Kyoya was sat on his own in the library, all school clubs had been cancelled for the day so Kyoya was bored. He had a book of brothers Grimm fairytales sat in front of him. He read the stories for what felt like the hundredth time, he knew them all of by heart at this point.
āUpset?ā The word didnāt register with him for a few seconds, realisation flashing across his face. āOh no I never get upset.ā A fake smile and a laugh, oh gods how could he have been so stupid? He wasnāt thinking! Oh he could kick himself, if he was alone he would have. He brushed the concern away with a bright grin, a tiny head tilt to seal the deal. āDonāt worry about me, Iāll be fine.ā
āYou know you donāt have to lie to me⦠right?ā He said. āI know exactly when someone is putting on a fake smile⦠itās so much more different than a normal smileā¦ā
Kyoyas smile faltered and then collapsed as he gave in. He whimpered and let the tears roll down his cheeks, elegant even when upset. āI just feel so stupid, I feel like Iāve embarrassed myself because I got so carried away andā¦andā¦ā He tried to wipe the tears from his eyes just was fresh ones fell, he was normally not this emotional. āAnd Iāve been tripping over myself all day and I feel like Iāve made and idiot of myself and I just feelā¦soā¦I feel soā¦soā¦so stupid! Gods Iām so damn stupid!ā He punched the wall as he cried out, bruising his knuckles in the process.
He gently grabbed his hand to stop him from hurting himself further. āYouāre not stupid Kyoya⦠and you definitely didnāt embarrass yourself. If anything⦠it made me happy that you wanted to help me⦠but I knew that if word got back to my grandfather. He would do anything in his power to try and separate the two of us and cause a rift between our families⦠which was something I didnāt want⦠I want to spend time with you Kyoya.ā
A light blush dusted his cheeks, he looked down, ashamed. āAreā¦are you sure..?ā He wiped his eyes again and looked at him nervously, not sure if he was just toying with him or not. He understood family troubles more then anyone but he had really never considered the fact that what he did in secret would reflect on his family. That prospect scared him quite a lot.
āOf course I am sure.ā He gripped his hand a little firmer, but not hard enough to cause him any pain. āPlus⦠I really enjoy spending time with you Kyoya, makes the day a little less⦠dreary.ā
He blushed and looked up at him, a tiny smile tugging at the corner of his lips. He really didnāt know how heād managed it, heād dropped his act about 20 minutes ago but he somehow still managed to win Alainās favour. He took a deep breath, composing himself and pulling his expression back into a neutral one.
āWell then, Iām truly honoured that you thinking that.ā He smiled at him, using his free hand to adjust his tie and smooth down his hair. āI believe we should head back now, donāt you?ā
He smiled back, āOf course. But I was also wondering⦠if maybe you wanted to grab a bite to eat after the club closes. That is if it isnāt too late for you.ā He suggested.
He nodded, a small smile on his face. āOf course, do you have a place in mind?ā He began to walk back to the club room, smiling sweetly at him. āI know one or two places you might like.ā
He smiled happily, āSomeplace that isnāt super loud or overly crowded maybe?ā He answered, glancing at him. He fixed his clothes. But as he walked with him, his long strides able to keep him in step with the other.
Kyoya nodded, smiling slightly. āOf course, Iām not a fan of loud and crowded places either.ā He pushed a strand of hair from his face, leading him around the corner and to the door. He smiled sweetly and opened the door for him. He quickly regained his usual demeanor, a calm, cool and collected expression.
Alain smiled softly, āWell perhaps we can head there after the club is done for the day. I am sure you need a breather.ā He suggested, holding the door for him gently. He enjoyed Kyoyaās company very much, he honestly hoped he would be able to spend more time with him.
He nodded, stepping though and gesturing to the table. āOf course, of course. If youād like anything while you continue the interviews then please donāt hesitate to ask.ā He gave a tiny smile before sitting down on a sofa and picking up his tea cup.
Alain nodded, sitting across from him. He pulled out his tablet, continuing the interview with him and the other hosts. He smiled and saved the work. āThis will work perfectly. I will also have to see if I can take a couple stills of the club while it is open to show people what it is like.ā
āOf course, although the ladies may bother you slightly.ā He hummed in thought as the others prepared for their next cosplay.
He chuckled softly, āItās not anything I canāt handle.ā
āYou can sit with me, I wonāt be hosting today.ā He smiled.
The twins shared a glance and made an oohing noise, which was instantly shut down by a glare from Kyoya.
Alain nodded and went to sit with him, looking over the interview questions and answers. Making sure that everything was in the right place before he placed the tablet back in his bag.
He quickly changed into his cosplay, the theme was Victorian times. He sat down and adjusted his cravat, trying to get it to sit comfortably.
āI believe that should be everything. Unless there are questions that you wish to ask me?ā He inquired curiously, placing his hands in his lap and set his bag to the side.
The hosts all shook their heads, ready to begin their hosting session. Tamaki clapped his hands and gestured for Alain to go and sit next to Kyoya, Kyoya was working on club savings once again.
Alain nodded, going to sit next to Kyoya, glancing at him with a slight smile. He was more than happy to help promote the Host Club in a positive light.
Every few moments Kyoya adjusted his cravat, clearly unsure how to get it to sit right. He typed very little between adjusting it, clearly irritated.
āHere, let me..ā Alain murmured, reaching over and gently adjusting the cravat, making sure it sat nicely, the ruffles were smooth, and it wasnāt crooked.
Kyoya blushed lightly, some girls pointed and squealed at them for a moment before turning and chatting amongst themselves. He smiled and coughed, pushing his glasses up his nose. āThank you Alainā¦ā
Alain smiled and nodded, āYouāre welcome.ā He said and sipped some tea that was brought to them.
A little while later, school was let out and Kyoya was just finishing up with his paperwork for the club.
Alain gathered his things and looked at Kyoya as he waited for him to finish up. He smiled at him as he noticed Emilee had gone home already.
Kyoya put his things in his bag and stood up. āSo are you ready?ā
āI am.ā Alain answered, smiling at Kyoya before he walked over to the door.
He nodded and followed, opening the door and leading him to the limo park. āSo I know this lovely little commoner place if youād like?ā
Alain smiled and nodded, āThat sounds fine to me. Go ahead and lead the way.ā He said to Kyoya.
He lead Alain to a limo and climbed inside. āCome on, Iāve got iced coffee in here if youād like?ā
Alain climbed in, nodding. āIāll take some iced coffee. Thank you.ā
He handed Alain a glass, grabbing his own as well. He told the driver to take them to the place he'd mentioned then sat back and relaxed. "So what are you really like? What's behind the mask?"
