Transition (Hikaru X OC)

C.17

Friday. Seven days left. One week.

School passed quickly and at the Host Club, I hugged Kyoya tightly. "You can stop thanking me." He said softly. "Never." I smiled. "You have no idea what you did." "I have an idea." He chuckled.

"Why are you helping me so much? The surgery, my dad, why?" I asked and he shrugged. "I saw an opportunity to be helpful, and I took it."

I hugged him tighter. "I don't care how stoic you act, you're a big sweetheart." I smiled and heard him sigh.

My phone played my ringtone, my favourite song, and I turned away to answer it. "Hello?" "Kioshi." I heard a deep voice. "Junichi. Hi." I breathed a smile. "Ki, do you have any idea what you've done?" He sounded angry, so I stepped out and into the dressing room, sitting down.

"Yes, I got rid of his ass. Why are you angry?" "Because he was helping me pay for a place to live? Who's going to help me now?" He asked. "You can live with mom and me-" "Ha! Your mom does nothing but boss me around." "She's not like that! Don't you dare speak about my mom like that, Juni!" I snapped.

"Dad had my back." He grumbled. "Dad hurt mom and I. Dad doesn't accept me." I whispered. "Oh, you're still wearing skirts, Kioshi?" He sounded amused. "My name is Naomi. I'm a girl, Junichi." I said. "Fine. Naomi. Who's going to help me? I'm a single dad with a part time job. I need help." He sighed. "Dad helped me."

"Mom and I can help you. She won't ask for much for rent. She probably won't even ask you to pay rent. She'll probably just ask you to pay for water and electricity or something. And she'll probably get you a babysitter too." I said.

"Does she make you pay for shit?" "Yeah, I cover gas and groceries." "You have a job?" "Why do you sound so surprised. Of course I have a job." "What's your job?" "I'm a performer. I act, sing, and dance. I can also play piano when needed." I smiled, glad we weren't fighting anymore.

"And speaking of, you have a kid? Since when?" I asked. "Six months ago. It's a boy. His name is Hajime." "Aw, that's a pretty name. Hajime." I smiled. "I'm an aunt. Holy fuck, I'm an aunt." I suddenly realised. "Ha! Right, you're going to have meet your nephew." He said and I smiled and bit my lip. "He better be really fucking cute, this Hajime. Hold up, is his name Yagami Hajime?" "Yeah." "Oh my gods, that sounds great together. It even rhymes!" I laughed.

"So, Ki - Naomi. God, that's going to take some getting used to." He said and I laughed. "Well, I'm getting the surgery in a week." I shrugged. "Really? That's great! I'm happy for you." "Thanks. Here. I'll call mom and tell her you're living with us. I'm sure she'll be delighted." I said and he laughed. "I look forward to seeing you again." He said.

"Do you remember the address?" I asked and he was silent. "No. Okay. Do you know where Ouran high school is? The rich one?" "Yes!" "Meet me outside the gates there. Call me when you're there." "Okay, see you, Naomi." "See ya, Junichi." I said and we hung up. I called mom and talked to her, and she sighed and said she would start cleaning up one of the guest rooms we had.

I stepped back out. "Who was that?" Kyoya asked. "Yeah, who's Junichi?" Hikaru asked, coming over. "You sounded happy. Is Junichi your boyfriend?" Honey asked in a sing-song voice. "Ew. No. He's my brother." I said.

"I didn't know you had a brother." Kyoya said. "I don't talk about him often. I was happy because I haven't heard from him in about four years." I hummed.

An hour or so later, my phone rang again and I answered. "Hey, Juni." "Naomi. I'm here." "Okay, I'll be down in a few minutes." I said and hung up. I grabbed my bag and waved to the guys and went down and to the gates where he was standing, dark hair and stubble with a sort of cool, dangerous aura about him. I smiled and he enveloped me in a hug.

"You make a very pretty girl, I'll give you that." He smiled down at me. "You're still short." He snickered. "Shut the fuck up! I am tall for a female! I'm 5'7"!" I stomped my foot. "And wait until the makeup comes off. That's a whole different story." I sighed.

"How old are you anyway?" "I'm sixteen. Shouldn't you know this?" I asked and he shrugged. "How old are you?" I asked. "Twenty seven. Shouldn't you know this?" He mocked me and I hit his shoulder, then I noticed the baby in the backseat. "Oh my Lucifer, is this Hajime? He's adorable. Can I say hi?" I asked and Juni went over and unbuckled the baby from the babyseat and handed him over.

"Hi, Hajime. I'm Naomi, I'm your auntie Naomi." I said and he stared blankly at me, then a small smile appeared on his face. "You know, Hajime, I don't really like babies or kids. But you and I, we're going to get along. Just listen to auntie Naomi." I smiled and Juni took him back from me. "That's enough baby for you. Come on, let's go home." He said and I climbed into his truck and we went home together.
