Haruhi's twin

Chapter 58: Charming Prince Tamaki!

Emi's pov

To be honest, I haven't been in a good mood the last two weeks and I wasn't sure why. Even though, I felt happy being surrounded by my friends and Kaoru, I still felt horrible on the inside. It was possible that I just had a case of the slumps but with this going on for two weeks, I was beginning to see a decline in my attitude. I finally had the chance to talk to Akihiko, one on one, and it seemed to do well. I apologized to him for calling him horrible names and he apologized for being so insensitive towards Ian and his feelings. This week, I decided it would be best to sit with Tamaki-senpai since he usually managed to cheer me up if I felt depressed. It wasn't all that bad to sit with him actually, yes, he could be loud and sometimes annoying but overall, I had a good time with him. Most of the time, Tamaki-senpai was the one who actually knew how to cheer me up when I felt bad like this. He was someone I genuinely could talk to when I needed to spill my soul to someone other than Haruhi or even Kaoru.

Before club started Yori seemed to notice that I wasn't in a very good mood. So to try and cheer me up, he made me his famous cup of a chocolate milkshake. And even though I usually cheered up when drinking this shake, this time was different and I didn't know why. It seemed that even Tamaki-senpai noticed that I was still in a really bad mood, so he decided to try and cheer me up himself. Since I was in a bad mood, I tried not to seem so cold to the girls or the other hosts. Today, we were dressed up as young princes and princesses. Tamaki-senpai being the prince from a far off family, Honey and Mori-senpai being his older siblings while Kyoya was his advisor. Haruhi and I coming from a smaller royal family with Yori being our advisor and the twins being from another royal family. It was decided that Tamaki-senpai would be a suitor among many of mine, who would have to try and convince me to take their hand in marriage. Of course, they decided to dress me up in a puffy dress which annoyed me to no end. Anna wasn't apart of club this time since she had been enlisted by Nekozawa-senpai for help with something for his club, I was happy to learn that someone had joined his club.

"So Princess Emi.." One of my male customers asked, I shifted my blue eyes over to him wondering what he wanted to say.

"Yes?"

"Why are you sitting with Tamaki-senpai? I would have thought you wanted to sit beside Haruhi. He's your brother, is he not?"

"Well... Yes, Haruhi is my twin brother... But I just wanted to sit with Tamaki-senpai today. He makes me happy." I said, smiling at the violet eyed young man sitting beside me as he entertained a customer.

"But Princess Emi, what about me?" I turned my head to the left, spotting Hikaru. It was strange to see him away from Kaoru, but at the same time, they both were also suitors of mine.

"You make me happy too, Prince Hikaru." I said, giving him a smile as I stood up and greeted him. He bowed to me, making the girls in the area swoon as Hikaru simply grabbed my right hand and gently kissed it. I blushed as his soft lips made contact with my skin, as I wasn't used to that kind of gesture from him. I then sat back down in the couch, as the customers around us watched, swooning over how handsome they both were.

"Ahem." I heard Tamaki clear his throat from his spot, his violet eyes closed.

"I think you're forgetting something, Prince Hikaru."

"And what would that be, Prince Tamaki?"

"That I am her suitor. Her favorite suitor." His eyes snapped open, finding their way onto Hikaru who only smirked.

"Ah, but you forget, Prince Tamaki. I am also a suitor of hers. Much more a favorite than you are." Hikaru teased.

Tamaki chuckled, shaking his head at Hikaru's statement. "You are very wrong. I didn't forget that you are among many of her suitors, Prince Hikaru."

"Then why did you laugh?"

"Because Prince Hikaru.." Tamaki lifted his head, he scooted closer to me and I had no clue where this was going. "I am the number one suitor of Princess Emi's. And I don't plan on losing to the likes of you." He stated, determination shinning in his violet eyes.

"Oh really?"

"Yes, really. Prince Hikaru." He said, "Tell me," A smirk appeared across Tamaki's lips and that's when I noticed the mischievous glint in his eyes. "Do you really think you can out charm me and win over, Dear Princess Emi's heart?" Tamaki asked, I looked over at Hikaru who started smirking, obviously liking the challenge.

"Oooh!!! They're challenging each other to charm princess Emi!!" A girl squealed, causing the other customers to cheer and squeal.

"It's on."

The first thing that happened was Hikaru bringing me over to a small table, this table was covered in food. And because I was feeling rather hungry, I definitely wanted to eat it. But before I could pick something, Hikaru picked something for me to eat. He held it out, the small sandwich appearing in front of my lips. "Here you go, Princess. Would you mind if I fed it to you?" His voice sounded so seductive, causing a blush to appear on my cheeks. I nodded, opening my mouth and took a bite out of the sandwich. Everyone started squealing as they saw how quickly flustered I was getting, which seemed to piss off Kaoru. After he finished feeding me, Tamaki- senpai pulled me away from the table and brought me over to a couch. He pulled me closer to him, as he turned on his charm.

"Princess, you are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen in my life. You truly are something out of this world. I have never met such a beautiful girl as yourself, who never holds back in her beliefs and always stands for what is right." He pulled my body closer to him, our faces just an inch away from one another. All of the girls started screaming and swooning over Tamaki's actions and my flustered state. His free hand was under my chin, tilting my head slightly so I could look up at him while his other hand was wrapped around my waist. Our noses were just an inch away from one another, as well as our lips so I could feel his breath hitting my face. It didn't smell bad either, in fact, it seemed like mint and his cologne smelled amazing. My blushed deepened, as I stared into his violet eyes. I have to say, I was not expecting Tamaki to do anything like this. "Thank you, Princess. For being such a lovely young woman." We stayed like this for minute before he pulled away from me, my cheeks still burning bright red.

"Judging by the blush on her cheeks, I say, Tamaki has won this." Kyoya-senpai said, pushing up his glasses. Tamaki let out a cheer, as they girls applauded him while Hikaru just muttered under his breath.

Oh dear lord, they really know how to make a girl flustered. When my eyes made contact with Kaoru's, I could see that he was not happy. Oh boy, he's going to really make me more flustered when club ends.
