Haruhi's Sister

Chapter 4: A Proposal

I only half noticed Haruhi and kyoya taking behind me as I exited the school building. I sighed heavily at the familiar group of boys waiting for me. No it wasn't the host club but my fanclub from school. The president of the club was quickly in front of me on one knee as he said "good afternoon our beautiful goddess!" I resisted the urge to roll my eyes as I said "good afternoon. Is there anything I can help you with today?" my voice which was normally mature and serious because whiny and baby like as it usually did when I was excessively uncomfortable or worried.

Unfortunately my fanclub was one of my most valuable assets so I kept up an act to keep them happy and on my side. The whole club blushed ferociously and I knew half of them were probably having some disgusting fantasy about me. Haruhi who was used to my fanclub by now just sighed quietly. The president of my fanclub smiled and said "your always so kind miss fugioka! We don't know how it is possible for someone as pure and perfect as you too be in this world."

i was getting annoyed with their whole shpeel but I kept up my act as I forced a blush and said "oh on the contrary I think it is you all who are to kind to me. Now please excuse my rudeness but I have a very busy day so if there's nothing you need..." i went to walk around him but he grabbed the skirt of my dress and that was when my act started to crumble. I glared down at his hand causing him to gulp down anything he was previously about to say. I noticed a hand slap his away from my dress and looked up, slightly surprised to see it was kyoya instead of Haruhi.

He pushed up his glasses causing them to glint as he asked "who are you boys?" the president of my club glared at kyoya but I could tell he was scared of the obviously better man in front of him. Mr. President shakily said "we are her beloved fanclub! The ones who protect our goddess shin fujioka!" I couldn't stop the eyeroll this time luckily only kyoya and Haruhi noticed it. Kyoya nodded and said "you say that but do you honestly know anything about her? Touching her so freely. If you were truly devoted to her you would know she has misophobia otherwise knows as an extreme fear of germs. You could have caused her to have a panick attack touching her so freely."

Mr. President gulped and looked away, though my club was "devoted" to me they honestly didn't know all that much about me. They usually gave me gifts that I despised and would often touch me without all that much restraint. I was slightly impressed with myself and my ability to keep up the act even though I wanted nothing more then to tell my group of stalkers off.

I forced a smile up at the president and said "oh please don't feel bad I usually try to hide my illness for fear of being judged. It's really not your fault, I do appreciate all my fanclub has done for me. Just perhaps you could be a little more thoughtful when going to touch or grab me?" they were all quickly knelt before me with their heads touching the ground as they begged my forgiveness. Since they couldn't see me I glared down at them in Disgust as I said still in my whiny voice "I forgive you all no worries. But I do see you have a new club member if I'm not mistaken." I quickly forced my face into a kind and caring look as they got up and presented a short shy looking boy with purple hair and glasses.

Mr president said "our goddess this is Yuki he's the newest and youngest member of our club." my smile turned genuine as I recognized the small boy, I had helped him and his mother a few times before and he was always quiet and polite. He was still only in middle school so I wasn't sure how he had join my fanclub that was meant for Highschoolers.

I still had gloves on so I hesitantly set my hand on his head as I said "it's nice seeing you again Yuki. Tell your mother I said hi. Is there anything you might need my help with?" he was shaking furiously as he took a particular rose that smelt off disinfectant from behind his back and said "w-will you marry me miss fugioka!?" my smile turned into a light frown as I instantly began to inspect him. He was a perfectly respectable young man in line to take over his mother's bakery but at the moment he was to young and unconfident.

He was looking at the ground still shaking as the rest of my fanclub glared at him, it was an unspoken rule in the club that none were to propose to me because I "belonged" to them all. I sighed and crouched down to his level as I lifted his chin and said "ask me again when you're 18, maybe by then you'll be suitable. After all I don't want an unconfident husband." his whole face turned bright red as he nodded and said "y-yes miss fujioka!" before running off, with the rest of my fanclub following him very angrily. I called out to them causing them to stop. for once I didn't have my act up as I glared menacingly at them and said "if even a hair on yuki's head is hurt I will end you all." they gulped and nodded before running off.

Haruhi sighed and said "well they're always exhausting. But look on the brightside you finally got a suitable proposal." i chuckled and said "he's not quite suitable yet, he's still much to unconfident if I were to test him now he'd break with the snap of my fingers and that is a turn off. Anyway I have that expo to get to, I'll see you at home Haruhi. Thank you for helping me kyoya, I'll see you tomorrow."

I began to walk towards the road and call a taxi but kyoya said "I believe the expo is on my way home. I could drop you off on the way." I chuckled and looked back as I said "no it's not, But thank you for the offer. I don't think it would be safe to go in a limo, the expo is in a bad part of town and I don't feel like chasing anyone in heels today if I get robbed because they think I'm rich. I'll just take a taxi. Goodbye now." kyoya sighed and said "I'm afraid I can't allow you to go alone if it's as dangerous as you say. I'll drop you off and leave some bodyguards with you."

I smiled quite liking how he was refusing to back down however I was a stubborn person I wasn't going to agree so easily. "I said no kyoya, it'll scare away all possible contracts if I have bodyguards with me. Besides that again they'll think I'm rich and probably kidnap me for Ransome. Are you going to be the one to pay them because my family obviously won't have the money and it's not like I'll be able to call in a favor while kidnapped."

He sighed and said "fine I'll go with you instead." I shook my head no and said "that's an even worse idea, you really are rich, we'll be robbed and kidnapped in five minutes and the rest of the club will hate me for allowing you in such a dangerous situation! Then when they find out I'm not rich they'll threaten my life if my Ransome isn't paid for and of course your family won't care that some commoner like me had been kidnapped and nobody will pay my Ransome so I'll be killed leaving Haruhi and father all alone where they'll fall into a deep depression, father will start drinking more and be killed in a bar fight. Haruhi will stop eating and die from starvation!"

I was panting as I started to panic at the thought of my family dying and my voice went back to being whiny. I fell to my knees as my heart started beating out of my chest as I clutched sunny to me and I started to hyperventilate. Haruhi ran over to me and said "it's ok shin. None of that is going to happen. It's just your hypochondria spinning this whole thing out of preportion." I felt someone grab my chin and flinched at the feeling until my eyes met with steely Grey ones.

I froze as kyoya looked straight into my eyes and said "I would never allow that to happen miss fujioka and if we were to get kidnapped my family would undoubtedly pay your ransom if only to keep our family image clean to the public. That's not to say you wouldn't have to pay us back but we would pay your Ransome. Meaning you won't be killed and your family will be fine. Now please calm down." again I couldn't help wondering if he was a God in human form as I fully calmed down. though my heart was still beating out of control I blamed that on kyoya's close proximity.

He gently let go of my face and held out some antibacterial wipes as he said "I apologize for touching you but I did not know how else I could get you to look at me." i hesitantly took one of the wipes and cleaned off my face and then I took off my gloves and cleaned my hands. Though I found I didn't feel like I needed to boil my face after kyoya touching it like I usually did.

my heart was still hammering in my chest as I nodded and said "I understand, thank you. I'm feeling a bit tired so I'm just going home for the day. Let's go haru, I can miss one expo." she nodded giving me a sympathetic look as we left.
