Last Chapter!!

((The next morning, in class))

Today was partner work again. Kyouya walked over to Hana's desk as soon as the okay was given from the teacher to start working. She hadn't moved. He tapped her shoulder.

"Kitsude-san we need to start working." She looked up at him finally and nodded, her face impossible to read. She had made it expressionless. He put a stack of papers on her desk and brought over a spare chair.

"I've already typed up the written portion. I expect that you will be able to complete the artistic part."

"Yes I think so." She said. It was the first time she had said actual words to him in a couple of days. "My aunt owns an art shop and has lots of supplies. I think i'll be able to get some from her." Hana smiled after she said this.

Kyouya was in awe. He felt warmth inside whenever he saw it. It had rarely been directed at him but he knew that whoever received it felt a similar warmth afterwards.

Hana seemed to sense its affect on him and remained silent for the rest of the period, except for an occasional nod for confirmation or agreement. The bell rang once again. Hana stood up to leave as usual, but felt a tug on her arm.

Kyouya was staring back at her with a serious look on his face. "You should really smile like that more often." And with that he stood up, fixed his glasses, bowed to her, and headed for the host club.

Hana stood there wide-eyed. She clutched her heart again with both hands, closing her eyes. Kaida and Camillia approached her. "Hey Hana-chan want to- Hana-chan? Are you okay?" She didn't reply. A tear streamed down her cheek. She then grabbed her books and ran out of the door. She ran down the hall her heart pounding in her head.

"Why can't I forget him?" Hana looked up to see Kyouya already at the host club door, ready to pull it open.

"KYOUYA-SAN!" She yelled running up to him. "Please, wait." She was practically out of breath. He turned around.

"Kitsude-san?" He asked, hesitantly walking toward her. "Kyouya-san..." she said looking at him but then looking down again.

She sighed, trying to calm her heart and form words. "Kyouya-san...I just couldn't hold it in any more. Ever since the ball, i've felt a pang in my heart whenever I see you. At first I tried to ignore it because I didn't think you thought highly of me but after a while I just..."

Kyouya walked quickly over to her and grabbed her wrist, then pulled her into a tight hug. She gasped and he breathed in her hair. "Silly Hana-chan." Light tears fell down her cheeks again and he wiped them off with his thumbs. " I had always felt different around you. But I tried to forget those feelings after the ball because father had told me to only make friends with you. I quickly realized that that request would be hard to honor."

She smiled into his chest and he continued. "I was glad we were able to work together on the research project."

Silence.

He took that to mean she understood. "Kyouya-kun...?" She asked trying on the suffix. "May I have my pencil back?"

He laughed and hugged her again, handing it to her from his pants pocket. "Let's go to class." He suggested and they broke apart from the embrace, their hands clutching as they walked down the hall.

After the two left the door creaked open a bit to reveal the twins and Tamaki looking out and watching them walk away.

"Are they done?" Hikaru asked.

"I think so." Replied Kaoru. The two grinned and Tamaki smiled.

"Kyouya was finally able to admit his feelings to himself... She's his first love.

OoOoOoOoOo

YAY! It's finished! Actually, I can't believe it's come this far. Once again, thanks to those mentioned earlier. Oh and I believe PancakeLake has a story posted based on our RP on her account so if you liked this, you should check it out. Oh and for those of you who are still waiting on the DexterxNora story...I'm sorry but that's still on hiatus. I'm kind of at a roadblock with that one. So don't expect any updates on that one. This story was actually kind of a fluke.

R&R please! It's always appreciated. But please remember, no flaming!
