The next day Natsu walked into school as normal. Dressed as if he had just rolled out of bed. Well maybe that was because he basically did, but that wasn't really the point. He was to say the least, not a morning person. He went off to his first class. But instead of normally being left alone and ignored, there were two bright shining faces right up in his greeting him. He got an aggitated look.

"Get away." He said in a low dangerous tone to the twins.

The two instantly seemed to recognize the expression and jumped back. Haruhi was there too, she looked at Natsu in a questioning manner. She realized that he wasn't a morning person and giggled some. Natsu looked at her. Normally he'd go sit in back, but then he noticed the three girls that had stationed themselves around his normal seat. So instead he sat down next to Haruhi. She looked a little at him. But then noticed the three, now disappointed, girls sitting around his normal seat. She looked back at him. Wondering why he decided to sit next to her. Normally he sat in back, in a corner, away from everyone. But now he sat next to her, near the front, also near the twins. She found it curious.

But then she realized that he wasn't paying her the tiniest amount of attention. He was drawing or something. She found out that he had only sat there, because he knew she wouldn't bother him any. It was a strategic move to being left alone.

As school continued, Haruhi found herself thinking a lot about Natsu. He was so different and dark. He didn't let anyone into his world. He didn't show anything, no emotion, and no secrets to be shown. Anything that he might be hiding, was impossible to find out unless he were to tell you. And he didn't seem like he would ever tell anyone.

Haruhi suddenly realized that she might have a crush on Natsu. She suddenly started blushing and looked at her work. She didn't get what just happened. Why was she falling for him? She'd never had a crush really before. She felt weird. She didn't know what to do with herself now. She wanted to hug him, hold his hand, find out his deepest secrets.

She blushed furiously now. What was she thinking?! She couldn't do any of that! She just met him! And he didn't seem interested in any of that.

But then she became alarmed when a note came onto her desk. She picked it up and looked at it.

Thinking of me? The note said simply.

Haruhi blushed darkly and looked at who it came from, and it was from Natsu. She blushed darker and replied. How'd you know that?

Once Natsu got it back a small smile crept to his lips. I can just tell sometimes... so you like me?

Haruhi blushed at the note. Yeah.

She replied simply. Well then... maybe we should hang out sometime.

He replied and she seemed stunned. And before she could reply, the bell rang. Natsu got up and left without waiting. The twins were confused and got a not so happy look seeing the two passing notes, and Haruhi as red as a tomato.

Haruhi rushed to gather her things and jumped up and basically ran after Natsu. The twins looked stunned and peeved. Haruhi made it to Natsu and started walking next to him.

"Hello." He seemed to smile some.

Haruhi blushed, they were headed towards the music room, since it was the end of the day. There was no one else in the hall. Haruhi didn't know what she was doing, but the next thing she knew she had grabbed Natsu's hand and was holding it. Natsu didn't pull away though. He seemed to realize that she wasn't aware of her actions. He squeezed her hand gently, and she became instantly aware. She turned a very dark red, but didn't feel the need to pull away, since she took the squeeze as the ok from Natsu.

They went into the music room, where they were completely alone. No one else went to the room right after school. It might be 10 or 15 minutes before anyone else would show up.

"You shouldn't get so attached." Natsu stated simply.

Haruhi blinked and looked at him. He had released her hand. He put down his bag and sat on the couch. Haruhi put down her stuff and sat next to him.

"Why not?" She asked softly.

Natsu looked at him and smiled some. "You wouldn't like me that way if you really knew me."

Haruhi got an almost insulted face. "Why would you say that?"

Natsu looked at her. "I might be wrong... but I don't think I am."

The two sat there gazing at one another. Haruhi blushed. She leaned in some, but when she was just about to kiss her lips to his, he pulled away, so their lips were close but weren't touching.

"You really shouldn't… you don't know me." Natsu said softly.

Haruhi looked at him. But some to come to some conclusion. She looked at Natsu, and they seemed to share a moment of perfect understanding. Haruhi knowing only what Natsu wanted her to know. Haruhi leaned in again, and this time Natsu didn't pull away.

Haruhi and Natsu shared a softly brief kiss. Until they heard an exasperated noise. They pulled away and looked to the door to see not only one, but the whole Host club standing there. Tamaki looked horrified. The twins looked pissed. Hunny had his normal happy exposure, along with Mori's normal blank stare. Kyouya had his all knowing grin. Haruhi blushed fiercely.

"I…we… it's not what it…" She tried to explain the situation.

"You don't have to explain to anyone.. We didn't do anything wrong." Natsu stated, getting up.

But the second he was up, Tamaki was on him. He grabbed Natsu by the front of his shirt collar. He glared darkly.

"What'd you do?! You manipulated her!" He growled.

Natsu glared back, but it was more frightening. "Do it… hit me." He said in a low tone.

Just the tone seemed to snap Tamaki out of it and drop Natsu, but he accidentally rubbed against Natsu's chest. He went wide-eyed and blushed darkly jumping back.

"NO WAY!" Tamaki exclaimed.

Everyone blinked and stared, but after a moment of realizing what had happened, they all went wide-eyed.

"Really? Seriouslly?!" The twins said excited.

Kyouya had officially closed the host club for the day. They wouldn't have customers today. Everyone was staring at Natsu who seemed uncaring.

Haruhi blushed darkly, she already figured it out. Natsu scoffed some.

"You guys need to get a clue." He scowled in agitation.

They all stared, not sure if they could trust what they thought, or if they were massively mistaken.

"Your assumptions are correct." Kyouya stated.

Everyone suddenly looked at him gaping and stunned. Then their eyes slowly crept to Natsu and froze there.
