kyouya x tamaki
this is proof I am alive
Kyouya had never been so annoyed by another human being before. This was a thought that occurred to him repeatedly since he met the eccentric foreigner known as Tamaki Suou. That boy was constantly talking, shouting, moving around—
Never doing anything Kyouya expected. He found this to be the most annoying thing. No matter how much he thought it through, Tamaki Suou always ended up doing something unexpected.
Perhaps this is what drew Kyouya to him. Kyouya had lived his whole life as if it were carefully planned, every move he made was part of a delicate structure. Tamaki Suou, when he appeared, had been the wrecking ball to this structure. Tamaki Suou had been the leaf-blower to his precariously constructed house — castle -- of cards – bewildering, abrupt, all-encompassing in its suddenness.
After Tamaki Suou had appeared in his life, Kyouya felt somewhat freed from that tension. If it had been anyone else, anyone other than Tamaki Suou, he would never have agreed to something as ludicrous as the host club – it was still ludicrous, but because it was Tamaki Suou presenting this idea to him, he thought about it and went along with it. That ridiculous person who thought of ridiculous things was completely endearing in all of his ridiculousness.
Kyouya realized, at one point, that he no longer wanted Tamaki Suou around for profitable purposes alone; he wanted Tamaki Suou around because, by some ridiculous magic, they had become close, close friends. As Kyouya explained to Haruhi Fujioka one day in a crowded commoner mall, he still had to deal with Tamaki's ridiculousness when it didn't present any profit for him…
But he was fine with that.
Author's notes: ahh, Kyouya x Tamaki is refreshing, is it not? I enjoy the 'best friends' element in my BL pairings, indeed. –resists the urge to say something about Harry Potter, considering how I finished the 7th book last evening-
I used Tamaki and Haruhi's full names because, this being from Kyouya's point-of-view, he seems to me the kind of person who would use even his friends' full names in his thoughts. Plus it sounded nice in my head.
Also, I think 'ridiculous' is the best adjective to describe Tamaki – he isn't stupid, really, or obnoxious, or anything like that, not to me. He's a sweetheart with good intentions, but he doesn't think about the consequences his actions might have. This sort of uncontrolled personality fits well with Kyouya's, I think… Although while Tamaki is unintentionally pure and perhaps unaware of his purity, Kyouya is often very covertly malicious in his actions. Because Kyouya is aware of himself as well as his surroundings, while Tamaki is completely selfless to the point of being oblivious of his own feelings.
Anyways, please if you like it, leave a review!! Thank you to the people who have reviewed/favorited so far. I think I'll do a set of random prompts for the next one, hm?
