Kyouya's POV
When I wake up, I feel my feet dragging on the ground. Excited voices fill my ears. I open my eyes to see that I am being carried- or dragged, to be more exact- by Tamaki, with my arms draped across his shoulders. My face reddens at being so close to him. I stand up straight and pull my arms away from his shoulders. Tamaki turns around with a big smile to greet me.
"Good morning, sleepy head!" He booms enthusiastically.
"Jeez, you sleep like a rock," Hikaru comments, appearing behind Tamaki.
"Yeah, we weren't sure you'd ever wake up" Kaoru adds. I look around and see that there are tents set up with games. Stands selling fried food that could probably clog your arteries just by looking at it were scattered around. A tall Ferris wheel rose above all of the stands, and I could see other rides here and there. This must be the commoner carnival that Tamaki had been babbling on about this morning.
"Yay! You're up! Now we can go get cake!" Hunny beams up at me. He runs off toward the nearest snack stand, Mori following closely behind. The twins walk off in search of a roller coaster, dragging an uninterested Haruhi with them. And just like that, we were alone.
"Let's go this way!" Without warning, Tamaki grabs my wrist and drags me toward a striped tent. He gracefully dodges everyone in the way. Amazingly, we reach the tent without colliding with anyone. It is a booth with bottles stacked up into pyramids. Commoners are throwing balls at the bottles, and if they knock them over, the man running the game hands them a small prize. "Can we play it, Mommy?" Tamaki asks, gazing at the booth in awe.
"Well, I don't see why not." His face lights up and he fumbles around in his pockets for his wallet. After a minute, he seems to come up empty handed.
"I seem to have… um… forgotten my…" he trails off, then looks at me hopefully. I'm not sure how the moron managed to leave all of his money at home, and remember to put mine in my pocket. I pull out two hundred yen and hand it to Tamaki.
"Oh, thank you Kyouya! I knew I could count on you! You're my best friend ever!" He latches onto me, rubbing his face against mine. I wasn't sure what he was so excited about. I had gotten him much more expensive things than this, and he hadn't showed this much gratitude. I push him away from me slightly, stopping the blush that had been forming on my cheeks in it's tracks. Tamaki handed the money to the man behind the counter, who in turn gave him five balls. He threw the first ball in the general direction of the bottle pyramid and managed to knock down the first two rows. He beamed at me.
"What do you think, mommy?"
"I think that you should hurry this along. I don't want to spend all day here." He turns back towards the game.
"And why is that?" He throws his second ball, which knocks down the rest of his pyramid.
"Well, Tamaki, some of us actually have more important things to do with their time than to loiter around an amusement park." Tamaki points to the prize that he wants and the man hands him a small stuffed dog that looks like Antoinette. Ignoring my last comment, he turns and gives the dog to me.
"Here. You paid for me to play, the least I can do is let you have the prize."
"What am I going to do with this?" I ask, taking the prize anyway.
"So, what do you want to do now?" Knowing that Tamaki wouldn't accept 'go home' as an answer, I shrug.
"But there's so much to do here!" He exclaims, as if he's actually been to a commoners carnival before. "I've read all about these things! We could go on the Ferris wheel or a roller coaster or play ring toss or buy commoners food-"
"Let's get something to eat." I cut in before Tamaki has a chance to go any further. He would ramble on like that for hours if somebody would let him. Besides, I hadn't eaten breakfast before being dragged out of my house this morning and I was extremely hungry.
"Okay, let's go this way!" He bounds off ahead of me, then circles back when he sees that I'm not going to run after him. While he was up ahead, Tachibana had appeared and informed me that the most sanitary food stall was in fact in the other direction. I start towards it, motioning for Tamaki to follow me. When we reach the stall, Tamaki orders something called a funnel cake, which looks like pure fat and sugar, covered in even more sugar, while I opt for a hamburger and a soda. Apparently, Tamaki is just as hungry as I am, because he attacks his funnel cake like it's his last meal.
"You've got… a little something…" I wipe at my face, implying that he should do the same. I sigh as he rubs at the completely wrong side of his face. "No, you're hopeless. Let me get it." I grab a napkin and wipe away the small clump of sugar. Tamaki twitched away from my touch and blushed, embarrassed.
"Heh, thanks Kyouya. You know, I think it's nearly time to go." How strange. We hadn't been there more than an hour or so. Tamaki's field trips usually lasted most of the day. Maybe he wasn't feeling well. I decide not to press the issue. We gathered up the rest of the club without incident. Kaoru (yes, I can tell them apart, who do you think I am?) commented that "Milord seemed awfully quiet", but Tamaki had only smiled at him and made a joke. After that, we all went our separate ways. I sent Tachibana to follow Tamaki home in an attempt to find out what was bothering him. I'm not usually a fan of what some people may call stalking, but I was only doing what anyone would do when their best friend was acting oddly. Besides, security at Suoh mansion number two was rather lax, being that all of Tamaki's servants had been carefully chosen to match his personality. I watch him drive off, then climb into my own limo to await Tachibana's report.

Tamaki's POV
When Tamaki arrived home from the amusement park, He went straight to his room, requesting that none of his servants enter. He locked the door and flung himself onto the bed, muttering to himself.
"Eh, there was nothing wrong with what Kyouya did. Why did I react like I did?" He paused for a moment, silently contemplating. "Well of course I love him, he's mommy and I'm daddy, and mommy and daddy must love each other, or else the family can not survive." He blushed again as he thought about what had happened earlier that day. To most people, it would be a matter of little significance, just one friend helping another. But there was something in Kyouya's touch, soft and gentle and very much not Kyouya-esque. Tamaki's head began to hurt. Deciding that he had done quite enough deep thinking for the day, he rolled over and fell into a troubled sleep.

Kyouya's POV
Tachibana returned home with very little to report. Apparently, Tamaki had only muttered something about 'mommy and daddy' and then drifted off to sleep. I wondered what was troubling him so much. He had been fine up until I had wiped the piece of funnel cake off of him, and that hadn't been anything out of the ordinary. He was hopeless and I was only helping him. Maybe he just wasn't feeling well from eating that enormous funnel cake. I decided I would go to Suoh Mansion number two myself if he was still acting oddly tomorrow.

A/N: Well I hope you're enjoying! I was originally gonna try to do a chapter from Tamaki's POV, but it's hard to switch between the two since they have such different mindsets. So I managed to get that little snippet out, and that was about all I could manage from him. Oh well, there will be other fanfics. Don't forget to review!
