Fic: Forbidden Romance and Other Inane Literary Devices
When in a whimsical mood, Tamaki liked to think of them as Romeo and Juliet. Their fathers were rivals, even if only in the business world, and their families could be described as-what was the line?-‘both houses alike in dignity.’ Kyouya often pointed out that the story ended with both lovers dead, but that had never bothered Tamaki. The point was that Romeo and Juliet were together despite all else, and even if they hadn’t had much time together (before they both foolishly committed suicide, Kyouya reminds him), they loved each other. And love was all that mattered.
