-1The Incidental Kiss

"What?" The Twins asked in unison.

Haruhi gave a deep sigh, "For the hundredth time, we can't stay in our apartment anymore."

"Why not?" Hunny sobbed, whilst holding onto Haruhi's arm, his eyes wobbling.

"When my dad went to America last week, he gambled away all of our money, so, we can't even afford to rent the house, let alone food."

The twins looked at Haruhi with sympathetic eyes, whilst holding on to each other. Honey, on the other hand, had started bawling and crawling up Mori like a tree. Kyouya's reaction was normal as ever. Typing on his laptop, back straight, never glancing away from the screen. Tamaki was staring into space, looking like an empty shell.

"So, this means I wont be able to continue coming to Ouran." Haruhi spoke softly, before hanging her head.

The Host Club's eyes widened. Tamaki snapped out of his trance, and even Kyouya stopped to look at her.

Tamaki rose from his seat and proudly spoke, "Daddy will not allow this!"

"Senpai," Haruhi said, which surprised the Host Club as she normally shouts at Tamaki, "I've already got one idiotic dad, I don't need another. Now, if you'll all excuse me, I have to pack my things."

Haruhi rose from her seat, and left the presence of the boys, to go to her dorm room to collect her things.

The boys stayed in silence for a while, before Hikaru spoke up, "We can't let her leave! We just can't!" Tears were filling in his eyes and his fists clenched.

"Hikaru," Kaoru uttered softly, before lifting his head for his eyes to meet with his brother's, "Go talk with her."

"But, Kaoru - "

"No buts', Hikaru! Go!"

Before his brother could shout at him more, he swiftly went in pursuit of Haruhi.

Kyouya gave a deep sigh, "We could allow Haruhi to stay in one of our homes, at least until she can move back with her dad."

"Ahhhh!" Hunny lit up at that, "Haru-chan can stay with me and Usa-chan!"

"No, Hunny, I was thinking more along the lines of staying at the Hitachiin residence." Kyouya added.

Kaoru looked at Kyouya, who looked back at him, "Why us?"

"Because," He said, closing the laptop, "Hunny would make her eat cake all day, Mori would make her do martial arts and you two are in her class."

Tamaki lit up, "What about me, Kyouya?"

"You'd probably sexually harass her."

"I don't want to leave," Haruhi sighed, "I don't want to admit this, but, I like the Host Club, please don't make me leave." A tear rolled down her cheek, and she quickly wiped it away.

Closing her final bag, she glanced quickly around the room, before walking over to the window. It was Sakura season. How beautiful it was as well. Placing a hand on the window, she gave a small sob, and began to silently cry.

"I like it here, I really do! I'm going to miss every one of them. Kyouya for his intelligence, Hunny for his sweetness, Mori for his kindness, Tamaki for his idiotic behaviour, but most of all. Hikaru and Kaoru. I'm going to miss them so much. They're my best friends, and I've never had a best friend before. I love it here! And I love the Host Club too."

As more tears rolled down her face, she dropped her bags, and covered her eyes with her arm. Just as she was about to turn and leave, two arms slipped over her shoulders, and locked her in a warm embrace.

"Then don't leave," A voice softly told her "You're mine and Kaoru's best friend too."

It was then she realised, it was Hikaru holding on to her, and she didn't want him to let go……not ever.

"Hikaru," She softly whispered.

"It's alright, Haruhi, I'm here for you now, you're not alone."

She lay her head on his chest and her tears stopped. She wished, no, longed for this moment to come, and it finally had. On the day she would be leaving Ouran forever, she finally knew what it felt like, to be held.

"I would never sexually harass my daughter!" Tamaki shouted, "That would be sick! How dare you, Kyouya Ootori, accuse me of sexually harassing my daughter!"

"That's the thing," Kyouya spoke, whilst standing, and pushing Tamaki gently to the side, so he could join the others on the sofa, "I didn't accuse you of doing it yet , did I?"

"No, but." Tamaki replied, blushing slightly.

"Tama-chan?" Hunny asked, tugging at Tamaki's sleeve.

"Yes, Hunny?"

"Where're Haru-chan and Hika-chan?"

Tamaki gazed at him, "I don't know. They've been gone for quite a while now, haven't they?"

"Ah." Mori agreed.

"Shall I go check on them?" Kaoru asked, in a really soft tone.

"N-"

"Yes, Kaoru. And tell them about Haruhi staying over at your house." Kyouya interrupted.

Kaoru nodded, picked up his blazer and walked towards the door.

"Oh, and Kaoru," Added Kyouya, "Make sure nothing's going on."

(Scene Change)

Laying against Hikaru's chest, she could hear his heartbeat gradually getting faster. Doki Doki. Doki Doki. Doki Doki. She gently lay off him, and turned to face him.

"Hikaru, I-"

Hikaru put his finger on her lips, an interrupted her speaking. He gazed into her eyes, and she gazed back. It was then, at this moment, that Hikaru knew his feelings for Haruhi were true.

"Haruhi. Please don't hate me." He then leaned towards her and kissed her, and for once in his life, he felt complete. Haruhi was so surprised. She loved Hikaru, but was still surprised that he loved her. She was a commoner who was cross-dressing as a boy, to pay of an 8 million yen debt. And Hikaru was a rich twin, who had a proper upbringing, heir to a major fashion corporation, sure, he was homosexual, but, he'd lived a nice life. This was Haruhi's first proper kiss. And she couldn't believe she was sharing it with Hikaru Hitachiin.

Haruhi pulled away from him, and he looked at her with a worried face.

"I'm sorry," He said, swiftly moving away from Haruhi, "I-I-I didn't mean to."

"Hikaru," She replied, putting a hand on his cheek, "It's alright." She then kissed him again, but at the most unfortunate of times.

Kaoru had walked in.

"Haruhi, Hika-" He stopped, mid-sentence, and his eyes opened widely, at the sight he was seeing before him.

His beloved brother, Hikaru, was kissing his best friend, Haruhi.

"What the hell are you doing?" He asked, briskly closing the door behind him.

"I-errrr-I." Hikaru stuttered.

"Kaoru," Haruhi spoke up, "Please don't tell anyone."

"How dumb do you think I am?" He replied, and there was a long silence, "Anyway, Haruhi, since you can't stay at home, you're coming to live with us for a bit, okay?"

Haruhi froze, but then she knew she had to, as she had no where else to go, "Alright, but, only if you're sure your parents wont mind."

"They wont," The twins said in unison, coming together at the waist and clasping hands, "Mum, needs a model anyway."

"Model for what?" Haruhi asked them, with fear in her voice.

They both looked at her with a devilish look, "You'll see, you'll see very soon……"
