Elise's POV
* * * * * * * * * *
I woke up in late in the day feeling like complete shit. Including a nauseating headache. But I forgot all about it when I saw Kyoya sitting at the end of my bed, waiting for me to wake up. Then I remembered vaguely him carrying me in from the limo and staying in my room. I shot forward and tackled him in a hug/straddle. Then I kissed every inch of his face, saving his lips for last. "Good morning to you too." He says, out of breath from the face sucking. (HEH FACE SUCKING) "Morning! So, what are we doing today? It's Saturday, so we could go out or something. " I say hopping over to my closet, my headache all but forgotten. "Actually, I'm afraid we have a host club meeting today. " Kyoya sighs. " Tamaki wants us there in two hours." He says and I peek out of my closet, "Wait, I'm going too?" "Well yeah, you're the Host clubs first honorary guest. That means you're apart of the club and we need your input." Kyoya explains to me & I nod. "Okay, well get out so I can get ready." I shoo him off after he stole one more kiss. Everything is happening so fast. I let my thoughts wander as I shower, then remembered my distraction I had hidden under my toilet mat. But it wasn't there. Oh crap. It's okay, I have more. I think and check in my drawers. Not here either. SHIT. "Damnit. DAMNIT. FUCKING Kyoya must've a taken them all. That won't stop me. Running my hand through my hair, I walk back to my closet to find and outfit for today. (Above) After, I ran downstairs to meet Kyoya at the car since I took longer to get ready than I should've.

Roughly an hour later we pulled up to the Suoh families second "home" which was almost bigger than Ouran Academy it's self. Kyoya took my hand as we walked in, and I reluctantly pull it away. "I'm still helping Koaru, remember? " I whisper and he frowns but nods anyways as we reach the great hall where Tamaki demanded we meet. The twins and Haruhi were still not there, but Takashi and Mitsukuni were there, Mori with a large basket of Roses, and Honey with two cakes and a bottle of grape juice. Tamaki was pacing back and forth, muttering about how he shouldn't have entrusted his "daughter" to the menacing doppelgangers." "Tamaki, stop pacing, you're making me dizzy I walk to him and hold him in place. " Oh! Elise! I'm so glad you're here! You can help Takashi and Mitsukuni pluck the rose petals!" He said, crushing me in his usual hug. " What are the petals for?" "The entrance. When ever a guest takes a step into the Club room, a pressure plate is set off, releasing the roses to blow magestically past the guest." Tamaki twirls around as he explained it to me and I roll my eyes. Magestically? I nearly died choking on those damned petals! A few minutes passed, and finally the twins and Haruhi showed up, instantly being lectured by His Majesty. " Relax milord, we took longer because Koaru forgot to bring our drawings for this month's theme layout. Nothing happened." The twins say and Tamaki calms down quickly, knowing that as close to an apology as he's ever going to get. Koaru's eyes land on me and he steps forward with open arms, which I jump into smiling. He gives me a light squeeze then kisses my cheek. Behind him Hikaru looks at me in a way the makes me shiver. "Okay, we're all here, so let's head to one of the lounges and get started." Tamaki says and starts skipping ahead of us, gesturing we should follow.

TRIGGER WARNING: THE FOLLOWING MAY INCLUDE SELF HARM TRIGGERS.

The other club members gather around while Mori and Honey Sempai join me plucking the rose petals. " El-Chan? Why do you call me Sempai? We're the same age so there's not really a need." Hunny asks me, sipping some of his grape juice. " Well, you technically are older than me, by a month... Sorta." I shrug. Mitsukuni's birthday is on February 29th, so speaking in science terms, he's only 4 and a half years old. " I see. Oh! But there's something that I did want to ask you, if you don't mind?" Hunny says shyly and I nod, gesturing him to go on. "Well- Why are you more scared of Kyoya getting hurt then yourself?" He asks and it catches me completely off guard, and I pick my finger on a thorn from the rose I held. I look down in time to see a drop of scarlet blood fall to the floor, as another one beads up from the source. "A-Uhhhm. Excuse me!" I mutter and rush out. I had been here one before when I first met Tamaki and vaguely remembered where one of the bathrooms were. I rush to it and collapse when I enter. It wasn't the question that caused me to run. It was seeing that blood, which I had been aching to draw for weeks. Standing up, I dig through the bathroom drawers, but I only found an eyeliner pencil sharpener. I quickly break it apart and take the small little blade to my wrist. I need this. I deserve this. Quickly I draw it back against my arm. Seconds later little scarlet beads form and then turn into a thin line where I sliced. But one cut has never been enough for me, and so I cut again, watched the beads turn to the line, then did it again. Swipe, beads, line. Swipe, beads, line. I did this until one whole side of my arm was covered, in beautiful lines of red, that had already begun dripping to the marble floor below me. Suddenly a knock came at the door and I quickly shove the blade into my pocket. "Elise? Are you alright? Honey said you ran off out of nowhere." Kyoya worry soaked voice came through the door. "I'm fine, I just pricked my finger on a thorn, that's all. I didn't want to get blood on that white carpet. But I did get one drop. I'll be out in a second. " I call, not wanting him to come in. I turn on the water and wipe off my arm and the blood on the floor, then use toilet paper to wrap it up so it won't bleed through my sleeves. I step out and met Kyoya's concerned gaze. " I'm fine, really." I smile at him and skip ahead back to the others. Returning to plucking roses while the others discuss the plan for the week and joke around.

Kyoya's POV
* * * * * * * * * * * *

Elise and I arrived home later than planned, so we ate dinner alone in my room and watched Soul Eater. "So you realize that Hikaru is already jealous, right?" I say, brushing g her long light brown hair behind her ear and kissing her jawbone. She shivers and crinkled her nose, "I am aware. But we have to wait until he cracks. I just wish he was as fragile as you." She says, smirking. I raise an eyebrow at her and scoot closer, "Oh really? I'm fragile?" I whisper, and reach out to grab her, but I forgot that no matter how clumsy Elise is, she makes up for it in speed. She burst out the door cackling, and soon after I heard a loud thump. Aaaaahh there's the clumsiness. I stifle a laugh and walk out to see her already on her feet and down the hallway. I chase after her, but she remains a good 4 yards ahead of me, meaning I'll have to wait until she trips on air again. Lucky for me, it happened in a matter of seconds and she falls backwards and I skid to a stop in front of her. I waste no time throwing her over my shoulder and taking her back to my room. She gently pounded on my back, but didn't really struggle. I toss her on the bed and straddle her "Am I still the fragile one?" I asks and she hisses "Don't tease me." then yanks me down and kisses me, hard. I gasp at her sudden move and she takes the opportunity to slip her tounge through my ajar lips, taking all the breath out of me. I wrap my arms around her torso and quickly close the gap between us. We kissed until we were gasping for breath, and she still planted little kisses on my neck, making me shiver slightly. She tugged at my shirt, and it crossed my mind just how fast things were suddenly moving. I gently place my hand on hers and pull away. "We should wait on that bit." I whisper, leaning down and kissing her nose. But when I looked into her eyes, they were glossy, welling up with tears. "Did I say something? I didn't mean to-" "NO, you didn't do anything, I was being dumb. I just... I wanted to stop thinking about everything, and being that close to you, my mind would go blank." Elise cut me off and wiped her eyes when I sat up. "Oh Elise..." I sigh and she stands up quickly, "I'm fine, Kyoya. I'm just.. Recovering. That doesn't justify you taking away all of my razors. Why couldn't you just talk to me and tell me you were worried, or that you knew why I had that panic atack in the first place?" she snaps at me and I shake my head, "I know you're fine Elise. But I wanted you to tell me about it. I can't help if you don't tell me what you're feeling. That's also part of being in a relationship." I say calmly. "How am I supposed to say, by the way, my m-mom's come to Japan TOHAUNTMEANDMAKEMEMISSERABLE??!!! HOW DO I SAY SHE ABANDONED ME AND WANTED MY FATHER AND ME DEAD? HOW DO I SAY I'M TERRIFIED SHE'LL COME FOR YOU?" she sobs and falls on het knees, "I'd rather die than lose you..." she chokes out and I pull her up into my arms, and she sobs.

"I'd rather die with you. "

How sweet. "Lithia! Come here!" I shout and my daughter skurries out with my bottle of Vodka. Her red hair is all over her face, wet with sweat. "Have you finished your training yet?" I say, downing a shot. "Just now ma'am, yes." She bows and I gesture for her to sit. "Have you been transferred to the Ootori main estate yet?" She smirks, "I got the pares today. I begin on Monday." I beam at her, "For once, you have done well. When you start, you are to provoke your sister as much as possible. Flirt with the boy." I lean forward, pouring another drink. Lithia smirks, "Oh don't worry mother, Elise will suffer.
