Chereads / Big Sister Fujioka!!! Ouran High school fic / Chapter 41 - Chapter 41: Until the Day it Becomes a Pumpkin!

Chapter 41 - Chapter 41: Until the Day it Becomes a Pumpkin!

For all intents and purposes, Jin knew she probably should've started taking bets on how long it would take for the host club's next 'adventure' to begin. Ever since her friend's visit from America last month, life had been pretty… normal. They went to school, hung out in Music Room 3, did homework, and that was it. Nothing 'Host Club' crazy had happened in over thirty days. It was kinda nice, but Jin knew it was only a matter of time before something happened.

Still, she wouldn't mind waiting for a little while longer.

She smiled as she felt a squeeze over her left hand, long fingers curling around her palm in a silent way of saying 'I'm glad you're close enough to touch'. Jin's brown eyes slid away from 'The Red Pyramid' to watch Kyoya flip another page of his journal. They were sitting in their classroom, waiting for the rest of the students to arrive before Kyoya and Ayame Jounouchi went up to the front of the room and begin their weekly class discussion. Until then, however, Jin was happy enough to read on top of Kyoya's desk, with her hand in his.

Kyoya must've known he was being watched, because he looked up from his journal and met his girlfriend's gaze. With a small smirk, he gently lifted her hand to his lip for a short kiss. Jin averted her eyes, hiding her face behind her book. Despite having already passed their first month anniversary (Tamaki had quite possibly been more excited about that date than they had been), Kyoya always knew exactly what action would fluster her the most. Whether it was footsie in the cafeteria or tugging her behind a pillar for a quick kiss in the hallways, it seemed to be his goal to shower Jin in small, hidden displays of affection that left her chest all warm and bubbly.

Just then, the ravenet stood up and set the journal down, giving Jin's hand one last caress before walking up to the front of the room. Sighing, because she always hated when their 'affection times' -as the twins had so helpfully dubbed them- came to an end, Jin slid off his desktop and into her own seat. Tamaki smiled dopily at her and she rolled her eyes.

"Oh, shut up."

"I didn't even say anything."

"You didn't have to."

Despite her tone, Tamaki was still grinning as Kyoya started talking about events and activities that would be happening around Ouran Academy over the weekend. He was acting like nothing could go wrong now that Kyoya and Jin were together, and while Jin found it sweet, sometimes she wished she could get him to focus on his own budding relationship with her sister. Seriously, how could people be so attuned to her relationship when such a cute ship was happening right under their noses?

No, she did not care that everyone thought Haruhi was a guy. That should've made them more obsessed over it, if anything.

"Next item on our agenda, the class event next week."

As a few of her classmates started chattering amongst themselves, Jin turned to the blond beside her, "Class event?"

"Hm? Oh, yeah, you wouldn't know. After exams, we're given a few days off, usually until Halloween, before going back to our lessons. Each class tends to hold an event, like movie viewings or other social events, typically leaning towards celebrating Halloween."

"Really? That sounds like fun!" Jin smiles, then shakes her head, "I never would've expected such a prestigious school to give so many days off."

"Well, if she doesn't like it, then why doesn't she just leave?"

Instantly Jin's mood darkened. She doesn't even bother looking around, preferring to watch as Ayame scribbled 'Halloween Dance' on the board at the front of the classroom. After all, it's no secret who just spoke. One of the girls in Kyoya's in-class fan club. Three girls would just couldn't understand why Kyoya and Jin walked into class together every day instead of Kyoya dropping to his knees in front of them to declare his love.

"Shut up, Ai! She just didn't know!"

And there would be the second club in the room -forgetting about Tamaki's for the moment- the KyoJin fanclub.

Yeah, who would've thought, right? Apparently, their potential romance had been a big thing all around Ouran; not just in the host club. Back sometime in September, a boy from Class 2-B had tried to confess to Jin, only to be told she was already in a relationship with someone. After that, the story had spread through the entire school like wildfire, Kyoya's name in every single one of the rumors. It came to a head when Jin and Kyoya had walked into a hallway together and they realized everyone was staring at them. The two exchanged a glance before Kyoya slipped an arm around her waist and tugged her close.

The entire hallway had erupted into cheers.

Jin had seen a few girls printing out 'KyoJin' t-shirts in the art rooms and the term 'Power couple' was almost synonymous with that ship name. It was a little overbearing at times. Still, Kyoya didn't seem bothered by it, and so long as they weren't outwardly interfered with, Jin supposed she could ignore it all, too.

"Hey, why don't we let Jin suggest something? Surely she knows of a few fun things Americans like to do during Halloween!"

The brunette blinks herself out of her daydream and sees everyone has their eyes on her, "Oh, well… I guess there were a few things, but I'm not sure how they would appeal to you. I mostly hung out with the marching band students while in America, so it wasn't like we could afford anything extravagant. Besides, I've never seen a class even before. I'm not quite sure what to expect like the rest of you." She smiled a bit, "You all probably have better ideas than I do."

Surprisingly, Ayame was the one to look over her shoulder and smile at the other brunette, "Nonsense! Even if we don't pick your idea, I for one would like to hear about what commoners do for fun and relaxation!"

Do jello-shots count? Another couple blinks, "Well, I always enjoyed bonfire nights."

"Bonfire?"

"What's that?"

"Um, basically it's when a large group of people gather around a fire pit and you make a large fire. I know it doesn't sound like much, but it's pretty fun. There's always a bunch of different things going on, like people making S'mores, playing flashlight games in a nearby field, sharing funny or scary stories, swapping jokes, stargazing. It's socializing in a very relaxed atmosphere. Sometimes, we even purchased some stuff that changes the color of the fire. I went to five bonfire nights last year and always had a blast."

By the end of her explanation, the rest of her classmates were gabbing away at each other. A bonfire night did sound like a lot of fun, and if scary stories were being swapped, then what better way to celebrate Halloween? Even the three girls who didn't like her were grudgingly agreeing that the bonfire she'd described did sort of sound like fun.

"Thanks, Jin! A bonfire actually sounds like a great idea! And everyone can wear their costumes!"

"Who seconds the motion?"

"Seconded!"

Everyone's hands went up.

Jin grinned as Kyoya smirked, "The motion passes unanimously. Class 2-A's class event will be a bonfire night in the courtyard between the high and middle school on Halloween night."

The class agreed.

*Time Skip*

The host club's guests opened the front doors into complete darkness. As they watched, a single flame ignited deep within the room. Ooh-ing and giggling amongst themselves, a few of the braver girls began inching their way inside. A few more flames flickered into existence, drawing the more frightened souls further in.

Finally, they came across all of the tables and chairs the host club used. They had been pulled further into the room for ambiance. In the faint glow of the candle light, the girls could see seven shadows further in the back.

"Trick or treat, girls." Tamaki stepped forward into the light, his fake vampire teeth glistening brightly in the glow. He was in typical vampire get-up, high-collared cloak and everything, and he even had a 'romanian' accent. It made the girls more giggly as they started sitting down. The rest of the hosts came into the dim lighting, also wearing vampire cosplay. And while the clothes themselves were painfully cliche, no one was denying that the boys made it look hot.

"What brave young girls who have ventured into our lair." The three girls sitting alone at a table to the far side of the room suddenly looked up. The purr in Jin's voice had sent an unlikely thrill down their spines, and her outfit was just as daring and dark as her tone. She was wearing a victorian styled dress with a red corset and a short black and red skirt. Beneath it, she had on fishnet leggings and black flats, and a jet black cape hung from her shoulders down to her calves. She smiled coyly, her fangs looking wickedly sharp, and the way her hair was pinned up in an elegant knot gave her a timeless appearance.

"Wow, Jin…"

"You look great!"

"Are you going to be a vampire for Halloween, too?"

The brunette smiled gently before taking a seat, a hand coming up to fiddle with heart-shaped pendant hanging from her black choker, "No, I'm not the biggest fan of these fangs. And besides, I've had my halloween costume planned out since April."

One of the girls looked over her shoulder and back again, "Well, I'm sure someone really appreciates your cosplay right now."

Jin smiled a little wider, but kept her focus away from the ravenet standing across the room, "Ladies, I'd like you all to know that while I greatly appreciate your support of my relationship, I do like talking to you all as well. So please, while you're here, just enjoy yourselves. You don't need to make this all about me."

The girls squealed, "You're such a beautiful person, Jin! Inside and out!"

"It must run in the Fujioka lineage to be so kind hearted!"

"Ha, not so sure about that." At the third voice, Jin turned to see Haruhi walking over, humor dancing in her eyes.

"Don't be such a downer, Haru. Well, go on, get into your cosplay, you're late. As per usual." Haruhi sticks her tongue out, and Jin responds, prompting her guests to fawn over the cute sibling love.

"Actually, Jin-"

"-that's what we came in here for."

"Boss~"

Tamaki backed away from his own guest and frowned, "What? Why aren't you changed yet?"

"From now until Halloween-"

"-you guys are going to be down three hosts, okay?"

That sure got everyone's attention. Tamaki screamed 'what' so loudly the curtains surrounding him shook.

"We're on the preparations committee for our class event. Good luck without us here for a week!"

The the blond started grilling the twins on 'what sort of class event are you doing that requires a full week of preparations', Jin got up from her chair and hugged her sister close, "You be careful, okay?"

"We're just setting up, Nēchan. Besides, it's not like I won't be seeing you every day."

"What I mean is don't fall off a ladder or have something heavy hit your head. I don't want to be worrying about you for the next week."

"Pssh, like you won't do that anyways." Despite it all, Haruhi didn't sound very upset at being doted on. Then she smirked, "And it something does hit my head, I sure hope it blocks out that memory I have of you and Kyoya-sen-"

"Okay! That's enough now! You kids go have fun!" With one hand covering her sister's mouth, Jin quickly steered the shorter brunette over to the twins who all but carry her out of the room. No need to let the guests hear about the moment her sister had walked in during hers and Kyoya's 'honeymoon phase'.

Just as the doors boom shut, throwing the club room back into darkness, Jin felt a warm hand sneak around her waist and tug her into a strong chest. She gasps as warm lips peck at the back of her neck, just below where the choker rested. Goosebumps erupted up and down her arms and legs as two dulled fangs playfully poked at her bare skin before a low voice rumbled in her ear.

"You're blushing, darling." Another wave of goosebumps at the hot breath on her ear lobe, "Vampire aren't supposed to have blood running through their veins. Are you perhaps… an impostor?"

As the shock began to wear off, Jin collected her thoughts enough to smirk and face Kyoya, her hands pressed against his chest, "Not at all. It would seem as though you didn't take all my blood when you Turned me, Glasses. I suppose I'll just have to live my life being an anomaly."

Hands roaming up and down the strings along the back of her corset, Kyoya leaned down a little further, "Hm, well that's why I like you so much. You're not like the rest."

He was dimly aware that he and Jin had acquired a small audience behind the nearest curtain, but couldn't find it in himself to care as the brown eyes before him darked, Jin's pupils widening in anticipation. There was a brief moment of hesitation in which he worried their 'fangs' might make kissing a little difficult, but by the time he decided to ignore it until it became a problem, it was too late.

A dark, malicious sounding cackle leaked out of one of their coffin decorations. Jin turned her head at the sound, Kyoya planting a kiss on her cheek a moment later. He can't help but think 'Missed' as he gives his attention to the strange sound as well.

A lid slowly swung open, revealing Nekozawa-senpai curled up inside. For once, the boy looked completely at home in his surroundings. His shoulders weren't slouched, and while the smile on his face wasn't any less evil than before, it lacked the occasional nervous dips that came with him being in a brightly lit atmosphere.

"Ume-kun? What are you doing here?"

"Hm… two reasons. One, I overheard a few weeks ago that my old music tutor and friend is now in a relationship with a particular shadow king." He tilted his head up enough to let his brilliant blue eyes shine through the darkness. His gaze bore into Kyoya, but the ravenet simply stared back at him, uninterested, and mildly upset at how he'd been cheated out of a kiss.

Realizing he wouldn't be able to intimidate the other boy so easily, Umehito dropped his hood once more, "I have a brand new spellbook full of curses, and I personally can not wait to try them out if he ever brings emotional or physical harm to you, Jin-chan."

"If that's the case, then I suggest you simply throw the book out. You won't be getting any use out of it."

Jin pressed her face into Kyoya's shirt, enjoying how he welcomed the physical contact by tightening his grip on her.

Nekozawa's lips twitched into a small smile. That's precisely what he'd been hoping to hear, but he couldn't let Kyoya know. "Moving on, Class 1-A is throwing a Test of Courage tournament. As President of the Black Magic club, I must oblige… after all, what is Halloween without a healthy dose of pure, unadulterated terror?"

Nekozawa started his creepy laugh again as the coffin lid slowly slid shut without touching it. Jin pulled her head away from Kyoya's chest, watching with interest until her friend disappeared from view.

"Well, this ought to be interesting."

"Yes, I would imagine so."

*Halloween Night*

"Kotokana-san… she had her heart set on this tournament. How could I say no? I didn't want to let her down..."

"Oh, crap! He's totally pure!"

"He's got a heart of gold, Hikaru!"

High above the four first year students, a girl was crouching by the staircase wrapped in a black cloak. She smiled warmly, though no one saw it, before moving back into the shadows. Turning her face to look out the window, she nodded once and slipped into a neighboring room.

Whoosh

"...Um… did you guys just see that?"

"Aw come on!"

Smirking, she lifted a skull out from under her cloak and tossed it out of the room, hearing it slowly bounce down the stairs. One… two… three...

"AAAAAAHHHHH!"

Jin stuffed her face into her cloak to muffle her giggles.

Just like clockwork, the rest of the plan played out exactly like Nekozawa said it would. In no time at all, all the 1st years were trapped, separated from each other, too. The darkly clothed boy was clearly having the time of his life, until he noticed something.

"Ootori-san, are you not going to join in on the fun?"

"No, I am not. I have… something more interesting on my mind."

He looked away from the locked door Kaoru and Class 1-A's President were now prisoners behind over to where Jin had crawled out of her hiding place. She was still giggling, swatting at Tamaki good-naturedly when he tried to sneak up behind her with that shriveled mask of his.

The blond had tried to insist that she wear a princess dress that night in an attempt to 'protect Jin's innocence now that she was in Kyoya's clutches' but Jin had shot him down. She showed up that evening dressed up like a Hogwarts student, instead: Black cloak, a Hufflepuff crest and tie, black slip-ons, white knee socks, a gold and black plaid skirt, and a white button down shirt. Tamaki had deemed it appropriate enough and let it go, but that didn't mean Kyoya didn't stare every once in awhile. It wasn't often Jin wore a skirt beside the long black one that was her uniform. He wondered where she had been hiding this one.

Still, now that neither of them were needed to finish up their plan to frighten the 1st years… they did have a bonfire to attend.

"Excuse me."

He walked over just as Jin finished removing the large pumpkin off of Honey's head. It was a little too heavy to stay on the young boy's shoulders and Mori-senpai was busy getting Honey's bunny costume. The cousins had a class event later on tonight as well.

The large orange vegetable fell to the floor with a solid thunk.

"Thanks, Jin-chan!" He hugged her and ran of to find his cousin. Jin sighed and stood up, turning around just as Kyoya reached her.

"I'm always amazed by how well you handle children."

"Hm. It's been awhile since you've said that." She smiled, "Ready to go to our own event? We're not needed here."

"That's exactly what I was thinking."

Jin nodded and waved goodbye to their friends as she followed her boyfriend down the hallway. They'd be using the back exit instead of the front doors tonight so the other 1st years wouldn't spot them. Tamaki had said a few days ago that he wouldn't be attending the bonfire until much later, not wanting to leave the courage tournament until Haruhi was safely out of it. The couple didn't argue, glad to have a moment to themselves (they had been preparing for this trick all week, and Nekozawa was brutal if someone tried to skip out of their meetings).

As the two walked along, Jin couldn't help but think the empty hallways and glowing pumpkin heads were a little creepy. They cast strange shadows on the floor, and the distant screams behind them weren't helping much either. But when Kyoya moved close enough to wrap a comforting arm around her waist, she managed to push those thoughts out of her mind.

There wasn't anything to be afraid of here.

"So, you decided not to dress up tonight? Or… are you going as 'The Shadow King'?" The ravenet looked down at her, an eyebrow arched, "What? It certainly is frightening enough."

The boy smirked. And, before she thought she could get away with it, added, "I could add to your debt for that comment and not feel guilty in the slightest."

"Oh, but you won't."

"And why not?"

"...'Cuz."

Kyoya stopped dead in his tracks. Jin stopped as well, mostly because of the arm holding her close, but before she could question why they did she found herself pulled into a kiss. Jin's knees nearly buckled at the powerful emotions behind it, despite the soft lips pressed to hers. Even after such a long, wonderful month, kissing Kyoya had yet to lose that simple trick of being both meaningful and passionate.

She could only hope it never would.

They drifted closer, Jin not knowing whether she was the one moving or if it was Kyoya, but not caring much either. A single finger traced her jawline, curling beneath her chin to keep their mouths at that perfect angle. Which she ruined not a moment later when she moved away to breathe.

Her eyelids fluttered open. When they had closed she wouldn't have been able to tell you, and she was met with Kyoya staring right back at her. A coy smile silently teased her about how surprised she had been by the kiss.

Kyoya got the beginnings of a soft chuckle out before she pushed herself forward, effectively cutting him off. Feeling her hair being purposefully tangled through his fingers, Jin lips curled into a smile. She couldn't help it. It was amusing to her how Kyoya, for all of his 'don't touch me' vibes, seemed to deeply enjoy holding onto her. Even those short pecks before school would have their bodies touching at least from the waist down.

Perhaps he was a cuddler, too? That'd be nice.

Despite how the kiss hadn't stopped for even a moment, Kyoya must've assumed what was going through her head. He was the one to retreat this time, watching in amusement as she came back to her senses. Jin pouted. She started to ask why he had stopped when Kyoya removed his glasses and ducked his head towards her neck. The question Jin had been about to ask came out as more of a squeak. Followed shortly after by a moan.

His first kisses were slow, trying to remember exactly which was her more sensitive spot; below her ear or in the crook of her neck.

A soft sigh echoed in his ear as he gently tasted the white skin high on her neck. A single strand of hair snuck between his lips and he withdrew to remove it, glad to make a quick note that below her ear was not what he was looking for. The sighing had certainly been a nice sound, but again, not the one he was attempting to recreate.

Crook of her neck it was.

Once the hair was removed, he kissed the soft skin underneath her jawline. Then moved lower. His lips parted themselves as he dragged them lower down her neckline; indulging in the way Jin shivered against him. One hand on his right bicep, the other fisted in his jacket. But just as her neck began curving out… he hesitated.

This was only the second time they had gone from kissing to necking, and last time... Kyoya had been too rough. The bite that ended the moment had left a dark red mark on her skin for days. Jin hadn't said anything, but she had winced, which had been enough to make him stop and kiss her softly in many apologies.

He didn't want to hurt her like that again.

So, ensuring his mind was focused on the moment, he gently tugged the collar of her cloak away to give himself access to her weak spot. She gasped, hands clenching tighter onto his uniform. The press of her neck against his cheek fell away as she tried giving him more room. Her trust in him, despite how he had accidentally hurt her the last time, was both something he hadn't expected and yet something he had. He kept his teeth safely covered by lips the whole time, all the same.

Pressing one last kiss to the pink-ish spot on her neck, Kyoya wasn't even given a moment to catch his breath as he pulled away. Jin all but threw her arms over his shoulders, lips parting in a pleading invitation. As his tongue slipped out to accept, it suddenly struck him how much he enjoyed kissing her like this. Hot and deep and -some would say- messy.

The person he was before meeting Jin Fujioka would've been at least somewhat disgusted by Kyoya's willingness to indulge in 'French kissing' his girlfriend. Perhaps not even that far back. If someone had asked him four, five months ago if he would kiss his girlfriend of one month like… this... he would've looked at them in disgust and requested that they pull their mind out of the gutter it was residing in. But now, his argument was that it just couldn't be helped.

His other half was far too passionate to deny.

Kyoya was brought back to reality at the wonderful feeling of her fingers running through his hair. Not quite tugging but not being especially gentle either. He couldn't help but groan at the feeling of her short fingernails softly scratching his scalp.

The bloodcurdling scream from the other end of the building almost made him miss her answering moan.

One eyelid cracked open in disinterest, showing a thin ring of grey around a blown out pupil before it closed once more. Jin didn't seem to have noticed the scream at all, too busy with their battle for dominance. She had finally relented by the time Kyoya realized the screaming wasn't stopping. And it was more than simply one person. And they were gradually getting closer. Jin noticed them too.

They broke apart with a little wet popping sound, still calmly tangled around each other. Jin's eyes remained half lidded, giving her a content expression as Kyoya slid his glasses back onto his nose. Lazily, she reached up and tucked a few strands of hair back behind his ear. Leaning forward, Kyoya's lips pressed against the bridge of her nose. Not a kiss, simply resting.

Two more things they had discovered about each other over the course of their relationship: Jin got very clingy when they were alone. And Kyoya didn't mind one bit.

But the screams were still growing louder.

"We should go."

"Mhm."

They managed to make it outside just in time, closing the back entrance before the 1st years thundered past the doors, not even seeing the exit as they fled for their lives. They stayed there, palms pressed against the cool wood for a second before straightening up. Kyoya broke the silence.

"You know, I had thought we had moved on from our Honeymoon phase. Haruhi will be mortified."

"Hey! It's not my fault you decided to… woah." A bright light had caught her attention, and when the two realized what it was they couldn't help but wonder how they didn't see it sooner.

Their class's Bonfire Event was hard to miss.

Jin had seen groups of landscapers and a handful of firemen around the field for the past week, working on the pit they'd have the fire in, but the final result was still a surprise. The pit had been dug a few inches into the ground and then layered with many layers of stone and dirt until it was both safe and possible to pile an absolutely ridiculously large pile of firewood right in the center and set it ablaze.

Even from a distance, Jin and Kyoya could tell that the fire was almost as tall as they were. Shadows of their classmates passed back and forth across the orange glow, keeping a distance from the flames, the only source of light and heat in the otherwise dark field and chilly October air. They could hear laughter and a few screams from the smaller group off to one side of the party, a little ways into the dark so the scary stories could be shared with the teller's back to the flames.

Outdoor chairs and tables had been placed around the fire as well, some closer and some further to regulate temperature. A few students were holding sticks out over the flames, and Jin saw as someone quickly yanked a small ball of fire away and start blowing it out in vain as the person at their side laughed aloud, currently unaware of how their marshmallow had just gone up in flames as well. At the other side of the pit from the marshmallow burners, six or seven students (it was hard to count from that distance) were taking turns chucking things into the fire, causing blue and green and neon red flames to leap out from the otherwise orange color.

"Wow… they really went all out."

"Indeed. Shall we join them?"

She nodded once before Kyoya offered his elbow. She rolled her eyes but took it. Like their classmates wouldn't tease them any less for showing up late than if they walked over holding hands, but it was whatever. Jin was already forming an attack plan for leaving a sticky S'mores kiss on Kyoya's cheek when he joined in with their classmates to tease her in the annoying/endearing way only he could.

She blushed a little darker when a sentence popped up in her head. A very different narrative from when we were back in the school.

"Kyoya! Jin! You made it! Come here! Iwao just meshed a yellow and a blue color changer together because we ran out of green! He's about to throw it in! Hurry!"

Instantly Jin is grinning, skirting around the fire, knowing Kyoya would follow even though she had released his arm, "I hope it doesn't mix, but the colors just weave together! Throw it in!"

*The Next Morning*

'Everyone in Class 1-A is a Captain of All Cowards'.

Jin let the hand holding the newspaper drop down to her side and leaned back against the wall, her other hand coming up to stifle the giggles. Haruhi had a certainly flattering picture taken of her falling into a dead faint while some of her classmates took off through the school like the devil was on their tail. On the front page of the newspaper. Literally couldn't have embarrassed Haruhi better herself. Jin had to give Ume-kun some credit; he was a master trickster.

"You seem to be in a good mood this morning."

The brunette peeked up at the boy joining her by their usual pillar. The sunlight flickering through the window behind him, catching the metal of his glasses but not hiding his eyes. She flicked the paper back up, pointing the front cover towards him.

"Haru refused to talk to me for an hour this morning when she found out I was in on that prank, so I don't have to feel bad for laughing at her photo in the paper."

"That seems fair."

Dropping the paper back to her side, Jin leaned her head back against the wall, lazily looking around the tiny sliver of hallway she could see. It was particularly busy at the moment, most of Ouran's students swapping stories of their class's event or trying to find more details about the prank.

A brush of fingertips against the back of her hand brought her attention back to her partner, but she had a question for him as well, "Kyo-kun?"

"Yes?"

"Why didn't anyone say anything about us comes to the event late?"

It was true. For all the innuendos and not-so-innocent questions she had expected, Jin hadn't heard a single whisper of the suggestion she and Kyoya had been otherwise "occupied" before joining the Halloween celebration. It wasn't because they had known about the prank, so… what? The twins had already proved a long time ago that there will always be teenagers, rich or otherwise, who took it upon themselves to embarrass new couples when they rejoined society after a moment in private. The lack of all dirty jokes and unnecessary winks concerned her much more than if they had actually done those acts.

Kyoya, on the other hand, didn't look concerned at all, "I believe it might have to do with their fear of me. Or, more accurately, my family name. They wouldn't dare mention anything if it was just myself, after all, but they must've realized that if they were to attempt to embarrass both myself and you, not even their own family's name would've been spared in the end. The twins are a different matter of course, they know us well enough, but from any of the others I simply wouldn't have tolerated it."

Jin blinks, "I'm not sure whether to be flattered or frightened."

"Perhaps it would be good idea to be both?"

She rolled her eyes, "Shut up and kiss me 'Good Morning', you nerd."
