Puppy Love ||OHSHC||

Chapitre Dix-Huit

We all wore heavy Kimono's for today's theme. I was a little warm, it being early summer. I was sitting with a few guests making small talk and flirting.

I couldn't help how my gaze drifted to the hydrangeas. I hated how Tamaki was doing this forbidden rendezvous. I couldn't stand how jealous it made me feel.

"What's wrong Mathieu?" One of my guests asked. 

"Oh nothing, how have you ladies, been this fine afternoon?" I asked, flashing a smile. They swooned. 

"He's jealous," Haruhi cooed as she walked by. 

I gasped and flushed. "Haruhi don't say things like that! I am not!" I exclaimed. She rolled her eyes while my guests giggled. Tadeo put his head on my lap and I let out a sigh.

Tadeo suddenly sprang up as I slowly felt myself fall forward, my muscles giving up on me. The girls murmured worriedly as Tadeo forced himself under my chest to keep me upright. Haruhi had grabbed the back of my Kimono to keep me from face planting. 

"Sorry ladies, I guess I'm a bit more tired than usual," I stammered, struggling to sit up slightly. They awed in sympathy.

"Starlight kick!" I heard Tamaki screech, making me look over. 

"Take care of yourself!" The twins called, waving little white handkerchiefs as the can that was kicked hurtled out of view. I gasped when the sound of breaking glass erupted from one of the windows.

"I hate it when he ignores us when we're right in front of him. He's such a child," Kyoya said with disdain as he, the twins, and Haruhi stood by, watching Tamaki as he sulked in the corner, poking a ball. He hadn't even changed out of his outfit yet.

I walked up and stood next to them, trying to see why Tamaki was being, well, Tamaki.

"A club is like a family, and their family is about to be broken up. I feel sorry for them," Tamaki pouted, continuing to poke the ball.

Haruhi's shoulders slumped slightly before she turned to Kyoya. "I hate to give in, but would it really be that bad to help them out with their newspaper?" She asked.

"What happened with the newspaper club?" I questioned.

"Tamaki kicked the ball so hard that it flew towards the school and crashed through the newspaper club's window. Now he wants to help them out by letting them do an article about the club," Hikaru explained. I shuddered. I never liked the President of the newspaper club.

"And since when are you taking his side?" Kaoru asked Haruhi in shock.

"Since never. Just listen okay?" She scoffed. "I know any moment now he's going to look over here with those puppy-dog eyes he uses when he wants something and none of us will be able to say no and so he'll win," Haruhi grumbled.

The twins shuddered.

Tamaki looked over with his innocent puppy-dog eyes before looking back at his ball sadly and rolling it with his finger. Haruhi tensed. "Those are the eyes," She stated, before walking elsewhere.

Tamaki repeated the action and the twins grimaced. "Puppy-dog eyes," They whimpered, leaving me and Kyoya.

"Don't do it Kyoya," I chimed.

Kyoya merely sighed in annoyance as Tamaki continued to act like a child. He adjusted his glasses before he spoke.

"There will be some conditions," Kyoya started begrudgingly, making Tamaki look over with a happy bark. I let out a sigh and rubbed my temples.

Kyoya started to read off the conditions and everyone eventually agreed. "What about you Mathieu, what do you say?" Tamaki asked me excitedly.

"No. Not a chance," I said flatly, making an 'X' with my arms.
