Chapter One
She sat staring moodily out of the window, not really seeing anything but the dark moving clouds.
She was suppose to be entertaining 2 customers, but she just couldn't bring herself to even look like she cared; she couldn't understand this dark mood she was in.
Yesterday she had realized that it particularly affected her when Hunny and Mori-senpei were near.
Glancing around, she saw that everybody was doing that which they usually did.
Tamaki was acting the love-sick prince, the Hitachin twins their brotherly act, Kyouya in the middle of the room taking notes on who knows what.
And then of course Hunny climbing all over Mori-senpei while eating chocolate cake.
As the girls got up to leave, so did she.
"Where are you going Haruhi? Your next customers are here."
Kyouya stood looking at her while tapping his foot. The rich bastard was just making sure she remembered that she had a debt to pay. She didn't understand Kyouya-senpei. At times he could be considerate, but the rest of the time he was sneaky and calculating.
Hunny ran up to her and jumped up to get a hug and when she didn't respond, he leaned back , looked at her face and asked,
"What's wrong Haru-chan? You haven't been yourself today. Right, Takashi?"
Mori-senpei nodded his head and reached out to take Hunny.
In doing so his fingers brushed her arms and it felt like lightning running through her body. She took an involuntary step back, looked Mori-senpei in the eyes, turned and ran. The twins caught her before she could reach the door. One had her arm and one had an arm around her waist.
"Haruhi, are you ok?"
She shook her head and pulled herself free, shouting,
"For once just leave me alone."
She saw the hurt expression on their faces and nearly turned back, but then she saw Mori-senpei with Hunny on his neck.
Out the door, down the corridor, out the main doors and into the garden.
She kept on running. When she finally stopped, she was in front of her and Tamaki's Pavilion in the maze. She collapsed on the bench.
"Why? Why? Why?"
All she could think about was Mori-senpei's fingers on her arms and then Hunny on his neck. She was feeling on fire the one moment and then angry, hurt and …jealous. It finally dawned on her.
She was in Love with Mori-senpei.
Seeing Hunny on his neck, in his arms, around him all the time, being taken care of by him had made her jealous. A jealousy that had been building steadily till it made her snap today.
It wasn't the she didn't like Hunny; it was just that she wanted to be in his place.
Ever since the incident at the Ootori Tropical Resort. But Mori-senpei hadn't shown any extra or increased interest in her.
Suddenly she felt something wet on her cheeks. Lifting her hands to her face she realized that she was crying. She couldn't believe it. She never cried. She never got this emotional. But then again she had never been in love before.
She suddenly heard footsteps on the gravel and tried in vein to wipe her face clean. Tamaki-senpei's head popped around the hedge.
"Ah! There you are!"
When he saw her tear stained face his smile vanished to be replaced by a frown of worry and concern. He moved around the table to sit next to her.
"Haruhi?"
When she saw his face she started crying again and threw herself into his arms. She couldn't stop herself. She knew that Tamaki-senpei like her but she saw him only as a friend and father figure, as strange as it sounded. She just needed someone to hold her now. Thankfully he said nothing, simply holding her, cradling her against him like a child. He didn't know what else to do. While he always complained she was not lady like enough, he had never in a million years expected to see her cry.
Looking at Kyouya, who had come with him, he shrugged his shoulders and continued to rock her.
Kyouya had a puzzled expression on his face. Thinking back he tried to analyze what had happened. He couldn't think of a single event that would have created this reaction. Not even after those guys at the beach attacked her or he had thrown her on the bed had it caused anything like this. Then he remembered the look on her face when Mori-senpei took Hunny from her. Maybe something had happened between them. But he found that highly unlikely.
By now Haruhi had stopped crying and had fallen asleep in Tamaki's arms. He saw the tender expression on Tamaki's face as he looked at Haruhi in his arms. He was aware of his friend's feelings for the boyish-girl, even if Tamaki hadn't realized it himself. They walked back to the music room and laid her on the coach. The others had obviously left already, or so they thought. As Kyouya turned around to call Haruhi's father he saw the twins poke their heads in through the door. He pointed to the coach as he dialed.
The twins moved to the coach. Seeing their worried expressions Tamaki got up to give them space. Both Hikaru and Kaoru's hands reached out to wipe away the stray tears that had leaked out of Haruhi's sleepy eyes.
Her words had hurt them but this face of hers hurt even more. These tears were proof that Haruhi's heart was crying and that they couldn't do anything about. Hikaru turned to Tamaki and asked him what had happened. They both listened quietly until Tamaki was done and then turned back to Haruhi's sleeping form.
They each took one of her hands, determined to give her all the support they could.
In the dojo Hunny was fighting against Mori-senpei. They were going all out, both breathing hard. Suddenly Hunny jumped and landed a solid blow against Takashi, sending him flying into the wall.
"What's wrong Takashi?"
Gone was the teddy bear cutie, instead a serious senior.
Mori-senpei sat up and looked at his hands. When he had touched Haruhi he had also felt that lightning blast. He knew she had felt it too.
He was definitely attracted to her but he didn't know what to do when she turned and ran from him. How was he supposed to tell Hunny about these feelings? He was supposed to serve Hunny. Hunny was his life, his future. He didn't have place for anything else. That is why he had never allowed himself to get close to any girl. And besides Tamaki, as well as the twins, wanted her for themselves. There was just no way that there would ever be anything between them.
Before getting up he made his face as expressionless as ever.
Hunny was not fooled by Takashi's seemingly expressionless face. He could see everything in his best friend's eyes. It was his one weakness, is eyes betrayed everything. Not many people could read those eyes though.
But he had seen the surprised expression on Takashi and Haruhi's faces as well as felt the tensing of muscles when they were in the music room.
He had also seen the pained look in Takashi's eyes when Haruhi ran from them. It was the same expression that was in his eyes now.
He knew trying to talk to Takashi about it would be useless, he never said anything about how he felt, but Hunny had seen the signs. He knew what was going on in Takashi's head. He was truly and thoroughly in love with Haruhi, but his sense of duty to Hunny, Tamaki and the twins made him hide how he felt. But his actions and eyes had betrayed him to Hunny.
There was the Ootori Resort where he had carried Haruhi, when he saved had saved her from Tamaki, his always opening doors for her and the observations of the things she liked and didn't (Fatty tuna, Strawberries).
He knew all these things but he didn't know what to do with the information.
As he and Takashi started to train again he thought he needed to talk to Kyouya.
