Afternoon light spills through the tall windows of Ouran Academy, painting the empty music room in gold and shadow. In a secluded corner, Tamaki Suoh hunches over a steaming styrofoam cup, the scent of cheap instant ramen clinging to the air.

He takes a loud, dramatic slurp, then sighs, his sharp blue eyes narrowing in contemplation. Why does the very thought of them tie his stomach into such complicated knots?
