Beep Beep.

I sat up and stretched, unhappy to have been awakened. I unplugged my phone and began to get ready for school. As I had gotten ready for bed last night, I made sure to lay out my school uniform and pack my backpack.

I buttoned my shirt and tied my tie. Then I pulled on my jacket and my backpack. Next, I jogged downstairs and grabbed an apple and an orange to satisfy my hunger. Finally, I walked out to where the limo was waiting for me.

"Good morning, Mister Kyoya," the driver greeted.

"Good morning. Ouran Academy, please," I requested.

"Of course." And just like that, the limo drove away from the mansion. I drummed quietly on my knee until my phone abruptly shattered the peaceful silence. I sighed and held the phone to my ear.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Kyoya? It's Tamaki!" The caller announced.

"So I gathered," I dead panned.

"Are you on your way to school?" He questioned.

"Yes."

"Are you okay? No injuries or anything?"

"Tamaki, I'm fine."

"Well, I wanted to be a good friend and make sure. Especially after yesterday! And I'm so sorry! I tried to stop them, I really really did! But the twins...well, they stole your notebook! They haven't opened it yet, but-" he rambled.

"You aren't sure how much time we have left until they do," I completed.

"Exactly." I could imagine his short nod of confirmation. "So I'll see you when you get here. I'll be waiting outside the school."

"Tamaki, I know for a fact that you're not even close to the school right now," I declared. "You haven't even left your house yet."

"What?! I'll be there!" He argued. "How do you know I'm not at school already, just not out front?"

"I can hear your dog barking, and the maids are cleaning."

"Wow, losing your glasses must have improved your hearing or something!" He exclaimed.

"I doubt it. I'll see you soon," I stated. "Oh, and my sister wanted me to give you a surprise."

"A surprise?! What is it?!" He questioned. Like a child. He really is like a child.

"The surprise, Tamaki, is a surprise. You'll find out at lunch. I'll be in the classroom," I informed.

"Okay, see you there! Bye!" And he hung up. I rolled my eyes.

"We're almost there, Sir," the driver called to me.

"Thank you."

The limo slowly pulled to a stop, and I got out as I usually did. I gave a slight smile at the warm sun that hit my face. But that same smile disappeared when I realized that Ouran Academy only looked like a giant pink blob. I sighed and jogged lightly up the front steps. I strolled through the hallways and entered the empty classroom. As I sat down, I noticed a smell. Similar to roses and freshly-fallen rain. I guess that's just how Ouran smells? How had I not noticed before?

It was only a few minutes before someone appeared in the doorway. Another blob of yellow sat on the figure's head.

"Kyoya!" He cried. So Tamaki could only be identified by his voice and hair. That's good information. He moved closer, and I could smell roses and tea.

"Good morning, Tamaki," I greeted.

"So nothing happened while I was gone?" He asked worriedly.

"Don't be an idiot. I'm fine," I curtly replied. He sat down in his seat to my right, pulled out his notebook, and started to doodle. I think... It was hard to tell...

As more people filed into our classroom, I noticed that they all smelled like roses and something else. It was actually kind of cool. I didn't want to tell Tamaki because he already thought I had improved hearing without my glasses. Yes, your senses do appear to improve when you take away one.

Finally, sensei entered and class started. We went through our usual morning classes and routines, with me still unable to complete any class work due to temporary blindness. The only reason I'm allowed to not turn in my homework right now is because I couldn't see the darn text book!

Eventually lunch rolled around, and Tamaki dragged me off to the lunchroom. He made us both sit down all the way in the corner. Then he produced our lunches and watched me eat. It was weird...

"Tamaki, are you feeling alright?" I questioned. It was more like, 'Dear Lord Almighty, Tamaki! Are you sane?!'

"Well, I'm just excited because you said you had a surprise for me from your sister!" He explained giddily. Ah. I see.

"Technically it's from the both of us," I clarified as I bent down to grab the Snickers bar.

"Both of you?" He inquired.

"Mostly me," I corrected as I straightened once again. "Well, she got it for me, and I wanted to share it with her, but she wanted for me to share it with you." Pause for dramatic effect. Hold out candy bar for much expected reaction.

"It's American candy," he stated in awe. "YOU'RE GOING TO SHARE IT WITH ME?!" He shrieked happily.

"You are my best friend," I shrugged nonchalantly as though he hadn't just almost blown out my eardrums.

"Thank you!" He cried and launched himself across the table for a hug, knocking all of our food on to the floor in the process. And on to me.

"TAMAKI!"

A/N: *cuddles Tamaki* You adorable little idiot! Good for you! You get some foreign candy... :)
