The days pass by bliss and finally it was the long awaited date. Naomi wore a grey bonnet, to make it uplifting due to her complexion, a heart shaped necklace, pink polka-dots( it is longsleeves and the sleeves are quite puffy), with a matching black belt to her waist, she wore leggings and boots to match it. Kyoya was seen waiting outside of their house, together with their car. He wore black jacket, with heaphones resting on his neck, black pants and rubber shoes. His hair was quite a mess( he woke up at 12).

"Kyoya" Naomi said as she went outside of the gate of their house, she grinned and teases him "Your hair is quite messy."

"I beg your forgiveness; there not much time to fix it."

"No, it's ok. I like it."

Kyoya opens the door of the car and led her in. It was a black porche( not the convertible one. )

"Where would you want to go?"

"It's up to you."

"Then, to the amusement park it is."

The chauffeur drove on to the amusement park, silence was filling the air and neither of them wants to speak. It was as if they're not going to a date, but to a funeral instead ( lol jk). Finally, when they reached the destination the chauffeur bade them goodbye. The couple entered the amusement park, and Naomi broke a smile. The laughter of the children can be heard, colorful balloon s was seen, the smell of the food was howling in the air. Different rides that makes people scream, magic shows that amuses people and finally: The air that gives relief to the stress that people are holding.

It was relaxing.

"Neh, Kyoya-kun. Let's go to that ride!"

"Just so you know, we came here for the final exercise. I want to see how well you can control your emotions. (and apply the things I've taught you)"

Naomi nods and regains her calm and composed demeanor. 'as usual he's no fun at all' she silently thought as she followed Kyoya towards the ticket booth.

"If you're thinking that I am a KJ( kill joy) I am not, I am merely complying with the deal we had" he looks at Naomi and flashes his host smile.

'just how can he read my thought?!' Naomi thought and tried not to pout

"And if you're wondering how I can read your thoughts, it is because it is quite obvious."

'I give up.'

"Well then, let's go to the rollercoaster, milady. If you're up for it, that is."

The couple went towards the booth of rollercoaster and bought tickets for it. The two patiently waited at the line, Naomi crossed her arms and Kyoya was sending mails to various people.

It was a long line.

People keeps on piling up the line, and the workers have to work double time to serve their customers. Naomi keeps on looking at the watch, she was getting impatient. It's been years she rode a rollercoaster. She wants to experience it again. She wants to feel how butterflies occupy her stomach, how she screams up in the midst of air, and when it's over she'll be dizzy. Naomi blew a raspberry. She tried various things to keep away her boredom.

"Naomi, do you want to check the other rides instead? I'm sorry if this is taking too long." Kyoya apologized, checking the time.

"Fine."

The couple decided then to check out the other rides. During every ride, Naomi would try to conceal her excitements. She would try not to squeal or scream from time to time. However, there'll be times where she couldn't help but fathom how awesome the ride is. She is like a young girl that never experienced childhood before. On the other hand, Kyoya would still be in his calm and composed demeanor. It is like everyone is panicking when the rides will reach it's 'peak' or the most scariest part of it—and he'll be poker-faced. Naomi couldn't help but think he's an alien from outer space that doesn't hint any excitement or emotions at all. It's been 2 hours since they've been riding amusement rides.

"Kyoya, let's ride that one again!" Naomi pointed at bumper cars

"Alright, but this will be last alright? We do need to eat."

"Eh, but I'm not yet hun—" her statement was cut out by a growling sound, coming from her stomach; thus, producing obvious decibels of hungriness.

"Sorry for that." The young girl looked away, feeling embarrassed of her un-ladylike behavior.

"Let's go eat now. Follow me." Kyoya led the way towards an eatery. Naomi followed him with great eagerness bottling inside of her.

"What would like to eat?"

"You pick for us"

Kyoya fixes his glasses and ordered 2 beef burger, and 2 colas. He took out his wallet and paid the vendor. "Where would you like to eat?" he asks, as he collects the goodies from the vendor. "let's just sit on the benches." Naomi replied. The young man nodded and gave Naomi her burger and cola. The two sat on the nearest bench and chomped gleefully the food before them.

"Kyoya, can I ask you something?"

"You're already asking." Naomi chuckled and looked at Kyoya. She observed how he eats without a care in the world; she noticed that he's savoring the burger in his own way. The young man caught Naomi staring at her and asks what's wrong.

"Nothing, I just want to know how it feels to be the 3rd son." Naomi wiped her mouth, using her blue handkerchief. She crumpled the wrapper of the hamburger and sips the beverage once more. Kyoya stops eating and looks up the sky "It's interesting to be the 3rd son." He stated and continued chomping the food once again. Naomi stood up and went to the nearest garbage can; she threw the wrapper and the cola, without bothering to finish it. Kyoya followed her and does the same.

"Well then, where shall we go?" Naomi asks. Kyoya looked at his cellphone to check the time.

"3:45PM"

"I know, let's take a stroll around the amusement park!" Naomi beamed at him and tugged his hands in her direction. "You know, you remind me of someone…You remind me of Tamaki." He coolly said as he walked beside her.

"I don't really know much about you." Naomi blurted out of the blue

"It is something that does not concern you." The young girl rolled her eyes in annoyance "You know, I actually quite envy you." Naomi confessed, looking down at the ground—holding firmly at his hand.

"Is that flattery?"

"Nah, it's just that: you have your father's expectations."

"Hmm."

The two strolled without talking about the previous conversation. Naomi was quite relaxed, and she even forgot that her hand was linked to his. Kyoya, on the other hand, was trying to discern the previous statement she made. The time passed by like a bliss, they didn't even notice that the sun was about to set. It was already 5:45. The couple didn't exactly most of the time, sometimes they would rest down for a bit and they would talk about the lessons for the past few days.

"Kyoya, since it's almost 6PM, let's ride the ferriswheel. I know it's cliché to ride the ferriswheel at the end of the day."

"No, it's ok. I actually want to observe the beauty of the sun." Kyoya Ootori slightly smiled at his own words. The couple then bought tickets for the ferriswheel, luckily it wasn't crowded and they managed to ride it just in time to see the sun setting down. Naomi placed her hands onto the windows, marveling the beautiful colors of the sun. The sky was in patches of orange, pink and red and the sun was daintiest of them all. The birds were soaring in the midst of the sky, adding an effect of relaxation.

"Neh, Kyoya-kun."

"What is it?"

"I'll be leaving today—I'm going to London. I'll be spending my Highschool there. "

"Now?"

"Yes, my flight will leave at 11:00PM….I actually enjoyed the time spending with you."

"I'm honored to hear that."

"Kyoya, if you were to fall for someone—will you cancel the contract that binds our marriage?"

"Love? Even if I do fall for someone, I will never cancel the contract. That is mainly because; I would never marry someone who won't bring merit to the Ootori family."

"I see.."

"I'm an egoist, if you didn't notice that." His eyes glinted with slyness, and his lips smirked. Naomi glanced at him and took the seat beside him. From the very start, she knows that Kyoya is an ambitious being and only wants to please his father.

"Hehh. That's interesting."

The ride and they decided to go home, Kyoya called the chauffeur to pick them up. Once it arrived, he dropped off Naomi to her home. The young girl bade goodbye to Kyoya and headed towards her room, she lay down on her bedroom and placed her hand to her left chest.

"Why does it hurt so much whenever I realize that he's only merely doing this because of benefits and merits?"

…

It's been years since she was staying in London. Naomi grew up to be a fine, elegant woman. She managed to bring pride and glory to her family by being the valedictorian of her batch and has the highest average of all time. It was finally her graduation day. It was the day wherein all of her hard paid off. She was quite proud of herself actually, all of her skills drastically improved and she learned to let go of the past. For the day of her flight, Kyoya didn't bid her goodbye.

"Let go of the past, Naomi. It's time to present the speech." She took a deep breath and walked at the grand stage.

"Good morning to everyone-Parents, teachers, and students, good morning. This is the day wherein will part our ways. This is the day where all of our hardwork had paid off. And this is the day, where we all should thank our teachers, because without them we wouldn't able to achieve this. My parents aren't here to witness this memorable event, but I know that they're working hard so that they can provide me a good education. I remember when I was still 15 years old, someone told me, even though in the vaguest way as possible, "always be focused on your goals….." When she finally finished her speech, thundering of applauses echoed across the room. Her friends stood up and ran up to her when she finally descended from the stage. Her friends gave her a tight hug, and tears were streaming down to their eyes. They were happy, yet sad that they'll part ways.

"I'll really miss you."

"I'll miss you too, Aubrey" Naomi smiled at her bestfriend.

"You know guys, hate to break this but…there's someone waiting for Naomi."

"Is it my parents?" Naomi broke the hug and looked at her bestfriend, Victoria, she wants to know if her parents will ever visit her.

"Yes." Victoria smiled at her and hugged her "Now go. They're waiting for you outside"

Naomi nodded and broke the hug. She rushed outside, and saw her adopted parents waiting for her. You see, the Nakaharas only adopted Naomi. They only adopted her because they don't want someone to inherit the family name. However, after a year, her mother conceived a child. As a result, she seldom got any attention at all.

"Mother…Father…You're here today." Naomi couldn't believe her eyes, her parents actually came.

"Congratulations on being the valedictorian. I'm proud of you." Mr. Nakahara sternly said and pats her back.

"Onee-chan, congratulations on being the top of the class." Her half-brother, Mamoru, hugged her and congratulated her.

"This is a rare occasion for you to visit me." Naomi straightforwardly said, she was still bitter how they used her just to look good at other people's eyes.

"There is someone we would like you to meet." Mrs. Nakahara ignored Naomi's statement. "Naomi, meet Kyoya Ootori—your fiancé." Kyoya suddenly emerged from Naomi's view and he matured. He became more handsome, stunningly and more dashing. He was still the same as ever, but his eyes are quite relaxed.

"We will leave you two now. " Mr. Nakahara bade goodbye to them, and soon Mrs Nakahara and Mamoru followed him.

"It's nice to see you again." Naomi half-heartedly said

"I'm sorry if I wasn't there to bade you goodbye when you were about to leave" Kyoya apologized, he walks toward her and soon an inch was the only distance between them. He looked at Naomi with those serious eyes, which can make anyone melt.

"I didn't expect you came all the way here just to say that." Naomi sarcastically said as she laughs. "So, are you here to tell me that the contract is off?"

"Weren't you listening? Your father said that I'm your fiancée." Kyoya retorted "Listen, while you were gone I realized a lot of things. I met someone who changed my perspectives." He looked at the sky and reminisces the times he spent with the Host club. "I was a fool who didn't realize this. There are a lot of valuable things other than sheer power and money."

"Why are you telling me all of this?" Naomi asked in confusion, she didn't expect to come all the way here just to say all of these to her.

"First, you were the main reason why I changed."

"Huh?"

"A person like me wouldn't change because of the influences around me. I changed, because…because…" he cleared his throat, he looked away and his face hinted a shade of pink.

"I-I….I love you." He confessed.

He finally confessed those 3 words that he's been keeping to himself all the time.

All those years of façade were successful, but the truth kept on hunting him.

Every single time, he would think how she smiles..How gullible she was and how beautiful her soul is.

He felt a feint in his heart when he heard that she fell in love with Kaoru. He tried to suppress his feelings when he learned that her heart was stomped to pieces by him.

He was so happy that she complied with the arranged marriage.

And he was gravely sad when he learned that Naomi will be leaving her homeland.

"…I don't know why, but….I felt my heart cringing when you said that you were about to leave….I also don't know why, It feels so strange when I tell you that I'm only doing it for merits….I don't why…."

He placed his hand to his left chest, "that's when I realized that….I..love you…At first, I was so oblivious by my feelings…Fuyumi-neesan asks me a series of questions…and then, I became aware of it..."

"I also don't know why—" He began to look at the ground, thinking what was the next word. Kyoya mentally facepalmed and took out his cellphone. " 'Ah, I also don't know why my heart skips a beat whenever you smile'" he began to read out loud from his cellphone. Naomi laughed at Kyoya, she found it adorable when Kyoya can memorize anything but can't memorize his confession.

"I love you too."

Naomi smiled at him "I know I'm not supposed to express my feelings so easily but…you're my fiancé….and….-." she was cut off when Kyoya's lips landed on hers. It was this feeling that she's been longing for. Slowly by slowly, she closed her eyes, she slung her arms around his neck—bringing him closer to her.

Kyoya broke the kiss and looked at her, blushing.

"Kyoya-kun, I hope you're my first and last kiss. You may not be my first love, but you're my true love."

"As you wish my princess." Kyoya smiled at her, and the two walked hand-in-hand. They were now an official couple.
