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

[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]

Comments

[he's about half done his nabe, but he pushes it to the side.]

Ah Mom, do you think we can play chess now?

[hostclubmommy.livejournal.com]

[without looking up from his tea]

Finish your food.

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

[he looks at his pushed aside nabe, and finally pulls it back in front of him]

Yes, Mom.

[and he somehow manages to pout as he eats]

[hostclubmommy.livejournal.com]

[Kyouya serenely finishes his meal, ignoring the pouting]

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

[Tamaki notes that Kyouya has finished, so he quickly finishes his meal, too. He politely uses his napkin, and then sets bowl and napkin aside, smiling eagerly at Kyouya]

Now we can play chess?

[hostclubmommy.livejournal.com]

I suppose.

[Kyouya sets up the chess board, giving himself the black pieces]

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

[Tamaki would have picked white anyway. Since the narrator doesn't feel like playing the game out, let's pretend they played. We will have a montage of them playing chess with this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lkdi6gM01ro) playing in the background. After much time and playing and things, Kyouya has Tamaki in checkmate. He hangs his head in defeat. He pulls his head up, looking Kyouya squarely in the eye]

...I demand a rematch! You were just lucky, extremely lucky!

[hostclubmommy.livejournal.com]

Do you really want to face defeat again?

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

Don't be so cocky! Pride comes before a fall, you know!

[hostclubmommy.livejournal.com]

So does stupidity. Will you be the white pieces again?

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

Of course, and you'll be black again!

[and he gets to work setting up the board again.]

[hostclubmommy.livejournal.com]

[Kyouya drinks his tea and watches him, thinking about something. He decides to keep it to himself for no]

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

{Tamaki looks up at Kyouya, feeling the gaze on him]

Kyouya?

[hostclubmommy.livejournal.com]

Watching to see if you can set up chess pieces in the right places.

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

[outraged]

Of course I can! See!

[he points to the board that is now completely set up. The outrage seems to go away though, curiosity appearing once again and perhaps concern]

Are you sure there isn't anything else on your mind?

[hostclubmommy.livejournal.com]

If there is ever a day when I only have one thing on my mind, it will be the day I lose to my brothers in that challenging game.

[the cool-talk disappears as he adds] Only Idiot Kings can afford to be single-minded.

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

I'm not always single minded, I can think of many things at once!

[Tamaki takes a sip of his tea]

Do you want to tell Daddy about all the different things on your mind, Mommy?

[hostclubmommy.livejournal.com]

Not really. [setting down his tea] Shall we play for anything?

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

Hmmm...have I used up my chances to ask for a year long kotatsu pass all ready this week?

[hostclubmommy.livejournal.com]

You have.

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

But that was only at home, if I'm not mistaken! I can still play for that opportunity here.

[hostclubmommy.livejournal.com]

No.

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

[flinches and whines in the same breath, how does he do it?] Kyouuuu-yaaaa.

[a sigh, and then he straightens up]

Fine. What else do I want? Oh, I know! I want to host an event here! Can we play for that?

[hostclubmommy.livejournal.com]

I'd rather gamble on the kotatsu.

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

Hmmm...then you'll come with me this weekend on a tour of commoner's restaurants! It will be an adventure in the heart of Tokyo!
