Roses of Ouran's Host Club

Haruhi's Pov

Kyoya insisted that he drive me home and of course Tamaki-sempai along with Kaoru, Hikaru, Honey, and Mori wanted to tag along. We left the Ouran Fair about twenty-six minutes ago. We said our thanks and farewells to the young ladies and their parents. I was glad to hear from Kyoya that his father and Tamaki's father agreed to be friends. Although there was one thing they disagree on but Kyoya wouldn't tell me. I'm sure I'll figure it out sooner or later.

As Kyoya's black limo drove down my street the loud laughter turned into complete silence. Tamaki was the first to speak.

"Well Haruhi I hope we see you tomorrow."

Honey lowered his head and spoke in a sad voice.

"Um…actually me and Takashi have to go on a business trip to help my uncle along with my father in Washington, D.C. We'll be training some troops at the air force base. I think we'll be gone for four days, Right Takashi?"

"Actually, it's five days." Mori's voice was distant and deep as always.

"Oh. Well that's fine. I guess we have to run the host club without you guys. It won't be as fun with you and Honey gone but we'll just have to manage." I tilted my head and smiled. Unfortunately Tamaki-sempai jumped over to me in the small limo telling me how cute I looked when I smiled while he squeezed me to death.

"Tamaki, let go of me, I have to cook dinner for my dad!"

Tamaki let go of me and I waved all of them bye. My hand rested on the door handle reluctantly; like I wanted to do something but was hesitant. Before I even had the chance to think about it, I rushed over to Mori-sempai and Honey-sempai and hugged them both. Mori tensed up for a few seconds, then relaxed and hugged me back softly. Honey wrapped his arms around my neck and nuzzled his head in the crook of my neck. The feeling made me feel warm inside but I ignored it not knowing what the feeling was.

I could feel the twin's eyes stabbing me in my back. Tamaki just stared at me, surprised. Kyoya looked at me the way he usually does. But I wasn't quite sure if his eyes expressed something else like Tamaki's or Hikaru's and Kaoru's eyes did. His glasses always hid what I wanted to see the most. What he is feeling.

I shrugged my shoulders and climbed out of the car. I walked up the stairs that leads to my apartment door. I grabbed the key that's hidden under the mat – of course isn't that where most people hide their keys? – and unlocked the door. While I showered, threw on a pair of sweat pants and a t-shirt, then started on dinner the whole time I thought about the host club. I don't know why it's so hard to forget about them no matter where you are or what you're doing.

Tamaki's POV

Kyoya and I were the only two left in the limo. The ride was silent; although I wanted to apologize for the trouble I put him through during the Ouran Festival, I just couldn't find the words to say it. Why is it always the hardest to talk to Mommy than any other people I know?

"Tamaki, I have a question to propose to you." Kyoya stared out the window as he talked.

"Yes Kyoya."

"Why did you leave?"

"You mean during the Festival?" That was a stupid question, of course he's talking about during the festival.

"Why yes."

"Well, Éclair was giving me the opportunity to see my mother again, and it would make my grandmother happy if I married Éclair. I didn't want to leave you guys… I just thought…"

"Tamaki, you honestly didn't think that we didn't want you anymore. No matter what my father said or what anyone else says, we don't care. We all enjoy spending time with each other. Even Haruhi thinks so. Without the host club, we wouldn't be able to explore your world Tamaki, and your world is what made us all happy. We all learned-especially me- that even with the weight on our shoulders that has been given to us, we can still be happy. We would all be lost without you." Kyoya had a small smile stained on his lips.

"Kyoya, you really think so?" I leaped over onto his lap and wrapped my arms around his neck. Finally, he let down his stone wall and opened up his gates to me.

"I'm really glad you think that Mommy. I thought I'd never hear such words come out your mouth, but I'm glad they did."

"Tamaki, if you don't get off me…!"

I just wrapped my arms around his neck tighter as he tried to push me off his lap.

"Mr. Ootori, we arrived at Mr. Souh's mansion."

The driver stood outside the car door holding it open. I lightly pulled myself off of Kyoya's lap and got out the limo.

"See you tomorrow Kyoya."

"As you wish."

I turned toward my home and walked inside. The maids went on about how happy they were that I didn't leave. I suppose my father didn't feel them in on that subject yet.

As the maids ranted on, except for one, I just ignored them and went to bed completely exhausted.
