Hello! Thanks for reading. Disclaimer: I don't own anything except Hina
A few months passed and it was now summer break. I was going back to see my friends in New York. I was really excited to see them. Until of course it had to be messed up.
I woke up 3 days into summer vacation to the ringing of my phone. It was Takaki.
"What! Why the hell are you calling so early?" I yelled into the phone. The thing that the Ootori family and I had in common was our sleep schedule. I was not an early riser.
"Haruhi has gone missing!" He started and he was off in a rant about how her family had gone bankrupt and run away. Then the other host club members started to but into the conversation. Then Kyoya spoke.
"Forgive me for interrupting your dramatic delusion, but Haruhi is in Karuizawa." Kyoya informed the very delusional Tamaki. Even after that, Tamaki still didn't get it so Kyoya had to explain that Haruhi had taken a summer job in Karuizawa. The Host Club members were not very happy that Kyoya had kept this from them.
So that's how I was dragged into going to Karuizawa with the rest of the host club and forced to delay my trip to NYC.
When we got to Karuizawa, Kyoya told me off to the side that his family had a cottage near the Pension and that I could stay there with him. Not going to lie. This simple little statement made me get some butterflies in my stomach.
The refreshing competition had started for the single room that was available. I was just hanging back with Kyoya making light conversation.
"I think the twins will win, what do you think?"
"Yes that makes the most sense statistically. I agree with you."
At that moment Haruhi came over to the table we were sitting at, "Kyoya-senpai, you're keeping your distance from all this." She observed.
"Of course. Winning means I'd end up staying here alone which frankly doesn't appeal to me. I'll just sit back and watch things unfold then head for the cottage." Kyoya stated.
"The cottage? You mean your family's?"
"That's right. We all have one in the area?" When Kyoya said this, Haruhi looked very irritated. Kyoya then proceeded to break down why the twins will win.
After that whole thing, as Kyoya and I predicted the winners of the competition turned out to be the Hitachiin s.
We headed back to the Ootori cottage and got ready for dinner. We had a nice meal in which we only made light conversation about how Karuizawa was nice and other unimportant things.
Later we were in the living room drinking some tea when suddenly, "Do you miss your friends in New York Hina?" Kyoya asked. I was taken aback by his straight forward question.
"Yes I do.. I'm looking forward to seeing them again. I'm going to tell them all about the Host Club and all the things I had to do. Oh Gods when I tell them how I had to act like a host- Oh gods their gonna make fun of me for ages." I said while laughing.
"Tell me about your friends." Kyoya looked me in the eyes. Those brown eyes shined as he looked at me. He actually had emotion in those eyes. I looked back into his eyes. We held each other's gaze for what seemed like a century. I was hypnotized by those sharp eyes.
I cleared my throat. "Uhh.. Yeah.. Yeah. I can tell you about my friends…. Umm well who should I start with? Um I guess I'll start with Annabeth." I told him about all of my friends from camp. We laughed and we had a great time. He asked me one more question though.
"Do your parents know you are living at the Ootori estate and that your house burned down?" He inquired.
"No. I didn't tell them. They haven't called me ever since we came to Japan. They're like that. I don't even expect anything anymore. My mom never cared about me. She never wanted me anyway. After my dad left her, she just treated me like I was some worthless piece of crap that she never asked for. Then she married my stepdad and he brought along 2 boys that also hated me. I hate that my dad is who he is and I hate that she doesn't know who he is-" Oh crap I thought. I messed up.
"Who's your dad?" I knew he would ask that. Oh shit. Oh shit. What do I do? OH ShiT! How could I screw up like THIS? I mean I knew that maybe I would have to tell him if he ever caught me IM-ing someone or killing a monster or a monster ever attacked us, but I didn't think I would say something to blow my cover. Well, I guess I could tell him.
"Well… Okay, don't freak out or anything. Also after this, if you think I'm batshit crazy I get it. I'll be hard to accept." He just nodded. "Okay. Do you know about Greek Mythology?"
After about 2 hours of explaining, proving my powers, IM-ing camp to prove that I'm not crazy, and some more explaining, I finally got him to accept this new shocking fact. At first he thought I was joking, then he thought I was crazy, then he thought he was crazy, and then finally he accepted the facts. I told him not to tell anyone else because he was the only mortal I ever told. After he accepted it though, he went back to his calm demeanor and I was relieved that I told him. I wanted someone to talk to in Japan without having to IM someone. I was so happy I could talk to Kyoya.
The next day we went back to the pension. That day I found out Hikaru definitely had a thing for Haruhi and that Haruhi was scared of thunder. That day was also exciting. Following Hikaru and Haruhi on a date was much more fun than expected. Although I did have a feeling that Haruhi wouldn't actually end up dating Hikaru. I'm no daughter of Aphrodite but anyone with eyes could see that Tamaki really liked Haruhi and Haruhi did too, even if both of them didn't know.
I went to New York via LT to visit my friends and I stayed for a week. I came back and was dead asleep for about 24 hours. When I woke up it was early morning and I went to the kitchen to get myself a glass of water. I then took the water and my copy of the Odyssey (that was in greek) and went to Kyoya's room to see if he was awake (not likely but still) and to sit on the couch because my room did not have a couch. Yeah yeah, you could say it is a little weird for me to just go into Kyoya's room, but it wasn't because I had gotten permission to come into his room when we had become closer friends.
So I was sitting on the couch of Kyoya's bedroom after checking that he was still asleep. He had probably slept at 5 am again. Then I heard a noise outside of the door, which made me stand up immediately and reach for my necklace. The door opened and standing in front of me, was the host club. ! OH SHIT OH SHIIIIiiiiITTTtttttt…. This was going to be hard to explain.
"Uhhhhhhhhh…. What are you doing here?" I stuttered out. Tamaki stared mouth open, the twins had their signature smirk on, Hani looked surprised and Mori also looked slightly shocked. I mean yeah. I would be too if I saw a girl in Kyoya Ootori's bedroom just chilling on his couch.
"We could ask you the same thing? Hikaru said smirking.
"Yes. So why are you here?" Kyoya said matching Hikaru's smirk.
"Well.. Okay. You know what? Don't smirk like that guys! This is not what you could possibly be thinking. I'm living in the Ootori estate for now. Also don't be so loud okay guys? Kyoya's sleeping." I kind of whisper.
"Wait so when you said you found a place to live after your house burned down, you meant Kyo-chan's house?" Honey-senpai asked. I just nodded. Tamaki was still in shock and starting to disintegrate.
"Uhh.. Tamaki are you okay?" I asked.
"He's broken Hina. You broke him." Kyoya simply said.
"Ummm sorry?" I said, but I made it sound like a question because I mean it's not my fault they showed up unannounced. Okay yes we didn't tell them that we were living together but I mean come on. Would you? You know how they are, you probably know better than any of us. That's why you're reading this.
After that Tamaki slowly came back to us and then asked me a million questions. Then he tried to wake Kyoya up to go to some fair. Not a good decision my dude.
After that whole thing they managed to drag Kyoya out and went to the fair. I wasn't paying attention to the other guys when they talked about where they were going because I was sitting down on a bench where Kyoya was placed down by Tamaki. I just looked at him sleeping, his neck looked tired so I let him rest his head on my head by leaning on his shoulder. The height difference would have made Kyoya super uncomfortable if he just leaned on my shoulders. As I was leaning, I felt tired all of a sudden. Maybe I woke up too early. I slowly drifted off to sleep. I had a nightmare, ugghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh fml.
It was a memory. I was in front of the pit of darkness staring down into the void. The darkness. My worst enemy. I felt my stomach twist and I felt as if I would throw up. The dark pit seemed to rumble with dark beating. Like a heartbeat. I watched into the pit as my two best friends fell into the darkness and I could hear myself scream as someone held me back from going in. This was when the dream started to change from a memory. That person who held me back was shaking me and before I knew it I was awake. I had tears in my eyes but judging by how people weren't staring, I probably hadn't screamed. In front of me Kyoya was looking at me with worried eyes.
"Are you okay?" He asked.
"Uhh.. Yeah, yeah.. I'm.. I'm fine. I- I just had a nightmare. Demigods do that sometimes. Oh! Did I wake you up I'm sorry." I replied.
"No. It's quite alright. I already woke up before you started having your nightmare." He said. "By the way, where are we?"
"Oh yeah. I tried to stop him but he and the rest of them wouldn't listen to me. The host club dragged you to a commoner's fair."
"Well I don't have any money or my phone." He said.
"Well we could try looking for them. Or.. Haruhi? Is that you?" I called to Haruhi.
"Oh what are you guys doing here?" She asked.
"Oh well Kyoya was dragged out here by the host club and my mind was too wonky to remember to bring anything." I replied.
"Haruhi, how much do you have on you right now?" Kyoya asked. That's how we ended up going to a fast food restaurant and eating some burgers.
Haruhi was surprised to see Kyoya's non-host side of him, while I was not phased because well, while I was living with him I saw that side more often than the Host side. Haruhi caught onto how I wasn't phased and asked how I was so nonchalant about this. I simply said that I knew this side because I was living with him, and Haruhi almost choked on the drink she was having. Kyoya smirked while this happened. I explained further and Haruhi just nodded.
After that whole thing was over, we went to shop a little. After a bit of looking around we heard a woman gush over a vase that was supposed to have been made by a famous potter. I thought the guy was a little sketchy, but didn't have any proof of the matter so I looked away. Then I saw Kyoya approached the old woman and the man who was selling, and declared that it was a fake with excellent evidence and some threatening. The woman thanked him many times before leaving. Haruhi says that helping the woman was out of character for him. He simply responds that he saw her ring that was a sign of a family that the Ootori's do business with. I found that hard to believe since we couldn't see the woman from where we were standing. I guess I did learn something new about Kyoya today. I had to admit, I was starting to really feel something for this guy. The rest of the day was a fun event overall and Tamaki got a new dog.
So that's another one done. I read the reviews. Thank you so much for your suggestions. I hope you enjoyed! Please review! Thank you! Also the ! was that feeling that everyone gets but can't describe in words. Like panic so panicky that you can't express at all.
