Them [O. H. S. H. C. ]

"I'm bored!"

I sighed, sparing a glance in his direction.

"Tamaki, I need you to shut up. For just one minute."

"Okay!"

He began ticking off the seconds using his fingers.

"1, 2, 3,"

I groaned in annoyance, pelting an unsharpened pencil at him. He leaned to his left, and the No. 2 whizzed into the wall.

"20, 21, 22."

"Oh, for god's sake!"

I slammed my laptop shut, and made my way over.

"45, 46, 47-"

I swooped downward, leaving little to no reaction time.

"That shut you up..."

His eyes were wide as saucers, the shock resounding.

"I...um..."

Lacking every bit of host club charm, he pulled me forward into another deep kiss.It lasted for about a minute, me tip-toeing to match his height.
We broke apart, the mingled scent of soap and cool mint lasting on my lips.

"60."

I laughed.

"61, 62, 63."

I playfully tugged his hand.

"And 64."

"Shh."

He placed the cap of his ballpoint pen, to his lips.

"Why?"

"It's a library."

"You can't talk in libraries! Ouran kids do it all the time..."

"Ouran is a special case," he promised while tapping the pen against his jaw.

I shook my head, recalling a bunch of chattering students cramming four seater tables with six to seven people.

"Okay, what do you need?"

"A book."
I shot him a grumpy glare before refocusing on the aisles upon aisles of hard copies, paperbacks, and the good, solid classics.

"Well, here."

My fingers plucked the first book off the first shelf (which happened to be Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet) and thrust it into his hands.

"That's not what I meant-"

"Have a nice day."

I called out to the security guard posted in front of an ionic column (outside the library).

"Really?"

He strode forward, clenching the leather bound copy of a cliche, romance novel.I tarried in front of the limousine, as he made his approach.

"Be careful!"

I scolded him on his clumsiness as he accidentally dropped the book.
He sighed, at my motherly attitude.

"Wait a second," I waved the book, "did you even check this out?!"

He fumbled with his library card.

"Yes..."

"Didn't you need a specific book?"

He nodded.

"And that was it?"

"Yes, Ms. -----. It's for training."

"Training?"

"Romantic training. Tamaki's been polishing my underused host club skills. He said this was the key to making our first kiss special and since we were here-"

He stopped abruptly, turning his back to the conversation. Using my pinky (like fulcrum), I maneuvered to his front.

"Our first kiss?"

He bobbed his head, slightly annoyed by his discomposure.

"Really?"

He answered "yes" with a subtle eye twitch. I laughed, loudly, before jerking him down by his striped purple tie.

"The Kyoya Otori looking for dating advice."

I snickered again, before pulling him into a kiss, our first.
▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️
"You're a complete idiot."

"I prefer the term dashing rapscallion."

I flicked him, my fingers curled into a C.

"You're not a pirate."

"But I'm still-"

I held up a finger, slicing the sentence, an unspoken half lingering on his tongue.

"And you're not handsome either."

He pouted, looking slightly offended. That soon grew into a daring smirk.

"Then why are you dating me?"

"Because you're my only option."

I saw a lightbulb flash, in anime form, above his head.

"Oh no..."

I swiveled and hid between a break in the lockers. He caught on and jerked me up with too much strength. I nearly toppled over.

"Baby, what did I do wrong?!"

His arms enveloped my waist. I shrugged them off.

"I was only trying to..."

He had attracted the states of a few stray students.

"Wait, what?"

"Don't play stupid. You ran away from our kiss..."

"What the hell are you talking a-"

It dawned on me. That evil twin (they always said Hikaru was the worse of two)  was setting me up, forcing me into an awkward social position; this is where I'll be driven to say yes (it's peer pressure, kids).

"I wanted our first kiss together to be magical..."

I didn't reply.

"Won't you give it a chance?"

A few girls seemed lovestruck, while a handful of guys cheered him on.
It grew into a large crowd chanting

"Say yes!"

As I said, peer pressure. Without a choice (or so it felt), I leaned in to his lips, and gently placed mine on top.
I'd never been so appreciative of "peer pressure" before.

Short. But hey, I tried. Kaoru and Mori fans just you wait for "Lipstick II". Your magical moments are on their way. That's all for now.
