Hi! This is sadly the last chapter, but I have a special note coming for you guys!

TWO WEEKS LATER:

"Bipolar disorder? What the hell is that?" Tamaki cried out. The doctor shushed him.

"Please calm down, Tamaki!" he said. "Bipolar disorder, by definition, is a 'brain disorder that causes unusual shifts in mood, energy, activity levels, and the ability to carry out day-to-day tasks.'"

Tamaki mulled over that for a moment. "How the hell... do I have this?"

"Well, after hearing your history of temper-tantrums, long after you outgrew them, your feelings of anxiety, your history of depression and self-harm, and observing your mood-changes here at the hospital, the diagnosis came pretty quickly.

"How has your depression been, anyhow? Has the Lexapro been helping?"

"I feel dizzy…."

"That's a side effect and it should pass. But has it been helping making you feel emotionally better?"

Tamaki nodded. The doctor nodded as well and wrote on his clipboard.

"Excellent! And don't think for a moment I haven't noticed a slight behavioral change as well since you started the medication!"

Tamaki looked up. "You have?"

Before he could answer, there was a knock at the door. "Come in!"

Yuzuru entered the room. Tamaki smiled as his father sat down next to him. "So, doctor. What's the verdict? You called me earlier and said you have my son's diagnosis?

The doctor nodded. "I sure do. Your son has what's called Bipolar NOS…Not Otherwise

Specified. Meaning, he has the symptoms of bipolar disorder, but not ones that fit into type one or two." He handed a pamphlet to the elder Suoh, who opened it immediately. "Your son will continue on the Lexapro, which should help. In the meantime, I think it's best we discharge him and begin outpatient treatment."

Discharge?

Tamaki's heart sang. He'd been waiting to hear that word for over two weeks now! After what that damn Akatsuki had said, he feared he'd never get out of there! Now he could walk out of there with his head held high, back to the people that loved him.

After some talks with a couple more doctors and packing up his things, Tamaki walked to the cafeteria to say goodbye to everyone.

But there was only one person he wanted to say anything to.

Akatsuki was in the midst of playing Ping-Pong with one of his friends. Tamaki sauntered over, a smirk on his face.

"I'm being discharged now," Akatsuki turned to look at him in shock, the Ping-Pong ball hitting him in the temple.

"But…but that's not fair! I've been here for two months now!" He slammed down the paddle on the table and crossed his arms in a pout. "When the fuck am I getting out of this place? Stupid Borderline Personality! I'm such a worthless piece of shit"

Tamaki suddenly felt a change of heart and felt some sympathy for the guy. It was his fault he was an asshole; it was his disorder that made him that way.

"Hey look, Akatsuki. at least you've got some nice doctors who will take care of you and make sure you get better. But you ought to try to not be so mean to people at the same time."

The other boy sighed. "You know what, Suoh, you're ok." he stuck out his hand for a handshake, like he had two weeks ago. This time, Tamaki shook his hand.

A limousine pulled up the front door of the Suoh mansion. An excited Hunny, who was watching at the window, ran into the other room and jumped onto Mori, who was mid-conversation- or what you can call conversation from him- with Kyoya and Haruhi. "He's here! He's here! Tama-chan's home!"

"Alright, places everyone Kyoya called, clapping his hands twice. The excited chatter in the room quickly quieted down. Someone switched off the lights and everyone found their pre-planned hiding places.

"Father, can I at least open my eyes so I can find my way up the stairs?" Tamaki asked. Yuzuru chuckled.

"Of course, but look down at your feet!" Tamaki obliged as they walked up the staircase together.

Yuzuru unlocked the door. "Close your eyes again, Tamaki." Once again, Tamaki did as he was told.

His father pushed the door open and lead him inside. The room was dark and he could barely make out the, "Welcome home, Tamaki!" hanging off the grand staircase. "Hmm…I wonder why it's so dark in here…" he reached for the light switch as Tamaki opened his eyes curiously. A peek wouldn't hurt if it was dark, he supposed.

"SURPRISE!" Everyone jumped out and Tamaki jumped into the air before falling flat on his rear end. Everyone held their breath, anticipating his reaction.

But the prince stumbled to his feet, laughing his head off. "Hello, everyone! Good to see you all!" All the girls in the room giggled and flocked over to him.

"Well I think we have a happy ending on our hands, everyone!" Kyoya sighed happily.

Tamaki managed to make his way through the girls and over to Hunny. He handed the small boy his stuffed rabbit. "I'm not completely better, Senpai. But he missed you!" Hunny smiled and took the rabbit from Tamaki. He then grabbed the prince by the hand and over to a large cake.

"I picked it out myself!" Hunny declared proudly. The cake was as big as a wedding cake and had "Welcome home, Tamaki" written on the sides in violet frosting.

"Well, what are you all standing there for?" Tamaki asked, turning to the crowd behind him. "Let's dig in!"

"Mommy, dear?" Tamaki asked. The shadow king turned around and half-smiled.

"Yes…daddy?"

"I'm sorry for acting like such a brat this whole time!" The half-smile became a full one as Kyoya pushed up his glasses.

"It's alright, Tamaki. You're not fully well. It's understandable. But I'm sorry for not even considering that you weren't okay!"

There was a moment of silence before Tamaki jumped on Kyoya, much like when they had first became friends.

"KYOYA! Mon-ami! I forgive you!"

Haruhi came over to him. "Senpai, the girls are asking about the piano. They want to know if you play."

"Do you?" chorused the girls.

"He does, princesses!" Hikaru said.

"Boss, how about a song?" Kaoru asked.

Tamaki bit his lip in nerves. But in the end, he pushed the nerves to the side. Playing in front of people was never a big deal for him, after all.

He sat down and began to play. Only halfway through the song, had he realized it was his composition- the unfinished one that had gotten the better of him at a time that seemed so long ago now.

Once he reached the place he left off on, he let the last note fade away. Before he could explain it was unfinished, the crowd in the room roared with applause.

"Oh, Tamaki! That was beautiful!" swooned one girl.

"What song was that?" asked another.

"That was an original, actually." Tamaki replied. The applause got louder and Tamaki blushed. He took a bow, his heart pounding and his face glowing with pride

Haruhi walked over to him. "That was really amazing, Senpai,"

"Thanks Haruhi, that really means a lot coming from you. I don't think you know how much-"

"Trust me, Senpai," she interrupted with a smile. "I think I do."
