Chapter 4: morning
Haruhi slowly woke up the next morning to the singing of birds. She stretched herself to reach and pick up the black mobile she found on the nightstand next to the bed.

It was 7 am. The Host Club weren't supposed to go home until later in the day.

She sighed and put it back down, settling back in the bed, closing her eyes in hope of catching a few more z's.

But then she opened them again.

This wasn't her room!

She blinked a few times.

Then she remembered, she had walked into Kyouya's room to seek comfort due to her fear of the thunder.

And she ended up being kissed for real for the first time and falling asleep in his arms. That is where she was now.

She touched her lips gingerly, a ghost of a kiss still lingering.

Kyouya unconsciously snaked his hand back over her side as she moved back into his grasp, to were it was before she moved, both lying on their left side.

She instantly relaxed and even pressed herself a little closer to Kyouya, to feel his soft skin on his chest touch her naked skin on the top of her back.

She never really understood her feelings towards Kyouya but somehow she knew that inevitably she was slowly, but surely, falling in love with him, especially after what happened last night.

She could feel his chest rise and fall in an even rhythm, proving he was still asleep, and without trying, she synchronised her breathing with his.

She smiled as her eyes fluttered close, enjoying the warmth Kyouya radiated and loving the feeling of his arm tightening its grip carefully around her waist.

She was disturbed shortly after, as Tamaki carefully knocked on the door.

"Kyouya? Are you awake?"

She could feel him move behind her. But he didn't respond.

"Kyouya? Why is your door locked?"

Tamaki's voice became higher. Kyouya lifted himself on his one elbow and rested his cheek on Haruhi's upper arm, his eyes half-lidded.

"In case you guys want to wake me too early. Go away, Tamaki. Leave me alone." He growled and then slumped back behind Haruhi.

Tamaki was obviously pleased with the result, said "Ok" and left the door.

"You're not a morning person, eh Kyouya-sen…" Haruhi was cut short by Kyouya placing his fingers on her lips.

"No senpai, please? Just…Just Kyouya." He whispered and kissed her on the base of her neck, sending shivers down her spine and making her hair stand on ends.

She removed his hand and placed it around her stomach again.

"Ok, Kyouya." She replied, her voice shaking ever so slightly.

She felt him smile, since he still had his mouth on her skin, and blushed.

"Have you slept well, Haruhi?" He asked with a deep voice and let his mouth ghost over her skin before he nudged playfully on the shell of Haruhi's ear with his nose.

"Yes. I wouldn't have slept any if I had stayed in my own room. Thank you for letting me stay."

"You're most welcome."

She became worried.

"I haven't deprived any sleep from you, forcing you to keep me company and share the bed?"

He chuckled.

"No need to worry, Haruhi. You haven't deprived me of anything, nor have you forced me to share bed or keep you company. I am a grown and free man you know, capable of making my own decisions."

She sighed relieved, but there were still a few things on her mind.

"About yesterday… What you did before Tamaki-senpai came in…"

He opened his eyes. "Yes?"

"Was it a continuation of Tamaki-senpai's scolding or was it not?"

She held her breath.

"Yes and no." He replied, making Haruhi even more confused.

"Meaning?"

"It means that, yes, a part of it was sort of a follow-up of Tamaki's reprimand. And then a part of it wasn't. It was I being concerned for your wellbeing."
