Tamaki proposed to Haruhi in the middle of my foyer while I stood at the top of the steps and got to watch. It was my place to congratulate them because I was friends of the couple and it was my job to be happy for them…
I had known that I should have told the staff not to let Tamaki in through the front door.
I backed up of silently as I could and neither noticed that I was there to witness the scene itself so I had a little time to… work up whatever face I was suppose to wear when I congratulated the two of them. After the two of them told me that they were engaged I was going to act like I hadn't seen what had just happened. Maybe I should have been a better person, but I wasn't. I couldn't be a friend right now. It was constant fight between good and evil and if evil won then there would be a lot of blood to clean up.
Why did I have to fall in love with her? It wasn't like she was anything special. No she wasn't anything special. Haruhi was smart and she was pretty, and she would be an amazing lawyer, and she was the type of person who would never cheat on you.
Fuck it. Maybe I should just become an alcoholic. I had heard from some associates that it was a good solution as any.
I walked calmly into my bedroom that was plain and modern. It was the size of a large apartment. It felt cold to me sometimes but it was just a bedroom and I just slept there so it really didn't matter to me. I moved over to a mirror and while I didn't look upset enough to do anything to the mirror that didn't stop me from taking it off the wall and throwing it across the room. I watched it splitter into a million pieces.
A lobotomy would be good right about now.
I went over to the desk, and I woke up the computer, and I started my day. It didn't matter that I was doing my work in my pajamas. No one was going to see me today anyway.
There was a knock at the door and the butler walked in and told me that Tamaki and Haruhi were downstairs. I gave him a look and he left to take care of it because he valued his position and his life. And if he didn't do what he was supposed to then he was going to lose a good position that paid him a lot of money.
……………
Haruhi's P.O.V
The fight that I had between Tamaki had been one of our worst and it when I really thought about it I hadn't known why we were fighting about it in the first place. As hours had passed and I had spent time thinking about it I had realized that, although this was a rare occurrence, Tamaki had been right. The fight had been basically been about our relationship. Tamaki had been rather serious when he had finally asked where we were going as a couple. The fact that he had brought up the subject in the first place had far from shocked me. I always expected it. Tamaki was a lot more romantic then I was and he was more traditional.
We had been dating for four years and while we were currently serious it wasn't the best time for either of us to be in a serious relationship. Keep in mind it wasn't going to stop me from being with him. I just acknowledge that it wasn't the best time right now. Tamaki was in school and was having issues with his family. His father wanted him to be a part of the family business and his grandmother wanted him to fall off the face of the earth and never come back. Tamaki was in the middle of it all wanting some part of the company, although not as large as his father wanted him to be, he also wanted to stay out of his grandmothers way. Currently all that was happening was a lot of heated arguments that, although Tamaki tried to hide it, bothered him. They just made me want to hit his grandmother over the head with a heavy object.
As for me… I was just busy. I was going to school and I had a part time job. The job was a really big issue with every member of the former Host Club, because they all wanted to pay for my college education, something I wasn't going to let them do. I was on a partial scholarship but I still had a lot of expenses and I was working to pay off as much of it as I could. I wasn't going to think about law school. I didn't want to. I didn't know how I was going to pull it off.
The two of us had been so busy that after I had graduated and gotten into college that we had barely seen each other. I had missed Tamaki, as much as I didn't like to admit that, and Tamaki made sure that I knew that he didn't like the current situation. Making time for all our friends and have time for ourselves just wasn't something that we could pull off.
And so it had been my idea to move in together. I wasn't going to not think about moving in with Tamaki because we weren't married first. Tamaki hadn't been thrilled. He wanted to get married first but I had argued with him about how we both weren't ready and I had gotten him to agree. My father still wasn't talking to Tamaki.
And so we had moved in together and everything had been fine. I went to school and worked and Tamaki went to school and dealt with his family and we still got to be with one another. But as time had passed and another year had went by Tamaki started pushing for us to get married and I had balked because we were still so busy. I didn't know if I wanted to be a student and a married woman all at once. We argued on and off about and finally last night Tamaki had pushed and told me to make a choice.
The two of us were getting married or he was moving out. He said that either I loved him enough to marry him or I wasn't. And I had rushed out because for as much as I didn't want to lose him I also didn't know if I could marry him. Tamaki was the type of person who drove you crazy on a good day. I had school, work, my father, and a relationship to handle. I wasn't ready to be a wife.
It had taken me a night away from him to realize that I didn't want to lose Tamaki. I was a sensible person, but I was a sensible person who was in love. I could marry Tamaki because anything less wasn't an option.
And so Tamaki had come to take me home and told me that we could work something out.. He had added jokingly, but with hopeful eyes, "That was unless I had changed my mind and wanted to go to city hall."
I had told him that I wanted to go home and I wanted marry him. He had been so happy, and I realized that I didn't want anything more then to be with him forever.
Love turned us all into idiots I was guessing, because I still thought it was a bad time to be getting married, but I also realized that Tamaki was right. We either wanted to be together forever or we didn't. I wanted to be with him forever… even if he would drive me nuts.
I was holding his hand and letting him kiss me lightly all over my face when I saw Kyoya's butler in the corner of my mind. I was embarrassed to see him right there and I pulled away from Tamaki with a blush.
"Uhh.." I was having a hard time. I did not like public displays of affection. "Could you see if Kyoya's awake? We have something to tell him."
The butler nodded and left and I gave Tamaki a glare when he moved in to kiss me again. "Don't even think about it."
Tamaki paused, "Why don't we just go up and wake him up?" Tamaki looked like a happy puppy.
I had enough common sense not to wake Kyoya up after he had been up half the night with me. I was also a little scared of Kyoya when he was fresh out of bed. If Kyoya was asleep then we could always tell him later.
I smiled at Tamaki, "We can always tell him later."
Tamaki looked like he wanted to tempt fate but I wasn't going to let him die before he had been engaged for less than a half an hour. The butler came back after a couple of minutes and said that Kyoya was indisposed at the moment.
Tamaki looked like he wanted to rush up the stairs and I pulled him back, "After a couple of hours. We'll come back."
Kyoya had stayed with me and been my friend last night when I had needed one. The least I could do was let him get some sleep. Plus, I still needed to get used to the idea before we started telling people.
Tamaki looked crushed for a second the way he does when he doesn't get what he wanted. He gave me that look.
"Why don't we go and visit everyone else and come back later." I offered helpfully.
I must have said the right thing.
"What a wonderful idea! We can come back after we tell everyone else." And like that he was happy again and pulling me out the door.
So much for a little time to get used to the idea… "We're going to have to call Hikaru and Kaoru, since there in France." I told him.
"We can always just go there and tell them in person."
He actually looked serious when he said that. I glared as I got into the ridiculously expensive red sports car that he owned.
And I was going to be one of these rich bastards. God help me if I ever felt like going to France because I felt like it.
A/N: You all get a present! I didn't think I would get this done but alas I shocked myself and got this down. I hate to tell you all but I think this might be the last chapter for awhile because I'm going to be really busy the next week I have a feeling that the next chapters going to be a pain in the butt to write... Should be out relatively soon though. Hopfully. Hope you all enjoyed. R/R
