Mysterious Haru

Tamaki was sitting beside the bed, looking at the small boy sleeping on it. He'd found the boy passed out and beaten on the side of the road. He'd had the boy brought to the mansion and looked at by a doctor. But he was worried, how had such a small boy been so beaten up?

He was making all sorts of scenarios in his head when the boy opened his eyes and looked at him. Tamaki had never seen such beautiful green eyes.

The boy looked at him and blinked. ''Was I unconscious in the street somewhere?'' he asked.

Tamaki nodded.

''And did you find me and bring me to your home cuz you were worried?'' again Tamaki nodded. The boy sat up and smiled at him.

''Well then, thank you. My name's Haru. What's yours?''

''Tamaki Suoh.'' Tamaki said slowly. Haru grinned at him.

''Well Tamaki, I guess I owe you one.'' He said happily.

Haru looked around at the room. ''Wow, this is much nicer than what I've been sleeping in.'' he said impressed.

''Where have you been sleeping?'' Tamaki wanted to know.

Haru still looked at the room. ''Oh, I don't live anywhere, but I sleep wherever I do work for that night. If I don't have any work, its back to the street.'' He said without a care.

''Work?'' what type of work was like that?

Haru looked at him. ''Yeah, you see, I'm a prostitute. Really have to be unless I wanna get caught.''

Tamaki felt his mouth drop. ''But why? Can't you find other work besides selling your body?'' he wanted to know. He was horrified by what he'd just been told.

Haru shook his head. ''Nah, you see, I'm hiding from some powerful people. If I got a normal job, they'd find my record in an instant and find me. But I still need money for food and stuff, so I have to work. And sex is actually the only job where I don't have to give them my name or anything.'' He said, stretching. He winced and held his side gingerly.

''Well, at least when the men aren't too rough or violent. That's how I got so beat up. The asshole had a thing for tying me up and hitting me while he did whatever with my body. As soon as he fell asleep, I untied myself, put on some clothes, took all his money, and ran outa there. But he really did a number on me, so I kinda passed out.'' He said embarrassed. ''Heheh, didn't mean to inconvenience anyone.''

''How can you do that?'' Tamaki asked, there was horror in his voice.

Haru smiled gently at him. ''People got to live, no matter how they have to. No matter what you need to do, people gotta live day to day. And all I did was live. May not have been pretty or nice, but it let me live, and that's all I really wanted.'' He started to close his eyes. ''Aren't all people the same? Wanting to live in order to find a better tomorrow, or in order to be with someone? Don't all people just wanna live?'' he said the words, but he seemed to be asking himself that question.

Don't all people just wanna live?

The words made their way into Tamaki's head, and he started to understand. Everyone wanted to live for a better day. And that was what Haru had been doing. Living in order to see a better day.

Tamaki made his decision and told the servants. Haru would stay with them until he could stop running and hiding.

Haru learned about this when he woke up, and when he saw how happy Tamaki was, he couldn't stop his laughter.

Tamaki didn't have school for a while, so he and Haru became good friends. After all, they were in the same mansion. They became good friends, and Haru taught Tamaki that not everything was what it seemed. There was usually another story under the one that is seen.

Tamaki considered Haru his older brother, though Haru was much smaller than him and had a childish laugh. Even though Haru was like a child in appearance like Hani-sempai, Tamaki still considered him his older brother.

And so, he asked his father if Haru could attend Ouran when the break ended. Of course his father agreed once he met Haru and talked with him. People couldn't help but like Haru when they met him. He was just so accepting and knowing.

Tamaki couldn't wait for when the break ended. He wanted everyone to meet Haru.
