I had fun writing this, really, because the mental images I had for each word could be hilarious or touching or "awww!" but ultimately they were absolutely vivid. So tell me which ones you like best! (:
Numbers 31-40
#31 - Book
"Never judge a book by its cover," Kyouya's father had told him once, in a rare moment of confidence, and he found that it applied to some of the most important things in his life, like Tamaki, who practically had a different cover to suit every occasion, but that very uncertainty was what made him glow.
#32 - Eye
People said that the eyes were the windows to one's soul, and Tamaki wholeheartedly agreed, although he complained that the commoners had forgotten to add that the windows were accompanied by exceedingly heavy curtains.
#33 - Never
Take away the n from never, and its meaning was completely changed; in that same way, Tamaki and Kyouya were so similar to each other, except for the n that made one bright and the other dark- but the "n" was what made them unique.
#34 - Sing
Tamaki played the piano very well, but the melody was lonely in the huge room -his mother was no longer there to sing with her high, light voice- and the person he hoped could accompany him merely sat on the sofa with a hand buried in his hair, looking out of the window to someplace far, far away.
#35 - Sudden
Kyouya didn't like sudden things at all- he preferred to know what was going on in his life the moment it started-but the first time Tamaki really looked at him, steadily and unflinchingly, he found that he couldn't shake away the sudden realization that had just crashed onto him.
#36 - Stop
From young, Kyouya had been taught self-control, and he wielded it almost as well as Mori-san fought with a katana; however, once he felt Tamaki's warm arms around him and a silky head nuzzling at his neck, his self-control bent, strained, and then cleanly snapped into two.
#37 - Time
Time passed so quickly for Tamaki when he was with Kyouya at a "Dad-and-Mom" meeting after the rest of the Host Club members had gone home; sometimes he wondered if Kyouya had somehow gotten the clock to tick faster during Host Club hours to earn more profit and then forgotten to slow it down.
#38 - Wash
Tamaki was bathing when his housekeeper barged in to ensure that he was cleaning behind his ears ("Don't try to lie, Young Master, I know you haven't washed properly yet!"), and despite his shocked yells, continued to nag him until he blurted out, "It feels as if you're Mom!", and then turned red and wouldn't look at his housekeeper for a long time.
#39 - Torn
It was easy enough for them to paste on their usual expressions and act as if nothing was wrong when Tamaki got together with that Eclair girl, but Haruhi wondered why Kyouya had suddenly cancelled her debt and Tamaki tried to act cool and nonchalant all the time.
#40 - History
History spoke of things long gone and events finished, but although Tamaki knew that he was being selfish occasionally - not letting Kyouya get to know other girls better- he never wanted their relationship to become history.
note: Honestly, I can just imagine Tamaki tugging at very heavy curtains, and the expression on his face... gosh. I have to write more.
