I sighed as I walked out onto the terrace and leaned on the barricade. I put my hand up to my eye. It was the end of the year party at my house. I was waiting for Haruhi's answer to my confession I gave her at the ski resort.

"I can't believe I'm doing this." I whispered. "She's going to reject me...because she loves Tono…"

I put my hand down and looked down in sorrow. Even Though she didn't reject me yet, I could already feel the tears burning in my eyes.

"I'm an idiot…" I whispered.

"Hikaru?"

I looked up and turned around to see Haruhi. I quickly plastered on a fake smile.

"Haruhi, so what do you think? Are you having fun?" I asked.

""Y-Yah." She replied.

I rubbed the back of my neck. "Hmm." I put my arm down and gave her a wider smile. "I feel like I don't want to hear this, but I'll do it, your answer from bef…"

"Hikaru, I'll go out with you." She interrupted.

I just stood there in utter shock. D-Did she just say she would go out with me?

"What..?" I asked. "Did you just say..?"

"Yes, I'll go out with you." She put her head down to hide her blush. "I would like to try."

I just stared at her for a bit longer. Then a bright smile appeared on my face. "Y-You really mean that? You'll go out with me?"

Haruhi looked up at me, her blush still on her face. "Yes, I would like try it."

My smile grew and I went up and hugged her. "Thank you Haruhi. Thank you so much."

Haruhi hugged me back. I held her for a bit longer, taking in her sent. I let go of her and kept my hands on her shoulders.

My smile grew. "Come on. Kaoru will be excited about the news." I looked down. "To be honest. We all thought that you were in love with Tono."

Haruhi blushed immensely. "Wh-Why would you think that?"

I started to get a bad feeling deep down in my stomach. "Because, of how you've been acting around him lately. You couldn't talk to him without blushing and stuttering. And when Kyouya came back from France, you would run away from him."

"Th-That was just because he was being annoying. I didn't want to deal with him." She put a bent finger to chin. "But I do respect him."

"Ok…"

We just stood there in awkward silence for a bit. I then smiled again.

I grabbed her hand. "Come on, let's go tell everybody the great news."

I tugged Haruhi into the house and down the stairs. I found Kaoru talking to Mei and I ran over to him.

"Kaoru!" I yelled excited. "Kaoru!"

He looked over at me as I ran up to him. I put my hands on his shoulders. He noticed my bright smile.

"You're smiling. Does that mean..?"

I nodded. "Yes, she said yes."

"She said yes?"

"She said yes!"

Kaoru smiled and hugged me. "Oh my God Hikaru. I'm so happy for you."

Mei looked at us in shock as we separated. She then looked over at Haruhi.

"Haruhi, may I have a word with you?"

Before Haruhi could say anything, Mei grabbed her arm and dragged her to the side.

"Haruhi!" Mei hissed. "What was that about? I thought I told you giving an answer because of sympathy or guilt is so much more rude."

"But I gave him an honest answer. I would like to go out with him."

Mei gave her a look. "I know you don't like him like that. So why did you really accept his feelings?"

Haruhi sighed. "Alright, I don't like him like that. I accepted his feelings because...I wanted to get someone's attention."

Mei sighed and crossed her arms. "It's Tamaki, isn't it?"

Haruhi looked at the ground, rubbing her arm. She nodded.

"Yes...I'm doing this to get Tamaki-senpai's attention."

Mei looked over at Kaoru and me, she saw how happy I was. Her expression turned sad, she looked back over at Haruhi.

"You're doing a terrible thing you know. Just look how happy he is. He's going to find out that you're using him, and when he does he's going to be mad. Or even worse broken."

"Don't tell him please."

Mei glared at her. "I'm not going to tell him. Cause unlike you." She started walking back to the group. "I don't betray my friends."

Haruhi sighed and rubbed her arm again. Guilt started rushing over her.

"Hey Haruhi." Tamaki called out to her.

She jumped and blushed at the sound of his voice. She turned around to face him as he walked up to her.

"H-Hi Tamaki-senpai." Haruhi stuttered.

"Are you alright, your face is all red for some reason. Are you still sick?"

"U-Uh yah. I'm almost through it though, so I'm fine."

Tamaki gave her a charming smile, which made her blush even more.

"Well I'm glad to hear that. By the way, I heard that you accepted Hikaru's feelings?"

Haruhi nodded. "Y-Yah, I did."

His smile grew. "Well I'm happy for you two." He saw a girl waving him over to dance. "Well I better go back to entertaining guests." He put a hand on her shoulder. Her heart began pounding. "I'll see you later."

Haruhi then watched as Tamaki walked over to the girl and began to dance.

She sighed and looked down. "He didn't even seem fazed at all." She whispered. "How am I going to get him to notice me when he doesn't even care that I'm dating Hikaru?"

I looked over at Haruhi and saw that she was looking at Tono depressed. A strong feeling washed over me. I walked over to her.

"Haruhi?" She looked over at me. "Are you alright? You look depressed."

"I'm fine." She said. "Just a bit tired, that's all."

I smiled at her. "Well if you're fine, do you want to dance?"

"Um…" She looked over at Tamaki, then back at me. "Won't it be weird since I'm pretending to be a guy?"

I blushed and rubbed the back of my neck embarrassed. "Oh yah, I forgot." I looked back at her. "Then why not we go on a date this weekend?"

Haruhi smiled. "Uh sure, that would be great."

I then grabbed her hand and brought her back to Kaoru and the rest of the group. While we were talking, Haruhi kept looking towards Tamaki depressed.

It was Sunday and I was sitting at a coffee shop for Haruhi. She didn't want to do anything too exciting for our first date, so we decided to go for coffee.

I sighed and looked at the time on my phone. "She's five minutes late. Not a very good impression for a first date." I looked at the address I sent her to see if I sent her the right one, I did.

I put my phone down and started drumming my fingers on the table. Another five minutes went by and I started to get impatient. I picked up my phone again and texted her. I then put my phone back down and waited for a reply.

"Maybe she's taking the bus or the train and it's taking a while for her to get here."

I then saw Haruhi running towards the cafe through the window I was sitting next to. I smiled.

Haruhi ran into the cafe and up to me. She was out of breath.

"So...Sorry I'm late. I...I took a wrong turn."

I just smiled at her. "It's alright, I wasn't waiting long."

Haruhi sat down and we began to talk. After coffee we walked around and look at the shops. I bought Haruhi a necklace that she thought was pretty, even though she kept protesting about me buying it. But I told her it was a thank you gift for going out with me.

We continued our date and I was having a great time, but I didn't know about Haruhi. She was smiling, but something was off about her. I guess she was still sick.

It was the end of the day and I walked Haruhi to her apartment.

I smiled at her. "I had a great time. We should do this again."

She smiled back. "Yah we should, I had a great time also."

I smiled at her lovingly. "Well I better get home." I kissed her forehead. "I'll see you later."

I then walked down the stairs of her apartment complex and to my car.

Haruhi put a hand to her head and blushed.

"What am I getting myself into?"
