「Anime x Reader One Shots」

Rose (Tamaki Suoh x Reader)

Day by day, Tamaki couldn't help but stare at the girl in the garden. Of course, you never noticed him with your nose buried so deeply into your novel. Perhaps you didn't notice him, but he definitely noticed you. You intrigued him in a sort of way. A piqued interest of his that he just couldn't ignore.

He could tell you had never attended the Host Club before. In any other circumstance, he would've felt hurt by that. After all, what girl could possibly ignore the charms that the king of the Host Club had to offer. But now? If anything, it just made him grow even more curious about you. It wasn't often that a girl would pass him up for something else - and certainly not for a book.

The following day, Tamaki found you in your usual spot on the bench. He couldn't help but smile as your hand was quick to put a loose strand of your (H/L), (H/C) hair behind your ear. You looked stunning; even able to look gorgeous in the plain, yellow dress that was part of the Ouran school uniform. The scenery of flowers that surrounded you only added onto it.

He yearned to make his way over to you, but his body froze. Was this what being nervous was like? Never before was Tamaki ever scared to converse with a girl. Being able to excel at that was practically his whole high school experience! If that's the case, then why was it so different with you?

After finally being able to force his body to move, he started walking towards you until he sat down on the bench next to you. You immediately snapped out of the trance the book had put you in once you felt the presence of another person. You almost thought you were hallucinating when you noticed the attractive blond sitting next to you, looking at you expectantly with beautiful blue eyes.

"H-hello," you said nervously to him as you finally looked up from your book.

"I'm sorry to bother you, my dear," Tamaki replied sheepishly. "I just thought you looked a little lonely so I wanted to come join you, miss...?"

"Just (Y/N). Well, thank you for being so kind, but I'm fine here with just my book."

Tamaki's face blanched. What was he supposed to say to that? He was expecting you to immediately melt at the sight of him like every other girl did. Why weren't you the same as the others? It would've made this all so much easier for him, but to be quite honest, he didn't mind having to work hard in order to win you over just as long as he would succeed in the end.

"Well, um, I was just kind of hoping I could enjoy my afternoon looking at such a beautiful view. Oh, and I guess the flowers, too."

Blushing at his words, you nodded slowly directed your eyes back to the book you held in your hands. As hard as you tried, you just weren't able to pay any attention to the words in front of you. Your attention was fixed on the boy next to you who you couldn't help but keep glancing at as if to reassure yourself that he was indeed real. In return for your glances, he offered you pretty smiles and kind words that often made you blush. What on earth was a boy like this doing here with you?

As school was released the following day, you found your way back to your usual spot nestled deep in the garden with a new book in your hands. It didn't take long after you began to read to realize that your brain wasn't processing a single word written on the pages. The only thing going through your mind was wondering if Tamaki would show up again. Even though it disrupted your beloved reading time, you didn't mind all that much. This boy made you feel something that no book would ever manage to do.

Unbeknownst to you, Tamaki beared a present in his hands as he made his way into the garden. He still couldn't understand why he was so enraptured by you. He even left the Host Club early in order to guarantee he would be able to spend some time with you.

His heart noticeably sped up as he spotted you on the bench with your nose deeply buried into a book as usual. Walking as quietly as he could over to you without disturbing you, he placed the crimson red rose he held in his hands on top of the page you were reading from causing you to snap out of your trance. A smile broke out on your face at the sight of him.

"An elegant rose to match the beauty of the one holding it," he said as you held the flower in your hands.

"I'm glad you came," you told him. It was probably the truest thing you've ever said. After all, you hadn't been able to get him off your mind since yesterday.

"I'm glad you waited for me."

After taking a seat next to you, he slowly placed his hand on top of yours. Your body tensed at the sudden contact and you had an urge to finally ask him the question that was on your mind the whole day.

"Tamaki?" you asked hesitantly.

"Yes, beautiful?"

"Why... me?" your voice cracked when you managed to finally get the words out. "I know you own the Host Club and all, so why show any interest in me when you have all those girls fawning over you all the time? Am I some sort of sick game?"

"No, no. Not at all! I can't exactly describe why I like you so much, but I think it has something to do with the fact that you're not fawning over me. You're able to see me for who I truly am and not for just my looks."

Reaching his hand up, he pushed back a loose strand of your hair before cupping your cheek. "Everything I feel about you is completely genuine, (Y/N)."

Before you could speak, he leaned in closer to you and pressed his lips against yours. Shock overwhelmed you as his lips slowly began to move against yours. As your confusion began to subside, you moved your hands up until your arms were wrapped around his neck. Both of his hands were placed on your face, pulling you even closer to him.

After several seconds passed by, he finally pulled away, the kiss leaving the both of you breathless. Panting heavily, you couldn't help but stare up at his stunning blue eyes. This gorgeous, flirtatious boy had just stolen your first kiss and you didn't mind one bit.

Tamaki bore his charming smile on his face as his thumb slowly caressed your cheek. "(Y/N), I'd really like it if we could-"

"Tamaki's got a girlfriend! Tamaki's got a girlfriend!" the twins chanted, popping out of nowhere as they snickered at their boss.

"You shady twins ruined the moment!" Tamaki screamed, standing up suddenly to get ready to chase the pesky boys.

Before he could run after them, you grabbed his arm and placed a small peck on his lips to stop him. His anger quickly subsided thereafter. Wrapping your arms around him, you hugged Tamaki tightly. Bringing your lips to his ear, you whispered, "They could never ruin this moment for me."
