Prepared

"So let me get this straight," said Hikaru, "you two don't know the sex of the twins yet, but you're choosing names."

"Well, it's better to be prepared," Haruhi replied. She cocked her head over to Tamaki. "And he's rather enjoying it."

She was polite enough not to add, "Much to the chagrin of everyone else." Within the past hour, Tamaki had offered one hundred names, ninety-eight of which were vetoed while the last two were, in Kyouya's own words, forever banned from the Fujioka-Ohtori household. Obviously, Tamaki did not understand the concept of giving up.

"Will they have both names?" Kaoru wondered. "Fujioka-Ohtori. With a hyphen."

"Just Ohtori," Kyouya said. "It's easier that way."

"He means he wants it that way," Haruhi clarified, but she did not seem too begrudged by the idea. A few feet over, Tamaki was gesturing his arms wildly, which meant he had found another name. He went ignored. He was very much saddened.

"Actually, it's probably better that it's Ohtori than Fujioka," Hikaru suddenly said, draping his arms over Haruhi while playing with her cheeks. Kyouya noticed that Haruhi did nothing to stop him.

"Why's that?"

"Think about it," he said. "Suppose she were called Usagi."

"Usagi!" cried Hunny, who was very pleased by the suggestion.

"Which she most definitely will not," said Kyouya. "No daughter of mine will ever be called Fujioka Usagi."

"Oh, Kyouya," said Haruhi.

"What about it?" said Kaoru.

"Think about it. Fujioka Usagi? Her initials would be F.U."
