Tamaki sat on his thrown thinking about his boooooooooooooring love life. Kyoya walks in with his nose in a book and sits at a table, carrying his tea and not withdrawing his eyes from the pages of his novel.

"Kyoya, let it be known to everyone that I'm now single... and ready to mingle." He gives a wink.

Kyoya waits to finishes the sentence he is reading to respond and even still, not breaking his concentration from the book. "That's quite nice."

Tamaki goes on to daydream about girls. "I want a ginger." Kyoya laughs. It's not directed to what Tamaki said, but to a hysterical part in the adventurous story he is reading. "Are you laughing at the King?" Kyoya gives a shrug. Tamaki now gives this 'cool type' a command. "Bring me a ginger."

"As you wish..." Leaves and minutes later comes back, pushing not one, but two gingers in front of him. Then he returns to his book.

"Hikaru... Karou.... Kyoya, what am I supposed to do with these?"

"You said a ginger, did you not?" Looking up from his book with a face of amusement.

"I wanted you to bring me a more... female... ginger." He gives Kyoya a slight glare. The twins exchange identically confused looks.

"Oh, I see you don't like males?"

"Well, I wouldn't mind a male. If... he could live up to my expectations."

"And... what are your expectations?"

"I need a man who can handle my looks." He smirks.

"Ah! I see." Kyoya gives a smirk as he picks his book back up. "and nobody can!"

"Yes!... uh, wait... wwwwhat do you mean by that?" Looking him up and down as if the question was directed to his whole body.

"Oh nothing..." He returns to his book.

Tamaki marches over and snatches it from him, he finally looks up at the prince. "Oh hello, Tamaki. Can I help you?" His main intention was to annoy Suoh.

But the only response he got was, "Yeees. You can tell me what you meant by, 'Ah! I see. and nobody can.' When I told you I needed a man that can handle my looks. Were you mocking me?" He gives Kyoya a cold glare as the Hittachins snicker in the background.

"I have no idea what you're talking about." Shows a chilling smirk. Tamaki tries not to get annoyed, but he doesn't play this game well. He hits him in the head with his own novel and storms off to his room with it.

"You've done it now, Ootori." Hikaru comments.

"He has just gone on one of his tantrums." Kyoya explains as he follows Tamaki.

"OUT!" Tamaki throws the book at him. "You are not allowed to see this body... since... 'nobody' can handle the sight of it!" He sobs hard in his shadowed corner.

"I was only joking, Daddy..." A faint smirk crosses his face. Tamaki continues to scowl but he is slowly starting to give in.

"Fine. I'll just take my book and leave." Grabs his book and starts to exit.

"H-have fun then!" Not actually believing him.

"Oh I will. Have fun sulking."

"W-what???" He was now giving in to this foolish game. "You're actually going to leave me here... alone, Mommy...?" Gives a little grin and the evil light in his eyes brighten.

"Well now, I thought you needed your space. Would you like me to stay?" He fixes his glasses as he speaks in a matter-of-factly way.

"I wouldn't mind..."

"Ok then." Takes a sit by him.

"Hello."

"Hello!" He smiles a little at Tamaki's density. They sit in silence as Kyoya reads.

(Tamaki's pov)

I stumbled out of bed in my night clothes. Once in the kitchen I went to get my favorite cereal from the cupboard only to find that Haruhi hadn't bought more yet.

"Make oatmeal." A voice from behind me suggested. I turned to find Kyoya was already eating. His face, of course, was hidden behind a book. I make myself oatmeal... such labor! Then I sat by him and tore the book from his grasp.

"Why must you keep taking my book?"

"I can't see your face when you burry your nose in that nonsensical book." Kyoya only took the book and continued reading. I confiscated it once more, walked over to the dishwasher and with his pleads for me not to do it, I threw it in. He sighs and takes a bite of his food as if just now realizing it's there.

"Lucky for you I have second copy." Of course he does.

"Look, you need to spend time away from books. I know... you're really wanting to take things to the next level in your relationship." I give a wink and he looks lost. " But you should really get out and see other inanimate objects."

"Take things to the next level?"

"Yeah, like dabbling in Homer or Janet Oak. But you need time off books."

"Very well."

"So you agree?"

"Do I have a choice?"

"Not much of one. Now, I dare you to ask the nearest person out." I moved real close to him, almost nose-to-nose, as if I could be anymore obvious.

"You want me to ask you out, don't you?"

"Huh? What's that you said.... ya wanna to go out with me?" I acted shocked in an over dramatic way.

He gave in and let out a sigh. "...yes, Tamaki. I wish to take you out. Would you enjoy that?"

"We shall have to see."

"Is that a no? Should I ask that girl, the one sitting over there?"

"What girl?" I look up with a new found interest, but there was no girl to be seen. He laughs and I pout at him. "Hey..."

"It's amusing how I can say the word "girl" and you suddenly lose interest in me." His eyes lower. Oh, Tamaki, have you messed up again? It seems every time I try to express my feelings for Kyoya... something goes wrong.

"No. I... grr." I let a sigh and slowly lift up his chin so his eyes are level with mine. I saw both worry and wonder in his expression. I pressed my lips to his thin, wiry one. I felt him melt. Good, at least I know he is enjoying it... or maybe it's killing him. I pulled away and noticed his cheeks were a rosy color.

"D-does tha-" His voice came out a little high so he cleared his throat and tried again. "Does that mean you'll go out with me?"

"Yes." My violet eyes examined every inch of his face, processing his expressions.

"Great." He takes out another book from practically no where and started to read it. I didn't mind, I finally figured out what makes that mysterious man tick. And now he's mine.
