Recap: Once he was right in front of me, I jumped up and wrapped my arms around his neck and buried my face in the crook of his neck. His arms wrapped around my petite figure and spun me around. I felt the tears streaming down my face.
"I missed you," he whispered in my ear.
~Aiko's POV~
"You have no idea how much I missed you too, Kyoya," I replied, softly. Once he let me go, that's when I remembered where we were. I sniffled and wiped away the remaining of my tears, saying, "Um, you should probably go back to hosting."
"I don't think there will any more hosting for today, right, Tamaki?" he asked, not once looking away from me.
"Uh, I suppose so," Tamaki said, looking confused, "I'm sorry to announce this, ladies, but we will be closing a little early today due to recent, erm, events." The girls sighed disappointed, but left anyways.
~Some Time Later~
"Let me get this straight, Kyoya-senpai. You and Aiko have known each other since you were children?" Haruhi asked.
"Yes, that is correct," Kyoya replied.
"Ha! Small world," Haruhi smiled.
"So it would seem," Kyoya said.
"But wait, how do you and Kyo-chan know each other?" Honey-senpai wondered.
"Ah, our mothers were the best of friends when they were still in school and that friendship carried onto adulthood, resulting in us, Kyoya and I, being childhood friends. I know it seems preposterous and all, but it's true," I explained.
"Hm, well I don't think that's fair, mommy. You've been keeping secrets from daddy. Could it be that," Tamaki paused and took on a dramatic pose, "you don't love me anymore?"
"Tamaki, how many times do I need to remind you that we are not a married couple? And seeing as how we're not married, no, I do not feel any affection, of any kind, towards you. Furthermore, if we were ever married, what makes you think that you would be daddy? You are, in no way, the more dominant male," Kyoya countered. At this point, Tamaki had gone to, what I learned, his "Corner of Woe." Everyone seemed amused by this: Haruhi suppressing a laugh, Hikaru and Kaoru laughing with tears running down their face, Honey-senpai resumed eating his cake and Mori-senpai with a small smile, but none the less, amused.
"Erm, sorry if this offends you Kyoya," I started, "but, are you implying that, if given the chance, you would marry Tamaki?" The twins laughed even harder at this and Haruhi giggled but, covered it with a cough. Kyoya's cheeks tinged pink.
"I can honestly say, no. In fact, the thought of marrying that moron gives me unpleasant visions," he replied with a straight face. I let out a laugh. By now, Tamaki had started to cultivate mushrooms in his corner. How that was possible is beyond me.
~At Aiko's Home~
"Hey, princess, how was your day?" Dad asked, hugging me.
"It was quite… eventful, for lack of a better word," I replied, unsure.
"Ah, so you saw Kyoya," my dad smirked. It was now my turn to blush.
"I, no, how, yes," I stuttered, looking down at the floor.
"How was it then?" he asked.
"It was great actually. He's grown quite a lot," I smiled to myself, "Wait, how could you possibly know that I would meet Kyoya today?" I asked, suspiciously.
"I have my sources," a sly smile made its way towards my father's face.
"It was mom, wasn't it?"
"Yes."
"I thought so," I sweatdropped. My father just laughed.
"Yes, of course you did. Now go wash up and get ready for dinner."
~After Dinner, in Aiko's Room~
'Man, it's been a long day,' I thought and sighed, while lying on my bed, forearm draped across my forehead. I got up and walked to my laptop.
"Hey, Ale! (: How've you been? How's Jay and you're mom? It's great here in Japan, but it's definitely not the same without you. Reply whenever you can."
I typed and clicked send. I sighed and walked outside to my balcony. The night's breeze was calming. The gentle breeze blew my hair back and I started to sing softly.
There is no upper hand
I'm giving you mine
It doesn't have to end up wasting your time
There's things that I could say
But hear it my way
I want to let you know that it's all okay
Shelter my eyes from the sun
And wait for the birds to fly by
Trying to reach every one
And know what you're feeling inside
Deep in my head now it's like a dream goodbye
PING! I heard my computer and walked back in, closing the door behind me.
"OMG! Aiko! Girl, it's been too long since we last spoke! Jay, mom, and I are all doing well(: We miss you guys, of course but, we're surviving. Haha. What about you? How's your school? And your prince charming? (;"
"-.- You do know he has a name, right? And SHUT UP! . He is not my prince charming. And you know, everything's going well so far. (:"
"LOL!"
"Whatever ."
