Chapter 22
The festival was filled with many students and parents. Even those from neighboring schools came. The whole campus had been set for a Christmas theme, which was in two days from now. It was decorated from the entrance, to the open field in the back, and even inside. There were all kinds of events and food set up in individual stands.
All clubs, including the host club, pitched in to make this marvelous festival for everyone. The place looked even more elegant with the Christmas feeling it gave. The festival was packed with many people who are all excited to attend.
The inside was mainly for clubs hosting a restaurant like event. That was were the host club was.
All the hosts had sent up a very fancy restaurant where all the girls went to eat. It was mainly, definitely, because of all the beautiful men they would be surrounded by. The hosts were waiters and they took care of taking orders and attending the customers.
Haruhi, the only one who wasn't a waiter like the rest, dedicated herself in working in the kitchen. Everything went smoothly at first, with plenty of waiters and Haruhi as a cook. And everyone enjoyed eating there. But word seemed to get out from the previous customers and the amount of people gradually increased.
With seven hosts as waiters the customers still didn't have to wait long to be assisted, even as they increased. But with only Haruhi in the kitchen everything runned slow and the meals weren't prepared as fast as they should have been.
No one complained about the delay, but the hosts noticed how much Haruhi started to struggle. And it's not like Renge could help her with her own costume stand she built.
It wasn't until Haruhi started mixing up orders that Izumi stepped into the kitchen and put on an apron over his black and white uniform.
"Sorry." Haruhi apologized as they both cooked up the orders.
"It's alright. Besides, I prefer being in here rather than attending them." Izumi admitted, causing Haruhi to laugh as she understood.
With Izumi now working with Haruhi, everything got back to its original pace. There were short breaks every now and then for the host club members, but it wasn't until mid-afternoon that they closed up the restaurant they built to enjoy the winter festival for themselves.
Izumi smiled happily as he put on his hoodie again, changing out of the waiter's uniform. He wrapped a scarf around his neck and stepped out, going to the back of the school to view everything.
The lighting and decorations around made the campus beautiful and glow brightly as the sun went down. In the center of the field there was an enormous Christmas tree where many people went to take pictures.
Izumi was just mindlessly walking around and looking at everything while the others went off to do the same. He was studying the sculptures of Santa Claus and his sleigh that the pottery club had made, when he saw a flash out of the corner of his eye.
Izumi blinked in discomfort and turned his head towards it. But he couldn't see anything out of the ordinary other than a few people taking pictures of the sculpture. Izumi frowned, thinking it must have been them, and just walked away.
Still, he couldn't shake off the nagging feeling that he was being watched. At first Izumi just thought he was being paranoid, but then he noticed the flash to his side again when he was talking to a few girls. But once again he did not see anything when he looked. And he would've almost growled at that until Yuka spoke up.
"What's wrong Izumi?" she asked, oblivious to what happened.
Izumi just shook head. "It's nothing." he said, giving her and the other girls a smile.
But now Izumi was more alert than ever, knowing for sure someone was watching him and taking pictures. He constantly looked around him to make sure nothing was there, but he never found anything, and it frustrated him.
Whenever he let his guard down, even if it was just a little, there was a flash. And again Izumi found nothing when he looked.
He was beginning to become uncomfortable with the situation and wanted nothing more than to just leave the festival. By the time he actually considered it someone had called his name out. Izumi turned and saw it was Kaoru waving him over, a big grin displayed on his face.
Izumi immediately forgot about the problem he was having and walked up to him.
The boys were talking and walking around together. Izumi's unease slowly went away as he saw how carefree everyone looked. From a distance he spotted Tamaki walking together with Haruhi. Then there was another flash as both Izumi and Kaoru laughed together.
Izumi halted his laughter and glared to the side, pissed that they still didn't leave him alone.
"Izumi?"
He turned back to the auburn haired and noticed the worried look. Izumi shook his head and smiled.
Kaoru looked around and made sure that none of the other students or hosts were watching them. He grabbed Izumi's hand and smirked slyly when he blushed.
"Come on." Kaoru said and started pulling them away. Izumi tilted his head at that but didn't say anything. He just followed silently to wherever the boy was taking him.
They both walked around the school until they found an unoccupied side where there was not one person or decoration to be found. It was completely silent and dark where they were and they knew no one would find them here.
Knowing no one would find them calmed Izumi down, thinking about the person following him. And as his discomfort went away Kaoru reached up and kissed him. His hands entangling themselves on the long black hair.
"You need a haircut." Kaoru mumbled against Izumi's lips before they continued their open-mouth kiss. Izumi just hummed back and pressed the boy slightly on the wall of the school.
While Izumi and Kaoru got carried away, despite knowing they were still in public, there were several flashes from a distance. That person that was following Izumi found them, and they were taking advantage of the situation.
Izumi, with his eyes closed, was oblivious to the flashes and pushed Kaoru further on the wall. He shifted his knee between Kaoru's legs and pressed.
Kaoru moaned and buried his head on Izumi's neck, feeling hands slide up his shirt and caress his back.
Izumi was about to pull back to kiss him again when he saw another flash. His eyes widened and he abruptly turned that way. But their surroundings were hard to see from the lack of light.
Still Izumi kept his eyes in the same spot and growled lowly. There was some shuffling in the distance and Izumi let go of Kaoru and walked closer.
He couldn't find anything, no one was there. Probably left already, he thought. Izumi ruffled his hair in frustration and went back to Kaoru.
"What's wrong?" Kaoru questioned, noticing how strange the raven haired was being.
"Nothing. Just my imagination." Izumi replied with a sigh.
Kaoru frowned but let it go. He grabbed Izumi's hand and dragged him over to the back entrance of the school. It took a while but they eventually reached the roof.
They both sat in the bench that had a nice full view of the festival. Kaoru shivered a little at the breezy cool air. It was so much colder at night. Izumi noticed and scooted closer to him.
Kaoru smiled thankfully and laid his head on his shoulder, reaching out a hand and grabbing Izumi's. Their fingers entwined together. Kaoru loved how perfectly it felt to hold Izumi's hand.
Izumi blushed in embarrassment and was grateful Kaoru couldn't see his face. Holding hands isn't something that Kaoru and him ever did. It was strange but he enjoyed how it made them seem more like couple than ever. So despite being embarrassed Izumi smiled lightly and stared ahead.
After a few minutes of silence everyone down at the festival started cheering and clapping, doing a count down in unison.
"9!"
"8!"
Kaoru laughed, "It's about to start."
"7!"
"This is stupid." Izumi mumbled.
"6!"
"It's not like we're celebrating anything."
"5!"
"Well this is Ouran." Kaoru giggled and they both looked up at the sky.
"4!"
"3!"
Everyone was looked expectantly up at the sky as they counted down.
"2!"
But Izumi and Kaoru were on the roof for the best view.
"1!"
There was a moment of silence before fireworks shot up from far and exploded in the sky. Everyone cheered and laughed, taking pictures and videos of the show.
Kaoru stared in awe at the fireworks before picking up his head and glancing at Izumi. The raven haired was looking up at the sky and his eyes sparkled with the light of the fireworks.
Kaoru leaned over and kissed Izumi's cheek. The boy looked over and stared at Kaoru for a second, and then they kissed chastely.
The boy in the picture was all blurred-up. You could barely even tell who it was. The woman snarled and threw it on the floor, looking at the next one under it. It was also blurry. And the one after that was as well.
The woman picked her head up and stared at the man who took them, giving him a look. She wanted an explanation. The man stepped back a little in fear.
"M-milady, the boy. He- he kept moving every time I tried." the man reasoned, speaking to her in English. "He kept turning and staring my way."
The woman's eyes narrowed. "Did he see you?" she asked.
The man shook his head, "No milady. I hid whenever he looked over."
"But he noticed."
"Yes."
The woman glared at him and kept looking at the pictures. "What am I going now. I can't use anything here!" She threw more pictures on the floor as she looked them over.
She paused when she saw a picture of the black haired boy with another boy. "What is this? I thought I told you I wanted him alone." she snarled.
The man perked up at that. "Ah! Actually milady, if you keep..." the man trailed off and made passing movements with his hands.
The woman raised an eyebrow and turned to the next. Her eyes immediately lit up.
"Oh I see." she chuckled out, studying the picture of the two boys kissing. She looked over the rest and nodded.
"This is excellent. I'll forgive you for the useless ones." The man sighed in relief at that.
As she kept looking the man spoke up. "Milady that boy, is he by any chance your son?"
The woman's face twisted in disgust. "That disgusting orphan is not my son!" she shouted.
"F-forgive me milady."
The woman sighed and glanced over at the pictures.
"But I want you to take more pictures of this boy now." The woman said pointing a finger at the lighter haired one.
The man fidgeted a little. "Um milady, that won't be easy."
When the woman narrowed her eyes the man added, "I-it's just that I noticed that boy had a twin at the festival. I cannot tell them apart."
"Then take pictures of them both. And I want them focused on their face."
The man nodded, "Yes milady."
"Also, more of them two together." she said indicating to the picture in her hand. "And do not let them notice you. Understood?"
"Yes milady."
"Leave."
With that the man grabbed his camera and left the room.
The woman picked up two pictures. One where the two boys were laughing and the one with them kissing. She walked over to a bulletin board and pinned the pictures together, next to another picture that was there previously.
"So you have a little boyfriend, do you?" she teased out loud, speaking in Japanese this time.
"You never learn Izumi." the woman sighed. But that's alright. I'll just have to teach you again.
She laughed darkly. I'll take everything away from you Izumi. I'll destroy what little you have and I'll break you down until nothing can keep you sane anymore.
She looked over at the other picture on the board, the one that was there before. It was a picture of another black haired boy. The woman smirked and took out her phone, dialing a number.
"There's someone I want you to locate." she said, looking at the picture of Luke that was taken a few months ago.
Izumi sighed and looked over to his side, noticing the pouting auburn haired sitting down like he was. "Stop pouting." he repeated once again.
Kaoru opened his eyes and glared, Izumi just stared back blankly. "We're supposed to be meditating so relax, you're too stiff." he scolded, earning another pout.
"You promised me a date." Kaoru muttered.
"I know, and we will go on one, but not until after Christmas."
Kaoru sighed out loudly and folded his arms. "Why does it have to be after?"
"Because I said so."
With that the raven haired closed his eyes and stayed quiet, emptying his head out and letting his body relax. Kaoru kept glaring at him but Izumi never flinched. So he stayed quiet for a few seconds as he thought about what to say next.
"Hey, after our date we can have sex, right?"
Kaoru stared at how Izumi didn't react at first, but then suddenly the boy's face gradually became redder and redder.
"I actually rather do it now, but it's logical to have sex after a date, no?"
"Kaoru!" Izumi growled out, giving him a bewildered look.
Kaoru just shrugged his shoulders at the boy, giving him a questioning look. "What?"
"You can't be serious!"
"Why? Is there something wrong with wanting to have sex with you?" Kaoru frowned, not understanding why Izumi was asking if he was serious. Oh course he's serious. After everything we've done together of course he'd want to.
"There is, we just started going out!"
"Yeah, officially. But we've been doing stuff since over a month already."
"That doesn't mean we have to have sex after one date!"
Kaoru smirked maliciously and crawled over to Izumi, straddling him down over his lap when he did. Izumi gave him a bewildered look and blushed heavily.
"I want to." Kaoru purred his voice seductively. "Do you not want to?" he asked, pouting a little.
Izumi didn't know how to even response to that before Kaoru leaned forward, and smashed their lips together.
"Kaoru's in the dojo with Izumi. Just go out that door." Ryuu guided, pointing a finger at the glass door that lead to the backyard.
Hikaru thanked him and walked outside, heading towards the dojo. He was there to pick up Kaoru.
"Oi Kaoru!" Hikaru called out loudly as he slid open the door.
Hikaru figured there would probably be times where he catches Izumi and Kaoru kissing, but he didn't expect to catch them while they were doing something more intimate than that.
They were kissing on the floor, but with Izumi's hand gripping Kaoru's cock it was clear it wasn't just kissing. Izumi's white top was open as he hovered over Kaoru, whose top was also open and his pants were down around his thighs.
Hikaru stared at them for a few seconds before his face turned red and he stuttered out, "S-s-sorry I-I'll leave!" And he shut the door immediately.
Izumi wasn't sure if he should go after the other twin or continue what they were doing. But Kaoru's loud whine and thrusting hips made Izumi dive down and kiss the boy on the floor again.
Kaoru moaned as Izumi's hand started pumping his member, and yanked on the long strands of raven hair, pressing their mouths together. Izumi hummed back at the rough treatment.
Honestly, Izumi couldn't control himself around Kaoru. And it scared him a little. Especially now that he knew Kaoru wanted to have sex already.
Having sex wasn't something Izumi was comfortable with. He tried to do it with Luke but it never worked out. Izumi would always either chicken out at last minute or panic when Luke reassured him it was okay.
Maybe that's why he left. Izumi had often thought. Because he got tired of me. And although he tried to convince himself it was because of his father and not that, it would always linger in his mind as a 'what if'. What if he ended up doing it with Luke? Would they be separated then? Would he not be with Kaoru if that happened?
But as Izumi looked down at the flushed face of the auburn haired he knew separating from Luke was for the best. He probably wouldn't have been able to actually be with Kaoru. He would've probably lost his mind by then.
And although the break up was a painful experience, both mentally and physically, it was worth it in a way. It's been two years since then and he never once saw Luka again. Izumi doesn't even know where he's even at. He forbid Liviya from finding out.
But in those two years Izumi's been able to get over Luke. Then he met Kaoru and fell in love with him. And it's not like he hates Luke or anything, but whatever he felt for him isn't the same as what he feels for Kaoru. The love is almost stronger for the auburn haired.
He wasn't sure if he didn't really love Luke as much as he thought he did or if it was because they constantly had the problem with Izumi's father. Still Izumi knows he loves Kaoru now and he wouldn't want it a different way.
Everything was easier now that his father passed away. But would he be able to actually have sex?
Izumi stared down at the trembling body underneath him. Kaoru gasped and closed his eyes at the firm stroke on his cock. His white pants and boxers were taken off fully, his legs wide open as Izumi sat between them.
Izumi looked at how much Kaoru's body was affected from his touches. His sweat was glistening everywhere even in the slightly cold dojo. His face was flushed, his eyes were half-lidded, and his breathing was quivering. The smell of Kaoru's arousal drove Izumi highly insane.
All in all it made Izumi's erection throb painfully in its cramped place.
Yet knowing how much he himself was affected by Kaoru struck a bit of fear in him, and Izumi knew he was still not ready to have sex. What they were doing right now was as far as he could go. Just foreplay. He'd probably panic like before if they tried to have sex.
So Izumi hoped that Kaoru wouldn't bring it up again after this.
Izumi shook his head and smashed his lips to Kaoru's. The boy moaned and yanked Izumi closer.
Ugh, this stats glitch is pissing me off.
If any of you(that are writing a story) haven't been seeing any views in the stats for a few days don't worry. It's just a glitch.
I've been getting followers and reviews just fine but with the glitch I can't see views.
Apparently a lot of people are having the same problem.
PLEASE REVIEW, FOLLOW, AND FAVORITE \(^.^)/
