Unrequited

Chapter One

Tamaki awakes to a cloudy day and an annoying chirp emanating from his phone. He glances at the screen to see a text from the first born twin, Hikaru. He groans and elects to ignore it in the vain hope that it would leave him alone and let him sleep.

Not even a minute later, Tamaki's alarm goes off. He ignores the urge to whine and turns to wake Haruhi. With a shock he remembers that him and Haruhi have been broken up for almost a year and a half now, and therefore wouldn't be in his bed.

Tamaki groans and sits up, looking to see what Hikaru texted him.

'Hey Haruhi! Kaoru and I miss you... We want to play with our favorite toy ;) You should skip out on lunch with Tamaki and come back to the house... Climb in bed with us... See what happens... ;) Kaoru says that I should let you be but I know he wants to play with you too... At any rate, drive safely sweetheart. We love you'

Tamaki winces at the text, hurt. Haruhi hadn't told him that she started dating the twins. He knew she had gone on dates, but the thought of her with anyone else still makes his stomach hurt.

'Wrong number Hikaru. It's me, Tamaki.' Tamaki types quickly, trying to ignore the hurt feeling gnawing on his heartstrings.

'Oops. Sorry your majesty, didn't mean to send you that. Have fun with Haruhi at lunch today. And NO FUNNY BUSINESS!' the ginger responds, somehow not making Tamaki feel any better. The lonely blonde decides to get ready. It's long past breakfast, and he has no doubt that if he ate he wouldn't be hungry when he met up with Haruhi.

As Tamaki sits, waiting, he wonders vaguely when Haruhi and the twins got together. He knows that the twins had a huge crush on Haruhi during high school, but he didn't know that she shared any feelings. The jealous part of him hoped that this relationship with them was a fling like most of her other relationships after her and Tamaki broke up, but in his heart he knows it's not true and hopes that she's at least happy.

Tamaki begins to lose hope as Haruhi is a half hour late, but feels relieved when she walks through the door to the cafe.

"Sorry I'm late, I had some important business at work to take care of," she says, happily brushing her hair behind her ears.

In the moment she spoke, Tamaki noticed two things that seemed off; the first being the silver band on her ring finger. It's gorgeous and expensive, designed to look like two rings moulded into one. The ring part closest to her was studded with authentic blue sapphires, and the other ring part was studded with gorgeous orange citrines. It's clearly an expensive engagement ring. The second thing he noticed was the baggy shirt Haruhi wears. It's loose and comfortable, but clearly very expensive. Tamaki recognizes it from the Hitachiin Clothing Company's maternity line.

Tamaki feels rage flow through his blood. He puts on a smiling face, pulling the seat out for her so that she can sit down. She chatters idly about her job as a lawyer for a while until Tamaki can take it no more.

"You're pregnant," he states, dangerously calm, interrupting her explanation about her newest case. Haruhi looks taken aback.

"Um... Yeah. That's actually kinda why I called you here today. I wanted to tell you about the baby. And formally invite you to my wedding of course," she says, cluelessly happy. Tamaki grits his teeth.

"You can't marry them. It's illegal," Tamaki says, anger seeping into his normally calm voice.

"Well actually, Kyoya pulled a few strings, and-"

"So you're going to marry the twins. That's disgusting." Tamaki hisses. Haruhi looks offended.

"What the hell is wrong with you, Tamaki?! Why the hell would you say that!" Haruhi snaps.
