Just Try a Little Tenderness
Hello! This is my first Story! I worked really hard on it I hope you like it PLEASE review!
~Normal POV~
It has been three years since the Ouran Festival, and Éclair was gone from the lives of the Host Club. The summer after that year, Haruhi's father took ill, shortly after the illness claimed his life. The loss hit the club hard, but it hurt Haruhi and Tamaki the most. Since Haruhi had no local family, besides Tamaki and the club. Mrs. Hitachiin, Hikaru and Kaoru's mother, decided Haruhi was coming to live with them. Due to all the extra space in their house, and saw how much she meant to her sons. For the first three years Haruhi lived with them everything went smoothly, Haruhi was a great help around the house and she and the Hitachiin family got along very well. However the summer before senior year, Hikaru just could not take living so close to someone he loved yet he knew would never love him back. So Hikaru, with the blessings of his friends and all his family, except for Kaoru, set off for Europe.
~Hikaru's POV~
I just couldn't handle living in that house anymore. So, now I am in a plane bound for Europe. I told all my friends and family it was just me needing a change, and a very big one according to my father. Kaoru saw right through my lies, but…he just doesn't understand. I hope he'll forgive me someday. No, I need to forget, I starting over brand new, in a Japanese School sponsored by the embassy. It's usually for military children but, they accept non-service children too. This is my second chance, I've grown a lot since joining the host club, I like making friends and it's a lot easier to let people in now. Haruhi helped me a lot, but it's time for me to let her go.
~Later at a Hitachiin residence~
Classes do not start until tomorrow morning, so I guess I can just get comfy in my new condo. It has an amazing view, and is large enough for five people to live in. When you walk in the front door the Kitchen is to your right with brand new appliances and a fully stalked fridge (thanks mom). To your left is a long hallway leading to the bedrooms, mine was the second on the right. Past the entry way is a large family room with a big screen mounted on the wall and two brown leather sofas with a glass coffee table in the centre. At the side of the room was a large sliding glass door out to a balcony showing the most beautiful view of the city. In the corner sitting untouched was the most beautiful jet black grand piano.
"Tamaki would love that" I whispered softly to myself
The room and hallways also held a few less remarkable items fake plants, arm chairs and a couple bookshelves stalked to the brim with my favorites, and a couple classics I probably won't ever read. The house looked like people lived in it year round but, I had only been in the condo once as a pit stop on our way to Venice. Next I headed to my room, awaiting my arrival it had been painted dark blue. There was a low bed similar the ones at home, a hard wood floor, dresser, desk and a chair. No posters, yet anyway, my favorites where in my luggage which I found waiting for me on my bed. I pushed them to the floor and laid on my bed. I laid listening to the silent condo and decided I should rent the extra room at the end of the hall, and then drifted off to sleep.
*3:02 am*
"Seriously! This is the third time I've woken up!" I looked at my watch, 6am back home Kaoru and the others would be headed to school right now… I quickly shook the thought away and turned to face away from the clock.
*3:39 am*
"Stupid Jet Lag!" I yelled throwing my Rolex© at the wall. Getting up I set my alarm for 6am and went to shower.
*4:15 am*
"Crap! What is there to do at 4:15 in the morning…clubs" my mother's voice then appeared in my head "We're trusting you Hikaru, don't do anything dangerous or stupid, no parties on school nights, don't bring random girls home, and please remember your only 17. And don't forget, we can very embarrassingly, take you form school with armed guards." I shuddered at the thought. "Or not.." So I went to make an omelet, with onion, cheese, peppers and beef.
*BEEP 6am*
