"Bye, Amber! Bye, Thorne! See you tomorrow!" Honey gave them each a hug as their limos pulled up.

"Bye, Mitsu!" Amber giggled, hugging him back.

"Bye, Honey," Thorne smiled fondly down at her friend, returning his hug and mussing his hair.

"I'll see you tomorrow," Mori said.

"Yeah," Thorne nodded, smiling shyly.

She blushed hotly as he pressed his lips to her cheek. He smiled softly at her, mussed Amber's hair fondly, and stepped into his limo.

Inside her own limo, Thorne dazedly brought a hand to her cheek, touching the place he'd kissed. Amber giggled at her sister.

"He'll be a good husband," she mused, snapping Thorne from her thoughts.

"Ah, y-yeah."

She was having a hard time fully wrapping her mind around the fact that she was now engaged- to Mori, no less.

Megan sighed softly, nuzzling Tamaki's neck. They'd returned to his place after seeing a movie, and had been cuddling on his bed for nearly an hour.

"What's wrong, my love?" he asked, kissing her forehead.

"Nothing," she smiled softly up at him, "just thinking."

"About?" he asked curiously.

"Wouldn't you like to know?" she teased.

"Yes, I would."

"Mm... Too bad!"

"Megan!" he whined, rolling on top of her.

Megan squealed. She giggled and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Tell me!"

"Make me," she grinned, giving him an Eskimo kiss.

"Ok," he grinned.

He leaned down and softly pressed his lips to hers. She tightened her arms around his neck, bringing him closer and deepening the kiss. She rocked her hips into his once, making him gasp.

"Megan," he groaned softly, "don't."

"Why not?" she whispered, biting his lip gently.

He groaned again. Megan slid her tongue into his mouth, satisfied to feel him tense. She slid her tongue over his teeth and rubbed it against his tongue. He gave her a moment to explore before fighting back, eventually making his way into her mouth. She moaned softly, sliding her fingers into his hair.

Tamaki moaned as Megan ground her hips into his.

"Megan- mm... Megan..." he moaned. "Megan... Megan, stop…."

Megan gently bit into his neck, evoking another groan from him.

"Oh my go-" he moaned as she sucked on his neck. "Meg…."

She flipped them over so she was on top, continuing to bite and suck at his neck as she ground into him.

"No, Megan, stop…."

"Why?" she murmured against his neck.

"B-because- ngh…. It's… it's too much…."

"Too much?" she nibbled on his earlobe, then ran her tongue up his neck, still grinding against him.

"Oh…. Meg, please….. Please stop…."

Meg sighed and sat up, still straddling him but staying still, her hands on his chest. She took satisfaction in the way his chest heaved up and down, his cheeks flushed, lust burning in his eyes. What she felt underneath her both satisfied her and made her blush. It also frustrated her, because she didn't fully understand why he refused to go further—they'd barely brushed second base, having gotten their tops off on a couple occasions but never any more.

"Why, Tamaki?" she asked softly, staring down at her hands, clenching his shirt.

"Because I love you, Meg," he responded just as softly, sitting up and pulling her to his chest.

"I love you, too. That's why I want to-"

"I do, too, Meg. You have no idea how badly I want to. There's not a second that goes by that I don't."

"Then why?"

"I want it to be special."

"It will be," she argued. "It'll be special because it'll be you and me and we're in love."

"I know," he agreed, "but… Meg, it's important. It's a really big step and I don't want us to rush into it. I want to be sure we're ready, and I don't want it to be a spur-of-the-moment thing."

"Why not?" she asked, frowning up at him. "The spontaneity makes it romantic and exciting-"

"Not for our first time, Meg. After that, that's fine, but for the first time I want to be prepared. I want to make it special. I have plans, Meg."

"Plans?" that piqued her interest.

"Yes, plans. But we have to wait."

"Ok," she sighed.

He smiled and kissed the top of her head.

"But why can't we-"

"The farther we go, the harder it is to resist the temptation," he cut her off, anticipating what she was going to ask.

"Fine," she sighed again, wrapping her arms around his torso.

Thorne gasped as arms wrapped around her shoulders from behind, a kiss pressed to the top of her head. She looked up and back at Mori, blushing.

"Morning, Thorne," he said quietly.

"Morning, Takashi," she smiled shyly up at him.

Amber giggled, and a little blond-and-purple blur tackled her.

"Mitsu!" she giggled, hugging him.

"Hiya, Amber!" he giggled. "Hiya, Thorne!"

"Hey, Honey."

Tamaki came around the corner, hand-in-hand with Megan. He froze when he saw Mori standing behind Thorne, with his arms around her. It wasn't unusual in the least to see Amber and Honey hugging or otherwise having physical contact, but Thorne and Mori—that was unusual.

"What's wrong, Tama?" Megan asked.

"Uh... Did I miss something?"

"Huh?"

"Thorne and Mori-senpai?"

"Oh, right-they're engaged now."

"What?!" he whirled to face her. "When did this happen? Why didn't you tell me?!"

"Calm down, Tama," she laughed, waving her hand dismissively. "It just happened yesterday, and I just found out last night."

"I-"

"You realize we're standing right here, don't you, Tamaki?" Thorne interjected, an amused expression on her face.

"Oh. Right," he blinked. "Well, where did this come from? It seems really sudden."

"It is really sudden," she agreed. "It's the real reason Dad came out here. If anything were to happen to him, I'd be left in charge of, well, everything. In the future that duty may be transferred or split, but as of now it's just me. So Dad decided that it's in everyone's best interest if I'm affianced to someone who could help me out should that happen."

"Oh... But, Mori-senpai, how did you get roped into an arranged marriage?"

"I requested it."

Tamaki blinked.

"Uhh... Come again?"

"He found out that Thorne was going to be betrothed and decided to marry her because he wants to make sure she's treated well!"Amber chirped. "Isn't that cute and super-sweet? I can't think of anyone I'd rather see Thorne with!"

"Ahh," Tamaki nodded, smiling. "That's great! I agree with you 100%! I-"

"The bell just rang, Tamaki," Megan cut him off, tugging on his arm. "We need to get to class."

"But I was-"

"Class!" She dragged him away.

"He's funny," Amber giggled.

"Mm-hm," Thorne agreed. "Spastic as always."
