This
love is silent.

S. Eliot
He couldn't help but smile as he watched her brush another stray tendril from her eyes, now that she had started at Ouran University she had finally been convinced to grow her hair out. He loved its current stage especially when she pulled it up into a loose bun with her pencil, stray pieces falling out due to their shortness. Placing her highlighter end to her lips she clicked it lightly against her white teeth, and paused rolling her stiff neck before peeking her eyes out over her black oval shaped glasses. He beamed at her as he glanced into her chocolate brown depths, every time he glanced into them he felt utterly lost. She sighed and pulled the cap off the end of her highlighter and closed it. Placed it in her textbook to keep her place ignoring the case study entirely as she kept her eyes locked on him, he echoed her movements without a thought and pushed his own textbooks away. He watched her eyes darken sensually as she crawled along their living room floor clad in nothing but one of his old sweatshirts and a pair of loose pajama pants. He couldn't help but feel all moisture leave his mouth when she looked at him like that. Her eyes were so expressive so intoxicating even when they were in the host club he couldn't help but be drawn to her beautiful eyes.
"Takashi." She called his name falling from her lips caressingly, leaving him entranced with the curl of her tongue, glancing at the night sky from their apartment windows briefly.
"Ah." He answered feeling more speechless that his usual silence.
"My brain is mush; we've been studying for hours it's seven at night already." She crawled into his lap playfully brushing her lips against his own.
This playfulness was a side of Haruhi that only he saw and if it weren't for their three year relationship he would never believe Haruhi had this side, he gave her a knowing smile he liked these rare moments when she would purposely be seductive. As the years had gone by Haruhi had become more aware of herself and her actions, which when Mori had found her again after his year studying abroad with Mitsukuni, he felt was a very dangerous combination since she was already excruciatingly intelligent.
His eyes locked on her own remembering clearly the moment he glanced into her eyes through those ridiculously thick glasses she used to wear, it took everything in him to keep the emotions clear from his face. When their relationship was out in the open her designations had increased amazing believing that they had a yaoi relationship after being caught making out under an elm in the Ouran high school gardens. She had cunningly used it to her advantage to pay off her dept something he found to be artfully shrewdness on her part.
Her tongue brushed against his lips begging for entrance which he answered pulling her into a drugging kiss. She twined her arms around his neck her fingers caressing his neck encouragingly. He waited for her to close her eyes before surrendering entirely to their kiss, trying to avoid the sadness that lurched into him reminding him that he had one month before she went to begin a year at Oxford University something that they had discussed at great length.
It was no secret that Haruhi was being sized up by two rather important men, she played oblivious putting on a rather well versed act but Takashi knew she was very keen on observation. Yuzuru Souh and the elder Ootori head made it quite clear they intended to sculpt Haruhi into the perfect bridal candidate for their sons. Only one thing or should we say person stood in their way, Takashi himself. At first they didn't seem concerned at the evolving relationship between the two after all there was a two year age gap and Takashi had bound himself to serve his cousin Mitsukuni Haninozuka. It had only become an issue as the years went by and still there was no separation between the two, it escalated when news had come to everyone that Takashi and Haruhi would be moving in together. Takashi and Haruhi were quite aware that this scholarship from Ootori Industries was a clear move to separate the couple who had now lived together for a year. While chairman Souh offered her a place to stay in England coincidently in the same mansion his son resided in. He was not yet aware that Tamaki Souh was quite smitten with someone else getting over his school boy crush on Haruhi. She told Takashi she intended to refuse the offer and her eyes widened in shock when he told her that she would be stupid to not take this opportunity. He knew that this would be an opportunity of a lifetime, he was proud of her self-made image she was so strong and studying abroad would help her.
"I feel confident that you will come back to me." He had responded to her helping her make up her mind to accept.
When she took the offer Kyoya Ootori made no move to hold his feelings at bay. He tried to make it seem purely professional but Takashi could see the hope fill the guarded man's eyes. To the trained eye of Takashi he knew Kyoya was very much in love with her not to mention that she was now the only way for a clear shot to the head of Ootori Industries. He had not been so bold as to try to separate the two with his manipulations he seemed to believe it would be better to let well enough alone.
"He wont win." Takashi remembered the knowing voice of his cousin and best friend.
"Ah." Takashi had answered vaguely in return.
He broke off the kiss gazing into her perfect brown eyes that were glazed over with hunger. Yes Kyoya Ootori would not win and Takashi Morinozuka had one month to make sure. He smiled at her squeal as he picked her up carrying her over his shoulder like a sack of flour and carted her off to their bedroom this night would be the beginning of creating a memory that would stay with Haruhi for a year.
