A/N: I'M SO LATE TO THE OHSHC PARTY!
Okay, I have no idea what I'm doing here! I actually got this idea while I was on holidays with my own parents. The first chapter isn't the best, but I'm still trying to come to grips with the characters' personalities and my writing.
This fic will go as long as I have ideas to write. (So if you have ideas what the hosts could do on their camping trip/Any situations that could happen I'll include them MAYBE). I also have planned to make Honey and Mori the matchmakers?! I just really like them in this position nudging others in the right direction.
Please enjoy it! 3
It was an old family tradition for Haruhi. She always spend the first week in July at a campsite by a lake. Her mom and dad have already been there together before she was even born. After her mother's death the girl and her father still carried on this practice.
Only this one time sadly it was different. Ranka had to work. He tried everything, but couldn't get some days off. Weeks before he repeatedly offered Haruhi to put the holiday for some weeks, however, the girl didn't want this. It was important to her to stick to one of the few traditions she and Ranka had.
Thus Haruhi stood alone in front of the flat barely after sunrise and tried to lock the front door as quiet as possible. For one thing to not wake up her dad, who just came back from work, of course, for another thing to not attract potential visitors.
The key hardly locked the door with a faint click, when the girl heard a far too familiar voice chirping, "Haruhiiiiiii!"
She already found herself in a bone-crushing hug. Tamaki spun Haruhi around, who struggled to get out of his grip.
"Let go of me, Tamaki-senpai," the girl grumbled barely audible because her face was pressed against the blonde's chest.
As the words left her mouth, Tamaki released her and holed up sulking beneath the stairs.
After Haruhi straightened her clothes a bit, she asked quietly, "Why are you here anyway?"
"Vacations!" the twins said in unison.
A small smile played around Kyoya's lips as he noted, "Our families have cottages by a lake further down south."
The girl inquired on, "That's nice for you, but why are you here in front of my door?"
Hikaru and Kaoru put their arms around Haruhi and drew her close. "To take you with us, duh?"
She wriggled out of their embrace and wanted to heave a too heavy bag pack onto her shoulders. When she staggered under the weight, Mori took it silently from her.
Defensively Haruhi raised her hands. "Admittedly, I'm headed for the same direction as you, but I planned something different. Sorry guys. What a coincidence you're going there as well."
Kyoya's smile got indistinguishably wider. "What a coincidence, indeed."
The way the dark haired man said it together with a peculiar glint in his eyes caused Haruhi to assume that the shadow king had a hand in the pie.
Those thoughts were abruptly interrupted by Honey's voice, "What do you want to do there, Haru-chan?"
"Well, I'm going camping," Haruhi responded hesitantly. She had a sense of foreboding what this conversation would boil down to.
Honey looked at her with big and curious eyes, "What's that?"
The girl shrugged. "It's a vacation," she explained, "You get some fresh air, sleep in a tent at night, things like this."
Tamaki darted out from under the stairs like a flash as soon as he heard the words 'sleep in a tent'. "Oh my dear Haruhi! Why didn't you say anything?" The blonde blubbered laying an arm around her shoulder. "I could never ask my little girl to do this alone. I will go on this commoners' vacation with you! Oh it will be great!"
Due to Tamaki's wild gesturing Haruhi wobbled with a pained expression next to him.
Crossing his arms in front of his chest, Hikaru wondered, "And what can you do at it? Is it at least something fun?"
Adjusting his glasses, Kyoya answered, "Well, according to my researches this 'camping' is commonly composed of different outdoor activities. However, the most descriptive is possibly sleeping in a tent together."
Hikaru and Kaoru grinned at each other. "Count us in!" They exclaimed and gave thumbs up.
Honey was also enthusiastic about the idea and jumped around Mori like a bouncy ball. "Takashi, we're going as well, aren't we? It sounds like big fun." The small boy suggested cheerfully.
The only answer Mori gave was a "Hn!". It was the only affirmation Honey wanted.
The bespectacled man followed Honey with his eyes. "Say Mori, didn't your family get a delivery of tents recently?"
The taciturn man nodded.
"Very well. By chance I have some things in my limousine we could need for camping." He chuckled lightly. "What a pleasant surprise."
Being dragged away into the car by the twins, Haruhi's eyebrow twitched dangerously. With a sour expression she grumbled, "Yes, really pleasant."
