I absolutly love this chapter ^.^

Chapter 16

I couldn't believe it. My heart was having a seizure and I was wide eyed and my mouth was dropped.

"Uh.." That's ALL I could muster up. I didn't know why. "W-why do you think that?" I asked and wanted to kick myself. I couldn't say I think I love you too. Or I KNOW I love you to. I had to ask him why the hell he thought that. Wow I should just die slowly.

"Um.. Well.." Kaoru sounded kind of awkward. "Because Kyoya... You're really the first guy I've really liked... I've never liked a girl this much... I miss you all the time... I'm always thinking about you... I worry about you constantly... I... I want to be with you all the time too..." Kaoru said softly and I covered my mouth.

I stayed quiet for a minute because I was trying to contain myself from the happiness that was bursting inside of my being.

"I-I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that..." Kaoru said and I wiped my eyes. Wow I was crying.

"N-No." I sniffled slightly.

"Kyoya.. Are you crying?" Kaoru asked and I laughed somewhat.

"Shut up. No one has ever told me that before." I said and he waited a moment before speaking.

"No one?" He asked and I sniffled again.

"My sister but that's the length of it." I said and felt really stupid for crying.

"Kyoya..." He said softly then laughed lightly. "That's so cute."

"What's cute?" I asked and he giggled.

"That the comment means so much to you." Kaoru said and I paused.

"Would it not mean that much to you if I said it?" I asked sort of upset and he stopped giggling.

"Kyoya, of course it would mean a lot to me." He said softly and completely honestly.

". . ." I didn't say anything. In fact I didn't know WHAT to say.

"Kyoya I'm sorry if I did something to upset you." Kaoru said softly.

"No Kaoru. You didn't do anything. I'm just... I don't know. There's so much stuff that's going on my emotions are in a jumble. I should be the one apologizing not you." I stated softly.

"No, I should've waited to tell you that when you're going through all of this. I'm sorry." With that Kaoru's dad called him in the background. "I'm sorry Kyoya. I have to go. I promised my dad I'd help him mow the lawn today." He said and I looked down.

"Oh. That's okay.." I said and wanted to say it. It was on the tip of my tongue...

"Bye." He said completely breathless.

"B-bye...." I stuttered. "I love you too!" I cried out but it was to late... He hung up.

I cursed to myself and threw my phone across the room and laid down on my bed. One complicating thing after another. Jeez, can't I get a break?

I sighed and started to do my homework. Math always calmed me down somehow. I didn't know exactly how but whatever.

I was standing next to Honey. We were in the lunch room. Well... He was ordering lunch and I had mine packed and I was waiting for him.

He turned to me with a grin.

"Kay! I got it. So what happened with Kao-chan?" He asked innocently as we sat down at one of the tables.

"He said he loved me... And I didn't say it back.." I sighed and he looked up at me confused.

"Well DO you love Kao-chan?" He asked and I nodded.

"Yeah. I just... Couldn't say it and when I did he had already hung up. I'm just confused and I don't know what to do..." I said and he looked up at me with a smile.

"Do what's best." He said simply and I blinked.

"What's that supposed to mean?" I asked and he poked his chin.

"Well... If you love Kao-chan like you say then you will want to be with him. If he makes you happy then that's what's best for you. But if for some reason he doesn't make you happy then don't be with him." Honey explained then started eating some cake.

"...I understand." I said and he looked up at me.

"So then what is it?" He asked and I smirked.

"I think I'm going to have fun with this." I chuckled and stood up walking out of the lunchroom leaving a very confused Honey.

"Huh?" He blinked and tilted his head to the side.

The second Kaoru Hikaru and Tamaki walked outside, there stood Kyoya. He was leaning against the limousine with an outfit that looked like his uniform but instead it was black and white. He held a single red rose in his hand and he looked up, his grey eyes caught Kaoru's through the thin glasses.

Kaoru felt his heart flutter as he looked at Kyoya. His pale face looked so good with his black hair that fell to his forehead. The eyes were the perfect color for someone as mysterious as him. His long slender fingers, the way they held the rose so sexily.

Kyoya looked ravishing.

"Hot momma." Hikaru said with wide eyes.

"Shut up he's mine." Kaoru said in an airy voice.

Kyoya loved the shocked expression Kaoru had. He looked so cute His hair was done like very other day. He had a simple white tee-shirt that said '3.14% of Sailors are Pi rates' with a pie chart shown. His pants were all so tempting. Low riders and they were skin tight. He had regular sneakers and still had the array of jelly bracelets.

Hikaru had a shirt that said 'Strangers have the best candy' with a cloaked figure holding a lollipop.

That WOULD be something he'd wear.

"Kyoya..." Kaoru's voice seemed slightly excited as Kyoya smirked a bit wider while closing his eyes slightly.

"I am terribly sorry, Hikaru, Tamaki. But I wish to steal Kaoru from you for a while." His voice was smooth and Hikaru nodded and shoved Kaoru to him.

"A course." Tamaki said still in awe. "Come... Lets... Do something.."

Kaoru looked up at Kyoya with a blush as Kyoya handed him the rose.

"Let's go Kaoru." His voice purred and Kaoru nodded slowly as Kyoya led him into the limousine where they sat for a few moments in silence until Kaoru broke it.

"Thank you..." He said bashfully and Kyoya looked at him with a slight smirk.

"You're welcome." He said silkily and Kaoru swallowed hard. Did this mean that Kyoya loved him back? He wasn't sure. He could ask but he'd rather not bring up the topic since Kyoya was so sensitive about it the day before. Yes, it was definitely not a good topic to ask about.

"Where are we going?" Kaoru asked and Kyoya smirked wider.

"Oh you'll see." He said and Kaoru was confused. Kyoya looked so full of himself. He really never saw him act this way before. Perhaps he had a reason to look like that. Kaoru couldn't be sure until they finally got to where they were going.

"Your father won't get mad that you aren't home?" Kaoru asked, wanting to hear Kyoya talk.

"I told him I was staying at Honey's house. Which after I drop you off that is where I will be heading to." He said and Kaoru nodded. Something about Kyoya seemed different. He was acting more professional and the way he held himself made Kaoru kind of self conscious. "You seem kind of... At loss."

"Yeah... Sorry. Just... Surprised." Kaoru shrugged and Kyoya looked down at Kaoru's wrists and smiled as he grabbed an orange bracelet. Kaoru smiled at that. Finally a sense of familiarity. "Would you like to break it?"

"I would love to Kaoru." Kyoya said and snapped it as he played with it in his hands.

"Kiss me." Kaoru whispered as their faces got incredibly close and they felt each other breathing on their faces.

"I love you too, Kaoru." Kyoya whispered and Kaoru's heart throbbed and Kyoya's lips were pressed against his own.

They pulled away shortly and Kaoru smiled warmly.

"I'm glad." He said and Kyoya held him tightly.

"Tell me Kaoru." He whispered lightly and Kaoru looked at him.

"Yes Kyoya?" He whispered softly.

"What does this mean to us?" He asked and Kyoya paused.

"It depends... Do you want to be my boyfriend?" He asked and Kyoya smiled.

"More than anything." Kaoru inhaled sharply, afraid he'd suffocate from lack of air. He forgot to breath after that.

"Then... Be my boyfriend." Kaoru breathed and Kyoya leaned in and pressed his lips to Kaoru's.

"I'd be more than happy to comply with that." Kyoya whispered after pulling away from the kiss.

They looked at each other for a while. Nothing said between them but they just smiled. Kaoru knew just by the look in Kyoya's eyes that he wasn't going to leave him at anytime, nor was he planning on it. But when Kyoya looked into Kaoru's eyes he could see that he wouldn't let him get hurt. That looked scared Kyoya a bit. He didn't want to be saved by Kaoru. He didn't want him jumping in front of him for any reason.

He kissed Kaoru again. This time for a bit longer. He loved the soft feeling of Kaoru's lips on his own. Just how he remembered it from a month ago. But he loved having his memory refreshed. Especially with the sweetness of the kiss. There wasn't any lust at all. It was a very comfortable kiss. They proved to each other that they could be calm with one another. They smiled in the kiss and pulled away. Kaoru pulled off Kyoya's glasses and looked hard at the face of the guy who he met over a month ago. No glasses and a bandage. If you looked closely you could see the scar he was hiding. Kaoru smiled at him as he leaned in and kissed the scar tenderly. Kyoya was a bit surprised.

"You're so handsome Kyoya." He said tenderly as he cupped Kyoya's face. He could see that surprised him even further.

Kyoya's expression calmed down and he let his head rest on Kaoru's shoulder and grabbed his shirt. He was shaking a bit.

"Don't leave me again Kaoru. Please." The words were desperate and Kaoru stroked Kyoya's hair.

"I don't plan on leaving." Kaoru smiled at the boy. "Because you're important to me."

AWWWWHHHH!!! lol
