Thank you so much for all of you who had reviewed and who had read my story. Here is a new chapter and I hope you enjoy it!
Tamaki opened the door to the hallway with shaking hands and he welcomed his customer:
- Hi, please come in. I'm sorry you had to wait.
- That's all right.
At the voice Tamaki took a good look at Kyoya. He hadn't recognised him because he had been so nervous that he hadn't looked at him properly and Kyoya looked a little different with his classes on and in his civil clothing. "Oh I can't believe it's him! Thank you, thank you!" Tamaki was ecstatic and he smiled brightly at Kyoya with a small blush adorning his cheeks.
Kyoya answered to Tamaki's smile with a smile of his own. "He's so beautiful…" For a moment both males just stood there staring and admiring each other until Kyoya knocked himself out of his trance and spoke:
- I'm sorry to trouble you but I hoped I could talk to you.
- Of course, come in!
Tamaki replied a little confused. "He just wants talk with me…?" Tamaki let Kyoya in and then closed and locked the door behind him. Then he turned to look at Kyoya. Both men were visibly nervous as they stood in Tamaki's room. Finally Tamaki gestured for Kyoya to sit in the nearest armchair. Kyoya sat down and he glanced at the water glass on the table next to his chair and suddenly his mouth felt dry so he asked:
- Could I have something to drink?
Tamaki had noticed how Kyoya glanced at the drugged water glass and he panicked thinking Kyoya was going to drink it and at his panicked mind state he didn't even hear Kyoya's question. He just dashed towards the table and picked the glass up making water spill on the table while he stuttered:
- No… y-…you ca-…can't drink it.
Kyoya stared at Tamaki confused and as Tamaki looked at Kyoya his question finally registered to his mind. Tamaki blushed red from embarrassment and he explained softly:
- I'm sorry… I panicked because I thought you would drink this… and the water… I put sleeping pills in it…
Tamaki lowered his head at his confession. "I shouldn't have told about it… I'm sure he will leave now and I will never see him again…but I just couldn't lie…not to him…" Tamaki was so troubled that he hardly even heard Kyoya's next question:
- Why?
When Kyoya noticed that Tamaki wasn't really listening to him he got up from his chair and now he stood right in front of Tamaki. Gently he placed his hand under Tamaki's chin and lifted his head so that he blond male was looking at him. There were tears in the corners' of Tamaki's eyes. For a moment they again just cased at each other until Kyoya took the glass from Tamaki's grasp and walked to the sink in the bathroom and poured the water out of the glass and then placed it on the tabled near the sink and went back to Tamaki. Tamaki was trying to wipe his eyes to get rid of the tears. "Why this had to happen? I always over react… but I don't want him to hate me… I want him to like me… I know I just met him but there's just something in him… and nobody has ever been so nice to me…" Again Kyoya stopped Tamaki's thoughts when he came back and took a hold of Tamaki's hand and lead the distressed blonde to sit on the bed while he sat next to him and spoke:
- Now Tamaki, could you please tell me why did you drug the water?
- I…I always do that when there's a customer for me…
Tamaki confessed quietly while looking at Kyoya and he could see the confusion written on the face of the other man so he continued. He told Kyoya how he hated to work here but he was forced to do that because his parents had died about a year ago and his grandmother wouldn't help him unless he worked for her.
- I have… never even slept with anyone… I always drug them so that I don't have to do anything with them and so far it has worked… I hate this… I hate it so much that I have to work here but if I don't my grandmother will kick me to the streets and I don't have any money… I wouldn't ever survive…
Tamaki's voice was quivering until he couldn't speak anymore as the sobs escaped from his mouth. His whole body was shaking and Tamaki wrapped his own arms around his body. "I'm…I'm so alone…" Tamaki had been alone since his parents had died. There was no one who he could talk with and no one to comfort him when cried himself to sleep. But at that moment Kyoya wound his arms around Tamaki's waist and pulled the crying male against his chest. He hoped that he wouldn't scare Tamaki with his actions but he couldn't just sit there and do nothing as the beautiful angel before him was suffering. First Tamaki froze but he relaxed quickly and he wound his own arms around Kyoya and pressed his face more firmly into Kyoya's shirt. Kyoya started shootingly rub Tamaki's back trying to comfort him as best as he could. "I'll do anything I can to help him…anything and everything… His special…perhaps this could work…perhaps we could work… I really can't deny it I'm falling for him and I'm falling hard but for now I just need to help him. I don't want Tamaki to think that I'm taking advantage of him." As Tamaki's sobs started to die down Kyoya started whispering soft words into Tamaki's ear:
- It's alright. I promise everything will be alright. I can help you… If you just let me help I will. We can get you out of here and you don't ever have to work in here again. We can find you another job so that you aren't tied to your grandmother anymore… I promise that everything will turn to better…Tamaki…
Tamaki listened at the soft whispers and promises. He wanted to stay in that moment forever: stay in Kyoya's arms listening to his soothing voice and he hugged Kyoya tighter never wanting to let go. "He's so wonderful. I want to be with him…always… I have heard a lot of promises but I have never believed in any of them but I believe that Kyoya will help me but I wonder what I could for living? There's so little things I can do…" Tamaki backed a little away from Kyoya's chest so he could look him in the eye as he voiced his thoughts:
- Thank you Kyoya! I would be s-so glad if you'd help me but… I really don't know what I could do to earn money. I don't have any education and I'm not really good at anything.
Kyoya's heart broke a little at Tamaki's wet face and the lack of confidence when he said that he wasn't good at anything so he comforted him:
- I'm sure we can think of something and you are young, you could go to a school and learn a profession. What would you like to do?
Tamaki bit his lip softly as he thought for a moment until he answered:
- I really don't know… and if I went to school I still need money and I don't have any…
Kyoya wondered this awhile he knew what he wanted to say but he wasn't sure how Tamaki would react. "I would want to ask for him to come and live with me. I could pay for his schooling then he could get a job… That way we would have time to get to know each other and maybe we could be something… Bad thoughts I know but I won't force him into anything. He can live with me as long as he likes… and leave as soon as he wants... I'll ask him."
- Tamaki if you want you could come and live with me while you're studying. I'll pay for it and when you've got a job you can pay back…
Kyoya trailed of as he looked at Tamaki waiting for him to answer. Tamaki stared at Kyoya with wide eyes his mouth open in a small "o". "He-…He's asking for me to live with him… I can't believe it… I must be in heaven… " The moment Kyoya waited for Tamaki to answer at him made him very nervous that he had just blown up any chances he might have had with the blond. He was just opening his mouth to apologise when he was suddenly tackled so that he fell on his back on the bed with a very ecstatic angel hugging him fiercely.
- Oh thank you Kyoya you are an angel. I would love to live with you. You have golden heart!
Then Tamaki realised what he was doing and he blushed releasing Kyoya. Then he climbed off from Kyoya and he also helped him back to a sitting position. Tamaki looked at Kyoya apolitically until he asked something that was slightly troubling him:
- I really appreciate this Kyoya thank you, but we just met why would you help me?
Now it was Kyoya's turn to blush and he turned his head to look at the floor. He was trying to make up a good excuse but in the end he decided that he couldn't lie he had to tell the truth. So he took a calming breathe until he turned his face to look back at Tamaki and answered:
- It's a bit hard to explain it but the minute I saw you…there was something special in you… and I… I like you and I want to get to know you better.
Again Tamaki blushed and he turned his head away from Kyoya shyly and the young sergeant became worried he had offended him so he apologized:
- I'm sorry if I offended you…that wasn't my intention.
That made Tamaki frantically shake his head as he turned back at facing Kyoya still blushing as he confessed:
- No, you didn't offend me, quite the opposite… I…I li-like you too.
The confession made Kyoya smile and he pulled Tamaki back against his chest and embraced him breathing in the soft flowery scent the male possessed. Tamaki sighed in happiness as he nuzzled Kyoya's chest. Neither could remember when was the last time they had felt so happy that they did right now. But now new doubts filled Tamaki's mind and he had to voice them:
- But Kyoya where do you get the money for my school and the money for food and other things we need in our every day lives? I know it will cost a lot more than a one police even if he's a sergeant can earn…
Tamaki's voice was slightly muffled because he refused to remove his face from Kyoya's chest but as Kyoya laughed softly he had to look at Kyoya. Kyoya smiled at Tamaki's confused expression. "He doesn't even know that I'm actually rich…and he still said he liked me… I'm just falling even more for him…He's so cute." Kyoya removed one of his hands from Tamaki's waist and lifted it to stroke his cheek as he asked:
- Do you know who is Kyoya Ootori?
- You
Tamaki asked feeling even more confused than before.
- Yes that is me but did you know that I'm one the richest men in Japan?
Tamaki's eyes widened and his mouth dropped open as the question registered in his mind and he numbly shook his head as a "no". Kyoya smiled at him even brighter and he bent his head to give a kiss on Tamaki's forehead. The action made Tamaki's cheeks redden and Kyoya brought both his hands to cup Tamaki's face and he stroked his reddened cheeks with his thumbs as he declared:
- You're so beautiful.
The redness on Tamaki's cheeks darkened at the compliment and he smiled softly at Kyoya while butterflies flew in his stomach. Kyoya watched Tamaki tenderly and asked another question:
- Is there anything else troubling you? I promised I will do anything I can to help you Tamaki.
- No there isn't. Thank you Kyoya!
Tamaki replied and wrapped his arms around Kyoya's neck giving a soft kiss on Kyoya's cheek and rested his head back against Kyoya's chest smiling when he heard the frantic heart beat. Kyoya pulled Tamaki closer to him wrapping his own arms around his lithe waist. For a long moment they just embraced each other tightly until Tamaki started yawning and they decided to go to sleep. They thought that it would be best if they just slept in the brothel and in the morning they would speak to Tamaki's grandmother and then they would move Tamaki's things to Kyoya's apartment. After that they would have time to make more plans about their future.
They got up from the bed and Tamaki went to his closet to change into his pyjamas while Kyoya just took his shirt off because he didn't have any sleep wear with him. They were both taking peeks at each other admiring the others body. After Tamaki had changed Kyoya offered that he could sleep on the floor but Tamaki was having none of that:
- Don't be silly. There's plenty of room in the bed… I mean…if you want to sleep with me..?
Even though Tamaki had started confidently he couldn't help being a little embarrassed as he realised just what he was saying. Kyoya only laughed at his cuteness and replied:
- I would love to share the bed with you I was jut worried it would make you uncomfortable.
Tamaki smiled at Kyoya's thought fullness and shook his head at the idea of Kyoya making him uncomfortable. Kyoya turned the lights off and they both settled on the bed. For a moment they laid there in silence next to each other until Tamaki shyly moved closer to Kyoya who in turn opened his arms and Tamaki laid his head on Kyoya's chest snuggling to Kyoya's side. Kyoya couldn't help but to smile at Tamaki and he pulled the blonde closer to him wrapping both of his arms around Tamaki. Before neither could fall asleep Tamaki asked one more question that was occupying his mind:
- Kyoya what made you come here tonight? Did you really come just to help me?
- Yes Tamaki I did… I noticed that you didn't seem happy to be working here while we made interviewing the workers here and I needed to be sure that you were alright.
- You're truly an angel Kyoya.
- No, you're the angel here.
Kyoya replied kissing Tamaki's head. Tamaki giggled softly at the gesture and the cheesy words but he loved them anyway and he squeezed Kyoya little tighter against himself and murmured:
- I really like you Kyoya.
- I like you too.
With these words both males drifted slowly to sleep with great hopes of a better future, a future that instead of me and you would include us.
Thank you for reading! I would love to hear your thoughts!
Love, Roo
