Chapter II
The Twins Ruin It

Tamaki sat bawling in a corner of the Host Club room and had not stopped for several long minutes. The twins stood around him in an attempt to make him feel better (or perhaps worse, one could never really tell) but they just succeeded in making him cry even harder.

Of course this was a daily routine for the members of the Host Club; it was nothing out of the ordinary. In fact, Haruhi, Mori, and Hunni were just ignoring the Host Club President; unfortunately Kyoya couldn't join them.

Unlike most times Tamaki broke down this time was when the Host Club was supposed to be opening. Kyoya could hear the dissatisfied customers just outside the door. Every so often someone would twist the doorknob only to discover that the door was locked and then murmuring would occur. After the muttering calmed down someone else would try the doorknob and it would start up all over again.

On an up-note, it gave Kyoya the perfect chance to make another video of his and Tamaki's peusdo love. Working quietly to make sure no one noticed he pulled out a small video camera and hit record.

"Stop teasing him," Kyoya commanded the twins as he stepped out from behind his desk and into the view of the camera. "Don't you have jobs you should be doing?"

The twins shared a glance at each other (knowing their fun had been ruined) before striding off to do damage elsewhere.

"What happened?" Kyoya asked Tamaki before he crouched down to be at eye level with his friend.

"Haru called me a pervert!" Tamaki screamed, crying even harder.

"Come here," Kyoya commanded with some reluctance as he opened up his arms to invite Tamaki into a hug.

"Mommy!" Tamaki cried, flinging himself into his friends arms so hard he successfully knocked both himself and Kyoya onto the ground. Tamaki tumbled while still holding onto the Shadow King, resulting in Kyoya being on his back and Tamaki lying right on top of him.

"Haru was just teasing," Kyoya assured, slipping into a comforting tone. "You aren't a pervert, okay? Everything's fine."

"Thanks Kyoya," Tamaki replied as he burrowed his face into his best friend's chest. "I feel better now."

"Good enough to open up the Host Club's doors for its customers?" Kyoya asked to make sure.

"Yeah," Tamaki assured with a bright smile before he started to climb off of Kyoya.

"Good," the Shadow King replied, "The Host Club wouldn't be the same if we didn't have you." Without another word Kyoya kissed Tamaki softly on the forehead, disentangled himself from his friend, and then walked swiftly back to his desk, all the while thinking about the video tape and the money to be made with the new video footage.

I hope that wasn't too mushy to be thought of as weird. I'm definitely going to have to take out most of the conversation again. This video will definitely price higher than the last one; there's more affection this time around. Plus, I've already got quite a few buyers hooked by now.

"Greetings Mi'Lord," the twins greeted in unison as soon as Kyoya had stepped away from the President and gone back to his desk.

"Hello Children," Tamaki greeted happily, "How are you this fine afternoon?"

"We've noticed something Mi'Lord," Kaoru said quietly.

"Something about Kyoya," Hikaru elaborated.

"What is it? Is Kyoya sick?" Tamaki asked, already panicking for no real reason.

"No," Hikaru said with obviousness filling his voice. "He's been getting very friendly with you, hasn't he?" he asked with clear inuendo.

"That's because our friendship is blooming," Tamaki gushed with happiness, completely oblivious to what the two brothers were trying to suggest.

"Yeah, blooming into full blown homosexuality," both twins chorused with deadpan faces. Without waiting to hear what their President had to say they both walked off with twin looks of mock-disgust.

Tamaki looked over at Kyoya as his friend typed away at the computer. Could it really be true that Kyoya liked him? If that was true why wasn't he saying anything? Was it because the Shadow King was afraid of what Tamaki would say?

At that moment in time Tamaki decided to make it his duty to ensure that Kyoya knew that his friend was there for him no matter what.
