kyoya snapped his book to a close, turning his head in a slow circle so he had all of our attention. He folded his arms over his chest and shifted his weight to one foot, pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose, "Jaga's my half brother."

We all slowly looked at each other, eyes wide and trying to comprehend what had just been said by the Dark Prince. Kyoya turned his back and didn't face us, almost as if the stubborn man was embarrassed which was a first. Tamaki, surprisingly, was the first to compose himself in the group. He walked over to Kyoya.

The dark haired boy scoffed, "Don't try and lecture me, idiot. I know that I shouldn't have kept the fact I secret, but I-"

"Are you truly related?" Tamaki asked, looking up at the other boy.

Kyoya blinked, mouth slack, obviously not expecting that reaction. He instantly composed himself, "Yes. We share the same mother."

Tamaki put his hand on the other's shoulder, "If you say that you're related, then that's all the convincing I need. I won't question you. I figure you have your reasons on why you want to keep this secret. Don't worry. This doesn't change anything."

"But…" He paused. "Now you know that my family is impure-"

"That doesn't change what we think about you Kyoya." Tamaki smiled. "We don't care about your family. We care about you. And as long as you don't care about it, we won't either."

"Right!" Honey bounded up, hugging Kyoya's knee. "We love Kyo-chan. Not Jaga-chan."

Mori ruffled Kyoya's hair and grunted, "Yeah."

The twins both wormed their way into the hug, grinning. Kaoru laughed, "It wouldn't be fun without you, Kyoya."

"Yeah, get over yourself already. Stop hogging the spotlight, will you?" Hikaru nodded.

I simply sat back and watched them all. Kyoya just revealed this horrible secret and they were all reminding him why they loved him. They didn't get angry. They didn't ask stupid questions. They simply accepted it. So this is a family

This is true family.

Kyoya looked at me, and motioned with his head, "Well come on, join the family."

At his words, I couldn't help but smile. So someone else had reached the same realization that I had.

I went over and hugged them all as tightly as I could.

I remember not wanting to let go.

0u0 End Of Flashback 0u0

So as I watched Kyoya walk away from the Golden King, I smiled, knowing that the dark and cool aura he was holding around himself was nothing more than a façade, a fake that nobody could see through. He would never let anyone see through that screen, but on that day, he let us glimpse it.

"Hey!" Someone bumped my shoulder lightly, catching me off guard. It was the beaming form of Kaoru, his orange hair tousled as if he had just woke up with it like that. He grinned, golden feline eyes looking down at me. Snaking his arm around my waist, he chuckled at me.

"Oh, it's you." I found myself smiling that I was in his presence. "What have you been up to?"

"I thought it would be fitting to come and check on my girlfriend." He leaned down and placed a small kiss on my cheek.

The skin where he kissed me felt warm and bubbly, and I didn't know if it was from his lips, or my blush, "I'm doing fine. Just bored. No customers right now."

"Let's ditch this place." Kaoru grinned, looking down at me, "Huh, would do you think?"

I thought about it, thinking of all the trouble we could get into if we skipped. All the people we might be hurting. "Oh, I dunno…"

He flashed me some puppy dog eyes, "Pretty please, Haruhi…?" He took my hands, beginning to back towards the door.

Finally, I gave in, releasing a sigh, "Fine, alright. I'm coming. Let's go!"

We quickly ran out of the room, giggling quietly as we received odd looks while hurrying down the hall. As he held my hand, I felt warm there, my skin all tingly, and my stomach in knots. I was really starting to like Kaoru. I tightened my grip on his hand.

I found myself not wanting to let go.

o0o

So Kaoru's idea of ditching for the day was going back home to just hang out, where we ran into Mama Hitachiin. After a small lecture, Yuzuha gave us a sideways grin, motioning back to our rooms and winking, "Have fun, you two."

And that's how I ended up lying on my bed with Kaoru, eating popcorn as we asked each other questions. Honestly they were useless questions like "What's your favorite color?" Yet somehow, I felt us growing closer with each one.

We both laughed, smiling at each other from over the popcorn. "Okay, okay," I said, trying to calm us. "So… If you had to choose between Wonder Woman, or Cat Woman, which one would you date?"

"Hmm…" He leaned on his hand, thinking about it. He looked so casual in his house clothes (blue pants and orange shirt) with his hair held back in clips. I loved the way he looked right now, and I found myself trying to savor every image that he gave me. He grabbed my hand, running his thumb over the knuckles, "I would date you, of course."

I chuckled, "That's not an option, but I'll accept it."

"Alright," he nodded, messing with my fingers, his warm hand soft. "So who would you date, me or Batman?"

"Oh that's just too easy. Batman, of course!" I laughed.

He chuckled, wagging a finger at me, "Hey! Easy, you!" Launching at me, he sent the popcorn flying, and pinned me to the bed, straddling me as he looked down at me.

My eyes widened and I had my mouth open in agape at the surprising movement he just made. He grinned down at me, resting on my stomach lightly so as not to hurt me. Even his hands only encircled my wrists just enough to pin me down. I could feel each move of his body above me, the tone feel of it tight and fit from my view. Light shifted down and encircled his head in a halo form, the canopy of the bed forming his 'wings', and the tassels looking like feathers. I wanted to save that image forever. Kaoru, my Twin Devil turned Lonely Angel.

He reached down and ran his thumb across my bottom lip, "You are so beautiful… Do you even know what you do to me without even trying? Can I just… Show you…"

I must've nodded, because his body started to slowly come closer, eyes half lidded as he bent down towards me. I closed my eyes, just waiting for whatever came next. I felt his warm lips on my forehead, slowly trailing down my nose, finally stopping at my lips and kissing me lightly. Our lips moved together flawlessly, slowly morphing to fit each other seamlessly. This kiss was very heavenly, the taste of his lips remarkably like passion berry fruit. I felt his chest rising and falling against mine, his warmth flooding into me and making my skin prickle.

How does it feel, Kaoru? How does it feel to be stealing my first kiss?
