"Such a long day." I sighed as we got out of the car in front of Tamaki's home.

"It was a good day though, wouldn't you say?" He smiled down at me as I walked through the front door.

"Definitely!" I grinned.

"Oh, Master Tamaki. Welcome home." Shima greeted as we walked inside. I bowed at her in greeting as Tamaki said hello back, "Your father called Tamaki. He wants to take you and Miss Lorraine to dinner after he heard that she was here. He will be by at 7-o-clock to pick you both up. You'll find an appropriate dress in your room Miss Lorraine."

"A—Alright. I'll go get changed." I stuttered, before walking upstairs. I was surprised that I would be invited to such a thing. Whenever Tamaki's father would visit France I usually wouldn't see him for a few days because he wouldn't leave his dad's side. I spent my fair share of time with him as well, but I felt as though a nice dinner should be just for family.

I somehow made it to my room without any guiding from Tamaki and found a long, strapless, burgundy evening gown hanging up. I touched the soft fabric delicately in disbelief of how beautiful it was. I quickly stripped out of the horrid uniform and slipped the gown over my head. The fabric descended to the floor, hugging my body tightly. There was a long slit over my left leg that ended just above the middle of my thigh. I pulled the fabric tight over my chest and quickly realized it would be too tight with a bra on so I quickly discarded the undergarment. I couldn't quite reach the zipper at the angle I needed, so I left the back of the gown open while I went to the bathroom to do my hair and make up. I did my hair in a formal up-do, leaving a few curled pieces of hair down to frame my face. I matched my lipstick to the dark red color of the dress and put on a light shade of eye shadow.

"Lori, are you decent?" I heard Tamaki ask from the bedroom.

"Yah! You have good timing too, can you help me zip of this dress?" I asked as I walked out of the bathroom, holding the fabric close to my chest in an attempt to not make him uncomfortable. I found him standing in my room in a dark suit with a stripped tie. I smiled at him before turning around to show him where the zipper was. Needless to say, my overdramatic friend turned bright red at the sight of me in a form-fitting gown and I assumed probably more so at the sight of my exposed back.

"O—Okay." He replied walking to where I was standing. I could feel his warm hand shaking against my back as he slowly pulled the zipper up. As soon as I felt his hand leave my dress I tried to take a step forward to turn to face and thank him, but I quickly felt myself pulled backward to where his chest was pressing against my back.

"T—Tamaki…?" I shivered, startled a bit. He had one arm was placed around my shoulders while the other wrapped around my torso, his hand resting on my hip.

"I don't know if I can let you leave this house looking this beautiful." He whispered, his head resting of my bare shoulder, "I don't know what I would do if you caught the attention of some man who wanted to steal you away from me."

"Q—Quit joking around, Tamaki." I said with a smile to try and stop myself from turning bright red. He turned me in his arms, keeping his arm around my torso, his hand now on my lower back, but moved his arm from my shoulders to rest his other hand on my cheek. I felt my heart rate increase as only a few inches separated my best friend and I. He was staring deeply into my eyes. My breath hitched as I suddenly had the urge to move forward and close the space between us. I… I wanted to kiss my best friend. And from the look in his eyes, it felt as though he wanted to do the same thing.

"WHERE IS MY BEAUTIFUL SON!?" A loud sing-song voice echoed through the house causing us to break apart quickly.

"Dad!" Tamaki called excitedly.

"G—go on ahead, I'm just going to grab my shoes, I'll be right down." I stuttered, smiling up at him and trying to force my blush to fade. He smiled back before running out of the room like a child on Christmas morning. I took a deep breath trying to steady myself as I put on a pair of high heels. What the fuck was that? I thought before walking out of my bedroom.
