For Lady Light.
Spoilers for ep17 and ep26
And yes, I am aware that parts of it nearly identical to Family. They were meant to be.
Kyouya had slowly began to relax since he had known Tamaki, had slowly become more teasing, more open, more brightly related to others around him.
It had still been hard, though, to express himself openly. But he wasn't really an egoist.
He found himself before his father, a faint look of surprise scribbled across his face.
"Kyouya, I would like you to marry that girl- Fujiko Haruhi."
The blank expression washed away in a quiet, indrawn content.
"I wonder why you're asking that; she has nothing to offer you."
His father's brows knotted together, and he frowned at his youngest son half-heartedly. "Kyouya, if you do not marry this girl, I will not give you the company."
The youngest Ootori chuckled under his breath. "Father, I already own this company and I am sure this is a fact of which you are well aware."
The aging man did not answer, eyes fixed on his son's quiet smile. "Your answer?"
"Has nothing to do with your request, father."
He stared for a moment, surprised at his son's brashness. The Host Club had done him good. He would have to thank Suoh-sama for it. Or Suoh-sama's son, rather.
"So you will?"
"We'll see. I am above blackmail occasionally." He smiled again, as though there was a hidden joke in that. He nodded, and turned, exiting the room without the formality he used to devote to his father.
"…Blackmail?" He frowned again, but decided it wasn't worth dwelling on and shook his head, standing from his position and moving towards the window.
That's a rather interesting view.
Apparently I've once again been too vague. He answers "We'll see, I am above blackmail occasionally"- 'we'll see' because Haruhi could always say no, and 'I am above blackmail occasionally' because he's done it more than once (but particularly, the first time he meets Haruhi) but he's unwilling to force her into this. His father is not aware of his 'police kick you out of Japan' strategy.
I'm aware this is more threatening than blackmailing. But blackmail just seemed better for some reason. I appologize for the confusion.
