Chapter One: 'A' is for Arrange Marriage

Kyoya glared at the letter on his desk, already dreading the moment he'd have to read it. It was probably just another love letter from yet another girl he didn't care about. He sighed as he opened it, just wanting to get it over with.

Dear Kyoya… Kyoya stared at the familiar handwriting. It couldn't be… but it was. "Gabby…" he barely heard himself whisper the name. Gabriella had left years ago, after he got cold feet and didn't attend their wedding she vanished into thin air, and she never wrote or kept in contact with any of them. Even her parents don't have any information about her. He looked at the paper again.

Dear Kyoya,

It's been a while, hasn't it? It never seemed to be the right time to write when I tried before… and I could never seem to find the words. I found them now. All twenty-six of them actually. I know after I left everyone thought I was gonna kill myself, but I didn't because I couldn't.

Kyoya sighed, feeling a little exasperated. Gabriella has always been the most stubborn person he have every met. But, Gabriella would always stick up for him, she was the first person besides his mother and sister to talk back to his father, and for that he had always given he his complete attention. Then she'd just left, without a word, and he'd lost the one person who accepted him completely, though he hadn't realized that fully. He knew that it was his fault but she didn't have to leave.

He picked up the paper and continued to read.

'A' stands for Arrange Marriage. That's where it all began after all. You and I were both ambitious, that's why to be the next heir to the family business we both agreed to get married. But, I fell in love with you.

Kyoya, I know deep down you're in love with Haruhi but I've always kept it to myself. You always wanted to be there for her, but even so you still cared about your friendship with Tamaki so you held your feelings back. You never looked at anyone else but her.

She was everything to you. You'd give up everything you had to see her smile just once. It might have hurt you, but at least she was happy. You were content to be the 'Shadow King' so that when Haruhi needs someone sane to talk to she could come to you.

Haruhi was like family to me, like a sister. She was honest and real, when I first met her I knew why you fell in love with her.

I thought you'd try to break them up. Then I realized you'd never do anything to hurt Tamaki or Haruhi… because you cared about the both of them.

Our Arrange Marriage was the only escape you had.

Everything started with an Arrange Marriage.

Twenty-five more letters Kyoya.

- Gabriella

Kyoya stared at the letter. He knew that Gabriella knew about his feelings but he never knew that because of that feelings he had hurt her. She'd changed a lot in the last five years, usually she would only say cold words that would match his.

Briefly, he wondered what it had been like, just leaving the way she did, and if she had missed them. He wondered what she'd been doing, who she'd met, if she met a new man. Kyoya knew he'd find out eventually.

He couldn't wait for letter 'B'.
