"Ouch." I whined before looking up at his face, "Are you okay?" His cheeks were a dark shade of red as he stared up at my mostly exposed body. Realizing I was making him very uncomfortable, I held my towel tightly around myself and rolled off of him to where I was sitting on the floor next to him.

"I—I am so sorry!" He said, averting his eyes, "W—What are you doing in nothing but a towel!?" He jumped up and yelled overdramatically looking down at me. He quickly realized that he was staring at me and immediately turned around.

"Oh relax, we used to take baths together. It's not like you've never seen me naked before." I sighed, heading toward the closet.

"Th—That's different! It's inappropriate for a young woman to be walking around without clothes!" He yelled quickly as I shut the closet door and starting looking for what I wanted to wear.

"But bursting into a young woman's room as a young man is acceptable?" I called through the door, teasing him a bit. I could hear him trying to form some kind of argument to defend himself as I slipped on a large t-shirt that went to just above my knees and some leggings. I put my hair up in a loose bun as not to deal with it until it dried a bit. I opened the door and returned into my new room to find Tamaki mumbling to himself in the corner of the room. I shook my head before moving and sitting in front of him on the ground.

"Lori is so mean…" He muttered staring at his hands in his lap.

"How about some dinner, René?" I asked, calling him by his French name. His face immediately snapped up to look at me in surprise.

"Lorraine…" He whispered.

"Come on," I smiled, grabbing his hands and standing up with him, "I need you to show me where the kitchen is." I dragged him out of the bedroom and into the hallway.

"Is that my old shirt?" He asked, moving to walk beside me and inspecting the shirt.

"Possibly, it turned up in my closet one day, I was never really sure where it came from. It is certainly long enough to have been yours with how freaking tall you are." I replied, looking down at the soft fabric.

"I was wondering where it disappeared to. I thought I lost it in the move." He said.

"Well, you're not getting it back. It's my favorite." I told him sternly. He laughed a bit as we walked down the stairs.

"Okay~ It's yours." He laughed. I smiled up at him as I stepped off the soft carpet and onto freezing tile. I jumped a bit in surprise at the cold.

"Huh? Are you okay?" He asked.

"I forgot shoes… It's okay, it's just cold." I smiled up at him trying to reassure him everything was fine. A moment later, I was scooped up into Tamaki's arms and he kept walking across the cold floor.

"It's not that much farther, I'll ask for someone to bring you some slippers when we get to the dining room." I blushed a bit, feeling his heartbeat.

"I—I'm really okay you nut!" I said, trying to get out of his grasp. He simply held me tighter.

"A gentleman never lets a lady walk on cold ground." He replied simply.

"You've become much more polite since we were in France." I told him, looking up at his face. I noticed how his features had become more sharply defined and he seemed much more mature.

"I've always been polite!" He whined.

"What about that time you stole my teddy bear?" I asked him.

"W—Well… You stole my shirt!" He snapped back, "Plus at least I've never hit you." I laughed, thinking about how I slapped him earlier.

"I kissed it better didn't I?"

"It still hurts." He frowned. I rolled my eyes before shifting in his arms to move up and kiss his cheek again. I felt his skin warm under my lips.

"Better?" I asked, looking up into his eyes. He stumbled a bit, almost dropping me in the process.

"Ah! Sorry Lori!" He said quickly, holding tightly to me. I was gripping his uniform shirt, terrified that I was going to fall.

"What is going on here?" A voice asked. Tamaki turned to where we were facing an older woman with a stern face.

"Ah Shima. I was wondering where you were." My friend smiled brightly at the woman.

"Who is this young woman you are toting around master Tamaki?" She asked.

"This is Miss Adele Lorraine Robin Bellerose," He replied using my full name, "She was my closest friend growing up and will be staying with us for awhile." The woman made a discontent face. I struggled to climb out of Tamaki's arms. Once my feet were on the cold ground, I bowed deeply toward the woman.

"It is very nice to meet you Shima." I said.

"At least she is polite." The woman whispered to herself, "Tamaki, have you gotten permission from the main house to allow her to stay here?" He froze, apparently forgetting to ask if I could stay here.

"I can find somewhere else to stay if it is too much trouble to stay here." I told her, preparing to go repack my bags.

"No!" Tamaki spoke up, "You will stay here. Shima, father has known her and her family for years, I am sure that he will have no problem with her staying."

"Alright young master. Please enjoy your dinner." She replied before walking off.

"Upsidaisy!" Tamaki said, lifting me off the ground once more, "I wouldn't want your feet to freeze."

"I'm okay!" I struggled to get down again, but he refused to let me go.
