Disclaimer: I do not own the Ouran High School Host Club or its characters...that hurt a little to say.

To the immense surprise of everyone, Mori leaned over and wrapped his arms around her a moment after she answered. Haruhi didn't know how to respond as he laid his head on her shoulder.

"I shouldn't have let this happen," he said so quietly, Haruhi was not completely sure she heard him correctly. At least now she knew why he looked so guilt ridden. He blamed himself for not being there. It was the first time he didn't save her when the twins, or more often Tamaki, played too rough and she got hurt.

"It was not your fault," Haruhi said quietly. He didn't let go yet and Haruhi noticed how different his embrace was to the other hosts (with the exception of Kyouya of course, he doesn't hug). All the other hosts who had hugged her were a little possessive, even Honey Sempai's, and they tended to be a little on the violent side. Mori was by far the most gentle, even if he was the largest and probably the strongest. Haruhi was much more comfortable than she'd ever admit wrapped in the arms of the host she knew the least about.

~~Tamaki's Inner Mind Theatre's Version of This~~

A barely conscious and very confused Haruhi sits on the couch. She looks up to find her one and only love, Tamaki, but he is right now being restrained by a pint-sized Honey-shaped demon.

"Haruhi, I'm sorry!" Tamaki shouts.

"Oh Tamaki, I know you are, and I love you far too much to be angry at you for this!" the imaginary version of Haruhi answers.

At that moment a shadow fall over her. A much larger version of Mori grabs a smaller version of Haruhi.

"Sempai, what are you doing?!" The tiny Haruhi frantically asks. Mori does not answer. He just squeezes her tighter and tighter until it looks like shes about to lose consciousness.

~~End of Tamaki's Inner Mind Theatre~~~

"You're hugging her too tightly, she can't breathe!" Tamaki yelled, the irony clearly lost on him. Mori let go quickly, and looked at her too make sure she was okay. She felt strangely cold and vulnerable without his arms wrapped around her, but she smiled up at him.

"You weren't hurting me, Sempai." She said quietly and turned to glare at Tamaki.

"Milord, did you hear anything wrong with what you just said?" Kouru said. "Anything at all?" Tamaki just shook his head, ignoring the look Haruhi was giving him.

"I was saving the life of my recently injured daughter, what could be wrong about that?"

"Well, you were the one who hurt her in the first place," Hikoru added in. He was not too happy about anyone else touching Haruhi, but he couldn't say anything about that. He could pester Tamaki though, and that was always a good way to lift his spirits.

"Which not only makes you abusive..." Kouru continued with a smile as the color drained from Tamaki's face

"...It makes you a hypocrite as well." Hikoru finished smoothly.

"No!" a very flustered Tamaki yelled.

"Hypocrite, hypocrite!" the twins sang around Tamaki as he desperately tried to deny it.

~Ten Feet Away~

"Haru-chan since the club isn't opening today, do you want to come get cake with us?" Honey asked. She was going to go home and try to forget this awful day, but it is really hard to say no to Honey sometimes.

"Sure, but can we leave now?" Haruhi wanted to get out while the twins were still pestering Tamaki, so they would still be distracted.

"Yeah!" Honey said excitedly as Mori grabbed their things. They waved at Kyouya and walked out the door before Tamaki or the twins even realized Haruhi got up.

Although Haruhi's head still hurt, being around Honey and Mori was much more peaceful than any of the other club members. It was a short drive to the bakery, and their was little conversation. It was not an awkward silence. They got out of the limo and walked into a less upscale bakery then Haruhi expected. She was pretty glad about this, she didn't want to eat a piece of cake that cost more than her apartment, even if it was Honey's treat. They all had just ordered, when Haruhi's cell phone began to go off. She looked down and rolled her eyes. It was Tamaki.

"Hello?" She said with out any enjoyment in her voice.

"Haruhi! Where are you, Daddy will rescue you!

"I left with Honey and Mori-"

"Wait...why would Honey and Mori kidnap you?"

"I'm hanging up the phone now, Sempai."

"Wait, Har-"

"Bye." Haruhi hung up the phone. Her upperclassmen had already found a seat and were waiting for her. She sat down next to Honey and began to eat her strawberry cheesecake.

"What did Tama-chan want?" Honey asked.

"He was just being...Tamaki." Haruhi said with a shrug. She was used to his little tantrums, and his illusion's of grandeur, and his over-excitement. He really was like a toddler, a prince, and a puppy all in one. This started a conversation about the most ridiculous things they've heard Tamaki say. In the beginning is was just her and Honey talking, but Mori was adding more and more to the conversation. this was surprising to Haruhi in itself, but he even smiled at Haruhi at one point. This was definitely a weird day.

Soon enough it was time to go though. They drove Haruhi home first. Mori got out to walk her to her door, Honey probably would have too, but he fell asleep during the short car ride. He followed her silently and as she turned to say goodbye and thank them both, but he bent down and kissed her cheek.

"I'm really glad you weren't hurt today," he said with a smile, "I'll see you tomorrow, Haruhi." She was in shock, she just stared at him as he walked back down to the limo with her jaw hanging open.

"He must have been sleepy. He just kissed me, it was on the cheek, but he just KISSED me and he smiled...AND he spoke in full sentences. He must have been really, really sleepy." Haruhi thought frantically. With shaking hands she opened the door to her home.
