It wuz the night of the prom and Tamaki and Gianna were going together in Tamaki's limosine. Tamaki wuz looking really smexy in his tux and Gianna wuz incredibly beautiful in her Versachi dress. In fact, Mr. Versachi wanted Gianna to come be a model for him but she said no because models are stupid sluts and Gianna is far too sofisticated for that.
The school looked really nice with lights and streamers made of solid gold and big posters of Tamaki and Gianna everywhere because they've been voted Best Cuple Eva!
Then they went inside and everyone cheered and Gianna's ninja squad came out of their ninja shadows to ninja clap for Gianna. Then they went back into ninja hiding.
"Oh, Tamaki," says Gianna," I'm so happy. I love you!"
"I love you too Gianna, more than anything else in the world combined!"
And then they kissed and the ninja DJ played Alejandro because Gianna likes that song better then Dance in the Dark now.
Then they danced some more and Hikaru and Kaoru danced with some people and so did Honey and Mory but Kyoya didn't because he's staring at Gianna and he's Kyoya and Kyoya doesn't dance.
So then the ninja DJ said. "Everyone quiet, it's time to pick the prom king and queen."
Then there was a drum roll and everyone waited with baited breathe. The announcer guy opened the enevelope.
"And the winners are… Tamaki and Gianna!"
Everyone cheered and Gianna wuz so happy that she jumped into Tamaki's arms and he carried her to the stage where they got there crowns and the other hosts congrajewlated them.
"And hear are the crowns for the king and queen."
The annoucner guy gave Tamaki his crown and he put it on his head. Then he took the other crown and went to Gianna. They looked at each other with so much loving and passionate that everyone fainted from the awesomeness but they woke up in time to see Gianna get her crown so don't worry.
Tamaki reached up and started to put the crown on her head in slow motion! But then the doors opened again!
"Stop!" shouted a bitchy voice.
It was Haruhi! Back to ruin Tamaki's life with her crapiness. Everyone booed and Haruhi ran to the stage and grabbed the crown.
"This crown should be for me," she screamed stupid bitchily. "Tamaki luvs mee not u u bitch!"
"Haruhi," Tamaki was really pissed off now and wanted to stangle Haruhi (but he wouldn't because he's too nice but he totally shouldn't be right now!) "You're such a moron and a bitch. I never liked you, I just pretending because you're a commoner and I felt bad. But your a bitch so I don't feel bad anymore.
"But I louve you!" Whoreuhi shriekd and people threw tomatoes at her.
"Well, I only love one girl!" Tamaki proclamed. "And only that girl can wear this crown!"
He grabed the crown back from Haruhi. She looked at him with sadness but he didn't care.
'Haruhi is so stooped,' Tamaki think. 'She's so dumb with her thinking that I love her. Like she's ugly and her hari is stupid and her eyes are all buggish and cute and… cute? Wait why would I think that…'
"What?"
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
'Huh? Where am I? What- Why am I doing this?'
'Remember, none of it is real!'
'Who said that…? Real, it's not… not…'
"Senpai?"
"HARUHI!"
Tamaki screamed and fell to his knees, he heard collective gasps, but no one moved to see what was wrong or said a single word. The silence was creeping him out, until the memories of all that had happened to him began to come back.
Tamaki shot to his feet, eyes darting at the audience who stood stock still in a rather unnatural manner. He turned to Haruhi and felt a rush of awful emotions upon seeing the conspicuous handprint on her beautiful face.
'Oh, Haruhi,' his mind was sobbing. 'I'm sorry. So, so, so sorry. I'll never hurt you again, my love.'
"Tamaki!" A voice whined in his ear. "Why aren't you giving me the crown?"
Cringing, Tamaki turned to Gianna, who looked quite a bit less attractive now than when he was in his trance. That hair and those eyes and pretty much all of her was just unnatural. He felt the weight of the crown in his hand and rubbed his finger against the jewel in the center.
"Because," he began. From her vantage point, Tamaki's eyes were completely covered by his hair, and the flat tone of his voice left her with no way of knowing where this was going. "Only the girl I love can wear this crown."
He looked at Haruhi. Her teeth were grit and her eyes were wild in a way that was so much NOT his Haruhi, but even so, he knew she was in there, somewhere behind this hate fueled persona she'd been given by an angry fan. He only hoped this would be enough to bring her true self back out.
With a loving smile, Tamaki approached Haruhi and, in front of all his hypnotized friends and possibly some very confused fangirl sitting before a computer screen, placed the crown on her head.
"You, Haruhi," he said warmly. "I love you more than anything in the world. You're absolutely right, this crown belongs to you. The REAL you."
She gasped, but not in an overdramatic way like everyone else in this story did. There was real, genuine amazement written all over her face. With her mouth open just a tiny bit, she looked so much more like the Haruhi he knew, and Tamaki's heart soared.
He pressed a kiss to her forehead and wrapped an arm around her shoulder as he turned to face Gianna.
"I'm sorry, Gianna," he said, his smile becoming sad. "You're a beautiful, smart, wonderful person. You really are perfect in every way, and it's for this reason that you and I could never be."
Gianna blinked, and Tamaki had to wonder how much of what he was seeing in her was still Gianna, and how much was Kate taking back control.
"Because… I'm perfect?" She repeated, completely awestruck.
Tamaki nodded. "You see, I'm notperfect. I'm overemotional, I'm naïve to a fault and I act like a child, I know and accept that part of myself."
He pulled Haruhi tighter to him.
"Haruhi is too blunt for her own good and never lets herself have too much fun in life. She needs to lighten up and learn to relax and have friends. We're both flawed people and real or not, that's what makes us human. When we're together, Haruhi and I can learn from each other's strengths and faults, and we can create a balance between us. That is something I would never trade for mere perfection."
He watched Gianna's face go through a plethora of different emotions. In the complete silence, he could hear every little noise that came out of her mouth as well as the heavy breathing of Haruhi beside him.
He was surprised that Haruhi hadn't said anything yet. In her current state, he'd have assumed that she would start to gloat at Gianna or something, but she'd been oddly quiet. Tamaki looked down and found her staring aimlessly at Gianna, almost as if she were sleeping with her eyes open.
"Haruhi?" Tamaki cautiously spoke.
Like she was electrocuted, Haruhi jumped and took in a deep breath. Blinking her adorable eyes in confusion, she glanced up at her senpai, tilting her head to one side.
"Senpai?" She said. "What's going on?"
Unfortunately for her (or maybe not) Tamaki was too busy hugging her and crying into her shoulder to give any kind of answer. The contact made her tense up, but she didn't pull away.
Only when he heard Gianna give a sigh did Tamaki finally let go and look at her again. She was smirking and fingering her wrist where the bracelet rested unseen.
"That's it," she declared with a shrug. "The End."
The vortex's appearance was instantaneous, as was Tamaki's reaction to it.
"Kyoya!" He shouted to his bewildered and only just 'waking up' best friend. "Everyone, follow me."
"Tamaki, what-"
"Don't ask questions," he ordered, pulling Haruhi to the vortex after Gianna. "Just come on, I'll explain on the way!"
The Vice President's jaw was hanging open. Lucky for him, only his indifferent secretary could see him right now, but it was hardly consolation for what he'd just read on TamakinGagalurver's profile:
'I've decided to cancel an take down Tamaki and Gianna n luv 4eva! It got all weird like the story wuz running away from me or something lol. Plus, I don't realy like Ouran anymore. I just luv Black Butler now! Sebastian is soooooooooooooooo hawt and smexy and awesome! Lol. So look out for my new story where Sebastian finds love with a beautiful angel named Titiana! It'll be called 'Sebastian and Titiana 4ever and ever and ever with love and happiness!'
Not only that, refreshing the page revealed she'd changed her username to 'Sebbyswife4eva'.
Sweating profusely, the Vice- President looked pleadingly to his secretary.
"Joan, does Black Butler have a contract with us?"
The vortex reopened before he got an answer. The Vice President felt his heart sink when Tamaki Suoh stepped out with Haruhi Fujioka, followed closely by Kyoya Ootori and the rest of the Ouran main characters. Kate Forrest was the last one out, still in her now useless Gianna Tsuki dress.
"Hello again, Mr. Vice-President!" Tamaki greeted him cheerfully. "I've brought the rest of the club, so we can go ahead with that contract now, right?"
"Uh…" was all that the large man could say.
The Host Club was lounging around in the club room after hours. Really, they all should have gone home long ago as evidenced by the full moon hanging in the sky. Traveling between universes seemed to mess with your perception of time.
The process of getting a contract set up had taken several hours and a lot of explaining on the parts of Kate and Jared, whom Kate had caught wandering around the cafeteria and forced to come along and apologize to Tamaki. Once that was done, Kyoya took over most of the negotiations, and proved once and for all why he was the Shadow King, spinning circles around the Vice-President's head and leaving him a crying mess when all was said and done.
The club had agreed to play themselves in General fics and Canon pairing fics only. The last one was a bit difficult considering only Tamaki and Haruhi had love interests, but that was solved with a clause proposed by Kyoya, stating that he and the rest of the un-paired off club members would have the option of using a stunt double in the event of a Tamaki/Haruhi fic that paired them with someone they didn't want. Such as each other.
"I really don't see why you're making such a big deal about this," Kyoya sighed exasperatedly at the twins, who were sitting as far away from each other as possible and shaking as if they'd just watched a particularly scary movie. "You've been doing your twincest act for all this time, did you really expect no one to take it even a little bit seriously?"
"I feel sick," Hikaru muttered to himself.
"I feel dirty," Kaoru whimpered, wrapping his arms around his body.
Kyoya pinched the bridge of his nose, trying to keep his frustration in check.
"It amazes me that none of you are more bothered by the fact that we technically aren't real."
"That's not really a big deal," Haruhi shrugged. "I mean, haven't we been breaking the fourth wall around here since day one?"
Nobody could deny that one.
Tamaki, meanwhile, sat away from his friends staring out the window. Like them, he had a lot of things on his mind at the moment, including but not limited to his last talk with Kate before leaving the 'real world.'
**
"We had a pretty crazy adventure, huh?" Kate joked as she and Tamaki stood before the vortex that would be taking the latter home. "It was nice to meet you for real, Tamaki."
"You as well," Tamaki smiled charmingly. "No offense, but you're much more pleasant company as yourself than as someone like Gianna."
"Oh, believe me," Kate answered flatly. "No offense taken."
Tamaki nodded and glanced at the slightly intimidating portal. He heard Kate gave a soft sigh and looked at her again.
"So, you and Haruhi an item yet?"
Tamaki blushed so hard, his entire face turned comically red. "W-well, I'd say that for the writers to decide."
"Not always," Kate shook her head, flashing an odd sort of smile. "They don't really control you, you're still your own person no matter what they do."
Kate then looked away and coughed nervously, bringing up a hand to rub the back of her neck.
"Besides I… I kinda ship you two."
Tamaki blinked. "Ship?"
Kate just laughed softly and guided Tamaki to the vortex. "Don't worry about it, just tell Haruhi how you feel when you get back, okay?"
**
The conversation was still fresh in his mind. He'd been sucked into the vortex before anymore could be said, but at least he knew what kind of answer he'd wanted to give. The problem wasn't so much how he really felt about Haruhi, because he knew that now. The question now was how did she feel about him?
"Senpai?"
Tamaki immediately sat up straight and at attention. It was time to find out, it seemed.
Haruhi walked around the throne-like chair, looking down at her upperclassmen with that cute look she always wore when something was bothering her.
"What are you doing all the way over here?" She asked.
He gave a chuckle and smiled charmingly at her, knowing she wouldn't be affected by it much.
"Nothing, just thinking about some things," he answered vaguely.
This didn't seem to satisfy Haruhi, but she still nodded her head and made to leave him alone; Tamaki's hand shooting up and grabbing hers halted her movements.
"Haruhi," he said. "You don't remember anything that happened in that story, do you?"
Haruhi blinked and Tamaki nearly fainted from the cuteness of it. "No, not really. I just remember waking up with you holding me. I don't know how I got there."
Tamaki felt the cold grip of disappointment clutching his stomach, but easily covered it up with another smile.
"Oh, alright," he answered softly.
"Were you hoping I would?" Haruhi pressed.
Inwardly, Tamaki gave a sardonic laugh. Of course Haruhi had seen past his false smile. She could always see past him.
"Honestly, yes," he answered after a slight pause. "I wanted to let you know that I meant everything I said."
"Huh?"
Tamaki didn't answer that, just leaned forward and patted the seat directly across from him.
"Sit down," he requested. "It's kind of a long story."
A/N: Okay, so this is technically the end of the story, but there is an epilogue which will be posted tomorrow. Thank you to everyone who read, favorited and reviewed this story. That would mean that you actually got though the 'suefic' portions of this story and for that, you really should get a medal or something. I'm being completely sincere here. XD
So, that's the end. I may one day write a semi-original story about M.S. Corp and it's employees. Not just Kate and Jared, but others as well. I don't know, that remains to be seen. Either way, thank you again for reading and I'll see you tomorrow!
