Hana: Nope! Not a ghost...or Kura in disguise. It's really truly me! I'm alive! and not six feet under. I just wanted to post this, I ended up writing it FOREVER ago (like 3 years ago) and never had posted it because I was waiting for Editor-chan to...you know, edit it. However she never had time to do it, so I did the best I could to fix it. I thought it was cute so I'm posting it. Tell me what you think! :)
Stealing Haruhi
"Tamaki?" In front of me stood the girl of my dreams, with her long brown hair pulled back into a messy bun and her bangs pinned back with black clips that matched her tank top. 'It's hard to believe this is my same little daughter that pretended to be a guy to pay back the club.' I smiled, then mentally smacked myself, 'NOT DAUGHTER!'
"Hey Haruhi, what's up? Fancy meeting you here."
"You're at my door, Tamaki."
"Oh, R-right." 'crap' I looked at the purse she was holding, "Going shopping?"
"Yeah, we need more chrysanthemum to feed everyone tonight." I cringed at the very thought. She smiled and chuckled, "Don't worry, Sen-er-Tamaki, there's more meat than chrysanthemum this time." I joined her in laughing, 'at least I'm not the only one still adjusting.'
She then started to head down the stairs, "Haruhi, do you want me to join you today?" 'What am I saying, I can't join her! Please kindly decline, please kindly decline!' I don't know what exactly I was doing, but Haruhi stood there trying not to judge. She simply smiled at me as she shook her head. I came here to do something important and the last thing I needed to do was act like a spazz.
"Nah, I don't need it. You stay here and help dad set up for the party, I mean..." She turned and smiled a gorgeous smile at me before she left, "...it is for us. You can help out when it's for our two year anniversary can't you?" I nodded and waved good-bye as she walked out of sight.
Afterward I just stood there. 'Haruhi and I have been going out for two years...and tonight I'm going to do the impossible...but...how am I supposed t-'
"Renka?" I called out, "The doors open...Haruhi told me to just come in and give you a hand! Thanks for having me!" I glanced outside one more time to watch Haruhi disappear around the corner, just as Renka placed his hand on my shoulder.
I'm not going to lie, I freaked out just a little bit.
"Jezz, don't pee yourself."
Or maybe a lot.
I gulped and just stood there cowering still. Then, once I regained my composure, I stood up and started to straighten my jacket out, "Renka, I've got something I need to ask you."
His face fell a bit as he let go of my shoulder and then looked off into the living room, "You better come in the living room then."
I came to see her dad
and
sit down man to man
It wasn't any secrete
I'd be asking for her hand...
"Stay here, I'll go finish the tea I was starting to brew for Haruhi and myself." Renka smiled looking at the shelf, "Don't want it going to waste!" and with that he disappeared behind the paper wall.
I sighed once, and then twice as I tried to figure out how exactly I was going to pull through with this t-thing. 'Maybe the direct way? Renka, I would like to- that's TOO direct! Renka-sir, I love Haruhi and I'd love to- and that would end with me getting thrown into the wall for being too unoriginal! gah!'
Once more I let out a deep sigh as I looked at the shelf Renka had his eyes glued onto before he disappeared. 'Look at all these pictures.' I stared at them for what seemed like forever. 'He knows I want to ask, maybe that's why he left me in here by myself. With at least a dozen pictures of her sitting on the shelf.'
she was playing Cinderella
She was riding her first bike
Bouncing on the bed
and
Looking for a pillow fight
Running through the sprinkler
with a big Popsicle grin!
Dancing with her dad
Looking up at him
To her I'm prince charming
but to him I'm just some fellow
riding in...
'Stealing Cinderella.'
I leaned in to these pictures to get a better look at one, the one that was taken at our graduation dance, 'Man, I was an idiot!' a little version of Haruhi came through my head from when we were at Ouran Academy, '"You still are senpai!"' I smiled, 'not the stupid kind.'
I than picked up the photo of her and her father and mother when she was in elementary school.
When I heard a voice behind me saying, "ain't she something?"
"Yeah, she's quite a woman," I felt my face ease up as I placed the picture back and looked up to Renka.
He just stared at me.
That's when I finally got it, "To Renka, she'll always be...'

"Stealing Cinderella" Renka smiled as I mumbled this, and slapped his hand on my shoulder. Right before he could say anything Haruhi came yelling through the door.
"I'm Home Dad, Tamaki." She peaked into the living room right as Renka slid his hand into his pocket and sighed. Quickly he turned his sober face to one of a drunk man in love.
"OH HARUHI I TOTALLY MISSED YOU! WERE YOU GOOD WHILE DADDY WASN'T AROUND?" He clasped onto her hugging her tightly that she dropped the groceries. I got up simply leaning down again to pick up the dropped bag to take them into the kitchen...'of course...I was always so stupid...now its hard not to see...'

"Tamaki? Everyone will be here soon...are you feeling okay?" Haruhi came up placing a hand on his forehead checking for a temperature. He just grabbed her by the waist. "T-Tamaki..."
'He gives me a hard time...I don't blame the fella' I leaned and placed my chin on top her head. "Tamaki get off." she pushed me away jokingly as the doorbell rang. "Everyone's here. I'll just go ge-"
"HARUHI!" a couple of boys' voices echoed through the small apartment.
"HARU-CHAN!" a small boy then came following them hopping up and down with a small box in his hand. "I BROUGHT THE CAKE!"
"Sorry we're intruding your house once again." A tall dark haired man bent down with an even taller dark haired man to get into the house.
"Ah."
"YO HARUHI!" next was the spazztic brunette followed by the less spaztic one. "Oh...and drama queen."
"Alyx!"
"WHAT? I'm just stating the obvious fact that Tamabaka is standing next to Haruhi."
"Baka."
Haruhi and I laughed for a bit. "Hi everyone, dad's just in the next room getting everything ready, we'll come join you guys in a second." They all left the room chit chatting away while I stood there with Haruhi alone again. "Tamaki, what was that about earlier...if you're not feeling well we can send everyone home til you get better."
"I'm fine." I smiled and pushed her hair behind her ear. "Let's go join them." Grabbing her hand I lead her to the living room where the stew pot was simmering in the middle of the table and all our friends were sitting around it waiting for us. I gulped and squeezed Haruhi's hand.
"Tamaki." Haruhi whispered but then I smiled and sat down across from Renka and Haruhi sat right next to me.
"Tama-chan your really quiet today..." Hunny started the conversation pointing fingers at me. I felt like an arrow hand gone through my stomach.
"MM." 'and another'
"Really strange..." 'another...'
"It is...I kinda miss his idiotic antics." not so much that time...it was expected out of Alyx.
"Are you feeling okay?" again...no arrow.
"Dono...what if we just filled your plate with chrysanthemum..." I didn't say anything causing the Hitachiin brothers to look at each other in confusion.
"Do it." 'another arro-wait...' I glanced over at Renka who had stated this. He nodded and I gulped. 'No time like the present...as they say I guess...'
I stood up pulling Haruhi up with me. "Tamaki, we're just about to eat."
"I know that...just let me get this out of the way."
"What out of the way?"
Everyone at the table started giggling at Haruhi's blindness. I sent a glare to them and they all shut up. Slowly I bent down and pulled out a box from my inner-coat pocket. "Haruhi Fujioka..." I gulped again holding the box still out of site. "Will you...will you..." I heard Alyx in the background growling. I smiled and pulled the box in full view opening it up, "Will you be my Cinderella?"
Riding in...
Stealing Cinderella.
