I hid in the shadows the moonlight ♛ of a chilly night illuminated

[hostclubmommy.livejournal.com]

[Kyouya appears with his laptop on the Plane, so he has good reason to be surprised when there is SNOW around him]

...what?

[Wrapping his laptop up in his blazer, he looks around. First instinct? Someone brought a snow machine. To the Plane at large, and so whoever may be responsible, even if it is Lapis and Lazuli]

I don't think that this is an advisable idea.

[A sigh. He pulls off his glasses to clear up the fog]

[brushing his hand away] This place doesn't count.

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

[and the hand is back to tugging] ...but Kyouuuu-ya. What better way to keep warm and snug then to bring a kotatsu here. We still have the ones in the school storage room from the kotatsu social.

[hostclubmommy.livejournal.com]

[holding the whole hand to stop the pulling] When it's winter at home, I will bring out the kotatsu. Not before then.

[Tamaki looks down at Kyouya's hand, and then his eyes travel back up to Kyouya's face. Tamaki's eyes grow big and wide and watery. Is the effect lessened or intensified with the snow sticking to his hat and hair and scarf and shoulders? Who knows?]

[hostclubmommy.livejournal.com]

[feeling doom, inexorable, approaching him] Tamaki.

I'll set one up at the onsen. Only one. And only for us. I don't want you dragging in strays.

[he is cursing himself mentally]

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

[and his eyes are still wide and watery, but now with joy as his pout is transformed into a huge smile and he envelopes Kyouya in a hug, careful of the laptop]

Thank you, Kyouya!

[and being mindful of the laptop, he hops off Kyouya quickly, and bounces]

Kyouya, you are a god! Mon ami superbe!

[hostclubmommy.livejournal.com]

It only stays out while it snows.

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

[nods enthusiastically...and there might be a small sound that is similar to a happy dog barking]

[hostclubmommy.livejournal.com]

And it's only for us. Agreed?

[a pause]

Haruhi and Kaoru are acceptable as well, I suppose.

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

[nod and more happy barking. And then he shakes himself off, the snow that had been piling up on him falling off as he does this, some of it sticking to his trousers and jacket and boots and some of it landing on the Plane floor and disappearing.]

[he moves to Kyouya, grabbing his arm again]

Let's go set it up right away!

[hostclubmommy.livejournal.com]

[shoving Tamaki away] If you're trouble, I'll take it away.

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

[he's too happy at the promise of a kotatsu to be offended. He just nods and happy barks again]

We'll go get it now?

[hostclubmommy.livejournal.com]

I will. You go to the onsen and wait. Second floor, first room to your left.

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

[happy nod bark combo. He gives Kyouya one last hug, and then he's off to the onsen, where he'll be waiting for Kyouya]

[hostclubmommy.livejournal.com]

[Kyouya appears there with all they need for the onsen, dropping them on the floor (except the bits that can break)]

Without servants, we'll have to set it up ourselves.

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

That's great! It will hold even more significance if we set it up ourselves!

Your staff showed me how to do it once, and then they helped me set it up once, too! I'll show you how to put it together!

[hostclubmommy.livejournal.com]

[Kyouya expected that]

Fine then.

[he helps Tamaki set it up!]

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

[yay teamwork! Tamaki finally takes off his coat and things too and brushes the snow off himself, and finally settles into the kotatsu. He is smiling and glowing and soooooo happy~]

Our first kotatsu we set up all by ourselves! How exciting!

[hostclubmommy.livejournal.com]

[sets the mandarin oranges on the table with the tea]

You're too easily excited.

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

This is an event which deserves the highest level of excitement! You even have the mandarin oranges!

Uh, but does this table have a flip-top for playing games?

[hostclubmommy.livejournal.com]

Don't be unreasonable. [he pulls out a folded up board, one that is hollow on the inside. There is the slide of pieces inside the set.] This can play checkers, chess, and backgammon

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

Which one does Mommy want to play?

[hostclubmommy.livejournal.com]

Why don't we black backgammon? That one involves luck, so you'll have a chance at winning.

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

My chances of winning any game are extremely high! We'll play chess!

[drinking his tea with a smile] When we're done eating.
