When he was a child, still living in France, his mother would often tell him stories. Fairytales about how a prince would slay a dragon, or some other evil doer, and rescue the princess locked away in the tower. Tamaki loved listening to tale after tale of love's devotion, of how two people destined for one another and meant to be together could over come all obstacles just to be with one another. Soul mates.
When a story would end Tamaki would often look up at his mother and say that when he grew up he would find his soul mate, his other half, and be just like the princes in all those stories. He would protect her, cherish her, do just about any thing for her. His mother would simply smile and tuck him into bed, placing a kiss on his forehead.
"Find that person, and don't let them go."
Tamaki often dreamed what his soul mate would be like. If she would be pretty, if she would be kind and loving. He anticipated seeing just who she would be. Of course when he dreamed this soul mate, Tamaki failed to anticipate that she would be tall, flat chested, had raven hair, wore glasses and at times seemed to loathe him. He also did not anticipate that she would be a he.
He was calm, calculating and not very emotional.
Tamaki was loud, cheerful, not often bright, and annoying.
He believed in doing things that would otherwise benefit him and also seemed to keep his heart behind many impenterable walls.
Tamaki did things out of the goodness of his heart even if they did tend to inconvenience the victim.
And despite the fact that Tamaki annoyed the hell out of him, daily induced headaches, and pretty much made a mess of things, he was the only one that was able to get past those walls. Though, he would never admit it to any one other than him.
And despite the fact that his love would never admit it to anyone, Tamaki kept the promise he had made. He would protect him, and do every thing he could for him even when he didn't want him to and would call him an idiot for going to such unncessary measures.
He may not have anticipated his soul mate would be far from what he expected, but now that he had found him, he sure as hell wasn't going to let that person go.
"Kyo?" He says. "Do you love me?"
"Yes baka. Now go to sleep it 2 am." He responds with a smile.
"Love you too. Night-Night." Tamaki falls asleep as soon as his head hits the pillow.
