Ouran-Life moves on

Contest Winner- Buckle

Kyouya X Tamaki

Theme: Basically Future, and relationship secret.

-------------  

I can't believe it has been a year already, and the whole year, I couldn't be happier. Tamaki and I have been dating, yet somehow, have kept it a secret this whole time. I thought for sure Tamaki's loud mouth, would go firing off at one point, in fact that was the reason I didn't want to make my feelings for him open...at least I didn't until he opened them to me. But seeing that even an idiot like him and keep something like 'us' a secret, I agreed to going out with him.

But now the real trial of our love will be tested, for everything we know and love we will be leaving. That's right, our host club family.

For what is a family without a Mother and Father? I guess Haruhi and the twins will have to figure that out on their own, I did give them a pan-flit of everything that is expected in the host club, and Haruhi is very smart, I'm sure she can take over the host clubs defecate without much trouble. I lay my job in her hands, with an at eased mind.

The twins will take over Tamaki's job without any debate, in fact I'm sure they took his place long ago, Tamaki just didn't know it.

More and Honey have already left, yes the club suffered, but only by a little, once the girls got use to them being gone, they started to come back in full; as much as they are missed I won't lie when I say, I am grateful...the cake expense dropped extremely. It's amazing just how much money the club had left over, simply for not having to buy cake.

The twins talked about new members wanting to join, I trust there judgment, I'm sure who ever joins will meet all of our qualifications, Tamaki on the other hand wants to meet the new comers, but I know I can talk him out of it, no need for him to get all worked up over something he can longer be part of, even if it was his own idea. After all, its better then closing it altogether; we had first considered ending the program once Tamaki and I left, but the twins seemed to be very hurt by this choice, and Haruhi seemed to have picked up on it as fast as I did and agreed to take over the expenses and hosting if it meant keeping the club alive. I always knew that young lady would make a fine host member and keep our beloved family alive. Our club would have ended much sooner if not for her, course I will never admit this out loud; but at the same time, I'm sure she can tell, after all, she is just like me when it comes to reading people. She really is like my real daughter, hum, it's a very interesting notation if I do say so myself.

Tomorrow I start my first day at collage with Tamaki. As much as I can't wait, I'm in no hurry, once there we won't be seeing much of each other since our classes are so time different. But I guess that's for the best, if we were to run into each other during brake Tamaki would most defiantly drag me off somewhere in 'privet'. Not a way I would want to start off my first year at collage.

But I'll have all the time to think about in the morning, I better get to bed now so I can wake up early.                                          

**

The morning never is that bad, I mean, I'm not much of a morning person, unlike Tamaki, but when I get just enough sleep the early hours of the day are not unwelcomed.  

Today is the start of something new and will change my life forever. See, I'm studying to become a professor in medicate research. Though I can't say it was my first choice, it is my best option. For I'm already a well skilled business man, going to school for that would be a waist, considering I'm not interested in taking over the family company. I think after my demonstration of power simply by the management of the host clubs income, my father got the message and has allowed me more freedom then I had even unanticipated, but I'm not at all complaining.

Tamaki will be waiting for me outside the school gates I'm sure, he will want at least a good day kiss, which who am I to deny him? I want one myself.

I can see the school now, and like always, I am right, Tamaki is waiting for me. Well better go to him before he gets to hyper active.  

"Kyouya!" he is already yelling out to me, he must already be hyper. I just hope he does not pounce on me, I don't think my body can support his weight anymore, not that he's gained any, he is just so much taller now, if my estimation is right we went from one inch apart to three, me of course, still shorter compared to him, only now it is noticeable.

Tamaki is now in front of me, and very close to my face; I swear, I still can't believe how fast he can move.

"Can you believe it Kyouya, we are at last starting our life long dreams!" Yes, I can, but no point in busting Tamaki's bubble, I hate to see him mop, especially on the first day of our careers. Come to think of it Tamaki never did tell me what he wanted to be...I recall him saying something about wanting to find a career field in hosting, but I don't think he every really told me what he had chosen to study. Well might as well ask. "What have you chosen to study Tamaki?"

He's giving me that confused face, why am I not surprised, he hasn't even thought about what to study. I think he is going to give me a headache before class can even start.

"Don't you remember?"

What did he just say? Ow, I think I hurt my neck snapping it up as fast as I just did, what does he mean 'do I remember?' He never told me! Wait...

I feel Tamaki's warm hand on my neck, so much for trying to remember now.

"It's okay Kyouya, I did tell you at a bad time, it's no wonder you don't remember." he is smiling that sweet 'I understand' or 'I forgive you' smile; well one thing is for sure, he must have told me at a time he thought was special, or important. But then why can I not recall it?    

I'm glad I know how to keep my face unread, even by Tamaki, because I'm scared. Scared because I don't know what had happened to keep me from remembering something like that? Which leads to what else do I not remember?

"I shouldn't have told you right after wearing you out, I know how much you need sleep right after love." his smile is growing. Well at least he is right about that, if he did tell me that night right after taking each other, he knows I practically pass out after his turn, that is why I'm always first to be top, he has so much more energy, once he flips us and it's his turn with me, I'm just about so out of it I never stay awake to see his face after words, little-lone hear him.

"I am going into teaching, my grandma won't let me take over the company, so my father is making sure I get the best education, once I graduate, my father will be making sure I work at Ouran High school." I can't help but smile with him, that is good news, despite the bad. But Tamaki did say he wasn't interested in taking over the company when I first met him anyways, so I know the news wasn't as painful as it could have been for him.

I look at my watch, my first class will start soon, "I have only a few more minutes before I have to go Tamaki...I'll see you after class." I absentmindedly began to walk away but felt Tamaki stop me, pulling me quick and swiftly he planted a kiss on my lips and let me go.  

As much as I love his kisses, I have to get to class, and keep a safe distance from him for the rest of the day, as painful as it is for the both of us, he understands as do I.   

I think I shocked my teachers, they obviously weren't expecting me to excel in all my work in just one day. But I'm use to the reaction, it doesn't faze me. I wonder how Tamaki is doing in his classes, guess I'll find out tonight, the only time we can be together, unlike me Tamaki has a dorm room. I will be staying over one last time before the school routine takes over.

Ah I see Tamaki now, his classes for the day should be over by now.

"How did it go?" I hope that didn't come out as consented as I think it did.

Tamaki's smile slowly faded, "I have to stay in for tutoring, but I can meet you back at my drom after words." his smile is slowly creeping back.

Um, I have a choice, I could go home, do more work, rest, eat and then head to bed...or I could go to my secret boyfriends dorm room and maybe fall asleep after finding a bit of food and waiting until he gets back. It never takes me long to weigh my choices.

"I think I'm going to head home for the day, I still have a bit of work to do, and my computer is at home."

I know Tamaki is about to cry, but he will get over it, besides it's not like I can't see him tomorrow.  

"Okay Kyouya." I almost didn't hear him because he is now so hurt he is whispering.

I feel bad, it's not that I don't want to spend time with him, I just have a few more things that need to be done, and besides there is a slight chance me being there alone for so long might get us both in trouble.

"I'll see you tomorrow, I can come over then..." getting up with the help of the table I heard Tamaki speak.

"You won't be able to..." I looked over at him, his head now up and looking me in the eyes. "Tonight is the last time Kyouya...school will be taking up both of our time, and…," he is thinking, I can tell, "I wanted to see the host club. I won't get another chance...and I...don't think I can handle not seeing them at least one more time."

Gosh, why does he have to sound so broken? But at the same time, why am I feeling just as hurt?

"Okay, Tamaki...I'll be waiting." I caved, I ways cave. I'll be going to his place tonight...and seeing the remaining host club.      

I can see the light in his eyes, and I can feel his vibe of wanting to kiss me. Putting my hand up I gently remind him, "We are in public Tamaki." and the vibe is weakened.

"I'll see you letter then, Kyouya." I love to see him smile so big. Turning to leave he places, his room key in my hand and passes it off as a handshake. He can be very clever for someone so often dumb.                       

The way to his dorm was peaceful enough; I don't even know what time Tamaki's tutoring ends. Well I guess I'll just have to find a way to work without my laptop.

Ah, here is the room, now to just unlock it, there we go...um, it's nice. The room is not as small as I first would have thought, but it is roomy. There is a bedroom, a nice small kitchen, and a bathroom complete with tube. Yes Ouran Collage is much to marvel at. I kinda feel sad I won't get to see Haruhi's reaction once she starts to attend. Speaking of which, she must be the reason Tamaki wants to go see them, she always has been the apple of Tamaki's eye, in fact the only reason why Tamaki had even shown interest in me was because of Haruhi's long time friend. After he confessed to still having feelings for her, she felt bad about not noticing them when they were in grade school and deiced to give him a shot...they have been dating for a good two years now. It's almost funny, in a painful kind of way; it takes one heart break to open a new door you never even knew was open the whole time.

Well what happened, happened, all we have now is to keep moving, I think I'll get a bath while I wait...at least here I can take my time.

The water is hot, but not too hot to burn me. I have a habit to add bubbles in the tube thanks to Tamaki, he loves them, and slowly I have grown to love them too.

The cool rim of the tube feels nice against my back mixed with the warm water engulfing the rest of me. I'm done washing up I just want to lay here...I know Tamaki will be a while, and he won't mind anyways, so I'll just take a slight nap right here.

"Mommy..." Hm? I can hear a voice...its soft, yet seems so far yet close at the same time. "Wake up..." it's still so soft, yet, ah...there is a hand on my leg...wait-

I can hear myself groan as I open my eyes, the bright bathroom light hurts. I never took off my glasses so my vision becomes clear in a moment. What I see before me I know I'm blushing, and I can just image how funny I must look with my eyes wide in shock.

Tamaki is in the tube with me, hovering just above me, he is smiling and sits down just the opposite of me. "Enjoying yourself, Kyouya, my love?"

I took a slow calming breath, "Sorry Tamaki, I didn't know when you would be back..." I should probably start to get out before Tamaki decides otherwise.

"Wait Kyouya," Too late, I feel him push me back. I was kinda afraid of this...but I'm not about to stop it...at least the over relaxed part of me doesn't want to. It is the last night after all. But if he wants us to have enough time to see the host club before it's done for the day, maybe doing this now would not be the wisest.

"Tamaki, the host club," I have to sallow the slight sudden lump, damn I hate that. "It will be ending soon, if we want to see Haruhi and the others, leaving now would be best, it's almost four."   

I know Tamaki understands. Trying not to get my glasses wet I stand up with Tamaki. The beam in his eyes always makes me smile.  

**

I'm just as excited to see the others as much as Tamaki, but sometimes I feel embarrassed just being near him, its times like this I'm glad no one knows we are together. Tamaki just leaped onto Haruhi the same why he did when he met me. It's kinda funny, her reaction is just priceless, trying to push him off, and yelling at him, almost like the time Tamaki took out her before and after picture when she was new to the club. Um, I miss those times.                   

The twins are both holding up a picture; well they seem to be doing better, not that they weren't doing fine when I last saw them, it's just now they both have a girlfriend, twin sisters, thou not so much twins as in looks, just by birth means. the two can be told apart without any problems, one has long black hair and thin, the other has short brown hair and is just a slight bit chubby. I may not be able to tell them apart but their voices do give them away, Hikaru says his girls name is Mayi, she is in the picture with brown hair, and Kaoru says his girl is Amy. They sound nice enough, I mean they seem to make the twins proud to be with them, and ever so happy.  

Tamaki is jumping around, it seems he is looking for someone, I have no doubt its Haruhi's boyfriend, Tamaki should know the boy has more respect than that, if he knew there was going to be a host club family reunite, he wouldn't come.    

Oh, it seems Honey and Mori have just showed up, would explain the sound of the door opening and girls outside screaming in excitement...those two really are missed; I'm sure Tamaki and I are too, but unlike those two, we came in through the back, not front.

Its amazing what one year can do, Honey is no longer riding on Mori's shoulders, in fact Honey looks to be to tall to do that anymore. I always wondered when that kids growth-spurt was going to kick in.

Mori seems unchanged, still the tallest out of all of us, and just as emotionless. I don't know why people seem to think I am the emotionless one, at least I smile, I don't think I've ever 'really' have seen him smile.

"Tama-chun!" Well at least I know his voice hasn't changed one bit. Honey is still hyper and sweet as always. Seeing him up close to Tamaki I can now determine his height, he is at least one inch shorter then me, seeing he is four inches shorter then Tamaki.        

"Hello Kyouya." I hear Haruhi talking to me, now that the club no longer has a mother and father, the term simpai no longer used. Haruhi is still so short, out of all of us, she has not changed at all...I can image what she will look like when her growth-spurt kicks in like Honeys'.

"Hello." I always smile when I talk to her, we have become such great friends ever since she really started to enjoy the host club.

"How have you been lately? My dad won't stop talking about how you never come over any more the visit him." glad she sees humor in that, because I don't. I have made it my job to get to know her father, but for him to suddenly want me there when I no longer have meaning to, is kind of nerve racking.  

I find I have to fix my glasses, guess it's just a habit, one I'm trying so hard to stop now that I'm in collage.
"Well, I guess he is just going to have to get use to it, I'm no longer in the host club with you so there is no real reason for me to come by." she's giving me that 'oh bother' look. Now I find humor in it. I always did love picking on her, when you are surrounded by a pack of idiots for years and suddenly a smart one enters the group, you just can't help yourself.

"Did the twins tell you we are going to have new members joining us next week?" I knew there were going to be new members, but I wasn't sure just when they were attending.

"I got news about something like that." I can't help but close my eyes as a huge playful smile comes to me. I know she will take it just the way it is intended, a 'joke'

"Alright, so you did find out." she sounds annoyed, but I know better. "Anyways, there are four of them, and one of them looks and acts like you." yep there is that humor in her voice and that big smile.

"You don't say." I have to play back, I miss it and won't get another chance like this for a long time. She nods, I love playing back and forth with her, I always did think she was made for either me or Tamaki, of course, unknown to anyone else, I put others before myself, if she hadn't picked her long time friend to be with, I would still be trying to get her and Tamaki together.

"I told him he could help out with the host club budget." This makes since, after all one person can't do it alone, except me of course, it's in my blood after all.    

"That's sounds promising." I'm not lying, it does, she could use the help.

I was enjoying myself a little more than I thought, because I didn't notice Tamaki walking my way until now. He is in front of me.

"Come on Kyouya, we have class tomorrow." he holds out his hand to me. Might as well take it.

"By Kyouya! Bye Tamaki!" I see Honey waving, and so are the others.

"Enjoy collage you two." Haruhi is smiling, she must have more to say, "Next time we meet I expect to see each of you with a girlfriend." yep, I knew she had more to say, thou I wasn't expecting that.

Tamaki is unable to say anything, good, I don't think I want him to answer. "We will see Haruhi, next time we meet I expect to see you with a baby." I'm joking but she will get my point.             

With that I push Tamaki out the door before he finds something of his own to say.

***

We are back at Tamaki's dorm room, I have already had my bath so I'm going to change and head off to bed. Tamaki will follow I'm sure.

Laying in bed, my glasses safe on the nightstand I hear Tamaki speak next to me.

"Kyouya?"

"Um.." I'm tired, but I will hear him out regardless.

"Do...you think we end up finding a girl...like the others?" Why did I have a feeling he was going to ask that?

"Well Tamaki...I don't know, no one can predict the future...but if we really love each other then the answer would be no." I know I love Tamaki, but Tamaki being bi makes me wonder if he really loves me, or if I'm just a convinces for him.

"I'm not just a convinces for you...am I Kyouya?" Holy cow! Did he just read my mind. I have to roll over to face him.

"No Tamaki...you're not...I love you." he is beaming again. I love that look, it fits him so well. He pulls me close.

This is the last night we will be together like this for a long time, school will be taking over our time starting tomorrow. It will be hard on us both not being able to see each other until summer. Only then will we be together, and still keeping it a secret, one day will come when we will announce it, but that day will be once life is out of the way, and we can move in together and live out the rest of our lives.

This last night we will make worthwhile, and tomorrow we will look forward to the future that lies before us.

And the future looks promising from here.
