"If the love between us is real, like I believe it to be, it will withstand something like this easily."
-Natalia Baldoni, Of Brains & Brawns

{No POV}
It was actually very interesting from the very beginning as the party finally went past it's first hour.
Everyone that could drink was drinking, every teenager present was dancing and having fun until Kareoke was called once set up.
With a sign up sheet that only people at the party could sign only other partiers present up to sing a certain song— in true Kasanoda fashion— it was no surprise that the party was going to get far more amped far more quickly.
After quite a few hilariously epic songs performed by the older adults that had been called up by Akira Morinozuka or Reiki Kasanoda came the real fun.
"Next is..." Began Reiki Kasanoda with a devious smirk.
"Takashi Morinozuka Natalia Baldoni Kasanoda singing Addicted by Saving Abel!" Finished announcing Akira with a matching evil smirk.
Takashi and Natalia were shocked and blushed sharing a glance as they realized they should've seen it coming.
They grabbed the mics after taking a calming breath and ran up to the set up stage.
They stared each other down in challenge as the music began and shortly Natalia started things off quickly approaching him and trying to coax him into action by caressing his cheek and pressing herself against his chest seductively shocking all of the hosts and teenagers who had been confused as to why the pair had blushed when the song was announced.
I'm so addicted to
All the things you do
When you're going down on me
In between the sheets
All the sound you make
With every breath you take
It's unlike anything
When you're loving me
Takashi smirked as he captured her hand gently eased her back and kissed the hand gently before spinning her around and holding her against his chest that way as he began caressing her red locks of hair seductively all while singing the next bit.
Oh girl lets take it slow
So as for you well you know where to go
I want to take my love and hate you 'til the end
It's not like you to turn away
From all the bullshit I can't take
It's not like me to walk away
Natalia smirked as she easily but seductively slipped out of his hold and suddenly pressed against him once more this time running her free hand through his hair and wrapping her leg around his waist as she and before suddenly toward the end of her verse bending backwards and seductively rising up to face him again causing Takashi to hold back a chuckle of both slight defeat and slight amusement.
I'm so addicted to all the things
You do when you're going down on me
In between the sheets
All the sound you make
With every breath you take
It's unlike anything
When you're loving me
Yeah
I know when it's getting rough
All the times we spend
When we try to make
This love something better than
Just making love again
As she finished she climbed down and with a challenging sway of her hips smirked as he took over control of both the song and their act by grabbing her around her waist and lifting her up in the air in a seductive way before putting her flush against him and bending her backwards gently all while gently cupping her cheek as he sings.
It's not like you to turn away
All the bullshit I can't take
Just when I think I can walk away,
I'm so addicted to all the things
You do when you're going down on me
In between the sheets
All the sound you make
With every breath you take
It's unlike anything
Then they smirked as she was put down and they began to sing together with no antics or anthing.
I'm so addicted to the things you do
When you're going down on me
All the sound you make with every breath you take
It's unlike anything when you're loving me
Yeah
When you're loving me
How can I make it through
All the things you do
There's just got to be more to you and me
Than she smirked and climbed up on him with just one leg until they were flush against each other is a rather seductive position while she took control and did something the audience nor anyone else except Takashi noticed.
She had actually gone and caressed his chest with her free hand as she sang.
I'm so addicted to all the things you do
When you're going down on me
In between the sheets
All the sound you make with every breath you take
It's unlike anything
It's unlike anything
Then he set her down gently and they sang the last of the song together.
I'm so addicted to
All the things you do
When you're going down on me
All the sound you make with every breath
You take it's unlike anything
I'm so addicted to you
Addicted to you
Everyone cheered the two on in their own ways before Akira announced the next song.
When the two headed down they played some games peacefully—for the host club, mind you— before things got very lively during Truth or Dare.
"Alright! Natalia-senpai, truth or dare?" Questioned Kaoru mischeviously.
"Dare."
"I dare you to kiss Mori-senpai on the neck."
"Okay."
She then, despite protest and fight from Takashi since he liked to keep things proper, kissed Takashi's neck making Takashi blush bright red.
"My turn! Miyu! Truth or dare?" Asked Natalia to one Miyuki Fukishima.
"You know I will never turn down a dare! So dare!" Miyu said excitedly.
Natalia smirked.
"I dare you to sit in Kyoya's lap for the rest of the game!" Natalia dared evilly excited.
Miyu shrugged and did it to the heavy protest and slight awkwardness of said boy.
"Hmm... Hikaru! Truth or Dare!" Miyu said happily.
"Hmm... Dare!" Hikaru answered.
Miyu smiled evilly.
"I dare you to tell Natalia-senpai, aka our living lie detector friend, a lie that nobody could ever possibly see through except a living lie detector." Miyu dared causing the others to gasp as without a moment's hesitation Hikaru turned to Natalia.
"I am madly desperately in love with Haruhi Fujioka." He stated with a straight face.
Natalia gasped.
"It's a tremendous lie." Declared Natalia.
"Wait... So when did you figure that out Hikaru?!" Questioned Kaoru.
"I've been in love with some one else since middle school just like you have Kaoru." Hikaru answered honestly.
"Was it..." Hinted Kaoru secretly.
Hikaru nodded. "Okay! Tamaki-senpai! Truth or dare!"
"Dare!" Tamaki answered looking like an excited puppy.
"I dare you to kiss Haruhi!" Stated Hikaru noting that Ranka was watching angrily from the pole he had been tied to by Natalia since he tried previously in the night to take Tamaki completely away from the group of teens.
Tamaki flushed red and sputtered right along with Haruhi.
"No way i can do that!" He exclaimed.
"Why not?! And dont give that trashy excuse of her being your 'darling daughter' or i may puke." Hikaru said annoyed.
"Because... Because... because..." Tamaki began getting more flustered and quiet as he spoke.
Haruhi was now confused but intrigued.
"WHY TONO?! WHY?!" Hikaru questioned loudly annoyed further.
"BECAUSE ITS CLEAR SHE DOESNT FEEL THE SAME WAY I DO ABOUT HER!" Tamaki finally revealed in a shout before realizing all eyes including Haruhi's looking at him in shock.
He then promptly created an emo corner nearby.
Haruhi sighed about to get up when it happened. Hikaru got fed up.
"Tamaki-senpai!" He called out calling the attention of Tamaki.
Then he kissed Haruhi on the lips.
Tamaki exploded would be putting it all too lightly. He immediately lunged at Hikaru and punched him almost all the way across the yard section they were using, and then quickly held him down going to punch him again only to be stopped by Haruhi placing her lips on his.
They broke apart a moment later and blushed.
"H-Haruhi..." Tamaki mumbled flusterdly.
"I... I feel the same way, Tamaki-senpai..." Haruhi mumbled back in response.
Everyone watching smiled including Ranka who was being kept company by Yuzuru Suou and Natalia Baldoni.
At this point Takashi was chasing a somehow drunk and out of it Mitsukuni and Yuri through the yard as the two were pantlessly running around. Hikaru and Kaoru were currently being mischevious by messing with Kyoya and Miyuki all while playing other party games.
"I can't believe in the end i was right..." Ranka whined in annoyance.
"I know you haven't had the best encounters with Tamaki. But Tamaki is actually a wonderful person." Natalia piped up.
"He gave up everything to make Suou-san and his grandmother happy. He does anything humanly possible to make everyone around him happy. Often times ignoring his own happiness. He loves deeply and is definitely one of the kindest people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. You should give him a chance." Natalia said with a smile before jumping into the fray of running teens to help Takashi catch the two little shorties that were running around pantless.
Ranka was lost in thought when Yuzuru spoke up.
"If there is one thing I am ashamed of is having allowed my mother to seperate Tamaki from his mother. Tamaki even as a young little boy would stay indoors and take care of his sickly mother rather than be a normal child. He never got the chance to be a normal kid. I gather that's why he likes to let loose so much and acts so immature at times." Yuzuru said making Ranka double take.
'So much like Haruhi... I can see how they might have started bonding to be closer than friends...' Ranka thought to himself with a defeated smile.
"They're a lot alike in that case..." Ranka said.
"Hm?" Yuzuru said his attention now focused on Ranka.
"Haruhi has always been so independent. When my darling Kotoko died, she was so closed off... She became so independent, she started doing and handling everything by herself. She even filled out all the paperwork to Ouran all by herself... I wish she would depend on me more. And thanks to Tamaki and the rest of those kids she has slowly begun to depend more on me and on other people." Ranka said with a slightly saddened smile.
Yuzuru smile and patted his shoulder gently.
"They make each other better people." Ranka said positively.
Yuzuru smiled.
-After several hours-
Everyone sans Takashi and Natalia now asleep the two teens sat down at the porch leading inside of the estate looking up at the stars.
"I... I want you to hold off from choosing me until after your party." She finally spoke up making Takashi stop and look at her noticing her beauty.
"Why?" Takashi asked monotonously.
Natalia sighed.
"Because... I want you to make absolutely sure that I am the one you want. Takashi, I am not a good person, I think we both know that very well. I also live in the shadows just as much as I live in the light. I'm a Kasanoda, and I'm also the Yakuza Diamond. I'm also a very dangerous person to love Takashi, aside from the Syndicate work, I also have my scientific work, not to mention my business. I just want you to be certain that you really want me. I'm not telling you to choose someone else. Just that you should take your time to think everything through and just enjoy your birthday party. When the time comes, make your choice, whatever it might be, we'll figure things out from there." Natalia explained.
"Are you sure?"
"If the love between us is real, like I believe it to be, it will withstand something like this easily." Natalia answered before turning her smile at him.
He was in awe of her beauty once more just as he had been when he had first met her officially when they were no older than 4 years old.
Her red locks shined in the moonlight and her icy blue eyes shined so enchantingly it left him breathless.
And so, right then and there, for Takashi the decision was obvious.
"Okay." He replied looking back up at the starry night sky.
Eventually they fell asleep looking at the night sky and talking about their fondest memories.
