"So what are they really doing that involves you Vivi-chan?" Hunny asked, sitting on the edge of the stage and swinging his legs back and forth as he looked back at her. "Well, the students doing fashion are in charge of creating not only a few pieces for the cat walk runway thing that the college does at the end of each year to show off the talents to prospective people in the fashion industry, but they are also in charge of creating the costumes for this years drama production." she explained. "Ooooh! A production!" Tamaki's whole face seemed to light up as Vivi nodded. "If you don't mind me asking, what's it about? I'm not really a fan of watching theatrical works but I might have already read it as a book." Haruhi asked. "It's nothing special, just Romeo and Juliet. Kind of boring." Vivi shrugged. "And let me guess! You got the lead role! That's my girl! Sooo proud of you!" Tamaki hugged Vivi and rubbed his head against her face. Vivi chuckled a little but pushed him away, "No, I didn't. I didn't want the part of Romeo or Juliet or whatever. I'm going to be Juliet's understudy and I'll be a friend of Romeo's at the ball but other than that I'm not in it." she explained. "I'll be picking the music for everything." she added proudly.
Haruhi, Hunny and Mori looked at her a little surprised but Tamaki and Kyouya smiled. "Sounds like a reasonable and safe plan to me." Kyouya said and Tamaki half-hugged her proudly. "Yeah, I thought so too. The group decided to do it all in Japanese so I'm practicing my dialect and speech... can you tell?" Vivi asked with a shy smile. "I thought you were doing it to not be left out!" Hunny said honestly but then added, "I was surprised at how well you were doing though Vivi-chan otherwise I'd have tried my English for you!" he beamed. Vivi blushed slightly, "Thanks Hunny-senpai. I really am trying. But it is easier with you all around and being so considerate. I miss what the twins say half the time because they both just chatter on and on at the same time." she laughed softly. Kyouya nodded, "They do that to try to hide the difference in their voices and it pretty much always works." he explained. Vivi looked thoughtful for a moment, "Really? But... they sound so different... are they identical or something?" she asked. Everyone looked a little surprised but Tamaki laughed, "They try to be perfectly identical but that stuff doesn't work on you." he said. "But don't tell them that 'kay? It'll be all of our secret." he added softly. Everyone nodded at that.
Haruhi smiled. It was nice to see how all of Tamaki's normally-unwanted-or-wasted energies were being used to give Vivian support. Normally when he was helping someone out he tended to look in Haruhi's direction for some kind of praise at how well he was doing, like a puppy would. But with Vivi it was different. He was happier to just help her and support her even though she was already such a strong young person who didn't need the help.
"So is it still ok for me to come over tonight after college?" Tamaki asked, breaking Haruhi's chain of thought. "Why? what's going on tonight?" Hunny asked curiously. Tamaki, for once, seemed to hesitate whether or not to tell them but Vivi told them anyway, "Tama's coming over for a movie night!" she said with a smile. "Oooh! A movie night! Will there be popcorn?!" Hunny asked, his eyes lighting up at the thought. "Yep, but only two types. I'm kind of fussy." Vivi said. "Hmmm... only two? Then... is one Toffee?" Hunny asked slowly. Vivi nodded, "Yep. Bet you can't guess the other one though." she smiled. Hunny and Haruhi thought for a moment. "Butterscotch?" Hunny suggested. "Nope. If you get it you're all welcome to gatecrash." She said. "...salt." Haruhi said slowly. "What?" Tamaki asked slowly. "Well... my favorite popcorn is just the salted type... though not a lot of people like it. Is it salted?" Haruhi asked. Vivian laughed, "You got it!" she beamed. "Really?" Haruhi asked but she wasn't answered as Hunny interrupted, "So we're really allowed to go to your apartment and watch movies with you and Tama-chan?" he asked. "Yes, of course you're allowed, if you want to that is." she said.
"With no disrespect. How does a blind person 'watch' a movie?" Mori asked, surprising everyone with a question none of them had considered. "Ah... well they're really old movies I'd seen thousands of times before when I lived in France with Tama and they're all practically Operas or musicals so I don't have to watch anything. Even before I lost my eyesight, Tama and I would stay up late, lying on his mama's bed, our eyes closed and just listen to the beautiful music held in those old tapes." She told them and, Haruhi realised, it must have been true as Tamaki was blushing slightly having obviously thought she had forgotten this little memory they shared.
Fortunately he was saved from anyone mentioning his embarrassment as the bell rang. Vivi frowned and glared at the source of the irritatingly loud little bell that was in their room. 'She might not see with those eyes,' thought Haruhi, 'But she gives scary deadly looks just like Kyouya-Senpai... I'd hate to be on the receiving end of one!'
"Well, time for next class. Take it easy ok Viv?" Tamaki said pulling the girl's head into a loose hug and kissing the top of her head. "We'll be sure to come for the Movie night party Vivi-chan! Takashi and I'll bring some snacks too, right Takashi?" Hunny beamed, smiling at his cousin. "Yeah. It'll be a blast." Mori nodded. "I've not much better to do tonight so you can count me in too." Kyouya said, writing in his little black book as usual. "You're coming too aren't you Haruhi-chan?" Vivi asked. "Yeah, sounds like fun." she agreed. "So we'll see you tonight Viv, oh! And don't let those nasty perverted twins get to you! They're sneaky little buggers." Tamaki said having raised a hand to his mouth as though to keep the others from hearing him though though everyone agreed with his comment... well the sneaky part at least. The perverted and nasty were optional depending on the twin's moods that day.
"Our ears are burning!" Hikaru's voice came from the door behind them. "Someone's obviously talking about us again." Kaoru's voice joined them and the group turned to see the twins stood there, leaning on either side of the double door's frame. "Can't say I blame them though, we're the most exciting thing happening in this drama room." Hikaru shrugged and Kaoru nodded. Haruhi sighed, "Come on, lets get to business class." she grumbled, leaving with the others. "Hika-chan, Kao-chan, play nice with Vivi-chan 'kay? Tama-chan worries about her lots so it's up to you guys to make sure she's alright." Hunny said, pausing at the door on his way out. Though he was the shortest... and cutest, of the group, he was also the eldest so naturally had that much respect from the others when it came to it. That and he also spoke quite knowledgeably when not having to entertain girls. From his cute little position where nothing but cuteness was expected, he'd grown quite capable of understanding people's emotions and feelings about others though, since this wasn't cute, he often kept it to himself. But now was one of those few times he used it.
Hikaru and Kaoru looked at one another then back at him, "Yeah... don't worry." Hikaru said slowly. "We wouldn't hurt her, not when she means so much to the boss." Kaoru said. Hunny smiled and walked away though he felt nervous that only Kaoru had said they wouldn't hurt her. Hikaru was liable to take a joke too far and tended to ignore Kaoru when he was getting bored. Hikaru was, after all, the ringleader between them.
