* TriangRelations: The LoveTriangle between Kyoya, Tamaki, and Haruhi takes the form of Number 6. Kyoya is in love with both Haruhi and Tamaki, who are already in a relationship and only have feelings for one another. He's intent to keep his feelings to himself, especially after news of Haruhi and Tamaki's engagement.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Kosuke’s laziness at the beginning of the story is at first PlayedForLaughs, but is later shown to have serious consequences. She’s basically failing P.E., and she misses out on potential scholarships because she couldn’t be bothered to write the essays. Her friends and family do love her, but are very annoyed with her behavior--and in her parents' case, are incredibly concerned for her future. Her lack of effort into her relationship with Kohta makes him feel like he’s pulling the entire relationship, and ultimately results in the two mutually splitting ways. Her refusal to almost ever go out also means that she hasn't made any strong friendships, so once her best friend Okina moves away, she's left alone.

The story is available [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/21766690/chapters/51933766 here]] and [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13451207/1/I-Think-We-ll-Be-Okay here]]. It is currently in-progress and currently slated for more than sixty chapters. The first eight chapters serve as the story's prologue, with the story proper picking up around the ninth chapter.

* {{Hypocrite}}: Yuzuru asks Haruhi and Tamaki's friends to write them personalized letters for their wedding day. When talking to the twins about it, Kosuke accuses them of writing something in their typical poke-fun-at-Tamaki fashion, and is surprised when their letters are genuinely thoughtful. Hikaru claims offense that Kosuke thinks so low of them...but it turns out that Kosuke read his ''second'' later, and his first was telling Haruhi it wasn't too late to change her mind about marrying Tamaki. Hikaru defends himself by saying he at least changed his mind.

* LethalChef: Played straight, averted, then played straight again. At the start, Kosuke is such a bad cook that her siblings are terrified when she cooks for them. Turns out her cooking was so awful because she didn't really pay attention or care--once she takes it up again and realizes she has a passion for it, she's actually an ''incredibly'' good chef whose cooking gets nothing but raving praise. However, she is still an '''awful''' baker. This Kosuke cannot explain, because even when she's as careful with a formula as possible, it always turns out disastrous. Taken UpToEleven in "Where There's Smoke", where her batch of cookies requires the entire wing of the building to be ''evacuated''.

* MoodWhiplash: "Broken Pieces" has Kyoya and Kosuke getting into a visceral fight, tearing into each other, hurling insults...until Kosuke sprays bugpray into her eyes, spinning the tense mood into comedic.

''I Think We'll Be Okay'' is an ''Anime/OuranHighSchoolHostClub'' fanfiction by iamconstantine. The story follows two main characters, Kosuke and Kyoya.

OriginalCharacter Kosuke Nakahara life's life is fairly average: she and her family live in the mountain town of Karuizawa in a restaurant owned by her mother and stepfather. Unfortunately for Kosuke, it can't be denied that she's a very, ''very'' lazy person, which starts to raise concerns with her loved ones: especially her mother, whose relationship with Kosuke is already tremulous. When a sudden tragedy strikes the family, Kosuke has to step up as caretaker. More and more problems arise, only increasing Kosuke's desperation to keep her family provided for.

Kyoya Ootori has finally been given the opportunity by his father to break out of his role of "third-born son" and prove himself as a worthy addition to the family business. On top of this opportunity wearing him to the bone, Kyoya is also currently dealing with a heart split in two different directions--a fact that annoys him to no end. Though Kyoya has always wanted to prove his loyalty to the family name, but the chance comes when financial disaster strikes the company.

The two enter an arrangement as their only way out of their situations, and though neither are happy about it, time might prove they can work something out.

* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: The story follows the anime continuity, wherein Kyoya's main source of conflict as a character was his pressure and frustration with being the third-born son of the Ootori family. In this fic, he also has romantic feelings for Tamaki and Haruhi both despite them being engaged. His struggle to meet his father's expectations is compounded with the dysfunction of the Ootori family becoming more evident in the wake of his parents' divorce.

* AllTakeAndNoGive: Even though Kosuke sincerely loves her boyfriend Kohta, her lack of effort to do anything extends to their relationship as well. Not so much because she didn't care about it, but because she wouldn't stop her pre-existing bad habits for it. Kohta isn't convinced that she's going to make an effort to keep the relationship going once they're off to college. [[spoiler:This is why he ultimately breaks up with her, albeit delayed because of her parents' deaths.]]
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Kosuke is hailed by her friends and classmates as the best cook in the culinary department, until Amaya Domen comes along. She has years of training under her belt, has been praised by celebrity chefs, and has won several cooking competitions. She can also cook sweet ''and'' savory food, unlike Kosuke, who can turn sugar into ash. Kosuke actually isn't bothered at first and is even starstruck until she realizes just how pompous Amaya truly is.

** The first seven chapters have Kosuke going from a lazy, immature couch potato to a hard worker driven by her need to take care of her siblings.

* DisappearedDad: Kosuke's father was a long-standing mystery in her life, and she didn't even know his ''name'', let alone if he was still alive or not. Emiko refused to even speak about him despite Kosuke's attempts. [[spoiler:"A Question" reveals that he is alive, he and Emiko divorced, and he is an incredibly wealthy business owner.]]

* DoubleMeaningTitle
** "Poison Control": Kosuke literally calls poison control when Hitsuji gets badly ill. More broadly, though, the chapter shows how Kosuke struggles to keep her remaining family together, doing her best to keep "control" despite all the grief and hardships.
** "Blue": The place Kosuke goes to for her [[spoiler:compensated date]] is "the Blue Tower." Later, as she's leaving for the night, [[spoiler:the customer wearing a Blue Suit tries to force himself on her.]]
** "Surprise": After news of Kyoya and Kosuke's engagement is made public, Kyoya's friends and classmates throw him a surprise party at the University. Kyoya also finds out that Tamaki and Haruhi already know Kosuke.
** "Record Scratch": Kosuke finds out the shocking fact that Tamaki and Haruhi are already close friends with Kyoya, but the semi-TitleDrop comes from her later conversation with Kyoya.
-->'''Kyoya:''' You said yourself that what you say and do can and will affect me. So I would appreciate it if you were more—mindful of your behavior in public.
-->''If a record were playing right now, it would have just scratched.''
** "Porcelain" is mostly a lighthearted chapter in which Kosuke cooks soup and shares with other students (which they eat from ''porcelain'' bowls) but it also includes her realization that she needs to try and repair her and Kyoya's relationship, which she imagines as ''porcelain'' shards that can be put back together.
** "Take Off" has Haruhi ''taking off'' on a plane to study in America, as well as Yoshio telling Kyoya to ''take time off'' work for a while to build up his social image again.
** In "Unwell", Kyoya visits Anne-Sophie while she's ill--but the title also refers to Kyoya's state as he becomes more and more overwhelmed by his family's desintegration.
** "Steel and Cloth" introduces Kosuke's grandparents. Airi is a blacksmith hobbyist unafraid to get gritty in her work (Steel), while Sugimoto has more delicate entries like knitting and embroidery (cloth). While they and Kosuke share some heartwarming moments together, it's undercut with Kosuke's worry that they're more dangerous than they seem.
** "Where There's Smoke" is the debut of Amaya, previously mentioned as a pining thorn in Kyoya's side. Her instant targeting of Kosuke proves Kyoya's words accurate ("Where there's smoke, there's fire.") More humorously, it also refers to Kosuke's batch of cookies inexplicably turning into nuclear waste.
** "Hiding" refers to both Haruhi and Kyoya literally hiding during a game of Hide-and-Seek, and Kyoya still refusing to outright speak of his lingering feelings for Haruhi and Tamaki both.
** "Stepping on Toes" refers to literally stepping on toes--the greatest issue of Kosuke's terrible ballroom dancing. The phrase also means to offend someone, which Kosuke did with her last dance partner with her aforementioned toe-stepping.
** "A Woeful Ballad" refers to the humiliating play that Amaya strongarms Kyoya into participating in, but is also a quote from Shakespeare's "All the world's a stage" speech, cited by Amaya for her reason for inviting everyone to the rehearsal.

* AdultFear
** The plot kicks off when Kosuke's parents [[spoiler:abruptly die in a car accident.]] On top of that, she now has to provide for both herself and her younger siblings despite having no job, no college education to ''get'' a job, and no time to get said education. With their income now frozen, Kosuke is left to figure out how she's going to provide for them in the long run. Later, [[spoiler:a loan shark comes to collect her now-deceased father's debts--and implicity threatens her siblings if she refuses to comply.]]
** Hitsuji and Minami are often sources of AdultFear for Kosuke, such as when Kosuke loses Hitsuji in a large crowd in "Halloween Frights." Additionally, Kosuke is under the constant fear that their financial security with Shigeo will come at the cost at the three siblings becoming distant, as Kosuke now has to spend much more time away from Hitsuji and Minami.

* ColorMotif: The color blue comes up several times in distressing contexts.
** [[spoiler:The flower arrangements at Emiko and Marti's funeral contain bluebells.]]
** Kosuke's very uncomfortable compensated date takes place in a place known as the Blue Tower
** The perverted customer who later comes onto her is wearing a Blue Suit (and is thus only referred to as such.
** Kyoya is very uncomfortable helping with Tamaki and Haruhi's wedding preparations, as he's struggling with his recently realized feelings for both of them--in his debut chapter, he's helping them with the flower arrangements and tells them that the blue flowers in one don't quite fit.
** Shigeo's eyes are a bright blue, and Kosuke is very uncomfortable with hers having the exact same color, not wanting to acknowledge the connection between them.
** Shigeo wears a blue tie to the strangers' engagement party, which Kosuke is extremely uncomfortable at.
** Kosuke's dress for her and Kyoya's first meeting is blue--the dinner ends up going very poorly, and she leaves worried and embarrassed.
** Several times Kosuke, Shigeo, and others are referred to as "blueblooded," a fact that Kosuke struggles very much to get used to.
** Amaya, Kyoya's AbhorrentAdmirer with a jealous vendetta against Kosuke, is described as having hair so black that it shines blue.

* "Hiding" refers to both Haruhi and Kyoya literally hiding during a game of Hide-and-Seek, and Kyoya still refusing to outright speak of his lingering feelings for Haruhi and Tamaki both.
* "Stepping on Toes" refers to literally stepping on toes--the greatest issue of Kosuke's terrible ballroom dancing. The phrase also means to offend someone, which Kosuke did with her last dance partner with her aforementioned toe-stepping.
* "A Woeful Ballad" refers to the humiliating play that Amaya strongarms Kyoya into participating in, but is also a quote from Shakespeare's "All the world's a stage" speech, cited by Amaya for her reason for inviting everyone to the rehearsal.

* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: The story follows the anime continuity, wherein Kyoya's main source of conflict was his pressure and frustration with being the third-born son. Him having romantic feelings for Tamaki and Haruhi both, and having to accept that the two of them are meant for each other rather than himself, wasn't brought up in the original story.
* AdultFear: The plot kicks off when Kosuke's parents [[spoiler:abruptly die in a car accident.]] On top of that, she now has to provide for both herself and her younger siblings despite having no job, no college education to ''get'' a job, and no time to get said education. With their income now frozen, Kosuke is left to figure out how she's going to provide for them in the long run. Later, [[spoiler:a loan shark comes to collect her now-deceased father's debts--and implicity threatens her siblings if she refuses to comply.]]

** Addressed in the author's note in the fourth chapter. Kosuke is considered a legal adult who can care for her siblings and keep ownership of the house at 18 years old, but the legal age of adulthood in Japan will only be 18 in the year 2022. Thus far, it has been 20.

** Happens again later, in "Broken Pieces." Kosuke acts buddy-buddy with Kyoya, pretending like they're best friends, and gets angry when he calls her out on it--basically deciding that he wasn't "allowed" to be angry anymore, otherwise he'd be the bad guy. However, instead of voicing this, Kyoya just continues to be condenscending by basically just telling her to stop because "he said so". This leads to another argument blown out of proportion, though this time they thankfully work it out and apologize.

* FakeRelationship: Kosuke and Kyoya decide in "Record Scratch" to pretend that two already have feelings for each other despite just meeting, just to keep their friends from worrying about them. The already tricky act is only made worse when right after, they get into a huge argument.

* CerebrusCallBack: In "Small Hours," Kyoya pokes fun at Kosuke for genuinely fearing that her accidentally stepping on someone's toes during a dance would have dire consequences--and brings it up again in "Empathy and Sympathy." However, in "Stepping on Toes," this is ''exactly'' what happens: her embarrassingly bad dance with a family friend of the Ootoris earns her derision from the onlookers.

* CharacterDevelopment: The first seven chapters have Kosuke going from a lazy, immature couch potato to a hard worker driven by her need to take care of her siblings.

* Airi and Sugimoto's marriage is 40+ years strong, despite their differences and occasional bickering. In "Steel and Cloth" Sugimoto mentions being offended that Airi doesn't wear any of the clothes he makes for her, while Airi defends herself by saying they're too pretty to get dirty.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome:
** Kosuke’s laziness at the beginning of the story is mostly PlayedForLaughs, but is later shown to have serious consequences. She’s basically failing P.E. (thus getting her grounded), she misses out on potential scholarships because she couldn’t be bothered to write the essays, and her parents are incredibly concerned about her future. Her lack of effort into her relationship with Kohta makes him feel like he’s pulling the entire relationship, and ultimately results in the two mutually splitting ways.
** Once Kosuke steps up as caretaker, she has to learn just how hard parenting is. Though her younger siblings are two sweet, adorable kids, they are not perfect angels. They are still ''kids'' and will throw tantrums, cause mayhem, and generally need to be watched over on a regular basis--being left to take care of her younger siblings is ''incredibly'' difficult for Kosuke, especially when she still has to keep food on the table and a roof over their heads. On top of that, raising two children on her own with a frozen income is not something Kosuke can effortlessly power through with a smile. Kosuke’s plan to go to college is basically thrown out the window, as there’s no possible way for her to focus on her education when she has two children to care for full-time. She gets a job as a cashier in a grocery store, but they're still losing more money than they're making.
** Losing both of their parents at a young age does more than just make Hitsuji and Minami sad--the emotional trauma results in the two of them regressing, a common response in children in the face of overwhelming grief. Minami starts whining about things she didn't before (like not winning games) and pushes limits on how much she can disobey Kosuke before she gets in trouble. Hitsuji's speech development rewinds back to non-verbal whines and grunts and he starts wetting the bed again. Hitsuji also does not fully grasp the concept of death yet; he just knows that his parents have up and gone and will not be coming back.

* AdultFear: The plot kicks off when Kosuke's parents [[spoiler:abruptly die in a car accident.]] On top of that, she now has to provide for both herself and her younger siblings despite having no job, no college education to ''get'' a job, and no time to get said education. With their income now frozen, Kosuke is left to figure out how she's going to provide for them in the long run.
* AllForNothing: Kosuke goes on a compensated group date in a desperate attempt to get quick money in light of her debt to a loan shark. The whole experience is incredibly uncomfortable as she plays pretend with a group of strangers in an unfamiliar environment. One in particular is particularly flirty, tugging on her hair and complimenting her legs, which makes her all the more eager to escape. The same client (who she dubs as "the Blue Suit", as she forgot his name) confronts her afterwards to get her to come home with him, grabbing her before being interrupted by one of his friends. Kosuke is very shaken by it all, and when she returns home, she realizes that the money she got is only going to cover one week of the debt's pay.
* AllTakeAndNoGive: Even though Kosuke sincerely loves her boyfriend Kohta, her lack of effort to do anything extends to their relationship as well. Not so much because she didn't care about it, but because she wouldn't stop her pre-existing bad habits for it. Kohta isn't convinced that she's going to make an effort to keep the relationship going once they're off to college. [[spoiler:This is why he ultimately breaks up with her, albeit only delayed because of her parents' deaths.]]

* DarkerAndEdgier: Compared to its [[Anime/OuranHighSchoolHostClub source]], which was a dramedy story that became more dramatic as the story progressed, ''I Think We'll Be Okay'' starts off much darker right from the get-go, with one of the protagonists [[spoiler:losing her parents in an abrupt accident]] and dealing with the fallout.

* OppositesAttract: Kyoya's own observation on his feelings for Tamaki and Haruhi. Tamaki is opposite his ''personality'', being very emotional and flamboyant and unafraid of wearing his heart on his sleeve. Haruhi is opposite his ''upbringing'', being a commoner who has never had to worried about family businesses or relations. He concludes that if he were to ever fall for someone ''else'', they would also somehow be his opposite.

* OriginalCharacter: Due to Kosuke being one herself and one of the two protagonists of the story, there are several characters related to her story that don't appear in canon. The first five chapters follow original characters exclusively--Kosuke herself, her family (Marti, Emiko, Hitsuji, Minami), her boyfriend Kohta, her best friend Okina, etc. It isn't until chapter six that canon faces arrive in Haruhi, Tamaki, and Ranka. Later, we also meet [[spoiler:Kosuke's father, Shigeo, and her grandfather, Sugimoto.]]

She gets a job as a cashier in a grocery store, but they're still losing more money than they're making.

** Kosuke is a master chef in the kitchen, praised for her cooking skills and often asked for her recipes. She's also very knowledgable in food safety and equipment. When she starts her ''Application of Culinary Skills I'' class at college, she's disappointed that it's a bit below her skill level. But as she herself admits, it's the only class she can take without any prerequisites. Even then, she had to pass a test on food safety first.
** Ootori Medical may be a generations-long empire in the health industry, but it hasn't reached its status purely by itself. Over the years it has either partnered or bought out other businesses in the medical field. This includes the major partnership they have with [=DomenMed=]--when the company decides to cut ties with Ootori Medical, everyone is sent into a panic, as the company will likely lose millions in revenue, have other partners back out in light of such a change, and have to hack-and-slash for just a ''chance'' of not collapsing entirely. Even when a partnership with Amida Health is ensured via Kyoya and Kosuke's ArrangedMarriage, they'll still have to let go of a considerable number of employees.

* TallDarkAndHandsome: Kyoya is point-blank described as much in "Surprise."

Even when a partnership with Amida Health is ensured via Kyoya and Kosuke's ArrangedMarriage, they'll still have to let go of a considerable number of employees.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: Kosuke is a kind girl whose friendliness can sometimes turn into motherliness, and still tries to be kind to others despite her circumstances. However, in "Tokyo Streets," believe that she's possibly being tailed by a worker of the loan shark, she decides that she's had enough and decides to arm herself with a walking stick to do some clobbering.

** Happens again later, in "Broken Pieces." Kosuke acts buddy-buddy with Kyoya, pretending like they're best friends, and gets angry when he calls her out on it--basically deciding that he wasn't "allowed" to be angry anymore, otherwise he'd be the bad guy. However, instead of voicing this, Kyoya just continues to be condenscending by basically just telling her to stop because "he said so." This leads to another argument blown out of proportion, though this time they thankfully work it out and apologize.
* CannotSpitItOut: Okina has a crush on one of her classmates, which Kosuke teases her about.

* ImportantHaircut: When her younger brother is afraid of a haircut, Kosuke gets her own cut short to help. This, atop with a change in wardrobe, makes Kosuke realize that she looks very, very little like the girl she used to be.

* InternalReveal: As the story is told from Kosuke and Kyoya's sides, the readers know full and well that Kosuke already knows Haruhi and Tamaki before she meets Kyoya. Kyoya himself doesn't find out until "Surprise," however. Kosuke has the same reveal in the following chapter, "Record Scratch."

* LethalChef: Played straight, averted, then played straight again. At the start, Kosuke is such a bad cook that her siblings are terrified when she cooks for them. Turns out her cooking was so awful because she didn't really pay attention or care--once she takes it up again and realizes she has a passion for it, she's actually an ''incredibly'' good chef whose cooking gets nothing but raving praise. However, she is still an '''awful''' baker. This Kosuke cannot explain, because even when she's as careful with a formula as possible, it always turns out disastrous.

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Kosuke and Kyoya deliver back-to-back ones to each other in "Broken Pieces." First Kosuke rips into Kyoya for his condenscending and self-righteous attitude, and his hypocrisy of doing the same things he tells her ''not'' to do, like embarass him in public. Kyoya responds by calling her out for putting him in a position where he'd be the bad guy unless she did as she said, and acting like she was trying to make things better when she was really just pretending nothing bad had happened in the first place.

* BothSidesHaveAPoint: Kosuke and Kyoya's argument in "Record Scratch" is told through Kosuke's point of view at first, but neither she nor Kyoya are totally right or wrong. On the one hand, Kosuke has legitimate reasons for not knowing that much about Amida Health yet and is certainly not ''trying'' to embarrass Kyoya, and in any case she doesn't need to be scolded like a child. On the other hand, Kyoya isn't wrong in that from his perspective, Kosuke agreed to run a company she knows nothing about, and people are going to start asking questions as to why someone as educated as Kyoya is engaged to her. Kyoya shouldn't be scolding her for embarrassing him when he stormed out of their first meeting, Kosuke shouldn't be scolding him for talking on his phone when she was texting Haruhi, and so on. Many of their issues come from simple misunderstandings, but the argument spirals out of control.
