-I do not own OHSHC
Haruhi dressed in a tight dark blue skirt and a light blue button up shirt with a badge on her left breast and a black tie. She wore high heels and was thankful she had tights on.
When she stepped out of the dressing room the twins wolf whistled at her.
"Was this really appropriate?"
"Of course!"
She rolled her eyes and started on her homework.
She hadn't talked to Tamaki all day, even in the car ride. So when Sara and Mara asked her what happened on the beach she started blushing.
As she recounted the tail, leaving the part of her being afraid of thunderstorms and Tamaki coming to talk to her out of course.
The bell rang and Haruhi stretched and waved bye as they left.
She looked over at Tamaki and he smiled at her.
"Ready to go?"
She nodded at him and walked behind him as they left to his house.
"Haruhi I still don't understand."
"Tamaki, it's simple."
She explained to him again but soon they were interrupted by a staff member.
"Sir, it's time for you to practice."
"Sābanto-chan, I already know the piano."
"I know sir but it is your grandmother's wish for you to practice the piece she picked for you."
He nodded and dismissed her with a wave of his hand.
With a sigh he closed his book and stood up.
"Watch me practice?"
She felt herself blush before nodding at him and following him to a room with a grand piano that rested on a platform.
She sat beside him on the bench as his fingers flowed over the keys. His eyes were closed and a peaceful look was on his face.
She felt herself relax as she rested her head on his shoulder.
Oh mother in heaven, do you see this? This man is just like dad but with his own unique traits. Do you see how easy it was for me to trust him? Please, help me open up to him more. I know I'm afraid of getting hurt, but maybe, just maybe, it's time to not be afraid for once, and just take chances.
She sat in the windowsill looking down at the grounds. She got out of class early so she decided to head to the music room.
Her phone vibrated in her pocket and when she flipped it open she saw Tamaki had texted her.
'Hey, the meeting's canceled for today. Sorry I couldn't get a hold of you sooner.'
'It's okay.'
Suddenly the door opened and an older man with dirty blonde hair walking into the room.
She stood up and he smiled at her.
"Excuse me miss, but can you tell me where I can find my son? He seems to have disappeared on me."
"I'm sorry sir, but who's your son?"
"I'm here father."
Tamaki stood in the door way but not with his usual happy presence. His face showed all business and Haruhi felt the room getting slightly colder.
"Ah there you are my boy! So sorry to bother you miss?"
"Fujioka. Haruhi Fujioka sir."
He shook her hand gently and she smiled at him.
"You're the scholarship student, aren't you?"
"Yes sir."
"Well maybe you can help my boy with his studies sometime! "
"She has been father. My grades are improving with her help."
"Oh really!"
He grabbed Tamaki by the shoulders with one arm and messed up his hair with his other hand.
"Tamaki really has been improving sir, he's a smart man."
"She speaks so highly of you Tamaki! Has she been one of your clients?"
"No, she's a hostess. She has her own."
"So what is it that you do as a hostess Ms Fujioka?"
"Well I talk with other girls about classes, their lives, and such."
"I see."
He held his chin with his thumb and pointer finger and appeared to be deep in thought.
"Well Ms Fujioka, I'm sad to say we must be going."
"Alright sir."
She didn't glance at Tamaki as they left.
As soon as the door closed she sighed and decided to text Hikaru.
'Hikaru, what's up with Tamaki's dad?'
'Oh, so you've met his father.'
'Yeah. He wasn't unfriendly.'
'He's different alright.'
'Why do you say that?'
'He's a good guy, it's just he follows his mothers wishes when it comes to Tamaki. And not his own.'
'Is that bad?'
'His grandmother hates him.'
Haruhi never replied back. Instead she closed her phone and decided to walk home.
'I'm sorry about all of that.'
Haruhi woke up to see Tamaki had texted her.
'Tamaki, it's three in the morning.'
'I couldn't go to bed knowing you were mad at me.'
'Tamaki, I'm fine. Really, no hard no foul.'
'Are you sure?'
'Positive!'
'Okay :)'
':)'
'Good night Tamaki.'
'Good night Princess.'
Haruhi went to bed smiling that night.
The next day she felt someone shaking her.
"Haruhi-hime, we're going to be late for school!"
She jumped off her bed in a hurry, grabbing her uniform and slamming the door shut in a hurry.
"Tamaki! Why didn't you call me? Where's my dad? What happened to my dad!"
"Well, I don't know, I'm actually here early."
"YOU WHAT?"
"I wanted to show you something before school but I guess it'll have to wait. That maid does a really nice job."
"Yeah, he's great."
Haruhi stepped out with her hair wet and wavy, her blazer on her arm.
She slipped on her shoes in a hurry and dragged him out of her apartment.
"Tamaki, what was it that you wanted to show me?"
"Would you miss your first half of the day for it?"
"That depends, I am an honor student you know."
"What if I told you it was really important?"
"Well-"
"To me."
"Fine, but only just this once."
He whistled at his driver and the car jerked to the left and Haruhi ran into Tamaki, their shoulder bumping.
She stayed their for a little longer before straightening up.
"Tamaki, are we going to your house?"
"Well, sort of."
They stepped out of the car and into the gardens behind Tamaki's house. As soon as they got near the huge fountain he stopped her and pulled her closer. He brought something out of his pocket, and it turned out to be a velvet box.
Haruhi blushed so warm she could feel it.
"Tamaki?"
"Relax princess. It's just a gift for our anniversary."
"Anniversary?"
"You've been a hostess for over a month now."
Haruhi smiled at him and he opened the box for her.
It was a small blue rose filled made of sapphire diamonds.
"Tamaki, it's beautiful. How did you know?"
"I heard you talking about it to a client last week."
"But, weren't you busy?"
"I'm always paying attention to you Haruhi."
Her blush grew warmer.
"Do the others know, about this gift?"
"Of course."
"I see."
He brought her into a hug that she wishes had lasted longer.
"Let's get you back to school okay?"
She nodded and he slipped the ring onto her right ring finger.
She sat on a platform in a beautiful sapphire strapless knee length dress that flowed just under her waistline.
She tucked her hands into the pockets and turned to see her rear view.
"Are you sure this is okay guys?"
Hikaru and Kaoru sat on chairs a few feet from her.
"Of course, mother says it was fun to make and it inspired her to make a new line of dresses with pockets."
She smiled at her reflection.
Mother in heaven, do I look beautiful? Because I feel like I am.
"Haruhi-hime!"
"Hey boss."
She looked in the mirror to see Tamaki dressed in black pants, a white button down shirt, tucked into said pants, and a black vest.
"Hey Tamaki. So, how do I look?"
She twirled in a full circle and smiled at him.
"Beautiful as always princess. Is everyone ready to go?"
The hosts were all dressed like Tamaki as they left to attend the ball they were all hosting.
Haruhi smiled as she danced with Hikaru.
"Having fun Haruhi?"
"Yeah this is great! I've never been to anything like this before."
He twirled her under his arm and soon she was in the arms of Kaoru.
"You guys are so much fun!"
He grinned at her and soon she was dancing with Honey.
If you could call it dancing that is.
Really, she was holding his hands as they spun into circles until she was Tamaki's arms.
"Enjoying your first ball princess?"
"Yeah, it's a lot of fun!"
Soon the room had darkened and a spot light was on them.
"And look, the spot light of romance has found Tamaki and Haruhi!"
"Now the two must share a passionate kiss on the cheek!"
She looked up to see Hikaru, Kaoru, and the other hosts grinning down at them.
Brilliant plan guys.
She rolled her eyes before smiling.
With a turn of her head she waited for Tamaki's kiss but instead he turned her head to his and gave her a small romantic kiss on the lips.
She felt dizzy but awoken to the sounds of cheer that filled the room.
Her pencil flew across the notepad in a fluid motion as she sat on Tamaki's piano listening to him practice his music.
I see you come, I watch you go
you never seem to leave me though
so is this love or hate?
We'll see, you're making me crazy
Inside my dreams you're all I see
well, all I see is you with me
lady, maybe or host
I find I really don't mind
If I had to choose a rose
in this garden of romance
maybe we could take this chance
Maybe you're my love!
And I would like to find
a hand like yours to take my hand
with one kiss
we could stop time
and i'd fall in love with you
Tomorrow's far away
let's place our hope in today
it's just you and me
in a beautiful spring
and we'll always fall in love again
Hey, hey
Maybe you're my love!
She handed the notebook to Tamaki.
He scanned it over but when he was silent she began to get worried.
"Is there something wrong? I know it was just last minute but it came into my head and I thought that maybe-"
"Haruhi, it's cute."
"Really? Because if there's something-"
"Haruhi. My princess, it's wonderful. You want to work on it?"
"Well, I was thinking you could write the music, and play it, and sing it-"
"I won't sing it beautiful. It's your song, so you will."
The worked on their music at his house, before host meetings, and after host meetings.
Oh mother in heaven, do you hear this piano tone? Do you see the way his fingers passionately move across the keys in a way I'd never seen before? I think I love this boy mother. But ever since that kiss nothing has changed. Do I make the first move? Or is that un-lady like. Oh mother, I wish you were here.
Haruhi closed the class doors behind her with a big sigh.
Finally, exams are over!
She didn't want to be conceited but she knew it was easy.
As told, she reported to the music room after her exam.
Opening the doors, she saw she was the only one there.
Typically, students were allowed to leave after the exams.
But Tamaki decided to have a little party first.
She draped her blazer over the back of a chair and threw her tie next to it. After unbuttoning a few buttons of her shirt she dully noted it was a bit hot for October.
Her feet went to the piano and her fingers softly gazed the keys.
"Would you like to learn?"
She saw Tamaki had relaxed his uniform as well and ran his fingers through his hair.
"Oh, Tamaki, no, that's okay. I know I'm not talented in music."
"That's alright beautiful, just sit and listen."
He patted at the spot on the bench next to him and she sat down.
His fingers danced across the keys playing the notes of their song.
She rested her head on his shoulder and sighed again. Her gaze went to her beautiful ring.
She had gotten it out of the twins a few weeks ago that they didn't know about the ring.
So what does it all mean?
"Haruhi?"
"Yes Tamaki?"
"Will you be my girlfriend?"
She stiffened before looking up at him.
He wasn't looking at her.
Instead, his eyes were closed as he repeated their song.
"I'd love to be."
The song stopped and they heard a small applause.
They turned around to see the rest of the hosts smiling at them.
"You go on Tamaki, I'll meet you outside in a minute!"
Now where is my tie?
Soon, her back was pressed against the door.
"Hikaru?"
"Why Haruhi?"
"What?"
"Why, did you choose him?"
"Hikaru-"
"WHY!"
"Hikaru, you're hurting me."
"I'm, sorry."
He released her shoulders and she looked up at him.
"Just tell me why Haruhi."
"Because he's an idiot."
"But-"
"And I fell for him the moment he swooped me into his arms."
"I see."
"I'm sorry Hikaru."
"Don't be."
He shoved passed her and Haruhi found her tie where he was standing.
"Dad, we sort of have to talk to you about something."
They sat at the table and Tamaki cleared his throat.
"Sir, I did not ask you to date your daughter before I asked her and I'm terribly sorry for the disrespect."
Haruhi's dad stayed silent before smiling wide.
"Well as long as she said yes and you don't harm my little girl I don't care. Just know that if you do, I'll kill you."
It was a bit creepy that he was still smiling as he made his threat but no matter.
She smiled and Tamaki clearly relaxed.
They had been dating a week and it was nothing but the normal way of life except for a few kisses and a gentle squeeze of the hands.
By now, Haruhi was beginning to feel a bit frustrated, in that sense.
She and Tamaki lied down beside each other on his bed as they talked about the little things, like how their day was going.
She rolled onto her side facing him and gave him a shy kiss.
He returned it of course but she wanted more.
She rolled on top of him, using her arms to hold her up as she deepened the kiss by sliding her tongue into his mouth.
She explored everything from his own tongue, to his lips, and even some of his pearly white teeth.
He flipped them over and deepened the kiss once more by declaring war on her mouth.
His hands traveled up the sides of her sundress and she moaned in his mouth as his hand gazed the underside of her breasts.
He cut off the kiss with an uncertain look in his eyes.
"I'm not the kind to wait Tamaki, not that long. I know that I care so deeply about you. And I trust you."
He kissed her once more as his hands pushed her sundress up to expose her underwear and to get easier access to her breasts.
She sat up slightly for him to take it fully off and then disposed of his shirt as well.
He pushed down slightly and she was on her back again.
Her hands were moving softly over his abs and his were grazing her nipples as well as his mouth.
He moved his hands farther below to trace an up and down line across her nether lips.
She moaned into his neck and he slid off her underwear.
Her hands trailed into his boxers and wrapped her hands around his shaft.
He hissed and whispered her name as she slowly moved her hand up and down.
"Haruhi, if you want to stop you better do it now."
She shook her head 'no' and he positioned himself at her entrance.
Her teeth sunk into his shoulder as he broke her barrier.
Although it hurt, it was all beautiful to her.
And she wouldn't have given something so special to anyone else.
Haruhi sat in the horse drawn carriage with the rest of the hosts.
"So, this is for a fair?"
"Yup!"
So, they had to charm the parents now too?
Man, this is going to suck.
Haruhi wore a simple black dress a complete match to what she wore at the ball.
She served tea to the parents of Mara and Sara.
"Haruhi, you're such a sweet girl!"
"Thank you ma'am."
"Those pearls! Where ever did you get them?"
She blushed.
"Tamaki bought them for me just for this occasion."
"Such a sweet boy!"
She went on to serve a girl sitting alone.
"May I get something for you miss?"
The girl stayed quiet but soon Tamaki's father arrived.
"Haruhi dear!"
She walked up and politely bowed to him.
"Mr. Suoh, it's nice to see you again!"
"As it is to you too Haruhi. And if you would, please call me father?"
"Father?"
"I know you have your own, but seeing as you're dating my son, it only seems right."
"Yes, father."
"Relax Haruhi dear, enjoy the party."
She looked up to see Tamaki.
"Hello father."
"Tamaki my boy!"
They talked in hushed voiced and Tamaki was looking more downcast by the second. But soon, the doors opened to reveal Tamaki's grandmother.
He ran up to her but she just insulted him.
"Lady Eclaire! Please, come over for a minute."
The quiet woman walked up to them.
"Until tomorrow, you are Lady Eclaire's personal escort."
"Very well grandmother, I will do everything in my power to make her happy."
Haruhi felt her heart break as the others whispered around her while they were on break.
She fingered the ring Tamaki had given her and took it off slowly.
Tamaki was spending the next two days with a beautiful woman who she knew he was set to marry.
She heard Tamaki's voice in the next room, and then, she heard piano music.
So he was playing for her.
He told me, he'd only play for the special women in his life.
Meaning her, and his mother.
A tear slid down her face and suddenly conversation around her stopped.
"Haruhi? Are you okay?"
"I'm fine."
She walked up to the door and opened it.
"Haruhi?"
"I'm just here to change outfits. You are the one who had us change outfits three times. I'll just grab my dress and go. But just know everyone is disappointed in you."
She closed the door with a sigh but soon opened it.
"Tamaki-"
She saw her on top of him and she immediately shut the door.
She slid off the ring from her hand and tossed it to Kyouya.
"Keep it."
She sat as they explained the story of Tamaki's mom.
And the despise his grandmother had for him.
She was dressed in a lavender off the shoulder dress that flowed at her knees.
Her right hand felt light as the ring was missing but she didn't want it back.
As far as she was concerned she was not good enough to be with him, and they were over.
Another warm tear slid down her cheek.
"He'll be fine Haruhi. The host club is his refuge."
She nodded and everyone around her smiled. She gave a small one in return but soon the doors to the music room opened.
"Everyone, I have an important announcement. As of today, Lady Eclaire and I are engaged to be married. And after the festival, the host club will be permanently disbanded."
Haruhi's heart officially shattered.
Oh mother in heaven, why is this happening?
Haruhi sat at the piano in the music room. She hummed their song out loud and looked at the piano.
Then she saw a metal pipe they were going to decorate to be Tamaki's scepter.
She picked it up and smashed it onto the piano.
"I hate you Tamaki Suoh."
She dressed in a burgundy strapless gown similar to the one she wore the day before.
Forcing a smile onto her face she moved around the tables being polite and courteous to the elite.
Her pearls gleamed in the light and she couldn't help but notice that her reflection looked cold. Nothing like who she really was.
But who was she?
She could hear Tamaki's piano playing and decided to call him.
Her attempts failed.
He wouldn't even talk to her.
So was that it?
He bedded her and then left.
Like any other boy in the world.
She looked up to see the twins entertaining groups of women.
She was now dressed in a huge dress from the Victorian era. It was sapphire blue and had diamonds all around.
Kyouya called Tamaki's mansion and found some terrifying news.
"Tamaki's going to France. He believes that he has ruined all of ours lives. But he's leaving after the fair. Wait, there!"
He pointed out the window and everyone rushed to go after him.
Haruhi felt a fresh batch of tears as they ran to the parking lot but no one able to take them.
The private police surrounded them and Hikaru pushed her behind him.
"Please! Let us go!"
Mori had showed up with the horse and carriage and he and Honey decided to take down the squad on their own.
Kyouya pushed her into the carriage and Kaoru snapped the reigns to make the hoses run.
Her adrenaline pumped in her as they took the back roads.
Her eyes brimming with tears and her body racked with sobs.
" Kaoru slow down!"
"Tamaki brought us together! He brought us friends and opportunities-"
The carriage crashed as Hikaru fell out. Kaoru went after him but told Haruhi to leave.
Her heart was torn but she tore off the huge part of her dress, leaving her in a smaller gown.
Oh mother in heaven, give me strength.
Her hands shook as she took the reigns and cracked them, making the horse go a faster pace.
Tears kept falling down her face as she recalled every moment she shared with Tamaki.
She could see the red car below her and she made the horse go faster, jumping an impossible distance onto the high way.
"Haruhi! What are you doing! That's dangerous!"
"Come back Tamaki please! Everyone's completely lost without you!"
"Everyone said they were torn apart by the-"
"Are you really an idiot! We all love it. Even me. I love it too! Tamaki, I LOVE YOU!"
The carriage broke off and she went flying.
"Haruhi!"
"Tamaki!"
He caught her in his arms and she hugged them back as they pelted down into the water.
"That was reckless Haruhi, you have to be careful."
"A little water never hurt anyone."
"Tama-chan! Haru-chan!"
"Boss!"
Haruhi wore the same black dress she wore earlier as she danced with Tamaki.
He slid her ring back onto her hand and kissed her mouth gently.
"I'm sorry Haruhi."
"I know."
"I love you."
"Say it louder.'
"I love you!"
"Scream it for me."
"I LOVE YOU."
"I love you too Tamaki."
"Will you stay?"
"Of course."
Oh mother in heaven, are you looking? Do you see the man I love?
Fireworks loudly clashed against the night sky behind them.
"Haruhi?"
"Yes?"
"You will be my bride some day."
"I will?"
"Yes."
"Says who?"
"Me."
"Not your grandmother?"
"No, I make my own decisions."
He dipped her and gave her a deep kiss.
A/N: Wow, that's twenty pages. Epilogue next. Then maybe a sequel.
