31_days prompt: October 13 – “fool for love”. Tamaki is a fool, but he is a fool who loves, who believes, with all of his too-large heart. “Sometimes he plays songs of love unrequited, love unanswered, of a man dancing alone with his hands held outwards, frozen in the air.”
There are many, many songs about love, and Tamaki knows them all. He sings them under his breath, lilting and somewhat off-tune, songs of his heart and soul; he plays them on ivory keys, fingers dancing their own waltz on the white-and-black floor.
Sometimes he sings of tragedies, of star-crossed lovers spread across the sky like constellations, reaching out for each other but only managing once a year, when the doves trill and make a white-grey bridge across the sky. Sometimes he plays songs of love unrequited, love unanswered, of a man dancing alone with his hands held outwards, frozen in the air. Sometimes his voice carries the stories speaking of the emptiness that a lover leaves behind when they go, like a gaping void in one’s heart and breaths choked in the throat.
But most of all he sings of happy endings, of fairy tales and of glorious stories of the princes rescuing princesses. He believes in the happy ending, and though he knows there are sad stories, he much, much prefers the happier ones. Tamaki is an optimist, a romantic; he likes seeing the strengths and the good of the people and blinds himself to the rest. He is a dreamer; Tamaki soars up on the sky and marvels at the world below, inhaling the air that is beauty embodied, sweet and cool. Perhaps that’s what makes him so beautiful, he thinks, and giggles at his own vanity.
It is happy endings that he lives for and believes in, wholly and truly with all of his romantic’s heart. He likes to laugh more than he likes to cry; he loves to smile and make others smile. So it is so much easier to simply see the beauty and joy of life, to bring bright light into the darkness so he won’t ever break down and cry. He had given Mother his word, and a man – though he is just a boy, only a boy, barely broken out of his shell – does not break his word.
Thus Tamaki gives love freely and easily, like a sun with sunlight. He cares for and adores and loves almost everything, plying everyone he comes across with affection and hope pure and bright as winter’s first snow. He stumbles over his own feet sometimes, caught by his own kindness, but there will always be others around him, holding him and supporting him, buoying him up. Even if he trips, there are many, many hands extended towards him that he can choose from. He always tries to take them all.
Those who love will always be loved in return, Tamaki knows. As long as he keeps on believing, as long as he keeps loving, one day the world will realize and turn to him, giving him a smile, open and beautiful like the sun breaking behind clouds after a heavy storm. Then he will be accepted back into the world of warm arms, joyful smiles, and kisses pressed into his hair.
If you believe deeply enough about happy endings, you will find your own.

a man dancing alone with his hands held outwards, frozen in the air
This hit me so hard. It's so vivid, and so sad and so pretty.
So, yay! Thanks for brightening my evening with this! :D God knows it's loads more fun to read about Tamaki being love's poster child than to translate Old English. ;D
no subject
It's the first image that hit me when I wrote this. xD Thank you!!
Hahahha yes! Oh god, Old English? Poor you. =X
♥ Thank you for commenting!
no subject
Now I'm all warmed inside! I want to find a happy ending too (obviously inspired with little difficulty). Thanks for sharing, this was truly well done.
no subject
Please work, Kyouya-muse!! I'm cheering for you.

That image seems to be a crowd favourite. =D Thank you so much! ♥

Yes! And that's why it brings me to tears; because Tamaki, despite everything, carries this hope and light within him and rarely, if ever, lets it get him down. He's just so dear, and that touches me.
So it is so much easier to simply see the beauty and joy of life, to bring bright light into the darkness so he won’t ever break down and cry. He had given Mother his word, and a man – though he is just a boy, only a boy, barely broken out of his shell – does not break his word.
This line just destroyed me ... *sniffles*

This was amazingly beautiful. It really shows what it's like to be a hopeless romantic, and one with enough love to never stop smiling and laughing and loving. Beautiful, thank you so much! I love it. I wish I could wrap myself up in the words and cuddle with them, imagining they're a gift from a far off beloved.
no subject
Well, I don't think the words can hug you, but here, have one from me anyway. -hugs- ♥

Also: Even if he trips, there are many, many hands extended towards him that he can choose from. He always tries to take them all. Almost makes me want to cry. Why is that? I do not know.
This whole ficlet is just so excruciatingly hopeful. It's what's so heartbreaking about Tamaki. It's lovely. Thank you.
Ah, and finally: stories of the emptiness of that a lover left behind when they leave I think there's an extra word in here?
no subject
And yes, that line is a crowd favourite, it seems. It's really the first line that popped into my head when I saw the prompt, and the rest just came from it somehow. xD Thank you!
I seem to make many people want to cry with this, really! I don't know why, because I honestly didn't intend that at all. This is supposed to be a happy, sappy gen fic. zdfsdg Oh Tamaki, you continue to surprise me.
He's really someone too good to be true; the proverbial sun, honestly. I love this boy so.
Thank you! -bows back- ♥

You say that you write Tamaki easily, and I am in awe that something so incredible could come as simple as you make it sound.
<3

I suppose it comes with the ease of long practice and a wee bit of wistful thinking, really. Tamaki, I feel, is really a wonderful person. He's so beautiful, inside and outside and honestly
I can see why Kyouya fell for himhe's one of best characters I've seen. I try to put myself in his shoes, and well, I'm really glad it worked. ^^Thank you! ♥♥♥♥
no subject
I got moved somehow... i don't know why... it's just, Tamaki's personality, his strength... makes me feel this way sometimes... and you got it so well !!
Thank you for this ff <3 I'm a Tamaki lover 100% and I'm always happy to read good ffs about him... and it's so rare(very very very very rare) to find writers out there who can write Tamaki properly...
