Yuki and the Host Club

Ch. 5

Once we reach the top of the stairs that lead to his room, Tamaki stops in front of his door and looks at me. I look back at him and blush slightly. He takes a step closer and looks down on me. His eyes show guilt, sorrow, and passion.

"Yuki...I" he stuttered. "I really like you... and Yuki... I can't bear to let you go. I am truthfully sorry I couldn't go with you-" I cut him off with a finger to his lips. I shake my head and smile. He pulls me into a warm embrace and I snuggle my face in his neck. He whispers in my ear "Um... you should get some rest, my dear." I smile and blush darkly. We pull away and he turns the gold and neatly designed door handle to his enormous room. Everything about it suggested wealthy and spoiled. My face lightens at how magnificent his room is and remember how bland mine is.

I look back at Tamaki. He smiles at my reaction towards his room and walks to me. He gestures his hand towards his bed while he turns to his bathroom to change. I run to his bed and crawl onto it, careful not to mess up the perfectly laid blanket. I sit there and listen to Tamaki turn on his shower. The blankets have a silky feel to it and I continue to feel the texture. I lay may cheek against one of the two pillows and close my eyes. I can smell that he uses a cologne-like shampoo for his "gorgeous hair", as Tamaki would put it. I smile at his vocabulary about himself and drift off into sleep.

I wake up in the middle of the night to find Tamaki laying next to me, his breaths slow and steady under the blankets. Its dark inside the room and every piece of furniture looks like a figure... just staring at me. I pull the blankets up to my chin and look around, making a mental note to see if anything has moved closer to me. The dark has been my enemy for years. Ever since I was 2, before my mom divorced my dad, I was hit multiple times when I screwed up things like dinner, chores, sleeping in to long. When he was done hitting me, he would lock me in the closet under the staircase. We keep old furniture and stuffed animals from when I was a baby and boxes full of stuff we didn't need out. It was always dark in there besides the little strip of light under the door. The strip of light would shine on the objects and the black would go together, making shapes of monsters or weird shaped people. Though, the light coming from Tamaki's room is through the curtains. The moonlight making furniture look like monsters.

Tamaki wakes up, noticing that I am sitting up and sniffling as I remember my past.

He whispers "Hey, Yuki. Are you ok?" he gently puts a hand on my back. I look down at him, tears streaming down my face.

"I don't want to be alone." I start panicking. "I DON'T WANT TO BE IN THE DARK!" Now the tears are pouring down my face. Tamaki pulls me towards him, my face on his chest. I can feel and hear his steady heart beat. I cry on his chest, listening to his heartbeat. After a while of listening, it calmed me down to only an occasional sniffle.

"I'm always here for you, Yuki. I will be your candle light in the darkness. The monsters won't get you... I promise." Tamaki says softly to me. He lifts my chin up with his index finger. I blush in the darkness. Our bodies are close together, our legs intertwined with one another, and my face merely centimeters away from his. He pulls my face gently to his and our lips touch. They are soft and comfort me, my body filling with warmth. He pulls away and I am blushing uncontrollably. When he leans back to lay down, he keeps me in his arms so that I am still with him. I am in shock at what happened. I look up at Tamaki, but I only see his eyes closed. When I lay my head on his chest again, I can still hear his heartbeat. But this time, faster. I smile and doze off in Tamaki's arms.
