She smiled as he spoke about the club,though it wasn't want she really wanted to hear about,if it made Kyoya happy then of course she'd listen. She perked up a bit when he spoke again,this time about himself. When he finished though,her face had fallen and she looked about to tear up."Oh. . I see."Hiro mumbled,shuffling her feet again before opening her mouth to talk once more."I doubt that she's only after the companies money. . not all people are like that Kyoya."She,on impulse,gently put her hand under his chin,brushing his hair out of his face with her other hand."I'm sure she'll be wonderful,whoever she is." It was easy to tell she was upset over this fact,but she was forcing herself not to focus on that,and focus on making sure the boy sitting in front of her was alright. Sure Kyoya got upset on occasion but this obviously struck a chord with him,and it seemed as if he was more upset over it than usual."Have you been told anything about this girl?Maybe we can figure out who she is,together." As she spoke,her phone buzzed and she quickly picked it up with her free hand,glancing over it with a furrowed brow. As quickly as she picked up her phone,she put it down,moving her hand away from Kyoya,her eyes wide.She sighed,giving him a small smile. "I'm going to have to go soon, my uh parents want me to meet someone. . , looks like i'm in the same boat as you with the whole being betrothed thing. . Though i think my parents just want me out of the house. Being the middle child,and a girl, I'm not surprised they want me out.I'm not going to be able to do anything for their company,so why not marry me off." She chuckled a bit nervously,glancing at the clock.She had roughly about an hour left before she would have to meet her car to head home and get ready for the dinner where she would be meeting her husband-to be.It was of course a public place,an expensive one at that,but public none the less. Though she had been informed she and the man she was being betrothed to would be meeting in a private dining hall alone so their parents couldn't but in and what not. It was as if her parents were trying to make her comfortable,yet uncomfortable at the same time.She was upset about this,as she knew it was likely her whole family had noticed her more than little crush on Kyoya at dinners with his family and what not. The girl kept quiet for a while,her eyes flicking around the room.

A surprised look crossed his face and he just kind of blinked at the girl.Eventually he came to his senses and forced himself out of his own thoughts as Mei spoke again. He was conflicted at this point,not knowing what to do. Honey should be his main priority but at the same time as he had been told by the other hosts multiple times, Honey was almost an adult and he could handle himself if he was left alone for a while. He glanced over at the smaller host,biting his bottom lip. This was another reason he didn't like being in love with Mei. It made his job harder."He knows where I am if he needs something."Takashi reassured,crossing his arms on the table,intertwining his fingers together.As if Honey knew what was going on,the boy glanced over at Takashi,seeing how awkward both of them seemed,Honey bounced back over,saying something else quietly to Takashi who nodded,and stood up,holding his hand out to help Mei up."Takashi wants to go see the gardens,the flowers are in bloom again. Mei-chan, would you mind taking him?"Honey chirped,giving her a big grin,one that most girls couldn't resist,it was a smile not even Takashi could take lightly. After he helped Mei up,Takashi just kind of stood there awkwardly as if he was waiting for her to say no she wouldn't want to take him out to the gardens. Of course he didn't really want to go,it was Honey's idea,and the small blond boy was going to be going with them,if only to make Takashi a little less nervous. Honey had told him to just ask her to go on a walk with him later in the day through the more popular gardens towards the center of town. Though it was a big leap of faith, the quiet host hoped she would agree to spend more time with him outside of school,most likely without his partner in crime. "You don't have to if you don't want to." Takashi reassured,finally looking her in the eyes,if only for a split second before he looked back down at the floor.

mei watched honey and takashi speak, eyes flashing
between the two hosts. as takashi stood and offered his hand, mei placed her small hand is his rather large one. standing, she released his hand, brushing herself off slightly. at the mention of the garden and flowers in full bloom, she could feel her smile growing - she loved nature with absolutely everything in her.

she nodded softly, lips almost pursed. her hands intertwined behind her back, she rocked back and forth on her feet. "i'd actually love to," she said, hesitating, "if that's alright with you, takashi," she said, directing her attention more to the taller of the two. her pupils dilated a bit as she looked at him.

——————————————

smiling softly, a chuckle escaped his lips. "wanting
you out of the house is no reason to get you married," he said. his eyes fell to the table before he glanced over at haruhi.

in his pocket, his phone buzzed slightly, just enough for him to notice it. although he nearly missed it. pulling out swiftly with one hand, his head placed in the palm of his other hand with his arm rested on the table, he glanced at it. eyes scanning the words on the screen, he glanced up at hiro quickly, almost in disbelief. now, perhaps it was a coincidence, that they both were to meet their soon-to-be spouses in nearly an hour, but kyoya couldn't bring himself to believe it was nothing more than a mere coincidence. he felt it was them, together. but, not wanting to get his hopes up, he quickly replied to his father's text, sliding the phone back into his pocket.

"i'm sorry," a smile curved the edges of his lips, "i know my full attention should be on you."

Hiro giggled a soft bit at his response,shaking her head."You have no idea the kind of ideas my parents have for shoving me away from the family business."As his phone buzzed,the girl gave him a curious look. When he apologized, she shook her head,giving him a reassuring smile."It's alright,you're a busy person"the brunette said,rubbing the back of her neck,glancing up at him every now and then. Oh how she wished she could have read whatever text message he got,but it wasn't for her to see. Hiro just told herself it was one of the other hosts bothering him about something stupid. With another glance around the room,another glance at the clock and another buzz from her phone,Hiro decided it was probably time for her to head out,if that message had been from her parents she'd be in trouble if she didn't get going quickly."I should probably be heading out anyway. You have other girls who are more important than me waiting for you."Hiro stood up,grabbing her bag and putting it over her shoulder.Her nerves were getting the best of her again,and she almost tripped over the chair she had just been sitting in. She glanced back at Kyoya with a nervous smile."I'll see you tomorrow,if you're not busy of course."And with that she scurried out of the room,a few of her friends following,as they had noticed she was leaving and most of them just came to watch her while she spoke to Kyoya.The girl exited the building,ditching her friends at the door as she got into her car,heading back to her estate.

Takashi gave a nod,as if to say it was fine with him,even though he had been okay with it from the start.He had noticed the smile grow on Mei's face and it made him feel a bit better about the situation,he knew she had a fondness for nature,but the look on her face right now reassured him that asking her to go with him to some of the more popular gardens sometime with him was the right choice.He picked up Honey,placing the blond on his shoulders."Haruhi is going to cover for us so you don't have to worry about it Takashi!"Honey said,patting Takashi's head,which caused the taller boy to smile gently. He glanced over at Mei,offering her a smile as well,something he rarely did for other people. Nothing much was said in the way to gardens,besides Honey's usual chatter. Once there,Honey hopped off of Takashi's shoulders,running off to play with whatever bugs or small critters that we're running around amongst the flora. Takashi looked over at Mei again,biting his bottom lip once more. He turned his gaze back to Honey,keeping the boy in sight seemed to reassure him slightly and give him that boost of confidence most people would think he already had. With a deep breath,he held out his hand for Mei to take,keeping his eyes off of her in case he had made a mistake. Of course she didn't like him,why was he thinking he even had a chance with her?But,despite his thoughts,he kept his hand held out for her,just in case.

on the way to the gardens, mei felt her heart pounding
out of her chest. she kept silent the entire way there, listening to honey's chattering. when they reached the gardens and honey hopped down from takashi's shoulders, mei nearly ran off to go look at the buttercups and begonias, her favorite flowers. that was, of course, until she saw takashi's hand lift from his side, open palmed. did he want her to take it? why?

looking at takashi's face, his face was blank. emotionless. she couldn't tell what he was thinking. after hesitating slightly, she clasped her hand into his, intertwining their fingers, hoping it was alright with him.

still wanting to look at the buttercups and begonias, she rushed over to them, pulling takashi along. her long raven hair hugged her sides, emphasizing her figure. still dressed in her school uniform, she thought she looked like a hot mess, in the least appealing way possible. letting go of takashi's hand for a slight moment, she leaned down, looking at the flowers. her favorite ones. bringing her hand up, she wrapped her hand lazily around one of his fingers, there being a clear difference in size between their hands. she nudged at him, tugging slightly, hoping he'd get the message to kneel down with her.

"they're my favorites," she said, pointing with her free hand to the flowers.

——————————————

his smile dropped as she excused herself. "they're not
more important than you," his voice was blunt, timid, "i'll see you tomorrow, hiro."

as she left, kyoya stood, making his way over to a few of the other hosts that were left in the club room. excusing himself, explaining he needed to go to a dinner arranged by his father, he bid them all farewell until they'd see each other again. sighing softly, he left the club room, the door shutting abruptly behind him. he phoned his driver, ordering him to be at the school in five minutes, expecting that he already knew what was going on.

as he waited, he sat, looking at the fountain outside. five minutes passed by, and his driver was there on the spot. they immediately drove to his house, and kyoya rushed up to his room, not wanting to talk much to the man who was marrying him off. as he entered his room, he threw his bag down, rummaging through his closet. picking out his best suit and tie, he smiled softly to himself. he'd always been proud of his taste in clothes. who wouldn't be if they had his taste? not to mention the money to fulfill that taste?

whilst he was styling his hair, seeming to be unsatisfied with everything he did to it, one of his maids knocked on his door, requesting he be downstairs in three minutes and that they'd be leaving, with or without him.

As soon as she got home,the girl was ushered upstairs. One of her maids held out a few dresses, obviously they had been picked out by her parents. Her eyes landed on an orange dress. She quickly put it on,and insisted on doing her own makeup and her own hair. Pulling it back into it's usual style,pinning most of it to the back of her head,a few stands having been curled,hanging loosely at the sides of her face. Hiro pinned a few barrettes into her hair,and had her maid check her over. Once she got the okay she basically ran downstairs,almost tripping on the last step. Her mother gave her a large smile,nodding in approval."You look gorgeous Hiro.There's no need to be nervous I promise." Hisa said to her daughter as Hiro walked by. The only reassurance she got from her father was a nod as she passed him she got into the car next to her brothers,ignoring the fact that they didn't really need to be here for this,but of course she had no say so in who came to the restaurant with her and her parents and who didn't come with her.The drive there was silent,as was the walk inside the building.Her father ushered her into a private room."They'll be here soon,princess. I hope you know I'm only doing what's best for my company."Her father said,causing Hiro the flinch and just shake her head at him."It's always about your company. Just go. I don't want to talk to you right now."Her father opened his mouth to speak again but she shot him a look which caused him to close his mouth and leave the room. Hiro sat down,staring at her hands which were resting on the table. She didn't want to deal with this,not now,not when she was only just figuring out how to approach her feelings towards Kyoya. With a deep breath the girl decided to suck it up. She'd never be pretty enough,or smart enough for Kyoya Ootari,why had she ever thought she had a chance with him?Why had she ever thought she'd have a chance with anyone?Maybe this was for her own good,she wouldn't be able to find someone who loved her for her anyway.

Takashi's eyes widened as he was pulled from his spot,his eyes being forced away from Honey. As he was forced to follow Mei as she tugged him to the buttercups and the begonias,he glanced at Honey a few times before realizing that the smaller boy at this point was heading back inside the school,most likely back up to the music room. Takashi knew what he was doing and didn't quite enjoy it but he knew honey was only trying to help him out. He glanced down at her when she tugged on his hand,bending down to get on her level a bit more. He looked at the flowers she was speaking about and gave a slight nod."I'm not surprised. They're pretty."He looked her up and down,before gently picking one of the buttercups and placing it in her hair. As he leaned back,taking her in,he realized that yellow seemed to complement her more than he originally thought. A soft,loving smile formed on his face. There was a blush in his face,it was faint and barely noticeable but it was there."Yellow complements you a lot,Mei.I like it on you."Takashi complimented,not quite sure if that was the right thing to say or not. He thoughts about what she said again,deciding that he should probably ask her nkw.He bit his lip,his eyes locking onto her."We can go see more of them if you'd like. I'd like to spend more time with you."He mumbled,and as soon as he was finished speaking his gaze quickly flicked back to the doors of the school and then back to the flowers in front of him. They were beautiful,and his mind couldn't help but wander to the thought of what Mei might look like dressed in some of these other colors,he doubted she'd look bad in anything. He looked back over to her,putting a brave face on he squeezed her hand a bit."It's alright if you don't want to. I just thought I'd offer. I'm not even sure I'm doing this right. .never felt the way about anyway the way I feel about you." he gave her another very small smile,trying to keep his composure.

her blush deepened as placed a flower in her hair,
speaking of how it complimented her. she knew this, it was nothing new, the bright color complimented her rather dark appearance. but just hearing it from takashi made it seem as if it were the first time she'd ever been told this. looking down at the buttercups, she picked the second brightest one she could find - she didn't want to ruin the garden and take its brightest, although she was sure she was one of the very few to truly look for that - and placed it in his hair. smiling softly, she parted her lips to speak, "it compliments you more, i think."

as takashi spoke once more, mei stood up, nodding. "takashi, you're so cute!" she squealed impulsively. blushing harder than before,she looked down at the ground. after composing herself, she looked up at him, embarrassed. "lead the way." her grip on his hand loosened, obviously a result of her embarrassment.

——————————————

kyoya stepped out of his car, excusing himself from
his father's company. his father stayed in the car, but instructed him where to go in a text. after going through multiple twists and turns in the restaurant, he neared the room. heart beating out of his chest, he stared at the closed to in silence. this was it. he was about to meet the girl he'd marry. who most likely only wanted his money.

he placed a hand over his chest, feeling his heart beat. bum, bum, bum, bumbum.

he placed his hand on the knob, turning it slowly. his heart was begging to jump out of his chest, his nerves accelerating by the moment. his palms were sweaty, leaving marks on the knob as his hand lifted off after swinging the door open. the girl was turned around, looking the opposite direction. sliding down into his seat, he sat his items down on the table, making a loud boom. it wasn't hard to tell that he was annoyed, mainly by the whole situation. but as he studied the girl further, she looked familiar.

Hearing the door open,she took a deep breath,forcing herself to look the other direction. She did not want to face whoever had come in as she knew her life was about to be changed for good. Hearing something slam onto the table,her eye twitched a bit. Hiro could tell the person in the room didn't like this as much as she didn't like this. "You don't have to come in here and make all that noise. Just because you're upset doesn't mean you have the right to be obnoxious about it." Hiro's voice started out soft but then grew more annoyed as she continued speaking. Her feet tapped on the ground and she put her heads in her hands. Forcing back tears,the brunette spoke again."I don't want to be here just as much as you don't want to be here. I get it I really do. But this isn't about us,we don't get a say in this so let's try to make the best of it. . ."She trailed off as she turned around,her eyes widening as she realized who was sitting in front of her. Hiro almost let out a scream,but she was quick to cover her mouth and only let out a muffled sound. She stayed silent and in this position for a long time. Her heart felt like it was going to beat out of her chest at this point,she couldn't take this,if it had been anyone else she would have been able to handle it properly,but at this moment,seeing who was sitting in front of her,she felt sick and excited at the same time."Oh my God. . .this can't be happening."She squeaked,putting her head in her hands. With a deep breath she lifted her head up,tear stains on her cheeks."I have to be dreaming. . .there is no way Kyoya Ootari is sitting in front of me,there is no way I'm going to be betrothed to him,to to"She looked at him with wide eyes,making frantic hand gestures."to you!"Hiro stood up,and began to pace,her heart was about to leap into her throat.

He blinked,not quite sure what to say. First she took the compliment he had give her and just threw it back at him,which made him even more flustered.And then she had to go and agree to go on what was basically a date,with him,and she had called him cute!He coughed,clearing his throat and forcing himself out of his own thoughts. He hadn't planned on taking her out today,but that was okay. He could handle this,he was Takashi Mori-Nozuka. He wasn't scared off by things like this. His grip on her hand tightened and he fished his phone out of his pocket.Putting it up to his ear,he called Honey,quietly explaining to him he wouldn't be back for the rest of the clubs working hours. Hanging up,he put his phone on silent and began to walk a bit faster with the Mei."I don't think we'll be able to go to all of the gardens today. . .especially not all the nice ones. "He tripped over his words a bit,even more nervous than he had previously been. It was actually quite funny to see someone who most people thought was this big,tough guy act like a complete ditz,but I guess that's where his real charm came in. It seemed Takashi knew how to deal with everything elses problems whether it be with school to relationships except his own,which was something to marvel at. A few of the students they passed gave Takashi a smile,to which they received a Curt nod from him,though it was obvious to everyone he was just trying to keep up his hard outer shell.

mei smiled softly, walking beside takashi. "it's fine
if we don't get to see them all. i just enjoy being with you." her eyes flashed over to him, then back ahead of them. occasionally glancing at him out of the corner of her eyes, she felt at peace. looking down at the ground before doing so, she grabbed takashi's hand rather abruptly. her hand being small, she decided not to grab his entire hand at first, only clasping it around his longest finger. she stopped, pulling on takashi's hand, hoping he'd come to a halt noticing this. eyes looking directly at him, pupils dilated, she smiled softly. "thank you," she spoke quietly, looking down to the ground, hair fell past her face, making it practically impossible to make out her expression or face. thank god, considering she was redder than a tomato, and quite embarrassed.

——————————————

as the girl turned around, kyoya could feel his
heart jump out of his chest and fall to the floor. it felt as if someone was playing soccer with it, or one of those dumb commoner games tamaki made them play. eyes meeting hers, he ran his fingers through his hair. a slight, apologetic smile crossed his face. not sure what to say. "i had a feeling it was you," he said, pushing his glasses along the bridge of his nose, "it seemed too.." he had no words. pausing, he looked at her, "well, there was no way both of us had to leave at the same time, both to be betrothed, and for it to only be a mere coincidence." eyes scanning over the girl, he slouched down his chair, relaxing a bit. "although, as much as i know things will become awkward between you and i, i'm glad it's you and not a money hungry woman who met my father through a dating site."

Hiro took a deep breath and sat down,looking at Kyoya with a guarded gaze. Her heart was still beating wildly and of course she still felt sick,but that wasn't what this was about."You're only happy it's me because you know I'm not going to wreck your father's business."She said softly,keeping her gaze on his hands. She didn't want to look at his face,she just couldn't bare to see the disappoint the she knew would be there."I'm sure your father can find you someone more suitable for you Kyoya,someone you actually love. Because that's obviously not me."She stirred her glass of water,turning her attention to it instead of him. Tears welled in her eyes,of course,of course now of all times would be the time she cried in front of him!Hiro internally scolded herself,wanting to physically hit herself at the mistake. At this point the full force of how she felt for the boy sitting across from her had hit her like a truck and she felt horrible and sick. "You don't have to pretend this is okay with you just to appease your father.its not right to put you in a position you don't want to be in no matter how I feel. I don't get a say either way,so it's up to you to be the deciding factor in all this. I'm sure you'll get a choice because your opinion matters more than my own"She said,finally being brave enough to look him in the eyes. Her makeup was getting more than a bit smudged and her face was red from all the crying and being upset.

He came to a halt when she pulled at his hand once more. Looking down at the girl as she spoke his face grew another shade darker of pink.A smile crossed his lips,but then he shook his head,forcing it away."There's no need to thank me. You should be thanking Mitskuni. With out him this wouldn't have happened."He said,rubbing the back of his neck with his free hand and shuffling on his feet.He was way more than embarrassed to admit that he had no idea how to talk to girls he actually liked,let alone ask for Honey's help with that very thing when the smaller boy had been in so few relationships himself.Taking his free hand he lifted her head up,a reassuring look on his face."I'm just as embarrassed as you are trust me."A nervous chuckle escaped his lips,which was probably the first time Mei,or anyone for that matter had heard him laugh,even if it was awkward and not a real laugh that cracking a good joke might cause.He gently tugged her hand,letting her know she needed to follow him.He kept quiet as they began to walk again,not wanting to overwhelm the quiet girl,or himself for that matter. He wasn't that great when it came down to real conversations about life.

running her fingers through her hair, she jumped back,
out of takashi's hold. her heart was racing, a foreign emotion dancing in her eyes. love? affection? she couldn't pit it, quite yet. her palms grew sweaty, nerves kicking in all at once. mei smiled softly, composing herself, wiping her sweaty palms on the skirt of her school uniform. she gripped it, holding on tight, as if she'd die if she released it. she scanned him, wondering how he was feeling. takashi was the type of person to show little to no emotion, and this time wasn't any different. she sighed softly, "yeah, honey's really nice for setting this up."

her eyes trailed to the ground, her grip on her skirt tightening. why did he have to be so hard to figure out? if she'd liked someone like tamaki, or even honey, this would be so much easier. someone experienced, at least a bit, someone talkative. but she had to like the quietest out of the bunch, the one no girl seemed to be able to get close to. she knew she was wasting her time, wasting her love, wasting ever emotion she had, but she couldn't help it. she just, found herself drawn to him. and couldn't stop. she was like an addict when it came to takashi, but one in denial. one who refused to admit it, or even think it for longer than a minute or two.

she looked back up at him, mind racing. "if you don't want to hang out with me, that's okay. i understand. i can visit the gardens by myself," her grip tightened even more, it seemed as though if she were to tug or tighten her grip once more the fabric of her skirt would rip, "i usually do anyway."

——————————————

kyoya looked up past the top of his glasses, "who said i'm
only happy because you're not after me for my family's business?" he asked, "who said that's obviously not you?"

as the girl rambled on, kyoya listened intently. once she came to a stop, he grabbed her hands from across the table. "i'm not doing this solely to please my father. i know if i were to decline a marriage, he would accept. grumpily, nonetheless, but he would. i don't exactly know what to tell you, as i've never put myself in this position, but i want to marry you. not because you're not after my family's money, not because i want to please my father. because, hiro, i care about you. you're the one guest that gets under my skin. i feel more, alive, i suppose, when i'm with you. you switch off the button that makes me an emotionless robot, to some extent. i don't know what this feeling is, but," kyoya trailed off. coughing awkwardly, he let go of her hands, sitting straightly in his chair. "as a future ootori, you shouldn't jump to conclusions so hastily, hiro."
