Summary: Despite their selfish natures, they needed one another.



She would do almost anything for him, even despite their introduction – even after all the drama and misconception. However, there was a catch. Renge just didn’t do things for other people because she was generous by nature. There had to be a purpose for her services, a certain value, and usually only to her.

If he entrusted her to organize the clubs activities, she would, but not because he expected it or asked her to fulfill her self-appointed duties as manager. She would do it because they were a sad sorry bunch with little direction.

The Ouran High School Host Club needed Renge. They’d utterly fall apart without her management, and Kyouya should be thankful for the revenue she brought in.

To be frank, they all needed her. Kyouya Ootori needed her.

--

He would probably do just about anything for her, even after her initial wild antics. Even after she single-handedly took over the club and proclaimed herself their manager. However, there was a price. In truth, the club probably didn’t need a manager. Kyouya had been fine to go along with Tamaki’s usual whims since the beginning.

He didn’t need a female Tamaki to tell him what to do. However, he understood she brought them sufficient attention and added her feminine perspective to the club – something Haruhi was usually dense about.

Her intuitive and observant nature was no doubt a worthy contribution. The poor girl was obviously craving the opportunity to utilize her copious skills. Kyouya feared for the school, and maybe the world, if Renge had nothing to do and actually had to sit still. In foresight, the consequences would be catastrophic.

So he let her have her way. He let her manage her crazy and sometimes amusing schemes. She brought in a larger percentage of business than he or Tamaki had ever done, and Kyouya was content to sit back into the shadows as Renge ran the show.

Side-by-side they would watch their prosperous ventures with mutual pride. Renge would turn her face to his, and he would meet her bright eyes. Nodding appreciatively, they would always get stuck in a long moment and find it difficult to look away.

They smiled together, and behind their true intentions and services to each other, a pensive solidarity existed between them.

She needed him, and though he would never admit to it in words, he also needed her.

That is one very sweet piece of fic that makes me goes all aw~~ and makes me wish that there are more Kyouya/Renge moments in the manga.

I definitely can imagine them both playing manager and saying it is for their own selfish reason when in fact others probably get the benefits more that they do. I especially like the ending where they look at each other and smiled. :)

I was so happy when I saw this fic! Another KyouyaRenge from you *smiles* This is really sweet. *sighs dreamily*

This is something that I can imagine happening in the manga, in the backgrounds in which Bisco Hatori-sensei kept us dark with. =3

Thank you again for this wonderful fic. I hope you will continue writing on this cute pair.

Ah.Sorry, sorry. I know I am quite annoying for always asking KyouyaRenge ^___^;

*runs and memories*

Thank you for your review. (Ha, I wondered if you would notice this little drabble.)
I'm glad you enjoy the pairing, and don't worry about requesting it. I don't usually have a problem with it, but my muse on the other hand... she's hard to convince!
Hopefully I can write more in the future. They are definitely fun to play with. <3

XD

I guess any KyouyaRenge won't escape my radar huh? Thank goodness for that =3

Oh? Muse dearest..please cooperate with your master. Please?

I will await patiently until the next time your muse decides to cooperate

p/s: I've been reading at your Sesshomaru related fics (I absolutely adore the relationship between Sesshomaru and Rin) and I am tempted to read the Inuyasha manga! I knew nothing about it but after reading one of your fics, I googled the name and voila~ A beautiful man appeared in front of me!

Thanks for that! XD

Thanks! We'll see how she acts. My Ouran plot bunnies come and go.
Glad to hear you're taking an interest in Inuyasha!

I am truly impressed by how concisely you did that. I mean, you created an entire relationship (out of thin air, as far as I'm concerned - I've never been a fan of KyouyaRenge) in 400 words, and I believed it. I can totally believe that's been going on in the background this whole time. It totally makes sense. *nods* Indeed, it does. And 400 words? Sheesh, you people and your... shortness... and stuff. *grumbles enviously*

I love how you've brought out the characterization of the pairing. It was sweet and believable at the same time. I haven't given the pairing much thought to be honest, but I truly enjoyed this. Awesome job! And thanks for sharing. ^_^

Kyouya/Renge is always yays. xD I like that this is subtle and very roundabout - it all comes back to 'need'.
