Hemalyn left an hour later after cleaning some more of her room and rearranging, leaving it in a state that would be suitable for her to sleep in that night. She told Mythica that she was going to a friends house, not bothering to tell her a name with the promise of being home before dark. Mythica took it and thought that it was just her hanging out with Vani, but how more wrong she could be.

As Kyoya promised- Outside waited a limo to drive her to Haruhi's apartment. She let the driver open the door for her and helped her climb in so she didn't hit her head.

The car ride was shorter than expected and found herself being surrounded by buildings again, heading towards the not so rich part of the city. She has been through here a few times. A lot of her mothers' favorite cafes reside here, and wasn't unfamiliar with her surroundings. If left stranded, she would had found her way back sooner or later.

The limo parked on an off street, confusing Hemalyn until she heard the driver's voice.

"Miss Alderain. I was given orders to park a block away from Fujioka's home due to the public." Hemalyn blinked, her mind wondering why that was.

She didn't further question and only listened to the driver's directions to Haruhi's apartment. She left the limo and walked away, watching him pull out and leave the vicinity before anyone on the street could see he was here. He must have been doing this for a while to be gone that quickly.

She easily followed the directions, and was happy to see that she could actually pick out which apartment building it was. As the twins stood right in front of Haruhi's door with arms waving frantically.

"Hemalyn~!" They called excitedly. Hemalyn gave a shy wave, making her way across the street and op the stairs to the second floor of the building. They offered their hands to her with slight bows.

"Uh, hi..."

"Aww don't be shy with us-" Hikaru spoke, his smug smile emphasizing his words, "-We are friends after all." Kaoru finished and they both grabbed her wrists, Hikaru opened the door and the two pulled her inside.

"Hema-Chan!" Hemalyn felt sudden weight on her as Honey launched himself onto her frame, wrapping arms and legs around her. Hemalyn staggered backward, knees wobbling from the sudden weight added to her and just not having that much strength to carry him.

"Mitsukuni." Hemalyn heard Mori speak, noticing her weakness. Honey seemed to realize his mistakes, feeling her shake under him. "Oops! Sorry Hema-Chan!" He apologized and jumped off of her, seeing her breath out a sigh in relief.

"It's alright..." Honey began to gush about various things, including Hemalyn's shy self which he found cute and soon enough, Hemalyn was dragged further into Haruhi's apartment.

Hemalyn spotted Tamaki, seeing him twirl a spoon in his tea thoughtfully. Honey squealed again, alerting Tamaki as he looked up to see his crush standing in the same room as him, being pestered by the twins and Honey alike.

Hemalyn hesitantly took the only open spot around the table, finding the room a bit cramped with all of them in there, but then again it looked to be only able to house a few people, not 8 people. She ignored her claustrophobic tendencies when Haruhi walked on with more tea.

"Do you want some tea, Hemalyn?" Haruhi questioned which Hemalyn shook her head at, unfazed by the clothing Haruhi wore which seemed to be more feminine. This came as a surprise to Kyoya, as he was expecting her to question it but said nothing to point it out.

"I don't really like tea..."

"How about coffee then?" Tamaki perked up, thinking of the commoner's coffee. Hemalyn would be able to witness and taste the beauty of it-

"I don't like coffee... T-Too bitter." Hemalyn didn't mean to stutter, but the twins found it cute. "Aww- She is nervous~" Hemalyn blushed, hiding her face behind the sleeve of her sweatshirt.

"No she isn't you shady twins!"

"How about some water then?" Hemalyn simple nodded, not wanting to cause trouble but Kyoya soon butted in. "Miss Alderain actually like hot chocolate, if you have any Haruhi." The ginger tensed, not expecting those words to fly out of his mouth.

"How do you know Kyo-chan?"

"I took notice of it since her visits to the club room, she began carrying a thermos with her that contained hot chocolate."

"So obervant!" Haruhi only chuckled with a nod as Hemalyn shrunk more into herself in embarrassment.

"If you want hot chocolate, that's fine. I can whip some up. It will be from packets though if you don't mind." Hemalyn shook her head, not minding if the hot chocolate was homemade or from packets. Hot chocolate was hot chocolate.

"Commoner's hot chocolate!?" Tamaki asked excitedly and Haruhi rolled her eyes. She left the room, leaving Hemalyn to calm herself down from her nerves. She didn't expect herself to get embarrassed so quickly.

"Hema-Chan~" Honey was suddenly behind her with his arms draped over her shoulders and situated around her neck as he hugged her from behind.

"Huh?"

"You look really cute when you blush!"

"Uhhh... T-Thank you I guess, Mi-itsukuni..." Honey frowned, peering down at her. "Call me Honey! I told you to call me that before..." He pouted and Hemalyn frowned.

"I'm sorry..."

"Don't apologize." Mori told her briefly, sipping his tea carefully so he didn't burn his tongue.

A brief moment of silence passed between them, the only voices were of the twins who had accompanied Haruhi in the kitchen to see the making of hot chocolate by use of packets instead of actual chocolate and milk.

"Who's wedding are you going to next weekend?" Tamaki asked her, keeping his voice down so the twins don't suddenly hear and begin to pester her.

"Uhh... I don't really know them personally."

"Their names?" Kyoya questioned, catching onto their conversation quite quickly as he had nothing else to do besides listen in to the two lovebirds' conversation.

"I d-don't know that either. Apol-l-logies." He may not apologised, mentally cursing at herself once again for stuttering.

"Let me know when you find out. I would love to send a congratulations to them." Tamaki told her, watching her nod as she mentally loaded that into her memory. Tell Tamaki who they were when she finds out. Gotcha.

Haruhi and the twins returned, not expecting to see the twins with their own hot chocolates.

"I only had three packs. So I couldn't make one for each of you. Sorry!" Haruhi apologized, setting Hemalyn's cup in front of the tense girl.

"That's quite alright Haruhi. It is only just hot chocolate." Kyoya replied, content with just his cup of coffee. Hemalyn's hands grabbed a hold of the mug, feeling the warmness that inflamed the porcelain (The hell are mugs made out of?).

She blew on it carefully, half-listening to the conversation that began.

"No hot chocolate for your daddy?" Tamaki pouted and Haruhi sighed heavily, "Yeah Haruhi, not even one for your Daddy~" Their words were cut short with a glare that could cut through tempered glass from Haruhi. (A/N: Note to self, daddy and Daddy is being used in two different contexts, I will let your imagination run wild). Hemalyn couldn't help but snort quietly at the two's response, glad that she didn't take a sip of her hot drink yet.

"Aha! See Hemalyn thought our joke was funny!" Kaoru called excitedly, pointing an accusatory finger at Hemalyn who felt herself begin to shrunk back into herself.

"I don't get it." Tamaki muttered innocently, not getting the joke. (Oh you sweet innocent child).

Kyoya smirked, finding something new about Hemalyn, she knew of dirty jokes. How? He didn't know, but certainly showed that there was indeed more personality underneath her shy exterior. "How is the hot chocolate, Hemalyn? Hope it isn't too hot for you." Hemalyn shook her head in response, briefly letting her mug down but still held in her grasp and in the air.

"Oh, I haven't tasted it yet."

"Really now?! I guzzled all mine down already!" Hikaru stated, referring to his empty cup.

"That's because you have no self control."

"Kaoru~ That's mean..." Hikaru pouted and looked away from his twin only for Kaoru to place his finger underneath his chin, making him look back at him. "I'm sorry. If you want more you can drink it from my mouth." Of course, Hemalyn had been taking a sip and could feel herself choke on the hot chocolate, but none of it ever escaping her mouth.

Tamaki grabbed the mug out of her hands and patted her back, helping her through her coughing fit after she swallowed the hot chocolate, sputtering to get the tubes in her neck back in order.

"Are you okay?" Hemalyn nodded, letting out a few more coughs behind her hand as the twins found themselves laughing at her reaction. Seeing the blush that resided over her cheeks, somehow making her freckles more prominent. Tamaki rubbed her back as she finish her fit, clearing her throat to regain her composure.

"You guys did that on purpose!" Haruhi smacked the two upside the head, receiving 'ows'. "We wanted to see how she would react-" Kaoru began with a small wince, "-We couldn't pass an opportunity like that!" Hikaru finished.

"Ahem, t-the hot chocolate is good, Haruhi." Hemalyn spoke with a small smile. Haruhi smiled back. "Hope you don't mind that it wasn't made with milk. The twins here are lactose intolerant-"

"In exception to ice cream. Never pass up ice cream." Hikaru quipped.

"Oh really? I don't mind at all." Hemalyn stated, noticing the happiness she felt at Haruhi's words.

"Good."

"Hemalyn is lactose intolerant as well." Tamaki spoke up quickly before the topic died down.

"Oooo~" The twins chimed in together and Hemalyn gingerly to another sip of her hot chocolate, actually noticing this time around that it was just made with hot water. Still good nonetheless.

"What do you use in place of milk?" Kaoru asked her and Hemalyn shrugged, "I just don't eat dairy alot."

"Soy?"

"Disgusting..."

"Almond?"

"Only with other t-things."

"I can agree with you on those. But we just say screw it half the time."

"That's basically your guy's life motto." Haruhi stated, "Yeah, that's the point.".

Hemalyn noticed at the corner of her eye that Tamaki was staring at the mug in her hands, brows creased together but never quite meeting. Lost in thought. He probably didn't even mean to stare at the mug, just zoning out.

"Would you like some?" Hemalyn asked him quietly, seeing that everyone else began engaged in conversation, Honey specifically as he was asking if they could still eat cake (Even if they had done many times before). Tamaki didn't answer until Hemalyn hesitantly reached her hand up and poked his cheek, snapping him out of his trance.

"Oh sorry, did you say something?" He grabbed hold of her hand gently, his hold loose so if she wanted to pull away, she could without any struggle.

"Want t-to try Haruhi's hot chocolate?" She asked him, feeling the warmth from his hand against hers that was warmed up from the hot mug.

Tamaki shrugged with a small nod, letting her hand it to him to take a sip, the two not noticing Mori hush everyone from speaking, gesturing to the two are the end of the table. He took a sip, licking his lips from any excess and the twins jaws dropped, patiently waiting to see what Hemalyn would do once the mug was back in her possession. Tamaki nodded, finding the taste not so different from the homemade he was used to (and the kind with milk) whatever type of powder Haruhi bought, it sure was strong. Their eyes followed Hemalyn's hands as she brought it up to her lip, tipping it up and soon enough, everyone (With the exception of Kyoya, since he was already dead inside) died.

'They just shared an indirect kiss...'

'AND DIDNT EVEN BAT A FLIPPING EYE THE HELL!?'

The unknowing patrons shared a smile with one another, unknown of the stares of their new ship fanclub beginning.

---

"Thank you for inviting me, I had fun." Hemalyn thanked Haruhi who only nodded, "Of course! You are welcome over any time! Just don't tell the twins that I told you that..." Hemalyn nodded, giggling softly to herself. She walked down the stairs, seeing Tamaki waiting for her as he was the one who wanted to bring her home instead of Kyoya, which Kyoya certainly did not mind.

"Don't you rich people always have a limo on call?" She questioned, Honey responding.

"Hema-Chan seems to not like asking others to take her to places. So she probably doesn't!"

"I can totally see that." Hikaru muttered, taking his phone away from his ear and shoving it into his pocket. "Limo will be here soon." He told his brother.

"How can they be so calm when they- Well, flipping shared an indirect kiss-" Hikaru chambered to wack his hand over Kaoru's mouth, stopping him from continuing.

"Shhh! Kaoru, keep your voice down!"

"You certainly aren't."

"Shut up Kyoya!" Kyoya chuckled smugly, his eyes trained on his best friend who let Hemalyn get into the limo first. It was darker out and nobody except them was outside, do their drivers could easily pull up and pick them up without having to park a block away. They seemed to be... More comfortable with one another. Which was a good sign, showed their relationship has improved since their first date.

Which brought another question to Kyoya, did they decide to go on another date? He hadn't heard from the annoying girl named Vanessa Hiro about it, so most likely not. The two were hopeless in this department.

The limo drove off, leaving the group to watch it roll down the street.

"Are we in agreement?"

"Yes." They all chirped, only receiving a stiff nod from Mori.

"By the end of this week, we will get Hemalyn to realize her feelings for Tamaki.".

"What all are you doing to your bedroom?"

Hemalyn glanced up from her phone, sending the text to Mythica to tell her she was on her way home.

"Mostly moving things around, getting new furniture and changing the current color scheme..."

"What is the color scheme?" Tamaki questioned, barely noticing the blush the suddenly inflamed her cheeks, seeing her rub her right eye unconsciously, she seemed to be tired from the long day they experienced, with school, and then she was moving things around and to hanging out with friends- She was most likely gonna pass out once she got home from sheer exhaustion, not like she didn't get much sleep anyway.

"It used to be creme and pink when I first had it decorated, and just carried on until now... Uhh..." She found herself embarrassed to tell him her new color scheme, since it was manufactured because of him. Her eyes briefly connected with his in a side glance, seeing the purple orbs stare directly back at her. Her cheeks reddened, creeping down her neck.

"I-It's a c-combination o-of purples...." Tamaki wondered what got her nervous all of the sudden, seeing her cheeks flaming red and stuttering was and always will be cute to him, even a little endearing, but still brought him to the question of why she was nervous.

"Do you like purple a lot?" 'Now I do...' She couldn't help but think mentally, looking up at him again and seeing his extravagant eye color compared to her dull one. But- To Tamaki her own was extravagant, they were like pools of honey, a soft amber gaze with flecks of gold inside when the sun would shine on them. His own eyes may have been bright, but would never match the beauty of hers in the slightest.

"Not until recent-t-tly..." She found herself saying, not meaning to stutter more than once on just a single letter.

Hemalyn's nerves lessened when they went over a bridge, noting that Tamaki's driver was taking a different route than Kyoya's- Which she certainly did not mind as she could see the sun setting when they passed over the bridge. She felt her mouth fall agape, staring at the mixture of colors that everyone found beautiful, Tamaki watching her with serenity in his gaze, love and adoration at the red head. He could see her lip tilting up in a soft smile, and he silently wished to see more of her smile from that day forward.
