Tamaki's mouth hung open, but his eyes were wider than saucers. A shiver visibly ran down his spine.

"Whu... What... Did you... ask me?"

"I said," Rebekah said slowly, "Are you gay?" She looked like a police officer trying to interrogate someone.

He'd better be careful... He needs to think this through if he's going to keep Haruhi's secret a, well, a secret. I thought about the situation to myself. I couldn't say anything, or Rebekah would know we were hiding something. He couldn't overreact, or she'd know he isn't gay. But she was smart enough to see that he clearly loved Haruhi, so she'd know something was up. We were stuck between a rock and a hard place. If Tamaki didn't think about this, Rebekah would know about Haruhi.

So really, it was all up to whether he cared if she knew or not.

"I..." Tamaki started, "I... I MOST CERTAINLY AM NOT!" I squeezed my eyes shut and pinched the bridge of my nose with my fingers. There it went.

Peeking through my lashes, I saw Rebekah sit calmly staring at Tamaki- who was basically going nuts- with a focused look on her face. She was trying to piece it all together.

I tried to open my mouth to speak, to fix the slip, but it was too late. Rebekah's eyes snapped open, her mouth dropped, and her mind snapped all the peices together. She knew.

"Then... That would mean..." The twins pinched the bridges of their noses, Kyoya rubbed his temples, and Mitskuni sat a bit straighter, unaware of the reason behind our frustration. "Then Haruhi is... A girl...?"

Tamaki's face froze, his fingers twitching and mouth gaping in shock. "Ah... I..." He squeezed his eyes shut, "Ohhh... I can't believe she figured it out so quickly..."

Kyoya peeked at Tamaki out of one eye, "It's your fault you moron."

"WHAT!? HOW COULD YOU EVEN SAY THAT KYOYA, I THOUGHT YOU WERE MY FRIEND!" He threw his hands around dramatically, attracting the attention of the few other people who had gathered in the cafe.

I squeezed my arms around Bekah, leaning into her neck so that my lips rested near her earlobe. "You know you can't tell anyone. We trust you to do that."

She shivered and smiled. No one was paying attention to us, they were all yelling at Tamaki. "Of course... But you may have to convince me to stay quiet in a specific way if I get too tired of keeping that secret..." She tilted her head back toward me, nuzzling my neck with her nose.

The table was quiet, I looked up to see all of the boys giving us what Rebekah and I call 'the smile'. It's the smile they give us when they know we're being romantic. It's the smile you see on your friends' faces when they see you with your crush, ya know? Except they know more than the fact that she's my crush. The first time we saw it was in Tokyo. We all know what happened there, so I feel no need to elaborate...

I smiled to myself, though I knew my cheekbones were tinged pink with embarrassment. I ignored them, bending to kiss Rebekah's neck where it met her shoulder. "While you're all staring at us creepily," I said without moving, "We face the problem of whether to take this beautiful girl to meet your girl, Tamaki."

That shut him up pretty quick.

Tamaki sulked in his chair, and at the same time, Kyoya took his chance to speak up. "Well, they may as well meet, I mean, they're going to eventually, right? We might as well take this time to get them acquainted."

"NO." I said loudly.

Everyone looked at me, somewhat shocked. Rebekah craned her neck toward me, confused but amused. (Well look at me, I'm the American poet, Doctor Seuss...)

"I just, I had plans is all." And cue 'the smile'. They all thought they knew what I was planning, though I actually didn't want to do what they thought. I mean, I did, more than anything, but that's not what I was planning. Anyway.

"Not what you think. I actually had plans. Legit."

"Legitimately? Like, you had plans to be in PUBLIC with her today?"

"Yes."

"Well then," Kaoru chimed in.

"We'll just have to," Hikaru continued.

In unison: "GO WITH!"

Mitskuni cheered, "Yaaay! Field trip!"

Kyoya smiled and shifted his glasses up on his nose. "I'm up for it. Tamaki?"

"I see no reason why not!" His violet eyes sparked mischeviously, knowing he was going to make it a long day for me.

"You know, they're pumped up now, and we'll have plenty of time to be alone together soon, I see no reason why we shouldn't!" Rebekah thought for a moment, "What ARE we doing today...?" Everyone trained their eyes on me.

"Well... I was thinking..."

I swallowed and continued.

"Wedding planning."
