Haruhi let out a long sigh, running her finger along the rim of the tea cup on the table in front of her. She glanced down to her cell phone on the table, like she had for nearly every 5 minutes since Tamaki left for Paris. She looked up to see both of the twins standing in front of her, their matching expressions of concern making her glance back down in embarrassment.

"Haruhi, are you alright?" Hikaru leaned down over the table, examining her carefully. "Is it because Tamaki's gone?"

"It is pretty quiet here with him gone." Kaoru looked around, as if uneasy about the silence.

"I'm just…" She glanced down at her phone again and let out another sigh.

Hikaru and Kaoru glanced at each other knowingly and nodded to each other. "Well Haruhi, we'll just have to distract you until he comes back." Kaoru grinned wryly, Hikaru leaning down next to him with the same grin.

"Yeah, what do you want to do? We'll take you anywhere- do anything." Hikaru added.

Haruhi put her head in her arms in frustration, letting out a low noise of annoyance. "I don't want to go anywhere or do anything."

The twins backed up in surprise, glancing to each other for what to do next, but neither of them had another idea.

"Haruhi-chan!" Honey said, looking up at her with wide eyes from beside her chair. Haruhi looked down at him and sat up when she saw Honey holding Usa up to her in an offering. "You can hold Usa if you want to. He always makes me feel better when I'm sad."

Haruhi bit her lip as the offering touched her, her eyes stinging with tears as she took the stuffed rabbit and held it against her in a hug. "Thank you, Honey."

Honey smiled happily and glanced over to the twins, who looked even more concerned than before.

"He'll be back, Haruhi." Kyoya said gently, setting a hand on her head reassuringly as he stood behind her chair. "Until then, we'll be here to support you. You can tell us whatever you'd like, you know that. If you want to talk about it, just let us know and we'll make time for you."

The twins, Honey and Mori all nodded in agreement.

"Now, why don't you go rest for a bit. The club doesn't start for a while, and I think it's best if you sit out until you feel better. I don't want one of the girls saying something to upset you." Kyoya offered her a hand to help her up, a small smile on his face.

Haruhi nodded and glanced to the others. "You're sure it's okay?"

"Just this once. But we'll stay after the club is over to make sure you're feeling better. Is your father home when the club is done?"

Haruhi shook her head sadly. "He won't be home until late at night."

"Then we'll head home with you to keep you company." Hikaru offered, Kaoru nodding beside him.

"Besides, we have to study for the finals- and since we're taking classes together, it might help to study as a group." Kaoru said thoughtfully, tapping a finger against his chin.

"That's true, I suppose." She sat up suddenly, a thought coming to her. "Wait- it'll be summer soon!"

"Well yes, just like normal schools, Ouron Academy releases for summer vacation." Kyoya explained.

"T-then the host club will release for summer vacation too, then?" Haruhi slid down in her chair uneasily.

Kyoya looked down at her in surprise, realizing she was right… they wouldn't be able to see her all summer, while Tamaki was gone for who knew how long. "Are you thinking of getting a summer job to pay for next year's textbooks?"

Haruhi flinched at the idea of how expensive the books were and let out a sigh of frustration. "I kind of have to, don't I?"

"Well how about you work for our businesses over summer, to make some extra money? It won't be part of your debt to the Host club, but we can at least help you out, and you'll get to spend time with each of us, as well." Kyoya looked to the twins who nodded with wide eyes at the idea.

"That's perfect! Our mother is looking for a new model for her dresses, and Haruhi would be perfect for the smaller sizes." Hikaru grinned.

Haruhi flinched at that, her arms covering her chest self consciously. "Gee, thanks."

"It's nothing to be embarrassed about, some guys like the slim look like that." Kaoru smiled reassuringly.

"Yeah, like who?" Haruhi said bitterly.

"Like Tamaki." Kyoya looked down at her with a wide grin. "Come now, you've seen how much you make him blush."

Haruhi flushed at the idea that Tamaki really actually thought she was attractive, even with how slim she was. She didn't have any curves to her, which is why she could so easily pass for a boy. Though… after a few months of being in the Host club she'd had to start binding her breasts because they had started growing and would have given her away as a girl. Not that she wanted these guys to know that. "Y-yeah, I guess." She flushed even more at the thought of Tamaki even thinking about something like that with her.

Kyoya let out an amused chuckle at her bright blush, the twins both grinning knowingly. They all looked up as the door opened slightly, one of the school girls peeking in shyly. "Is the club starting yet?"

"You should get going." Kyoya offered her a hand to help her stand again, hoisting Haruhi easily to her feet. "Come back after the club is over, and the twins will escort you home."

Haruhi nodded, looking to the ground sadly as she picked up her phone and stuffed it in her pocket. She wasn't looking forward to spending time alone with her thoughts of missing Tamaki so much. She kept thinking of all the good times she'd had with him, especially that kiss…

She flushed at the thought, trying to hide her red cheeks from the others as she walked across the room and opened the door to leave, only to run into a large group of girls waiting to get into the Club. They all gasped when they saw her, noticing her misty eyes and red cheeks. Haruhi made a sound of shock at their wide eyes as they stared at her, deciding to make a break for it and run down the hall, hoping none of them followed.

She didn't stop until she had gotten to her study, opening the door and slamming it closed, locking it quickly. She leaned against the rich wood, letting out a deep sigh of relief that she had gotten here without anyone interfering.

She walked slowly over to the large Victorian style couch, sitting down and looking at the bookshelves around her. She took out one of the travel books, one based on France and flipped through the pages to Paris. She looked through the pictures of The Eiffel Tower, The Louvre, and all that beautiful looking French cuisine. She wished… she could have gone with him. But that was silly, and impossible. She couldn't afford to fly to Paris, and she couldn't risk missing her final exams. Tamaki could probably make them up because he was deceptively intelligent, but… she had to study hard.

She froze when her cell phone started blaring a song, Dizzy by Goo Goo Dolls. Haruhi listened to the lyrics for a minute, her cheeks flushing brightly at the screen as it said 'Tamaki'. Wait… Tamaki had given her this phone, so he must have put this ring tone as the one that would sound when he called! It was so…

She shivered at a few of the lyrics as it matched up to their relationship, but suggested so much more. She flipped open the phone, putting it up to her ear as her heart pounded. "H-hello?"

"Haruhi." Tamaki said in a breathless voice that made her stomach make a funny flip. "I miss you."

Haruhi bit her lip as emotions welled in her again, threatening to make her cry. "I missed you too." She said in a wavering voice. She missed him so much more than she ever would have realized. Without him around, things seemed gray and dull. She hadn't realized she'd gotten so used to his loud rants, his silly motions and constant flirting. It was almost like he was a part of her now. A part that she never wanted to let go.

To see why Haruhi thought the song suggested more, I'd recommend listening to the song Tamaki put as his ringtone. Sneaky devil that he is.
