〔Dawning Memories〕[Hibari Kyoya] (KHR)

Chapter 35

=====DECEMBER=====

The house was as silent as can be while your grandfather rested in the hospital; you couldn't concentrate much on your studies due to your incessant worries for his health even though he was doing perfectly fine. They just prefer to have him resting and getting used to the medicine before he returned home, and while he stayed there, you had Kyoya staying in your house to take care of you. It was actually your grandfather's idea, and you had no problem with that at all...neither did Kyoya.

Said carnivore was nipping your neck, littering your heated skin with kisses and bites. He had you flush against the kitchen counter, and you were breathless from the passionate kiss you two had participated in seconds ago. His hands were up to no good as always, and the trails they left burned with arousal. You let out a low moan, though it was cut short from the doorbell chime.

You gasped, pushing Kyoya away as you sprinted over to the intercom which showed who rang the doorbell. "Oh, it's the gang!"

"Don't let them in."

"........Are you seriously denying my friends entrance to MY home?" You quirked your eyebrow, a smirk tugging on your lips.

"Herbivores," he corrected you.

Your attention remained on the video surveillance that showed your friend group patiently waiting for entrance. You shook your head and headed outside to open the gates, much to Kyoya's dismay. He just growled with disappointment and traveled deep inside the house to keep his solidarity.

"Sorry for the wait!" you greeted them as you pulled the gate open, "Kyoya didn't want you guys inside."

Tsuna and Yamamoto nervously laughed as Gokudera's anger boiled. You would have laughed at their reactions, but with a quick glance, you noticed something was off with the group. Ryohei had an unusual look on his face, one filled with beaming happiness yet protectiveness as he watched over his little sister. Kyoko stood rather close to Tsuna with rosy cheeks while Haru stood on the far end without looking at the two.

Something certainly happened during your time away from school. You had missed more than a week, heading back and forth from the hospital to your home. You had been issued a warning from the school administration because of your lack of attendance at school, and if you missed another day, you wouldn't receive your diploma. It meant you had to catch up with school work if you wanted to return tomorrow, and your friends were all here to help... Well, Gokudera and Kyoko were here to help.

However, judging by the air, you were going to be caught up with more than just school work but gossip too. "Come on in."

Once everyone was situated, the studying commenced. Most of the group ran off to their own activities since they were already caught up with their work. They were mostly here to check up on you to which you were thankful for. 

"You know, entrance exams for college are this month," Kyoko hinted as she opened the Calculus II book.

"I don't even know what I want to do when I graduate," you admitted shamefully, "I want to stay here and take care of my grandpa while I can."
