Authors Note: I'm back! I wrote this on vacation so be thankful. It's probably one of the longer ones so far. I feel soo bad about my lack of words.

*Kyoya PV*

Well that could have gone better. Haruhi and I hadn't talked about if we were going to keep us a secret or not. Although we didn't really have time and after that outburst from our resident king I doubt we will. A competition? I mean Haruhi is a prize in her own way but even I know she doesn't like being viewed as an object.

"Kyoya?" a soft voice sounded pulling me away from glaring at a retreating blonde figure. My grey eyes flickered to Haruhis face that was watching me. Sighing I slipped my glasses off to rub the bridge of my nose. A nasty habit yet I did it all the time. That idiot had the nerve to call it my signature thing, that and the shadow king grin.

"Thank you for pulling me away from Tamaki-senpia" she said with a warm smile. Was there anything unattractive about this girl? "It was no problem however back to the matter at hand if you please. Tamaki plans to fight me for your heart" I stated. As I was running through various plans in my head to stop him from possibly tearing apart the club I almost missed her response. "It's not a fight, you already have it"

Her words froze any thought or plan I had. Did she really just say that? Is it possible that she cares for me? The possibility had been planted in my head when she kissed me back but I wasn't sure. Isn't that rare? An Ootori not knowing something? I almost laughed but refrained.

"Haruhi" I said softly. When she turned her petite body to face me I wrapped a long arm around her waist and pulled her closer to me. "You've always had a piece of my heart" I murmured with a smile. She felt like the missing piece in my life. I mean we are similar yet different at the same time. She can match my intelligence and wit. We both have as Tamaki calls them demon sides in us. Despite looking boyish she really is pretty and there's no doubt about my looks.

Our differences almost outshine the similarities, almost. She's poor, a commoner even. The same people I have been told are worthless. I'm rich with lots of money and luxuries that she doesn't care about. She's our secret princess and I'm the shadow king. She thinks I'm secretly a good guy whom I like, however isn't true. Like Romeo and Juliet we come from two different worlds. Will they be the death of us?

"Tamaki won't win, I won't let that idiot" I told her after a long period of pause. Eyes widening to the point of looking like a deer in the headlights she tilted her head to look me in the eyes. My next words may have seemed selfish or conceded but I meant every emotion behind them. "Your mine and I don't share."

An almost sly smile slipped across her face as she moved onto her tip toes. Grabbing the collar of my shirt she tugged me level with her. Sparkly brown eyes stared into my own steel resembling eyes as she spoke. We were so close I could feel her hot breath pricking my cold skin and I'm sure she felt mine. 'Good because I don't plan on letting you go that easy Ootori" she whispered against my lips before pressing hers to mine.

Unlike our last kiss that was full of hidden secrets and revelations this one was different. Her warm lips moved with mind were almost like a promise, sealing the deal that is if you want to word it my way. Sweet yet sloppy considering the fact that neither of us were very experienced in this art.

After a few moments we pulled away. The snow still fell around us and I could practically hear Tamaki screaming in the background about his hair. When winter stops coming, I'll stop loving you. One of Tamakis more popular lines floated into my head but it was fitting. Even if I didn't love her yet and would never be caught dead saying something like that I stored the thought away. Instead I pushed my glasses up and brushed hair from the teen in front of me eyes. "Since I never officially asked, will you go out with me Haruhi?"

Her delighted laugh and smile were all the answer I needed for now.

Authors Note: I know it's sappy but I needed to get the beginnings of Kyoyas feelings out. See you all next time
