✮ melodramatic, hysteric, a full theatre performance. if it was an act, just for show, he would surely win an oscar.
✮ seeing you, his girl, his love, his princess, his flower, his heart (all cheesy petnames were given to you by him, not me), being flirted with by another boy was a jolt to his entire system. he quite literally clutched his chest, hand on his forehead, and if there is any kind of chair or sofa behind him, he is collapsing on to it
✮ for a moment though? he does just stand there, eye twitching.
✮ once his theatrics cease, he’s by your side within the blink of an eye, a cloud of dust in the spot he had previously been standing in.
✮ pale, lithe hands on both of your shoulders, unintentionally squeezing so tight that you’re absolutely sure Tamaki’s finger prints will forever be indented into your skin.
✮ he begins to fuss and gush, absolutely fawning over your ‘unbelievable, astonishing beauty’, using that little trick of his to allow a little tear to trickle down his infuriatingly handsome face to add some flair
✮ if that doesn’t work in garnering your attention (or alternatively, weirding the guy out and making him back off), he just throws a tantrum.
✮ if he wasn’t so good looking? it would be an ick. if you didn’t love him so much? you would be ten times more embarrassed than you currently were
✮ ‘my sweet princess, leaving me! she must be mad at me? why else is she talking to that dirty, good for nothing, sleazy commoner-‘ , and he says all of this waving his hands like a man gone mad above his head whilst wailing to kyoya who doesn’t care in the slightest.
✮ there is no hiding Tamaki’s jealousy, it’s physically impossible for him to do.
✮ when Tamaki Suoh is in love? it’s all consuming, he’s terribly co-dependent. some think it’s general clinginess, but what he’ll never admit (seriously anyway, perhaps he’ll joke) is that it’s because for the majority of his life, he was lonely. and now he isn’t. he may be annoying at times, dramatic and overly confident, but he genuinely means well. he just loves you. too much at times, perhaps.
✮ over time, you’ve realise that if talking to a boy who’s a little too flirty is unavoidable, the best thing to do is to give Tamaki all of your attention and affection as soon as possible.
✮ hold his face in your hands, coo and fawn, peck his cheeks and his lips, call him the most handsome boy you’ve ever seen (because let’s face it, it’s true), and all is right in the world again.
✮ Kyoya Ootori
✮ stoic. reserved. eerily calm. you honestly wouldn’t notice if you didn’t know him so well.
✮ he stands there, adjusting his glasses with a single finger before he goes back to jotting on his clipboard, pretending to simply just be going about his day, monitoring the host club as per-usual
✮ but only you notice the subtle raise of a single dark brow, or the slight clench of his jaw, the flex of his hand.
✮ he flickers his eyes over to you periodically, waiting for you to put a stop to this pathetic boy’s nonsense. he isn’t one to cause a scene, not at all like Tamaki.
✮ he won’t rush over in a fit of melodramatic upset and jealousy, nor will he wail and whine about you leaving him and how much he loves you in hopes to avert your attention to him.
✮ Kyoya Ootori is composed and cool. He isn’t insecure. In fact, dating him required an emotional vetting process. Upon realising his interest in you extended beyond providing you with a pleasant service, when he stopped viewing you as any other guest, a background search was conducted on your family (he usually does this with all clients, but he dug a little deeper this time around), getting to know you was a slow process.
✮ dating was honestly something he never thought he would do. he didn’t see the point, as a marriage would probably be arranged for him anyway, so what was the need?
✮ but you? well, he came to realise he trusted you. and that was enough for him to not let jealousy consume him
✮ Kyoya’s jealousy is more like the small irritating prick of a needle. he doesn’t allow it to overpower him, or to cloud his rationale, but it isn’t pleasant at all
✮ but, he’ll let you deal with it independently unless it’s clear the little pest who calls himself a man isn’t taking a hint
✮ all in all? he trusts you, and despite how irritated he feels, no matter how much he wants to put that idiot in his place, he won’t. he isn’t one to cause a scene or make a spectacle of the situation, not unless he feels you’re incapable of handling yourself, and even then? it’s done with class and integrity, for both your sakes.
✮ Hikaru Hitachiin
✮ we all know how childish this boy can be. he’s moody, and a little emotionally constipated. he feels deeply, but he’s not prone to or capable of communicating it in the most mature way
✮ he resorts to embarrassing the boy flirting with you, i fear.
✮ whatever he can pick at, he will. poorly dressed? greasy hair? mild body odour? poor, tasteless, pitiful pick up lines? he’s grasping for straws in an attempt to humiliate this boy out of flirting with you
✮ absolutely gets Kaoru in on it too, and it doesn’t take much convincing either
✮ it begins with them loudly whispering, purposely so the boy can hear, and then it moves to straight up in your face bullying
✮ ‘Kaoru, just look at those rags, can you believe he left the house like that?’
✮ ‘Forget the rags, Hikaru, I can’t get over the smell-‘
✮ but God forbid you stick up for the boy and tell Hikaru he’s being mean, that’s an absolute betrayal and he’ll let you know.
✮ then unfortunately, all negative emotions are directed at you.
✮ he isn’t mean, he could never be mean to you. he teases and jests, of course, that’s just in his nature, and it’s done with nothing but affection. but he is snappy, he grumbles short responses until he yells, that is if he isn’t giving you the silent treatment
✮ when he yells, it isn’t about you at all, in fact, it’s more of an unintentional confession of insecurity and doubt. shoulder’s taught, high, and tense, fists clenched, nails almost biting into the pale skin of his palms, and brows tightly knitted together as he bit back a response after your incessant ‘what’s wrong?’s and ‘are you alright?’s
✮ ‘you seemed pretty content leaving me to go talk to that guy, why don’t you just go back to him, huh?!’
✮ after that? it’s obvious, he’s hurt. i wouldn’t even call it jealousy or envy, but a genuine fear you’ll leave.
✮ for a while, Hikaru is only comfortable with you being friendly to people he is also close with. he hates sharing, and not out of selfishness, but a need to keep you close, to give you a reason to stay
✮ as with what happened with Haruhi in episode 16, he needs a push from other’s to make amends, because of course you’re feeling apologetic for making your boyfriend feel so hurt, but he had no right to lash out at you
✮ after continuous badgering from the club (largely Tamaki and Kaoru), he finds you alone, wherever you may be, and for a moment just sits quietly at your side, not touching, maybe an inch or two between you
✮ then, he’ll swallow down all the apologies he had thought of that don’t sound quite right before quickly glancing to you and apologising in his way
✮ it isn’t a traditional apology, more of a short, bashful explanation as to why he acted so brash and callous. yet, despite an actual ‘i’m sorry’ not being said, it’s enough.
✮ it’s heart-felt, it’s quietly mumbled, and he means it
✮ and that’s all that matters
✮ Kaoruu Hitachiin
✮ similar to Hikaru, but not quite. maybe a mix of Tamaki in there too, a little childish, and melodramatic. there’s cheeky quips and pouts, but no yelling or silent treatment (thankfully, Hikaru, take notes)
✮ it’s starts with him questioning it a little, is he being stupid? is he deeping it? is he being dramatic? no, no, this guy is going too far. this guy is interested in HIS girlfriend, this visually assaulting, ill-dressed, cheap-cologne wearing commoner is flirting with HIS girlfriend
✮ so? he’d like to think he’s about to do something, but he doesn’t really. he pouts. embarrassingly so.
✮ he’s thought of insults he could throw at the guy, he’s thought of ways to swoop in and steal you away (is it really stealing if you’re his girlfriend?), but he doesn’t act on any of those thoughts or urges
✮ what if it made you mad at him? he couldn’t handle that
✮ so he waits, muttering little insults to himself with crossed arms and the scowl of a scolded toddler on his lips
✮ ‘he flirts like he’s just learned how to talk, tch’
✮ ‘she’s my girlfriend. s’not fair.’
✮ genuinely just feeling sorry for himself, acting like you’ve completely forgotten he’s existed, when you’ve probably been talking to this guy for about five minutes
✮ when you return to him he does create a little show of it, a smooch on your cheek, an arm around your shoulder, and the smuggest of smug grins tugging his lips upwards and eyes glancing to the boy you had just been talking to in a way that said ‘look over here loser, how you like that?’
✮ he rarely brings up the fact that he’s jealous, because honestly? he’s embarrassed, and similar to how he felt about Hikaru growing closer to Haruhi, he understands you have your own life, with people that know you but don’t know him. reluctantly, he comes to terms with the fact that he can’t always be the centre of your universe, that you can’t rewrite the stars and space to make planets orbit him rather than the sun
✮ of course, he wishes it wasn’t this way, in a selfish way that makes him ashamed of himself, he wants you all to himself, but he’ll forever have that fear that the closer he tries to keep you, the more it will push you away
✮ Kaoru being jealous is quieter than you’d expect, as despite being characterised as ‘mischievous’, his emotional intelligence is honestly shocking
✮ Takashi Morinozuka
✮ he’s strong and silent for a reason. Mori is a secure guy, secure in his masculinity and relationship. honestly, as long as you look happy, he’s content and all is right in the world
✮ it’s extremely difficult to make him jealous, in fact, he’d only ever become remotely jealous if it seemed as though you were reciprocating the attention and affection of another, which of course, never happens
✮ instead, he worries. he’s a protector by nature, so rather than scrutinising your interactions with other boys for signs of flirting, he’s mentally vetting these men to ensure they aren’t a public nuisance or worse, simply because he wants to ensure your safety
✮ although with Mori near by, no matter how hard these guys may want to make advances, they’re far too intimidated to allow these thoughts to manifest as physical actions
✮ if this ever does happen? he never strays from the strong silent guard dog boyfriend persona that was not only assigned to him by the Host Club, but was also just natural to who he was
✮ it’s as if he suddenly manifested behind you, from shadow or air you don’t know, and murmurs soft words in your ear before leading you away, not at all acknowledging the creep who got a little too close for his liking
✮ and that’s honestly it, short and sweet (more terrifying for the random dude)
✮ similarly to Kyoya, he isn’t going to cause a ruckus or draw needless attention, that would be selfish. he doesn’t want everyone to praise him as a knight in shining armour, he just wants to remove you from that situation as quickly as he possibly can
✮ Haruhi Fujioka
✮ Haruhi is stupid. she’s smart academically, no doubt. she was able to get a free ride to Ouran Academy, of course she’s intelligent.
✮ romantically, however? an absolute idiot
✮ she doesn’t even realise she is jealous, god bless her. she just has this indescribable look on her face.
✮ it’s a sad frown, but with a nose scrunched up in disgust, yet with brows furrowed in confusion, you don’t exactly know what she’s feeling and neither does she
✮ she just watches, lost in thought as she tries to compute how she feels whilst also wondering if you interacting with person who is clearly interested in you is wrong of you, or if she’s just irrational
✮ of course, this sweet girl gives you the benefit of the doubt. you surely wouldn’t be talking with this person for so long and giving them the attention they crave if you knew how they felt about you (and spoiler alert, she’s right)
✮ Haruhi slowly wilts away until YOU realise she’s jealous, because you truly can’t figure out if she’s aware she’s currently bright green or if she’s staying put to be polite
✮ when you return to her, she’s bashfully scratching the back of her neck, waving it all off with a sheepish, awkward smile, genuinely believing she’s fooling you into believing she’s fine and nothing was amiss
✮ she’s a little silly, but you wouldn’t embarrass her by pointing it out!!! so, you plant a sweet kiss to her cheek and lead her to one of those chaise lounges in the host club that she just knows was stupid expensive for some tea!
