A/N: Hi guys! My first multi-chapter story so far! I thought I had followers and favourites enough to finally start doing something with a real purpose; getting more of them hehe... Anyway, someday I'm going to look back at this story and regret it, but for now I'm proud I've finally brought myself to writing something else than porn. Or a story that's not all about porn. Mostly.

Enjoy!

Narcissism, Mori had called it, one of the first times he actually spoke up to Honey.

The older boy had looked at him through long lashes, the fake confusion etched clearly onto his face.

" How do you mean, Takashi", he said, the venomous tone in his voice only audible to Mori.

" You only love me because I'm beneficial to you. And you know it and that's why you need me. That's the only reason you still want me."

Honey huffed and pulled Usa-chan closer to his chest. " Not true!"

" It is. You know I admire you and you flourish in the attention. You're using me."

The blonde glared deadly at him, but spoke no more. There hung a silence between them as they hosted the ladies but none of them noticed that they didn't speak directly to one another, let alone touch. By the end of the hour the ladies had left, and Honey was sick of keeping silent.

" Kyouya, do you think I'm manipulative?" the boy-Lolita asked, and Kyouya looked up from his papers and pushed his glasses further up his nose. Deciding that he could best keep out of it, he shrugged. " Don't drag me into this. If you're having trouble with Mori-senpai you'll have to deal with the problem yourself, he's your cousin."

The small boy stomped his foot and whirled around to look at the silent type. " I'm sick of being doubted."

" I don't doubt you, Mitsukuni, it's the truth. I'm tired of getting pushed around by someone who doesn't appreciate my love", Mori answered, cool as ever.

" I do love you!"

" As an object, because I make you look desirable. You don't love me as a person."

The twins' gaze swept over the room, looking back and forth between the two relatives and anticipating what Honey would say next. Suddenly his eyes grew cold and he faced the wall away from Mori.

" Then leave."

Honey's voice was cruel, with the intention of hurting Mori, but he stayed strangely calm. The other boy's jaw twitched and he nodded briefly. " If that's what you want."

Even if Honey was taken aback by his sudden agreement, he didn't show. He just kept staring at the wall.

" Alright. Then go. I don't need you, Takashi."

Mori silently began taking his leave, but Tamaki tried to stop him and, in all his excitement, almost knocked him over.

" What? But Mori, you can't be serious? You can't possibly leave him by himself, he'll be dead in two weeks!"

" Don't overreact, senpai", Haruhi interrupted, " he'll be fine. But he's got a point, boys, you've never been apart before."

" We were", Honey defended himself, not planning on succumbing, " in Kyouya's tropical institution."

" For a few hours, yes, but Mori immediately went looking for you. You can't just expect him to leave, you're part of each other's lives."

" We're still individuals, Haruhi. Besides, it will not be for long.", he said with a little delighted smirk, "He'll be on his knees soon, begging for me to take him back."

When everybody went silent, Mori gave him a last sympathetic look and left.
