Don't Leave Me: (Nekozawa x Reader)

Chapter 6

Your P.O.V

"Kirimi?" I ask for the child's attention for a moment as I study the contents of her room. My eyes drift to her bookshelf, so perfectly organized, so well kept. Odd for a child, but heaven for me! Who doesn't love perfectly kept and looked after book?!

"Why do you like me? Like, my manga and everything?" I question her, my curiosity getting the better of me again. "You're completely normal." she states simply, smiling in my direction. "Huh?" a deeply confused and slightly disappointed expression makes its way on to my face as a sweat drop appears on my head, "I wasn't expecting that response." "But that's why I like you (y/n)!" Kirimi announces, and next thing I know she jumps up onto her bed, doing a pose a lot like what Renge would do, I can't help but let out a little giggle. "You don't need any prince or princess to save you! You don't have special powers! Or a fairy godmother!" a smile graces my lips as the child goes on 'she's sweet' I think to myself. "You're exactly how I want to be! Sweet, pretty and very very funny, just to name a few things!" I throw my arms around the child, engulfing her in a tight bear hug, "You're so sweet Kirimi! But you just be you! That's all I want!" tears prick my eyes as I say this, not sad tears, tears of joy!

I think about everything I've ever done; all the good and the bad, yet she still aspires to be like me! "(y/n)? Why are you crying?" Kirimi asks, her voice muffled by my hug. She stands there, still on her bed, her arms flopping by her sides, her head tilted back slightly and her expression confused. I release her from my grip, leaping back out of embarrassment then rub the back of my neck out of awkwardness. "I do apologize for my sudden actions!" I drop my arms and offer a closed-eyed smile to her as she flops her tiny body into a sitting position on the mattress. "That's okay!" she giggles whilst sliding off the covers and planting her feet onto the floor once more. "Can you read with me now?!" she chimes, running her baby fingers over the spines of all the books on the book shelf until she found what she wanted. Her pale hand stops as her eyes fall on a book with a (f/c) spine and (s/f/c) lettering. 'Fangirl 101' it reads. As Kirimi takes it from the shelf, I see a picture on the front, it's me! This... This is my manga! As I see the full image, I blush like crazy! It's a picture of me posing with my headphones in and a book in my hand! Oh God no! I put my face in my hands as my cheeks shine crimson!

"K-Kirimi... I-Is that... M-me?" I stutter out of complete embarrassment to which the child just giggles, this just makes my cheeks grow an even darker colour if that was even possible! "D-Do we have t-to read my one?" I ask, parting the fingers on one of my hands so I can peek through and see her face. She's not even looking at me, she seems to be completely absorbed in the book. A little smile on her lips, her eyes wide with amazement as they scan each page. It's so heart-warming to see! My life bringing entertainment to this child! Wait... If she wasn't looking at me... What was she giggling at?

I see her flick to the next page, but she pauses for a moment and looks my way. "Do you not want to read this? It's the very first volume!" the blonde child chimes, holding up the cover and showing me it once more. I leap back and yelp, shielding my eyes because I can't handle the embarrassment! "Why do you keep on showing me that picture?! It's so embarrassing!" I blurt out whilst speaking into my hands.

A knock on the door saves the day. "Dinner is served. Please meet Master Umehito in the dining area as soon as you can Miss (l/n)." the butler from earlier spoke in that posh accent of his. "Oh, erm, thank you sir!" I smile to him after throwing my arms back to my sides instead of shielding my face, "Both Kirimi and I shall be right down." I curtsy as he scoots away, closing the door behind him. Clearing my throat, I chirp to the child, "Ready to go and eat?" to which she places her book back on the shelf and dances to the door! "I take that as a yes..." I mumble to myself, then Kirimi decides to take my hand and drag me to the dining room.

We make our way down the stairs to the doors connecting the hall way to the dining room. It's such a beautiful home, I have to admit. I lift my hand to touch the brass door handle, and just as my fingers are about to wrap around it to open, the doors are flung open with an excited looking blonde on the other side. "Ah, (y/n)! You finally join us!" none other than Tamaki Suoh himself greets!

Shock and dread washes over me; a tsunami of unwanted feelings. 'They're going to quiz me now. So many questions that I don't want to, or even know how to, answer... Wait, I'll question them first. Tamaki loves talking about himself and that host club, I won't be able to get a word in at all! Great!' lifting my chin up, I look into those fabulous violet eyes, "Tamaki-Senpai, may I ask, what are you and your host club doing here after I found you at my window earlier?" I smirk at the mention of the incident, that's sure to get him flustered.

Surprisingly, Nekozawa glides out of the dining room, which I noticed is dark and only lit by candle light 'Kirimi isn't going to eat in there...', he steps right inbetween Tamaki and I, blocking his view of me and my view of him. I can see Umehito's blonde locks under his cape hood, he must have decided with the darkness in the dining room that he wouldn't wear his signature wig. "He was outside your window?" he asks wide-eyed, how sweet, he's concerned for me! I offer a closed eye smile and say "Yeah, but don't worry! They were all just curious of me. That's all!" Umehito releases a breath that I assume he was holding awaiting my reply. "That explains why they were found in the garden. I thought you may like some more company than just myself and Kirimi, so I invited the famous host club. Is that okay? Is that the normal thing to do?" he questions at the end, 'damn he's so cute!' "Of course it is!" I cheer and throw my arms around him as I smile into the darkness of his clothing.

'I want to stay here forever. I never want to return. I don't want to leave him.'

Sorry it's so short and late! I've been very busy with exams and all that jazz! But I hope you enjoyed this chapter anyways!
