The others stared blankly at Kaoru and I as we trudged back into the house covered in snow. I looked awkwardly over at him. Reassuringly he gave me a smile. "Why are you all wet?" Hunny asked, squeezing his rabbit to his chest. His bottom jaw was quivering. "There was so much yelling! What happened! What's wrong?"
Mori mumbled something in his ear, scooping his tiny body up and carrying him over to the couch where he told him to stay. Hunny obeyed, and began to fiddle with his bunny again, instantly forgetting. Hikaru suddenly walked in the room out of breath. He clasped over, gripping his knees and trying to catch his breath. "Hikaru?" Kaoru suddenly asked quietly, extending his hand to his brother. "Are you okay, Hikaru?"
Hikaru's head shot up at the sound of his brother's voice. He didn't receive the presence with much happiness though. "Why would you do that?" He snapped, surprising Kaoru. "You think you can just run away and pretend like I don't care!?" Kaoru hung his head sadly, upset that he had worried his brother. "… I'm sorry," Hikaru suddenly apologize, looking down at the ground. "I didn't mean to shout."
Tamaki scratched his head lazily. "I still don't get what's going on," he mumbled, shaking his head back and forth. He looked over at Haruhi who glared at his presence. He gave her a wide smile, and a cute laugh. "What?" He laughed, sliding over to her. "It's a party, not a girl's sleepover."
"Hey!" She shrieked. "What's that supposed to mean, huh?"
He shrugged. "Just saying, girls have a lot of drama."
"You would have a better understanding over drama than I would, you nit wit!" Haruhi yelled back at Tamaki, although he managed to stay as cool as ever. I laughed at the sudden dignity in my friend's nature. Tamaki would normally be weeping if Haruhi were to yell at him.
My eyes caught another figure re-entering the room. Everyone's head snapped up as Kyouya stood in the doorway, adjusting his sleeve cuffs. When looking up, he stared at all of us blankly. "What?" He snickered, pushing his glasses up his nose. "Idiots."
A wide smile spread across my face. That was the Kyouya we all knew, and he was back, and now that we were all good again, I was ready for the party to really begin. "Hold on," Karou suddenly said, as though having an idea. "I need to get something out of the kitchen really fast."
He quickly made his way past me, towards the kitchen, hitting me in the arm and sending me forward in surprise. I gasped, realizing that he had purposely bumped me into Kyouya's arms. Kyouya caught be with alarm, then relaxed after a moment or two, sending me a smile. Everyone stared at us, and instead of being awkward, they all seemed sort of… pleased.
"Oh wait," Kaoru suddenly said, smiling. "I forgot I didn't really need anything in the kitchen after all. My bad!" I shot him a playful look, unwrapping myself from Kyouya's arms.
"Thanks for catching me," I said quietly to Kyouya.
He inclined his head slightly. "I'll always be there to catch you."
Unfortunately, he hadn't said that so quiet, and Tamaki seemed to get a huge joy out of it. "Wait, a minute, so you finally did it?" He gasped, clasping his hands together, his eyes growing wide and childish. Kyouya shrugged, giving him a nod. "Aha!" He laughed happily, jumping into the air.
"Did what?" I raised a brow, looking between the two of them. "Wait, what are you talking about? You mean, you planned to…" I lowered my voice, embarrassed. "kiss me… tonight?"
Kyouya blinked, his composure staying the same. "I don't see so much harm in it, considering it was what was needed to be done." I stood, dumbfounded. So, he had known about it the entire time? I felt stupid there; wondering all the while why Kyouya was acting so strange and nervous around me earlier that day. It was irrational however, for me to guess.
"That was stupid," I confessed. "You shouldn't plan things like that, it should just come to you naturally, you know?"
Hunny smile and peeked over from the coach. "Can we see it? Can we see it?"
Shaking my head wildly back and forth, I raised my hands in alarm. "What? No! You can't see it! Well, I mean, not that I'm ashamed or… anything like…" Kyouya looked at me, waiting an answer. "Oh, forget it. It's not even worth trying to explain."
Kyouya frowned. "Ah, but don't you need spontaneity?"
"No," I laughed, amused. "Things should be planned." I suddenly thought back to what he said about planning the kiss, and how I found it ridiculous. A wave of stupidity brushed across my face. "Oh, wait. Never mind. I take that back."
Kyouya smiled, reeling me in towards him. "I'm going to kiss you now. There, I warned you. It was planned." Before I could object, I suddenly felt his soft lips pressing against mine once more, as my temperature began to raise. I awkwardly stood holding him, nervous to be doing this in front of my friends.
Tamaki began to laugh suddenly as we broke apart. "Amaya, you're so awkward!" Hunny nodded in agreement. "So, what are you thinking now?"
I smiled to myself, focusing on the window outside. The snow was falling down lightly, the light from the driveway shining down nicely upon it. In my head I found it serene, and beautiful. Peaceful; as though everything was in its place. That's how it felt now… Being in that room with my friends, and the people who I knew cared about me. I didn't know what was going to happen with Kyouya, or even Kaoru. I didn't know when my father would be home, or what Hana was going to do when she needed an adult figure in her life. I was unsure about a lot of things. However, there was one thing that was on my mind more than others.
"The host club just got interesting."
