The Moonlight Masquerade

Ending 5: An Interesting Twist

Haruhi could feel her eyes widen in surprise. How did this happen? She heard a soft chuckle from the boy in front of her and a slight metallic clink as an object was lifted from the table. He sauntered over to Haruhi who was standing in shock, and ran his fingers through his raven-black straight mess of hair.

"Surprised?" he asked, placing his glasses back where they belonged. There was no light in the music room to reflect off of them, so Haruhi could see his onyx eyes clearly, shining in amusement at the brunette.

"Eh, w-well, umm, yeah," Haruhi stuttered. "H-how did this happen Kyoya-senpai?"

Kyoya flashed a cocky smile as he looked down at Haruhi. "Let's just say I cheated."

Haruhi understood what he meant. Kyoya knew what Haruhi was dressed in before he even came to the dance, so he must've sought her out intentionally. "But how?" she asked, gesturing to Kyoya's silver-blue suit.

"Hmm? Oh Tamaki was generous enough to swap suits with me. Unfortunately, since he is a few inches taller than me, this is too long," he replied, holding out his sleeves that extended beyond his pale, slender hand. "I couldn't let you know what I was wearing right? That wouldn't be fair." He chuckled again. A dark, Kyoya-like laugh that was evilly knowledgeable. Once again, he had thought ahead of her.

Kyoya knelt down some to meet Haruhi's eye level. "That isn't a problem, is it?" he asked, almost sarcastically, because they both knew they were stuck with each other, whether they liked it or not.

Haruhi shook her head, unable to speak to him. With his hypnotic eyes and calm-inducing voice, Haruhi's confidence in her ability to speak melted away. Anything she would've uttered out, probably would've been a squeaky and embarrassing mess.

Kyoya's face was inches away from hers. A smile sat on his thin, pale lips, almost mocking her. "Good," he whispered out.

Haruhi felt her knees go weak. Kyoya had that affect on her. It was like that time when the Host Club went to the beach. Kyoya had Haruhi pinned to his bed, to prove to her how worried they all were about her, and to show that she should've asked them for help. He had been proving a point that time, and still Haruhi felt herself succumb to his dark influence, only barely able to realize what Kyoya was doing. Now, he wasn't proving anything and the disarming effect was real. Maybe Haruhi really was weak. Under this intense onyx stare, she knew she was.

Kyoya's smile widened as Haruhi's eyes grew larger and larger as she realized the power he had over her. He lifted his hand and gently placed it on her cheek. He could feel the warmth flush to it, Haruhi blushing ferociously. Kyoya gently brushed his thumb over the side of her soft, pale face, only gently gliding over her pink lips.

Now, Haruhi felt very weak. Her legs started to collapse, and she willed them with all her might to stay strong. Ignoring her pleading, her legs continued to crumple under Kyoya's touch. The raven-haired male laughed softly and wrapped his other arm around Haruhi's waist, keeping her standing. The force of the movement startled Haruhi, and she felt herself being pushed into Kyoya's chest. Her head buried into the crook of his neck and both of his arms held her tightly. She relied in his strength to make her remain standing, her legs unbelievably feeble. Kyoya ran his slender fingers through her short brunette hair. Mumbling to the top of her head, he said, "You are completely under my control. You are completely vulnerable to me."

Haruhi let out a soft sigh, as Kyoya's fingers entwined themselves in her hair. It felt so right. Wait, why did it feel right? Did Haruhi actually feel that way about Kyoya? Cold, dark, calculating Kyoya, who only did things for his own merit. Was she one of those things now? Was he using her for his own personal gain?

Haruhi felt cool lips being placed gently on the top of her head. Her doubts melted away; this was genuine, pure, and affectionate. They stood in Music Room 3, entangled together, Haruhi buried in his chest, Kyoya's arms wrapped tightly around her, never letting her free. Neither moved for a while, they stood together as the rest of the ball ended underneath them. After the music stopped finally, Kyoya released her. Haruhi blushed as he took her face in his calm, confident hands, and softly pressed his lips to hers. Haruhi let her eyelids droop slowly, getting caught up in the moment. The night had a magical end, the night with an unexpected twist.

AN: Okay everyone! That's the end of the alternate endings! I made this one longer because 1. It was the last alternate ending and 2. It was with my favorite anime guy of all time, Kyoya :)
The next ending is the last one, sorry, but can you guess who the mystery date is? Dun dun dunnn! And I want to know whose ending was your favorite! Sometimes getting into character was hard and i want to know how well I did for everyone!
Well thanks always for reading and for your reviews, I really appreciate it. I didn't want to have an Author's Note at the end of EVERY ending saying thanks for reading, that's a little redundant because all of those were really short. So now I'm saying it to count for all the previous chapters. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR READING AND REVIEWING!
