Attraction.
What he felt.
Tamaki.
The thoughts were scrambled in the Ootori boy's mind.
Kyoya knew it was wrong.
He knew Tamaki was attracted to females, not males.
He just couldn't help but be attracted to the blonde. The goofy, sarcastic, protective, handsome blond, the one that created the Host Club, the one that made his life brighter than he had ever thought it could be.
And Haruhi knew it.
He didn't know how she knew. She just did.
She tried to help, but nothing that she did helped him.
It just hurt.
Then, she moved.
Moved to the other side of the world.
Tamaki was heartbroken.
Kyoya had to comfort him, being his best friend and all.
He held open his arms, only to have the blond jump into them.
It felt so right to Kyoya.
He backed onto the blond's bed, his arms still wrapped around the other. He gently ran his fingers through his hair.
The blond was close to tears.
"Go ahead. Let it out."
And so, the blond did.
His shoulders fell and rose quickly, sobs shaking his chest and tears flowing freely.
Kyoya knew this was from more than Haruhi.
"I know this is more than just Haruhi moving. What else has been hurting you?"
"..." The blond stayed quiet for a while. "It's just... your father... he slapped you... because of me. Honey and his brother... grew apart, partly because of me..."
"Tamaki, what my father does to me is not because of you. You actually brought Honey and his brother closer together."
"The twins... they have to do a routine that must be uncomfortable... because of me..."
"Have you ever heard them complain? They don't mind it. They actually think it's pretty fun."
That just made Tamaki sob harder.
Kyoya just held him.
Tamaki eventually calmed down, looking up at Kyoya.
Kyoya cupped his face in his hands, then used his thumb to wipe the tears away. He wiped right under Tamaki's eyes as well, removing the tears that threatened to fall.
He planted a soft kiss on the blond's forehead, causing the blond to get confused. He just shook it off.
"Thank you, Kyoya."
"You're welcome, Tamaki."
They stayed like that, limbs tangled, hearts pounding, for a while.
"Kyoya?"
"Hmm?"
"Haruhi told me something... is it true?"
"Is what true?"
"...do you really have feelings for me?"
'Damn it.' Kyoya cursed himself out in his mind.
Tamaki knew from the stunned silence.
Kyoya looked away, his cheeks covered in a light pink blush.
"Kyoya? Look at me."
Kyoya slowly did.
When Kyoya was fully facing him, Tamaki did what Kyoya did, just, instead of swiping his thumb over his face, he kissed him.
Kyoya was astonished. He didn't do anything for a moment, before slowly kissing back.
They stayed like that until they heard two identical gasps from the doorway. The pulled away, then turned towards the door to see the twins scrambling down the hall.
"Mori! Honey!"
The two came running.
Tamaki tackled Hikaru, and Kyoya tackled Kaoru. They put their hands over the twins' mouths.
The twins took the liberty of washing their hands with their saliva.
Tamaki and Kyoya wiped their hands of on the twins' uniforms.
"Tamaki and Kyoya kiss- mblr!" The twins got gagged.
"They what?" Honey looked from one to the other.
"Called it." The window opened and Haruhi came through it.
They all looked at her, then back to Tamaki and Kyoya.
"What? It was bound to happen. I just... edged it along."
