One morning after Yuki and Kyoya were better, the twins decided to screw with Yuki by changing her clocks ahead by two hours.
"Kyaa! I'm so late!" Yuki cried as she sprung out the bed. She rapidly changed into her uniform, grabbed her bag and a piece of toast, and then sprinted to the school. "I can't believe I overslept again! And I gave Kyoya a hard time before which was rather stupid of me... Why am I talking to myself? Have I gone postal!?"
Yuki burst into the school building and then to her classroom, only to find it empty. "Huh?" She checked the clock on the wall of the room. It was an hour before school started! Not two hours after!
"Someone played a trick on me..." She immediately knew it was the twins. For revenge, she loosened the legs of Hikaru and Kaoru's chairs and desks. "That'll teach them!" She froze for a moment, hearing the sound of music, specifically, a piano.
Yuki followed the sound of the piano, curious of who was playing it. She peeked inside a music room where the sound was coming from, and, to her surprise, Tamaki was the pianist. When he finished, Yuki clapped. This startled him so much he fell out of his seat.
"Sorry!" Yuki rushed to his side. "I didn't mean to startle you or anything." She offered a hand. Tamaki smiled that goofy smile of his.
"I'm fine. Don't worry. And thank you." He gratefully took it and then released her.
"I didn't know you played the piano. But you're really good."
"Thank you."
"What are you doing here so early?"
He shrugged. "Just to get away. It's quiet and peaceful. What about you?"
"Hikaru and Kaoru messed up my clock so I thought I was late to school." Yuki replied. She took a seat on the piano bench and squinted at the music sheet.
"You play?"
"Yeah. I learned when I was little, but I could never read the music. I just sort of listened to the music and followed along. But I can't read this either..."
"Here. It goes like this." Tamaki took a seat beside her and began to play. Yuki picked up on the rhythm and soon they were playing the piano together in perfect harmony.
Yuki was in disbelief she was playing the piano the crazy, energetic Tamaki. He was much more calm and showed maturity, which was a rare thing. Although, she did witness it once when she asked him what was going on with Kyoya. And again when he was with Haruhi the morning after they got raped. He seems to show his serious side when it comes to piano and serious subjects regarding his friends, especially his best friend and crush.
Yuki has always wondered why Tamaki and Kyoya are best friends when they're exact opposites. Yuki could ask herself the same thing. How did she and Kyoya end up having such strong feelings for each other when they're exact opposites?
They finished when the school bell rang.
"Thanks, Yuki. I enjoyed that very much." Tamaki thanked as they rose.
"Ditto." She smiled. They went their separate ways. When Yuki entered the classroom, Hikaru and Kaoru causally tossed their bags on their desks and and plopped in their seats. The desks and chairs collapsed, and they fell to the ground. Yuki laughed at them with the class as they glared at her.
