Formidable Enmity [ Ootori Kyouya ] R18

Berlin (R18)

A class trip to Berlin turned out different when Kyouya and Astrea were placed in rooms opposite one another. During the trip, they had a casual argument over history and politics, despite them deciding to walk together to their rooms that night. It was evident on how both of them knew their world war history like the back of their hand, especially about the holocaust and the events that entailed with it.

Astrea remembers the times Kyouya talked about it in front of the Brandenburg Gate.

'That's a pretty good explanation. But did you know the East Berlin Wall stayed in place and became an art gallery?' Astrea took a chance to talk.

'Really?' Kyouya argued.

'Guess we'll be checking it out with the class then.'

The whole classes proceeded to do some sightseeing in East Berlin, while Kyouya inspected the art at the wall, not without taking a glance at a particular colleague once in a while. She was staring intently at most of the paintings on the wall, as if no one was around.

That night, Astrea was about to enter her designated room when he opened his door and asked,

'Can we have a little chat?'

Astrea raised an eyebrow.

'Haven't we chatted all day?'

Kyouya smirked as he pulled the prestigious girl into his room and asserted dominance. She released herself from his grasp and raised a leg to kick him.

Kyouya grabbed her leg before she could even retaliate.

'I may not look like it, but my strength is not something for you to look down upon.'

Astrea retracted her moves and scoffed.

'Let's fight then. See who has the upper hand.'

Kyouya loosened his tie with a devilish smile on his lips.

'Oh, we'll fight plenty on bed.'

'Seriously? If you only wanted to sleep with me, you could've just discussed things first.'

He wanted a little bit of revenge. A taste of Eve's forbidden apple due to their differences in views. The fact that his father told him to stay away from the Antares corp, made him even more interested in the whole ordeal. Tamaki had told him to follow his heart anyway.

'Tell me why should I have sex with an enemy.' Astrea aggressively pushed him to the wall.

Kyouya immediately leaned forward and grabbed her chin, his darkened expression slowly affected Astrea as she saw him for what he truly is; a perfectionist, manipulative devil in disguise. He whispered darkly,

'You know what they say, keep your friends close and your enemies closer.' He confessed.

I keep chanting your name as I count the stars at night.

Growing up having more training than actual friends, Astrea slept around, back in her alma mater. Then she purposely forget about those people, as they were never at par with the Antares standard.

In a school made only for the wealthy, these things were common. Families can set their sons and daughters up for an engagement, but that doesn't mean they actually love each other.

The Antares corp kept trying to set her up with reputable men, ironically older at least 3 years older than her, instead of someone from Ouran High. Son of CEOs; Heirs of non-immediate royal families; a wealthy German nobleman were some of them.

Astrea rejected all the men.

She hated how damaging the mentality had been, marrying off wealthy sons and daughters, engaging them without their full consent. Wonder if there was a lot more 'secret' relationships that couldn't proceed because of it.
