It was the same room I had woken up in after my first date with Kaoru.
Memories flooded my head, pushing the pain away. I remembered the sweet smells in the air, the way we laughed, the softness of his lips against mine, so comforting, so sweet.
But something bothered me...
Why did he love me?
I stared into the dark, thinking hard.
I obviously knew why I loved him, he had been the first person outside of my parents to show me kindness. He told me to not take anything from anyone. But why did he love ME?
As if it was fate, I heard the door creak open. I closed my eyes, faking sleep. I heard the scrape of a chair, and someone sit.
"Gin? Are you awake?" It was Kaoru. Had I been asleep a long time?
"Gin? Please.. Its been almost two weeks... I don't want this..."
Two weeks? I've been asleep for two weeks?!
"Gin, please! I love you, so much. Your sweet, caring, everything I could have been a long time ago. But I was so scared, but you? Your the bravest person I know." He was sobbing, almost screaming. "Gin, please! I don't deserve you, just wake up... PLEASE!"
The doors slammed open. "Kaoru, just-"
"Kaoru!" I sat up, unable to contain myself any longer. The room was lit now. I saw Kaoru at my side, tears still flowing, as well as the whole Host Club at the door.
No words were spoken as Kaoru grabbed my frail frame, lifted me up, only to set me in his lap as he sat down on the bed. I began to cry, stroking his hair, kissing him. He kissed me back gently, cradling me like a mother would her child (Damn, that doesn't sound right...). We stayed together the rest on the night.
Hikaru POV I woke up, rubbing my eyes. I looked around the room, sighing as I realized Kaoru was with Gin. I had kinda hoped he would have come back in the middle of the night, but of course, he hadn't. I dragged myself out of bed and after changing, proceeded down the hall to where Gin was to stay.
I opened the doors silently, staring down at the duo. They were asleep, hands still wrapped around one another's. I felt jealousy rise up, boiling rage. She was curled up in a little ball on his chest as he held her. I stormed out of the house entirely, trying to escape my feelings.
I played little attention as I walked down the sidewalk, occasionally bumping into people. I felt hopeless as a final thought clouded my view: That I was to never had what they had, that I was now alone.
Suddenly, I collided with something, falling to the ground. "He-" I started, but abruptly stopped. On the floor in front of me was a girl with crimson hair and hazel eyes, her face full of worry.
"Oh, I'm really sorry, here let me help.." She picked herself up, offering me her hand. She had a really thick accent, and her Japanese was choppy.
"No, no, I'm fine.." I got up, blushing slightly. I towered over her, a good three inches taller.
" Uh..Hi. I'm Clarissa. I'm just on vacation here from America with my family." She smiled at me, a light blush appearing on her cheeks.
I smiled at her, shaking her hand. "Hikaru. So," I continued in English, "Wanna go get some coffee?"
~~~~~Hello, Fabulous people! Well, I'm sorry to say this is almost The End of The Only Exception, and I really hope you'll like the last few chapters. But, I have an idea. I really don't want to leave Gin and Kaoru's story at a stand still. So, what if I made a second story, like a continuation of their story, After Ouran. So, you guys will pm me or leave your opinion in review. Thanks!:3
