Unrequited

Chapter Four

The next morning, Tamaki awakens to a tiny blonde child curled up in his arms, a larger black haired Kyoya asleep across his lap, and a major headache. Tamaki can't bring himself to question the situation as he's woken up in bed with weirder people in weirder circumstances. He yawns and deposits Usagi in Kyoya's lap, standing up to get ready for the day. As soon as he opens the door, a heavy bucket falls, causing blood red paint to fall on his head. As he staggers back, trying to get the paint out of his eyes, he trips over a strategically placed wire that triggers a mound of glitter to fall on him. When he manages to stand up, a pie is slammed onto his face. He hears the evil laughs of the twins and silently curses his luck. He should have known that the twins would retaliate.

When Kyoya's eyes blink open at the commotion, Tamaki can see a smile grace his normally stoic features. He stifles a laugh, picking up Usagi and carefully carrying her towards the door. The twins guide him safely to the kitchen, leaving Tamaki on the ground with nothing but an evil shout of "Good luck!"

By the time Tamaki made it to breakfast, he had showered three times, been "glittered" four, "painted on" twice, pied six times, feathered once, and tripped seventeen. As he sits across from Kyoya, he silently resents the smirk on the shorter man's face.

"To be fair, you did deserve it." Kyoya says calmly, scooping baby food for Usagi. He gets the toddler to put the food in her mouth, and cleans up the dribble that inevitably falls out.

"Why do they always do this to me?!" Tamaki whines. Kyoya rolls his eyes.

"You did insult their fiance, Tamaki." Kyoya says absentmindedly, cleaning up after Usagi. Tamaki attempts to snap back at his friend, but is cut off by the phone ringing. Kyoya walks over and answers it. Tamaki hears him give a few terse answers to some questions before Kyoya hangs up. As soon as the phone is off, Kyoya throws it with all his strength against the wall, causing it to shatter. Tamaki jumps and walks slowly towards Kyoya. Kyoya shrugs off all of Tamaki's attempts to comfort him.

Soon Tamaki grows frustrated.

"Dammit, why won't you tell me what's wrong?!" Tamaki yells. Kyoya glares at the taller boy.

"If you must know, my sister was in a car accident. She is dead. Her husband also perished. My niece, Emiko, is now going to be living with me. I lost my sister and became a father in the same fucking day!" Kyoya snaps. And suddenly, Tamaki no longer feels worried about the twins' actions.
