Emotions? (OHSHC ~ OC~ Fanfiction)

Chapter 22

Sweat dripped down my neck as I nervously paced. Pedestrians stared at me weirdly and I bristled at the attention, I rubbed my arms self consciously and sighed. I wanted to run. To go back home and hide behind the costume of a bad boy, but I couldn't... I liked Ayame. I couldn't lie to her any more.

I flattened down my skirt- the pale pink skirt my mother picked out for me- and straightened my cardigan. I tucked my hair behind my ear and fiddled with my hair pin nervously.

This was over kill, I looked too girly. Stupid, someone with a lack of figure shouldn't even bother trying to look like a girl. But, my mum dressed me, she looked happy when I asked her to make me look feminine. But, when I stared at myself in the mirror I couldn't help the contempt smile that brightened my face.

I still liked dressing androgynous more, I always felt more comfortable wearing minimal clothing. But, dressing feminine wasn't half bad after all.

I didn't like the stares I was getting though.

I heard puffing to my right and looked to see a running Ayame. She looked at her wrist watch and groaned.

"Hope I'm not late," She groaned and looked around. Her eyes skimmed over the crowd, pausing on me for a few seconds before continuing searching.

I sighed and made my way towards her. She looked at me in awe before confusion took over her features.

"K-Kiara?" She spoke unsurely and eyed my figure. "Is that you?"

"Ayame....." I said, my heart in my throat as I cleared my throat. "I've been hiding something from you..."

"..." Ayame stared at me in something akin to shock but far from disgust. Maybe we'd be fine?

"I'm- I'm biologically a girl..." I said and sighed. "I.. I guess you could call me gender fluid? I don't have an assigned gender, I guess I like to be androgynous more than anything..."

"...." Ayame stared at me, face blank. Tears began forming in her eyes and I stared in panic.

"I-I'm sorry for not telling you.." I said. Ayame shook her head in disagreement.

"No," Ayame said, her voice was nasally because of her stuffed nose. "I'm glad you told me."

"I understand if you no longer want to date me" I all but whispered, looking to the side self consciously.

"No!! I mean, wait," Ayame said and pulled me to the side of the street, away from prying eyes. "Don't misunderstand! It doesn't matter to me your gender," she trailed off into a shy whisper, blushing. "I'm just really happy that you trust me enough to tell me, and I.." she mumbled the last part and I had to strain forward to listen.

"Sorry, what was that?" I whispered, my breath fanned over her face and a light blush bloomed over her cheeks.

"I really like you, and if you're willing to try... I'd like to date you still. Only if you want to," she whispered and heat spread throughout my chest. I felt like crying, laughing or screaming. But I settled for a large smile, my face went hot and I giggled.

"Then, do you want to go grab something to eat with me?" I whispered and grabbed her attention, she looked up at me with a red face and smiled.

"I'd love to," Ayame said and I laughed.

"Are you sure you're fine with me?"

"Absolutely,"

"Even though I'm not who you thought I was?"

"Are you really any different?" Ayame asked and laughed at my dumbfounded face. "I think you're Kiara, not matter if you're a girl, boy or neither."

"Really?" asked and looked at her in shock when she nodded happily.

"Stop asking the same questions!" Ayame giggled and my heart melted. How adorable.

"You're too cute," I sniffed back tears and grabbed her hand happily.

"Why're you so happy?" Hani asked me as I stared dreamily off into the distance. He skipped next to me as we made our way to club. Mori was behind us.

"I'm in heaven!" I giggle as I gave a little twirl as we walked but I didn't answer the question.

Hani looked back to Mori who simply shrugged. I breezed through the doors and smiled at everyone.

The twins looked at me weirdly before whispering to each other.

"Kiara, your costume is in your dressing room." Haruhi said as she sat the tea down.

"Thank you~" I smiled and walked into the dressing rooms.

--
The team stared at where Kiana disappeared in confusion.

"Why is she in such a good mood?" Hikaru asked and Haruhi smiled.

"She had a good date," Haruhi simply said and the team spluttered in shock.

"With?!" Tamaki yelled and spun on Haruhi.

"Ayame." Haruhi said and looked away as the twins stared suspiciously.

"Did she even tell her she was a girl?" Hikaru questioned doubtfully, finger going to his face. Tamaki and Hani looked worried as they paced the room together.

"Are we ready everyone?" Kiana breezes into the lounge dressed in butler attire, a flowery breeze flew behind her as she hummed happily. When silence met her she paused before groaning.

"Are we doing the silent treatment again?? Really?" She looked up and paused at the worried faces of her friends staring at her. "What's it this time?"

"So..." Tamaki starts, trying to be discreet but failing miserably. "How did the date go?"

"Great!! Oh Ayame is so beautiful!" She gushes as her face grew red, Tamaki almost cooed at his cute daughter.

"Did you tell her the truth?" Kaoru asked.

"Yeah, she said the cutest thing, 'I think you're Kiara, boy, girl or neither' I almost burst right then," Kiara teared up joyfully holding back a squeal.

"Oh I'm so happy for you!" Hani squeals and he twirls around Kiara. "You should bring Ayame here so we can meet her!"

"That sounds like a great idea!" Tamaki exclaims as his eyes grow comically in size. "We'd like to meet her!"

"I'll ask her," Kiara grins, really wanting to introduce her girlfriend to her best friends.

Once shop is on its way Haruhi pulls Kiana aside for a moment. "Kiara, I'm really glad you found someone like Ayame who makes you happy,"

"You make me happy too," Kiara smiles, "you're my sister, I'll always have a special place in my heart for you."

Haruhi smiles happily, before getting back to work. With a light heart I continue to work too.
