Wait for me. Wait for me. Kyoya wait for me.
The words echo through my head as I lay here. It took me much too long, but eventually I did wait for her. By then though, it was too late. She had given up on waiting for me.
This didn't stop me from waiting on her.
I waited on her as I renewed and strengthened my friendship with Tamaki.
I waited on her with Tamaki as she gave birth to their daughter.
I waited on her with her family as we watched her win her first court case.
I waited on her with Tamaki and her daughter as she gave birth to her son.
I waited on her and Tamaki as I watched their two children.
I waited on her as I built up my business empire.
I waited on her as she cried into my arms after her father died.
I waited on her as she turned to Tamaki for comfort when he finally arrived.
I waited on her as I watched her children graduate.
I waited on her as we held vigil during her first grandchild's birth.
I waited on her as her second and third grandchild was born.
I waited on her as I coached my nephew in taking over my business.
I waited on her as we buried Tamaki and I held her as she cried.
I waited on her as she watched her grandchildren grow up.
I waited on her as our bodies grew tired from age.
And now, I wait on her, as I lie on my death bed. Waiting on her is the only thing keeping me here; I want to see her one last time before I go.
The door slowly swings open and her daughter, Elise, wheels her in. She looks tired and yet, when I look at her, I can still see the little girl chasing after me crying, "Wait for me. Wait for me. Kyoya wait for me."
Elise parks her wheelchair next to the bed and then leaves us alone. I look into Haruhi's wide brown eyes and let her see my soul; I don't want to hide it any longer.
"I'm sorry it took so long to get here. Elise was driving really slowly. I was afraid I'd be too late." She says softly, tears in her eyes.
It takes all of my strength, but I reach over and take her hand in mine. "You couldn't be too late; I was waiting for you, just like you asked."
Tears begin streaming down her beautiful, wrinkled face as she lets out a sob and pulls my hand up to her face. "Oh, Kyoya, why did it take you so long to wait for me?"
"Because I'm more of an idiot than Tamaki is," I manage to say. I feel her slipping farther away from me. Death is waiting for me, just behind the curtain.
"I love you," I manage to say before all strength leaves me.
As I slip across the curtain and into Death's arms I hear her saying, "Wait for me. Wait for me. Kyoya wait for me. I love you more than I can hardly stand. Wait for me. Wait for me. Kyoya please wait for me. I'll join you just as fast as I can."
Author's Note: And so their tragic story ends. I think I'll go find a box of tissue now.
If you want a happier story about them check out Love and Happiness, A Facade of a Relationship, It's Cold Outside, or Guardians of Less by E.M. Megs. All three are complete and the one by L.M. Megs is amazing.
Enjoy! Read! Review!
