Defining Moments
1.
The first time Haruhi laid her eyes on Tamaki she was unimpressed. (There were no fireworks, no grand entrance, no red carpet special, no three-volley salute.)
He was simply (inevitably) there.
He was too flashy for comfort. (Blonde hair, blue eyes, perfect smile—it was practically criminal to look away from him).
It didn't really help when he opened his mouth.
She found him obnoxious. ("Would you like to try me?")
And above all—
"Haruhi... are you a girl?"
—he was an idiot.
