5 minutes to Midnight

Part 1: Let's go to Tokyo!

Hikaru x Haruhi Tamaki x OC Kaoru x OC

Haruhi's POV

"So, what are your plans for the holidays?" Tamaki asked and looked at me.

"Who are you talking to?" I asked and tilted my head.

"All of you of course." He said with a smile, like it had been obvious. I sighed and rested my head in my hands. Sometimes he was just too idiotic.

"Why are you asking?" I asked him and looked up from my hands. I had a bad feeling that he would come up with some kind of Host Club activity for the one week we had away from school. All of the others had just been listening silently to our conversation, and I guess they noticed my nervousness.

"Well, I had this great idea! We could all take a trip to Tokyo, the capital of our country!" He exclaimed excitedly. I glared at him with my mouth open. What was he talking about?

"We don't have any plans in the holidays, and it sounds great." The twins said in common, and moved closer on each side of me, with their famous smiles, who always meant trouble.

"I want to go too!" Honey exclaimed excited. Mori sadly shook his head.

"You know we can't, you've promised your dad that you'll stay close to help your brother." Mori reminded him. Honey's smile quickly faded and his eye was filled with tears.

"Oh, you're right. Sorry guys, but I guess I can't go then." He apologized, looking down.

"Don't worry senpai, just stay and help your brother the best you can, right?" Tamaki said trying to cheer him up. Honey nodded, but still seemed sad.

"Now, what about you Kyoya? Uhm... Kyoya?" We all looked around, but he was nowhere to be found.

"I'm here." He suddenly said as he returned to the room, placing his cell phone back in his pocket.

"So, are you coming with us?" Tamaki asked, with a bright smile, but Kyoya shook his head.

"I'm afraid I can't. I have business to do here." He said. Tamaki sighed, but nodded.

"So, what about you Haruhi?" Kaorou asked playfully and winked at me. I laughed nervously, and moved a bit more over to Hikaru's side. Not a good idea, since he grabbed the chance to wrap his arms around me and pull me into a bone crashing hug.

"Come on, please say you will. For us." The twins begged in union.

"Let me go!" I whined and made my way out of Hikaru's arms. Both he and his brother laughed at me.

"Would you stop harassing my little girl!" Tamaki said angrily, and I sighed, as it only caused the twin to laugh harder.

"So, are you coming or not?" Hikaru asked when he finally could control his laugh.

"Uhm... I would surely love to, but I don't think I can afford it." I excused. The twins looked at each other and laughed again. I didn't got the funny thing, until Tamaki sighed.

"Do you think I invites you and then expect you to pay Haruhi? We know your situation, that's why I'm paying for you." He exclaimed happily. I started to blush.

"You don't have too, it wasn't meant like that..." I mumbled.

"Aww, you're so cute." Tamaki said excited and looked at me with teary eyes.

"Don't be all emotional, anyways I don't think my father will let me go..." I said, hoping this would end the discussion.

"I expected you to say that, so I did you a favor, and called him right before." Kyoya suddenly said.

"You did WHAT?" I shrieked. How could he just call my dad, without my permission? Well, I could expect the twins or Tamaki to do something like that, but Kyoya?

"I called your dad." He repeated totally calm. My mood just sank. Not good. Not good at all.

"What did he said?" Tamaki, Kaorou and Hikaru all said at the same time. I crossed my fingers under the table, hoping no one would notice.

"He said that he thought it was a brilliant idea. As long as the twins were keeping and eye on Haruhi all the time, so that blonde one didn't put a hand on his daughter." He told. The twins gave a highfive in front of my head, and laughed hysterical of Tamaki who was slowly sliding down the chair, with a painful grimace on his face.
"Why me? Why does he absolutely hate me?" He whined.

"Would you knock it off? At least she got to come with us." Kaorou said as he and his brother were making their own victory dances. That made Tamakis face light up, and he wasn't slow to join them.

"Thank god, am I really going to be with those guys alone, for a whole week?" I whined, but so they couldn't hear me. Honey and Mori laughed, and Kyoya even smiled.

"Don't worry, you'll have a good time." Honey said, positive as always.

"I seriously doubt that, but I guess I might as well try to enjoy it." I sighed and looked at the dancing boys. Well, I enjoyed hanging out with them normally, and after all, it would only be a week... Maybe it would be an okay trip.

Part 2 – Everybody's getting ready

Haruhi's POV

"Darling, have you packed?" My dad almost sang as he entered the room and looked at my half full suitcase. He stiffened and looked from me to the suitcase, and then back to me.

"What's wrong dad?" I asked confused and tilted my head.
"Do you think I will let you leave with THIS?" He asked and held up one of my usual school outfits.
"Uhm, why not?" I asked, I didn't get it. I was always dressed like that.
"Well, it's bad enough that you're wearing it at school, now that you actually have some free time to dress like a girl, I want you to use some of the dresses I've bought you." He said and grabbed some of them from the closet.

"But dad, you know, I always wear this kind of things." I said and looked down at the clothes I had found.

"Won't you wear this dresses just one time? For your daddy?" He asked with teary eyes. I sighed, but nodded.

"Okay then, but only this time, right?" I asked. He nodded energic and started replacing my clothes in the suitcase with all kind of dresses. I decided to go pack my bathroom bag, at least I didn't had to worry about the clothes anymore. Tomorrow would be the day we should leave, so it had been pretty late for packing. But I hadn't found any other time, so it was just how it was.

Tamaki's POV

"Are you ready for the trip tomorrow, Young Lord?" My waitress, Amine asked me. I turned away from the window, where I had been standing, looking out on the sun who was going down. Tomorrow we would leave.

"I am." I said and sent her a smile. Her cheeks immediately turned pink and she sent me a shy smile. It wasn't very strange at all. She was only 2 years older than me, so she could easily fall for my charm.
"Was there anything else?" I asked gently. I wouldn't seem rude, but I just needed to be alone with my thoughts for a little time.

"Uhm, no." She replied, before she backed out of my room and closed the doors after her. I sighed and threw myself at the bed. I had always been good with the girls, and could get whoever I wanted. There was just problem: There wasn't anyone I wanted. At least not now. Nobody had made my heart flutter in the way people describes it will when you're in love. I rolled over to my back and starred at the ceiling. I just had to wait for the right one, someday she would come.

Hikaru's POV

"So, tomorrow it is." I said with a smile and looked at my brother. He returned the smile.

"It is." He replied. I lay down on the bed and looked at him.

"I think it's going to be... Interesting." I said, thinking about how it would be with only him, Tamaki and of course Haruhi. Just the thought of her smile, made my own grow bigger and reveal the teeth.

"Indeed, my dear brother. Maybe you'll finally get the chance to tell Haruhi how you really feels." He said in a dreamy tune and sat down beside me. I stiffened.

"How did you...?" I stammered. He laughed at me.

"I'm your brother, for not to say your twin. I can tell it just by the way you look at her, or how you smile everytime you think of her." He pointed out. I sighed, and looked down.

"I'm sorry." I whispered. He grabbed gently around my chin and lifted my head so my eyes would meet his.

"Don't be. I'm just happy you're finally beginning to trust others." He said and smiled. I shyly returned the smile, and blushed. Even though it was kinda embarrassing, I was glad he knew how I felt now. The trip would be much more interesting now, much more than I had thought.

Part 3: The trip

Haruhi' POV

"Will you two promise me to take good care of my little Haruhi?" My dad asked the twins as he held them by their shoulders and completely managed to ignore Tamaki, who tried his best to seem like a trustful young man. If he just knew my dad, he had given up from the start.

"So, you do know we have to share rooms, two and two, right?" Kaorou suddenly asked me.

"WHAT?" My father exclaimed, and turned to Tamaki, who looked like he just wished to disappear. The twins looked like they could burst out laughing at any time, but of course they tried to hide it.

"I'm sorry sir, but everything was booked, and they only had two good rooms left, but don't worry, I've already arranged so Haruhi and I will share room, and..." He tried to calm down my father, but that only made it worse.
"WHAT? Do you think I will let Haruhi sleep in the same room as you?" My dad said, starring at a very frightened Tamaki, who seemed pretty small right now. He didn't said anything.

"I can accept the fact that you have to share rooms, but in that case, I want Haruhi to be with one of the twins." My father said, and if you knew him as much as I did, you knew he wouldn't change his mind. I didn't even tried to protest.

"I will personally take care of your daughter, and be sure that no one will interrupt her, while she's asleep." Hikaru assured my dad. He sighed, but then nodded, and looked the twin right in the eyes.

"I trust you young man. But you better take care of her, because else..."

"Of course I will sir, don't worry." He said, and my dad was finally satisfied.

"Well, then have a nice trip." He said, as he hugged me close, trying not to cry.

"I will Dad." I replied, and hugged him back. When he finally let go, I realized that the twins had taken my bag.

"Such wonderful young gentlemen." My dad said with teary eyes. I sighed and followed them to the limo which would take us all the way. It would be a couple of hours, I had to spent them with the twins, because Tamaki should help the driver in the front. Hurray. They got my suitcase in back, and then Hikaru held the door for me.

"You don't have to play this comedy anymore. He already loves the two of you." I whispered as I passed by him. He just sent me an innocent smile.

"I have no idea what you're talking about." He said as he climbed in and sat down beside me. When we were inside, he put his arm around my shoulder.

"This trip is going to be so much fun, don't you think roommate?" He asked playfully, and that was when I realized it. I was actually going to share room with Hikaru. Somebody, kill me, was my first thought. But then again, wasn't it better than to be with Tamaki? I would say so.

Part 4 – Arriving

The trip was actually okay, since the twins slept most of the way.

I was surprised when I looked out and saw the hotel.

"We are here. We are actually here." I whispered to myself. Hikaru slowly opened his eyes and lifted his head from my shoulder, where it had been resting.

"Does it looks good?" He asked, as he yawned and stretched his arms. I nodded. It did look good. It was a big building with many rooms, and around it there were a private area, only for the guests of the hotel. With own beach and tennis areas.

"Kaorou, Kaorou we are here." Hikaru said and gently shook his brother awake.

"Huh?" Kaorou yawned, and blinked a couple of times, completely disorientated. Then the door was opened, and Tamaki's head came in.

"Are you gonna come out, or what?" He asked grumpily, guess he had been woken up from sleep too.

"Relax Boss, we're coming now." Kaorou yawned again, and the got out. We followed him, and went to the back of the car to get our things.

"So, I guess you two will share room and I'll take Haruhi?" Tamaki said as we took the suitcases.

"No way. Her dad said that she should share with Hkaru, so that's what she will do. You'll have me instead." Kaorou said and winked. Tamaki looked like he was about to faint.

"Shall we get in?" I suggested. Hikaru nodded, and helped me with my things, again.

"Thanks." I said, as he carried them to the entrance, where they were taken by piccolos.

"No problem." He replied with a smile. Behind us were Kaorou and Tamaki still discussing whether Tamaki was lucky or not to share room with Kaorou.

"Should you check us in?" I asked Tamaki who was just about to say something back to his roommate.

"Huh? Oh, yes, of course." He said as he turned his back against Kaorou and walked over to the reception to get the keys.

He was quickly back to us.

"So, I have bad news..." He said and sighed.

"What?" We asked in union.

"There's only double beds in the room." He cried. All of us gasped.

"But they do have sofas too, right?" I asked him. He nodded slowly.

"No problem then, I'll just take the sofa for us, then you can get the bed." I said to Hikaru with a smile. He shook his head.

"No way, you're the girl, you'll have the bed." He replied. I sighed, sometimes it was much easier just to be taken as a guy.

"So, shall we get our stuff packed out?" I asked the others, who nodded.

"Here's your key." Tamaki said, as he, absolutely not happy about it, gave it to me. 323.

"Okay, come Hikaru, let's go find our room." I suggested. He nodded, and followed me to the elevator. The other guys had room number 276, so it was a floor lower than ours. It didn't really matter to me.

"How did they know where we should be?" I gasped, after opening the door to our room and finding all our things in there. Hikaru shrugged.
"No idea." He replied and walked in. I closed the door behind us, and started to explore the room.

It was big, and luxury funitured. Even though the bed seemed like a fine place to sleep, I must admit that the bed was very, very attractive in my mind. We had our own television, and a bathroom with toilet and a bathtub. Seemed like I was already enjoying it.

"Should we pack out now, or?" I asked my roommate, who completely opposite of me didn't seemed very impressed. Guess he was used to it.

Hikaru shrugged. He then stretched his body, and yawned.

"I don't know 'bout you, but I'm still not fully awake." He said, and sent me a tired smile. That was when I noticed how strange it felt, it was one of the first times for me, being alone with him. I shyly returned the smile, trying not to blush.

"It's not that bad, but if you're tired, just feel free to take a nap." I said, as I started to unpack my stuff. He nodded, and headed for the sofa.

"Just take the bed, it doesn't matter right now anyways." I said, before he lay down. He shrugged again, and then lay down on the bed instead. When I looked at him again, not much more than 5 minutes later, he was already asleep. I was almost finished unpacking, and it seemed kinda relaxing. My body felt a bit drowsy, and my eyes were getting heavier. I looked at the clock. 15:20. Still time enough for a short nap.

It didn't took me long to decide. Without really thinking about it, I dropped myself on the bed beside Hikaru. I looked at him as he was sleeping. He looked peaceful, and sweet, not like the devilish, annoying boy he really was. I smiled to myself, before I slowly drifted off to sleep.

Part 5 – The first night in Tokyo

Haruhi's POV.

"So, Haruhi, what do you think of the city?" Tamaki asked me, as we were all walking down the streets. It was so big, full of people and neon lights, and shops and much more.

"Yeah Haruhi, what do you think?" The twins asked, as they moved closer on each side of me. I quickly changed my tempo, so I could get out of their reach before I had to answer.

"It's big." I replied in the end. I didn't knew what to say. I felt kinda weird, I was wearing one of the dresses my father had packed. When Tamaki, after about ½ hour, finally had finished crying over how cute I was looking, we had headed for the city to find a place to eat. In the beginning I felt bad for letting Tamaki pay, but the food were so delicious that I quickly forgot all about it. Now we were on our way back to the hotel, we were all pretty exhausted after the trip, even though the twins didn't seemed like.

"You don't like it?" Tamaki asked horrified, and looked at me with his puppy eyes. I sighed, and refused to look at his face.

"I never said that. It's also a pretty city." I said, and of course he was already over me, wrapping his arms around my body, while he was blabbing about how cute I was. I couldn't wait till we got back to the hotel.

When we did, we split up in our "groups" and wished each other goodnight. The twins were not as "gay-ish" when there wasn't audience. Now they were... Well, like normal brothers, just closer than most.

There was silence between me and my roommate all the way upstairs. I found my PJ's, and captured the bathroom, so I could have a quick shower. Afterwards I dried my hair, which was pretty easy because of it's short length. I got dressed, and then walked out again. Hikaru was lying in front of the television, watching some weird talk-show.

"So, what do you wanna do?" He asked without removing his eyes from the screen. I shrugged, and sat down beside his legs, the only place I could sit.

"I don't know. I'm not special tired anymore." I replied. He nodded to show he was listening, still not looking at me, while he zapped through the programs. Finally he turned the TV off, and rolled so he was lying on his back, and I almost was pushed of the couch.

"There's nothing worth watching in the television." He complained, and I shrugged. He was right.

"What should we do then?" I asked him. He looked at me, and again I got this strange feeling of being alone with him, and I had to look down, so he wouldn't notice that I was blushing. What was this about?

"I don't know." He sighed. I felt relieved, at least he hadn't noticed anything. I rushed through my brain, but found no ideas.

"Maybe we should just go to bed." I suggested, and he nodded slowly. After a little while with just silence, I stood up and picked up my duvet from the bed.

"Are you gonna move over to the bed?" I asked him, planning to sleep where he was lying. He looked at me, like if I was stupid.

"I already told you that you're the one to sleep there." He said, like it was obvious. I sighed.

"I can't let you sleep there, you know senpai." I told him. He turned his head, and looked me into the eyes. He raised a brow.

"Why not?"

"Because you're not used to sleep like that. I am." I explained, but he shook his head.

"You just gave me another reason to give you the bed. This is a vacation for you, time for you to relax." He said stubbornly. I moaned, knowing he wouldn't give up. I liked him much better when he was asleep...

"Then we're going to share the bed again. I'm not letting you sleep on the coach." I finally decided. He looked at me, suspicious.

"Are you sure you don't mind that?" He said, with a sly smile. I felt goosebumps, but I ignorred them, and nodded.
"Fine." He then said, and we walked over to the bed.

We both got down on the bed, with out duvets over us. None of us said anything, and I was just starring at the ceiling. When I, randomly, turned my head to look at him, I noticed he was starring at me. He blushed, and so did I, and we immediately looked different directions. Now what the heck was up with that?
