"In Love With A Criminal"

Chapter 3: His Fail, Gaurd Down

When they arrived at the coffee shop, Kyoya looked at the menu and ordered like a pro, "White hot chocolate mocha light double shot of espresso whipped and steamed foam... " he looked at Tamaki and chuckled, "I.. um.. really like coffee..."

Tamaki smiled and laughed a bit, "I'll just have a caramel Frappe thanks " he ordered with a charming smile at the sweet cashier girl.

The girl giggled as their order was to be brought to their table. They sat down and Kyoya took out his tablet. He had typed a few commands, "I hired a cleaning maid for today. 40% down to 25% profit gain." He sighed. He typed a few more and finally stopped, "So... what's the story on haruhi?"

"Well see...it all happened the day I met Haruhi, she seemed so quiet and alone. So of course I thought she was a guy as well, so I asked her if she wanted to join the host club so she would have friends and a uniform, and so she wouldn't have to be alone all the time too..." He smiles, "of course Haruhi refused at first until she met my best friend Kari...Kari always spoke of how fond she was of us hosts and wished that she had met a girl like us...but of course every time Haruhi tried to become close to her because well...she loved her, she would push her away so I offered the spot again. I told her she would be closer to Kari if she did take it. Kari she seemed to love Haruhi a lot back then too..." He giggled. "It was quite adorable actually..."

"... so.. Haruhi being a girl is a secret? Is there any else I need to know? Is Hunni a secret ninja?.." he joked He respected everyone's wishes. If only he knew he wouldn't of freaked out as much. The drinks were brought and kyoya took a sip of his drink, "not bad..."Kyoya had some foam on his upper lip.

Tamaki giggled at silly Kyoya has he took a napkin and cleaned off the foam from his lip. He smiled and bit his lip.

"Um.. thank you..." Kyoya blushed. "So.. now that I have your attention... about the requests... themed hosting." Kyoya took out his tablet and showed him the ideas the girls wanted.

Tamaki payed attention this time and smiled softly, "hmmm..."

There was one request for a kimono theme, a cosplay theme, and a beach theme?...the requests are to make the experience as a date, we will dress up as the theme and eat cuisines from the theme..." Kyoya explained. Tamaki was excited, Kyoya was helping, his vision move forward! "And...requests for a..calendar. The girls want photos of the hosts."

"That sounds perfect! But I don't know which theme we should do" they all seem so fun" he smiles

"We could do all of them.. in different days of course." He smiled. Kyoya smiling, a rare treat. The blonde wondered why Kyoya didn't smile more often. Kyoya began to chart out the schedule on the tablet, he showed Tamaki the outline, "We can make it every Friday. With a preview on Wednesdays" he smiled again.

Tamaki gazes at his smile, "your smile...its...nice. You should smile more often" he giggled and nudged him a bit his shoulder to his.

Kyoya dropped his smile as he looked up at the blonde "I.. don't like to. Its inviting. I don't like the attention." he looked down at his tablet "I'm not worth it...." he whispered the last bit, he had his mask down. He had to stop getting close, he sent a few texts and claimed he needed a few more days.

Tamaki frowned a bit and looked down sadly, "oh...i-i'm sorry...." he stood up.

"It's not your fault tamaki. I'm just... please sit, Its my turn to share a story" Kyoya sighed, "When I was younger... I smiled a lot. I had a best friend and one day I didn't smile...it seems so stupid to be sad over such a little thing...but---" Kyoya held in his tears, he sighed and closed his eyes, "he kept asking me to smile and I always refused, then the day I finally decided to...just for him...I had found out that he died.. My father told me his parents were killed in an accident and...I just don't smile anymore" he wiped the small tear beginning to form in his eye, "I don't like it being pointed out..." Kyoya sighs. He never told that story before to anyone, he even felt stupid, why would anyone care. No one cares. He ahead managed to let his guard down easily for the lack of Tamaki, but no one cares...so he thought.

'Objective #6: no one cares, no ones merciful. Have no mercy.'

Tamaki turned and looked at him sadly, "it sounds silly at first but when you think about it...its really sad. I'm sorry Kyoya" he sat back down and scooted closer to him, "c-can I hug you?" he blushed softly.

"Why would...." Kyoya tried to understand what was going on when Tamaki just pulled him to him and hugged him tight. Kyoya tensed up but soon wrapped his arms around Tamaki.

'Wh-what is this? I-it feels...right? Is This felt right?.. why did it feel right? A hug?...I've never had one...the only thing I came close to hugging....was having my finger wrapped around the trigger....of a gun.'

Kyoya pulls away a bit and caresses Tamaki's face. He stared into Tamaki's eyes and didn't realize, he felt a tear rolled down his cheek.

'I'm....crying....' he wiped the tear off his cheek, 'No one cares... no one. Maybe I can't do this...' Kyoya got up from the table and left the coffee house, he was in a daze,

'Why...do I...feel this way.?...why did I want to...did i really? Did I really want kiss Tamaki? Why?!'

He thought as walked out.

Tamaki watches him leave with sad eyes, "K-Kyoya~" he whispered softly,Tamaki left the coffee house soon after and headed home in thought of Kyoya, "my familiar stranger~"
