He couldn't stand to watch how she laughed.
The way she smiled.
How he placed his hand on her lower back when he noticed her getting tired of the small talk and polite laughter.
How she looked at him; with love shining in her eyes like gold chips floating atop a pool of chocolate.
Tamaki stood by a cupid ice sculpture with a champagne flute in hand, casually sipping as he watched from afar but not truly tasting its sweet flavors. He couldn't care about the chocolate covered strawberries piled beside the delicious array of sampled cakes and mouses beside him, not when his heart was breaking with bitter emotion every second he continued to watch her.
With him.
He quickly looked at the back of her neck where her baby hairs gathered beneath her full bun. A silver chain and clasp rested just beneath her nape.
The necklace he gave her was rose gold.
Tamaki sighed, peering down into his champagne before swigging the rest. The memories that have been trickling to the forefront of his mind began to pour, drowning him in beautiful moments and sweet nothings he once cherished. Now they were bitter reminders of a love he couldn't keep. He reached for his cellphone in his jacket pocket as he set the empty flute down and turned away. He opened his messages and clicked on a contact.

Alright. If you want, I can spend the rest of the evening with you after I take Haruhi home.

No it's ok. Have fun. I'll see you two tomorrow.
