Takashi Morinozuka knew what his role was in the Ouran High School Host Club, it was to be the strong, silent type and to keep an eye on and protect Mitsukuni this was his role in The Ouran High School Host Club and he accepted it.

But deep down nobody else in the club knew what Mori was feeling and thinking, he would hide his thoughts from them not wanting to show weakness to any of them especially the one club member he liked most Haruhi Fujioka who had been a club member for a while now. Mori had first off only thought of Haruhi as a friend and fellow club member not as anything else but recently certain things had happened that made him look at her in a different way then what he used to, and he saw someone who was kind, caring, and acknowledged him and wanted to know what he was thinking about and what he was feeling.

It was the end of another day at the host club and as the group was tidying away their things, haruhi had gone to get changed into her normal clothes ready to make her way home. Haruhi turned to say goodbye to everyone and then headed out the door, Mori saw that she had left her bag behind and went over, bent down and picked it up he was just about to run out the door to catch up with her to give it back when he stopped and looked at the bag and looked at where Haruhi had once stood then decided to take the bag home with him and bring it back to her in the morning.

Mori and Mitsukuni walked home together like they did most days but on this particular day Mori was thinking about Haruhi and the way he was feeling, he had never felt like this before he felt warm, his heart was going thump, thump as took each step down the street, what was going on he was not supposed to be feeling like this he was supposed to be strong be the one people could depend on to protect them and to be a tower of strength not to have romantic thoughts about kissing a fellow club member.
