Chapter 7
Disclaimer- I own nothing!
Kyouya walked out of the bedroom in search of Tamaki. He felt bad for sleeping in late even by his standards. With work only getting busier as April was just around the corner he was staying later and working in their office until early morning. A few nights he just crashed on the loveseat not wanting to waste time going upstairs when he would only have a few hours to sleep before he had to get up and go to work. He promised Tamaki he wouldn't work on the weekends so he could relax but he noticed he was sleeping in later than he really wanted.
Tamaki was sitting at the kitchen table hunched over something.
"Sorry for sleeping late Tamaki, what are you working on?"
Tamaki turned around to show him. It was just a square on a piece of paper with words inside it.
"I was laying out the rooms but my inability to draw stopped me to using only words instead." Kyouya looked over the front and back of the sheet, which held a layout for the two rooms. Even though they decided to keep the girls together at first to make it easier on them; they planned to separate them when they were old enough. Since they had to paint and set up the nursery they decided to do the second room as well so it would be done when they needed it. When he handed the paper back to Tamaki he noticed paint or something across his cheek.
"What happened to you?"
"What? Oh…come here let me show you." He stood up to lead Kyouya back upstairs. Once they hit the top he made Kyouya close his eyes.
"Just trust me on this." Making sure he didn't lose Kyouya's trust by having him hit something he carefully lead him down the hall.
"Now it's not done but so far I think it looks pretty good. Okay open your eyes. Ta-dah!"
Kyouya looked into one of the old guest rooms. It went from a grey color to now being a light orange with white sponge marks to create a peaches and cream color.
"This is what we said right? I could only go so high with the sponge since I'm not allowed on the ladder, and …"
"It looks fine. You did this all this morning?"
"Yep, I've been up since seven and was restless sitting still so I started working. You're not mad are you?"
Kyouya wrapped his arms around as Tamaki's waist as he was still behind him.
"You never cease to amaze me at times you know that right. How did you place the white marks so I can help you?"
"It's just windowed and I have this idea for the corners so when you get to the wall corners stop."
"Okay." Kyouya stepped away from Tamaki and rolled up his sleeves.
"You might want to change shirts; it is really easy to get covered in paint, especially since your holding the sponge to paint."
"Well noted." He climbed to where Tamaki had stopped and had him hand over everything.
Within a few hours Kyouya had gotten to the last wall. To stay out of his way Tamaki sat on the window and watched. As Kyouya stepped down to see if he missed something he started to laugh.
"You know Tamaki doing this; it makes everything feel much more real."
Tamaki walked up next to him and wrapped an arm around Kyouya's waist.
"Oh and what did it feel like before?" Tamaki started to laugh with him as they looked over the room to make sure everything was perfect.
"Come on let's eat dinner, after, we can finish up you can tell me what your idea is for the corners.
Before they went back upstairs to finish Tamaki walked into their office and came out with a bag.
"This is my idea, to stencil this in the corners with these two colors."
Kyouya looked at it and smiled, "I really like it. Come on let's do it."
Kyouya went back on the ladder and with Tamaki's help he was able to start.
"To make it easier and less likely to mess up we'll do the one color first then go back and do the second."
"Got it."
Kyouya couldn't figure out the reason for it but it seemed right. Maybe that's why Tamaki decided on it. No, Tamaki knew exactly why he chose it.
"What do you think Tamaki, does it look okay? Is this what you wanted?"
"It's perfect. The rose colors look great."
"Please don't get insulted but why the blue? I understand the red I mean it's the normal color for a rose but you lost me with the blue. And just wondering why you didn't want the roses together, they look good on the connecting walls but would it have worked if you brought them together on the same wall then again on the connecting one?"
"I tried, and it seemed too much and for your first question the answer is really simple. When we were in high school we had roses in the club remember. Well mine was red, and yours was blue. When I came across the rose stencil I knew we had to use it in the rooms.
Kyouya started laughing as he stared at the roses. That made sense and was exactly like Tamaki. Tamaki still lived off the code that girls should always be treated right. Their girls would be no different, they would be their princesses, hell they were already. The roses on the walls would serve as a daily reminder for them, though Kyouya didn't think they would need to be reminded.
Tamaki stood in front of the bathroom sink to try and get the paint on his face off. Kyouya hung out on the bed; it felt good to have no real worries for once. He loved his job but right now things were crazy and to step away from it for a moment felt great. Hiroshi promised it would get easier as he did it more and more but he knew he would still be locked in his office for days whenever a show came up. Hopefully Tamaki wouldn't get mad whenever it happened. He watched as he completely avoided the bed to sit by the window.
"Did I do something wrong Tamaki?" He was joking but Tamaki got worried that he upset Kyouya by avoiding him.
"What? No, of course not, it's a full moon tonight and it will look fantastic since the sky is clear." He moved so Kyouya could join him. It seemed like forever since they sat like this. Tamaki rested his head against Kyouya's chest while his hands were wrapped around his waist.
"I am really going to miss you."
"What? I'm not going anywhere."
"When you leave for your trip. It's going to be a long week, well longer but I'm trying to only think about it being a week."
"It will be long, but at least you'll have Angela to talk to."
"Yea, but, we won't sit together like this. She isn't you. You know this will be the first time since we've been married that we will be apart from each other over night."
Kyouya thought about that for a minute, Tamaki was right. While he had business meetings and trips he would always come home at night, no matter how late that would be.
"Well try not to worry about it, I bet if you keep busy the days will fly by."
"What will you do in New York?"
"Saturday and Sunday we are set up to host an event showcasing our concept cars. During the week I can do whatever. Then the following weekend we are doing it again. Sunday as soon as the show closes I'm flying home."
"Will you sightsee during the week?"
"I could but I doubt it. I'll probably hang out in the hotel room."
"Well's that's boring. Here go take a picture of the Empire State Building for me. I've always wanted to see it, oh and the Statue of Liberty."
"Okay, any other place?"
"No, I don't know what's there really."
"I guess we'll have to go sometime."
"Yea, it's a deal."
Both stayed as they were and stared up at the sky. Neither wanted to move, as they were comfortable just as they were.
"Claire."
"Um okay, should I know what that means Tamaki?"
"I want to name one of our daughters Claire. While you're away you can think of another name."
"Okay, Claire Suoh. It sounds nice together. Where did you get that name?"
"It hit me while I was at the center yesterday. I was in a phone conference with the volunteers in France. None of them were named Claire but that's when it hit me. I was looking into Japanese names but I think I like this one better then what I was thinking about originally."
"I will have to think of something then."
"You better, I don't want one of our daughters to be named Claire and the other to be called Nameless."
"Would be a conversation starter."
"Kyouya! That's horrible, I'm not going to agree to that!"
"Oh relax Tamaki, I'm joking. I promise to think about it."
"Oh…okay good."
Kyouya laughed as Tamaki moved a little to get comfortable.

Shorter, yes, filler, sorta. Still all dream though but it hasn't been going in any order. My dream has practically ended now it's just repeating and damn does it get good. Anywho I think this chapter is super cute. So Review to encourage the cuteness! :)
