Chapter 5.5: Love Decision (Part 2)

I could hear the sound of my heart beating, while I sat next to Kyoya.
 
'This is not what I expected to happen.' I thought quietly to myself.
 
The teacher starts the lesson.
 
'Who do I chose? Tamaki or Kyoya?' My head saying to pick Tamaki, but my heart is saying to go with Kyoya. Ugh, why does love have to be so hard.' I thought. 'Alright, I need to take a step back and breathe.'
 
I let out a small calming sigh, and scribbled a note 'I accept your dinner date' and passed it over to him. Kyoya saw the note and wrote back. 'Schedule next Saturday for a night out on the town. See you then.’ 
Haruhi's POV
 
Her first class was finally over, she walked out to her locker to switch textbooks for her next class, then Hikaru stop by.
 
"Hey, did you get my text?" Hikaru asked, while resting his arm against a random locker.
"Text?" Haruhi replied, confused.
"I had sent you a message saying if you want to go on another date." Hikaru said.
"For real?" Haruhi answered, then asked. "Wait, this isn't another one of you and Karou's teasing schemes is it?"
"I'm speaking on my own terms, no strings attracted, so what ya say?" Hikaru asked.
 
Haruhi's face softened for a moment, that Hikaru was asking her himself, and not behind Karou. She nods her head yes.
 
"Cool. I'll pick ya up this Saturday." Hikaru said. "See ya later Haruhi."
 
He walks off to his next class, Haruhi grabbed her next textbook from her locker, and puts away the first then heads towards her next class as well.
Meanwhile..
 
As the day went along, classes were changing every hour, students were hanging out in different spots of the school either studying or chatting with their friends. Until it was time for the host club, to gathered in the club room.
 
"The theme for today will be 'Knights'." Tamaki announced to everyone in a fluttery tone.
 
Haruhi and everyone else made a face, knowing that he was on one of his usual dramatic ideas.
 
"Tama-chan really must be in a good mood." Honey said.
"Knowing him, it could mean anything." Haruhi replied, glancing over to Tamaki.
"Places everyone, our guests will be arriving soon." He said.
 
All the hosts got into their Knight costumes, then the ladies started to arrive one by one.
 
I on the only hand was busy chatting with Kimie at lunch.
 
"Tomorrow's the big date night. What you gonna wear? Is he gonna kiss you?" She said bombarding me with questions.
"Stop with the multitude of questions Kim, geez." I replied. "Technically this is my first official date, so I don't know how things are going to go."
"Sorry I'm just excited for you that's all." She said with a excited tone.
"Oh, and get this, no sooner I get a dinner invite from Tamaki, Kyoya Ootori goes and asks me out." I replied, whispering.
"You're kidding me, both Tamaki and Kyoya are interested in you. Lucky, I wish I had two boys asked me out at the same time. Who are you choosing?" She asked.
"That's the problem, I don't know who I'm gonna choose." I replied. "Thankfully both dates are not on the same Saturday."
"You'll know when the time is right to choose." She said in a reassuring voice.
"Thanks for listening Kimie, you are a great friend." I said.
"No problem." She said. "Anytime."
 
I looked up at the clock. "Whoops, I better be going. Talk to you later Kimie. You can have the rest of my lunch, if you want."
 
"Thanks, see ya Yuri!" She said. picking off the uneaten parts.
 
I walked through the hall, soon I came in contact someone who was wearing a black cloak, and having the hood up over their face.
 
“Beware of your curiosity, it will put you into a heap of trouble." the cloaked figure came up and spoke to me.
"Excess me?" I replied, a little creeped out.
"Beware. Beware." the cloaked figure repeated then walked off.
"What was that all about?" I said, walking up the main forure steps. "Beware of what?"
 
I walk towards the direction of the abandoned music room, thinking of the way to tell Tamaki without causing a big scene. Upon arriving in front of the doors, I stopped and took a relaxing breath before entering.
 
'Here goes nothing.' I thought as I opened the doors.
 
The host club did their routined performance whenever a guest came into the room.
All of them said 'Welcome' as I entered the room. Tamaki began to speak in his Knight character role.
"Princess Yuri. I would travel the darkest cave, slay any dragon that gets in my way, and protect you forevermore." Tamaki spoke dramatically as he dawn in the Knight's costume.
 
I was speechless once again, with my mouth hanging open.
 
"Come. Let us sit and have a little chat." He said.
 
Tamaki lightly touches my hand and escorts me over to the couch.
 
"Would you like some tea?" he asked.
"Yes please." I replied nicely.
 
He motioned a 'come here' finger to Haruhi to bring the tea cart.
 
"Please pour this nice young lady a cup of tea." Tamaki said.
 
Haruhi poured some hot water into a small teacup then placed a teabag in it, and handed over to me.
 
"Here you go." Haruhi said, with a small smile.
"Oh, thank you." I replied, as I grabbed it.
 
I silently dipped the teabag in the hot water, until he broke the silence, by asking about my answer to his dinner invite.
 
"What is your answer to my note I gave you ?" Tamaki whispered softly.
What is Yuri going to say to Tamaki ?
Stay tuned to Chapter 6 to find out what happens.
