Tomoki's POV (Later that day...)

I heard my bedroom door open slowly, having a small creak sound from it having me freeze up, now alert. Was Grandmother back?! I hurriedly hid my sketch pad underneath myself, my head snapping towards the door only to see it was the twins. I sighed in relief

"Don't scare me like that you morons!" I scolded them, scowling

"Oh, this is your room? We were just looking for the bathroom." I rolled my eyes, getting up and walking over to them with my arms crossed

"Down the halls second door on the left, didn't my brother give you guys directions?" I asked them, raising my eyebrow curiously

"He did, but we didn't know whick hallway so-"

"-We barged in on you by accident." Kaoru finished Hikaru, having a little twin moment

"Fine. Just don't let it happen again-" Kaoru walked past me, cutting me off as he walked towards my bed, where my sketchpad was lying at! I hurriedly grabbed Kaoru's wrist and tried to pull him back, only he wasn't having it. I was practically skidding across the marble floor of my bedroom as Kaoru dragging me since I wasn't letting go of him. I looked around, looking for my baton and noticed it was under my bed. I groaned, realizing that before I could even get to the damn baton Kaoru would have the sketch book in his hands! I glanced behind me, now noticing that Hikaru was missing. Where the hell did he go?! I asked myself and looked around my room once more, seeing he was no where to be found except for his twin brother who was extending his hand towards the sketchbook

"Don't you dare shady twin!" I yelled, trying to pull him away from my bed again. Without my knowledge, I felt myself falling, and since I changed out of my boots, I was just wearing plain white socks, only having me slip and fall to the ground, pulling Kaoru with me from my body weight weighing down on him. I felt the back of my head collide with the flooring, having me groan in pain and tightly close my eyes. There is going to be a goose egg at the back of head for the rest of my life now, hooray for me. I opened my eyes only for gold ember ones to stare back at them. Kaoru's face was inches from mine, having both of our cheeks tint pink in embarrassment. My breath was caught in my throat, not expecting this to happen. My hand was still holding tightly onto his wrist while his other hand was holding himself up so he wouldn't crush me. The only good thing out of this was that he didn't have my sketchbook, but, this predicament was pretty awkward, especially for us. After a moment of silence, and the constant ache in my head, he spoke

"You okay?" He asked me, concerned but still flustered

"Yeah, just a little ache in my head, other than that I'm fine. Are you okay?" I asked him and he nodded. He slowly got up then helped me up by pulling me up by my hand, that was clutching his wrist before but fell down into his hand. I nodded at him, letting go of his hand awkwardly and grabbing my sketchpad and turning back around to him, sighing

"Fine, you can look through it, but as an apology for bringing you down with me." I stated, hoping that he wouldn't see some of the things I created on the pages. I handed him my sketchpad, and he immediately let his eyes fall on what I was currently working on. A piano with two kids playing on it, one was a girl with blonde hair and a blue butterfly clip in her hair and a boy with the same blonde hair as the girl. The kids were smiling, you could tell even though you could only see a little bit of their face. Kaoru smiled at the picture, knowing instantly of who those kids were

"When Tamaki would play the piano, I was always right there, listening to him. He always told me once I got older, he would teach me how to play it since I was so fascinated by the music he played." I smiled inwardly, then frowned knowing that never happened

"Why don't you want anybody seeing your creations? These are really good." Kaoru stated, flipping through the pages at the other things I created

"Can't. I'm not even supposed to be drawing, Grandmother forbid me from it. Since I tend to draw things from my past and things I'm not able to express myself." I confessed, watching Kaoru flip through the pages with a interest spark in his eyes. He stopped suddenly, the drawing of him and the Host Club

"Is this, us?" He asked me and I slowly nodded

"Tamaki tends to talk about you guys a lot at dinner when no one else is around except for me and the staff. He speaks so highly of all of you, and so when I met you guys, I drew all of you and what makes you, you." I stated

"You knew Haruhi was a girl?" He asked me and I nodded

"Kinda hard not to miss, since when I was little I used to play dress up, occasionally stealing Tamaki's clothing and dressing up as him, even cut my hair once that looked similiar to his." I lightly laughed at the memory and he chuckled

"He must have been your idol."

"Yeah, but now, not so sure." He handed me back my sketch pad, nodding in understanding that I didn't want to dwell on the subject. I heard a limousine pulling into the driveway, alerting us that Grandmother and Father were home

"I should clean this up before Grandmother sees it." I muttered to myself, walking over to my walk in closet and hiding it under some clothing thrown into the corner, Kaoru handed me the pencils. (A/N: My mom read this and it made me feel so uncomfortable! She even mispronounced 'limousine' as a fruit XD). I stuffed them underneath the bundles of clothing that I never wore. I stood up, turning around

"You should go, she wouldn't be happy seeing a boy in my room." Kaoru nodded and turned around but stopped

"By the way, you should open up more, it's bad for you to hold everything down, let things out once in a while." Kaoru told me, smiling at me. At that moment, in my closet, as dirty as that sounds, he made my heart skip a beat.

To Be continued

Hello! So, I know I was supposed to update last night but I fell asleep before I could XD. So sorry about that yesterday was LONG day for me. Okay, now to what took place in this chapter. We had Tomoki open up to Kaoru by letting him see what she drew in her sketch pad! Meaning Kaoru has a chance! Now, the reason why Kaoru is going to be the one Tomoki hopefully falls in love with is because he sort of balances her out. One of you guys who suggested Kaoru being her love interest stated that with Kaoru's mature and easy going attitude would help her loosen up more and be more kind to others. Now, if I would have chosen Hikaru, that would have been a entirely different story, They would basically just fight which isn't healthy for a relationship, especially when they are just trying to help Tomoki get out of this betrothal with Alphonse. Also, one of you (can't remember who it was so I'm sorry) got really protective of Tomoki thinking that the Host Club would play with her feelings, I found that pretty funny all in all and that means that you guys care about this character that much to actually get really defensive about her. I just loved that because that means you guys have a connection with her. :3, now, before I make this any longer, please let me know of what you thought of this chapter and I was wondering what instrument she should play, since Tamaki never got to teaching her how to play the piano, I feel like she should play a different instrument. The only thing is that it has to be a Classical Instrument, not something like a Guitar or anything like that. Thank you guys so much for the support and I will see you all later! -Golden
