"What are you doing?" Hikaru and Kouru said together at Tamaki, sprawled on the floor for some dramatic reason.

"Hikaru left the club!" Tamaki sobbed and curled into a fetal position. Hikaru looked fakingly surprised and Kouru held back a snicker.

"No she didn't-" Kouru started, but was stopped by Honey and Mori's glare while Koyoya was leaning against the back of a column, typing at rapid speed, obviously ignoring the stupid trick. He looked up at the simple fool in process and smiled, pushing his glasses up.

"What?" Tamaki said, surprised, wiping the fake tears from his eyes and returning to a normal phase.

"I mean..." Hikaru yanked Kouru by the hand and out of the room, slamming the door.

"Honey-sempai, what did they mean?" Tamaki looked over at the small boy. He just smiled and shoved cake in his mouth. Tamaki stood up and glared at the remaining three. 'Something's wrong...' He thought as he left the room.

"Thanks for holding me up here Kirato. It's been hard being at the Host Cub and I never have time to study." Haruhi stated as she set her bags down in then large bedroom in front of her.

"No problem! The bathrooms down the hall on the left and your boxes are in the living room. Here are the keys," Kirato said, handing her a small pair of golden and silver keys. "Have fun!" He shouted as he made his way to the door. Haruhi sighed in relief, the Host Club could never fine her here. It's to obvious and the Club would never come near Commoners ground. Except for that one time at the Inn, but that was pretty fancy.

She started to unpack her bags into the dresser and closet, setting books on desks and fixing up the bed. She went into the kitchen and opened the fridge. There sat a small basket of fruit and vegetables. Kirato said he'd bring her fresh produce each week so she could save money. She smiled and took out an apple, shining it before biting into it.

She looked over the bar and into the living room. It was filled with marked boxes of her items. One was a large box that contained a vase and flowers that the Host Club gave to her after Koyoya said she had paid her debt. She finished the apple and threw the core in recycle before making her way to unpack boxes.

As time went by, her new summer apartment was filled with flowers, paintings, and decorations from home. After getting rid of all the boxes and vacuuming, there was a small box left. She wondered what was inside. She never packed such a small box. She opened it up and inside was a different colored rose from each of the Host Members and a picture of all of them together at the Beach. Hikaru and Kouru were in the shallow water splashing each other while Honey and Mori were eating cake and Koyoya was typing away on a laptop in the background. The main part was Haruhi and Tamaki smiling at the camera and waving.

She smiled and set the photo on the coffee table. Haruhi stood up and went around the apartment to look for a small table. She found one in the attic, her apartment got the attic since she's on the very top, and she hauled it downstairs. She placed it in her room, across from her bed, but beside the TV. She returned to the living room for the photo and roses. Haruhi set the photo down gently, like Tamaki taught her, and set the roses in separate cups around it; (left to right) Koyoya, Hikaru and Kouru, Tamaki, Mori, and Honey. She smiled and set box behind it all.

It took some time, but she had worked at part time jobs over the summers and could finally afford an apartment. She was proud of herself. She shut her bedroom door, closed the curtains, and fell into her cushiony bed.
