Alright, new chapter.
It's rather short I know, but after this chapter things start to get more serious I think, meaning that hopefully the chapters will get longer and Kyoya and Haruhi's relationship is going to grow slowly and subtly. After all that's how I imagine they would fall in love, really slowly. lol or maybe that's just me?
Please enjoy!
Kyoya leaned back in his leather chair as rain battered harshly against the windows. Storms, he thought, were strong and powerful, a show case of Mother Nature's true prowess. It was beautiful and yet truly fearsome, all at once.
Kyoya liked storms.
Apparently though, Haruhi didn't.
The moment she appeared in the doorway to bring Kyoya the first coffee of the evening he could see she shook. She even, much to his amusement, uttered a tiny squeak when there was a particularly loud roll of thunder above head. Still shaking she poured the coffee, somehow managing to spill of half of it over the tray, apologising profusely she moped up the mess and hurried out of the room as lightning lit up the sky.
"You're astraphobic. " Kyoya stated when she spilt his coffee for the fourth time that evening. She unconsciously stuck her lower lip in an annoyed pout.
"I have-"
"An abnormal and persistent fear of thunderstorms."
"I-"
"Experience great anxiety even though you know the risk is very small," her pout became more pronounced. Kyoya smirked.
"Even so, that is none of your business," she said curtly and gathered up the tray she made for the door.
There was a crack of thunder so loud even Kyoya jumped slightly. His gaze was drawn towards the window as the sky outside it lit up, making ghostly shadows on the clouds and lightning leapt playfully among them.
When he looked back the coffee tray lay askew on the table top and Haruhi had disappeared.
Kyoya rose and walked over to the wardrobe that sat contentedly in one corner. Idly he wondered why he had agreed to let Fuyumi decorate his study.
Kyoya opened the door and found one Haruhi Fujioka.
"I do believe Fujioka-san, that when you hide in my wardrobe due to this phobia it does become my business."
The next day Haruhi received a parcel in the mail. In it was a book called 'Astraphobia and You'.
There was no return address.
