Chapter 6: 'F' stands for France

Kyoya glanced at the letter, rubbing his eyes wearily. In the days since the last letter, he'd finished all the work he'd been neglecting the last few weeks, losing a large amount of sleep at the same time.

He didn't do the work because Gabriella disapproved of his negligence. No, he only did it because it was pilling up on his desk.

Also, now that there was a minimal amount of work left, he had as much time as he wanted to think about the letters. Not that Kyoya actually wanted to focus on them. It was just… something to pass the time now that there was less work.

So Kyoya, I heard you started doing your work again. Good. I'd hate for Ootori zaibatsu to go downhill, especially since it's been doing so well lately.

Kyoya scowled. She was messing with him again.

Well, no big deal. I'm not here to talk about your business… though that's important to you. Here's 'F'.

'F' is for France. Do you remember Kyoya?

When we went to France for our school trip. You and I started snooping around to find Tamaki's mother. All I could think of was 'will you look for me too if I was gone?'

Like, do you remember when we found her and learned of Tamaki's past? I remember crying like a baby and waking up in your arms, when you saw me awake I didn't know if I wa hallucinating or it was true but I saw you blush. I still remember when you told Tamaki you met a woman in France, he started cry too. I felt like that was a moment only for the Host Club so I left.

I think France also has a great influence in our life, do you remember Renge? The French Otaku who fell in love with you because you look like Miyabi from Uki Doki Memorial, Renge's actions probably made me realize how much I love you. Seeing you just let her do what she wants, I know you were doing it for the business. Remember when you smashed the camera lenses because of the violence? I think that was the first time I felt my heart soar for you.

France. The country where the city of love resides, it was where I told you how much I love you. It was also the place where you told me that you don't love me and that you're only marrying me for your family's merits. I think I left the pieces of my heart in France, so I decide to go there just to pick it back up.

Somehow, after all those years I still treasured France because it was the place where I truly felt my love for you.

Twenty letters left Kyoya. Are you having fun?

-Gabriella

Kyoya looked at the letter, for once unsure of what he should do. He did remember all of those things after all it was the place where once and for all he settled things with Gabriella, but her final question pissed him off for some reason. It was tempting to shred the letter into a thousand little pieces, and never have to look at it again.

He didn't. 'Will you look for me too if I was gone?' that question still lingers in his mind. Of course he was going to look for her, she after all was important to him at some point.

Kyoya folded the letter up carefully and placed it into a box with the other letters he had received.

Then, he picked up his phone and dialed Kaoru's number…

Hi guys! I hope you guys enjoy this chapter!
