au milieu de l'hiver ♔ j'ai découvert en moi un invincible été

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

[wheeeeee, snow! Tamaki is bundled up in his fashionable winter gear and in the middle of constructing a snowman. It actually looks quite good, and he's putting a scarf on it, a rather expensive one that would cost most people a month's rent. Of course he's not really even aware of the value of the thing. He's just having fun, because SNOW!]

Another great commoner's custom, and it doesn't even cost anything!

[he takes a step back, evaluating his work]

There's a backroom here.

[Kyouya is too dignified to pull Tamaki to the backroom with their clothes, but he does walk him to it : |]

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

[and Tamaki walks along, and then impulsively links an arm through Kyouya's and continues walking]

This is how friends walk together in England! They walk through botanical gardens this way and look at ivy!

[hostclubmommy.livejournal.com]

[he's not even going to bother trying to get rid of Tamaki] And who told you that?

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

[maybe Sebastian was onto something, Kyouya hasn't shoved him away]

Sebastian. He attends Oxford with his bear Aloysius.

[hostclubmommy.livejournal.com]

[a pause]

I didn't know you had family in England.

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

[pauses as well, confused]

I don't...do I?

[hostclubmommy.livejournal.com]

Isn't Sebastian related to you?

[his thoughts did not go to this place first]

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

...I don't think so. [Tamaki pauses. Kyouya does do a lot of research on everyone, and it might be possible that Kyouya is aware of a relative of Tamaki's that Tamaki himself might not be aware of] Is he related?

[hostclubmommy.livejournal.com]

You don't.

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

Oh.

[still confused]

But you said I did.

[hostclubmommy.livejournal.com]

Tamaki. You don't. Where did you meet this person?

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

Are you sure?

[and then he lets it go]

Ah, I met him here of course!

[hostclubmommy.livejournal.com]

I see. Please detach yourself from me.

[opening the closet to pull out Tamaki's extra clothes]

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

[Tamaki detaches and then looks in the closet at all his clothes now on the Plane. He gives Kyouya a look.]

How did you get all these clothes here without me knowing?

[hostclubmommy.livejournal.com]

[the Shadow King smiles] Shima-san is always generous when I ask her to help me take care of you.

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

[Tamaki picks out an outfit, and then returns his gaze to Kyouya, still giving him a Look]

I'm capable of taking care of myself. What other generosity has Shima shown you?

[hostclubmommy.livejournal.com]

Shima-san has been generous to me in most every matter. Your servants are all very kind and always charitable.

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

That is very true. I guess I can't fault them or you for trying to help.

[and Tamaki begins getting changed]

But next time you can ask me first.

[hostclubmommy.livejournal.com]

Of course, Tamaki.

[like he ever asks before taking Tamaki's clothes]

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

I guess that's okay.

[if Tamaki were smarter, he would start keeping an inventory of his clothes. Either way, he's changed now, his old clothes discarded on a pile on the floor]

Now can we go look for a movie to watch?

[hostclubmommy.livejournal.com]

Is that necessary?

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

[nods] Mhm! [and he grabs Kyouya's arm and begins dragging him back towards the projection room]

[hostclubmommy.livejournal.com]

[he allows Tamaki to pull him along]

What film.

[he's too deadpan to make an interrogative]

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

I don't know, we'll have to look around and see what we might find!

[hostclubmommy.livejournal.com]

Don't you have a snowman to build?
