Refreshing Points
" I'm so sorry boys I'd love to have you all as guests but I'm afraid there's only one vacant room left. "
' What's this I hear? '
I looked at Misuzu and saw her talking to some people outside. I woke up a little late so, I missed breakfast, but I'm glad I did. I walked outside to see all of the hosts standing around Haruhi and Misuzu.
" Only one room you say? Well, that settles it. I'll have to stay here to represent the club. " Tamaki said with his back still turned to me.
" Hey, that's not fair. " Honey said with a pout.
" Have you no feeling of loyalty, of any solidarity boss? " Hikaru said teasing Tamaki.
" Togetherness is our guiding principle. " Kaoru said, joining his brother.
" What are you guys doing here? " I asked, stepping in front of them.
Their eyes seemed to widen seeing me there. I raised my brow at them and waited for them to tell me how they got here and why there was a helicopter sitting behind the fence.
" Y/n! "
Tamaki tackled me, and when his arms wrapped around me, his weight pushed me back, and I fell on the grass. My back hit the grass, and Tamaki laid on top of me.
" Tamaki, get off of me! "
" Princess, when did you get here?! "
" I've been here. I'm staying in one of the rooms. I didn't really fancy being home alone for the first bit of summer vacation so I called Haruhi and came here. Now, get off of me, please. "
" But hugging you like this is so nice. "
I felt my cheeks get warmer, and I pushed him off of me and stood up. I dusted myself off and looked at Haruhi.
" We thought we were safe. " I whispered to her.
" Yeah, we thought we could be safe. "
" So, what's going on? "
" Ms. Misuzu is having a refreshing contest between the hosts. The host that gets the most refreshing points gets to sleep in the vacant room. "
" Why? "
" Because they want to stay here because I'm working here and they can tease me about it. "
" Well, at least you have me. "
" Right. "
" Is there anything I can do to help? "
" Can you compete and win the room so they won't win? "
" I don't think I can. I'm already renting a room. "
" Please. "
" Sorry, Haruhi. It's not something for me to meddle in. Anyway, I think lunch is calling me in the main area. I'm going to go eat. "
( Time Skip )
" So, how's the game going? "
" It's going. It's between Kaoru, Hikaru, and Tamaki. "
" Is no one else competing? "
" Apparently everyone has a cottage around the area. Kyoya is going to stay at his cabin so he doesn't stay here alone. Mori won't stay unless Honey wins. Honey is too involved in his cake. The twins are doing really well, and Tamaki...is falling behind a little. "
" At least he's trying. "
" Yeah, but it's turning against him. "
" Hmmm. "
I looked towards the piano and wondered why he didn't figure out that he could get points that way.
" Excuse me. "
I stood up from my seat and walked to the piano. I saw a music book sitting on the stand attached to the piano. The book was thin, but the cover was beautiful with many colors on it. I grabbed the music book and walked outside to find the blonde prince. I found Kyoya reading a book, but I couldn't find the leader yet.
" Kyoya, do you know where Tamaki is? "
" He's sulking over how he hasn't received refresher points over on the grass. "
" I don't understand how he hasn't figured out about the piano in the pension. "
" Helping him? "
" Why not? He's at least trying to work hard. He just needs a helping hand. "
Kyoya smiled at me from behind the book, and I could see it just a little bit. He looked over to the left, and I saw Tamaki laying on the grass, looking worn out. I walked down the steps to get to Tamaki, and when I reached him, I crouched on the ground in front of him.
" How are things going? "
" Hello, princess! It's not going so well, but I'm going to keep trying! "
" That's good. Can I make a suggestion to you? "
" What is it, princess? "
Tamaki sat up, and I sat on my knees in front of him instead of crouching. I held the book out for him to take.
" I remember you said you played the piano for your mother all the time. And I've heard you play before, you're quite good. There's a piano in the pension. If you play that maybe you could get some refresher points. "
Tamaki stared at the book for a moment before slowly taking the book from my hands. He looked through all of the pages, but he stopped on one particular page. I could see his eyes gazing over the notes, and I knew he picked the piece he wanted to play. I stood up and held my hand down to him.
" Come on. I'll lead you to the piano. "
He grabbed my hand and stood up from the ground. He was silent as I took him inside and towards the piano. I walked behind the piano, and Tamaki sat down on the bench. He placed the music book on the stand with the piece he wanted to play in front of him. He took a deep breath before playing. I went to take a seat and listen to him play. Everyone in the pension seemed to come into the room and listen to him play. His fingers moved so gently on the keys, and the music was calming. His playing lasted for what felt like hours of calming peace and serenity until he finished the piece. He set his fingers on the keys and rested his hands.
" That was perfect, Tamaki. " I said, clapping for him.
" Thank you, princess. "
" One hundred points for brotherly love! A perfect score! And the prize goes to the Hitachiin brothers! " Misuzu announced.
Tamaki stood up, and his face read shock. The other members walked up to stand beside him. I walked up the steps to join him. I patted his shoulder, and it seemed to have brought him out of his trance.
" You did good Tamaki. "
" Thank you again, princess. "
" If you want, Tamaki, you can take my room. You worked really hard. "
( In the mind of Tamaki )
The sun rose high in the sky as it awoke people to the new day. The sun rays shone through the windows to the pension. In one room, the sun rays went through one window that was left open during the night, and the cool breeze walked through the room. Tamaki was lying in the bed with only his pajama bottoms on, and his eyes were shut. He opened his eyes slowly and smiled at the person beside him. He pushed Y/n's back closer to his chest and snuggled into her neck. The bedsheets over them were thin and soft, and their legs were tangled together. Y/n shifted in Tamaki's arms and turned towards him with her eyes open. Her eyes looked up at Tamaki as a light red-coated her cheeks.
" Did I wake you, my princess? "
" No, I just happened to wake up. " Y/n said in a voice that was soft as silk, due to it being morning.
" Well, good morning my dear. "
Tamaki draped his arm over Y/n's waist and held her to him while his other arm laid underneath her head, and he caressed Y/n's head.
" Tamaki, we should get up. The others are coming in a bit and we need to get up. I don't want them to come in and see us like this. "
" What does it matter if they see us like this? My princess, we are together and that's all that matters. You're here in my arms and that's all I care about. We are two people in love, there is nothing to be embarrassed about. "
" Tamaki..."
" Let's stay like this, for a while longer. "
Tamaki looked down at Y/n, who was looking up at him. Their eyes sparkled, and they started leaning closer. Their noses brushed against each other, making the two chuckle and giggle. The eyes of the pair slowly closed, and their lips were inches from each other, their breaths mingling together.
" Tamaki..."
" Yes, my princess? "
" Tamaki. "
" Princess? "
" Tamaki! "
( In reality )
" Tamaki! " I yelled.
I grabbed his arms and shook them, bringing Tamaki out of his thoughts. He shook his head and looked down at me, with his cheeks turning a little red.
" Is, everything okay? You zoned out for a minute. "
" Everything is fine, princess! I was just thinking! "
" Okay...so do you want to take the offer? "
" Oh, yes! I'll stay in your room, with you! Thank you for being so kind and loving to your prince. "
" With you? Tamaki, I'm not staying in the room if you're sleeping there. "
" Wha? " Tamaki asked with his demeanor changing.
" Kyoya said I could stay with him, so you could stay in the room here at the pension. That way you can relax. I'll see you in the morning. "
I walked away from Tamaki and towards Kyoya. I told him I was ready, and we walked to the limo outside. Kyoya opened the door for me, and before I could take a seat in the limo, I heard a voice calling for me.
" Kyoya! Princess, wait! "
Tamaki ran towards us, and he grabbed my hand with both of his. He took a breath, with his cheeks still dusted with red, and yelled,
" Stay with me! "
" What? "
" Stay with me in the room! "
" Umm, Tamaki don't you think it'll be a bit weird? A man and a woman sleeping in the same bed? "
" It won't! It won't be weird! Who says it'll be weird!? "
" Okay...I guess I'll have to take a raincheck on that offer. "
" Thank you, princess! "
