The girls giggled loudly as he ran his hands through Tamaki's hair and pulled him in close to whisper sweet nothings in his ear, causing the blonde to blush and the girls to go even crazier.

The two weren't dating. They were only friends but they put on this act because it's what their customers wanted. It wasn't the worst thing in the world. If [name] had to choose anyone in the club to do this with, it would be Tamaki. He was the cutest after all.

"You two are so cute together." A brunette girl squealed, clapping her hands together and running her eyes all over them. "How did you end up together again?"

[name] smirked and wrapped his arms around Tamaki's shoulders, caressing his cheek gently with one of his fingers. "Well, I noticed Tamaki here would always stare at me in class and blush every time I talked to him. I knew he liked me but I wanted to mess with him a bit before I asked him out."

In this pretend relationship, [name] was supposed to be the flirty cool one while Tamaki was the love struck, clingy one. They hadn't assigned themselves the roles. It's just how they both naturally acted around each other. "When I did ask him out, you should have seen his reaction. It was priceless. He nearly fainted! Isn't that right cutie?"

Tamaki laughed loudly, digging his face into his friends neck. "He's right. I was so shocked that he liked me back but when he kissed me, that's what nearly gave me a heart attack." He looked at [name] slyly. "His lips are so soft. I would love to kiss them right now. Do you want to kiss me?"

"Oh please." The girls whined.

"Not right now baby. You know I only like you kiss you in private." [name] gave him a look, wondering why he was going off script. They had never done any kissing stuff before and it was never brought up because it was just known that it wouldn't happen. "Sorry girls." He apologised, his act slipping and a nervous laugh escaping his lips as Tamaki continued to smirk at him. He had no idea what was going on.

"Oh, come on. I'm sure you can kiss me just this once in public. It would make both me and the girl very happy." Tamaki continued, leaning in close.

[name] leaned back quickly, accidentally falling to the floor with a yelp. The brunette girl stood up and rushed over to him. "Oh, my god. Are you okay?!"

"I'm fine, ladies." He smiled charmingly before turning towards Tamaki and clearing his throat. "I think I'm going to get a drink. You stay here and keep them company." He demanded, spinning around and nearly running across the room and aware from Tamaki's gaze. "What is going on with him today?" He questioned himself.

"You really don't know." Kyoya asked, raising an eyebrow as he looked at him. "I thought you were supposed to be smart."

"Hey..." [name] whined, a pout overcoming his lips and he crossed his arms with a huff. "I am smart. Tamaki is just acting weird. How am I supposed to know what's up with him? I'm not a mind reader."

"You don't need to be a mind reader to know what's up with him." Kyoya rolled his eyes. "Just think, why would he be all over you? Why was he the one that suggested you pretended to be boyfriends? And why did he want you to kiss him? If you can't figure that out, than you are stupid." He said bluntly, before looking back down at his laptop.

[name] gasped, offended at his last words before he took in what else his friend had said. Tamaki did do all that but what was that supposed to mean? He took a gulp of his drink. He could be in love with me. He immediately spat out the drink he had in his mouth in shock. "Oh, my god!"

Kyoya glared at him, taking off his glasses and wiping him down. "If you spit in my face again, it will be the last thing you ever do."

"Sorry!"

Hours had passed with [name] sitting by himself in thought. He had many girls come up to him and ask him why he wasn't with Tamaki and he simply said, it was because he wasn't feeling well and didn't want to get the blonde sick. Of course they awed at him before walking away.

He sighed loudly, putting his face in his hands and slumping his shoulders. What was he supposed to do? Tamaki was great, sure but did he really want to date him? He had never really thought of him that way before.

He stood up and walked over to the blonde, clearing his throat. "Um, can I please talk to you alone?" He asked politely.

Tamaki stood up quickly, wrapping his arms around him and squishing there faces together. "Oh, I'm so glad you're feeling better. I missed you so much." He spoke as if [name] hadn't been on the opposite side of the room. He didn't ask again and dragged Tamaki away from the girls, leaving the room and going into the empty classroom next door. "Why are we in here?"

"Because Like I said. I need to talk to you." There was a silence. "About earlier. How... you were trying to get me to kiss you. What was that about?"

"We're boyfriends, remember?" Tamaki laughed. "Why wouldn't I try?"

"Yeah, but Tamaki, we're not actually dating. It's an act." He said, making Tamaki's face fall. "But... I'm getting the impression that's not how you feel." He leaned back against the desk. "How do you feel?"

"I-I thought we were on the same page here?" The blonde rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly. "You mean to say that you don't like me like that and I've been fooling myself into thinking you did." He dropped to the ground, bringing his hands up to cover his eyes and a sob escaping his lips.

[name] eyes widened and he dropped down at well, grabbing his hands and pulling them away from his eyes. "Please, don't cry! I never wanted to upset you! I-It's not that I don't like you, I do. It's just... I think we should take things slow."

Tamaki stopped crying and sniffled. "So you do like me?"

[name] couldn't help but smile, looking down at the ground with a blush. "Yeah. I like you." A loud yelp came from him as Tamaki surged forward and tumbled into him, sending them both flying back down to the ground, [name] on his back as Tamaki nuzzled his chest. "Woah!"

"I'm so happy right now." Tamaki giggled.

Sequels were heard throughout the room and [name] snapped up to see the girls watching them with big eyes and grins. "You two are so cute!"

"We know." Tamaki replied before burying his head back in [name]'s chest.
