Chapter 8: The Fool's Kiss

The room was silent as Kyouya lowered his cell phone from his ear to the bed sheets. He stared into nothing as his mind slowly worked over what he was just told. Closing his eyes, he let his head fall into the waiting palms of his sweat beaded hands.

What was he going to tell her?

::

Haruhi had a smile on her face much of the morning as she walked through each room getting her clothes ready for school, packing away her bag, and preparing herself breakfast. She had relived the last night a thousand times and each time she couldn't hold back the smile that graced her lips, or the fluttering that would start in her stomach. She was so shocked at how quickly, she admitted, she was falling for Kyouya. It was all sudden, interesting, and electric.

"Ah good morning Haruhi!" Tamaki all but screeched as she entered the host room, eagerly.

"Good morning Senpai." Haruhi returned with a gentle smile to the erratic teen. Tamaki sauntered over to her and dramatically flipped his hair as he looked her over. She couldn't remove her smile if her life depended on it.

"What has you in such a good mood, my daughter?" Tamaki asked leaning down with an inquisitive look. His blue eyes penetrated hers, but she coolly stepped back and around Tamaki leaving him with no answer.

"Can't a girl be happy?" She threw over her shoulder. Tamaki stared after her as she started a low hum as she prepared the commoners' coffee in the back room, just before the door closed on her glowing image.

Haruhi quietly hummed to herself as she stirred the steaming coffee in front of her. She heard the door open but was to absent minded to look and see who it was.

"You're glowing Haruhi." The deep voice startled the oblivious girl.

"You scared me Senpai!" Haruhi scolded as Kyouya grinned lightly at her from the door way.

"I'm back to Senpai again?" He questioned closing the door as he entered the room more. Haruhi was suddenly very nervous and shy around him. With a blush she looked away losing her smile for the first time that day.

"I-I…." She really had NO idea what to say to him. What was wrong with her!

"You can call me Senpai in the company of others, only." He came around to her and wrapped his arms neatly around her middle and leaned against her back. Startled by the order she'd just received she turned to yell at the big headed teen, but found his lips met hers before she could even breathe in her protest.

"I…um." Haruhi shook her head after Kyouya had pulled back and Kyouya let out the most amazing sound she'd ever heard. He laughed.

"Don't tell me that I've really left you speechless." Kyouya teased releasing her. Haruhi just blushed furiously and glared.

"I have things to do." She mumbled quickly scurrying from the room with a tray of coffee steaming in her hands. Looking after her, Kyouya felt his smile fade as she walked out of the room and the door swung close on him. His lips tingled from the sweetness of her innocent lips. He touched them briefly before shaking his head, eyes growing angry.

He was a fool.

"Tamaki-Senpai?" Haruhi asked walking to stand beside Tamaki as he stared absently out of the window.

"Ah, hello Haruhi." He said quietly not looking from the window.

"Is something wrong?" She asked slightly concerned for the usually happy boy.

"Nope, just thinking. How are you doing?" His mood changed so suddenly Haruhi took a precautionary step backwards.

"I'm doing well." She laughed a little and started to walk away satisfied he wasn't in a depression of some sort.

"Where are you going, you're always running away from me." He reached over and snatched her out of mid step and squeezed her to his chest. She let out a gasp and started to yell at him. But he just blubbered on about nothing ignoring her demands for him to release her.

"Let go of her, she's ours!" The twins yelled rushing over suddenly to her. Haruhi kicked at them as they tried to grab a hold of her as well. She was desperate to be put down but no one else was around to help her. She looked over the room for Kyouya and saw that he was standing in the shadows of the far corner watching with a facial expression that frightened her to some degree. She wanted to call out for him, but something held her back.

"Let me go you idiot!" Haruhi yelled finally shoving out of Tamaki's arms, he started to pout and she just glared.

"You know how I feel about my personal space!" She scolded at him.

"I'm sorry, let me apologize." He quickly shouted raising one finger into the air.

"Ok." She waited crossing her arms over her chest she waited. What came was not what she expected at all, not what anyone in the room expected.

He leaned down and kissed her.
