Just cuz I gotta…I don't own OHSHC nor do I own Advil. I'm very sorry for the short first chapter...the rest are all longer!


Haruhi dropped the base guitar on the floor with a loud thud and glared at the beautiful boys surrounding her.

"I give up! I can't learn this stupid thing!" she yelled out of frustration, "I'm not a singer, or a musician! I give up…get someone else to do it!" She started to storm off when the host club king, Tamaki, yelled after her.

"You have to!" he whined, "it's the annual charity ball! Every club in the school puts on a skit! Our skit is to perform this song!"

She looked over her shoulder and glared at Tamaki and then back at the base guitar she had left lying near Hikaru's feet. "No." she muttered flatly, turning on her heels. She walked by Kyoya who stood by the doorway and stopped abruptly when she heard him clear his throat.

"We'll have to hire a base player and a singer to replace you, I'll have to add that to your debt…" he cleared his throat again, "that's another hmmm, 30,000 yen added…plus fees…not to mention you won't get half taken off without…"

"Ok ok" she cut him off and walked back to the abandoned base, dragging her feet and grumbling under her breath.

"Yay Haru-chan!" Huni cried from Mori's shoulders where the two boys sat behind the drums. She smiled weakly and turned around coming face to face with the twins who were grinning ear to ear.

"What is with you two!" she almost screamed making them hesitate on whether they should push her any farther…just an inch.

"Say Haruhi…" Kaoru started pushing up on one side of her, "would you wanna…" Hikaru added pushing up on the other side.

Haruhi cut them off quickly "if you don't get off me right this second I swear I will quit the host club right now!" she cried as everyone suddenly became very silent.

"Sorry" the twins muttered lowering their heads and staring at the ground moving slowly back to their spots.

"Sorry" she muttered when she suddenly took note of everyone's reaction. "Does anyone have any Advil…oh just forget it, let just do this, it's 7 o'clock and I want to go home."


They practiced late into the night, both her and Hikaru's voice somewhat sore from all the singing. "I still can't play that god forsaken instrument" she mumbled as she gathered her things together to leave.

"Don't worry Haruhi!" the twins spoke in unison taking their place on either side of her. "We'll see if we can get Kyoya to take the base" said Kaoru, "yeah we wouldn't want the event ruined because of your poor playing." Hikaru added.

"Thanks" she responded sarcastically as her shoulders dropped, practically wilting under the two.

Hikaru suddenly grinned and threw his arm around her "we're only playing Haru-chan" he pulled her body close to his and leaned in close to her ear, "now, can I take you home?" She opened her mouth to respond when she was cut off by a loud panic stricken voice.

"I won't let my daughter go home in the dark with you two!" Tamaki pushed the twins away and pulled Haruhi close to him. The twins looked at each other and only grumbled while heading out the door, an amused looking Kyoya following close behind. "Come Haruhi!" Tamaki stated dashingly while guiding her out the door.

"Haarrruuu-chan!" Huni cried running up to her usa-chan flopping along in tow.

"You almost forgot your hat." Mori stated simply walking up behind the shortest club member. Mori handed her a small fashionable cap as she grinned at the two.

"Thank you sempais" she answered as she let go of Tamaki's arm and walked over to the mirror.

"You look so beautiful with long hair" Tamaki beamed, looking lovingly at her.

"You do! Your so pretty Haru-chan!" Huni chimed in while Mori gave a small agreeing nod.

"Thanks. I'm almost glad it's back too…" she ran her fingers through her long straight hair before rolling it up, sticking some pins in it, and putting the cap safely on her head.


The two drove toward her house in silence, tired from the day. "Haruhi?" Tamaki suddenly asked breaking the silence.

"Mmm?" she answered lazily, keeping her eyes closed.

"Don't you think you should cut your hair?"

She opened her eyes and looked questioningly at him, "…but you just said…"

"I know, and daddy thinks you do look beautiful, but you seem to be…" he turned a bright shade of red, "growing up a bit, and, well, you can really only wear so many hats."

"I don't mind if people find out I'm a girl…you know that," she sighed putting her head back, "besides if everyone thinks I'm a boy I can never date."

Tamaki practically jumped at this statement and almost lurched himself at her, "DATE?!" he choked; she saw her house and grabbed her backpack. "D..D..Date.." he repeated as she crawled over him and suddenly sat face to face with him, "yes. Date." she responded opening the door, slowly crawling out, and slamming the door behind her.

"Thanks Tamaki Sempai!" she called as the limo pulled away.

He hung out the back window calling after her "Wait! Date! Who?!" She just smiled and waived until he was out of sight.

She turned around and trudged up the steps to her apartment giggling all the way. Well that was something fun for him to ponder over. She dumped her bag and walked into her room, shutting the door behind her. "Date huh?" she muttered to herself as she pulled off the hat letting her hair fall over her shoulders. She slipped into her nightgown and crawled into bed that night suddenly aware of how much happier she would be if she were free to be with the one host club member who's face still lingered in her mind.


Let me know if you like it. It's quite late so I'm sure the editing is not up to par but this was something I was tinkering with awhile ago and just recently found so…let me know! Thanks!
