Let us presume this is a few days after the pool incident and a few weeks before the host club goes to the beach
----ON WITH THE STORY------------------------------------
"Oh, I see. So the situation is that difficult?" Kyouya wrote something down on his notebook taking in the information you have given him.
"Uh-huh. So you HAVE to help me! Please! You're the only one I can turn to!"
"*sigh* Very well." Kyouya massaged his temples "But we are also sticking to MY conditions. Understood, sempai?"
"Mmm-hmm! Thanks Kyou-chan~"
Your POV
'Everything is back to normal…'
It's been a while since the pool incident happened and things have gone back to normal. You would ride to school with Takashi and Mitskuni, attend classes as usual and entertain your guests at the host club. But one thing changed since then, though.
Kyouya has been awfully nicer to you. He'd walk you to class whenever Hani and Mori can't make it, he'd carry your books whenever you see each other in the library and surprisingly, not make you work too hard whenever the host club is in business.
'I guess it's alright. He's just a friend after all. And besides, he did help me feel better back when Takashi was ignoring me… but how does he know when Mitskuni and Takashi can't walk me to class? And how come he's really sweet when he's around me?...hmmm…'
"Suzu-sempai?"
"Huh?" A cool voice interrupted your thoughts.
"You were spacing out in the middle of the hallway so I pulled you inside the Club room seeing that you were coming here, anyway."
You had to blink at least once or twice to figure things out. "Oh. Y-yes. Sorry I didn't feel like myself at that time I suppose, Kyouya-kun."
"Why? Do you have a cold? Is the heat getting to you? Are you under a lot of stress?" He held either side of your neck as he leaned in making both your foreheads touch.
"I-I… I think I'm fine… "
'Why am I stuttering? My face! Why am I flushing like this?! Is it because I really am getting a cold?'
Mori's POV
"C'mon, Takshi! We shouldn't keep the others waiting! Kyou-chan said we have to be there early!" You cousin literally DRAGGED you to the Club room.
"Muitskuni. Suzu-"
"I'm sure she'd already be there by now!"
'I've never seen Mitskuni this excited about a club meeting before…'
As you pushed open the doors to the club room, you saw some thing you didn't expect to see (and no. Seeing Tamaki in a weird frilly costume is something you see everyday.). You saw Suzu and Kyouya in the middle of the room heart-stopping-ly close to each other. This made you well up inside. A similar feeling with the changing room incident a few days ago.
'Darn it! Why do I feel like chopping Kyouya's head off?'
'It's 'coz you're jealous you nitwit.'
'What? Why should I be?'
'Gah! You're a brainless IDIOT! That's it! I'm taking charge!'
'Wait? What?!'
You suddenly felt yourself moving against your own will but there was something different… It's like, you wanted to do it. You made your way towards Kyouya and Suzu and put your hand on Kyouya's shoulder.
Kyouya seemed to notice. "Oh. Hello Mori-sempai. I see you and Hani-sempai made it early today." He pulled away from Suzu as he turned around to face you as if nothing happened "And before anything else, would the two of you be so kind to tell the other members that there's a possibility for me to be late today? Suzu-sempai seems to be getting a cold so I'm going to have to bring her to-"
"I'll do it." You said bluntly.
"Hmm. Alright. I'll explain to the others, then. Hani-sempai, I presume you're going as well?"
"Nope! I can wait here~"
You held Suzu's wrist as you pulled her out of the Club room. "Mitskuni."
"I'll wait for you and Suzu-chan here. Ok, Takashi? "
The nurse gave Suzu a check-up and the results said that she was fine.
"Suzu." You entered the room where she sat.
"Takashi…" She avoided eye contact as you approached her.
'Conscience, I blame you for this. '
'But what did I ever do?'
'I hate your guts right now.'
'You're welcome~'
You gave a sigh of defeat. Your eyes wandered to Suzu's frail form reminding you of how she looked back in the pool.
'That conscience should keep those dirty thoughts to himself.'
"Takashi…" Suzu stood in front of you still avoiding eye contact. "What you saw…Kyouya…it wasn't-"
You put a finger to her lips. "I know. I know."
She finally managed to look at you straight in the eye. "I'm sorry…" She mumbled.
'She's always been so…'
You found yourself leaning closer to her. Your fingers tracing her lips stopping at her lower jaw…
She rested her hands in your chest as you neared in on her…
Suzu-sempai!
The door sung open revealing Tamaki, the twins and Haruhi(being dragged by Tamaki).
You and Suzu quickly parted.
"Tamaki! I told you she'd be fine with Mori-sempai!" You heard Kyouya call after him in the distance obviously running.
"Tamaki!" Kyouya finally reached the door panting along with Hani.
'Damn Tamaki! It was SO CLOSE!!!'
'What?! I…did I just do that?... but…'
'Dammit! Dammit! Dammit! You could have been on top of her by now!!!!!'
'What?!... how… I said keep those perverted thoughts to yourself!'
'You NEED her!!! And besides, I wasn't in charge when it happened!'
'So you mean…I… Suzu…'
Your POV
'Did me and Takashi almost…'
You blushed a million shades of red as you thought of what might have happened.
"Suzu-sempai! Are you alright?! Is it a high fever?! You're as red as a tomato!" Tamaki gave you some "Tamaki's medical attention" as you stood still with too many thoughts in your head.
Mori's POV
Tamaki started doing crazy tests on Suzu like making her drink on the opposite end of the cup, stand on one foot, drink maple syrup and the sort as she stood still looking as flushed as ever.
'Darn it! I'm heating up.'
You walked out of the room wanting to get some fresh air. As you walked out, you saw Kyouya massaging his temples mumbling something about killing Tamaki while Hani hit his head against the wall.
'This is all just a dream… a hallucination… keep calm… keep calm…'
You made your way to the men's room and went over to a sink splashing your face with some water.
'I'm definitely blushing and I'm DEFENITELY sure this isn't a dream.'
The memory of having Suzu nearly kissing you flashed in your mind making you blush more.
'Darn it. This isn't like me at all.'
Hani's POV
Mori just passed you and Kyouya while the both of you sulked in the corner.
"ne, Kyou-chan. It was so close! The operation was almost a success!" you hugged Usa-chan.
"Indeed. If not for Tamaki, it would have been a success." Kyouya was still massaging his temples.
"We HAVE TO make plan B work this time!" Determination flaring up your eyes(don't forget those cute flower-thingys)
"Agreed."
Your POV
'Something about Hideyoshi…'
It's been a day since the "fever" incident but you tried your best to forget a bout the silly misunderstanding.
'The nice librarian said that history books were in isle three…'
After minutes of searching, you managed to find what you were looking for at the lower shelf in the far corner of the isle.
'Ah, here it is…'
"Good afternoon, Suzu-sempai."
You made a silent yelp as you saw Kyouya smiling at you from the other side of the book shelf.
"K-Kyouya-kun, d-don't do that."
"ehehehehehe. Sorry. I'll come round."
You waited for a few minutes for Kyouya to get to your side of the shelf.
"Sorry to startle you like that, Suzu-sempai." He approached you with a smile (that's rare) with what looks like a biology book in hand.
"Don't worry about it. Say, Kyouya-kun, isn't that a biology book you have there?"
"Hmm? Why yes, it is. Actually, now that you're here, would you mind helping me with something? ^_^ "
Mori's POV
"C'mon, Takashi! Sensei said we should finish the history essay by tomorrow! We should borrow the BIGGEST history book to help us out!"
'He's never been this excited about an essay before…'
Turning in an abrupt corner, you saw (yet again) something you didn't expect to see (And no, seeing Haruhi harassed by the twins is quite usual whenever you visit the library.). Kyouya had his back to you. But the thing that made you well up inside was the fact that Suzu's arms were draped around his neck.
'What are they doing?'
'What does it look like they're doing?! They're KISSING! That's what!'
'No they're not… I think… And besides, I trust Suzu… she's not the kind of person who does those kinds of things…'
'Says the person who spends most of his days being swarmed at by different kinds of women… YOUNG women…'
'But I'm a host. It's my job.'
'And Suzu is a teen-age girl! She's SUPPOSED to kiss guys at her age! And whatever you say, I'M not letting her kiss anyone else but ME!'
'What?! Hold on-'
You, once again, felt yourself move against your own will and marched right over to Kyouya and Suzu's forms.
"Kyouya." You said too menacingly as you intended it to be.
You held a tight grip on his shoulder as you shoved him off making Suzu step back a little.
"Takashi!" Suzu gasped.
A tissue paper cardboard roll (those cardboard thingies under a roll of tissue paper) fell on the ground.
"Ah, Mori-sempai" Kouya straightened his uniform "Good afternoon." He said all too formally.
You stared daggers at him (with out your conscious mind knowing of course).
"ne, Kyou-chan! I can't reach a book over there! Help me out, please!" Hani whispered loudly from across the hall.
"Alright. Thanks for helping me out with my biology experiment, Suzu-sempai. Good day, Mori-sempai." He did a quick bow dismissing himself and left.
"Takashi…I…" Suzu quivered slightly with her hair covering her eyes.
'NOW look at what you did!'
'I didn't DO anything. I simply protected the love of my life AND future wife from dirty stinky perverts.'
'Kyouya wasn't doing ANYTHING to her! And speaking of which, who are YOU calling a pervert?!'
'Humph!'
You sighed once again.
"Nothing happened…I swear, Takashi-kun…" She started shaking.
'*sigh* I'm gonna kill that "conscience" '
"Suzu." You grabbed hold of her upper arms lifting her up a bit making her look at you in the eye.
"Takashi…" She whimpered slightly.
Your eyes wandered to her lips.
'Those soft, smooth, luscious……wait, STOP it!'
You felt Suzu move from your grip, not away from you, but towards you.
'Suzu…'
Closer the both of you got to each other…
Haruhi! Are you HERE?!
You let go of her and by instinct, made her stand behind you.
"Shhhh!" everyone in the library shushed Tamaki.
"Oh, sorry… Haruhi! Are you HERE?!" He continued in small whispers.
Kyouya's POV
You stood at the second floor balcony of the library overlooking the ground floor where Suzu and Mori were.
"Baka, Tamaki…"
Now, you LITERALLY want to wring his neck and tug on the other end like there's no tomorrow.
"Kyou-chan! *sniff* It was SO CLOSE!"
Taking off your glasses, you rubbed either ends of your nose "I'll be making Plan C if you need me."
Apparently, plan-making was hard but keeping TAMAKI away was even harder.
You would come up with a plan for the day, only for it to be crushed by Tamaki.
As hours turned into days and days turned into weeks, you were getting frustrated with Tamaki foiling your plans (all which were VERY close into fulfilling the mission) EVERY SINGLE TIME!
"Hani-sempai." You made a meeting with him after 8 days of planning and executing "It seems that I have to result to Plan Z z1."
"Z…z….1?" Hani tilted his head slightly.
"This is my 53rd plan." You stated bluntly.
"Ohhh. We did that many for just 8 days?"
"…."
"Uuuhh anyway, what's the plan this time?"
You flipped some pages from your notebook before you spoke.
"We're going to the beach."
-----END OF STORY-------------------------------------------------------------
Hello everyone. It's me again, KhAeL. I've updated everything starting from the 1st chapter (about the proper times skips and borders) so please have a look in case you were confused then. And here's an explanations about some terms here in the story:
When Mori thought Kyouya and Suzu were kissing, they were actually doing Kyouya's biology experiment about the "human heart" by using the cardboard roll into something similar to a stethoscope to tell how many beats there are within a minute.
When Kyouya said "Plan Z z1" and said it was his 53rd plan, its because:
Z= 26 letters in an alphabet
z= 26 letters in an alphabet
1= #1
26+26= 52+1= 53
Correct me if I'm wrong please.
