Ohmanz I just realised that I forgot to include a disclaimer in my prologue! =.= So sorry! So here it is (and I won't repeat it anymore): Ouran High Host Club does not belong to me. It belongs to Bisco Hatori. I own only my OCs.
Oh and in future author's notes will be italicised.
Sakura's POV
"Hani! Don't you think Mori and Kaori would look so cute together!" I squealed as I entered his dorm. "I mean, they're both tall – Mori is waaay taller than Kaori of course – and they're both athletic – Mori with kendo and Kaori with her million and one sports-" I rolled my eyes at my sister before continuing. "And they're both doing law! So they're both smart!" I concluded, grinning widely as I stared up at Hani, bouncing lightly on the balls of my feet with excitement.
He laughed and took my hand, drawing me into his room. As a third-year, he had a room all to himself – something we took advantage of often. "Sakura, love, you've forgotten about one minor factor," he told me, smiling slightly. "What! What?" I almost yelled. How could I have forgotten anything in my perfect plan to get them together? "Babe. Kaori and Mori barely know each other. And if what you told me about Kaori still holds true, she hates playboys and heartbreakers… both of which Mori is."
I absorbed that discouraging fact slowly. "Oh," was all I could muster in the face of Hani's very logical, if unwelcome, argument. "But come on! You have to agree! They're like, soul-mates!" I said excitedly, twirling about the room before falling on the bed. "And if Mori would just settle down with her… I know they'd be happy together! They complement each other in so many ways! Like, Mori doesn't say much, but Kaori require him to. She's not the type that talks non-stop and requires her boyfriend to do the same… well, hypothetically."
I sat up and frowned thoughtfully. "Actually, I don't know! She's never had a boyfriend before. I mean, I'm only a year older than her, and you're the only person I've slept with-" I blushed at that, then continued. "But, I mean, she's never had a crush! She's more like the elder sister than I am in that sense, I guess…" I trailed off, frowning guiltily.
Come to think of it, that really was the case. Whenever I came home giggling and excited over a new crush, Kaori was the indulgent elder sister who smiled at me as I rambled on about him… whenever I'd taken the role of big sister, and asked her if there was anyone she liked, she always smiled and said, "No one. Nee-chan, you know I don't exactly have the time to right now," before rattling off a long list of commitments she had.
And that was another thing. She was probably the most involved person in the school society that I knew of in high school! Cheerleading for the boys' soccer team, volleyball, track, a dozen community involvement causes… and despite all that, she still always came in either first or second in every exam, every year… how did she keep up?
As I was pondering that, Hani laughed. "I can see by your expression that you're thinking really hard about something probably totally unrelated to what we were discussing…"
I blushed. "How did you know?"
He sat on the bad, pulled me into his arms and kissed my forehead. "Babe, I always know." Then, he started to run his lips down the side of my neck, causing chills to run down my spine. "Now, I want you to stop worrying about Kaori and Mori's love life for the minute. There are other things for you to worry about…"
Hani's POV
I collapsed on top of Sakura, feeling deliciously replete. It never failed to amaze me how after more than a year, the sex just got better each time. I figured that it must have something to do with how we felt about each other, but whatever it was, I wasn't about to look a gift horse in the mouth.
As I lay in the bed next to Sakura, I mused about how everything had changed since we had graduated from Ouran Academy.
Though I had never told Takashi, I had been just as upset as him that we were going into different faculties in college… something that had probably turned out to be for the best. Without me around, Mori was free… in a sense. Before, he had always been too absorbed in his "duties" to me to chase girls… though I thought he might be over-compensating in that.
My lips quirked, as I tried to hold back a smile. Mori didn't chase girls, they chased him! Tirelessly, I might add.
As for me, in the first year of college, I had finally – finally! – started growing. It had continued into the second year of college, and seemed to have slowed down dramatically now, if not completely stopped. Even if I didn't grow anymore, I was satisfied. I now stood at a respectable 167cm, taller than Sakura at her 160cm. I would never be as tall as Mori, but that was fine with me… 187cm had been way past my fantasies anyway. I was still shorter than Kaori though… dammit! Why did she have to be so damn tall!
Hmm… thinking about Kaori… maybe she would be good for Mori. I looked at Sakura with a small smile. She was just so cute! But she was surprisingly insightful sometimes.
She stirred and rolled closer to me, before opening her eyes. "Hani… what are you thinking about?" she asked me, smiling gently.
I kissed her gently. "I was just thinking about… things. So, Takashi and Kaori, huh. I can see why you'd like that… okay. You have my support. If you can get Kaori to accept Takashi, I take my hat off to you though."
She grinned. "How could you doubt me? Of course I will!"
I pulled her to me and kissed her. I really was blessed to have found Sakura. I only hoped Mori found his true love too.
