TEASER - Love Lost in Time, ch.1 (Ouran AU, Kyoya x Haruhi, hint of romance) - TEASER
I'm still sorting out how this story will go (I think I'm up to 10 chapters now >.< ) but here's a little teaser courtesy of my muses. ^^
LOVE LOST IN TIME
An Ouran High School Host Club fanfic
Written by Miyu, Vampire Princess
His body rose over hers, dark eyes staring down at innocent brown spheres. The look on her face was unreadable and he tried not to smile, not to give into the urge to kiss her.
"You said before that being a man or woman doesn't matter. But being a man, I can do this." He leaned closer, his body shaking as it remained just inches from her. "And as a woman, you can't stop me."
He sighed, then pulled away. His body argued the movement again, but he didn't want to push. Not yet. "It's a mistake to keep your guard down."
"Oh...."
Something in her snapped. A memory? Spiritual recognition, perhaps? He could only hope. But there was a realization in her eyes.
"You wouldn't do this, Kyoya."
"Hmm. Why not?"
"Because...." She smiled at him as she rose from the bed, resting her weight on her arms. "You have nothing to gain by taking me like this.
The comment stung. But he laughed it off. Told her she was right. She had no idea. No idea who he really was. Or how close she came to being proven wrong.
Then she proceeded to tell him how kind he was.
The fire that slowly slithered through his body exploded. He almost groaned aloud, fighting every instinct to grab ahold of her. To hug her tightly. To kiss her fiercely.
But he maintained his character, regaining his composure as Tamaki burst into the room. Oh, he knew it looked bad, and that his friend would think the worst. The situation was easily diffused, however, and Kyoya returned to playing the game.
Just bidding his time.
Time passed without incident. He enjoyed teasing her at Halloween. Made sure he was present when the others first showed up at her humble home and kept in contact with her father without anyone else knowing. The fact that they were alone in the mall was no mistake. Showing up at the pensione was also planned. He even paid close attention to her during the sports festival, other competitions, and during club events.
But when she was kidnapped.... That was the final straw.
Though he remained calm, utilizing his resources to the maximum extent, he'd emotionally lost it. He was consumed by an inferno of anger. Of hopelessness.
And when she was found -- thankfully unharmed -- it took every ounce of restraint to not act on his natural vampiric impulse to kill.
It turned out to be a misunderstanding. An act of idiocy which Tamaki handled maturely, professionally. And rightfully so since it involved his family.
But oh how Kyoya wanted to throttle them. Just a squeeze of the neck. Just the right amount of pressure on their jugulars....
That was the moment he realized he couldn't wait.
Not because he wanted to kill. No, it was much more dire than that.
Others were falling in love with her too!
It happened gradually, and Kyoya could've beaten himself for the oversight. He'd seen it happen before his very eyes. Openly and innocently.
The twins had already expressed their feelings. Poor Haruhi didn't have the chance to answer Kaoru. He walked away graciously in favor of his twin. And when Hikaru confessed, she didn't have the words. It was a moment of density. She hadn't seen it coming.
Yet, she managed to turn him away with a smile.
They weren't Kyoya's concern, however.
It was Tamaki.
Comments are welcome. ^^
