Feeling her cuddling up closer to him, he stopped his restless shifting and the pink on his cheeks faded slightly. He collected himself, relaxing the slightest bit as he turned his head to face her. One of his arms slowly drew up to wrap carefully around her shoulder, holding her there gently, hoping to offer some sort of comfort as she replied. Thankfully enough she didn't seem to be mad in the slightest sense, a relief on his part. If nothing else, she didn't dislike him for his efforts. Now if only his efforts would work to their advantage. He would sigh softly as she finished speaking, then nod, "I will as well."

Her open comment about Demitri was a bit of a surprise to him, but it restored his confidence fully. Something about his mention made his body tense in response, the hand he had looped loosely around her becoming more firm, though not as to make her uncomfortable. In a sense it could be seen as his being protective though his facial expression became passive once more-- still, determination shone in his gaze as he looked directly at her. "I'll take care of you, don't fret about that fool," he murmured, leaning slowly in to plant a firm kiss along the side of her face before sending a slight grin in her direction.

She caught his grin and it eased her quiet a bit. The way he said with such certainty that he'd take care of her. The firmness of his hold on her. The kiss on the side of her face. All of it made her feel safer than she had earlier. She closed her eyes. How lucky she had been to meet Kyoya. How kind he had been to her. She grinned as her fingers curled around his and then opened her eyes to look up at him. "I trust you." She said. "I don't think you'd let some creep hurt any girl." She added.

Then her pocket buzzed. Her cellphone was getting a call. She pulled it out and answered it, then frowned and hung up. "He got my cellphone number somehow..." She said flatly, not looking pleased at all by this revelation. Soon the phone was ringing again and again.

Seeing her relax eased Kyoya's mind even more, the feeling of her fingers around his hand comforting in a way that he couldn't quite describe. even if he were the one trying to save her, it seemed as if mentally she kept him anchored. What she said was sweet, and he didn't doubt them due to his years tending to women as a host, yet what struck him was the idea that she trusted him. A smile lit his face, and he looked into her eyes steadily, "I'm glad that you do."

The smile drawn across his face faded, however, when he heard that Demitrti now had her phone number. Sighing, he then grinned, moving to withdraw her phone from her pocket. Casually, he slipped out its battery. Then moving to his own pocket, he would hand her his cell phone. "Here. I'll have a new one for you tomorrow," he spoke casually, setting her cell phone and it's battery down on the coffee table just in case she truly didn't like that idea-- by now, he suspected that she wouldn't care all that much.

She flushed as he took the reigns on the situation and took her phone, pulling the batteries out. Teagan rubbed the back of her head. "Ah, that's really sweet of you." She said softly as she leaned over to get her cup of tea. "But I'll pay you back, I promise." She was the type who felt that every favor one did for her must be repaid as promptly as possible.

Kyoya looked over at her curiously, finding it cute that her face seemed to flush some with his words. What he also didn't fail to notice was her hand rising to the back of her head, and the endearing notion of repaying him. Payment was something he usually encouraged, pushed for really, with others. Yet he saw no need here, especially not with Teagan. "Ah, it's no problem, don't worry yourself with it," he spoke casually, then taking a sip of the tea he held in the cup in front of him.

Then quieting for a moment, his mood sobering a bit, his gaze would draw off to look into his cup thoughtfully. "When do you plan on leaving?" he asked somewhat hesitantly, as if his thoughts were distracted. He didn't like the thought of her going to France. He especially didn't like the idea of her going to France and not coming back, or worse, coming back with a husband. "I'd like to take you to the airport at the very least..." he added in a lower voice after a moment.

She sighed at the mention of when she would go. "I'll be leaving about 9 pm for my flight. I ordered my tickets while I was making the tea." She said as fiddled with her thumbs. "I've never been in a situation where I was afraid of what would happen when I went back home." She said as she used her hand to comb her hair out of her face. "Kyoya, I hope I can come back after this. I wanna see you again... In fact, I promise to come home and then we'll go out, just the two of us." She was making that promise, simply because she NEVER broke a promise, so she hoped her ability to keep them carried over to this.

As surprised as he was to hear that she had already ordered the tickets, Kyoya's mind tugged harder at him at the thought of her leaving so soon. And for who knew how long? His gaze fell once more to the coffee table, staring into his cup in a passive manner as she spoke. Afterwards, he rubbed the back of his neck for a moment before turning his head to face her again. Again his face was serious, but something about it warmed up a bit after a moment of looking a her steadily. Then letting out a soft sigh, he would grin and nod in her direction, "I swear it'll be so," he then replied with confidence. This was when he quieted, suddenly aware of how close she was to him, their hands' entanglement, how her eyes seemed to draw his gaze. After a moment of hesitation, he moved in closer to her slowly, tilting his head just the slightest bit as he pressed his lips to hers in a gentle and slow fashion. Unless she moved to make him act otherwise, he would linger there for a moment to make the kiss longer than their last before pulling away slowly with a smile. The girl in front of him was entrancing in a way that he could never attribute to another girl-- it was unusual and yet the most refreshing feeling he had yet to experience.

She was a bit taken aback by his kiss, but not in any way that was bad. In fact, after the initial seconds of surprise, she kissed him back, just as sweetly as he had kissed. When he pulled away, she was painted the same rosy tint as new cherry blossoms, and she was smiling widely. "I most definitely will be coming back." She said, determinedly. "After all, there are many more kisses to be had, and I can't have some other girl here receiving them!" She declared. She was doing her best to keep the mood light. She did not want to spend her last bit of time with him for a while, being sad. "Kyoya, I... I've never felt like this before. I've never cared for a male like I do about you, and it's only been such a short time." She said softly. "I don't want to lose this, so no matter what, I will be back."

Admittedly, the kiss caused a flush similar to hers to appear on Kyoya's face, though thoroughly less noticeable. Her words only made the smile upon his face grow as he nodded along with them, glancing down at her hand in his as his fingers curled around hers again. Though her words were meant lightly, and he received them so, there was also an inkling in the back of his mind. If it weren't for Teagah, he wouldn't be kissing anyone, and would have no reason to. "No one else will, I assure you," he replied whole-heatedly, the smile upon his face warm to keep up the mood though his words were to be taken seriously as well. He was touched to hear her feelings said aloud, his gaze now shyly dropping once to study their hands though he kept himself composed this time. When she stopped speaking, he would look up at her with a fondness he never showed to anyone else, though it was on rare occasions present in some of his actions with his friends. "We won't lose this, I promise you," he assured her, his hand squeezing hers lightly for a moment for emphasis. "I feel similarly... Teagan, I'm enchanted by you, I've never cared so much or been so open towards a girl." he admitted, grinning. "If you need my help while you're there, just call me. I'll be there in a heartbeat," he then added, hoping to cure any worries the both of them might still have. The mood was warming up, and he wanted to make sure it remained those way.

However, the peace of their moment was not to last. Tamaki would see to that. Soon, the Hosts came barreling into the upstairs part of the suite, all looking frantic. "Don't worry, Kyoya, Teagan-chan! I'll save you from that awful kidnapper Dem- Huh? Wait... You two haven't been kidnapped?"

Teagan just blinked as Haruhi walked in, scratching her head. "Ne, Tamaki-sempai, I told you that just because they didn't answer their phones didn't mean they had been kidnapped..." The twins strolled in after, followed by Mori and Honey. Kaoru and Hikaru snickered. "Well well," Said one twin. "You two are awful cozy together." The other finished, both looking teasingly at Kyoya.

Kyoya would stiffen in place as the hosts burst on in, then sigh a moment later as he relaxed once more. He didn't let go of her hand, still holding it firmly within his own slender fingers as he turned his head to face them. "It appears we haven't, Tamaki," he replied casually, grinning though he felt just the slightest irritation at the intrusion. Still, they were the other hosts-- they all intruded in on each other's personal lives. What else did had he been expecting of his friends?

The twins' comment sent his gaze over to her slowly, almost shyly, though nothing aside from the look in his eyes would hint at this. He responded as would be expected of him, though, slyly and without losing a tad of his composure. "Yes, and you two appear to be a bit too comfortable yourselves," the humorous dryness of his tone was enough to cause shivers to roll down the Hitachiins' backs, though they knew he was merely kidding. Or was he? They knew Kyoya wouldn't dare actually do anything sinister, but he could be a manipulative man that found revenge easily. "Oi, Oi, this was all his idea!" one backed them up defensively, their hands up in a cautious manner as they glanced over at Tamaki slyly. Kyoya would watch, only having been expecting such as he regarded his best friend standing there. This was when the most naive of the group, their blonde leader, finally seemed to notice something. Their hands holding each other.

Curiously, the man bent forward, staring blankly at them for a moment. "We're interrupting!" he suddenly then declared dramatically, as of insulted with his own actions.

Kyoya looked on up at him curiously, shrugging slightly. "It's of no matter, we were simply talking."

Having Tamaki examine their closeness like that made Teagan ten different levels of shy. After he backed up, she buried her face against Kyoya's shoulder, blushing vividly. Honey caught on to that immediately. "Aw, Tea-chan, don't be shy! It's okay if you're Kyoya-kun's girlfriend! Granted, I'm a little bit jealous, but it's okay as long as you'll still eat cake with me!"

Teagan looked at them with eyes wide. "G-Girlfriend?" She managed. It wasn't as though she disliked the idea, but she wasn't sure if that was what they were. She wasn't sure how the technicalities went with this sort of thing.

The twins ended up behind the couch. "So you made it official then, Kyoya? Good job!" They assumed and chimed in unison as they both patted his back. It seems they'd forgotten Kyoya's looks for just moments prior.

Haruhi just rubbed the back of her head and didn't say much. This boys were all insane. She looked to Tamaki and made the biggest mistake ever. "Tamaki-sempai, do something." She meant something to get everyone off of the pair's case, but she didn't specify.

Her shyness was sweet and not altogether unexpected in Kyoya's point of view, but there came a certain point where he too became shy. That would be when Honey casually dropped the word 'girlfriend'. Kyoya hadn't made anything official- he had just figured things out today, how was he supposed to have acted on them? Even so, she was going to leaving leaving soon and here he went thinking un rationally again. He hesitantly looked up at the others for a moment, taken aback by their assumptions though he truly should have expected such from them.

Tamaki took Haruhi's words as encouragement to celebrate the new 'couple', and whipped out a small digital camera from within one of his uniform pockets. "Yes, you're right! This calls for documentation!" he declared boldly, running over to place the camera to set it up for a timed picture before running back on over to the couch enthusiastically and pulling everybody on in for a picture. Kyoya would grin, shaking his head a bit at their friends and their shenanigans. They weren't dating, we're they? If so, he didn't see any harm in that. I not, he supposed he would strive to make some officially in that.

So the picture came out with Haruhi facepalming, the twins bunny-earing Teagan and Kyoya, Honey all comfortable in Teagan's lap, Tamaki hanging off of Haruhi's shoulder, Mori standing over them all, stoic and cool, and Teagan glowing a tomato sort of red in the face. When the picture was taken the chaos began again. "So, Tamaki, does this mean that mommy is cheating on you?" Teased Hikaru.

Oddly enough, Kyoya remained somewhat neutral for the picture. His gaze was drawn in Teagan's direction naturally, a grin on his face, his composure that of the norm for him. Upon seeing the picture on the screen as Tamaki waved int about, showing it off, he would chuckle softly. The whole lot were certainly something. As the question came up between the mommy/daddy scenario, Kyoya would shrug slightly, "Perhaps Daddy and I were never together."

Kaoru liked this idea, the grin upon his face sly as he chided, "So it's a split-household?" His twin seemed to catch on and countered that, "If so, I'm siding with Mommy." Both twins practically snickered amongst themselves as Tamaki took a moment to mope about himself for Kyoya would speak to him. "Tamaki, send me a copy of that please?" he asked casually, looking over at the seemingly depressed blonde.

Surely enough, Tamaki would perk back up and nod enthusiastically. "Of course! You two can rememberd this day for the rest of your lives, and your children..." he ranted, leaving Kyoya to again shake his head slightly before his gaze drifted over to Teagan.

"Chi-children?!" Teagan coughed, getting redder by the second. "B-but isn't it a bit too soon for that?" She managed, looking down to hide the immense blush as she pressed her fingers together. Haruhi laughed. "Ah, don't worry about that." She comforted. "Tamaki-sempai was just joking..." She pushed her elbow into Tamaki's ribs. "Right, sempai?" She said with a look that warned to quit teasing Teagan.

Kyoya would smile to himself at Teagan's reaction to Tamaki, who was making far too many assumptions. "Of course it is far too soon for any talk like that," he added to Haruhi's point. Then admitting, if a bit shyly, "I've yet to attempt making anything official, if you must know." Tamaki would stop his rant at this notion, facial expression blank as he stared at the two oddly. "Why not?"

The twins chimed in in unison, "What's taking ya?" The two seated themselves besides Kyoya, end leaning on the other as they looked at him oddly. Their glances were almost scrutinizing, as if they all secretly thought he must be lying about not actually making it official. Yet, his gaze moved to Teagan, where it softened a bit. "Tamaki simply got carried away, no need for worry," he explained simply.

Teagan rested her head on Kyoya's shoulder. After all of the excitement, she was starting to get a bit worn out. "I see..." She said with a grin as she let herself calm down. "M-Maybe I should leave for France tomorrow instead..." She said with a yawn. At this, Honey's eyes went wide. "You're leaving?! For France? Tea-chan, why?! I thought you and Kyoya were gonna be together? Are you going to marry that creepy blonde french guy who's not Tamaki?!" Leave it to Honey to misunderstand. Teagan shook her head profusely. "You misunderstand, Honey-sempai."

Feeling her resting her head against his shoulder, Kyoya would glance over at Teagan with a grin. He realized just how sleepy she must be growing as she yawned, then feeling a bit bad for prolonging the visit of himself and his fellow hosts. "In that case, perhaps it would be better for us to leave Teagn for the night," he suggested, looking over his friends. "You're tired, aren't you?" he then asked her with a small, knowing smile. The twins 'awed', but complied along with a more hesitant Tamaki. As the other hosts filed out, Kyoya would remain for a moment, turning his head to plant a gentle kiss on one of her cheeks. "Do you want me to accompany you?" he asked in a voice just louder than a whisper, seriousness on his face though he was somewhat hesitant about the question, he didn't wish to be intruding, yet it was only natural for him to wish to protect her, or aid her in any way he could.

She smiled as she curled up a bit. "No, it's okay. The club would be lost without you, and I really don't think you deserve to be subjected to my father in all of his angry, old, french glory." She joked lightly. "I really appreciate it, but I'd hate to take you away from all you do for the others." She added as she stood, then hugged him. Still coy and shy she moved a bit closer and kissed him gently. "I'll be gone for just a week if I have my way."

Little did they know that the twins were still peaking through the door, snickering at how one girl had managed to totally turn their friend on his head with just her presence.

Kyoya would nod in understanding, this being the case for why he hadn't asked earlier. He'd been expecting the same reply, or something of a similar sort. He grinned down at her, returning the kiss with the same gentleness that she and used before sending a small smile in her direction. While he already knew she would be missed if she was gone for even just a week, he still saw some ray of sunshine in all of this. The kiss also worked to lighten his mood as he wrapped his arms around her as they stood. "Be careful," he would reply simply, then looking down at her for a moment before letting out a soft sigh, "Well, let me know if you need anything while you are there, or if Demitri tries anything obnoxious."

She nodded. "I will. I promise. And I'll check in with you at least once a day." She added. "Even if it's just an email or something, I'll make sure you know that things are fine." She added as she rested against him before stepping back. "Well, I'll miss you, and I'll see you soon... I need to pack and then get some sleep before hell rains down upon my head." She joked with a bit of a grin. She was much more light-hearted than she had been before.

Kyoya relaxed a bit as she let him know that she would be checking in, so although she was out of reach she could always get a hold of him if necessary. He would nod in understanding, then grin and step back a bit as well. "Alright. I'll miss you too, Teagan. Hurry on back," he spoke in reply, an odd feeling tugging at his gut. Even when his father went away on business, he didn't say such to him nor his brothers. The hosts were a bit closer, but they didn't say such either, really, though it was implied. With Teagan this was different. He already knew he would miss her presence, and found himself worrying over her already. "Let me know when your return flight is and Ill come pick you up from the airport if you'd like. See you soon," he gently grabbed one of her hands for a moment, squeezing it lightly within one of his before grinning and heading over to the door.

And so, they parted ways for that night. She packed up, ate a light meal, then crashed. Demitri managed to get her home phone number so she unplugged the wall unit, and then slept until 6 the next morning. Not much after she awoke and got cleaned up, she find herself at the airport. She had some time before her flight, so she bought a new phone, and sent a text to Kyoya, telling him that this was her new phone number, and that she'd talk to him as soon as she could. Then she boarded a plane, heading for France.

Later on that morning, the Hosts began to show up at the 3rd Music Room. They all went about their business quietly, until Honey realized that there were no fresh sweets from Teagan. "What are we gonna do, Kyoooooya?!" He asked, panicking.

Kyoya walked home for the hell of it, wanting to get some leftover thoughts off of his mind before he hit the books at home. He spent the night studying, working out the finances of both the Host club and his own personal company, but thoughts of Teagan danced around in his mind. He went to bed somewhat early, the only thoughts occurring to him as he lay there being if he and Teagan were now to be considered an item of sorts, or whether he should strive to make it official. He was entirely new to things of the sort, so he was having some problems workings them out.

The next day at school he arrived early, as per usually, and set up alone before sparing a good half hour to do some work. It was odd to not have someone to talk to in the mornings. Yet, he heard a small trill form his phone, and seeing it was Tagan, flipped it open to reveal the text message. Grinning to himself, he would reply by telling her he understood and hoped she had a good flight out. Then slipping his phone away, he would sit there quietly untilt he other hosts arrived.

As Hney became visibly distressed, Kyoya grinned to himself, then moving to a table near the back of the room and producing a box. "I realized we'd be a bit short on sweets, so I stopped by a bakery on the way hear, I recognize it may not be as good...." he explained, handing over the box to Mori casually-- giving cake directly to Hnry was never a good idea. It was when Tamaki entered, however, that Kyoya did something unusual. "Tamaki, I want to ask you a favor," he spoke lowly, the face of the blonde lighting up right away.
