I love your little world, enveloped in love and light.

Admittedly, I could do without the light, but I can ignore it if that's what it takes to co-exist with you.

I will forget about everything that makes me a different being from you. I want us to become one person, to live together in harmony and for you to never leave my side.

Tamaki Suoh, I love you…

Tamaki Suoh…

Tamaki Suoh…

---~*~---

That day…that day was it. I was going make my move. Right then.

I stood and took a deep breath. Tamaki was all alone in the music room, cleaning up after a day of servicing the female half of the student body. I placed my hand on the door knob, but quickly retrieved it to grab the hood of my cloak and pull it firmly over my head. I replaced my hand and began to turn the knob.

The knob squeaked a little, and it startled Tamaki. He turned and for a second I thought he could see me; see right into my mind and soul and my very being.

I held my breath.

Tamaki shrugged and went back to picking up whatever the odd thing he was picking up was.

I let my breath out in a sigh. With all my courage built up, I opened the door and marched straight up to Tamaki.

He turned and looked at me, startled. "Neko-Nekozawa-sempai? Are you…is something the matter?" He asked, glancing around to room, probably looking for help, I guessed. He then took a small glance at my right hand to check for Beelzenev. Of course I hadn't brought it; I knew it scared the taller man.

Tamaki sighed and relaxed a little when he saw it was not present.

I blushed a bit, at a loss for words. "I-uh…How are you?" I asked, sheepishly.

Tamaki let a small laugh stumble from his lips before he uttered, "Hungry and sleepy."

I nodded and took a step back, realizing how 'in his bubble' I was. "Well…we could go get something to eat…together." I proposed shyly. I blushed, "I was going out anyway…" I added

Tamaki only stared at me and I thought for sure he was going to turn me down and laugh in my face. Some part of me knew he wasn't the type to do something as inhuman as that, but I still worried. My worries only disappeared when he smiled and said, "Sure!"

Then we were gone.

I was thrilled. A date! Tamaki had accepted a date with me!

Well, to me it was as much of a date as I needed. To him this was me buying him food, but maybe he secretly wished it a date also.

The same thought kept running through my head as we found a table and the waiter brought us a menu then took up the drink orders: If I'm fixing the 'hungry' part of how he was feeling, will I also fix the 'tired' part? Will he end up sleeping at my house?

I hoped so. But I didn't hope for him to just come and crash on my couch. No, that's not what I wanted at all.

I wanted him to sleep in my bed with me after we stay up till at least three A.M. doing…things, if you catch my drift.

Tamaki noticed I was a little out of it as I thought about him and myself doing those types of things together and waved a hand in front of my face, saying my name to snap me out of the trance he apparently thought I was in.

"What's wrong?" He had asked. "You invited me here and now you're just going to zone out like that?"

"Oh, sorry." I said, "I guess I just…have a lot on my mind, that's all." I replied, blushing slightly.

"I know how that is…" He said, staring off into the distance. But I had a sneaking suspicion that the Host Club King in fact did not know how it felt, considering his mind seemed to run free unlike everyone else's.

Tamaki looked me in the eyes, "Nekozawa…is this lunch or a date?" He asked seemingly out of nowhere. It caught me off guard and I stuttered.

"I-um…it's whatever you want it to be, I guess." I said hopefully.

"Well then, it's lunch." He said and my heart plummeted, "Because on our first date, I will be the one to do the asking." He added.

I looked up. What? What did he say? It made me smile and the blush grow farther across my face.

Tamaki smiled and my heart felt like popping from my chest.

Am I finally being loved back?

Finally loved sincerely and genuinely by Tamaki Suoh?

A love different than he gives the girls that visit him in the Host Club.

Real love?
