La Douleur Exquise (1x1 L.G. / Ember )

“WHAT?! No, Haruhi you do not have to do it!” Tamaki freaked.

“Senpai, it’s just a game. It’s not like the Kiss means anything.” Haruhi said, getting up and kissing Hikaru on the lips.

“Wow Haru-chan! I thought you’d freak out. But Boss seems totally freaked out.” Honey laughed.

I hold a hand out, grabbing Tamaki's, and yanking him over the couch edge and into my lap. "Goof." I smirk, looking over at Hikaru.

"Aw~ Thanks Haruhi." He sang. "Your turn, Haruhi."

I glance over at Hikaru as he moved off of the table. I narrow my eyes at him. What's he up to? I look down at Tamaki before looking over at Haruhi.

[Ember1989]

Tamaki stopped talking and watched Haruhi.

Haruhi smiled. Sure this wasn’t a win or lose scenario. But she would definitely do any dare. She looked at Kyoya. “Truth or Dare, Kyoya?” She said.

“Oh pick Dare!” Honey yelled.

[LadyGalleth]

KYOYA

"Me...?" I look around at all of our hopeful guests. "I'm afraid I'm not-" I jump a little when Hikaru and Kaoru leans on me, shaking my shoulders.

"COME OM, KYOYA-SENPAI, PLEASSSSEEE!!"

I roll my shoulders, shaking them off. I look down at Tamaki and sigh. The eyes. The puppy dog eyes. They melt my heart, and clear my throat, hoping to keep the blush down. I can always chalk it up as embarrassment. Why does he have to be so cute...? "Very well." I look from Tama to Haruhi. "Truth. What would you have of me?"

[Ember1989]

“Do you have a crush on anyone?” Haruhi asked.

“Oh! That’s a good question!” Honey said.

Takami looked from Kyoya to Haruhi. Was she trying to embarrass Mommy?!

[LadyGalleth]

KYOYA

The question. The dreaded question. I glance wide eyes at Haruhi, trying my hardest not to look over at Tamaki. "I-I, um... doesn't everyone?" My voice is quivering as I adjust my glasses again from the glare, trying to swallow my blush.

"Ooh~" Hikaru sings. "He does, he does!"

"Who is it?!"

I shove both of their faces away from mine, loosening my tie. "Shut up!" I growl. "No one you should be concerned with anyhow." I return my gaze to Haruhi. "And to answer your question, Haruhi, no. I can confidently sat that I don't."

Because I love him... But he won't ever feel the same towards me. The way he throws himself at Haruhi. My chest tightens just thinking about it. I turn my head to Hikaru and Kaoru, glaring at them.

[Ember1989]

Tamaki tried not to look hurt. He sipped on his coffee to calm his nerves. It didn’t help.

“Aw I wanna know who!” Honey, pouted.

“I can say without a doubt I’m not in love with anyone.” Haruhi stated, as she looked at the twins. “Leave Kyoya-Senpai alone guys...” She said.

[LadyGalleth]

KYOYA

"As you say, Haruhi~" The two here and sit back down with Haruhi.

I take a deep breath, watching Tamaki drink from his cup. I clear my throat and take a sip from my own tea, trying not to cut my eyes over to Tamaki. "Hikaru. Truth or dare?"

He looks stunned. "Um... d-dare!" Even though he tries to act confident in his answer, there's a hint of doubt.

I sneer behind my cup. "Sit with me."

He looks confused. "Um... that's not much of a dare, Sen-"

"Is it?" My question sends a shiver down his spine, and he reluctantly moves towards me.

"Tamaki-Senpai. Truth or dare?" He moans, one arm tossed behind the couch as he leans back.

[Ember1989]

“Dare.” Tamaki replied.

“Yay another dare! This should be good.” Honey said, watching anxiously.

At this rate this game is going to have me in deep debt. Is Kyoya mad at me? Haruhi thought.

[LadyGalleth]

KYOYA

Hikaru sneers beside me and looks to his brother, causing me to roll my eyes. "Be right back!!" They call before darting into the tea room.

"Those two..." I whisper under my breath, placing the cup down. "Are you sure this was a smart idea, Tamaki?" I quirk an eyebrow when the two come out holding a simple cup of tea.

"We dare you to drink this!" They jut it out into the king's hands. Knowing these two, they added salt instead of sugar....
