I'M ALIVE!...barely. AND I COMETH BRINGING FANFICTION. But what is this? A couple that is NOT guyxguy? How can this be? What has school done to me? And you know what I didn't realize? I put Tamaki in the same class as Hikaru and Kaoru. Oops. Oh well, it's Tamaki's knocked out fantasy, it doesn't have to be realistic.
Enjoy!
"How long has he been like that?"
"Pretty sure all afternoon." Tamaki walked down the hall of the school, but he was an empty shell being led along by the twins. He was still upset that he wasn't being followed by a flock of fangirls like usual. He truly felt that he must not be beautiful anymore.
"Well, I suppose we can't send him home alone like that..." Kyouya sighed, pondering out loud, "He might hurt himself that way."
"I guess," Hikaru said as he and his brother led him out and onto the bus. They even had to prompt him to sit down, that's how bad it was.
"What are we going to do?" Kaoru asked, "He'll be like this forever if we don't convince him he's 'beautiful'."
"Hmm..." his brother thought for a moment before he got an idea, "..I think I've got it."
"With that look on your face I'm afraid to hear your idea," Kaoru commented, "But go on."
"Simple, you saw how he reacted to Haruhi, right?" he began, "If we can get her to go out with him, he'll feel 'beautiful' again."
"Har..u..hi..?" Tamaki seemed somewhat alive after hearing the name.
"How are we going to do that? She'll never, ever, EVER go out with him. One, she's rich. Two, she's popular. And three, she's hot. Tamaki's dad works a nine to five job, he's no where near popular, and I wouldn't know if he's hot or not because I'm a guy and that would be gay."
"It's not because it's gay, you won't answer because if you say something that pisses me off you'll sleep on the floor tonight," Hikaru pointed out with a smirk.
"..Okay fine, but that's besides the point. It still stands that he is definitely not her typical type. Not to mention he won't even be able to get near her again. Renge is on popular patrol," Kaoru sighed, shaking his head.
"Oh, I think we can figure something out..." Hikaru smirked some more, "We can distract her long enough to have him talk to her."
"Uh...that's another problem," Kaoru pointed out to him.
"Eh? Why's that?" Kaoru poked Tamaki, who groaned and fell over onto Hikaru.
"Ahh...good point..I guess when we get to his house we'll have to work on that," Hikaru sighed and pushed Tamaki back into an upright position.
"Hey wait a second, where's Kyouya-senpai?" Kaoru looked at the seat behind him. Kyouya sat there quietly reading a novel of sorts. At least, that was what it appeared to be to Kaoru. "Why haven't you offered any suggestions?" he asked him, sitting on his knees and facing the opposite direction. Unfortunately that caused Tamaki to almost flop over onto the floor, sending Hikaru after him and causing a Tamaki and Hikaru pile as the bus came to an abrupt stop.
"Because it appears you two have it covered. I'm just here because if I leave you two alone dangerous things could happen," he replied. He looked past him to see Hikaru giving his oblivious brother a death glare as he tried to lift Tamaki up. Hikaru didn't say anything, but you could tell he was thinking that Tamaki was heavier than he looked as he plopped him back onto the seat.
"You don't care?" he tilted his head to the side.
"If I didn't care would I be coming with you?" Kyouya replied simply and went back to his book. Kaoru pouted and slid back down into his seat.
"Thank you Kaoru for helping me," Hikaru glared at him.
"Sorry...," he pouted at him. Hikaru looked away. "Hikaruu~," he whined, "I'm sorryyy..."
"I'm not looking.." Hikaru looked the other way.
Kaoru pulled on his shirt sleeve, "But Hikaruu, I said I was sorry...I love you Hikaru..."
Hikaru scowled and whipped his head over to him. Kaoru continued to pout, unfazed. "Fine, but stop pouting," he grumbled. Finally, they arrived at their stop. Hikaru, Kaoru, Kyouya, and lifeless Tamaki all hopped off the bus and into Tamaki's house. They were all greeted happily by Antoinette, who more than likely just wanted some treats.
"Antoinette...do you think I'm beautiful?" Tamaki moaned, flopping onto his dog. Frightened, Antoinette whined and squirmed out from under him, running away. "NOOOOO YOU THINK I'M UGLY TOO!" he cried, rolling around on the floor. It didn't occur to him at all that maybe she ran away because he fell on top of her and that would be very uncomfortable for a dog.
"I have to say, I respect your determination to try to fix..this.." Kyouya looked down at Tamaki as he rolled to his feet, then rolled away again.
"Don't worry, it'll work. Trust us," they said in unison.
"But first we have to fix how he looks. More specifically his hair. It looks like something could have died in there. Hasn't he ever heard of a straightener?" Hikaru asked aloud.
"Unfortunately not every male owns a straightener like you two do. The majority of man doesn't exactly spend time in the morning worrying about his hair," Kyouya reminded them.
Hikaru shrugged, "Girls want guys to look good, and to look good you need the right tools." He put down his backpack and pulled out a straightener.
"You take that with you?" Kaoru asked, confused as to why his brother would bring that to school.
"What? There could be an emergency," Hikaru replied, going off to look for a bathroom.
"What kind of emergency would require a hair straightener?" Kaoru went on, following his brother.
"Hair emergencies, dumbass," Hikaru plugged it into the wall and set it down on the counter.
Kyouya rolled his eyes and nudged Tamaki with his foot, "C'mon..roll in this direction..." he led him along like a shepherd herding sheep. Once it was all heated up, they put the seat down on the toilet and sat Tamaki on top of it. Kaoru held Tamaki's head while Hikaru did the straightening (since it seemed obvious that he was the expert). It made some sizzling noices as he moved the straightener down his hair, which seemed to catch Tamaki's attention.
"Oi oi! What are you devil twins doing to my head?" Tamaki cried, appearing to have some life back in him again. Kyouya was suddenly reassured that it was a good idea to come along.
"Don't move or else you'll get burned..it's nothing to worry about," Hikaru reassured him.
"It's true, he does it to me all the time. It's normal," Kaoru let go of Tamaki since it appeared that he could hold his own head up now.
"Why are you even doing this?" he cried as he watched steam come up from his head.
"You said you wanted to be beautiful again, right? We're just testing to see if the straightener will work for tomorrow," Hikaru replied.
"Tomorrow? What's tomorrow? WHAT ARE YOU PLOTTING?" Tamaki wailed.
"We already told you, you're going to go out with Haruhi," Kaoru sighed, hopping up onto the counter.
"Har..u..hi..?" Tamaki blinked.
"No, we totally said Kyouya," Hikaru rolled his eyes. Kyouya looked over after hearing his name, but he figured it was safer not to ask.
"Why am I going to go out with Haruhi? She hates me," he frowned, looking like he was going to cry.
"Because, it's a huge self-confidence booster. if she's willing to go out with you then you must be something special," Kaoru stated simply.
"Haruhi rarely goes out with anyone. And when she does, they don't last very long. Either they feel too inferior or she feels they aren't doing a good enough job," Hikaru continued to explain for his brother, "She's pretty much given up."
"You need to prove to her that you're good enough to go out with her. You need to change her opinion of guys," Kaoru finished off.
"What if she says no?" Tamaki blinked. The twins blinked too. They never really thought of that, they were just going with if it did work. What if it didn't?
"If she says no, be persistent," Kyouya piped up, "Maybe if she sees your determination she'll give you a shot."
"Yes! You're right! I shall do this for all the guys out there to see that they too can get a date if they try!" he went to stand up, but was forced back down.
"I told you to stop moving or you'll get burned!" Hikaru scolded him as he finished off the last bits of hair. When he looked in the mirror, Tamaki felt a little more normal again.
"Well...I guess this will have to do.." he mumbled to himself.
"Don't worry about anything. Just do what we did with this straightener in the morning and you'll be fine," Hikaru unplugged it.
"Wait, don't you need it?" Tamaki asked.
"We have two," Kaoru replied, hopping off the counter.
"Why would you need two?" Tamaki asked.
"We're twins, duh," they said in unison before walking out, Kyouya close behind.
"Wait.." Tamaki called after Kyouya. He turned around and looked at him. "Do you really think I can do this?" Tamaki asked.
"I don't know, it's up to you if you can do it or not. Not me," he turned back around and walked out the door with the twins. Tamaki groaned and headed up to his room, flopping down face first onto his bed when he got there. Antoinette hopped up cautiously beside him and laid down.
Tamaki looked up and patted her head, "Well...at least if she says no you're a girl who will never leave me...right?" Antoinette barked, and Tamaki took that as a yes. He smiled a bit, "Good, I'm glad that we've gotten that settled."
The next day, Tamaki got up extra early just to make sure he could straighten his beautiful golden locks without burning them into beautiful ebony locks. His father was surprised to see him up so early.
"Uh..what are you doing?" he asked.
"I'm becoming beautiful, leave me be.." he replied simply, continuing to move the straightener through his poofy hair.
"Words you never want to hear from your teenage son.." he muttered as he went downstairs. A little bit later, Tamaki raced down and out to the bus, a muffled 'Bye!' being all that was heard from him. He hopped onto the bus and went to sit by Kyouya again, the twins sitting in the seat in front of them.
"So, looks like you managed to do it without burning yourself," Hikaru commented, "Nice job."
"It was so hard, and I had to get up really early," he yawned, "But I supposed that you have to work to be this beautiful."
"Don't flatter yourself, but I'm glad that it worked," Kaoru replied, looking out of the window.
"Do you think you'll have the guts to talk to her?" Hikaru moved so he was facing out into the aisle so he could see Tamaki.
"I don't know...I guess as long as you two can take care of Renge I should be okay.." he said with a nod of his head.
Hikaru looked to Kaoru and Kaoru looked to Hikaru with a smirk, "Oh, I'm sure we can distract most of the girls in the class." Tamaki blinked in confusion, but this confusion couldn't last long. The bu spulled up in front of the school and everyone got off. Tamaki hadn't noticed it before, but a lot of the girls were looking at him and whispering to each other. Feeling confident, he strode off the bus and into the school. This was going to work out after all...right? There was no time to doubt himself as he walked into the classroom, Hikaru and Kaoru at his tail.
"Ready?" Hikaru looked to Kaoru, who nodded. Kaoru walked in casually at first. Suddenly, he 'tripped' and landed on a desk, whacking his head. "Kaoru!" Hikaru ran in, a dramatic look on his face. He helped his brother sit up. Everyone was looking at them.
"I'm fine..really..you don't need to help me..." Kaoru winced and sat up.
"But Kaoru..what would I do..." he choked on tears, "If I lost you?" That caught their attention. Girls all flocked around them like birds, including Haruhi's almighty bodyguard. Expect for one girl. Haruhi. Tamaki took the chance to slide by the group of fangirls to get o her seat in the class. First he had to make sure he still had his hearing in order to hear her answer, the fangirl squeals made him feel like his eardrums had exploded. After concluding that he did in fact still have his hearing, he waltzed over to Haruhi.
"Uh..hi.." he said simply.
She looked up at him, then back down to her phone, "What do you want?"
"Uh..well...uh...just wanted to ask how you were doing?" he stuttered. He cursed at himself, why was he being an idiot?
"You want to ask me out, don't you?" Haruhi replied without much emotion.
"Well..uh..er.." Tamaki began, and then sighed in defeat.
"Fine, you caught me. Haruhi Fujioka, do you want to go out with me?"
