Enjoy, review and cheers!

I stand in the prep room by myself. The long, black extensions of hair lay down my back. A long, deep purple dress falls over my feet and rests on the ground. The sleeves are long and fall over my hands. I'm wearing a C-cup bra that's stuffed to make me appear to have breasts. Tamaki made me dress like a woman for the guests today. I have no idea why; It's Tamaki. He probably has some sort of strange reason to dress me like this. Literally. Tamaki insisted on helping me get dressed.

"Mommy! Let me help you get dressed!" he said to me as he ran towards me.

I pushed him away from me. "In your dreams," I told him as I walked away, trying to hide the fact that I was blushing.

Tamaki walks into the room. He immediately sees me and walks over to me, smiling.

"You look beautiful, Queen Kyouya," he says to me, kneeling and taking my one hand. He kisses the top of my hand gently.

He's dressed as a king. He's even wearing a crown.

"You're missing one final touch though," he says, pulling something out from behind his back and placing it on my head."You need your crown." He steps back to look at me. "Perfect!"

"Tamaki," I say to him. "Why do I have to do this?"

"Because," he says taking my hand once again. "I am the king of the host club, and you are my queen."

"Whatever," I say. He keeps babbling on about how pretty he thinks I am when I'm dressed as a woman. We walk out in the club room, and the other members enter.

Haruhi is dressed as a young prince. The twins are dressed as jokers, one as a male joker and the other as a female. At least I'm not the only one who's dressed as a girl. Mori is dressed as a royal guard. He even has a double bladed axe. Honey is on his shoulders and is dressed as the herald of the court. He has a medieval bugle in his hands.

"I welcome you, the royal court," Tamaki says to me.

I look at everyone. "I have to say, Tamaki," I begin. "This idea is actually quite a good one. I'm impressed."

"Really?" he says happily. "Thank you, Kyouya!" He hugs me tightly.

He turns to the other hosts. "Tell me," he says to them. "Doesn't Kyouya look absolutely beautiful in a dress?"

The other hosts exchange looks. I look straight at Tamaki. "Knock it off."

"But you look so pretty," he says to me, placing his hands on either side of my face.

"I don't care," I say to him.

"But I do," he says looking me straight in the eye.

I roll my eyes at him.

Suddenly, the twins start laughing.

"What?" I ask them. Tamaki gives them a questioning look.

"You look so fake, Kyouya-senpai!" Hikaru says to me, laughing.

"If you're talking about my boobs," I say. "I am still a man, so I hope they look fake!"

"I still think you look beautiful, Mommy," Tamaki says to me in a voice that sounds like he's trying to calm me down.

My cheeks suddenly become warm and start to turn pink. "The guests will be here any moment," I say, pushing my glasses up and using my sleeve to block my face. "We should get in our places."

"Everyone to your places," Tamaki says. "Mori-senpai, guard the door, Honey, wait for everyone to enter before you begin. Hikaru and Kaoru, you know what to do."

Everyone follows orders and everyone but myself, Tamaki and Haruhi move into place.

"Honey-senpai will introduce the three of us since we're part of the royal family," Tamaki says. He leads up off, hidden away from everyone else.

I can hear the guests gather into our "royal court." I hear a bugle and hear Honey introduce us.

"Hear thee! Hear thee!" Honey begins. "I am proud to introduce the Royal Family of Ouran!"

All three of us walk out together, and everyone else bows to us. Tamaki takes a seat on the middle throne. I sit on the throne to his left, and Haruhi sits on the throne to his right. Tamaki stands and puts his hand up to silence everyone.

He puts his hand down once again, resting in on his chest. "I thank everyone for joining us in the Royal Court of the Host Club today," he says.

Everyone cheers and applauds. When everyone becomes silent, Tamaki continues.

"Enjoy yourselves today, where the Royal Court is at your service," he finishes.

Everyone cheers louder and applauds again. Tamaki reclaims his throne next to me.

Everyone goes about their business. Tamaki leans over to Haruhi.

"Go out there and host," he says to her quietly. "I want some alone time with your mother."

"Don't you think this whole thing is a little much, senpai?" she asks as she stands up.

"Of course not," Tamaki replies. "Now go."

She walks off into the crowd and out of sight.

He sits back up and looks at me. I naturally sit with my legs crossed femininely, looking down at my hands in my lap.

Tamaki lifts my chin up and has me look at him.

"Why are you so quiet?" he asks me.

I shrug my shoulders.

"I sent everyone away, so I could be alone with you," he says.

I feel my cheeks warm up. Tamaki smiles and leans his face close to mine, and rests his forehead against mine. He looks deep into my eyes. I can feel the eyes of everyone in the room on us. I look out of my peripheral vision and see everyone is looking at us. I look back at Tamaki. He moves his parted lips toward my lips slowly. I part my lips slightly as well. Then, it happens. He kisses me on the lips in front of everyone. His lips are warm, soft and full. I kiss him back. They leave a wonderful sensation behind when he takes them away. He looks at me with his gentle violet eyes and smiles gently.

"I love you, Kyouya."
