Hey guys. First off, don't kill me for not updating in so long, I have valid reasons

1. I started college and the interior design program at my school is very intensive and I am in the honors program, the step team, and two clubs (all while taking 17 credit hours each semester). In short, I am busy just about from when I wake up to when I go to bed.

2. I need to sleep and talk to people or I will be grumpy and lonely (not the best combination you see)

Soooo, I found a bit of time in the schedule from hell and put this bad boy up for the best readers in all of fanfictiondom (yeah, it's a word now)

On another note, I have been reading your reviews and I just had to give a shout out to them:

This was going to be a lot longer but I decided to split it up. ENJOY!

After the encounter Tamaki retreated to one of the back rooms for a few hours with Kyoya and when he returned his hair was bone straight and his eyes were a dark brown once again.

Haruhi has been on full alert since the "Code K" incident in Host Club. Anytime Tamaki came near her, she always wondered which version of him she was seeing. Was it the princely host, the kind yet flawed boy who ran his father's company, or was it the arrogant and intimidating version? She didn't understand what had happened with him but she hoped that she never met his "subconscious" again. His eyes were sending messages that Haruhi was not prepared to deal with. The twins, of course, found the entire encounter hilarious and spend every waking moment reminding her of it.

"Hahahahaha! Oh Haru-chan you should have seen your face! You looked like a little bunny that got spotted by a lion!" The twins were laughing to their hearts' content at Haruhi's expense

She glared at them, "I don't see what's so funny. He was acting weird and I didn't know how to react to it!"

As she spoke the twins fell from their chairs and were now rolling on the floor.

After laughing for several minutes, they sobered up and smiled at Haruhi. Kaoru was the first to speak. "Honestly, you did remarkably well for your first time dealing with Kai. He is really intimidating."

Haruhi tilted her head in confusion, "Kai?"

Hikaru nodded, "It's what we call Tamaki's subconscious. We gave him another name because he is so different from the Prince that we felt he was another person."

Kaoru smiled softly, "Don't be too embarrassed about how you reacted though. My first experience with Kai was much worse I assure you."

Haruhi wanted to respect his privacy but she was dying to know what happened. Luckily for her, Kaoru elaborated.

It was about a month after me and Hikaru joined the Host Club. I had a huge crush on Tamaki at the time:

"Kaoru, I love your outfit today!" The girls squealed.

Kaoru blushed. He still wasn't used to receiving compliments. Since Tamaki's little stunt on his bullies, everyone has been nice to him. I guess being friends with the Prince had its perks.

The theme for today was Punk. Kaoru was put into very tight leather pants that he almost couldn't breathe in and a long sleeved shirt that had cuts all the way down the sides. He felt uncomfortable in it, but he didn't let it show.

He smiled, "Thank you ladies, you are looking especially beautiful today as well."

He fought to keep his eyes from rolling when they squealed again. Why did girls feel the need to squeal like pigs? He never understood that.

A few minutes later, Tamaki walked in the door, hair disheveled and curly. Kaoru felt his heartbeat pick up. Why did he have to be so gorgeous? He smiled, "Hi boss, how are you?"

Tamaki turned his gaze to him and Kaoru almost fainted from the heat he found there. Tamaki looked like he was going to eat him. Kaoru's stomach tightened in anticipation.

Tamaki smirked and walked slowly toward him. His body moved like a panther, gracefully and sensual, like he was caressing the air. His eyes seemed more exotic, slanted with long lashes and filled with more heat than one person should have the right to possess. Kaoru had never seen Tamaki like this before. Maybe he returned his feelings? Kaoru's mouth went dry with the thought. He had fallen in love with Tamaki the moment he stood up for him. Hikaru thought that it was just because he was the first guy to pay him any kind of attention but Kaoru knew that it was more than that. He was in love and Tamaki might return his feelings. He was elated.

Tamaki reached his table and smiled, his perfect teeth flashing in the light. "I am doing much better now that you are here gorgeous."

Kaoru almost spit out the tea he was sipping. His eyes widened, he couldn't even hear the girls squealing behind him, and he only had eyes for Tamaki.

"Y-y-you t-hink I-I'm g-..?"He couldn't even say the word.

Tamaki moved closer to him and turned him around toward the girls. He pressed his body to his back and moved his arms to circle his waist. He rested his head on his shoulder and pulled him in closer. Kaoru could feel the proof of his appreciation on his lower back.

"Everyone does. Ladies doesn't Kaoru look sexy?" Tamaki moved his hot gaze to the girls and they squealed again but Kaoru hardly heard a thing, his heart was beating too loud in his ears.

"Yes, Kaoru looks really hot!" Tamaki nodded slowly, his hair tickling Kaoru's body all the way down his back. He should not be this turned on right now. These pants would hide nothing.

Tamaki moved his lips to ear, "I think you are the sexiest thing I have ever seen. If we were alone right now, I would fuck you senseless. I can't wait to hear you scream my name. I bet you are stunning when you come."His hands slid down his sides, calluses catching on his bare skin to rest on his hips. As he said come, one hand moved back to grab his ass.

Kaoru shrieked in shock and turned around. "T-Tamaki, I – I don't know what to say."

Tamaki smirked, "I have that effect on people."

He pulled Kaoru into him and kissed him. Not a peck, a full kiss. His teeth softly bit down on Kaoru's lower lip and pulled it into his own mouth. Kaoru fought back a moan at the feeling. His pants were painful now. Tamaki only kissed him harder and moved an arm around the small of his back. He pushed forward until Kaoru was parallel to the floor and claimed his mouth. He moved his other hand to Kaoru's ass and squeezed. Kaoru couldn't hold back his moan this time and he blushed because it was so loud. Tamaki smirked in the kiss and released his lips. He slowly straightened and took Kaoru with him. He was in a bit of a daze

Tamaki's smirked widened and he pulled Kaoru in for one last toe curling kiss. "You are an amazing kisser gorgeous. I'll see you later." He winked and walked away.

Kaoru could barely breathe. That was his first kiss. That was also the hottest thing he had ever felt. After he cooled down a bit, he felt sheer happiness spread through him. Tamaki returned his feelings! He fought a squeal of his own.

Finally, things were going his way.

"I followed him around like a lovesick puppy for two weeks before he figured it out. He never remembers what he did while he was Kai so he had no idea why I was so clingy. He didn't understand until I tried to kiss him after school. He asked me to repeat everything that happened."

"Kaoru, that wasn't me. I am so sorry for what I did. I have a strange condition that makes my subconscious become my conscious for a while. It happens when I am stressed. I had just gotten a call from my father about the company. I'm so sorry I did that to you."

Kaoru fought back tears, "So, we're not a couple?"

Tamaki pulled him into a hug, "I'm afraid not. I'm so sorry. I know that that was your first kiss, but I want to make it up to you."

Kaoru looked up at him, "How?"

Tamaki smiled and leaned in. Kaoru closed his eyes in anticipation.

This kiss was completely different. It was soft and tender. Tears built in his eyes at how loved it made him feel. However, just as soon as it started, it ended.

Kaoru just stared, "So, are you gay?"

Tamaki chuckled, "No. My family is very fluid when it comes to sexuality. If I am attracted to someone, I chase them, boy or girl. I guess if I were to put a label on it, I would say I'm bisexual."

Kaoru smiled slightly, "Thank you Tamaki."

He smiled, "You deserve the best Kaoru, you have a big heart and one day you are going to find the perfect guy to shower in all of the love I know you have and they will do the same. You are special and don't you ever settle for anything less that the best."

Kaoru couldn't hold back the tears this time. He rushed forward and wrapped his arms around him. "Arigatou."

Tamaki wrapped his arms around him tightly. "I'm sorry I didn't address this sooner, I've known about your crush for a while now, but I didn't want to hurt you."

Kaoru laughed, "No, you handled it perfectly."

"After that, I got over my crush on him. I may not be in love with him anymore, but Tamaki is my best friend."

Haruhi nodded, Kaoru's story was kind of beautiful. It only reinforced her belief that Tamaki was some kind of god reincarnated in human form. He took a very delicate situation and turned it into something that both parties could agree with and no hurt feelings became of it. It was no wonder that he ran his father's company. Such a skill was indispensable in the corporate world. His employees must worship the ground he walks on.

Haruhi smiled, "Why does every story you tell me about Tamaki make him sound like a character in a harlequin romance novel?"

Hikaru smirked, "Didn't you know Haru-chan? The Prince is a harlequin romance character."

She couldn't hold back her laugh at that. "I'm sure."

The café was really busy today. Haruhi hardly found time to breathe while cooking all of the orders that were coming in. She couldn't get the story that the twins had told her out of her head. Tamaki handled the situation perfectly. But there was one thing that surprised her. He was bisexual. Has he had a boyfriend before, or even a girlfriend? She couldn't picture him with anyone. She didn't think that anyone matched up to him.

"Haru- chan, you have been cooking for three hours straight. Go ahead and have some dinner. I'll cover for you for a while." Hana said.

Haruhi smiled, "Thank you Hana-chan."

She hung up her apron and grabbed her bento. She made her way to the tables in the front of the café and fought back a smile when she saw Tamaki.

He looked so relaxed. His hair was bone straight and pulled over one shoulder as he typed away at his laptop. He was wearing a tight shirt that accentuated his lithe figure perfectly and a pair of loose sweatpants. He had a pair of glasses perched on his nose. He looked gorgeous.

Haruhi slowly made her way to him. He didn't look up but she felt his awareness nonetheless.

"Can I sit with you?"

This time he did look up. His eyes were dark again. Maybe he really was wearing contacts that day. That purple blue color looked beautiful on him though.

"Of course."

He made to close his laptop but Haruhi protested. "Don't stop on my account. I don't want to distract you."

He smiled and looked up at her from under those inhumanely long eyelashes. Who had eyelashes that long? He had to know that his eyes were lethal weapons on anyone.

"Maybe I want to be distracted."

Haruhi had to take a sip of her tea as her throat went dry at the flirty tone of his voice. Was this Kai?

Tamaki chuckled, "Sorry, I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable. It's just that I can afford to take a break. I kind of came here with an ulterior motive. I wanted to talk to you about what happened during Host Club. I'm sorry about that."

Haruhi shook her head, "It's alright. You can't control when it happens. Besides, Kaoru told me his story with Kai and I feel like I had it so much easier."

Tamaki threw his head back, bringing attention to his long neck and let out a laugh that made Haruhi's heart drop in her stomach. How did he make a laugh sound so sexy?

"The twins love to tell that story. I can't believe that I did that to Kaoru. I still feel bad about it. I feel like I took advantage of him because Kai knew that he had a crush and exploited it."

Haruhi tilted her head in confusion, "Did you have any feelings for Kaoru?"

He smiled, "Not romantically, I always thought Kaoru was beautiful, but I only saw him as a good friend. Kaoru is too good for me."

Haruhi grinned, "I'm pretty sure no one is too good for you."

Tamaki blushed slightly and Haruhi couldn't help but think that it was the cutest thing ever. "Au contraire, there are plenty of people who are too good for me. That school puts me on a pedestal, I never understood why. I'm nothing special."

Haruhi fought a swoon as he assumed a French accent. Tamaki was kryptonite. She couldn't let herself get too attached to him. There was no way he would return her feelings. He was completely out of her league and she knew it. He was a god and she was a mere mortal who wasn't worth his time.

But why did she want his attention so much?

She was falling for him and there was nothing she could do to stop it.

Oh shit.

This is definitely my favorite story I've written so far as I feel it shows my writing style the best so please tell me what you think! Every comment I get helps me improve my writing skills and make this story (and all of the others I've been doing) so much better.
