Seems the only one who doesn't see your beauty
Is the face in the mirror looking back at you
You walk around here thinking you're not pretty
But that's not true, cause I know you...

Hold on, baby, you're losing it
The water's high, you're jumping into it
And letting go... and no one knows
That you cry, but you don't tell anyone
That you might not be the golden one
And you're tied together with a smile
But you're coming undone

I guess it's true that love was all you wanted
Cause you're giving it away like it's extra change
Hoping it will end up in his pocket
But he leaves you out like a penny in the rain
Oh, cause it's not his price to pay
Not his price to pay...

Hold on, baby, you're losing it
The water's high, you're jumping into it
And letting go... and no one knows
That you cry, but you don't tell anyone
That you might not be the golden one
And you're tied together with a smile
But you're coming undone

Hold on, baby, you're losing it
The water's high, you're jumping into it
And letting go... and no one knows
That you cry, but you don't tell anyone
That you might not be the golden one
And you're tied together with a smile
But you're coming undone

You're tied together with a smile
But you're coming undone... oh
Goodbye, baby
With a smile, baby, baby

Kito's POV
At the end of classes, the day after Will had taken me to my room, Kyoya approached my. Oh God, what did he want? I tried not to look directly at him. Kyoya sighed a little, "Kito, I need to talk with you. Please come with me." If Kyoya wanted to talk, he would undoubtedly find a way to talk to me whether I liked it or not. I knew there was no escaping this, so I replied softly with, "Okay... What's so important?" He said nothing in return, but he led me to an empty room.

I wasn't comfortable being alone with Kyoya. I didn't really trust him. He was standing in front of the door, so it would be really hard to escape. Kyoya obviously saw me trying to look for an escape, "Kito. Please look at me. I'm worried about you." I quickly looked up at him. Kyoya Ootori was worried? About someone like me? Why? Something in my expression made him continue rather quickly, "I mean, I've known you my whole life and you've never acted like this. You've never been one to get extremely upset. Especially not as upset as you were the other day." I knew exactly what day he meant. Tears burned in my eyes. I looked down and tried to hide the tears. I felt them sliding down my face.

Kyoya wrapped his arm around me and pulled me to his chest. He was warm and smelled really nice. I buried my face in his shirt. we stayed like this, me with my face in his chest and him holding me, for what seemed like forever. Honestly, I didn't want him to let go. When he finally did let go, I looked up at him. There was a light pink on his cheeks. Did he like me? I smiled a little. He could be nice. I smiled and hugged him. "Kito?" Kyoya asked. "Yeah?" I said softly, looking up. He smiled a little, "I'm glad you're feeling a little better." I smiled, "You're nicer than I thought, Kyoya." Kyoya looked at his watch, "Would you like to go to the Host Club with me?" I nodded, "Let's go! I want to see double trouble." Saying that made me sigh a little. It made me think of all out little signs and lies. I truly felt that if I stopped smiling, things wouldn't be okay ever again.

Kyoya and I walked to Music Room 3, both of us smiling. When we walked in the other hosts looked at us weirdly. Tamaki had a look like he thought me and 'Mommy' were together. The twins had their eyes fixed on Kyoya. Honey said something to Mori while looking at us. Haruhi was not exactly surprised. I decided that Tamaki had the funniest expression, so I was going to play with his head. I looked at Kyoya, "Hey Mommy? Why does Daddy look weird?" Quickly catching on to my plan Kyoya smiled, "Daddy is always weird. Didn't you know?"

Tamaki went over to the corner and grew some mushrooms. He's so dramatic. I knew Kyoya and Tamaki used to date. Kyoya's father didn't approve at all. I saw how upset was over the break up. The two were a good couple. Kyoya had been more distant after the break up. I'm glad he was opening up and joking again. It was more like the young Kyo-chan I knew. I felt my heart flutter a bit. Kyoya was smiling at the mushroom-growing boy in the corner.

At least Kyoya was happy... I could smile and laugh, but it was always short lived. I would feel the surge of happy, but then all my pain and insecurity would flood me worse than ever. People always say you can't see your own beauty, but I used to. It all left recently. Is my smile holding me together?
