Bored, the demon walked over to the lake to see who was around...


((Crowley really, really wants to do some bastardly things to people. If you'd like him to do something nasty to your character, leave me an OOC note in your reply, otherwise he'll be good. Marginally. No promises, really...))

Tamaki looked Very, Very Worried. "Maybe I shouldn't have played fetch with her. Maybe she doesn't like it..."

[anthony-crowley.livejournal.com]

This couldn't go on much longer.

"You played fetch with my sister? I can guarantee she wouldn't like it."

[imyourking.livejournal.com]

Tamaki blinked. "You're my dog's brother?" he asked. "You don't look like her. It's pleased to meet you!" Tamaki hadn't realized Antoinette had a brother...

[anthony-crowley.livejournal.com]

Crowley thought he'd been remarkably patient during the nonsense. He wasn't going to be anymore. "What? No, I'm not your dog's brother. Do I look like I could be related to your fucking dog?"

[imyourking.livejournal.com]

"You never know," Tamaki said. "I was greeted by a 2D mouse, after all." He smiled. "But you have a sister named Antoinette? What a coincidence!"

[anthony-crowley.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, remarkable. You have a dog with the same name as my sister," he muttered. "So how'd you bring your dog here, anyway?" asked Crowley not really caring.

[imyourking.livejournal.com]

"I don't know," Tamaki said. "I just got out of the car with her and we were here." He held out his hand. "Oh, how rude of me! I'm Tamaki Suoh!"

[anthony-crowley.livejournal.com]

"You don't look like a Tamaki."

The demon just looked at the boy's outstretched hand without making any move to take it. "Name's Anthony Crowley."

[imyourking.livejournal.com]

"You don't think so?" he said. "It's Japanese," as if Crowley couldn't figure that out himself. "My father named me. He's from Japan. I just moved to Japan last year to see if I could inherit the company," because obviously, Crowley cared. He didn't drop his hand. "It's nice to meet you, Mr. Crowley."

[anthony-crowley.livejournal.com]

He continued to not take the offered hand. "Just Crowley. So, can you inherit the company?"

[imyourking.livejournal.com]

Tamaki shrugged, finally giving up and letting his hand fall to his side. "I'm not sure. But I'm not really all that concerned. I mean, I'm not completely uninterested in my father's work, but I've got this look that no one could ignore, or I could use my genius to become a great scientist, or maybe I could build an animal kingdom in the northern lands!"

[anthony-crowley.livejournal.com]

The demon blinked. Modest. As bizarre as the latter two statements were, the one he latched onto was, "You have a look no one can ignore?"

[imyourking.livejournal.com]

"Of course not," Tamaki said, flicking his hair. "It's completely perfect, don't you think? God has blessed me by making me absolutely perfect in every way!"

[anthony-crowley.livejournal.com]

"That was generous of Him," said Crowley mildly. "Although, are you completely certain that you're perfect? You don't have a single blemish?"

[imyourking.livejournal.com]

"Not one!" Tamaki said. "Do you see one on this perfect face of mine? And, I'm a genius, and I'm kind and caring, not to mention generous.

[anthony-crowley.livejournal.com]

A subtle hand gesture and then, "I'm assuming you mean besides the big zit on your chin. A nasty one like that could take at least a week to go away..."

[imyourking.livejournal.com]

Tamaki smiled cheerily, not that he had ever stopped. "What are you talking about? I've never had a zit in my life." He was too rich for zits.

Wordlessly, Crowley pulled a mirror from his inside jacket pocket and handed it over.

[imyourking.livejournal.com]

Tamaki looked at the mirror, and then his smile disappeared. He touched it to make sure that it was actually there, and then he wailed. In the most dramatic way possible, he flung the mirror away from him, grabbed his heart, and sank to his knees. "Why..." he wibbled. "Why is this.... this... what have I done to deserve this?!" Melodramatically, he touched his face.

[anthony-crowley.livejournal.com]

Crowley smirked. "Guess you upset the Big Guy somehow..." His voice took on a scolding tone. "Have you been playing with yourself too much lately?"

[imyourking.livejournal.com]

Tamaki blushed and stood up, looking much less depressed. "I don't do that!" he sputtered.

[anthony-crowley.livejournal.com]

With a knowing smile, Crowley said, "Sure you don't, kid. You're the only one in the world who can manage to keep his hands off himself."

[imyourking.livejournal.com]

"I am!" Tamaki exclaimed. "Someone has to!"

[anthony-crowley.livejournal.com]

"How selfless of you to take one for the team," he sneered, secretly amused. "Then don't come by my house after 8pm. There's a good chap."

[imyourking.livejournal.com]

Not turning any less red, Tamaki just nodded. "I'll... be sure to remember that. How do I know when it's 8pm?"
