Chapter 16: Telling The Hosts
AN: Sorry this is kind of short. I am using this as a transition into the next chapter that is already halfway written. Please be patient and enjoy! :)
—————
Things had gotten better between Kyoya and Camille since the day in the club room kitchen. If anything, people were starting to be more suspicious of a connection between the two as more than friends. If they were to ask, both of them would respond with a smirk and no words uttered about the matter. All the girls were either stewing about it, Kyoya's fangirls, or squealing about how cute it was, everyone else who was not Kyoya's fangirls.
Camille had taken to ignoring Tamaki when he would try to be close to her. She was constantly bringing up that he should spend time with his girlfriend rather than with her. This brought up more questions, but for Tamaki, as to who the lucky lady was since it was not Camille. He could not give out that information without letting Haruhi's secret be known and had spun himself into a web of stress. Camille supposed it was partially her fault, but Kyoya explained that it was bound to happen at some time and that she should not worry about it.
Time was passing by at a rapid pace and Camille was growing more anxious about her time ending in Japan. Kyoya had said that she should go along with her parents' plans, but he had a plan of his own. His look when he had spoken of his plan had given her chills and stopped her from retaliating against him when he told her to just go with her parents' plan. He could be very creepy when he wanted to be, but she had no doubt that his plan would be a solid one. Whatever that plan was.
They were currently sitting in the club room after activities had been wrapped up for the day. This was the day that she would finally be telling the rest of the host club what was happening because their break started the day after tomorrow. Her stomach was tied in knots at the thought of telling them, but Kyoya assured her that it would be alright.
As they gathered at the large table with their tea cups and confused faces, Camille let out a sigh. Her shaking hands set her tea cup down as she shot one last worried glance over at Kyoya. He gave her a reassuring nod before she turned to the rest of them and opened her mouth. Before she could utter a word, she was interrupted.
"Please don't tell me it's true!?!" One of the twins screeched with a flabbergasted look on his face.
"If it's true then I will surely cry." The other one, Kaoru, screeched right after.
Camille groaned and rubbed her temples as they continued to talk back and forward while the others, except Kyoya and Mori, started to chime in. She was never going to get a word in if they kept this up. Her hands clenched as she brought them down to her lap and finally yelled at them,"Would you guys shut up!?" This seemed to scare them all because she rarely yelled.
Once they were all quiet, she began again. "I have important news to tell you. It regards my time spent here and what my future holds." She could practically hear everyone as they inhaled and held their breaths. "My parents have told me they want me to come home. Upon coming home, I will be staying home and returning to my old school. While finishing school there, I will begin to review candidates for engagement and the choice will be made my last semester of school. After graduation, I will be married and likely go wherever my husband wishes while I take over the company my father owns. This normally would have been my brother's position, but it has fallen to me now."
It was quiet for a few moments before everyone, except Kyoya once again, started freaking out once more for a totally different reason. Mori even looked mildly worried at the news. She opened her eyes after a few moments and held up her hands. "Questions will be asked one at a time and we will go around the table. Obviously I have explaining to do."
Honey was the first to pipe up through his tears while holding Usa-chan in a grip hard enough to make her worry that the bunny's head would be severed from it's shoulders. "Are you really going to leave?! Can't you stay?"
Camille smiled sadly and shook her head,"Yes, I am leaving. I have known about this for a couple of months now and do not see any way around it."
Haruhi surprisingly asked the next question,"Why don't you just refuse and stay here?"
"I already brought that up. My parents said they would cut me off and I would have no way of saving up enough expenses to cover me living where I am now. I wouldn't want to move in with anyone or move out of the place I'm at now. It's not an option for me to refuse." She stated calmly, a small tear trailing down her cheek. Everything was quiet as everyone tried to sort through their emotions and questions. Nobody was sure what to ask next.
A hand reached up to brush away the tears streaming down her face and when her red-brown eyes opened, Camille was met with Kyoya kneeling down in front of her. He was smiling slightly as he wiped away her tears before he offered her a handkerchief to wipe away her remaining tears. As he stood up, he turned to them all,"I have a plan, but I'm not going to say anything about it yet. I wouldn't want news to spread and it be ruined. Though I know it will work if everything falls into place." She found herself smiling sadly once more as she wiped away her tears.
