Through Our Fingertips
A/N: Disclaimer... I don't own OHSHC and blah blah blah. This story is on fanfiction. You should know that I don't own the series. :P
Also, I won't (usually) spell Hani "Honey" or "Hunny" because 1) I'm used to it spelling it Hani from my other ouran stories and 2) I'll tell you later :3
By the way, this story is sort of a spinoff of Confessions of a Teenage Movie Star which I wrote a long time ago (still not done). I can't bear to abandon it though since there was a lot of funny stuff that happened. :3 At first, Hani's relationship would have been part of that story but I thought it would be better to go more in depth with Hani's relationship and hence a separate story. So enjoy! :)
Chapter 1 - Seeing
*Hani's POV*
Today my class is doing a lab in chemistry. I love doing labs. They're so much fun – especially when something explodes! I remember we did this really cool lab where the solution changed colours. It went from black to blue to clear to yellow then back to black! It looked like it went from Coke to Gatorade, Sprite, Mountain Dew, then Coke again. I don't think anyone would really want to drink it though. Actually, I think Tamaki would if someone told him it was a mega-morphing drink. And (don't tell anyone this) Takashi would probably believe it too so he'd probably be added to the gullible list as well.
"... Make sure everyone is wearing goggles," noted the young teacher. "Not only are they a fashion trend in anime (i.e. Naruto, Digimon)," he joked as a few otakus giggled, "but, they also protect your eyes. So be careful especially since we're working with some acids."
With that said, I got up and went over to my partner's desk. "Come on Chi-chan! Let's go~!" She didn't reply at first. "Chiyeko~!" I tugged on her sleeve.
"Huh?" She noticed my face. "Oh right, let's go and do the lab." She grinned at me. I'm guessing that she likes labs too. :D
Just as she got up, the teacher came to talk to the girl who was sitting beside her. "Okay, you can put your laptop away now, Rita," said the teacher. "I'm not going to give out any further instructions." Rita typed everything the teacher said – and I mean everything even the littlest of mistakes. If she heard him say that pigs fly, she'll type it down. And no, our teacher did not say that pigs fly. That's just an example. She's probably thinking of being one of those court secretaries that write or type down everything. But this habit of hers does come in handy. Mm hm... If someone's absent one day, they just ask for her notes. And whenever the teacher makes a promise, he has to keep it because she has the proof. Also, Chiyeko read it over while she so it's not like she can just type everything. Everyone knew that her notes are trustworthy.
Anyway Chiyeko and I went to our lab station. I began to read the whole procedure aloud. Although Chiyeko was clearly reading the procedure as well, I thought it would help if I said it out loud. She looked kind of dazed today. But then again, she always seems to be in another world. It was always so funny how she reacted when people brought her back down to earth.
Today, she clearly was in another world. While she was measuring one chemical, I clearly told her 5 millilitres but she puts 15. She was looking for sulphuric acid although the teacher said that we'd use nitric acid instead of that. And on top of that she spilled some dark purple stuff on my pants. I knew I had to get another uniform but I did not expect the purple colour to turn yellow. It looked like really yellow pee. I wanted to cry T__T. But she insisted on paying for a new one. She didn't have to pay for it because I knew it was an accident but she insisted.
She wasn't really a bad lab partner though. I know that many girls don't like to do the hydrogen gas test. It's where you have to put a lit splint next to a test tube to check if hydrogen is coming out. And when there is some hydrogen coming out, the flame would go out with a pop. Chiyeko did this test.
But for some reason, Chiyeko and I had gotten more hydrogen in our experiment (probably because of the 15 millilitres) and the pop was so loud that the room whole room just stood still. It was deadly quiet.
But she didn't seem to notice. She just continued with the lab. Oh well, I thought while shrugging. Strange girl. I'm just glad she didn't drop the test tube because the pop was so loud.

When the Hikaru and Kaoru came back to the host club with the costumes, I predicted this would happen.
The two of them, in unison, looked at me. They dropped the clothes. They pointed at my pants. And, after a still pause, they laughed their heads off. ""Honey-sempai actually peed in his pants!"" And they continued to laugh and laugh and laugh...
"Hey, don't laugh at Honey-sempai!" scolded Tamaki. "It's not his fault he peed in his pants." I started to sniff with tears about to fill my eyes. Tamaki... you don't make things better at all.
"How many times does Honey-sempai have to explain that it's a stain from chemistry class," Haruhi sighed.
""Then why didn't he change his clothes??"" the twins questioned.
"I was going to change into the host club's spare uniform...," I replied wiping a tear from my eye.
Kyoya examined the stain. "It did result into an interesting colour though."
Creeeak.
"Haninozuka-kun," a young man popped his head in around the door and walked in, "can you – what HAPPENED to your PANTS?!?!"
And then Hitachiins recommenced in the laughing and I began to feel embarrassed again :(.
Well, it seemed that the boy, Tsurane, was looking for me to ask a favour. The whole story was explained to me once I got back from changing my clothes.
""Apparently...""
"His story is so tragic..."
""...his girlfriend...""
"...wanting to help desperately him out..."
""...he got owned when a couple of guys...""
"...so he tried gallantly to protect her..."
""...punched in the face and...""
"...he felt so embarrassed and because of that..."
""...the bad guys lost, the good guys won but...""
"""...you have to help him!"""
"..." I blinked at them. The collaboration of the twins and Tamaki was not a good one. All of that went over my head. "Okay so what do I do?" I asked with an innocent smile.
Haruhi stared at me wondering I actually understood everything. But Takashi explained it anyway for me because he knew that I didn't get anything out of that. "He wants to be able to protect his girlfriend."
I turned and smiled at Tsurane. "No problem. Every boy would want to protect the girl he loves. Of course I'll help!"

At the end of the day, Takashi and I left the school. I watched the sky pour down water droplets. It looked so pretty. I wanted to run out into the rain but Takashi wouldn't let me :(. He took out the umbrella while I was mesmerized by the sound of the drops hitting the ground. It was like music.
"Mitsukuni." My attention withdrew from the sounds and was captured by who Takashi was looking at.
"Hey! It's Chi-chan!" I exclaimed. "Chi-chan~!!" I yelled out for her. It seemed like she didn't hear me so I ran towards her leaving Takashi behind. "Chiyeko~~!"
My eyes fell on Chiyeko's chauffer. I looked at his hands. Shocked, I searched for Chiyeko's eyes to find the truth. My jaw dropped when she looked at me. Why I didn't realize this before?
A/N: Why does it always seem like I start off with short chapters? Lol. Anyway, please c/c/c lol. (Comment/ Correct/ Criticise). Forget R&R :P. Hope you enjoyed the ride so far. (But this is seriously such a short chapter :/)
