Chapter 3:
Hesitantly he folded his arms around her, one by her waist, the other he placed over her shoulders. "Sssshhhh, Haruhi…" He whispered and stroked her hair.
He smiled at its softness.
"Ssshhh… Nothing to be afraid of… Relax…Ssshhhh…"
He held his breath as he felt a tear escape Haruhi's eyes and fall down on his chest.
"I'm… I'm… I'm sorry." He heard Haruhi whisper into his chest.
"For what?" He asked. "For… For…"
The sobs ran through her small frame. He instinctively pressed her a bit closer. "For wa… waking you up." She hiccupped and curled herself closer to his side.
She tensed a little as a small thunder rolled outside.
"It's ok. Don't worry." He whispered back, letting his hand rest on the top of her back.
"Are… Are you sure?" She lifted her head, supporting herself on her one elbow and looked at him while she left her other hand rest over his waist. Tears trickled down from her big brown eyes and Kyouya smiled warmly.
He let his one hand travel up to her cheek and gently brushed away a few of the tears with his thumb. "Yes. I'm sure."
"Even though you won't gain anything from me waking you up?" She tried to joke and smiled weakly.
He smiled back at her and watched a few new tears make their way down her stained cheeks.
The rain started to pound on the windows.
"I don't want to gain anything from this, other than the pleasure of being in your company." He intertwined his fingers with her hair in the neck and gently tugged her downwards while he slowly leaned up to cover the distance between them.
Haruhi gasped as he placed his lips on her right cheek, kissing away one, two of her salty tears before tilting her head so that he could get to the other cheek, kissing away the tears there too.
"Kyouya… senpai…" She stammered as he retracted his head enough to look at her without his vision getting blurry. "I… I…" She sat up on her knees very confused about what had just happened and placed her hands in a small cross over her chest while blushing furiously.
He followed her and kept her eyes trapped in his as he gently placed his thumb and index finger on her chin before leaning in, his eyes slowly closing, covering her lips with his. She marvelled at how soft they were as she closed her eyes, hesitantly opening her lips for his tongue to travel inside.
Kyouya took the opportunity she had given him and stroked her tongue with his, knowing from the info he had gathered about her that this would be the first real kiss she's ever had.
He was gentle and soft in his exploration of her mouth and it seemed to her that he transferred all his feelings into the kiss, to show her how much she meant to him. She could feel the warmth spread throughout her body at the thought and she found herself responding to the kiss.
She relaxed and felt her arms slide down, placing them around Kyouya's neck, ever so hesitantly.
He embraced her and sank back onto the pillow slowly before the need for air made them pull apart, him opening his arms, showing that she was free to stay and free to go. He showed with a slow nod that he would accept her decision, no matter what it was.
Without a word or hesitation, she made herself comfortable in the nook of his arm, snuggling into his chest, her eyes half-lidded and her cheeks flushed.
Kyouya smiled and looked outside at the dark clouds. A lightning bolt tore up the sky and Haruhi flinched in Kyouya's grasp.
"I'm here, Haruhi. Relax, close your eyes and go to sleep now. You've had a long and hard day and evening. I will still be here when you wake up in the morning."
He pulled her slightly up so that he could kiss the top of her head.
"I'll keep you safe from the storm." He said clearly as he let her glide down into her initial position. She curled herself together, bringing her legs closer to herself.
Kyouya, understanding that she was beginning to freeze, gripped the cover and pulled it away from under her and threw it over both of them. He felt that Haruhi relaxed and let her legs slide into a more comfortable position.
"Good night, Haruhi…" She pulled him closer with the hand she had resting across his waist.
"Thank you… and good night… Kyouya…" She replied as she drifted into sleep, Kyouya following shortly after.
