Author's Notes: Welcome to the sequel of 'Rose in a Garden!' I hope you enjoyed the first story. I enjoyed writing it so much, and I got so many views and reviews that I decided to write a sequel. This is still in Kyouya's PoV, but it might switch to Tamaki's once or twice. I hope you enjoy it! Review, enjoy, and cheers! ~ Double

Chapter 1: A few days after the end of 'Rose in a Garden'

I'm sitting in Anatomy class. Tamaki is sitting across the room from me, actually paying attention for once. The teacher is talking about male anatomy in specific right now. I don't even want to know what's going through Tamaki's head right now. It's probably a lot of sexual fantasies of me. Class ends when the bell rings.

"Remember," the teacher says. "The test on this is in a few days, so make sure to study."

Tamaki walks over to me. "Oh," he says to me seductively. "I'll make sure to study. I'll do it at your house, Kyouya."

I roll my eyes at him and walk out of class. He follows close behind me.

"Off to the host club," he says to me.

"I know where we're going, moron," I say to him.

He walks next to me with a little frown on his lips. "You insult me because you love me," he says.

I laugh. "Yes, I do."

He laughs with me. We walk to Music Room 3. I can hear the rest of the host club having a very in depth conversation. Wait, did I just hear my and Tamaki's name?

We walk in the room. The other members look at us with uneasy expressions. I suddenly become worried.

"What are you guys talking about?" Tamaki asks naively. They all exchange looks with one another as if they're determining who will tell. They all turn back to us, and Haruhi begins to speak.

"Lots of people were talking about you two going out."

My heart starts to race. Everyone knows our secret?

"How did this happen?" I think out loud.

Everyone shrugs their shoulders. "None of us said anything," Hikaru says. "Right?" The others nod in agreement.

I pick up my notebook and open it, trying to conceal the tears that are starting to form in my eyes. I walk into the prep room and sit in the corner, facing the wall. I take off my glasses, so I don't smear them with tears. My vision becomes blurry with tears as they fall down my cheeks. I haven't cried in such a long time. I am Kyouya Ootori. I'm not supposed to cry, but here I am, crying in the prep room all alone. I hear someone walk in.

"Kyouya," the voice says softly. "Are you ok?"

I stay silent. The figure walks over and places their hand on my shoulder.

"You can tell me what's wrong, Kyouya."

I face the figure and hug its legs tightly and cry into one of their pant legs. The figure kneels down next to me, causing my arms to slide along their body and hug around their waist. The figure holds me close, and speaks softly into my ear.

"It's alright, my love. Just calm down."

I know for sure now that it's Tamaki hugging me. I assumed it was him, but you never know.

He continues speaking softly to me, trying to calm me down. He rubs my back at a slow, steady

pace. I continue to cry, burying my face in his chest. I miraculously stop after what feels like hours.

"Are you ok now?" Tamaki asks me. I just shrug my shoulders. "What got you so upset anyway?"

I think about exactly what flashed through my mind. My father staring at me disapprovingly, telling me he hates me and that I have no chance at becoming his successor. Him telling me that he never wants me to talk or see Tamaki ever again. Never seeing Tamaki again. The last part rings through my mind for a while, and I start to cry again. My face returns to its place in Tamaki's chest. He sighs and holds me close to him. I would rather stay in here and cry into Tamaki's chest forever rather than letting him go. I stop crying after a few minutes.

"Are you ok now?" he asks worried about me. I nod my head and lean it against his chest.

"Are you sure?" he asks. I nod my head once again.

"Can you tell what got you so upset without crying again?" he asks me.

I sit quietly for a while. I finally speak up after a few minutes. "I'm really afraid. What are our fathers going to say to us? I just know they won't like it. I just know they're going to try and end our relationship." I feel tears coming to my eyes when I say about our relationship ending. It can't end. I can't lose him.

Tamaki holds me tighter and kisses me on the cheek. "We're gonna be ok, Kyouya. I just know we'll be ok."

Why do I feel like he's wrong? Why do I just know that our love is doomed? Don't think that way, Kyouya. You don't know yet, so don't keep believing it yet.
