It was a beautiful summer's day, specifically out of the rainy season. Haruhi let out a shaky breath as she looked at herself in the mirror. How he had convinced her to grow her hair out was beyond her. As she gazed into the mirror, she looked to her hair, it was braided and wrapped around into a bun, then her eyes drifted down to her dress. It was beautiful, a formfitting white dress, but the ruffles on it made it have a bit more depth. it was strapless and she was wearing jean capris underneath the dress however, she never liked dresses, but today she needed it.
"Haruhi, your being paged." she looked to the door to see her maid of honor, Renge Houshakuji smile to her as she popped her head in the room.
"Thanks Renge." Haruhi turned to the giddy girl "How do I look?"
"Like a princess," she blushed a little "are you nervous?"
"Of coarse I am." she paused for a second and turned around, looking at herself as she quietly asked "Am I doing the right thing?"
"What? You've been friends with him since high school, he's one of your closest and best friends, one of the seven!"
"The seven?" she turned to Renge
"Ya, Kyoya, Kaoru, Hikaru, Mori, Honey, Tamaki, and, best for last, me."
Haruhi laughed a little "Ya, I think the actual best one would be the one who's at the altar right now."
Her heart skipped a beat, was this really the day? the day that she married him? she thought back to all of the fun she and him had together, the date that was set up, she had thought that she was going with someone else, then he showed up, and she was happy he did. the first time he found out about her severe fear of thunder storms, he found her in a church and moved a cloth over Haruhi, bringing her close to him as he put his headphones on her head so that she can't hear the thunder as they waited for the thunder and rain to stop. They were caught once, on Halloween, they ran from a prank that Tamaki and the other members of the host club, except Kyoya of course, were playing on them, they tripped a booby trap, one that brought up a net, forcing Haruhi and Hikaru in a very close space. She had to get them out, so she leaned over him, blushing a little as she realized where her chest was.
It wasn't until Renge spoke, that she realized that she was smiling "See? You love him, just thinking of him makes you smile."
Haruhi blushed a little, not realizing that she was smiling before now "Shut up," She put her hands to her reddened face, trying and failing to hide the fact that she couldn't stop smiling and blushing.
"Anyway, we need to go, it's time"
She froze, worry ran through her already frantic mind. What if things ended up badly and she wouldn't be able to speak to him because of a fight? What if the host club was on his side of the fight and they all leave her, including Renge? Her heart fell and he face became white
"Haruhi? snap out of it!" Range snapped her fingers in front of Haruhi's eyes, making her eyes refocus and her head shake a little in shock "What were you thinking about?"
"Oh, it was nothing"
"It didn't look like nothing"
"It was just nerves, that's all"
"You know that you have nothing to worry about right? He only had his brother to trust, he never really trusted the host club with that much either, but you, your different, he trusts you completely, you have nothing to fear, leaving you would be like him leaving Kaoru, just not possible." She smiled a reassuring smile, trying to help.
Haruhi shook her head, smiling "Your right, what do I have to worry about? He trusts me completely, and everyone that knows him, knows that he has some trust issues." They approached the church's sanctuary's doors, they were in the same church that Hikaru found Haruhi in about six years began to play as Renge walked down the isle, and standing to the left with the brides maids.
"You look absolutely amazing Haruhi" Ranka, Haruhi's dad smiled as he looked at his daughter and her eyes nearly flooded with tears as she thanked him and hugged him. Ranka was dressed like a proper young gentleman, which was unusual for the transvestite.
"Thank you dad, you do too"
The doors opened, she walked in slowly, eager to get up to the altar, but being dragged back by her father. She looked at her father and remembered fighting with Tamaki on who would walk her down the isle
"Your father should be walking you! And I am your daddy, I just want to be the one to give daddy's little girl away, is that too much to ask Haruhi?" He had said
"Tamaki-sempi, I agree with my father walking me down the isle, that's why YOU won't be walking me, my FATHER will be" Tamaki pouted, but finally accepted her reasoning when she said "Besides, your one of the groomsmen, you can't walk me down, then go be a groomsmen"
"That reminds me Hika-chan, who's gonna be your best man?"
Hikaru smiled "Honey-sempi, do you really have to ask?" Hikaru's gaze turned to his brother, who nodded, making him smile.
"Well who is it?" Honey said through a mouth full of strawberry cake.
"Think about it Honey-sempi, who has Hikaru been closest to in this group?" Kyoya commented, not looking up as he wrote in his black book
'He still carried that thing around? I thought he only used it for the host club, but we had been out of the host club for a couple of years' Haruhi thought at the time
"Well I know he loves Haru-chan"
"Right, but who else?"
Honey thought for a moment "Kao-chan!"
Hikaru smiled and nodded
"Here Comes the Bride" was playing beautifully by a sting quartet, Tamaki's idea, Ranka humming along, making Haruhi giggling a little, then she looked at her groom. He looked stunning in his black tux, with his Ouran tie. As she looked to the tie she smiled, remembering how they met. He originally thought that she was a boy, then, with the thanks of Tamaki, he thought she was a gay boy. It wasn't until she had to change clothes and, when Hikaru and Kaoru tried to help her change, she kicked them out, having them realize that she is a girl. Ever since then, he knew he liked her, then it grew to love as they became closer on their date, that was set up by Kaoru. His hair was a little messy, but not to where it looks like he just rolled out of bed, it was cute, like his hair always is. She smiled brightly to him, and he smiled brightly back to her.
As they reached Hikaru, her father looked at Hikaru with a stern look. "You better take care of her, I know where you live" He smiled and chucked a little as Hikaru smiled sweetly
"I will, you have my word"
Haruhi hugged her father and felt him start to cry, his body shaking lightly, she whispered to him "Dad, don't cry, your going to get me started"
"I'm sorry, you just remind me so much of your mother"
Haruhi felt some tears fighting her to break through the surface, but she sucked them down, she didn't want to cry in front of this whole crowd. She released her father and assumed her position in front of Hikaru.
"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today..." Kyoya spoke with a smile, he'd gotten ordained as a minister for this very occasion, as he continued, Hikaru and Haruhi stood, looking lovingly at each other as they held hands, the world seemed to melt away and they didn't hear anything until Kyoya said. "If anyone has an objection as to why these two should not be joined in matrimony, speak now or forever hold your peace"
For a moment, it was quiet, then someone, that someone being Tamaki, yelled "Daddy doesn't like it!" He charged to the front of the sanctuary and held Haruhi, ripping her away from Hikaru
"I agree, my daughter shouldn't marry a twin, she may be able to tell you apart, but I still don't like it, you can still fool her, how do we even know that you're really Hikaru?"
BOOM!
Perfect, the icing on the cake to a horrifying event, now it was raining, not just raining, but thundering. The power went out in the church and the only time you saw anything was when lightning illuminated the room. Once the lighting flashed finally, everyone noticed Haruhi was gone, Tamaki and Hikaru started to frantically look for her as she hid in the same exact spot where she hid years ago. When they finally found her, they pulled her out in front of everyone Tamaki held a gun out to her, for her to take
"This is the only way to tell who you really love, it's either Hikaru, or me Haruhi, you have to shoot the one you don't want"
"What? I don't want to shoot anyone!"
"Fine" He put the gun to Haruhi's head "Which one of us will it be then?"
The gun cocked.
