My hair was in a messy bun, sneaking around this damn large mansion, it was like a maze. I searched for any safe exits checking my phone to find it was 11:30. Only thirty minutes, gosh this was exhilerating. My heart pounding and heels in my right hand, I looked around making sure he didn't catch me. I wonder if my brothers were home yet, I texted them, that I would get a ride from Kyoya anyways. I ran around a corner having no clue if I was going in the right direction. The lush carpet tickled my feet, and I glided my hand against a wall. I ran down the hall and made a left and found a door. I ran towards it hoping to find a balcony that I could climb out of. I was sweating like a dog and I was getting tired, but the excitement kept me going. I didn't want to stay here for the rest of my highschool life. I found the door was locked and I ran to the next door, this one was unlocked but it seemed just another living room with a couch and a coffee table. I didn't even realize someone else was there until I heard laughter. I turned towards the noise, squinting my eyes hoping it wasn't who I thought it was. I heard the door click closed, shit. I was trapped and now I definitely wouldn't be able to escape. I walked up to the door hoping it was unlocked but no such luck. I looked at the time 15 minutes till 12 midnight. I sat and laid myself on the couch. I fell asleep knowing there was no use, and I was quite tired. I had only taken a five minute nap but I realized I had hair clips and just for emergencies, I knew how to pick locks. I took out my hair pins making sure it was exactly how I needed it to be in order for it to work. Sadly it took longer than expected, meaning I had only 7 minutes left. I rushed out of the room, zooming through the halls hoping to escape. I somehow recognized the hall which was close to the balcony where we first started this ridiculous game. 5 minutes left. I reached it but there I found Kyoya as if he was always there waiting. "Do you give up, or are you going to go run for these last few minutes," He asked amused, by not just my appearance but as well as him thinking he actually won. I ran straight and jumped of the balcony, I had realized there was an lake or pool of some type at the beginning and I would use that as a last resort. I fell in however I seemed to have injured myself when jumping. I had twisted my ankle when leaping of the edge putting to much pressure on one foot. I clenched my teeth in pain trying not to cry out. Kyoya had ran over to me huffing, with a frantic look in his eyes. I wish I could take a picture of his face right now, but I was aching, and in quite alot of pain. Oh god, mom's going to kill me when she finds out i ruined my phone. I got out of the water and stood balancing on my one good foot then checking how badly I had injured it. Kyoya rushes over seeing what I was doing. "You shouldn't out pressure on it you might damage it even more," He informs as he comes in front of me then kneels and takes my pale foot into his hands. "Well how am I going to know how much it hurts and dont worry I can work through it," I trying to reassure him. As I take my foot out of his grasp, I start putting a little pressure hoping for a simple sprain, but instead it resulted in searing pain. Kyoya groans and lifts me up into his arms. I felt very awkward in his arms, and this close with him. He carries me to a small bedroom, or more like a large bedroom that fits all of our bedrooms and part of our kitchen. "Kyoya you can put me down, you don't have to carry me to a bed," I protest.
"Hah, most girls would die to be carried like a princess by me," He confesses.
"Well, I am not like other girls so you can stop trying to impress me," I honestly say.
"You are one mysterious girl, and no I won't put you down not just because you want me to, but also because of you are one not to be trusted to stay off their foot to heal," He explains quite accurately about me. He lay me on the unused, comfy bed, which if I am being honest would want to just live in for the rest of my life. I fall asleep in an instant, and seem to have waken up with Kyoya-senpai' hand in mine. Well, Mom did say I was grabby when I was sleeping. However I was still somehow shocked, at having Kyoya laying in bed right next to me. I tried letting go of his hand however it seemed he had quite a grip on my hand as well. I stare puzzled at the cold hearted yet caring boy who lay asleep next to me. He actually looked quite peaceful, I grabbed a phone that I assumed was his and started taking pictures of the cold prince, that lay so vulnerable in front of me. His eyelashes were quite long, and he had clear pale skin, opposite to his dark brown and black hair. Bored, I started looking at his hand observing at his thin long fingers that wrapped around my own bony hand. I took a picture realizing this would be great to draw in art class when I had time. Suddenly I was pulled towards Kyoya, who had made a small My eyes were about to pop out and stayed silent with my back pressed up against his chest. He was now embracing me, and seemed to be sleeping soundly, or maybe just pretending. When I turned my head to see his face. I found his eyes where half open with a smirk. "Kyoya, I have to go home, we have school today and I don't want to be late," I complain, as I try withering out of his arms. He held tight and said, "I have some clothes here you can use, and anyways this is your home for the next three years so get comfy," He reminds me of he bet. "Ugh, a deals, a deal, but that means I have to bring all my clothes here so I still have to go home," I point out.
"I can just send some people over to pick up your things," He says it as was obvious. "Yeah, but I still choose what I want to bring and I want to say goodbye to my brothers and tell what happened,"
His eyes closed, he seemed quite tired and aggravated and he answered, "Fine, we will go after club activities. However, you will need to dress in the proper uniform."
"What? Why?" I question not understanding his requirement.
"You live with me now so you should be given the correct resources and with you not having the uniform it will look bad on me," He says.
"I rather wear the boys schooluniform," I tell him.
"Fine, but you have to wear a school uniform," He agrees.
He takes the phone out of my hand and finds the pictures, he puts his glasses on and looks "Taking picture of me, I see," He recognizes with a sly smile. Flinching, I try explaining myself, "I wanted to draw and also, I like you better when you are asleep, you look very vulnerable and not on guard." Kyoya clenches his teeth and gulps, then the tip of his ears turn red. "Are you embarrassed?" I realize.
"Let's go we need to get to school. Your uniform will arrive tomorrow," He avoids the conversation getting out of bed and starts walking towards a door, "Hey, where's the bathroom and I need new clothes," I call my demands to him.
"Check the first drawer and this is the bathroom,"as he opens a white door with gold borders and closes it behind him. I get up making sure to not put to much pressure on my newly injured ankle. I checked the mahogany wooden drawer up against the right wall from the bed. I pulled open the first drawer praying to not find the sunshine yellow preppy dress. I breathed a sigh of relief when I only saw fabric in the color of black and white. I take out the clothing to find it is a black plain dress with a white collar and cuffs, with the dress ending right before the knees. I found next to the acceptable but too girly dress, a pair of black flats that seemed to fit me perfectly. I had also found a small brace for my ankle which I put on and then slipped the flat on hoping it would fit, and just my luck it did. I took off the brace to do some little stretches on my ankle extending it in different directions slowly moving it in a small circle. I put on the dress, brace and shoes then waited for Kyoya. He came out half naked I flinch and try focusing on his eyes. "We are going to be late," I inform him, as I turn my head quickly to the clock and got up and as quick as possible reached the door. "I'll give you some privacy, where is the front door?" I say while opening the door. "Make a left go down make a right and down the stairs then make a right and turn left and straight to the front door," he instructs. My head tries to memorize his words, however before I could slip out Kyoya had pushed the door closed and I turned to find him hovering over me, with a smirk. His chest exposed and the close proximity made my heart pound in my ears. I stared up into his onyx grey eyes, not letting my wobbly nerves take hold I stood tall I stayed defiant to his tactics. He started moving his body and face closer and closer to mine until he was a mere centimeter from my face. I held my breath, waiting for him to move, as I stared bravely in front of him, as if I didn't even realize we were practically kissing each other. I pressed my back to the wall feeling like the temperature was rising, he slowly moved past my face and to my ear and said, "Watch out, this is where the real game begins," before he bit my ear making me actually blush. He backed away with a sly grin after seeing my expression turning to a drawer on the left wall and grabbed a white shirt and started buttoning it up. I slipped out and closed the door before sliding down the door bewildered by the previous events. I shook my head from my daze and started walking trying to remember his instructions, however each time I tried I remembered his body close to mine almost as if he would kiss me, making me shiver then slap my face and keep walking. I finally reached the front door and exited to find a black limo waiting. A butler opened the door with a smile and greeted me, "Good morning Ms. Mei Kokuyo, we have breakfast in the car. Have a wonderful Friday at school!" I smile gently at him and step in sliding all the way to the end. "Umm, excuse me do mind knowing where my back pack is?" I ask the young butler. Kyoya exits and slips into the limo without acknowledging the butler. "It is in the trunk Miss, and good morning Mr. Kyoya have a wonderful day at school," He replies then closes the door. The limo starts moving and then just by a touch of a button a small table of food is brought out with a glass of orange juice, French toast covered with a light layer of powdered sugar, there was a small cute glass saucer filled with maypole syrup, and some strawberries, a few slices of an orange, and on the side a bagged lunch. I smiled looking at the cute meal. "Hey, Kyoya my phone got damaged could we buy a new one, I can pay for it, but I kind of destroyed mine last night," I tell him.
"No worries, I already have a new phone for you but I couldn't find your ancient prototype of a phone you had. Here it is the latest prototype, that we have been playing around with and tested." He hands me the very advanced phone, all black with a clear case covered in detailed and intricate white designs. " She clicked the home button which had two o's connected to each other and it glowed to life. It had all my contacts and I texted my brothers at once, finding mom's number, and Makai's number. I texted each of them, making sure to tell them it was me, and I would be going to school with a friend, that I was fine and I loved them. Soon enough we reached school, and we both stepped out of the elegant limo, with many of the girls staring at me, but before I could react my brothers tackled me into a hug. God they are so protective sometimes, it's not like I am five or something. I hug them while rolling my eyes with a small grin. " Kyoya, thank you for taking care of our sister," They said while bowing very low. Kyoya, had already started writing in his notebook, and looked up and gave them a small nod before looking me straight in the eye and reminded, " I will see you this afternoon and the limo will be picking us up." He turns and walks towards the school, with his long thin legs leaving me to explain everything to my shocked and confused brothers. "What is he talking about Mei?" Makage asks.
"I'll tell you later, but right now lets get to class."
We walk into the loud classroom and once again the classmates paid attention to us, however it seemed, everyone was staring at me. "What are you all looking at, go back to your business," I tell them, as we walk to our seats. Sadly, the quirky twins came rushing towards us, with giant evil smiles. "Well, well, look at our little commoners already quite popular," Kaoru comments.
"What is it now? Why did you say that?" Makai can't help puzzling over what Kaoru had said.
"Our pretty little emo princess over here seems to be very intimate with Kyoya sempai," Hikaru answers.
"You guys, should really stop poking your heads in other people's business," Haruhi says in a monotone voice, probably studying late and not a morning person.
"Morning Haruhi, rough morning?" I politely ask.
"Something like that," Haruhi answered. Soon the bell rings and our last day of the first week of school began.
In a matter of hours it was time for their after school club activities with everyone except me to host and pleasure their guests. I had found out Kyoya had bought supplies for costumes and they had just come in. I felt the material in my hand, and thought of what was needed to be done. "I will need to make measurements and can the group of helpers come next week on Monday? I should be able to make a prototype or one of the finished copies for one of you, also I will need your measurements so during your times without guests I will ask you to come with me to be measured" I order.
"Yes, I can call them to start next week, I can also give you our scheduled times with out guests and when we will be free," Kyoya confirmed. I nod and start looking at my drawings trying to choose the best one. I flipped through the pages, I saw a kimono design, or formal, casual, flannel, pajamas, prince, togas, beach themed, summer themed, spring themed, winter themed, and much more. " I would choose formal Christmas and winter costumes. We are having our annual Christmas party soon," Kyoya says over my shoulder breathing chills down the back of my neck.
" Really? That is exciting." I now search for a good design that would fit for the occasion. I didn't have any Christmas themed so instead I decided to do something formal. I thought of Christmas tree thinking how each was a colorful ornament and decided to choose certain colors and types of suits for each of them. "Can I start getting measurements?" I ask and Kyoya nods and stands.
"I will go since I mostly am the manager and I have time. Follow me." I follow Kyoya, taking a measuring tape, and a small notepad with a pencil. I hang the measuring tape around my neck and write down Kyoya's name. I enter into a smaller room, and think of what I might need to measure. Chest, wing span, waist, neck, legs, I think that's all. Kyoya takes off his jacket and sits on a table. He takes out his notebook and writes down something. "What is it that you write in that notebook of yours?" I curiously wonder.
"Do you really want to know?" He asks with a unexpected deeper voice. Hesitantly I say yes walking up to him standing tall. He smirks and leaps off the table notebook in hand and says, "It is a book of secrets," He steps closer to me, "Information," I take a step back unsure of what he was doing. "things about people, the guests, the host club, even you" I go straight toward him defying my nervous feelings and push him towards the table. He smiles and turns making me the one who is trapped. "You know I quite enjoy some of our alone times," He comments in a raspy whisper, his warm breath on the side of my neck. I gulp, as I try to stay as still as possible when I feel Kyoya's lips on my neck, I felt a sharp pinch making me flinch. He lets go and smiles looking at the spot his lips had made contact with my skin. We stared deep into each others eyes, trying to read each other getting nowhere. Why does he act this way with me only?
