Tomoki's POV (10 Minutes Later)

I wiped the tears away, sniffing quietly as Tamaki loosened his arms from around me

"You okay now?" He asked me gently, moving hair out of my eyes in a brotherly way. I nodded, my eyes falling on the keys of the Grand Piano, the keys showing that they been a little wore down from Tamaki always constantly playing it whenever he could. Tamaki noticed where I was looking, a certain idea coming to his ridiculous mind

"You know what? How about I teach you how to play the piano?" He asked me before his right hand fell on 4 sets of keys, playing random notes letting them ring out throughout the room, the notes bouncing off the walls

"Are you sure? Because Grandmother has been thinking about teaching me to learn how to play a different Classical Instrument, like the Harp or Cello-"

"The Grand Piano is a Classical Instrument, and if Grandmother doesn't like the idea of you playing it. I can give you lessons in secret. How about that?"

"Are you sure Tamaki. Because you know how Grandmother can get if she finds out about this-"

"And yet you are keeping a secret from her already dealing with a certain shady twin." He countered causing me to groan. I grimaced at the idea of doing this, I was already keeping a big secret from her, who's idiotic is it to teach me to play the piano? Oh, why my dimwitted older brother of course! I thought over the idea in my head, rubbing my temples and biting down my lower lip. With a sigh, I came to the conclusion of what to do

"Okay fine. But for now, just teach me the basics but don't let me hit a single note or chord on the piano unless Grandmother and Father isn't here. Just whatever you can teach me without actually having to have me play."

"That sounds good for now. Now let's see here, what can we teach you first..."

(Time Skip)

"This is a D Flat, when you play it you want your fingers to always be positioned in a correct manner, like so." He pressed down on the keys, his hand positioned with fingers arched. I nodded at him, paying attention to his teachings. My watch dinged, signaling that it was almost time to have dinner

"I guess that's good for now, we can continue this tomorrow if you want to."

"Sounds good. I will head out first, meet you at dinner." I got up from my seat, smoothing out my shirt before walking to the other side of the Grand Piano

"And thanks again, Tamaki." I thanked him before leaving the music room. I head to my room to quickly change into my dining attire. I got my out of my closet, smoothing it out before stripping out of the clothes I had on and into the dining attire. I quickly put my hair up into a half up half down style with a messy bun, clipping the butterfly clip into my hair where the bun was at. I slipped on my boots, securing them onto my feet before heading downstairs and into the dining room to see Father, Grandmother, and Tamaki already there, seeming to be waiting for somebody, and it wasn't me. Father gestured me to sit next to him which I obliged. I sat down in the chair next to him, one of the butlers scooting me in accordingly before bowing and walking out of the room

"Tomoki dear, as a special surprise for you me and your Grandmother have decided to invite Mr. and Mrs. Tonnerre over for dinner tonight. They are currently on their way over from the airport." My eyes went slightly wide at my father's statement, Tamaki's eyes even growing wider by the second. Restraining myself from acting like a child, I asked

"Shall I ask why you didn't console with me first about inviting them over?" I asked Father and Grandmother who nodded, Grandmother answering my question

"You see dear, the reason why is because we wanted to surprise you is all. Plus it's not mandatory, Mr. Tonnerre and Mrs. Tonnerre must meet you before anything else, understood?" I nodded even though I didn't agree with the idea of Mr. Tonnerre and Mrs. Tonnerre having a 'pleasant' dinner with us. One of the maids walked into the room, a man and woman behind her

"Mr. Tonnerre and Mrs. Tonnerre has arrived Mr. Suoh." Father nodded, gesturing for the maid to leave before standing up and walking over to them to greet them. Mr. Tonnerre had light chestnut colored hair that was slicked back by gel with dark onyx colored eyes almost the shade of charcoal. He has a slender frame, almost the same height as my father but seemed to have a little more muscle than Father has. Deep Pale skin with a broad nose, his eyes showing how much of a serious man he was, eyebags noticeable from the lack of sleep he has been recently getting. Wearing a black tailored suit with a grey handkerchief in his shirt pocket. Mrs. Tonnerre, unlike her husband, seemed submissive, kind, and caring, didn't seem to like a lot of conflict by the way her eyes always never met no one in the room, not even her own husband's. She had dark brown hair with vibrant sea blue eyes and seemed to be a little taller than me, and considering I was 5'4 it was quite shocking since not many are about the same height as me, even Haruhi was taller than me! Anyways, she had the same deeply paled skin and seemed to be the same body type as Eclair and if it wasn't for her hair, you could mistaken Eclair and her mother for twins. Wearing an astounding gown with gemstones acting as a belt the color of olive green, showed that was her favorite color. My attention went back to my father who was gesturing over to me

"-And this is my daughter, Tomoki Rune Suoh." I rose my seat, my chair sliding against the marble flooring a little bit. I curtsied to them, fake smiling at them

"It is an honor to finally meet you two." I told them earning a nod of approval from Grandmother. A flicker in Mr. Tonnerre's eyes of approval also gave me the impression that he agreed with who his son was engaged with. Tamaki worriedly glanced over at me, his eyes showing that he was worried of how this dinner will go with the two people who will soon became apart of the family.
