Hello! Thank you for reading yet another chappy. Okay so this is kind of where things get more interesting and it is where it goes out of the anime.
Another few months passed and it was now almost the New Year. I was trying to juggle practicing and the Host Club activities. The Ouran Host Club was having a new years eve party at the school and all was invited. I bought a beautiful dress for the occasion and I couldn't wait. This New Years was supposed to be special for me because I was planning on telling Kyoya how I felt. We had become very close friends over the last couple of months but then I had started to develop actual feelings for the guy. Every second I spent with him all I could think about was him taking me in his arms, softly calling my name and softly kissing me. It has been hard not to say anything for so long, but it just hadn't been able to come up casually. I certainly had not been brave enough to do it before. I didn't know if I was going to be brave enough on New Years eve. I thought about Kyoya. I thought about his sharp cat-like eyes and his beautiful face and that calm and logical personality of his. When I thought about him I got the courage to do it.
It was New Years Eve and I was in my room all ready for the party. Someone knocked on my room.
"Come in!" I yelled. I was looking at myself in the mirror one last time before leaving. Kyoya came in through the door. He looked at me with eyebrows slightly raised and a slight smile spreading across his face. That fucking smile. It killed me every time. I looked at him a little nervous. "Do I look okay?" I asked looking away from him.
"You look perfect." He said very simply. He didn't add anything to it. He didn't say wow or whatever but I loved that. I loved how he never really added anything to his compliments. He gave them to me straight but I knew he meant every last word.
We drove to the school and we arrived at 6 to get ready for the guests. Since today was mostly just a party I wasn't really a host today. I could be if need be but I wasn't forced to be like poor Haruhi was.
The party started at 7 pm. I was dancing and laughing and having fun. Until it was about 2 minutes before midnight. I looked over at Kyoya and walked over to him. My heart was beating way too hard and it couldn't be healthy. Will, my brother, would have told me to calm down unless I wanted to die from a heart attack. I was now in front of Kyoya.
"Hey. Umm can I tell you something real quick?" I asked. He nodded and I dragged him to a spot in the corner where no one could hear us, and where we could hear each other very easily. "I just wanted to say.. Um. I-I'm sorry.." I chickened out. I ran like hell in my heels and ran towards the exit. I was on the steps of the school. It was a minute to midnight and I actually did feel kind of like Cinderella right now. I stopped running and sat down on the very cold steps. It was super cold but I had to sit because my legs gave out from the running. Okay it gave out because I was nervous to talk to Kyoya okay?! Im a demigod, my ass would have been monster chow by now if my legs gave out that easily.
"Hina?" I heard Kyoya's voice and all the hair on my body stood up. I heard footsteps approaching. Click- clack, click- clack. (You know the sound dress shoes make when guys walk in them.. How do you even describe that?) The footsteps got louder. I abruptly stood up in that moment to just book it again but my legs just would not work. That's why you never stand up too fast after your legs give out. I just fell backwards without being able to do anything except for flailing my arms around and let out a half-assed scream. Then as I was preparing my soul to hit the hard surface of the cold steps, something warm and comfortable grabbed my backside. I opened my eyes to see Kyoya holding me in his arms. That's when I knew I had to say it now. "Kyoya, I like you," 5 "I liked you when I first saw you" 4 "Then I liked you as a friend" 3 "but I like you as more than just a friend." 2 "Kyoya, I like you." 1 "a lot." That's when something happened. Something that I could never forget in a million years. Kyoya Ootori leaned down and kissed me hard on the lips as the clock tower struck midnight. His lips were soft and warm. We kissed lightly but it was explosive. It felt like fireworks were erupting in the pit of my stomach, and as a girl who has only ever felt gut wrenching fear, sadness, anger etc, it was nice to feel a different sensation in my stomach for a change. When we separated I had the biggest grin on my face and Kyoya was also smirking.
"Happy New Year Hina. Now can you stand up? My arm is starting to hurt a little." He said with a smirk.
"Oh yeah sorry." I apologize. Then I did something that even I was surprised by. I kissed him. This time it was deeper and longer. We savored the moment and the feelings. We broke apart and looked deep into each other's eyes.
"Hina, I've also grown to like you. Would you be my girlfriend?" He spoke after a while. I looked into his eyes that held a very genuine expression to them. One I hadn't seen before.
"Yes. Kyoya. I would love to be your girlfriend." I replied. He kissed me again. This time it was soft yet firm and I felt like I was being recharged by sunlight although we were surrounded by darkness. It felt like Kyoya was a bright light that gave me energy and power in a dark cold world. We stayed there for a bit longer before I got too cold and had to go back inside.
