Chapter Two : A date with me, and enjoy it

Planning a Date:Stage One

Hello, this is Kyoya's guide to planning a date. Now, if you are not madly in love with this girl, and want her to love you back desperately, please look for another guide. Thank you! (Joke. I'm not really going to give you any advice. Unless you happen to pick some up.)

Kyoya was pondering in the car, on what he would do on this date. Dinner? No. Too simple; he'd do dinner with any normal girl. Haruhi was not any girl. He scratches his head in frustration.

"Is there something bothering you, sir?" Tachibana asks, suddenly. Yet Not turning his head.

Tachibana would sometimes do this, whenever kyoya was in a funk. It was well understood that Yoshio didn't have time to talk with his sons, and Kyoya's brothers weren't exactly ones that would help their younger brother out with things, so Tachibana did his best to keep kyoya in line, and be there for him.

"Ah, Tachibana. It's nothing much," he lies, but Tachibana only smirks. He knew that there really was something going on.

"If I may speak freely, sir,"

"Of course," Kyoya says, with a sigh.

"You know you can tell me anything, sir,"

Kyoya's eyes soften. Tachibana was always there for him. he remembered when he was the kid and Tachibana was still young, he would let Kyoya draw, tell him stories, bring those wonderful candies of his, and just let him be a kid.

"Alright," Kyoya sighs. "I've asked a certain girl out on a date. And I'm having trouble finding the perfect spot for it,"

"Ahh...I knew young master would have these problems sooner or later," Tachibana teases. Which surprisingly, didn't get him fired.

"Tsk," Kyoya blushes, looking towards the window.

"Let's see. When I was younger….on my first date I took Hiroko to a lake. It's somewhat far, but it was worth it. Hiroko loved cherry blossom trees. We walked under those trees again and again for so long, time seemed to stop. The lake was small. I remember a wooden platform in the middle of the lake. There weren't any railings, I remember her scared face. Yet I think that was the best date of my life," Tachibana stares nostalgically as he drives.

Kyoya listened carefully to the summary. haruhi would love that place. He thinks, smiling a bit, as he picture her, walking under the cherry blossoms with her bright smile, eyes shimmering in the sun. Now to make it reality….

"Tachibana,"

"Yes, sir," The man turns with a smile as they stop at a red light.

"Can you take me there?" Kyoya says softly.

He smiles, "As you wish," Tachibana says, as usual.

The Place

Kyoya's eyes met thousands of cherry blossoms, surrounding a small, yet clear lake just as Tachibana had described. Even the wooden platform was there, no railings and all.

Tachibana stared at the place that he had once taken his wife to. A blast of nostalgia met him, as he smiled brightly.

"Thank you, Tachibana. I will call you once I am done," Kyoya says, immediately getting out of the car.

Tachibana opens his mouth to speak, but immediately closes it as he watches the young Ootori boy rush off with his bag, like a child chasing a butterfly. Just let him enjoy it. He deserves it. The man drives off, with a smile. He couldn't wait to tell Hotta and Aijima. The young master's got a date! It'll surely make a nice topic for gossip.

As Kyoya stands underneath the cherry blossoms, he inhales the fresh air before taking a few steps towards the platform.

He sits down, and pulls out his laptop. Forget a date, this place was amazing just for peace and quiet. He stares at his laptop, and begins to type plans for the big day.

He'd wait at her doorsteps, in casual attire, which was best suited for the setting. He wouldn't be holding flowers in his hand or anything, he'll just knock on the door softly, wait for her to come out, compliment her appearance, and take her out to the car. Of course, Kyoya did not want the ride to be awkward, so he'd make small conversation. Ask about her grades, talk about other things like that, just to make her comfortable. Once they would reach this place, he'd just go with the flow. This is one thing that he didn't want to plan. If he were to plan it, he'd be forcing her to love him. Because an Ootori's plan, always goes through.

As he closes his laptop, Kyoya take the time to just enjoy what was there. He leans, arms keeping him up. This was what he wanted, he wanted this peaceful feeling, he wanted her to smile, and be happy. He needed her too. And he was going to get it, the smile that was directed towards him, that beautiful, bright, genuine, and pure smile, but this time it'll be all his.

As the days go by, Kyoya continues to come by the place everyday, to plan, sometimes to enjoy the peace. He came every day of the week, and stayed for hours. Each day, he brought his violin and played it, completely lost in the music.

Today was Friday, the last day until Saturday, the day of the date. kyoya was playing the violin. It was about 5:00 P.M. As he plays, he is sitting on the ground, thinking about tomorrow. He thought about the bad things. What if it didn't go well, what if she feels weird around him, but all it took was the thought of her beautiful smile, and calmed him down. As he drifted into sleep, right on the platform, he thought about one last thing. Would it all be his? Her smile, her warmth, her? Would she love him…

Just let fate decide, tomorrow, fate would play with his world, and give him the answer.

Haha, cliff hanger. Sorry.
