Two years, that's all it had taken for me to fall prey to the vice like grip of a little something you and I know to be called love. It's quite frustrating really, especially because of the person who happens to be my object of my affections- he's brash, annoying, overly hyper, never thinks things through, full of himself, and overly dramatic. Basically he's the complete opposite of me- rational, level-headed, more conservative. So what can I possibly see in him? As much as I hate him for making me continously think about him and feel like some love sick puppy dog, I love him so much for just being him. Not that I'd ever admit that to him though.

And of all the people I could have fallen prey to, who could have a hold of my heart, it just had to be him. Why not nice sensible Kyouya-sempai? He would have made more sense out of anyone I knew as a good match for me. Or what about Mori-sempai? At least he's nice and quiet, never one to annoy people. Hell, even the manipulative, conniving Hitachiian twins who I spend so much time with would not have shocked me so much. But they will always be my best friends, and nothing else. No, it had to be Tamaki-kun. Though I never call him that out loud. No, in the real world he is my senpai. Nothing more and nothing less.

And what's even more frustrating is how now my grades were starting to slip because of this little obsession of mine. Also my performance while in the Host Club wasn't nearly up to par, as the twins so gleefully loved to tease about lately. And what's worse, is that I have a sneaky suspicion that Honey-chan knows. Little bastard is far smarter than he puts himself out to be. Oh well, so much for not wanting to fall for the princely type.

"Haaaaarrrrruuuuhhhiiiii!", said a very sly twin voice, Hikaru no doubt. He just loved to taunt me. I think he gets some sort of sick pleasure out of seeing my discomfort. Damn masochist. It was Monday, and I'm sorry but I'm not a Monday person, as well as it being before first period, so I just wasn't in the mood for the twins tauting of who knows what was on their mind, nor was I in the mood to amuse them by playing into whatever their current agenda was.

So I did what only I could stupidly do thinking it was a good idea, though my ideas always seem to put me in the worst predicament. I ran. I turned the corner of the hall and ran at my top speed (which I doubt is very fast seeing as I'm only five feet tall, so my strides really aren't all that long). Which about ten seconds later I found out just how this course of action was going to backfire on me. I go from legs pumping to smacking my face into someone's chest so fast that I let out a yelp. Then my heart stops and my blood runs cold when I hear a familiar chuckle and smell the smell I would reconize anywhere- a spicy floral scent mixed with fresh water. Damn, I run from the cubs and get caught be the lion.

"Are you alright?", Tamaki asks as he leans back a bit to be able to look at my face better, amusement written all over his face, and a taunting glint sparkling in his deep violet eyes. God how I love those eyes.

Uh, yeah, I'm fine", I hear myself say, " just running from the twins, you know, the usual." I force myself to laugh. Because lately whenever I'm around him, I just want to stare into his eyes, and words can't seem to form in my mind.

His beautiful laugh roars in my ears, and suddenly I'm alert to the fact that he's still holding onto me. He is so frustrating, and he dosen't even realize it. Slowly he lets me go, and I take a timid step back. I have to crane my neck to look at him, which I always find so annoying, him being about a foot taller than me, not too mention probably about fifty pounds heavier with his muscle and stature.

"Yeah, between Kaoru and Hikaru sometimes I think I'm going to go insaine." he then smiles at me.

"They do call you a creepy pervert alot", I joke. He glares.

"I don't know why they insist on calling me that all the time, I respect girls, wouldn't you say Haruhi?", he drapes his arm across my shoulder and begins to lead me towards the abandoned music room we use for our club.

"Sure, senpai, if that's what you want to call it", I mumble. Truthfully I always get jealous when we are catering to our guests and I look over and see him entertaing a girl. Putting his arm around her, making her feel special. All the things I secretly wish he would do around me, and for me only.

"You're so mean to me, Haruhi", he feigned sadness while dramitically holding his the wheels in his head were moving, and I knew I wouldn't like what he had come up with.

"Say, why don't we have a little contest, every day after school when we are entertaining our guests, for an entire weak, we will compete to best each other at being the perfect gentlemen, and at the end of said week we will hold a vote.", Tamaki was now rubbing his hands together evily, like the insaine maniac he is.

My insaine maniac, whispered in my mind. Really, I need to stop this at all costs, this infatuation of mine. But the thought of that makes me want to cry, because if I was being truthful with myself, it was more than just some silly crush. It was an obsession, or better yet, an addiction.

"I don't know, seems like alot of work for me, and I'm not getting anything out of it, and I'm kinda busy...", I was cut off by Tamaki speaking.

"Oh, well we can fix that", he smiled. Dammit, why does my heart have to flutter every time he smiles? This is ridiculous!

"How about, whoever loses, has to be the other person's slave for a week, the winner will have complete power over the loser, and the loser can't deny the winner anything, no matter how difficult or outrageous the task", as he said that my always in the gutter mind just had to conjure up images of Tamaki shirtless, and in my bed. And he looks so good without a shirt on! That annoying little voice in my head drooled. Could I be any more pathetic right now?

"Okay, I think I can agree to those terms, how about we shake on it?", I smiled at him Then ofcourse as our hands connected, I got that familiar tingling that makes me feel all warm inside.

"Alright then, until after school then, Haruhi", Temaki waved goodbye and walked off down the hall. As I stood there watching him leave, only one thought stuck in my head.

This is going to be a long week.
