Kiss from a Rose

N is for Notes

Timeline: Haruhi is twenty-three and Kyoya is twenty-four.

Notes (lol): Alas, another non-suggestive one. I'm sorry!

Anyway, Happy Valentine's Day to all the couples out there!

Kyoya had been on a business trip the whole week, so Haruhi woke up on Valentine's Day alone.

It wasn't that she cared about the superficial holiday. She just missed Kyoya in general.

She had spent a few extra moments in bed and it was not because he had been holding onto her and refusing to let go.

After she laid there for five minutes, she decided that she was bored and rolled out of bed. She made her way to the bathroom and turned on the shower, turning up the heat until the steam started to billow.

The first note she found was the one sitting on the sink, sitting by a single bright red rose.

The paper was wrapped around a piece of chocolate. She gently pushed the gourmet confection into her mouth when she read the note.

A single rose can't equal my love for you.

Haruhi smiled as she savored the melting chocolate in her mouth, she set the note down by the rose and climbed into the shower.

The second note was on her dresser, sitting by her jewelry chest, by two red roses.

Haruhi smiled and shook her head. She was wearing the other rose in her hair (someone had removed the thorns). She unwrapped the note, finding another piece of gourmet chocolate inside.

Not even two can match your beauty.

She couldn't believe that he had left such a plan to the people in the house. She had forgotten to get him a Valentine's Day card; she was sure it wouldn't matter since they weren't even celebrating the day together. Apparently she was wrong.

Haruhi pulled the rose out of her hair and put it by the other two, making a grand total of three.

Wandering into her closet, she was surprise to find no notes amongst the clothes. She put on a pair of white jeans and a light gray silk shirt.

She set the two notes by the roses before going downstairs.

The third note was on the kitchen table, next to three roses and an empty crystal vase.

She read the note before she ate the chocolate.

A place to put your collection, but its well will never be deep enough to hold my love for you.

He already used that line, she thought as she chewed the chocolate. She turned around to go up stairs and fetch the other three roses.

Back in the kitchen, she filled the crystal vase with water and put the six roses inside of it. They were beautiful.

She looked around suspiciously, but with a smile on her lips. She wondered how many notes he left, and how many roses he had to buy to keep up with the 'add-one' thing he was doing.

She slipped the note into her jeans, and started to walk through the house, but her eyes didn't spot anymore notes.

She sighed, a little relieved. Sometimes she didn't know what to do with her husband's romantic side.

Walking back to the kitchen, she passed her office, and she remembered that there had been a file she had wanted to go over again. Funny, she hadn't remembered closing the door…

Opening the door to her office, her mouth fell open from the sight.

Her whole office was full of bouquets and bouquets of roses.

There was a note on her desk.

She stuffed the chocolate into her mouth, giggling as she looked at all the roses.

I love you. Call me.

She laughed and shook her head. She was going to have to think of something much more elaborate than just getting him a card when he got back.
