Always the bad guy - Chapter 1

Author's Note: Hi everyone. This is my first ever fanfiction so please forgive any mistakes and review to tell me of them – I will try to edit and improve it ASAP.
This is set after the Anime so please remember that she HAD finished paying her debt. Also that Kyoya wasn't there to hear her stay that she likes the club so it is logical to think that he would find some way to recreate her debt (i.e. damages to the carriage) now the Host Club is back in full swing.

That said I have one more thing to say: "I don't own OHSHC or any of its characters – though I wish I did!"

Chapter 1 – Alone in the Club room

Haruhi was growing tired of constantly clearing up after the Host club. 'How much cake does Honey Senpai eat? This must be the 5th tray I've moved already' thought the distracted teen as she sighed and collected the penultimate tray from Honey's table. It was the end of the day and everyone, except for Kyoya and herself, had gone home for the day. As always Haruhi had been left to clean up all the fancy cups and dishes, thus living up to the title of Host club's 'dog', whilst Kyoya was sitting at his desk working on the club's expenses on his laptop.

'Thank God it's the end of the week!' Haruhi thought to herself, 'I hope none of the Host club bothers me tomorrow. Right… nearly there…. One more tray to go and then wipe this table and I'm done.' As Haruhi returned for the final tray, she glanced at the clock to discover that she had been cleaning up for an hour and a half.

"Argh I don't have the time for this! I need to be going over Ventricle Diastole, Ventricle Systole and Atrial Systole!' She muttered aloud to herself, momentarily forgetting she had company. "Maybe the twins could… No they'd be worse than useless. Maybe… NO! Don't even go there Haruhi. I'll just go through it again and again until I understand it and can remember it. I can't afford to drop marks there; I need to stay at the top." Her mutterings were stopped there as she turned to take her next tray away and looked up to see her Senpai standing directly in front of her invading her personal space. She dropped the tray in shock and automatically took a step backwards – just as he took a step towards her; pinning her to the table and forcing her to lean backwards to avoid physical contact. His mind was a storming sea of confusion. How could she be struggling with her work? She was one of the brightest people here. Heck she was a commoner who had fought her way into this school with determination and brains – how could she allow herself to start falling behind? As he stood there pinning her against the table, he desperately tried to think of something to say without letting her see so much of a glimpse of the many emotions whirling within him.

"You don't have to act the bad guy Kyoya Senpai; I know I need to remain at the top of the class to keep my scholarship here to be able to be part of the club and thus pay you for the damages to that carriage – I won't forget."

Caught off guard, Kyoya tilted his head just so; purposefully causing his glasses to flash with light to obscure his eyes. Unperturbed she continued "Thank-you Senpai but I'll be okay. Sorry if my mutterings bothered you."

Not fully recognising what he was doing, Kyoya gradually leaned closer towards the girl who saw through him completely. He drew closer and closer until his brain finally registered what he was doing and that her whole body was slowly lifting up towards him, not further back onto the table. With a jolt Kyoya was shocked back into reality and pushed himself off the table and turned towards the safety of his laptop and started to pack up.

"That may well be, but Haruhi, I want you to find someone to explain that concept to you – we can't have our 'dog' being expelled now can we?"

As Haruhi gathered up the tray, her cheeks flushed a pale shade of rose as she silently rebuked herself in horror at what she had done; she had allowed her long hidden feelings for this man to shine through.

"See you tomorrow Haruhi."
