A/N: Ah, good times. I love this anime.


There were a lot of things Haruhi hated about Tamaki. So many that she could write them down. That's what she did, sitting there, bored before Host Club began.

1. I hate the way you hug me randomly all the time. You always squeeze the damn life out of me.

2. I hate all those stupid fantasies you have about me. It's so childish. I don't know what's going through you're head, but every time I hear you yell out "I LOVE YOU TOO, HARUHI!" in your sleep, I have to smack you on the head.

3. I hate how you're always getting jealous whenever I'm around other guys. Be it Hikaru, Kasanoda-kun… you always through a tantrum like a little kid.

4. I hate how you can always tell what kind of mood I'm in. Even if I try to hide it, and nobody else notices, you always have to go out there and say "Are you okay Haruhi?" and remind me that I'm not.

5. I hate the way you always worry about me, even if I don't need to be worried about. I can look after myself. I always have, and I don't need to start relying on anyone now, no matter how warm your arms are on a stormy night.

6. I hate this stupid "Daddy" charade. You're not my dad, and it's stupid to act like you are. No matter how many times I tell you that I have a father and it's not you, you still don't give it up!

7. I hate the way you overreact to everything. You're such a drama queen—it's quite annoying. Especially when you cry when I don't pay attention to you and then get overjoyed if I even just smile at you. And when you say "I love you!" in that flamboyant way, and I can never tell if you really mean it or not.

8. I hate how you're always flirting with girls—left and right! I mean, have some integrity!! Leading all those girls on like that, when you know you don't like them that way.

9. I hate how attractive you are. No, really. Sometimes, when you get close to me, even I blush. And then I slap myself as I recall all the idiotic things you do and realize that attractive is just about all you are.

10. I hate how carefree you are. Even when you're sad, and even though you're so far from your mother, you never seem depressed. It's actually almost admirable, until I realize the sadness in those smiling eyes and my heart breaks just a little.

11. I hate the way you've made me live and think. I thought high school was supposed to be for studying and building a career and burying myself in work to try hard to forget everything that's happened. Yet you've come and almost forced me to have fun and made me laugh the way I never thought I could be able to again.

12. I hate how rereading this whole list, I start to realize that I don't really hate you that much, but rather…

"Hey, Haruhi, what're you doing?" Tamaki leaned over the couch behind her, and put his arms around her shoulders and rested his chin on her head. "A list of sorts?"

Haruhi smiled and leaned back. "Yeah. I list of all the things I love about you."

"REALLY?? CAN I SEE?" Tamaki leaned over further excitedly.

Haruhi snapped the notebook shut and stood abruptly. "NO."
