Chapter 41 | And so Kyoya met Him!

--two weeks later--

~Third Person POV~

"It's been two weeks, Arabella! Two weeks and you still haven't told them!" Haruhi said.

Arabella sighed. "I know, Haruhi! I'm sorry! Every time I tell myself I'm going to tell them, I end up chickening out and then eventually forgetting and by the time I remember it's the next day and I still haven't told them! I'm just not ready yet!" she said.

"Yeah, well, you better get ready! You have about another week to tell them that you're leaving. If you don't tell them and leave without them knowing, they'll be confused and hurt. Then they'll have to hear it from me, and I'm pretty sure they wouldn't want that--they'd want to hear it from you. If you don't tell them, they'll really be hurt, Arabella. They'll already be hurt by the fact that you're moving, let's not hurt them any more than we have to." Haruhi said.

Arabella gave a nod. "You're right... I have to tell them soon. In fact, I'll tell them today."

"After club hours?"

"No. Before club hours. Right away. I can't wait anymore, if I do, I won't do it. It's then or never."

"Good idea. I know it'll be painful, but it's gotta happen." Haruhi said.

"You're right. And it's happening now." Arabella said as she and Haruhi opened the doors to Music Room 3. They stepped inside.

"You're late," Kyoya said. "As always."

"By what? One minute?" Arabella asked.

"No. Two minutes."

"What a tragedy." Haruhi said sarcastically. Then, she gave Arabella a look.

Arabella took a deep breath. "Guys, I have to tell you something--"

She was cut off by Kyoya. "Can't it wait until after hours?" he asked.

"W-Well, not really..." Arabella said.

"What is it you need to tell us, my little girl?" Tamaki asked her.

"Oooh! Is it big? Is it awesome?" Hikaru said, excited.

"Go on, tell us!" Kaoru urged.

"Yeah, what is it, Ara-chan?" Honey asked.

Haruhi looked at Arabella.

Arabella gulped. "Well, ya' see... what happened--"

She was interrupted by Kyoya again. "You can tell us after hours. Our guests should be arriving now." he said.

The doors to Music Room 3 opened.

They all got into position. "Welcome!"

"My, my... what is that unfamiliar-looking piece of furniture?" one of their customers asked.

"That is a kotatsu, if memory serves." said another.

"Oh, is that what those are? It's my first time seeing one!" another customer said.

"Me too!"

"Normally, kotatsu are only used during the winter. As such, it may be a little early in the season for these, which makes this fitting for all of you, who are ahead of your time, to take pleasure in. Ladies, please fully enjoy the home-style kotatsu service of the Host Club members today!" Tamaki said, gesturing at all the kotatsu all around the music room.
