Tamaki is prone to vomiting Adjectives. And Nouns. And Adverbs. And other garbage that Kyouya usually tunes out after he gets the gist of what his self-proclaimed best friend is trying to convey. This however proves to be his downfall when he finds himself saddled with a cat that the blond has found in a little box on his way to surprise his fiancée in her commoner dwelling.
"Tachibana is allergic." Kyouya points out impatiently in his umpteenth attempt to make the Suoh heir take the blasted feline away.
Tamaki, however does not budge. Instead he offers Tachibana allergy medicine and the phone number of the leading medical professional in the country (who happens to be Kyouya himself) and pats him on the back and tells him to take it like a man.
These words are some of the last ones Kyouya has believed Tamaki will ever utter and had he been the type to gape foolishly, he would have been scraping his jaw off the floor right about now. Tachibana however has no compunctions to follow any sort of code of conduct that prevent him from doing the latter, so he does exactly that. Then promptly sneezes.
Kyouya impatiently sends him back home and calls in the cavalry.
"I will not take any part in this debate." Haruhi announces crabbily. She has just returned from a shopping trip with the twins and does not want to waste what little energy she has arguing over a topic she can't care less about. Her experience with animals is limited to dealings with Antoniette and Antoniette only and she has no desires to expand it to creatures of the feline persuasion. She however, generously tickles Neko-chan underneath her chin and thinks that whatever talent Tamaki has with words, it does not stretch to naming things.
The twins comment on this as well and then somehow draw in both Tamaki and Hani-senpai into their 'little' discussion of who gets to name Haruhi's first child.
Nekozawa-senpai wins.
Kyouya shakes his head and retreats to his study. He can already feel the beginnings of a migraine coming on.
Meanwhile the proceedings outside have been taken outside. The unanimous opinion says that Beezelneef-chan or Beelzeneef-kun are not very nice sounding, especially when paired up with Fujioka-Suoh hence there is a rematch scheduled and it involves paintball. Where they manage to get hold of the equipment Haruhi doesn't know and does not care enough to find out.
Nekozawa-senpai and Haruhi choose not to go outside to see who wins. They are rather content in the cooler confines of the palatial Ohtori mansion. Mori-senpai would like to stay back but has a duty to follow his charge and refree the bloodbath, or rather, paintbath.
They heave a collective sigh of relief and return to their previous occupations namely sorting paperwork and constructing a shrine for the newest addition to Kyouya's household. Occasionally taking a pause to wince at the proceedings outside, they continue their work with single-minded intensity, much to the relief of the maid who is charged to report about the happenings outside to her employer.
Kyouya listens to the report with a stony face, dismisses his employee and opens the blinds of his study window which overlook the gardens. He winces at the damages caused to the impeccable landscape, debates with himself for a split second then activates the sprinklers.
He observes his friends make fools of themselves for a moment, smirks at his victory and opens the link to a baby naming website in a separate window. The debate can wait another day but right now all he wants do is savor his victory.
Thoughts?
