Chapter 48: The Power Couple's third-wheels!

Pencil lead quietly scratched across a half-filled piece of paper, forming an answer for Haruhi Fujioka's history homework. The girl was quiet as she tried to focus on the questions she was supposed to have answered by tomorrow morning. She felt wired. It was a little past 8:30 at night already, and this was her last bit of homework left, so she figured by 9 o'clock she'd be done. But this was still cutting it close for her.

Haruhi almost went to tell her sister exactly that before she remembered she wasn't speaking to Jin at the moment.

Her older sister was lounging on the couch in their apartment's living room, a paperback book in her right hand. She was on the left side of the piece of furniture, while Haruhi sat at the foot of the right side, her textbooks spread out on the table in the middle of the room. Kyoya was there as well, his lean body taking up the rest of the couch while his head contently rested in his girlfriend's lap, eyes closed as Jin's free hand gently combed through his hair. The girl's Tardis blanket was thrown over Kyoya's lower half, but it was still long enough to drape to the floor for Haruhi to sit on.

The couple was still dressed up from their night out, Jin hadn't even removed her Hufflepuff scarf, which irritated Haruhi to no end. It was almost enough to make her wish that her father would come home early and kick Kyoya out for the night… even though she knew he couldn't.

After their "family outing" at the beginning of the month, when the Fujioka's, Arai's, and the Host Club went to the apple orchard together, Ranka hadn't exactly made it out squeaky clean. Jin had been quick to confront him on how he'd sicced the hosts on her and Kyoya to keep them apart. In her eyes, he had blatantly broken his promise to behave on their outing.

But Ranka claimed he had found a loophole.

" You never mentioned asking the Hosts to step in for me! You only said I couldn't hire anyone! They did it on their own free will."

Haruhi eventually stepped in to offer a compromise, except now she was regretting opening her mouth at all.

Because now, the deal was that while Kyoya still wasn't allowed to stay at the Fujioka's overnight, his curfew of visitation was set as Jin's bedtime. Which she did not have. Meaning that as long as Jin was still awake, Kyoya could remain in the apartment… so long as they kept out of her bedroom and someone else was with them.

"Haru? Did Dad say when he was coming home tonight? I thought he mentioned covering for another employee, but he could've been talking about tomorrow."

Haruhi remained silent.

"Really? Exactly how long are you going to keep this up?"

Quiet.

"Haru."

The shorter girl flipped a page of her textbook.

"Haru, I do not deserve this, and we both know you can't keep this up for much longer."

"Yes, I can!" Haruhi dropped her pencil in frustration, turning around from her spot on the floor to glare at the couple, "How could you do it? How long have we talked about going to see 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them'? It was the one movie we were going to see in theaters this whole year! And you went without me! "

"If I may, Haruhi, I was the one who planned to take your sister to that showing, and I made it a surprise so there was little she could do to change it." Kyoya hummed as Jin's fingers continued to scratch pleasantly across his scalp, "There really isn't any reason that you and Jin can't go see the movie yourselves. I paid for Jin's ticket, so she still has any money that she saved up for you two to go on a 'girls night'."

Haruhi scowled, "But that's not the point!"

"Oh, I wouldn't mind seeing it again, though," Jin grinned, her mischievousness coming into play along with her 'older sibling' rank, "It was the best movie ever. And the sushi we had after? Glasses, whatever that place you took us to was called… wow. If I had the money, I'd be going there at least once a month."

"As you wish." Kyoya reached up to gently stroke Jin's cheek with a single finger before gently cupping her cheek. The brunette lowered her book onto his chest, letting it fall shut as she brought her right hand up to place over his heart. She smiled and kissed at the palm of the hand on her face, then shyly peeked down at the boy in her lap.

"I felt your heart rate pick up, Glasses."

Kyoya responded with a smirk before sitting up slightly, using his hand to steer Jin down for a proper kiss on the lips.

The two broke apart when a pencil hit Kyoya's shoulder before rolling away across the floor.

"Oh my- get a room, you two! Geez!"

Haruhi frantically started packing up her stuff as Jin started laughing, "I thought you two were over the lovey-dovey Honeymoon phase? It's disturbing enough to see Kyoya-senpai doing those things, but the fact that he's doing it with my sister is-" she was cut off with her own fake gagging. Kyoya had recaptured Jin's lips while her little sister had gone on a tirade.

"Please keep in mind that we all use that couch, Nēchan! Also, fair warning, the walls are thin!"

And she quickly shut herself into her bedroom, unable to not smile along as her sister's laughter followed her. It grossed her out… but she was undeniably happy for her sister.

Even if she was the occasional third-wheel.

Ding ding! Ding ding!

Jin's head perked up on instinct, her right hand pulling her phone out of her right pocket. Of course, before she could read the new message, the device was plucked from her hands.

"Hey!"

Kaoru hurried in front of her down the school hallway, scrolling through messages while his brother walked along beside him, "Don't freak out, Jin-senpai."

"We just want to see who was dumb enough to text you during your second honeymoon."

Jin blushed, unsure whether she should slip out of Kyoya's hold after that last comment, "How did you get into my phone? I changed my password!"

"5-6-5-3. K-O-J-F. Seriously, you need to give us some more credit."

Her face burned hotter.

"Hey, Kyoya-senpai?"

"Why is your sister texting your girlfriend?"

The twins snorted and turned around, nearly shoving the device into the couple's faces, "And why is she referring to Jin-senpai as her 'sister-in-law'?

At that point, Jin had her face completely covered by her gloved hands, just a hint of red peeking around between her fingers. Her boyfriend, however, merely chuckled and tightened his grip around the girl's waist.

"I told you she would like you."

* Flashback *

"Kyoya! Happy birthday!" A girl sitting on a nearby park bench jumped up from her seat, rushing over to greet her younger brother. Jin couldn't help but compare the two siblings in her head as her boyfriend was wrapped up in a hug.

The two had quite a few similar features. The glossy black hair the most prominent, of course, but when Fuyumi pulled back to look over her only younger sibling, Jin got a good look at her eyes. Not only were they the same stormy grey, but there was a familiar softness within them that she had come to recognize. The older woman's face was also somewhat sharp, with the potential for seriousness, and yet it was cheerful and open as Fuyumi started babbling about her train ride back to Bunkyo.

And then Fuyumi noticed the brunette.

"Kyo-kyo? Who's this young lady?"

Whatever nerves Jin had experienced on their way to the park immediately vanished in the presence of Kyoya's only sister. Fuyumi just had that special personality that could make anyone feel safe with her, and even though she didn't even know Jin's name or who she was in relation to her brother, it was clear that Fuyumi was happy to meet someone new.

Kyoya smirked and pulled away from his sister, "Fuyumi, do you remember me telling you about the new students at Ouran Academy? The Fujioka's?"

Fuyumi smiled and nodded, "I do! Oh! Oh! Wait! Let me guess which one it is!" She looked at the brunette for about four seconds before smiling, "Jin, right?"

She received a surprised and happy laugh, "That's me! How did you know right off the bat?"

The ravenette giggled, her smile taking a slightly devious turn, "Oh… intuition…" She paused, "And because Kyoya talks about you… often. I remembered him describing you with beautiful long brown hair, big brown doe-like eyes, a cute face, nice figure…"

She suddenly trailed off, looking at her brother in confusion while Jin bashfully looked at her toes.

"Yes?"

"You're not stopping me."

Kyoya raised an eyebrow, "Should I be?"

"Well, when your friend Tamaki Suoh came to our house and I started telling him how you described him to me, you told me to stop talking. Was that because your descriptions of him weren't nearly as flattering?"

The boy chuckled, "Partially. And besides, you were just telling Jin the truth after all."

Jin scoffed, looking away with a blush. In front of her, Fuyumi started looking between her brother and her new friend in cautious confusion, "Kyo… is there a reason you decided to introduce us today of all days?"

He smirked a little wider, "I merely assumed that you would prefer to meet Jin before I told you she was my girlfriend."

Fuyumi screamed. Her hands came up to wave around her face, a full blown smile on her face as she began jumping. A fangirl? No wonder Kyoya doesn't get easily annoyed with the clients. Or with me when Supernatural is on. Or just recently when we went to see Fantastic Beasts...

"When did this happen? Oh, my, gosh Kyoya why didn't you tell me before?! I knew you liked her because of the way you talked about her all the time but why didn't you tell me she was your girlfriend? "

Kyoya shrugged, "I believe we became official… a little less than three months ago. It was early September."

" Three months! " Fuyumi shrieked, her hands coming forward to grab at her brother's suit jacket, " Do you mean to tell me you've been dating someone for three months and never told me? "

The boy shrugged again, "I knew that you would want to meet her as soon as you heard, so I decided to wait until there was a good opportunity for you two to meet."

Fuyumi still looked angry, but she looked at Jin next, "What on Earth do you see in him?"

"Jury's out."

Kyoya shot an unamused glare in Jin's direction, but his sister merely laughed, releasing him in the process, "Okay, okay, that's fair. Now, how about we get something warm to drink? It's too cold out here to properly talk. I think there's a cafe close by! Come on!"

Fuyumi began walking down the sidewalk, leaving the couple no choice but to follow. Kyoya smirked and leaned down to whisper in Jin's ear, " I think she likes you. "

* End Flashback *

Jin sighed and reclaimed her phone, "I asked her to stop doing that. Auto-correct my ass."

"I do believe I warned you that she'd be shoving wedding magazines into your mail after you two met."

"Yeah, but I'd personally prefer to have some time being a 'girlfriend' before I become someone's 'fiancée' or 'wife'."

The two continued on down the hallway, exchanging the pros and cons between dating and arranged marriages, without even a backwards glance at the twins. Kaoru tilted his head, "Hikaru?"

"Yeah?"

"Does this feel like Deja Vu to you?"

The older twin nodded, "This is exactly what happened when they first started dating. Think this is because of that crazy guy who showed up last week?"

"With our luck, yeah."

Behind them, the two heard a sigh, "Trust me, it was even worse back at home." Haruhi past them, drawing the twins along with her as they began walking to their own class, "Kyoya-senpai didn't leave until almost 9:30 last night. The two were cuddling and making out on our couch for almost an hour before he decided to leave so they could get some sleep before school. At least they have less PDA here. I can finally get a break."

"Yeah, except we're having a lunch meeting today to discuss next week's cosplay."

The brunette groaned, "Oh... wonderful."

* Time Skip *

"Kyo-chan! Kyo-chan, can I have some cake for lunch?"

The ravenet raised an eyebrow before flipping open his journal to one of the newer pages in the back. Honey tilted his head when he noticed something.

"Hey, Kyo-chan? Is that a new journal?"

"Yes, it is. My birthday present from Jin. She claimed that my old journal was falling apart and took it upon herself to replace it." He smiled softly at the paper in front of him, missing how his senpai nodded with his own smile. That was the whole reason Honey had noticed the change anyways. Kyoya's old journal had started to fray at the ends, the binding growing loose as he started replacing more and more pages. At least this new journal was a bit thicker, so he could wait a bit longer before needing to add in more paper.

And there was a slight indent in the back. A gold inscription... of a rose.

Honey thought it was super sweet.

The ravenet cleared his throat, "Now about your previous question, Honey-senpai. It looks-" He paused, head turning to watch his girlfriend walk away.

Honey stared at the couple, his head being forced to rotate between them as the distance increased. While Kyoya had been about to answer his question, Jin had walked into the room with Haruhi. The sisters began heading towards the large table the club would be eating at, which sent them right behind Kyoya as he flipped through his journal. With a cheeky smile, Jin had winked at Honey before pausing just behind Kyoya. She rose to her toes, placed her hands on his shoulders, and kissed the ravenet's cheek in greeting before retreating.

The two boys continued to stare after the taller brunette, who continued to talk to her sister as though nothing had happened. Eventually, though, Honey turned back to his friend, "Yeah, Kyo-chan?"

Kyoya continued to stare off to the side.

"Kyo-chan?"

Still nothing.

"Hey! Kyo-chan!" The small boy darted over and waved Usa-chan above his head, pushing his stuffed bunny into the 2nd-year student's line of sight.

Kyoya shook his head, "Yes, Honey-senpai? You were saying?"

The small boy sighed, glad to have reclaimed the ravenet's attention, "Can I have cake for lunch. Yes or no?"

"Oh. Of course. But please, only two slices today. We really can't afford any more for the rest of the week." He was given a happy nod before the small boy pranced his way to the kitchen, ready to help himself to those promised slices of cake. Once he was out of sight, Kyoya turned back to face Jin, who was now leaning her forearms on the back of Haruhi's chair, looking over her shoulder as they began bartering different pieces of their lunches.

Jin, however, soon realized she was being watched. She looked over at the boy and smiled, "I see you are very cute and very far away. Please come be cute closer to me."

Kyoya chuckled, letting his brand new journal fall shut in his hands before walking over. I'm fairly sure she just stole my line.

He reached the table and took a seat two chairs to the left of Haruhi. Jin quickly took the seat between them just as Honey-senpai ran back from the kitchen and hopped up into his own seat on the other side of the table. They were all accounted for.

As the eight began eating their various lunches, Tamaki smiled at them all from the head of the table, "Alright everyone! I have a surprise announcement."

The Fujioka's exchanged a glance.

Uh oh...

"For the past few days, I've been trying to decide between two different cosplay ideas. One would be the Harry Potter cosplay we've been sitting on for months now, and a 'Snow Day', for the first day of December next Friday. Originally, Kyoya and I agreed that we should hold off on the 'Snow Day' until the weather actually called for snow. But after thinking on it for a bit last night... I've decided that we should just do both!"

The blond grinned, his arms outstretched as if awaiting a hug for his brilliant idea. Instead, the black haired boy sitting on his right looked about ready to throw Tamaki, and then himself, out of the closest ten-story window.

"I see... and when were you going to tell me that you decided this?"

"Now. I wanted it to be a surprise!"

It was clear to everyone that Kyoya was trying to reign in his anger, stiffly pushing his glasses further up his nose, "Well, as you are the club's President, you do hold the final decision for everything, but I must reiterate... again ... that we simply cannot afford to hold both cosplays within the same week. As a brand new Harry Potter franchise has just come out," he cast the briefest of smiles towards his girlfriend, to which her sister huffed in mild frustration, "...acquiring professional 'Hogwarts' robes and additional props will be very expensive with their newly hiked prices. Yet, we still decided on that cosplay in particular because the guests have become rather restless waiting for it. As much as I hate to tell you, Tamaki, it simply cannot be done."

He closed his eyes with finality, glad to have withheld his desire to smack the blond's head until he finally understood what Kyoya had been telling him for days now. Because if he did, then the item he'd most likely use in said task would be his new journal. And he happened to like this one... very much so.

"Oh."

Kyoya's eyes reopened. He didn't like the way Tamaki said that.

"What?"

The blond looked a little grey as he hurriedly withdrew his arms back to his chest, "I... uh... I may have..."

"Tamaki... what did you do? "

"Eep..." Tamaki was definitely pale now, "I may have... already ordered them? "

The table went so quiet, the four responding gasps to Tamaki's confession sounded like a rocket launch. The two male 2nd years were frozen in place, staring at each other. One was experiencing ever consuming terror, while the other was mercifully still somewhat uncomprehending. Of course, that wouldn't last long, and the twins were already preparing their speeches for their idiot of a club president's funeral.

Until Jin huffed, "Well that wasn't smart of you, Tamaki." She placed a hand on Kyoya's stiffening shoulders and shook him a little, "We'll have to sell a couple of my drawings we were saving up, it seems, Glasses."

It was like watching a magic show. Kyoya went from 'Potential Homicidal Maniac' to 'Miracle Worker Boyfriend' in the space of an instant .

"Of course. I had been hoping to save those sales for a later date, but it doesn't seem avoidable now." The two 'accountants' bent themselves over the journal, flipping between two different pages as they switched to the language of numbers. Neither of them seemed to realize how everyone at the table was gaping at them. It was unclear to most of the witnesses whether they were more taken aback by Kyoya's lack of reaction or terrified of Jin's apparent magic powers. Tamaki especially. Never in the past two years of knowing the Ootori boy had he ever seen Kyoya just let someone off the hook like that... what was happening to him?

He must've thought that too soon, because just then Kyoya turned his eyes back to him. There was still the flame of anger burning within his gaze, but he didn't look like he wanted to kill Tamaki any longer... so that was good.

"Tamaki, I do hope you've learned your lesson. We'll be able to squeak by this time... with a few cut backs and a couple late nights, but should this happen again..."

Jin touched his shoulder again, using her other hand to lightly tap at yet another page within the journal.

The ravenet smiled, "You've read my mind, Darling." Turning back to the blond, the smile turned cold, "...should you ignore my warnings and neglect this club again... you will be joining the Fujioka's in the very important job of debt payback. "

Tamaki gulped, but nodded his head. Debt, he could handle. It was much better than decapitation at any rate. Even so, it took him a long while before he could join the rest of the club in eating lunch. He shifted his chair to the left a little bit, trying to put some distance between himself and his Vice President, but Kyoya didn't even seem to notice. He was too busy making further notes with Jin in his new journal, occasionally taking a break to stuff a piece of food in his mouth.

He and Jin weren't really paying much attention to which tray their chopsticks were stabbing into. And if Tamaki let himself, he could imagine Kyoya's anger somehow returning... and those chopsticks suddenly being dug into his arm.

But instead, Kyoya seemed to be relaxing further.

So... I'm a third wheel again? Maybe that's not such a bad thing.

"So what do you want to do for the free period today?" Tamaki lounged around in one of the many chairs scattered around the room. This was one of the few times they weren't going to open, due to a required meeting for all of the 3rd year students at school. Mostly college and university information, something the three second years could expect themselves the following year, but for now they were simply waiting in the club room with nowhere else to go. They hadn't heard from the other three yet, but they were expecting.

Jin shrugged, her hands carefully slipping one of her Hikaru and Kaoru drawings into a clear sleeve, "Well, I'm doing this. I want to get all of the drawings we're going to put up for auction into their sleeves now so I don't forget about it later. I think Kyo-kun's updating the site and putting the first drawing up for auction. Maybe you could head down to the library? Haru said she and the twins would be studying in one of them for a paper they were recently assigned..."

Tamaki hummed, thinking it over. As he did, Jin went back to her task, turning up the volume on the MP3 player resting on the table next to her hands. She had it on shuffle, and so far they had gone through 'Honey Honey' from Mamma Mia, 'Skyfall' by Adele, 'The Sound of Music Reprise' from The Sound of Music, and they were currently on a brand new piece he'd never heard of. It had a good beat. He liked it.

"What's this one called?"

"History Maker. By Dean Fujioka." Jin smiled over her shoulder as the song began to die out, "No relation."

That actually made Tamaki laugh. Perhaps it was in the name. Fujioka made you... special. His eyes fell on his best friend. Of course, I'm sure that having the last name of Ootori wouldn't change Jin all that much. Wait... what am I doing? I'm getting ahead of myself.

The next song started up. It took him a moment, but he did recognize it. 'In the Mood' by Glenn Miller, an instrumental piece. Jazz, actually. Jin had more than a few Jazz pieces thrown into her selection, this particular piece one of Tamaki's personal favorites. And apparently-

"May I have this dance?"

-one of Kyoya's, too.

Jin gave a look of mock surprise to her boyfriend before giving him a smile and taking his offered hand, "You may."

The two moved to a fairly empty portion of the floor, quickly falling into a peppy foxtrot like it was second nature. Jin was grinning as Kyoya lead her around and around, neither of them noticing as the blond they had been talking with slowly slipped out of the room, giving them an approving smile before silently shutting the doors behind him. Even as he did so, he could still faintly hear the music and Jin's laughter.

Yeah... being the third wheel isn't so bad. Now, Jin mentioned one of the libraries?

* Small Time Skip *

Still giggling madly, Jin let herself fall backwards onto one of the many couches in the room. She felt like her whole body was tingling as the next song began from her MP3. She couldn't remember the last time Kyoya had randomly surprised her with a dance like that. Of course, the same could be said for an actual dinner and movie date. This was nice. It almost made the whole Thomas debacle seem worth it.

The music cut out and Kyoya reappeared in front of her, her MP3 in his hands. She smiled and patted at the cushion on her right. He smirked, but sat down, handing the small device over to her as he did so.

Jin quickly placed it on the table in front of them and shuffled into Kyoya's lap, a happy noise escaping her throat in place of the giggles when he didn't even pretend to fight her. Instead, he wound his arms around her waist like he always did and pulled her more securely against his chest. The brunette smiled wider, leaning her head on his shoulder. Her eyes closed right before she felt a pair of soft lips press briefly against her brow.

They were gone just as fast, but the tiny kiss had subtly shifted the tension in the room. Enough, of course, to make Jin reopen her eyes from what might've been a promising cat nap before the last class of the day.

She nibbled at her bottom lip, trying to find the best way to start it out.

"You know, if anyone saw us right now, they'd probably never let you live it down."

"Hmm?" Kyoya made a small shift, his head falling backwards against the back of the couch. He might not be saying it out loud, but he was quite happy in this situation. Simply holding her close. It wasn't like he was comfortable with such physical contact from most anyone else. Seeing his sister so recently had reaffirmed that. Her hugs were nice and welcomed... but she wasn't Jin, either.

His right thumb slowly rubbed a small circle around her hipbone as he replied, "Saw us... what?"

"Cuddling."

She almost giggled again at the comical way the boy beneath her stiffened. Pulling her head away, Jin smiled innocently at Kyoya's expression.

"I'm not a cuddler... in the strictest definition."

Jin smirked and nuzzled his chest, bringing her hands up to rest on his collarbone, "Oh yeah? Then what do you call this?"

It took a few seconds for Kyoya to respond, but when he did, it was in the exact way Jin had hoped for.

"I... figured that it was a precursor for this. "

He tilted her chin up and kissed her deeply, their lips molding against each other's in a way they had grown so accustomed to over the past few months. Jin responded in turn, moving her arms up to wind around his neck. Kyoya hummed in appreciation, but not in surprise. This had been his goal the whole time. At least he was also gifted with the knowledge that he and Jin were on the same page.

Despite what some may think, the two weren't often gifted with alone alone time. Public dates were often the only time they could be together without being known by name, even if there was the odd occurrence of one of them being recognized. At school, they were surrounded, and there was very little chance of finding a secluded place that they could guarantee would remain secluded for long enough to enjoy it. And home? They had already agreed that Kyoya's home was... off limits, for the time being. And Jin's apartment was also off limits unless Haruhi or Ranka was with them. Last night when Haruhi had let them stay by themselves in the living room had been perhaps the first time in a month they were actually alone. And even then, there was someone else in the house. They had grown used to sharing their affection with each other while also in the public eye, but that didn't mean they didn't want for a little privacy every now and again.

But this, with two of their friends in an hour long meeting, three in a library all the way at the other end of the building, and the last one having just left to join them... unheard of.

The two parted. Jin's hands pressed against the back of the couch for support as she crawled off of Kyoya's lap... only to crawl back on, straddling him this time instead. She was rewarded with a look that made her weak in the knees before Kyoya's mouth fell to her neck. A gasp escaped without intention, quickly morphing into a soft whine.

"Y-you're getting too g-good at this... hey! "

Jin frowned when Kyoya pulled back, her left hand coming up to trace the path left on her skin. Most was just... a little wet, but at the still tingling spot just above her shirt's collar, she immediately felt them.

"Kyo-kun! Mmph-" she kissed him back for a moment before pushing at his chest, "Oh, no. Not this time. A bite mark? Really? I didn't even say anything bad! "

"Of course not." The smile he gave her was downright evil, "That's why it's a gift. Not a punishment."

Her eyes narrowed, so he softened his look, "And it'll fade before we even return to class. I didn't break the skin, it's simply an indent. I'm well aware of where I can, and cannot, mark you."

Jin's fingers traced the skin for another moment before she smiled, "You're gonna get yourself into trouble one day if you keep this up."

His only response was kissing her again, but she wasn't done.

"Wait, Kyoya... what if someone-"

"No one will come in. You know that as well as I do. If anyone would, it would be Haruhi, and I would hope she had learned her lesson from before..."

The two were suddenly locked in a staring contest, the possibilities of the moment returning full force. Jin's hands moved in tandem, drifting up the sides of her boyfriend's face until his glasses were lifted up off his nose. She folded them delicately in the small space still left between them, jumping a little when Kyoya's right hand came up to grab them. They were still for another moment before Kyoya leaned forward, recollecting Jin's lips with his own. She groaned in response, her freed hands coming up to grab his shoulders as he continued to lean. One arm went around her waist to help her not fall backwards off the couch.

There was the faint sound of metal and glass being set on a tabletop before Kyoya pulled them upright again.

At the sudden move, Jin's hands slipped from his shoulders, her arms winding around his neck instead. She hardly noticed, her arms tightening and shifting on autopilot now as she focused on the kiss. It was almost like a dream come true for her. For at least half of her life, she had been told that she was too ugly, too weird, or too uptight to ever get a boyfriend. And there had been days where she had thought the same. So now, as her boyfriend(!) began flicking tiny kitten licks across the seam of her lips, asking for entrance, she smiled, simultaneously letting him in.

She could still faintly taste the mint toothpaste he'd used after lunch, sure that he was thinking the same. Either way, they were both moaning softly and pulled each other closer, if that was possible.

Jin's right hand suddenly moved back down between their chests, her fingers playing with his tie. Above closed eyes, Kyoya raised his eyebrows, but he still reached up to cover Jin's hand with his own, loosening the strip of fabric on his own. She smiled against his lips, her hand now unbuttoning the top button of his white undershirt. In his head, Kyoya briefly wondered where Jin was going with this, but he couldn't really say he was bothered by it, either. She paused after each button, waiting for a reaction to tell her Kyoya was uncomfortable. There was nothing, but she still stopped at only the third one down.

Smirking, she pulled away, " Payback. "

"Mmm? Oh. " Kyoya gasped softly as a pair of lips tickle the skin beneath his jawbone. Lithe fingers were still teasing the white fabric over his chest, unhurriedly pulling at it until the opening was a little wider than before.

Jin continued to lick steadily downwards, not lingering too long in any particular spot as to not leave a mark. Their marking agreement went both ways. But, as it was...

" Ah! " Jin's lips curled into a smile before returning to the hollow just above Kyoya's collarbone. She heard his head fall backwards against the back of the couch yet again, muffled moans attempting to escape but not being allowed to. His hands are roaming around her back and sides, searching for purchase as she nibbles gingerly on his pale skin. Eventually he finds some, gripping tightly but not harshly at her left shoulder and the crook of her right knee.

She sucks harshly on the hollow, earning a groan that practically made Kyoya's whole chest vibrate with it's low volume. Pulling away with a dainty ' pop ', Jin admired her work. It wasn't the largest hickey she'd given him, approximately the size of an American quarter, but the reddish-purple hue stood out unmistakably against the surrounding pale skin. Easily hidden when wearing one of the many button down shirts Kyoya owned, but unable to ignore should he change in front of a mirror.

Good.

Fingers threaded through her brown locks and Jin found herself, once again, merely a hairs width away from her boyfriend's face.

" Now who's too good? "

She was granted one more dangerous smirk before they were back at it again, more demanding now than before. Kyoya's other hand slowly began creeping further up her thigh, pointer finger rubbing circles along the way. Their heartbeat's quickened, faces growing hot as Jin's hands dropped, fingers shakily tugging at jacket buttons, not really caring which jacket she was touching so long as one of the layers disappeared.

The doors creaked.

"Nēchan? Are you- EW! JESUS, AGAIN? "

The two 2nd years fly apart. Jin almost fell off the couch altogether, her hands wildly clutching at her boyfriend's shoulders while she attempted to find her balance on her own feet again. The couple stands up, trying to help each other balance while also standing a little bit apart. They stare in horror at Haruhi, who is waving her hands around her, looking for the door while her eyes remain tightly shut.

"H-Haru! I… W-we…"

"NOPE! NOT THINKING ABOUT IT! GOING AWAY NOW! GOODBYE!"

Haruhi stumbles out of the room, eyes still closed and face completely red. Kyoya and Jin look at each other, faces just as red and looking like they'd just stumbled through a wind-tunnel. Hair is mussed, shirts wrinkled, and lips are kiss swollen. Kyoya quickly buttons his shirt and jacket back up, Jin picking his glasses off the table. She meekly offers them to him as he straightens out his tie the best he can. She blushes harder when she realizes how messy his hair looks, realizing her probably looks worse. She frantically starts to comb her fingers though it.

"So... Haru's learned her lesson, hm?"

Kyoya lets out a weak chuckle, "Perhaps I put too much faith into your sister's social intelligent."

"Yeah, I think you did." The two smile at each other before Jin starts laughing, her hands falling from her still knotted hair, "Well... you can't get much more third wheel than that!"

"No, I suppose you cannot. Though, Tamaki had already claimed the title as our third wheel."

"Possibly the entire Host Club is a collection of third wheels."

Kyoya smiles gently, cupping his girlfriend's cheek to press another sweet kiss to her mouth, "We only have a few more minutes until class starts. I have a spare comb in my bag that we could probably put to good use."

"Did you... expect this to happen?"

"I expect everything and anything to happen, which I why I'm always prepared."

"I have a feeling that is a majorly doctored line from 'The Princess Bride'. How did you know that was my favorite movie?"

"...from what?"

Jin stares at the ravenet in shock for a few moments. Then she grabs his hand and starts walking towards his bag, "Movie night. This weekend. No arguments." She's so focused on making plans in her head, that she missed the soft expression on the boy she was hand in hand with.

As you wish.
