The following day, they all met in the central salon. It looked more like a ballroom, with wide space, fancy decorations, big windows and balconies. Yep, this was definitely a rich school. They spent the entire afternoon discussing food, music, decorations, etc.
The next day, they spent their time decorating the room with hearts and flowers. The twins would pour a bucket of confetti on Tamaki then drop the bucket on his head every now and then. Haruhi would get stuck sweeping the floor afterwards.
Mori helped with the higher decorations and somehow he had to untangle Honey, who was hanging off an already mounted decoration. He tried to add a flower before he slipped and got tangled in it. Kyoya would take notes. They got half the room done by the end of the day.

The next day, they attacked the other half. Haruhi noticed the twins, with another bucket of confetti, sneaking behind the Host Club King. She grabbed a broom and stomped toward Tamaki.
"Haruhi! What do you think of these? Whoa!" exclaimed Tamaki, ducking.
Haruhi swung the broom and it collided with Hikaru and Kaoru but it nearly collided with Tamaki's head.
"What was that for?" asked Tamaki.
"Hikaru! Kaoru! Don't you dare make another mess!" exclaimed Haruhi angrily.
"But you made us drop the bucket! So technically, it's your fault!" exclaimed Hikaru.
Haruhi tossed him the broom.
"Here," she said plainly.
Sulking, the twins cleaned the mess up. Satisfied, Haruhi turned to Tamaki.
"Sorry, Tamaki. What did you ask me?" asked Haruhi, composing herself to make herself look good in her senpai's eyes.
Unconsciously, she was exerting her cuteness and Tamaki got a full blast of it. Her charms affected Tamaki more than anyone and Tamaki knew it. Usually, he thought of it as fatherly love for his daughter. But ever since his talk with Kyoya a few days ago, he's been in doubt. Maybe it was something moreā¦
"Uh, yes. I-I was w-wondering what you thought about t-these," stammered Tamaki.
Haruhi looked around Tamaki and gasped. Hundreds of bouquets of red and pink roses were on the table behind him. They were absolutely beautiful.
"They're gorgeous, Tamaki!" exclaimed Haruhi, picking one up.
"Really? Because they'll be used as decorations for the party," replied Tamaki hopefully.
"Absolutely!" exclaimed Haruhi, taking in the smell.
Tamaki realized that Haruhi was exposing a much girlier side of her. He (as well as everyone else) never got to see that side of her. The rest of the club members were watching their development.
"Tama-chan and Haru-chan enjoy spending time with each other don't they?" asked Honey.
"Indeed," answered Mori.
"It seems like Milord might be discovering his true feelings for Haruhi," declared Kaoru.
"The aloof doofus? No way!" exclaimed Hikaru.
"Actually, he's been thinking a lot about what I said to him," stated Kyoya, not looking up from his notes.
"Which was?"
"Who said I'd tell you?"
"Dark Lord alert!"
"Shut up."
They continued with their tasks. At the end of the day, they were done.
"Well, good job everyone! The party's in two days and we're ready for it!" exclaimed Tamaki cheerfully.
"Oh! Haruhi! You have to come over to the Hitachiin mansion tomorrow! You have to try on the dress our mother designed for Valentine's Day!" exclaimed Kaoru as Hikaru nodded.
Haruhi sighed. She was hoping that they forgot about it.
"Fine. Whatever."
"I'll come to. Who knows what you two will pull," said Tamaki assertively.
Haruhi felt her heart become lighter. At least she'll have something to look forward to and enjoy.
"You just want to see Haruhi in a dress!" exclaimed the twins.
Tamaki glared at them at they backed away.
"Fine. Come then. But it'll be boring," said Hikaru and Kaoru in an attempt to discourage him.
"I'm not worried about that," thought Tamaki as they all left the room.
Author's note: A day at the Hitachiin mansion. Should be interesting.
Please read and review.
