Tamaki and Honey-senpai's First Date!

Tamaki tore his eyes away from the window long enough to check his watch.

So far so good- the sleek, black limo had almost arrived at the intended destination, and he was still several minutes early.

He turned his attention back to the tinted window. To his surprise, for the past while they'd been driving through the commoner part of town. He'd relayed Honey-senpai's directions to the driver exactly, so he knew they were in the right place- that being, a clearly lower-middle class area, and not one he recognized, either. Was this cake shop a commoner establishment? Well, he'd never tasted commoners' cake...

Finally the car began to slow to a stop. Gulp. Looks like this was it. He craned his neck to try and get a better view. They turned and came to a halt along the sidewalk of a road that lead up a long hill. Various small little shops lined both sides of the street. A decent number of people were milling about the area, many of them window-shopping.

Hesitantly, the prince opened the door and slowly stepped out of the car. Partly because he was more nervous than he could ever remember being in his life and was fighting off the urge to leap back into the limo and tell his driver to head straight to the airport so he could leave for America, and partly because he was genuinely afraid that if he wasn't careful, he'd move wrong somehow and his shaky legs would give out on him, sending him plummeting face-first into the concrete.

And of course, at the same time, he was excited... and happy. Part of him couldn't believe it was really happening, and it was like being in some wonderful dream. The other part of him had no doubts about the fact that it was happening but was rather skeptical of the idea that it would end well. It felt like he had two different factions of butterflies in his stomach, one side happy and the other just dreading whatever was to come, and they had gone to war. Neither side was winning, but it was still making him nauseous. And as everyone knows, keeling over and retching in the street is not something that is generally recommended you do on a first date. Explaining to your date that you were doing it out of happiness seldom helps. If you want to be a smartass, you could imply that it was because their outfit was just that hideous. Although that also seldom helps.

It wasn't as if Honey-senpai's outfit could ever be hideous, anyway. Tamaki was positive he'd look just as cute as he always did even if he were wearing nothing but an old paper bag.

… wearing nothing but a...

His face lit up like a Christmas light. He smacked himself in the head. Idiot! Pervert! This was no time for THAT!

The door slammed shut behind him. The car pulled away, taking any chance of backing out now with it, until it was just a black dot in the distance. Tamaki watched it go with a barely audible whimper.

"Oh, Tama-chan!"

Oh dear. Oh no. He wasn't ready for this...

The sound of Honey's adorable voice had come from behind him. He turned. The small boy was skipping down the street towards him, all smiles, carrying Usa-chan behind him in both hands.

A shaky smile etched it's way onto his handsome features. He wasn't faking it- he WAS happy. He was just also incredibly nervous and worried at the same time, and if he thought too far into the current situation, that smile would surely morph into a frown. Thus the end result was something less like a smile or a frown and more like a squiggle.

"Um, I, um, hope I didn't keep you waiting." He managed. He prayed that his face wasn't still red. In response, his face flushed deeper. Curse you, face! Curse you! Even if you are gorgeous!

"Hehe, don't be silly, you're early!" The older boy beamed up at him. Whether he didn't notice the fact that the other boy was blushing madly or if he was simply pretending not to notice wasn't a thought that entered Tamaki's mind. Faced with that smile, maintaining any coherent thought at all was a stretch.

"And I see you brought Kuma-chan!"

The blonde glanced down at the teddy bear in his arms. Ah yes, that...

"O-oh yeah." Tamaki sputtered. "Um, just like you asked... um, why was that again...?"

He'd been confused at the request. Shortly after issuing his invitation, Honey had told him the time and place, and also asked that he bring along his teddy bear. He'd agreed, confusedly, and had hoped for some clarification, but his senpai hadn't bothered to elaborate.

Honey just continued to smile. "Because," he began, and pulled Usa-chan out from behind his back. "I thought it would be more fun if we made it a double date!"

Tamaki stared. Honey had adorned the bunny's neck with a bow tie.

He found himself being pulled down by the arm. Now face-to-face, Honey leaned in conspiratorially. "Usa-chan has a BIG crush on Kuma-chan."

He blinked. Once. Twice. Those big, chocolate eyes were but a few inches from his face. The prince hadn't thought it possible, but that smile was a million times cuter up close...

"Er... r-right..."

Apparently satisfied, the smaller boy released his arm and pulled away. "Well, I guess we should get going, dontcha think?"

"Uh, yeah." He muttered. He took a few glances around the area. In truth, he just needed to look at something other than Honey-senpai for a few moments. "Er, is the cake shop around here somewhere?"

"Oh, it's a little ways away." Tamaki wasn't looking at him, but if he had been, he might have noticed that his senpai's smile was especially... gentle. Tender, almost... "I thought maybe we could walk around and take a look at some of these little stores and things."

The younger boy genuinely perked up, despite all his nervousness. Spending the day browsing commoner shops? Just him and Honey-senpai? Such a wonderful scenario hadn't occurred even in his fantasies...

"O-of course!" He said, and finally managed to look back at the other. His smile began to look less like a squiggly line and more like a smile. "I must say, you have excellent taste, Honey-senpai! Why, I didn't even know this little area existed..."

Smile. "I thought you'd like it." Honey said quietly. He slowly extended a hand towards the prince.

"Shall we go? Hehe."

Tamaki stared at it. His heart sped up even faster. But... slowly, surely... he reached out and took hold of the other boy's hand. His smile turned into an outright grin as he did so.

It looked like the happy butterflies had won this battle. The rest of the day would tell if they won the war...

"There they go! Hurry up, get moving or we'll lose them!" Hikaru urged in a loud whisper, peering out from behind the corner of the building.

"Hang on, be careful, if we follow too close behind, they'll see us." Kaoru said, placing a hand on his brother's shoulder to hold him still. "Trust me, it's okay, I've done this before."

"Yeah, I guess you're ri-... wait, what?"

"Er, nothing! Nothing at all! Hey look, there they go into that little antique store!"

"I don't really see any need to rush, it appears they intend to peruse this whole area. What with so many establishments in one place, I doubt they'll get very far very fast."

"Still, we should try to keep an eye on them..."

"Why am I here?"

Kyoya, Hikaru, and Kaoru all turned to Haruhi at once.

"What, you're telling us you wanna miss THIS?" Hikaru said. "The boss? And Honey-senpai? On a DATE? I dunno about you but I didn't see this coming. I wanna watch what happens."

She eyed him exasperatedly. "Does this not seem even a little wrong to you guys? Do you really not respect their privacy at all?"

"I admit I don't really think it's totally necessary that we be here..." Kaoru, who had really only come along because Hikaru wanted to, said with a sheepish smile.

"Are you crazy? This could turn out to be really entertaining. We might even witness some valuable blackmail material."

Haruhi gave him a look and sighed. "What about you, Kyoya-senpai? Please tell me you're going to be a bit reasonable about this."

The boy in question gently adjusted his glasses. "I must admit to being a tad curious myself."

"Oh brother..." Her shoulders slumped. Why did she even try?

Kyoya averted his eyes. "curious" may not have, in fact, been the best word to describe exactly why he had accompanied the rest of the club members on this little adventure. Kyoya Ohtori had better things to do than act on frivolous whims. The outcome of Honey-senpai and Tamaki's day may well effect the future of operations of the club, and it would do him well to be prepared. He certainly wasn't worried about if Tamaki was going to be okay. Worried for his best friend? Preposterous. Although it was certainly an intriguing notion, in it's own way.

"Can I at least go home?"

"Nope!" Two voices answered in unison.

"Aghhhhhhh..."

"Say," the bespectacled boy piped up. "Where's Mori-senpai?"

All heads turned this way and that, casting about the area.

"Huh... that's funny..." Hikaru said.

"He was with us a minute ago..." Kaoru trailed off.

"Look! They're on the move again! Let's go!"

"Ooh, you're right this time, better get a move on before they get too far."

"Sigh..."

"This is a funny little carving, isn't it? I've never seen a carving of a bear with three salmon before."

Honey nodded, glancing at the old wood carving that had caught Tamaki's attention inside the shop. "It's not as cute as Kuma-chan, though."

"Right..." He said quietly, gently depositing his purchase back into the small paper bag.

Suddenly, the smaller boy shifted closer and slowed down a bit. He looked up at Tamaki expectantly and made a "come closer" gesture with his free hand.

The prince resisted the urge to gulp loudly. He tried to maintain a nonchalant expression as he leaned down towards his senpai.

"He's not mad at me, is he?"

"... Um...?"

"Kuma-chan." For the first time that day, Honey frowned. "I'm really sorry about throwing him before..."

The memory came rushing back to him. Oh yes, those had been a trying few days... That was also the time Honey-senpai had bitten him...

"Oh, no, not at all." He said, and tried to give him a reassuring smile.

The frown remained. Tamaki could barely stand it. It made him just want to pick up his senpai and cuddle him to bits. Not that he'd ever dare do that. But the sad face had to go...

"I-in fact, he couldn't be happier to see you. Especially since you hooked him up with Usa-chan." He winked.

Honey blinked, then giggled. He broke out into a happy grin, and the prince couldn't help but do the same.

"Quick! Everybody behind the shrubs!"

"No wait, they're stopping!"

"Okay... no, they're moving! Behind the shrubs!

"Kaoru, you're going to trip me!"

"Hey, quit shoving you guys!"

"OUCH! Kaoru, you're going to pay for that...!"

"BEHIND the shrubs, not IN the shrubs, Kyoya-senpai."

"You tripped me, you imbecile!"

"SHHH! You guys, they're getting closer, be quiet!"

"Get your elbow out of my ribs and I will!"

Tamaki stopped short. "... Did you hear something?"

"I didn't hear anything. Did you hear anything, Usa-chan?"

"..."

"Usa-chan didn't hear anything."

"Huh... must have just been my imagination."

A few load dings attracted the pair's attention. Not too far away was a little ice cream cart, the man behind it ringing the bell.

"Look Tama-chan! Think you have a little extra room for some ice cream?"

"Are they seriously getting ice cream? I thought they were going for cake."

"Well, you know Honey-senpai..."

"Sure, why not?" the blonde replied, just a bit shyly. It seemed he found himself feeling more at ease with each passing minute. It hadn't been long, but still, nothing catastrophic had happened yet. It probably helped that he didn't have a hoard of giggling guest watching his every move. He wasn't dead. He wasn't even in the dungeon.

He was holding Honey-senpai's hand.

He felt his heart do a triple back flip.

"Yup, they're going for it."

"Would you guys be quiet? They almost heard us a minute ago."

A few feet away, Honey slowly turned his eyes towards the shrubbery as they approached the ice cream cart, the smile never leaving his face. Tamaki didn't seem to notice.

The rest of the club members froze and ducked down further behind the foliage.

"..." The older boy said nothing, just continued to stare, even as they ordered their ice cream.

Finally, a few licks into his vanilla cone, the younger boy took notice.

"What are you looking at, Honey-senpai?" He followed the blonde's gaze. He didn't see anything particular interesting about the little line of shrubs.
"Oh," he said slowly. "I just thought I saw a bluebird. A whole family of bluebirds. I didn't expect to see any around here. In fact, I bet they don't belong here at all. They should really fly away home."

Tamaki stared, utterly confused. "Um... okay?"

He finally tore his big brown eyes away from the bushes and smiled up at the prince. He held his own ice cream cone aloft."Here, have a taste of mine, Tama-chan. It's really good!"

Any curious thoughts he was having about Honey's grudge against bluebirds vanished instantly. His heart didn't threaten to explode out of his chest. It threatened to ride out through his throat on a motorcycle, popping wheelies and bellowing "Yee-HAW!".

"Oh my gosh, he's spotted us!"

"Retreat, RETREAT!"

"Not now you idiots, Tamaki still doesn't know we're here."

"I told you this was gonna happen! I'm going home!"

"Wait Haruhi, he might see you!"

"He looks pretty distracted to me. I'll risk it!"

And then, there were three. Haruhi took off, walking quickly in the opposite direction with one hand held up to hide her face, ignoring her friends' silent pleas for her to wait. Once she was further away she began to jog, before disappearing down the street altogether.

Good luck, senpai...

"There they go again..."

"Hikaru, maybe we should back off..."

"Urgh," He groaned. "This stinks, I wanted to see how this all played out. What do you think, Honey-senpai won't kill us with the boss watching, will he?"

The group slowly stood up, as the two blondes had now wandered a safe distance away, hand in hand, stuffed animals clasped against their chests, ice cream cones in their other hands, chatting about something that they could no longer make out. Even from this distance though, it was plain to see that Tamaki was blushing all the way to his ears. Although both looked to be in good spirits...

"He's not going to kill anyone at all. I doubt Honey-senpai himself minds all that much, I would assume he's trying to get rid of us for Tamaki's sake."

"So as long as the boss doesn't see, we're safe, right?" Hikaru asked.

Kaoru let out a quiet sigh.

"Well, Tamaki may be oblivious as ever but Honey-senpai is sharper than you might think. If we're going to keep this up, we're going to have to be a bit more clever with our tactics. First order of business, we need to hang back more."

"Second order of business?" The twins questioned in unison.

"... Second order of business, I'm actually rather in the mood for some ice cream."

"-... and then, Takashi grabbed him by the arm and flipped him right into the wall!"

Tamaki was torn between laughing and cringing. His fears hadn't been quite so unreasonable after all, it seemed. Then again, the person in this odd little anecdote Honey was relating to him had been a mugger, rather than a bumbling suitor. But you could never be too careful...

It had truly been a wonderful afternoon. Despite all his worries, all had gone smoothly. After their stop at the ice cream cart, they'd looked through all different kinds of commoner shops, and both had picked up their fair share of little trinkets and knickknacks. Tamaki was particularly fond of what was apparently called a "slinky". They'd chattered back and forth, and even shared a few laughs. The prince had eventually given up on trying to keep his blushing in check, and if Honey-senpai looked his way while his cheeks were alight, he just smiled sheepishly. He now knew that his senpai noticed, too- he'd told him it was cute. This naturally only caused him to blush more.

They were now seated opposite each other at a small table in the middle of the cake shop, talking while they waited for their cake to arrive. Their shopping bag sat at their feet under the table. Usa-chan and Kuma-chan were sitting at another one not too far away. Apparently, there were really hitting it off and could use some privacy.

It wasn't a fancy place by any means, but it had it's own charm. The small, white tables only had enough space for two people at a time and were covered with frilly little table cloths. Some stuffed animals sat in the window alongside the cake displays, and the menu covers had been pink. It was a cute place, just like Honey had said.

A few other couples were sitting eating cake and chatting nearby, but the place wasn't crowded.

Neither of the two had paid any particular mind to the three individuals sandwiched at one table together in the corner, their faces conveniently hidden behind a newspaper.

The two blondes lapsed into silence as Honey finished his tale of muggers and wall-related injuries. The host club's princely character, feeling at a loss for what to say, simply took to glancing awkwardly around the place and hoping it looked casual. His date just sat there contentedly while they waited.

"Hey."

Tamaki's eyes snapped back to his senpai, who was was looking at him with a smile. Once he saw that he had his attention, he leaned across the table.

"I like you a lot, Tama-chan."

He blinked. It took a few seconds for Honey's words to register. When they did, he was sincerely surprised that he didn't melt into a puddle of exceptionally handsome goo.

"... teehee." He let out a giggle.

… a giggle. He just giggled. A giggle so bubbly and girly it could've given the guests at the club a run for their money. Why did he giggle? He probably sounded ridiculous!

"Um!" He hurried, hoping to draw attention away from the sound he'd just made. "I like you too, Honey-senpai. A lot." The words came tumbling out of his mouth before he could really realize what he was saying. For the umpteenth time that day, he felt his face redden.

The smaller boy just smiled wider. Such a genuinely happy smile. He could practically feel the pure, sincere joy wafting towards him. Tamaki came to the realization that he'd been a fool before; he would die of cuteness overload why before Mori-senpai ever got anywhere near him.

"Do you remember-..." Honey began. Unfortunately, he was abruptly cut off. Both turned their attention to the violin player who had suddenly appeared in front of their table, playing a gentle tune as though it were completely normal.

Meanwhile in the corner, Kyoya glared at the two seated next to him. "Is THIS your idea of subtle?" He hissed.

"Violin music is totally romantic." Kaoru said matter-of-factly.

"Yeah, besides this place needs SOMETHING to help set the mood, a little commoner's cake shop? They'll never get anywhere."

"I didn't think a place as little as this could afford it's own violin player." Tamaki said, staring. "I guess you learn something new every day."

Kyoya smacked himself in the face.

It was then that their cake chose to arrive. The waitress set the two plates down in front of them and told them to enjoy. She blinked in confusion at the mysterious violin player, but in the end decided not to ask.

"Cake! Yay!" Honey cheered happily, seemingly forgetting all about whatever he'd been saying earlier. "Let's dig in, Tama-chan!"

"Er, yes." He replied, looking down at the pastry in front of him. It did look good, and he eagerly picked up his fork to take a taste.

The other blonde shoveled a big bite into his mouth, letting out a loud "Mmm!", before glancing as casually as he could over his shoulder. Well, would you take a gander at those three people hiding their faces behind a newspaper. Surely, three people trying to read a newspaper all at once couldn't work very well. You'd think they'd just buy their own separate copies. It's not like they couldn't afford it. Especially since they had no trouble getting a violin player on such short notice.

"Guys? I think he sees us."

"Imagine that, I wonder what could have possibly made him suspicious."

"Well it's not like we can leave now, we'd have to walk right past them to get to the door."

"You idiots. Now we're stuck."

"It's not our fault!"

"Yes. It is."

"Hey, I suggested we disguise ourselves as waiters, then we could move around as much as we want, but you said no!"

"Speaking of waiters..." Kaoru said slowly. "... is that... is that Mori-senpai in the behind the counter?! In the back, in the bakery area?"

"Hey, whaddaya know. Nice fake mustache."

"He's even got a uniform, how'd he swing that? None of the staff seems to notice him either."

"This is just a theory of mine, but perhaps he took the time to think carefully ahead and plan things out in advance rather than bumbling along haphazardly."

"Quiet, you."

"Ahhh... that sure was some yummy cake." Honey muttered blissfully, patting his full stomach. As adorable as he looked while doing it, Tamaki would never understand how someone that small could devour so much cake at once. Where did it all go?

"Welp, I think Usa-chan and Kuma-chan are ready to go." He said, hopping up out of his seat. "This was a lot of fun, Tama-chan. Hey, do you think maybe we could stop by that little park we passed by on the way here before we go home?"

"Sure." He said, standing and walking over to collect his teddy bear. The other did the same with his beloved bunny and both gathered up their share of the shopping bags, before Honey took hold of his companions hand and happily skipped out of the shop, leading him behind.

"... Okay, let's get going, or they'll get away." Hikaru said.

"Just gimme a sec, I need to to tip the violin player." said Kaoru.

"Oh, were you the ones who hired that delightful violin player?"

The question had come from a woman at the next table over, who stood up and approached the trio.

"Oh, he's just fabulous! Does he take tips? Oh, how much does he charge? I'd love to have a violin player at me and my husbands anniversary!"

"Er," Kaoru tried to smile. "Well actually ma'am, he was really just-..."

Another woman seemingly materialized behind the first one. "You hired the violinist? He doesn't work here? Are you boys affiliated with the shop?"

"Um, no miss, we were only-..."

A waitress suddenly appeared. "I'm sorry sirs, this violin player of yours is just a really big hit with the customers, he really adds to the atmosphere. I don't suppose there's anyway we could talk to you about-..."

"We're very sorry ladies, but we really must be going, we're in a hurry." Kyoya said, attempting to elbow past the growing mob.

"Oh, please wait!" He now found himself with the waitress clinging to his arm. "It'll only take a moment, just let me get my manager..."

"Guys! They're gonna get away!" Hikaru shouted.

"What do you want me to do? We're literally backed into a corner!"

"Whoa, there goes Mori-senpai out the back door!"

"Look at him go! C'mon, we gotta catch 'em!"

"Wait, how much did you say your manager might be willing to pay, now?"

"KYOYA-SENPAI!"

The sun was beginning to set, filling the sky with all manner of oranges, reds and pinks. The smell of freshly cut grass hung in the air around the park. A few tiny fishes swam to and fro in a small, clear pond in the middle of the park. There were now even less people hanging around that there had been that afternoon, and all was peaceful.

Tamaki and Honey sat on a wooden bench in front of the pond, hands still intertwined. Usa-chan and Kuma-chan sat together on the other side. They were silent as they watched the fish goes about their fishy business, but it was a comfortable silence.

The prince didn't know anymore what he'd been so afraid of- the day had been nothing short of perfect. He could barely believe it. The happy butterflies had soundly beaten the nervous butterflies, even if there were moments when it looked like it could go either way, and were now celebrating their victory. It still made his stomach feel funny, but he had the feeling that if he were to vomit now, it would consist of kittens and rainbows- although that was actually a bit terrifying, if you think about it. Tamaki didn't care to. Right now, he just wanted to enjoy this moment with his senpai. What a shame it was that it couldn't last forever...

"Tama-chan."

The boy in question turned to look at him. "What?"

"Do you remember when we met?"

"What?" He blinked. "Well, of course I remember. How could I ever forget?"

"I'll never forget it, either."

Honey smiled, and continued to gaze into the pond.

"You know Tama-chan, I guess I never really told you how grateful I am that I met you."
The prince was beyond confused, now. "What do you mean?"

"Before I met, you, I guess I didn't really know who I was. I tried my best to be what everyone expected me to be, but deep down, it never felt right."

He faced the prince, eyes sparkling in the light. If you looked close enough, you would notice the faintest of all blushes adorning his cheeks.

"And then you came along. And you made me realize, it was okay for me to be whatever I wanted to be. That it was okay to like sweets and cute things, no matter what anyone else chose to think of me for it. I couldn't be happier than I am right now, and it's all thanks to you. I can't stand to think how things would be if it wasn't for you. I'd probably have never figured it out, and I'd just be miserable."

He gave the younger boy's hand a light squeeze. "So thank you, Tamaki. I hope some day I can make you as happy as you made me."

Tamaki was floored, to say the least. He never knew... did he really...? It... what...?

"... I don't know what to say, Honey-senpai-..."

"You can call me Mitsukuni, if you want."

"... Mitsukuni..." The name tasted sweet in his mouth. "I'm so happy you feel that way. But, you've made me so happy already."

"Really? I have?"

"Of course." He said. For the first time today, he found that he didn't feel like a nervous, lovestruck school girl. He felt... comfortable. He felt brave. "This day with you has been the best I've had in a long time. In fact, when you asked me to come, I don't think I'd ever been so happy in my life... and really, really nervous. But mostly happy. Seeing your smiling face in the club each day is all I need."

Blink. "Is that really how you feel, Tama-chan?"

"Yes... from the bottom of my heart."

"... I'm really happy..."

Honey scooted closer. Gently, he laid a hand on Tamaki's shoulder and pulled him closer.

His heart sped up... but still, somehow, he felt okay... as slowly, surely, their faces drew nearer and nearer, it all felt right.

Two pairs of eyes slid shut. Their lips met.

Honey's lips were soft and tasted of cake and all manner of other sweet things. The world around him faded away as their lips moved against each other. As far as he was concerned, there was only him, and his senpai... Mitsukuni Haninozuka.

A tongue brushed gently across his lower lip. He'd never taken the other boy to be so... bold. He shyly opened his mouth to allow him entrance.

You learn something new every day...

"Where are they? Do you see them? That's the park down there, isn't it?"

"I see them! Over there, by the pond!"

"Quick, get down before they see us!"

"Get down where?"

"Anywhere!"

"In the bushes!"

"Ow! Hey, these things have thorns!"

"What's going on, I can't see anything!"

"Hang on, stop moving! It's look like they're... whoa."

"What? What?"

"Way to go, boss..."

"... Well, despite any doubts we may have had, it appears this day has gone well for them."

"No kidding..."

Oxygen. The darned stuff. So incredibly overrated. Unfortunately for the pair on the bench, they found that they did, indeed, need it. Hesitantly, the two finally broke apart. They gazed into each others' eyes, smiling blissfully.

Once he had his breath back, suddenly, Honey shifted to look behind him.

"Okay, Takashi. You can stop pretending to be that tree, now."

Tamaki started at his senpai, confused. He followed his gaze to the tree in question. Now that he was looking at it... it looked a little bit... off. Before his very eyes, it started to move.

The front of the "tree" slowly unzipped. The bulky costume fell down around Mori's feet.

"... how did you know?"

"I didn't see you at first." Honey admitted. "I was actually watching for everyone else. Your disguise as that old lady feeding the pigeons was really good, though."

While this was going on, the prince was trying to get his brain to work. Mori-senpai was here. He was a tree. He'd been following them... he'd been following them. He'd been following them! The whole day! He'd seen everything!

… Wait a minute. Did Honey-senpai just say...?

"And the rest of you, get out of that bush!"

Tamaki's head whipped around. Out of a bush some distance behind him, Hikaru, Kaoru and Kyoya stood up with bemused expressions on their faces.

"K-Kyoya! You shady twins! How long have you been-..?!"

"Shame on you!" Honey shouted, pointing an accusing finger in their direction. "Spying on an innocent couple in the park!"
He turned back to Mori. "And as for you, Takashi!"

Mori shifted uncomfortably. He refused to meet his cousin's eyes. He looked almost ashamed.

"Why did you follow us?" The small blonde demanded.

"... I..." He began, then appeared to choke. He wanted to make an excuse, but he knew Honey would never believe him.

"... Mitsukuni... are you... happy?"

"Of course I am, silly!"

"... I see." He muttered. "I'm sorry."

"You should be! All of you should be ashamed of yourselves!"
Mori and the twins hung their heads. Kyoya just stared in the other direction at nothing in particular.

"... Well, I guess if you all promise to never ever do it again, they can forgive you."

"...Eh?" Sounded from five different mouths, Tamaki's included.

"Just remember next time. Usa-chan and Kuma-chan need their privacy!"

There we have it! Sorry for the wait everyone, I have been hit with three consecutive illnesses in a row, two ear infections, a sinus infection and a busted eardrum. Thanks for staying with me! Happy cookies to everyone who followed, favorited, and reviewed! Also, Mega-Happy cookies to the first person who can tell me what the "bear with three salmon" carving is a reference to. Who knows, there might just be a secret bonus prize for doing that. Hint hint.

I'm considering doing an epilogue to this or some other kind of follow-up. If enough of you guys want, there MAY be a sequel in the works. Make sure to tell me in a review and if you have a request for any other kind of fic, please don't hesitate to send it along. Live long and prosper, see you next time!
