Hello everyone, Nimash here. I've recently gone back to school, and all the creativity has been drained from me. So, in the hopes that it might inspire me, I have decided to try my hand at a 100 Themes Challenge, using TamakixAyame. I'm really killing several birds with one stone, as I help spread the word of this couple, spark my inspiration, try something new, and work on my oneshots.

If you are unaware of who Ayame is, I highly suggest you read the Ayame arc in the anime, as she has around a grand total of ten seconds of a cameo appearance in the anime.

The rules? Here they are:

1) One shots only. They can't be related to each other.

2) I must focus on the theme given to me and only that theme.

3) I have to go in order.

4) Only TamakixAyame, allowing other characters to make appearances, but not be the main focus.

5) Rating and length will vary, although for the most part the rating should stick to K+. The POV will switch between Tamaki, Ayame, and third person.

Introductions

"You have such straight and beautiful hair."

"No… It's just…"

"I bet your heart is just as lovely and true as your hair."

She didn't giggle or squeal, nor melt into his violet eyes. Instead, she instantly turned away, a chilling sensation taking over her body. Was this Tamaki Suoh guy for real?

Ayame sneaked a quick look at him as he turned to look at her, giving her a warm smile. She felt the light blush on her cheek slowly grow warmer. Perhaps he was just a princely character…

Only five minutes later, and the classroom was filled with squeals and blushes, compliments flying around the room like common houseflies, including, but not limited to: "Your eyes are so beautiful. I bet your heart is just as lovely and true as your eyes." "What amazing skin. I bet you heart is just as lovely and true as your skin." And so on and so forth.

Now she knew he couldn't have been genuine. But he was from abroad, so she might as well give him benefit of the doubt and say that he didn't know many other Japanese words. In fact, he was probably a complete idiot.

She stared at the class rankings from the exam, anger slowly boiling insider of her. "Impossible," Ayame hissed to herself. How could that idiot beat her and take her place as second in the class? She gritted her teeth as she listened to the girls giggle and fawn over Tamaki, as he "humbly" told them that, quote: "Um… I don't know… All I do is study like everyone else. But I will say this… It might mean that, at times, the heavens grant a person two or three gifts."

Ayame's head snapped towards the boy as she thought harshly, staring daggers into the back of his head, Go back to the heavens! Vanish this instant! She tried to calm herself, believing that it was a simple fluke, no reason to panic.

But time and time again, Tamaki beat her. He didn't pull all-nighters, and he was even part of a club, giving him less time to study. How in the world did he do it...

She hated him. She really, really did. But of course, first impressions are not always entirely accurate, as she would come to learn…

Disclaimer: I don't own OHSHC.

So, this whole challenge was inspired by Mimi-dudette's wonderful fantabuloushouslisticness (yes, that's a word) one shot called "A War of Words". Check it out, it's amazing!

What did you think? This is my first story that the twins aren't the main focus (just like Mimi's, ironically enough) and I feel a tad bad about it. I'm sorry! D: -glomps twins- I swear I will make sure you appear at least once! No, five times! Minimum!

Sorry if it was a bit short, but I had to get this out there. As always, read and enjoy! The next theme is... Complicated.
