Summary: Kyouya's content with loving (quietly) and just being Tamaki's best friend. But what if another one of Tamaki's best friend decides to disrupt their relationship, and Tamaki is completely oblivious. Everyone knows Kyouya won't sit back and watch, he'll fight. But for what reason and to what extent will he fight for? For his best friend back… or for a totally different reason?
Disclaimer: Another expression of love for this pair. Ouran belongs to Hatori Bisco. Awesome.

"Ugh." Kyouya trod into his room and threw his bag into the corner. He was annoyed, but annoyed was good enough to get him heated up. The after club activities that day wasn't as fun as usual because 'The King' wasn't around to charm and make a mess out of everything.
In fact, today was too organized and too… Dull.
The ball of light and fluff wasn't around to prance around and cheer everyone up, especially Kyouya and it wasn't because he was sick or had any good reason to be absent. It was because Leo a.k.a the other best friend came by and took him away just like that. What's the point of having a host club without the number one host?
Kyouya honestly didn't approve of Leo. He was irritated by the likes of him, everything, the smile, the look, the stance…
What Kyouya was most irritated about was that he knew why he was annoyed with the whole situation. It was ridiculous! He gathered himself as he dropped onto his king sized bed. It was 7 pm and Kyouya didn't hear from Tamaki since 2pm… It was unusual for him because if it wasn't every hour Tamaki would message him about something, it would be every half an hour.
Taking his cell, Kyouya checked his messages again… Nothing. The last message from Tamaki was yesterday night at 11.58 pm:
Yeah, and your ideas are always the best so lets do it next wk!! Ack, u always tell me to sleep before tmr, n its few mins b4 tmr! So I got a few mins to say g'nite Kyo, cant wait to see you tmr! sweet dreams! -huggles-
Tama.
Kyouya would never admit it, but he liked the fact that Tamaki always messaged him everyday be it online or on the phone. Whenever something happened on TV or during dinner, or even if he saw a spider and ran like a girl when he saw it, he'd always tell Kyouya, because he was his best friend.
"He's such a dork." Kyouya shook his head the night before when he received the message. But right now… he felt like the dork because he wanted Tamaki to text him, to tell him he's not having fun with Leo.
Shit, he felt like a jealous girl now, and he freaking hated it. Thank god no one saw him at his worst or unusual moments. He hated the fact Tamaki didn't tell him about Leo… what he hated the most was that Leo knew him longer than Kyouya did, and the bugger knew that.
Leo acted nice, was as cheerful as Tamaki, but he had a bad side to him… one thing Kyouya knew was that Leo wasn't as nice or sincere as Tamaki. When Leo looked at Kyouya with a hint of distaste, it was then did Kyouya realize that Leo didn't like him. Well it was obvious wasn't it? Well, Kyouya had to admit he masked his distaste for Leo better than the blonde could.
It was 7.10 pm… Tamaki still hadn't texted him…This was the longest time Tamaki ever texted him in a day…
"Stupid Tamaki." Kyouya said in the dark and empty room. "Whatever." He flopped to lie down on his bed, just as he did that, his phone beeped to the sound of "Fantaisie Impromptu", Tamaki's fave piano piece. He shot up and grabbed his phone.
It was from Tamaki!
Kyo Hi! How was 2days activities? Hope it was fun, did the twins do n e ting to Haruhi 2day? Details! And how r u?? Sry X text just nw, was busy catching up with Leo, if u got time, I call ltr?
Tama
Kyouya couldn't help but smile. It was hard to hate, but easy to love Tamaki, he didn't know how this boy managed to drill his way into Kyouya's heart that a simple text message could make him burst out in joy. Of course, Kyouya didn't do that, he just smiled and slowly texted him back, even if the line about Leo dampened his mood slightly.
Baka. Took you long enough. Thought you died, call later when you're free. I'm free whenever, esp. after dinner. Now is good too.
Kyo
Now he just waited, if Tamaki called him now, that's a good sign, if not… Kyouya will have a pissy night…

"And so we all thought she was a boy! And like she stayed a boy, well not literally, ahhaha, and now she's part of the host. But no one except us knows that, and now you, so since I trust you, you better shush about this, because it's a biggg secret!" Tamaki finally breathed after telling Leo about what happened for the last year.
Leo laughed and patted his blonde friend's head, "Breathe Tamaki, breathe!" he shook his head, still having a smile on his face, "So from what I heard from you, you're enjoying everything."
"Of course! Its all cool, all these commoner adventures! The host club and all! And my good friends especially Kyouya" Tamaki said happily. Leo frowned and moved closer to Tamaki.
"Did you miss me though?" Leo asked, searching Tamaki's face.
Tamaki looked at him, and gave him a soft smile, "Of course I did, not a day went by I didn't think of you, you're my best friend Leo, how can I forget you? I miss you a lot."
Leo smiled, happy with the answer, "But why didn't you come to see me?"
"I had to make myself comfortable, and dad told me to stay put. For grandmother's sake…" Tamaki said remembering what his father told him the first moment he arrived in Japan. "Besides, it's not like you missed anything, whatever I told you a minute ago I told you over emails and stuff."
"Which brings me to another question, why didn't you call me, if you had time to email me and create a host club?" Leo asked, a tint of sadness in his voice. It was true, since Tamaki left 3 years ago, he stopped calling after a while, resulting to emails only.
"Ah… I thought you didn't like phone calls." Tamaki said.
"Huh? Who said so?!" Leo sat up, staring at Tamaki like he thought of a stupid thing, which he always does.
"If I remembered, you said you hated conversing on the phone." Tamaki said thinking back, "After that I was scared to bother you, so I mailed you, and you seemed enthusiastic enough emailing me, than you were talking to me on the phone. So I thought you didn't want to call me. Is that the case?" Tamaki asked.
Leo blinked, staring at Tamaki like the naïve little kid he was. Oh god, Tamaki really was so cute, innocent and stupid! Leo started laughing, puzzling Tamaki even more.
"What?! What Leo, what?!" Tamaki asked as Leo continued laughing, toppling back on his big bed.
"Tamaki, you little idiot. I miss your idiocy even more than before!" he shook his head.
Tamaki pouted, "You're having an inside joke without telling me…" he turned away like the puppy he was. "Fine, don't tell me."
Leo laughed and grabbed Tamaki by his shoulders and pulled him backwards all the way down to his lap. "Listen, that time, when you called everyday, and that day I said I hated conversing on the phone was because I hated talking to you over the phone. I wanted to talk to you face to face like we used to do when we were kids up to the point you left. It was the same, taking to a phone." He smiled looking down at Tamaki.
"Ohhhhhhh." Tamaki waited to process it in, "OHHHHHHHHHHHHH, I see now." He sat up abruptly, turning to look at Leo, "But you didn't say you wanted to speak to me when you were writing your emails!!! And you didn't call me either!!!" he pouted again, "Why is it my fault!"
Leo grinned, "Because I don't like making first moves. I was shy then." He said, "But since I learned my lessons… nowadays I go for what I want."
Tamaki smiled, "Yeah!" he brought a fist up, "That's what I always say! Go for what you want full speed!" Leo laughed, how he missed Tamaki…
"Hahah, I adore your acts so much." He looked at the time, "Ah it's already 7.15, we've talked for hours, do you want to go ea-."
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Tamaki jolted up and checked his pockets, when he didn't find what he wanted there, he ran to his bag and ransacked his bag, where he found his cellphone. "Ahah!"
"Er, Tamaki?" Leo who was on the bed stared at his over energetic friend.
Tamaki was quickly typing a text message and only replied Leo after he sent it, "I forgot to send someone a message! And it's been a few hours!"
"Hmm, who are you in a rush to text to Tamaki? A girl you didn't tell me about?" Leo asked playfully. The only girl he knew in Tamaki's life is Haruhi, and she wasn't a threat to any girl or guy who wanted Tamaki's attention. Leo slid off his bed and went to his hi-fi to put a new CD into the slot.
"Oh! No no!" he said as he kept his eyes on the phone, typing quickly when his phone beeped for the first time, "It's Kyouya."
Leo's hand stopped as he was about to press play.
"Kyou… ya… that black haired boy right?" he asked, like he didn't know who it was.
"Yeaps!" Tamaki said cheerfully, "And he's free now, I have to call him." He got up from the bed and was about to dial his number when Leo stepped in front of Tamaki.
"What for? Is it an emergency?" Not that he was concerned or anything.
"Nawh, I always text Kyouya about stuff and he does the same, today I missed club activities, so I need to ask him about the club and about his day." He grinned.
"Need to always update him?" Leo asked, burning up a little inside. Why did Tamaki care so much about that stoic Japanese boy?
Tamaki shook his head, "He thinks I'm dead cause I never text him for a long time today, I don't want to worry him. Hold on, I'll just give him a quick call, then we go for dinner!" with that Tamaki skipped out to the balcony and gave Kyouya a call.
Leo narrowed his eyes to where Tamaki was walking out, waiting happily for his other friend to pick up.
One thing about Jean Pierre Leo was that …
He is a jealous kid…

"Hello, Kyouya?"
"Yes, Tamaki." Kyouya's deep voice flowed through the receiver.
"HIIIII. How was your day!" Tamaki asked happily, "Was it fun? How were the activities? How was our daughter? Kept safe? Did anyone miss me? Did you have to host today and be my sit in?" he asked without giving Kyouya a chance to answer.
On the other line, Kyouya smiled, if smiles could be heard, Kyouya's would win. He took a pen and went over to his desk, opened his little black book and started writing in it as he spoke to Tamaki.
"Everything went fine Tamaki… fun? Hardly. Activities went as planned, daughter all safe, minus the times the twins tried to bully her, everyone missed you, and no, yes I had to host in for you today. As you know we're short of one host today." Kyouya said.
"Heheheh, sorry about that, I just couldn't pass off going back with Leo, I haven't seen him for 3 years!"
"Thought so." He rolled his eyes, "Done enough of catching up?"
"Hardly! But we can do it some more, he's staying for a long time." Tamaki told him as he leaned on the balcony railing.
Kyouya stopped smiling, "Er… for how long?"
"Maybe a few months, half a year maybe?" Tamaki said.
SNAP.
The pen Kyouya was holding to write broke in half.
"Huh? Kyouya what was that I heard something snap."
"Nothing Tamaki, nothing. So he'll be staying for about half a year?" Kyouya asked again slowly, taking this in. How long was a cultural visit supposed to be?!
"About so, heheh I'd love for you both to know each other! My two mon ami's getting along, that'd be fun!" he said chuckling.
"Ah… yes… fun indeed…" Kyouya said, dreading the idea already.
"Leo's a really good host too. OH I KNOW!" Tamaki suddenly cried out.
Oh no. Oh no. Oh no.
Kyouya knew what Tamaki was going to suggest and he didn't like it at all.
"Leo has his own host club back in France, since he's here…"
Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh Shit.
Tamaki shut down, please, make your brain shut down.
"Why doesn't he become a HOST CLUB MEMBER!!!!!" Tamaki jumped up enthusiastically at his ingenious idea.
SMACK.
Kyouya smacked his head on his table.
SMACK.
Leo appeared behind Tamaki and smacked him hard on the back.
"OH MY! What GREAT idea Tamaki!"
SMACK.
Kyouya smacked his head against the table again.
Leo grinned as he took the phone from Tamaki, "Hello Ootori-kun."
Wtf… since when were they on '-kun' basis?
"LET'S have dinner tomorrow night! All three of us to break the ice!!!" Tamaki said jumping up and down behind Leo, hoping to get his message across to Kyouya as well.
"Tamaki has the brightest ideas in the world, doncha' think?" he asked Kyouya, smiling mischievously.
Kyouya sat up and narrowed his eyes, "Too bright, it blinded me."
"Indeed. Don't you just love him?"
"Yes, don't you?" Kyouya spat back coolly. It was like the both of them understood their own positions in this whole charade, which is actually quite entertaining to Kyouya. Oh, so if Leo was enjoying this, Kyouya could enjoy it even more.
We'll see.
Even if they were a few miles away, the tension could be felt over the receiver. A silent cackle of electricity might've passed through the receiver, but it was shunned out by Tamaki's joyful jump behind Leo.
"Yay! Yay! Mon ami's Mon ami's! This is going to be SO FUN!"

A/n: Yesss, another problem for Kyouya it seems. Giggles, I love silent rivalries, Don't you? Also I fangirled like crazy over the whole BFF Tama calls Kyo thing, and I HAD to write it, and I did. Fangirls sommore.
I think Tamaki is the bestest cutest naïve deity in the world. I love him… Don't you? Snickers. So hows the situation going to be the next day when Leo comes all dressed up in blue? We'll see. The twins will have a ball with this.
