Trials and Hardships (Kyoya Ootori OHSHC) (Not Finished)

According To Plan

Kyoya's P.O.V.

It had been exactly three weeks since the arrangement was off and Nami and I had a hell of a time trying to prepare ourselves to announce our engagement to the club, it wasn't that we were worried or in fear of judgement we just knew exactly how every one would take it from the start.

We had pushed the date back more and more, both knowing we couldn't avoid it but too stressed and mentally exhausted to deal with the reactions. We both were happy though, we could sit in silence and know that we had won and that was all that mattered. Perhaps we are a bit too young to be planning on marriage but we planned for the future and not anytime soon.

It felt odd almost, to know that we didn't have to fight anymore, a bittersweet feeling that left me speechless at times when I would look her way and fall silent. How lucky I am to be engaged to a beautiful woman like her, a woman who forgave me of my actions in the past and created a beautiful blossoming future.

I used to wonder what my purpose on this planet was, as many do and for times on end I would insist it was to suffer and fight for my father's appreciation. While I never did get that far, I got more than I expected and what I could only describe as pure magic. I got amazing friends who will stay by my side until I am six feet under the ground, a lovely home to live with my gorgeous fianceé.

Maybe it wasn't what I expected but that's okay, life isn't all we hope it to be and everyone has pain, I have come to realize that but studying the people I pass everyday. Strangers who I will never see again but have an entire life and story before them just like myself, it's an intriguing thought.

I watch Nami from the kitchen table, my cup of coffee releasing a trail of steam, I fond myself not being able to take my eyes off of her, as has happened many times before. She was only doing a little bundle of dishes in silence but for some reason, to me, she looked like a piece of art. The sounds of plates clashing were a symphony to my ear and I realized how it felt to be happy with my life, truly happy in all it's definitions.

As she places a cup against the towel we set by the sink I notice her bare finger, where a ring should be and go into thought. I need to get her one but would she enjoy one so soon? When we weren't planning on marrying for a couple years. I decided it would be best to invest and one and part of that was I felt as if she was almost naked. That ring had an entire story behind it and she was bare of one.

I set down the newspaper I was reading and stood, walking over to her to place a gentle kiss to her shoulder, "I have a few errands to run, you don't mind do you?"

She turns to me and smiles, placing a loving quick kiss to my lips that weakens me, "Of course I do, I never like being separated from you, Kyo. Still, I have a fair share of cleaning to do around here."

I chuckle and place another kiss to her temple, pulling away to whisper against her skin, "Wait with that, I'll help. This won't take long at all." We say our goodbyes and I walk out the door, nodding to one of my workers to go fetch the limo.

Nami's P.O.V.

I could feel Kyoya's eyes burning into me all morning from the table, I wasn't sure why but I felt a little unsettled but at the same time in comfort. He made me feel safe but I wondered why he was so trained on me. I ran a plate under the water, watching suds fall and swirl into the drain before placing it aside.

I could read what was on his mind, we both were thinking on breaking the news to the Club. We had pushed it back for almost a month now and was honestly surprised no one had picked up on it yet. We needed to though and I was positive we would within the week.

I hear Kyoya stand, the sound of his cup being placed against the table before hearing his footsteps behind me and the feeling of his lips against my shoulders.

He opens his mouth and asks if I was bothered if he ran off to do errands and I had to hold in a chuckle, it was so sweet when he asked if I cared if he did something. I knew it was because of his father and frowned to myself before turning, connecting our lips for a quick kiss.

"Of course I do, I never like being separated from you, Kyo. Still, I have a fair share of cleaning to do around here." I see him crack a smile and release a soft chuckle before he tells me to wait and we part with a final kiss.

I sigh and get back to working, it felt like a dream of mine. I still couldn't understand that we were engaged, after all the fighting and pain we were forced to endure, we were free and happy, a new chapter of our lives opening and our stories fusing to one.

It's funny, how when you find that person you know you will spend your life with, somebody who has wondered the same all their life and finally you can hold each other close and know that your lives were bound. All the pain you'll go through together, it's truly magical and makes life so much more interesting.

After finishing the dishes I send a quick text to Kyoya, asking if he would like to invite the club over tonight and break the news in which he replied seconds later that it was fine and I sent a quick group text to alert them, luckily, all of them were free and I chewed my gum as anxiety bit back. Even though I knew I shouldn't be I was still worried, I suppose that was normal though and sat down with a book to wait on Kyoya so we could straighten up the house.
