Hello...If you've gotten past my first chapter(s) I thank you...It's chapter 3 because I kinda combined 1 and 2...don't be shy, review please! I love feedback...Well, that's just about it for now. (Side note: I apologize for how short the chapters are, geeze! They look so much bigger in a word document!)
Disclaimer: Nope, Still don't own Ouran...but I wish I did.
Chapter 3: I must admit...
A few minutes later, Kaoru returned with the tea. What am I to him, just someone to do petty tasks? Is this the only reason he brought me here? "Set it on the table over here, Kaoru." Kyoya called, motioning to a small table next to him. He was sitting in a chair, reading a book. Silently, Kaoru placed the tea tray down. Kyoya looked up from his book, locking eyes with Kaoru. "You can sit," he murmured, "I'm not actually trying to make this an awkward situation, believe it or not." Kaoru was silent once more, perching himself in the chair directly across from Kyoya. The table was in between them. In one fluid motion, Kyoya set his book on the table, poured himself a cup of tea, and started sipping it slowly. "Why did you really bring me here?" Kaoru asked, breaking his silence. For a second he could have sworn Kyoya's face was slightly pink. "Because," Kyoya whispered, "I wanted to." Kaoru stood and crossed his arms over his chest. "That's not a good enough answer, Kyoya." Kyoya placed his tea on the table, and adjusted his glasses. "Well," he said cooly, also standing, "That's the answer you're going to have to live with." He checked the watch on his wrist. "It's getting late, we should go." Kaoru's lips tightened into a line. "Come on," Kyoya said, approaching Kaoru, who was blocking the doorway, by the second, "We can't stay here all night." He stopped, only a foot away from Kaoru. "You really want to know why I brought you here?" Kyoya asked, taking another step. Isn't that a bit obvious? Kaoru thought, narrowing his eyes. Another step. Another. Now they were only inches apart. Kyoya's hand suddenly snaked up, grabbing Kaoru's chin. He pulled Kaoru forward; his mouth was parallel with Kaoru's ear. Kaoru's eyes widened. What is going on? "The reason I brought you here," Kyoya whispered in a low voice, "is just as I've stated before, Kaoru. I. Wanted. To." Kaoru pulled his face out of Kyoya's grip, locking eyes with him. This isn't as it seems, he thought, it can't be. I'm reading too far into this...he's joking...playing a trick?...No, Kyoya's not the type to do that...this is a dream? Someone set me up? Is this all a joke of Hikaru's? No, no, no...Kyoya wouldn't do that to me...would he? I have to go-now. I have to. Now. Kaoru turned on his heel, preparing to sprint for the exit, when he felt something latch around his wrist. Kyoya, with a surprising amount of force, pulled Kaoru towards him; Kaoru couldn't go against it, he was completely off guard as he was pulled backwards. He was keenly aware of how close he was to Kyoya; he felt his face burn. "Please," Kyoya whispered into Kaoru's ear, "Don't run, don't leave just yet." Kyoya gently released Kaoru's wrist; Kaoru turned to face Kyoya. No...He thought to himself, no, he can't...he doesn't...but...could he?...does he...? Suddenly, Kaoru fell forward, catching Kyoya's shoulders, hugging him. Just that. Kyoya was completely still, trying to fully absorb the situation he was now in. Slowly he relaxed, wrapping his arms around Kaoru's torso. "You really, truly mean this?" Kaoru whispered, breaking the silence. Kyoya smiled lightly. "Totally and completely."
