DE TOMBER AMOUREUX (fall in Love)

CHAPTER ONE: MA PARAMOUR (my lover)

He walked solemnly through the fifteenth terrace; rapidly running out of ideas for his mother's birthday gift. He was attracting looks from women and girls as he toiled but he wasn't paying attention to any of it. His mother was dear to him because she and his tutor were all that he had left in moral fibre and that meant that her birthday present had to be super special. He wasn't watching where he was going and bumped into a girl that was coming from the local bakery.

He knocked her onto the ground but as soon as he realized he gave her the most appeasing look that he could to compensate for his clumsiness. "I'm very sorry whoever you are; I was only looking for a present for my mother. I'd be happy to buy more bread for you if that would make it up." As he was pulling her up from the painful cobblestone street he noticed that she didn't seem exactly French because she spoke French with a Japanese accent.

"That's okay," she commented as she glanced at his glowing violet eyes that took her by surprise. She had also taken him by surprise with her good looks; in other words her adorable face.

He began to dance circles around her which made her even more puzzled as to why this person that she had just met was reacting the way that old friends would. "Let's go eat together; I know this fantastic place!" he exclaimed too enthusiastically.

"I don't think so; tomorrow I am returning to Japan and I was only enjoying my last few days of exchange here." She informed him.

He placed his fingers on his chin thoughtfully thinking that it would help with his plan to please a pretty girl, "I think that whatever school I'll be able to handle. What school are you 'student-exchanging' from?" He questioned her as she contemplated whether to tell her. Haruhi thought that he would be intimidated by the school that she attended because it was so prestigious. She had only gotten to Ouran High School on a scholarship but she thought that she was still a member of the student body.

"I'm Haruhi Fujioka and I attend Ouran High School in Japan." He paused for a moment to pace around her; he recognized her as the girl that Kyouya had informed was staying in France for a while when she was exchanging. His father was the Headmaster of the school and that was also how he knew it; he was going to live with his father in the near future. Tamaki didn't know when he was going to see his mother again but then he knew that it was for the best because he was helping her.

He clapped his hands together in enjoyment and anticipation, "I'm so happy because we are going to go to the same school in the next month! Haruhi Fujioka; I'll make your last days in France the happiest of your life but first you must help me find a gift for my mother." She smiled and happily strolled through the terraces with him; although there was still one thing that she still wanted to know; his name.

"What is your name?" She questioned stressing an adorable expression on her face.

He began to laugh, "I'm sure that you will feel the same way when you hear my name. It's Tamaki Suou; I'm the illegitimate son of the Headmaster of Ouran High School; that's why I told you that I was attending Ouran in the next month." She began laughing with him also; it was true that she hadn't enjoyed herself this much after her mother had died.

There was responsibility that followed the death of her mother; it made her want to be like her; it made Haruhi want to be a lawyer. That was why she had entered Ouran High School and that was why she had taken the opportunity to be an exchange student in Japan. As they were walking she thought that Tamaki was very similar to his father; they were both kind-hearted and had careful looks. There was something that made her feel strange though because she was walking with the Headmaster's son in the most romantic city on the planet and they weren't a couple.

"Have you been to the Eiffel Tower Haruhi Fujioka?" He questioned abruptly; interrupting her thoughts. She shook her head innocently and incidentally causing Tamaki to react more obnoxious around her. "We will go there tonight! Since there are a couple more days until the next term begins I would like you to spend your last days with me and my mother at our house." He ordered her to pack her belongings from the family that she was staying with and come to his house when she was ready. He glanced at the dreary night sky and commented, "You have to be quick though because I don't want you walking in the rain. Here's a map and come by six o'clock."

He kissed her on the cheek absent-mindedly and handed her the map before realizing what he had done. Tamaki strolled through the rest of the streets and terraces to his house floating on air before realizing that he hadn't thought of a gift to give to his mother.

As he opened the door cautiously to his house he noticed that there were boxes everywhere and there was absolutely no furniture. "Mother, what is the meaning of this?" He questioned; calling out loudly for her.

She rushed to him but instead of speaking she started coughing heavily, "Tamaki...I think that I am getting worse so the housekeepers and the maids are going to take care of you before you leave for Japan." He hugged her tightly.

"There is one last thing though; mother. I would like to introduce you to someone that is very special to me; she will be coming by our house at six o'clock and I would like for you to meet her. Her name is Haruhi Fujioka and she is an exchange student from Ouran."

She smiled at her son, "I'm happy that you have found someone that made you smile yourself."

Haruhi was rushing to pack as she glanced at the clock in her room and found that it was already five-thirty pm; she was going to be late for their meeting. For some reason the person that she had met wasn't like the other boys back home that would ask her out; he was more chivalrous and caring. She had already told the family that she had been staying with that she was staying with Tamaki Suou for the rest of her time in France and was shocked that they were shocked at the name Suou.

She quickened her steps as she cradled her luggage and glanced at her watch at the same time. Haruhi had finally gotten to his house then she remembered where else she had heard the name; there was a host club at Ouran High School and he was supposed to be the new recruit for their club. She was determined that there wouldn't be any 'funny stuff' but just in case she also packed pepper spray.

When she finally had gotten to Tamaki's house she was surprised by how large and extravagant the exterior was and was expecting the interior to be the same. He opened the door and waited for her to walk in first before he walked in, "what's happening?" she questioned as she glanced to the stacked boxes.

"Well, my mother's moving. Don't worry though Haruhi; I'm going to take care of you- along with the housekeepers and servants that we have. I'll show you to your room." The room that she was staying in was even larger than the family that she had been staying with one's. He allowed her to unpack while he tended to his mother.

"When are you leaving?"

"I'm leaving tonight."

"I'll miss you mother and don't worry; I'm going to do my best at Ouran High School."

"I know Tamaki." She hugged him tightly before departing with supplied bodyguards into a dark tinted car. He almost cried as he ventured back into the house to tell Haruhi to be ready in a couple of minutes.

As he was waiting he watched more Japanese television hoping that he would learn something from her culture that would help their conversation. At least he could speak fluent Japanese; it was something that they had in common... As he was watching though he realized something; that he really liked his girl that he was going to the Eiffel Tower with and he realized that the Eiffel Tower wasn't really a place that was suitable to the first date. He was determined to impress her though and informed the housekeeper to take the best of care with Haruhi because she was someone that he thought special to him.

The Eiffel Tower was a monument where people would confess their love to another or maybe they would reignite it but he hadn't it expected it to be a monument to a first date for him. Tamaki had only just met Haruhi but he already felt that there was something special about her that he knew that he would cherish. He held out a chair for her and sat down before staring at her as she contemplated what she was going to eat. Her eyes were sparkling when she was reading the menu which he thought made her a lot cuter. He interrupted her, "I like you a lot Haruhi and I would like you to accompany me when I go to Japan on the same jet."

She stared at him as though he was joking that he had a private jet, "what do you mean. I'll be fine on a normal plane; besides; I think that my plane ticket has already been organized."

"I know that but I think that it would be safer for you if you would come with me on my plane and I would enjoy your company if you were with me. I would like you to become ma paramour." She quickly glanced at the French-Japanese dictionary that she carried with her and then looked at him in disbelief.

"I don't think that my father would like that; I don't think that he's ready for me to have that kind of person either." He caressed her cheek and kissed her on the lips; normally he wouldn't kiss her on the first date but then Haruhi was an exception because she was someone that he thought of special. It was her first kiss and she hadn't been expecting it but somehow she thought that he was the right person that she should share it with.

They spent another month together before they boarded Tamaki's private jet her hand in his and they knew almost everything about each other. Once they were getting to Japan Haruhi had planned for Tamaki to meet her father; she was hoping to get his approval before they got any more serious. He accompanied her in the private car to her apartment and as he invited her to come in he was getting more nervous of what was coming. "I'm sorry but my father isn't home yet; won't you stay for dinner Tamaki?" She questioned as she offered him a seat.

As she was preparing dinner she noticed that her father was coming home from work and went to open the door for him. Tamaki turned his head in anticipation of Haruhi's father and fainted the moment that the door was opened; he hadn't expected that her father was 'flamboyant'. Her father looked back and forth between him and Haruhi a couple of times before realizing their relationship. "What are you doing with such a lout?" He exclaimed as he put his handbag in his room and returned to see what she was cooking.

Haruhi sat her father down carefully to explain everything, "I had met him when I was an exchange student in France; he's here because he's going to enter Ouran High School also. He helped me up when I bumped into him and I thought that he was nice so I went on a date with him. I hope that you don't mind dad."

He stared at her with wide eyes as though she was joking, "I'm not sure that I can accept someone like this Haruhi...I thought that you would always be daddy's-little-girl and I thought that you said that you wouldn't be dating anyone until you finished university."

"Just get to know him first dad." She returned to the kitchen while her father was prodding Tamaki with a stick trying to wake him up. "Yoo-hoo, it's time to wake up!" He was running out of ideas so he started to kick him instead before Tamaki finally woke up before fainting again. 'This is fun,' thought her father while he started poking Tamaki with a stick again while Haruhi was serving the dinner.

"Isn't he awake yet?" her father shook his head.

She crawled to him and kissed him on the cheek, 'the ugly frog turning into a prince...' she thought jokingly as she kissed him. Finally he retained consciousness as Haruhi explained the situation with her father, "he does this for a living."

As she was eating she noticed that they were giving death stares to each other; she thought that it was funny that the only two men that were close to each other in their lives were getting defensive over her. With no more problems she went to sleep and told her father that he could talk to Tamaki before letting him get home.
