Theirs was a strange relationship.
To any outsider, it was as simple as Mum, Dad and Child. A family.
To their friends, it was as easy as Mori-likes-Haruhi-and-she-likes-him. Hunny is their friend. They love each other.
To them, it wasn't simple, not at all. Takashi loves Haruhi. Takashi loves Hunny, but not in the same way. Hunny likes Takashi and Haruhi and cakes and plush toys, but he loves Takashi and Haruhi best. Haruhi loves Takashi, but she also loves Hunny. Most of the time, Takashi protected them, Haruhi grounded them and Hunny loved them. But sometimes, Haruhi's innocence could rival Hunny's. Sometimes, Hunny would protect them better than Takashi could. And sometimes Takashi could be charming and gentlemanly and more loving than Haruhi ever was.
Oh, it was complicated all right. But it worked for them, and that was what was important.
It was as simple as Takashi, Haruhi and Hunny. A family.

Note to my long-time readers: I'm not coming out of my self enforced isolation yet. Exams are still on, and I just can't find the time to write much. Sorry, you're just going to have to wair for more on Of Fire and Ice.
Everyone else, go read my other fics!
You'll enjoy them, I promise ;)
