Preparing for the Host Club, Yuki was a bit saddened. A couple days ago, he offered Taro an invite, but unfortunately he couldn't make it. He said he was busy doing other things, so Yuki had to handle the fact that his new crush was not going to show up. He was going to be fine. After all, the ladies would keep him company. Not to mention Nekozawa would be joining if he had the chance to give him an invite. So he could still have some fun. He would just need to find the opportune moment. He sat down once everything was set, and started sketching in his notepad of what he saw.

Honey Senpai watched him working, and decided to watch his handiwork. "I love seeing your art Yuki-chan! You should make a portrait of all of us someday... but then you wouldn't be in it. Maybe a mirror could include you?" Yuki responded by lightly pinching his lips together. "Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to talk too much." Yuki responded by smiling, and ruffling his hair. Mori then lifted him, to help set up the tea set.

He looked at the twins, and decided they would be his handsome models. He looked at them, and sketched them carefully. Now he knew that Hikaru was quite straight as far as he himself could tell, but Kaoru... Kaoru was more in the gray. He dropped his pride, and walked over. "Can I talk to you Kaoru?"

Hikaru snickered. "Come to ask us for pointers?" He chuckled.

Yuki shook his head. "No, I just want to talk to Kaoru." He said motioning him out of the room. Kaoru looked surprised, but nodded, leaving his brother to wait inside. He followed Yuki out. He hadn't seen him this serious since the whole incident in the city. He stood outside the door, and Yuki took a deep breath. "Kaoru. I know that this whole brotherly love thing is just a tactical thing you and your brother use, but are you... I mean... do you like boys too?" He felt his face burn. He couldn't believe he asked that question. "I mean if a boy had asked for you and your brother... like if Taro asked for you both... would you accept him?"

At this Kaoru felt something fishy was up. Was Yuki trying to passively ask a question? "Are you asking if I'm gay?" He huffed. "Why should I answer that?" He puffed up his cheeks. Such nerve Yuki had.

"To know whether or not I'm alone." When Yuki said this Kaoru looked totally taken by surprise. Yuki looked as vulnerable as a turtle with no shell. Kaoru never had to deal with such a tender and honest response. Not something he prepped for. He was the mischievious type for crying out loud! Not the pour your heart and soul right in front of him type. He noticed he was being quiet for far too long.

He took a step closer. "Does anybody else know?" He asked laying a hand on his shoulder.

"Only Kyouya, and now you." He slid down, sitting on the hard floor. "I need to sit down. My heart is racing." Kaoru never saw anybody so horrified of coming out of the closet as much as Yuki, but seeing how distant his father was from him, he could understand why he would keep it from him.

Kaoru took a chance, and hugged Yuki, enclosing his arms around the small albino.

Yuki's body relaxed into the touch. He leaned against him, and felt at ease. He knew he could trust him. He buried his face into his suit, and rested there. He returned the hug, and felt warmth when Kaoru pulled him closely, stroking his hair.

Tamaki realized that he was missing two hosts, and decided to see where they were. He reached for the door knob, and was ready to turn it, but heard quiet words on the other side of the door. He leaned in, pressing his ear to the door to listen in.

Yuki smiled, and felt himself shaking. "Sorry I'm shaking. I've never told any of my friends or family about being gay."

Tamaki's face went pale. He just heard something he was not supposed to hear. So his precious little rookie was... a gay boy? He knew it was an idiotic move on his part, but he listened in further to get some more information on what else Yuki was hiding.

"Have you even had your first kiss, yet?" Kaoru asked.

The albino simply shook his head. "No. I don't want to waste it on somebody that I'm unsure about." Yuki had not met any other gay guys, unless Taro counted but with those sorts of guys you never really knew for sure.

Kaoru bit his lip. If he did this now, he knew there would be no going back to how things use to be. "Well, do you trust me?" He asked. Before Yuki could ask what he meant, he leaned in, and planted a tender kiss onto Yuki's lips. Yuki's eyes widened. He never been kissed like this before. He tried to relax, and laid his hands on Kaoru's shoulders. Upon pulling away his face was beet red, and his eyes matched. He didn't know what else to say, so he just leaned into him, and smiled.

"I don't want you telling anybody else." He said seriously. "Just you and me. Don't let Kyouya know I told you."

At this Kyouya. "Not a soul. Not even my brother." He smiled rubbing his shoulder. "I'm glad you told me. It's best it be me, and not some total creep that kissed you first, ya know?" He smiled widely.

Tamaki pulled away from the door, and took few steps back. He slowly walked back to his couch. How could he not know Yuki was gay? Even more so, how could he listen in on such a personal matter. He didn't know what to process first. A thousand thoughts were running through his head. He had an obligation to this club. He had to be there for all of them. Yuki included. He had to be there for him, but also pretend he didn't know. It was a hollow, and hopeless feeling. Now on top of that, he had to keep a secret. A secret he wasn't suppose to hear. He looked up when the two walked in.

"There you two are. I was wondering where you two went." He said trying to sound casual.

"Bathroom." They both said.
