Chapter 3

Sunlight streamed into Tamaki's room, gracing the room with its bright presence.

Edward twitched and slowly blinked the sunlight and sleepiness from his eyes. Edward turned away from the big bright windows and found that Tamaki was no longer in the bed next to him. Frantic, Edward sat up and saw Tamaki looking in a mirror as he tied his tie. Edward watched a while as his cousin tied his tie on and fixed the collar of his shirt. Ed yawned and Tamaki glanced over at Ed.

Seeing Ed awake, Tamaki smiled. "Morning sleepy head."

Edward mumbled something that Tamaki took for as a good morning reply.

Tamaki grabbed his backpack and started out the door.

"Wait!" Ed cried stumbling out of bed. "Where are you going?"

Tamaki stopped and peeked back into the room. "I have school today and I need to get to class."

"So you're just going to leave me…?" Edward's eyes blurred with oncoming tears and buried his face into his teddy bear.

Tamaki didn't know what to do. He set his bag down and wrapped his arms around his little cousin. "It's okay." Tamaki soothed. A thought hit Tamaki, making his eyes widen. "Hey! Why don't you come with me… to school?"

Edward sniffled and looked at Tamaki with hope in his eyes. "Can I?" He mumbled into his teddy bear.

"Of course you can. If that's what you truly want to do!"

Ed nodded.

"Well then…" Tamaki checked his clock on his nightstand. "You need to go to your room and find something nice to wear, brush your teeth and hair, and come downstairs for breakfast got that?"

Ed nodded.

"Alright." Tamaki checked his clock again. "You have 5 minutes till you have to be downstairs, Okay?"

Ed nodded.

"Go for it!"

Ed raced out of the room to his own to get changed as fast as he could. He brushed his teeth and combed his golden blonde hair, which hung almost to his shoulders. Not knowing what to wear, Ed found some of his blue jeans, a pair of black and white sneakers, a black t-shirt, and a warm red hoodie in his closet. Before going downstairs Ed gently set his teddy bear on his neatly made bed.

Edward found Tamaki eating a breakfast of crepes. Ed tried one and found them delicious. He loved it.

"Young master Suoh a car is waiting outside to take you and Mr. Edward Elric to school." a butler stated.

"Thank you Mr. Hobbs." Tamaki smiled.

"Of course sir." The butler bowed.

After shoving the last crepe in his mouth, Tamaki announced that it was time to go as he grabbed his bag and started to walk out the door.

Edward finished his last crepe and followed Tamaki out the door.

Edward had never ridden in a limo before, so he was a little exited as he explored the car's interior and played with the window controls.

Soon they arrived at Ouran Academy, the chauffeur opened the limo's door and Tamaki stepped out, followed by Edward.

"Welcome to Ouran Academy, Edward." Tamaki smiled and led Edward into the grand school.
