Hi Puddin here. I've been reading a lot of Mori/Haruhi fanfics lately and have gotten really attached to the couple. So here's my story about how Haruhi and Mori came to be in a weird-for-the-normal-person-but-normal-for-Ouran-High-School-Host-Club-chain of events!!!! WOOO HERE WE GO!!!! (And by the way, I don't want anybody getting mad at me about how you spell Mitsukuni's nickname, so I'm just going to spell it every way I know how.

It was an average day for the Host Club. Kyouya writing in his secret files coming up with schemes to increase to Haruhi's never-ending debt so she could never leave the club, Tamaki in his corner of woe because Haruhi was being whisked away by the twins. Honey-senpai taking a nap or eating cake under the watchful eye of Mori, or Takashi as Hunny-kun called him. It was with this one member of the club, Takashi Morinozuka, however, that we will spell a completely unexpected path for our completely oblivious but very kind and smart friend, Haruhi Fujioka.
Cherry blossoms fell so lightly outside. But, at Ouran Academy, things never stay the same for long. Haruhi gave a long look outside at the cherry blossoms falling to the ground, so, so slowly. She didn't notice the rain clouds gathering in the sky. The Host Club Activities were over for today, and, after changing out of that day's cosplay costume, she decided to look outside before going home. And, as if on cue, Tamaki arrived with some speech on how the cherry blossoms were nothing compared to his and her beautiful love and how they should take a father daughter stroll when Hikaru and Kaoru interrupted talking of classroom meetings and homework, just enough to make Tamaki crawl to his corner of woe. And it all started when Hikaru and Kaoru tried to persuade Haruhi to wear a catgirl outfit.
"Come on Haruhi! Just for a minute!" said the ever devilish twins in perfect unison. "No." and so began their daily fight over clothing for Haruhi with Tamaki yelling about them harassing his daughter, and so they began to fight over the small brunette. After a while though, and oxygen becoming a need for Haruhi between the giant mass of entangled arms around her, Haruhi did the only thing she could do. Kyouya wouldn't do anything even if he was strong enough, because it didn't provide him with any sort of profit. Even though Honey-kun was strong enough, there was no way he would fight either the twins or Tamaki. It just wasn't moral. (Besides the whole almost-eating-off-Tamaki's-arm-during-his-lack-of-sweets-episode.) So, she called on the only reasonable ally within the club.
"MORI-SENPAI! HELP ME!" screamed Haruhi, hoping for oxygen soon.
And, just as she hoped, Mori was able to pry Haruhi from the teens, who didn't even take notice in the midst of their fighting. He sat her down on a couch.
"Thank you, Mori-senpai." He gave her a slight smile, just enough to make her blush. They sat there for a while, just waiting for Kyouya to announce it was ok to leave. The hosts could leave at anytime, of course, but just in case anything happened, they always stayed a little while longer. In the background there were the sounds of rain on the window. It was just rain though. Nothing to worry about. Kyouya gave a silent look to all of the hosts that it was ok to go. Haruhi gathered up her things slowly, taking her long enough one of the last ones in the room.
Mori didn't have Kendo practice, and was taking his time gathering up all of his books and cleaning up after his cousin. Neither Mori nor Haruhi noticed there was anyone else in the room until a small accident in the snack room...
