Tamaki's POV

-Kyo. I need to know… I'll go back up and ask him. - I said, feeling the nervousness crawl up my skin.

-You're sure about this? What if he doesn't…- The sentence hung in the air, unspoken.

I couldn't help but shudder at the possibility.

-Yeah, - I nodded, trying to hide my fears. –There's no other way of knowing…-

-Than asking. – He added the words for me and I could barely notice a raw edge to his voice. The way it sounded when he was tense.

-Don't worry. I'll be right back. - He nodded, as his intense silvery eyes never left mine.

I turned as fast as I could, running towards the oh-so cliché French mansion.

I guess this is it. I couldn't help but sigh, as my calm façade crumbled around me. No turning back now…Whatever he does, I just hope he doesn't tell my father. I shivered as my thoughts turned to him. I could so see him before me that second, treating me like scum. I tried to shake the thought away, remembering that he was thousands of miles away. My gaze drifted back to the mansion and so did my thoughts. Tamaki…

I lowered the limousine window, to have a better look when he came back. Please…Let his father accept this…for both our sakes…

I knocked twice on the wooden door. It creaked loudly, almost violently and this time I even had to reach up to protect my ears. All those goddamn antiquities…so noisy.-

-Why back so soon, son? - My Dad said, his eyes still glued to some business contract he'd been checking out before I arrived.

For a second I thought my knees were going to give out. I reached up for the chair before him, trying to sit before he saw me that weak. I could feel him staring intently.

-Are you feeling alright? – He asked, seeming concerned.

-Well, yes. It's just that…You know right?-

Oh great. That sounded brilliant.

His eyes skipped mine he seemed to find the door interesting all of a sudden. Still, I could feel them burning on my skin.

-About you and Kyouya? Yes. –

I wasn't surprised at the information, but at the calm, composed manner he mentioned it with.

-And? - I questioned him, nervously.

-It's not what I want for you, Tamaki. But, if this is what you chose, I can't help but accept it. After all, I'm your father. I'll love you always, no matter what.-

For a second I thought relief was going to kill me. It washed over me, erasing everything that could go wrong. I felt my eyes grow a bit watery.

-Thanks, Dad. – I muttered, my strangled whisper full of emotion.

-Even if I'd rather see you with that cute girl, Haruhi. I'm so glad you're with him. He seems to make you happy. – He said, smiling.

I mirrored his gesture. A second after his face was serious and businesslike. I couldn't help but marvel at how fast and radical his expression could change.

-Just one thing, before you leave. If I noticed this easily, Ootori-sama can notice any second, and he is well known for his cruel treatment to him. Just keep a watchful eye ok? I'll send Jacques, just in case. -

I nodded, standing up, as a smile crept into my features again.

-Really…thank you Dad. You have no idea what this means to me. – I whispered, as I turned around to leave the room.

Kyouya's POV

I stared at my wrist watch for the tenth time in the last five minutes.

Why is he taking so long?

The chauffer spun, his eyes meeting mine for the first time.

-Here he comes. – He managed to say, through a heavy French accent.

I turned around, as composedly as I could. Tamaki was practically jumping towards the car, his happiness to great to pass unnoticed. He opened the door and nearly jumped over me, giving me a peck on the lips.

-So did he…?- I asked, just to be completely sure.

He nodded, with shimmering blue eyes.

-Jacques nous prennent à l'hôtel maintenant, s'il vous plait. – Tamaki said, as his hand crept up mine.

The engine purred softly and I let my eyes drift the window, drinking up the beauty of the city that had seen Tamaki grow. I couldn't help but sigh in content.
