AHA! what an amazing ask, I love it! Love me some angst with a happy ending.Â
It was not normal for Kyoya to fall in love. Most people didnât perk his interest, they didnât give him the spark that he needed.
But you werenât most people. You were unique, you were kind, you were smart, and you were oh so pretty. He first laid his eyes on you when you came to his table in the host club. He didnât know how, but your smile sent shivers down his spine, your mere presence made him feel so happy. Of course, he never showed his feelings, it was all covered with a layer of apathy and malice. Despite his cold demeanor, he always seemed to be kinder to you, even if it was just a little bit. Even you seemed to act differently in front of him, and he started to think that was because you liked him back.
Well, that was until he saw you with Tamaki.
Kyoya wasnât the type of man to eavesdrop, but curiosity got the better of him, he decided, as he followed you out into the hallway. He got suspicious when Tamaki was at your heel, you both looked nervous. Could it beâŚ? No, it couldnât, it possibly couldnât. You showed no interest in Tamaki, thereâs no way that youâd be in love with him. All this time youâve been going to his table and talking to him, not Tamaki.
So, why were you doing this?
He couldnât hear the whole conversation, but he didnât need to. As soon as he heard the words âI love you,â come out of your mouth he knew exactly what was going on. He felt furious, he felt depressed, but most of all he felt jealous. So, it turns out he wasnât the source of your affections after all.
It wasnât fair, he told himself heâs never stoop so low that heâd feel heartbroken over someone. But the heart wants what the heart wants, and Kyoya wanted you, he wanted your love, but what he saw was no joke, it was evident that you didnât love him back. It hurt, it hurt a lot, and the worst thing of all, he didnât know how to handle it. It was an all new feeling, and he hated it.
He hated it so much that he couldnât stand to be with you, he avoided you when you went up to him in the hallway, in the classroom, even in the host club, he just couldnât stand you. It was weird, why were you still trying to talk to him, shouldnât you be with Tamaki? Doing whatever things that couples do?
So, one can only imagine the surprise on Kyoyaâs face when you suddenly dragged him away, bringing him out into the hallway. You had an irritated look on your face. Just what got into you? You never did anything like this, you were always so⌠quiet.
âAlright Kyoya, I want you to tell me why youâve been avoiding me.â you confronted him. Your eyes were on fire, he felt like you were staring into his soul. âIâve been wanting to talk to you all week, and I havenât got to tell you because you always run off before I can say it.â His eyes widened, he was too cooped up in his heartbreak and jealousy he didnât even think about your feelings. âY/nâŚâ
âNo Kyoya! I want to explain it to me right now because I canât take it anymore, how many times do I have to try before you realize that Iâm in love with you!â
There was silence, it was deafening. The words, âIâm in love with youâ were playing in Kyoyaâs head like a broken record. He couldnât believe it, you like him back. But, what about Tamaki-?
âOh no, I said that out loud didnât I? Iâm sorry, I donât know what came over me. This isnât all how I practiced it with TamakiâŚâ
Wait⌠Practiced? Oh no.Â
Heâd been avoiding you for no reason, and now because of him, youâve been stressing. He has to fix this, now. He took your head in his hands, making you face him, ây/n, Iâm truly sorry if only I had known. I donât want to admit this, but I saw you with Tamaki, and I got the wrong idea. Iâm sorry for making you stress out like this.â
âIâm sorry too, you deserve a better confession than this.â
He chuckled, âIt doesnât matter how you confess to me, Iâll still love you either way.â
