Sayuri P.O.V
No, no this isn't happening. I hurried over to the side of my bed and looked for my phone under my pillow. Tears were running down my cheeks and I could hardly make anything out. I felt around for a few seconds and was finally able to grab hold of it. I wiped my blurry eyes and flipped it open. Kyoya. I pressed the call button as hard as I could and pressed the phone against my ear. Please answer Kyo, please.
"Hello?" A muffled voice came from the other end. I had woken him up. I breathed deeply for a moment trying to calm myself down before speaking.
"Come over. Please." I begged him. I didn't want to leave my house, I didn't want to leave my room, I just wanted to lay here and cry. None of this was fair. Once everything starts falling into place they start falling right back out.
"On my way." He responded in a much clearer tone than before. The phone beeped meaning he had hung up.
I sat on my bed with tear stained cheeks trying to pull myself together before he got here. None of this made any sense to me. Everything was okay yesterday, and the day before. There were no signs of anything happening. There are always signs of bad things happening in this house hold. Always. Why was now any different? There was a knock on my door. There's no possible way he got here that fast.
"Sayuri-Sama, would you like some tea?" Maho asked as she creaked open my door. I shook my head.
"No, i'm okay. Kyoya-Senpai is coming over. Just let him in, I have a headache." I instructed her. She nodded and left the room. I got up from the bed and dimmed the lights. Today was the absolute worst day of my life.
My door was pushed open violently and shut in the same manner. I looked up from my fort of blankets to see Kyoya walk into my room and stare down at me. He sat down on the floor and without saying anything, he engulfed me and all of my blankets in a hug. We sat there for a while just like that. I couldn't stop the tears from rolling down my cheek or onto his shirt. I broke the hug and shimmied the blankets off of me. When I opened my mouth to speak Kyoya cut me off.
"I know what happened. You don't have to talk about it." He emptied his mouth out. I nodded and gave him a small smile.
"Thank you. I'm sorry for waking you up."
"Don't be. I told you to call me if you ever needed me." He smiled back at me. I loved when he genuinely smiled. It made me feel so warm.
"I just didn't want to be alone. I'm so sad and I don't know how to handle myself right now. I just feel absolutely miserable." I sobbed. He positioned himself beside me and wrapped an arm around my shoulder, pulling me closer to him.
"I promise it'll be okay. I know what you're going through, and time will heal most of it. I promise you'll make it through this though." Kyoya said squeezing my shoulder.
"I don't even want to physically move anymore." I mumbled on.
"What movie are you thinking? Disney or are you more into those romance movies?" I furrowed my brows and looked up at the boy who was scrolling down his phone.
"What?"
"I'm about to call and order a movie for your tv, movies make everyone feel a little better. I've always liked Peter Pan." He didn't even break eye contact with his phone. I smiled a little and nodded.
"Peter Pan sounds perfect." I agreed. His eyes shot down to me and he smiled.
"You look better with a smile. I don't like seeing you upset." He commented and put the phone to his ear.
So that's what we did for the next 5 hours of my life. We watched Disney movies. It wasn't until I heard his stomach growl did I stop to think about the last time I had eaten. Ramen sounded good, but I didn't want take out.
"Hey Kyoya." I said as I paused the entrance for Hercules.
"Hm?" He looked down at his lap where my head rested.
"Chicken or beef?"
"Excuse me?"
"Just choose one." I rolled my eyes and sat up.
"Beef." He said with a look of confusion.
"You stay here. I'll be back in about 7 minutes." I stood up and left my room in a hurry. I wonder if he's ever had packaged ramen?
"It's been 9 minutes." Was the first thing I heard when I opened the door to my room.
"Oh hush. I made us food." I said sitting down two bowls of packaged ramen on the floor in front of him.
"What is this?"
"Ramen. Packaged ramen. I made you beef with cajun powder because I know you like spicy foods." I sat beside him and smiled. "And there's bottled water in the mini fridge."
"I could have ordered us take out." He walked over to the fridge and grabbed two bottles of water.
"I know, but I don't want take out." I told him. I started eating the ramen and looked outside. "What time are you going home Kyo?" He looked out the window as well and shrugged.
"Probably after this movie. But when I get home i'm calling you."
"Why?"
"Because I know how you're going to get after I leave. You're going to get sad and you won't go to sleep tonight. I'll call you until you fall asleep." He instructed and starting eating the food.
"And just how in the world do you know all of this?" I smiled and said in a sarcastic tone. I looked at him and could tell he was thinking about something.
"I lost my mother when I was 10." He said quickly and sighed afterwards. My face fell.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean t.."
"It's fine. It was seven years ago, i'm honestly okay." Kyoya responded and continued eating. I never knew anything about him losing his mother. I thought I knew almost everything about him.
Kyoya P.O.V
"Hey, why isn't Tamaki-Senpai or Sayuri at school today?" I heard Haruhi ask when she first opened the doors to the club room.
"You don't know.." Hikaru started to answer her
"What happened yesterday?" Kaoru finished his brothers sentence.
"Uh uh. What happened?" Haruhi asked. I was writing down arrangements for the club during this upcoming week. It was clear we'd be without both of them for the rest of it anyways.
"Sayuri's mom was in a terrible accident and she passed away." Hikaru explained. They really shouldn't be airing her business like that, but it was all over the news.
"Yeah, we didn't find out until last night and Sayuri's phone was busy when we tried calling her and she hasn't answered our texts today either." Kaoru carried on.
"Well, why is Tamaki-Senpai out too?"
"Tama-Chan and Say-Chan grew up together. They're like best friends, so I guess Tama-Chan is pretty upset about it too." Honey chimed in.
"So are we still carrying on with the host club this week?" I noticed all eyeballs were on me.
"Are we Kyoya-Senpai?" Hikaru inquired.
"Yeah, you are technically in charge now with Tamaki not being here." That's right. I am. Damn.
"Not for today. We will tomorrow though." I started thinking about it. Tomorrow is the funeral, she asked me to go. I sighed. "Carry on with normal club duties. I won't be here." I shut my notebook and stood up.
"Wait, who's in charge?" The twins asked in unison. I shrugged and made my way to the door.
"Honey-Senpai." I said and walked down the hallway. I heard a pair of shoes clicking behind me.
"Hey! Senpai wait!" Haruhi's voice carried through the empty halls. "Hey." She said more quietly as she caught up to me. "I know you'd know, is she okay?" Haruhi asked with wondering eyes. I clenched my jaw.
"I was with her yesterday. She's obviously distraught and very upset. Tamaki has been with her all day today though."
"Are you going to see her today?"
"For a moment." I responded.
"Will you tell her to message or call me? I understand if she doesn't, but please, she's one of my best friends and I feel terrible that I was the only one who didn't know." Haruhi stopped walking and looked outside at the rain.
"I will."
"Thank you Senpai." She smiled at me. I nodded and continued walking out into the rain. "Oh, and Senpai." Haruhi started again. I heard the pitter patter of feet splashing and two arms wrapped around me. I looked behind me and Haruhi had embraced me in a hug. Why? "Thank you for being there for her yesterday..I know she's probably told you that a million times, but she really means a lot to me, and I know she needed you." The girl let me go and I turned around to fully face her. "You're really important to her Kyoya-Senpai. I'm sure you know that by now, but she thinks a lot about you and i'm glad you showed up." I watched the rain fall on her face and pulled out my phone. Her face morphed into confusion and I held a finger up to silence her.
"Come over here. My rides coming, i'm sure she'd love to see you, that's where i'm heading right now." I pulled her arm over to the sidewalk. Her eyes widened in shock.
"No, I don't want to intrude and it's not my place to ju.."
"I'm bringing you. Tamaki could probably use some cheering up too." I interrupted her. The limousine pulled around and we got in right away.
Sayuri P.O.V
Tamaki and I played piano almost all day today. We took small breaks to listen to new music and eat, but neither of us had talked much. It was a very silent and rainy day. This was one of the only days I had ever been around Tamaki without laughing. I hated today. Today was the second worst day of my life. I looked up at the clock and realized school was out. That meant Kyoya should be on his way.
"Hey, Kyoya just messaged me asking what you wanted we wanted to eat because you aren't answering your phone." Tamaki said from the other side of the piano.
"Tell him it's in my room charging. Um, I don't know. Fried rice sounds good to me if he just wants to get take out." I answered him. I watched him looked down at his phone and begin typing. "But tell him from that one place by the stuffed animal shop. The one with that sells rubber chopsticks. He'll know what you're talking about." I added in. Tamaki nodded and continued to type.
"So you two seem to be pretty close." Tamaki commented after shutting his phone. I nodded.
"Yeah, I guess."
"I mean, you and Kyoya seem to be getting pretty cozy in the host club lately." Tamaki started teasing.
"Quit it. We're only friends. I have absolutely no feelings for him." I scoffed and walked out of the room. What is it with people thinking Kyoya and I have a thing.
"I know he likes you." Tamaki ran after me.
"Oh really?" I questioned him sarcastically.
"Well, it's not really a fact but I have an idea." He whined. I walked into my room and sat at my vanity.
"Why are you doing your makeup gorgeous? Is it because your crush is coming over?" Tamaki teased while twirling his fingers through my hair. This was the most lively he had been all day.
"No you idiot. I'm doing it because I want to. Kyoya's seen me with my hair an absolute mess and puffy eyes, I could care less about what he thinks of my looks." I can't believe he actually thinks I care about that kind of stuff. I just don't want to look like a total drag this time.
"Well i'm glad you aren't too worried princess, because a limousine just pulled around." I smiled to myself. I grabbed a brush and quickly ran it through my nappy hair. "You seem pretty excited." Tamaki gave me a knowing smile. I smiled back at him and grabbed my phone off the charger.
Kyo- What do you want to eat?
Kyo- Say-chan? Are you ever going to answer me?
Kyo- It'd be nice to get a text back every once in a while.
Kyo- Whatever, i'm messaging Tamaki. I've already tried calling you more than enough.
Woops. I guess I should start checking my phone. I didn't ignore him on purpose though. Not like i'm doing with the twins. The door opened and I looked up. I noticed someone else was following him though. Haruhi.
"Hey!" I exclaimed and ran over to her. I wrapped my arms around her instinctively. "I've missed you!" She smiled back at me and laughed.
"I've missed you too."
"I've missed you too Haruhi!" Tamaki ran over and started pouting. She laughed at him and gave him a hug too. I turned to face Kyoya and smiled at him.
"Thank you." I said as he set down the food.
"Oh, it wasn't a big deal. They weren't as busy as usual. Probably because of the rain." I shook my head and he scrunched up his eyebrows.
"Thanks for that too, but I meant for bringing Haruhi." I said in a somewhat hushed tone. I walked over and gave him a light hug. That's when I realized how wet my clothes started to get. "You two are soaking wet!" I scolded them. "You guys could catch a cold!"
"Hm. I suppose we are pretty wet." Kyoya commented grabbing the bottom of his coat. I grabbed him by the arm and drug him into my bathroom.
"Stay. I'll be back." I shoved him down on a bench and marched back into my room. I opened my top drawer and found my overly large t-shirts. I grabbed two out. Hm. Kyoya's much taller than me. I opened my pants drawer and picked out a pair of pajama pants for Haruhi and a pair of sweatpants that never fit me for Kyoya. I smiled and walked back into the bathroom. My eyes widened and my face heated up. He was shirtless. It wasn't exactly the first time i've seen him shirtless but it was still always a shocker. He looked up and smirked.
"You okay?" He moved closer to my face and I looked away nodding rapidly. I shoved the shirt and sweatpants at him. He unfolded both of them and folded them right back up. "Thank you, but i'm afraid you're clothes are entirely too small." My mouth hung open.
"How? That tshirt is way too big for me! And those pants are so long! I've only tried them on and stepped on them the whole time." He laughed a little and pushed his glasses up.
"You're barely five foot Sayuri. Everything is big on you." He sat the clothes on the counter.
"I'm not that short!" I complained.
Kyoya P.O.V
"So are you offended by that comment?" I asked knowing it would only make her more mad.
"Yes! Because it isn't true!" She stuck her tongue out. She looked really attractive when she was angry.
"Right. Well, my pants aren't too wet. They'll dry on their own."
"Whatever. I don't care what you're wearing. You're still just Kyoya, now come on." She said grabbing my hand and dragging me out. "Okay Haruhi! I got you a dry shirt and some pajama pants to put on. I really don't want you getting sick!" Sayuri told Haruhi but never let go of my hand.
"Thanks Say-Chan." She smiled and walked past us to the bathroom.
"I'm so glad you brought my little girl to see me today! I've missed her so much!" Tamaki awed over her as she walked away.
"It's been a day." I sighed. I noticed Tamaki eyeballing me. "Is there a problem?" He shook his head.
"No, I just noticed that um.." He trailed off. "Well, I just happened to see that you two are holding hands." He smiled and scratched the back of his head nervously. Sayuri immediately let go of my hand and brought it to her chest. I noticed she was blushing, but why?
"I was just dragging him out of the bathroom..." She mumbled and looked down.
Sayuri P.O.V
I can't believe I forgot to let his hand go.
"I see. Well, no matter." Tamaki smiled. "Today's gotten more cheerful now that we have our friends here. Right princess?" He asked rushing over to me. I shrugged. Not really.
"I guess."
Author's OTHER note ;)
Well, I really like this chapter. It's super sad and everything but idk, I really like it. My super strong head canon for Kyoya is that his mother died at a young age and ye... But, anywho! I may be posting a crack version of this... It was something a friend of mine came up with and it sounds like a good idea. It's basically what runs through my head while i'm writing. I hope you all enjoyed this chapter! I promise more to come!
