Chapter one
TAMAKI'S EYES
Tamaki sat in his usual spot in the host club, surrounded by beautiful girls. And yet, He wasn't happy. He had found his gaze seemed to keep wondering to Kaoru.
Yes. Tamaki, the womanizer, the flirtatious Narcissist was getting that tug that every man gets at one stage in their life to explore new places (in other words to explore the homosexual side of himself). He had been trying to push away this feeling for some time now, but it had only gotten harder lately as he found himself more often staring in Kaoru's direction and that it was beginning to get harder to pull himself away. They (meaning Hikaru and Kaoru) were having another brotherly love scene.
'Stupid Hikaru.' Tamaki thought 'His hands are constantly on Kaoru. I wonder what it would be like to walk in Hikaru's shoes for a while….'
Tamaki stopped and blushed at the thought. After the scene was over Kaoru's head slowly turned to face Mori.
'What?! Mori?' Tamaki saw red 'Why Him? Why not me? I'm Handsome, troublesome, a real devil, and I've got a dark past. I'm practically perfect for romance. So why would he choose him over me?'
Kaoru looked over at him with a look that told Tamaki that Kaoru knew he had been staring at him.
Tamaki swiveled around to face the girls, trying to hide his red face. They were all silently staring at him with curious expressions on their faces.
KYOYA'S EYES
Kyoya glared viciously at Mori as he sat in his dark hiding spot (a table in the darkest possible corner of the room where he would write stuff in his little back book of evil.).
'Why him?' Kyoya thought, Anger bubbling up inside him, 'What does Kaoru see in that guy that he doesn't see in me? Why would Kaoru like him? Is it because he's so silent and mysterious? I can be silent and mysterious too. That's it! That's how I'll win his heart! I'll become more mysterious.' (this does not happen)
Kyoya was calm once more after thinking this, so he decided to return to the real world where three beautiful ladies were awaiting his assistance. He walked calmly towards them. And took them to their requested hosts, went back to his table in the corner and worked.
KAORU'S EYES
'Hmmm..' thought Kaoru, staring intently at Mori 'Mori-senpai is always so quiet. I wonder what goes on in that head of his.'
"Kaoru. Why are you staring at Mori-senpai like that?" A voice interrupted his thoughts. It was Hikaru's.
"Huh? Oh. I was just thinking about how he's always so quiet, He never really expresses himself properly. I mean he must get angry or sad or frustrated sometimes. Right?"
"You have a very good point Kaoru-kun." Said Aimee from across the table taking a sip of her honey and lemon tea. Sara finished her sentence for her.
"Hmm…" He must be very troubled. "Do you guys think that Honey-senpai beats him?"
Everyone was horrified at the thought. There was an uncomfortable silence and Kaoru wished he hadn't brung up the subject.
He was thinking about possible ways to break the ice, when Kyoya came to tell them that it was time to change clients. Kaoru smiled gratefully up at Kyoya and Kyoya smiled back to tell him that it was fine. This made Kaoru rather suspicious. Kyoya was never that nice unless he wanted something.
'But what could he want from me?' Kaoru pondered the question a little longer then, accepted the fact that he could not think of the answer, gave up and returned to the real world.
KYOYA'S EYES
Everyone was sort of bored after the host club activities were over. There was just nothing to do. Except clean up (the only activity that NO-ONE was willing to do).
Kyoya sat in his dark corner with Kaoru. They were discussing some of the many things that Kyoya wrote in his little black book (of evil).
"Oh I see," said Kaoru his face reveling much interest in Kyoya's work "So you really have three books for completely different things but because they look the same and you only have one out at a time, people keep making the same mistake in thinking that you only have one. Right?"
"Why yes, that's correct," Kyoya said a look of absolute delight on his face from finding that Kaoru took so much interest in what he did. "But, the subjects aren't that different from one another," he continued "In one I write all the appointments everyone has,"
Kaoru subconsciously leaned further towards Kyoya as he continued. Kyoya took a deep breath. Kaoru looked ten times cuter up close.
"What about the other two?" He asked his face was only about 15 centimeters (around 7 inches….I think) away from Kyoya's now forcing Kyoya to lean backwards slightly. "What're in them?"
'jeez' thought Kyoya 'there must be something wrong with him. Doesn't he know about personal space'
"Huh? Oh, well one of the other two I use for calculating the price of things and for dates of important events and for the other one I…"
Kyoya stopped himself in his tracks, trying to hide his red face. He had nearly confessed his big secret. He wrote deep fictional romances.
Kaoru had obviously gotten slightly concerned as his face was only about 10 centimeters away. Kyoya tried to look away until he felt a gentle hand under his chin slowly turning his head so that he was looking Kaoru directly in the eyes.
"What is it?" Kaoru murmured softly. He had obviously learned a thing or two from Hikaru. Kyoya's face went bright red.
"I…er…nothing…forget it" Kyoya stuttered unable to believe what was happening to him.
"Kyoya?" Kaoru was slightly concerned at this point, "Is every thing alright?"
'Why is he so concerned about me?' Kyoya thought 'And for another thing why am I so nervous? I've got his attention. I should use this to my advantage. Right?'
Kaoru was so close at this point that Kyoya could have kissed him.
"Umm…Kaoru could you please move back a bit? This is kind of awkward…"
"Oh. Sorry." Blushing furiously Kaoru slowly retreated to his original position on his own chair.
TAMAKI'S EYES
'WHAT?!!' Tamaki thought, as he peered over his own chair at the unlikely couple. 'First Mori, now Kyoya what about ME? C'mon Kaoru stop messing around with the shadow lord, come to the bright side of the world. Come to me… What are they talking about?
"Tama-chan," A voice broke through Tamaki's thoughts "Why are you staring at Kao-chan and Kyo-chan like that. Are you jealous of Kyo-chan because he got to Kao-chan before you?"
Tamaki looked up at the short, cute figure of Mitskuni
"Huh? No! Of course not. I'm merely making sure that Kyoya is a good suitor for Kaoru."
"Why? Why not let fate decide?" It was Mori's voice this time.
Everyone stared open mouthed at Mori. He rarely spoke so much.
"You make a very good point Takashi," Mitskuni said after recovering from the shock. He turned to Tamaki. "So it's settled, we'll let fate decide. That way Tama-chan won't have to worry about Kyo-chan and Kao-chan anymore."
KAORU'S EYES
"Really? I didn't know you wrote that sort of stuff Kyoya-senpai." Kaoru said smiling happily in Kyoya's direction.
"Neither does anyone else." Kyoya said as if it were no big deal. "Not even my parents." He smiled casually at Kaoru.
'Wow...not even his parents? He must really trust me' Kaoru thought.
"Can I read it senpai?" Kaoru asked hoping the answer would be a yes.
Kyoya raised an eyebrow. "You really want to read it? I didn't know you liked romance."
"Yeah. I find romance to be sweet. But don't let Hikaru-kun know. He'll never let me here the end of it."
"Okay, but I haven't written much," He handed the book over to Kaoru "Do you think you'll be able to finish it by this weekend?"
"Yes, Why?" Kaoru asked
"Good. Then you can drop it off to me on Sunday. 'Kay?"
"O-kay" Kaoru said. He looked down at his watch (he has one now).
"Oh s*** I'm late." Kaoru muttered "Sorry if this inconvenient for you senpai but I gotta go. Hikaru-kun's waiting for me. Bye!"
"Oh…Bye Kaoru-kun!"
'He called me Kaoru-kun. Does that mean that we're closer now?
I should hope so. I've liked him for almost a year now…..'
KYOYA'S EYES
'Oh s*** I called him Kaoru-kun… But why didn't he correct me on that? Does that mean that we're closer now? I should hope so I've liked him for almost a year now….'
