It was almost time for the Host Club to close. I couldn't just enter because I know he'd be busy. And I would just be left out when his customers bombarded him just to look at him like a movie star. So, I waited outside the Third Music Room for him to finally be alone. 5 minutes I thought. He'd be out in 5 minutes. I waited. I suddenly felt tense as I watched as Tamaki walked out with Kyouya and was soon followed by Hikaru and Kaoru. I was anxious when I saw Haruhi-kun walk out with Honey-sempai. As soon as I saw Honey, I was bound to see him too. But he wasn't with them.
"Haru-chan! Tomorrow, we'll eat 7 cakes! I'll bring Usa-chan and we'll eat together! Let's invite Tama-chan and Kyou-chan and Hika-chan and Kao-chan and Takashi!" He said gleefully. I was nervous. Had he left? Was he still inside? Was he absent? Was he somewhere else? Hiding? I stood up straight and began to straighten out my uniform. I took a step towards the opened door and walked inside. It was dark because the lights were off but bright enough because the sunlight shone through the glass windows. He was there. His profile was glorious against the sunset. Sitting on the ledge of one of the windows. Staring towards the trees. I wasn't usually this nervous. I was always happy. But he made me nervous alright. He filled my stomach with butterflies.
"M-Mori-kun…" I whispered. I didn't think my voice was loud enough for him to hear. He turned his gave towards me. I guess he did. I was staring down and fiddling with my fingers. I was very nervous. I looked at him and saw the most beautiful sight. He was smiling. At me.
"Uhmm…" I started but I couldn't say the exact words I'd been wanting to say. I just stood there as he waited for what I wanted to say.
"What is it, Rika-chan?" He faced me. He was directly looking at me.
"You…know me?" I asked, baffled by what he said. How did he know me?
"Yes. You're a sophomore here, am I correct?" He asked. I was still shocked.
"Uhm. Yes. But how…?" I blushed.
"You're warm personality is one quality I'd want to achieve. For so many people to like you. That you're surrounded by friends. I admire someone who's exactly like that." He said as he looked out the window again. He likes someone else. He just said it himself. I felt tears well up in my eyes. My tears started to flow heavier as I let his words sink in.
"You like someone else…" I whispered. "Excuse me, Mori-kun. I have to go." I said as I wiped my tears and tried to put on a smile. He looked at me and sadness filled his eyes. I ran out of the music room, not caring where I would go. I ran towards the staircase and burst into sobs. My vision became blurry as my tears ran. I couldn't see properly. I took one step and suddenly, I lost balance. I was about to fall down the flight of stairs when someone grabbed my wrist and pulled me away from the stairs and into a hug. My head was only to his chest. A boy had saved me. He was tall. Very. I looked up through my very red and wet eyes and saw Mori holding me tight against his body. I didn't even hear him come after me. I sobbed and buried my face in his chest.
"Everything's okay. You're safe. Just don't pull off that stunt again. You could've been injured." He said as he stroked my hair.
"I thought—you—liked—some—other girl?" I said in between sobs.
"Silly, Rika. I was talking about you." He pulled me away just enough to look at me directly.
"M..Me?" I said with my voice filled with happiness and excitement.
"Of course. Would you do me a favor?" He asked as he stroked my hair.
"Anything…" I whispered.
"Would you help me change to be someone like you?" He asked
"Of course."
"Thanks." He let me go and started walking away.
I was now Rika Aizawa. A second year sophomore who's finally opened herself up to the man she loves and now knows that he loves her back.
"One more thing…" He suddenly remarked and snapped me out of my revere.
"Yes?" I asked all too suddenly.
"Would you do a host the honor to be his girlfriend?" He smiled a warm smile and a huge blush spread through my face.
"I thought you'd never ask…Mori-kun." I felt my eyes brim with tears.
"Arigato…Rika-chan." He smiled once more. "Aishiteru." And with that, headed off deeper into the hallway.
I was now Rika Aizawa. Second year sophomore. The happiest girl on earth…and new current girlfriend of Morinozuka Takashi…the man of my life.
