(Haruhi's POV)

Haruhi slid downward, so that she wasn't sitting on Kyoya or the couch anymore. She sat on her knees, in between his legs, to get a better angle for her mouth as she started at the base and kissed her way upward.

At the tip, she wrapped her mouth around him entirely, tasting and licking him with her tongue. He tasted sweet, but also salty, and there was a hint of something she just couldn't describe. Haruhi felt awkward too, having something so awkward inside her mouth. It didn't taste bad though, so she kept going.

Kyoya sat rigid, trying to exercise control. Every part of him wanted to call out her name, to make her actually have sex with him, to make her his, and his alone. The pleasure flooding his brain was making it harder and harder to control himself. Somehow, his hand found her head, and started gently stroking her hair.

He's getting closer…I can feel it. And, he's stroking my hair; it feels really nice. I didn't expect know something so simple could be this comforting. Haruhi started going slightly deeper, trying to push her gag reflex back. Kyoya's other hand was gripping the couch he was sitting on, and Haruhi noticed his knuckles were starting to turn white from gripping the couch so tightly.

The closer Kyoya got, the less control he had. He kept trying to hold everything in, because an Ootori was always in control, yet it seemed that he was losing control the longer it went on.

Haruhi's tongue started moving, hesitantly at first. While her mouth was still moving, she tasted the sides of him. It tastes like the rest of his skin. Then she moved upwards, towards the tip, and licked up anything that wasn't soaked up. That's when she realized Kyoya had stopped caressing her hair and had started pulling her head up and down instead.

Kyoya let out a small stifled moan as she touched him with her tongue. He really couldn't seem to control himself around her. Suddenly, he looked down at her and realized she was looking at him with her big brown eyes. She tried to say something, but since her mouth was full it had only made him vibrate, which sent him close to his peak.

He realized that he had to let himself go, and to stop being so in control for him to release, so he let himself go, right into her mouth.

That taste…I still want to know what that taste is like. But, at least I was able to finish him; I was really worried I wouldn't be able to. Haruhi swallowed the last drop, and then looked up at her favorite sempai.

"Haruhi…I love you. So very much. I really hope you realize that." Kyoya looked her in the eyes this time, the sincerity ringing in his voice. Why must he always avoid me, and then shower me with love, and then repeat? "Kyoya, you're my boyfriend. If I didn't think you loved me then why would I be sitting where I am right now?" Haruhi answered back, as she started to move from her position on the floor to a more favorable position on the couch.

Kyoya leaned in to kiss her briefly before pulling away and responding, "I know… I suppose it's just the fact that I worry a lot about coming across too cold towards you. It's almost time for school to end for the summer and I want to end on a high note academically." I know you're the top of your class, and to impress your father you will always be the top of your class. "Kyoya. I love you. And, I understand that you have to be top of the class. I have to be top of the class too or else my scholarship will be taken away. Sure that means we can't always spend a ton of time together, but I don't think I quite follow what you're saying." Haruhi chose her words carefully, trying to figure out what he was trying to tell her before figuring out how she felt about anything.

"I'm not trying to say anything other than I love you. It's just that I've felt that you've resented me being busy and I wanted to correct that." Kyoya replied smoothly, trying to sooth her. He gently stroked her hair as he spoke.

Casually, Kyoya glanced at his watch. In thirty minutes, the host club would start, meaning that they needed to move to the front of the room soon. He stood up and turned around to face his love, offering his hand to her. "Come with me. It's time to entertain our gues- I mean our idiotic hosts."

Haruhi giggled. Kyoya really could be funny when he tried. Plus, he was right. Tamaki was such an idiot sometimes that it felt like everyone was just playing along to make him happy. She took his hand, and together they walked out of the storage room.

"Haruhi, you can get home by yourself right? You can't come over today because I have to leave now to be in a meeting with my father. I'll probably be too busy tonight to talk to you much." Kyoya told her this as he hugged her goodbye. "Sure Kyoya. I hope your meeting goes well. See you tomorrow." Haruhi replied smoothly. Hikaru and Kaoru took off immediately after the club ended, claiming they had the perfect idea for our next cosplay. Hunny had karate practice and left early too. Tamaki had just left, and Kyoya's going. That leaves Mori, but I haven't seen him.

After Kyoya safely left the room, Haruhi started looking around for her best friend. She never responded to him after he said he liked her, and although she was dating Kyoya, she felt like she should at least talk to him. As she was checking for him in the kitchen, she noticed the clouds outside. The dark clouds. A storm was coming. Maybe if I find him, Mori can take me home.

She found him in the back of the kitchen, where Hunny's supply of cake was. "Hey Takashi, do you think you could give me a ride home? Kyoya's busy, and it looks like a storm and-" Mori cut her off, "Of course. Why did he leave you though?" Mori was a little irritated with Kyoya – it's not polite to leave your girlfriend alone when she's about to face her worst fear. "He had a meeting with his father…but it's okay if you stay over for a while right? My dad is away on business again." Haruhi sounded calm and collected, but she was fidgeting nervously.

Mori considered the girl in front of her. On one side he knew she really shouldn't be left alone, but on the other he didn't know if he had the control to have her cling to him without him doing anything.

A clap of thunder broke his train of thought and made up his mind for him: he would protect her. She reached over to hug him at the sound of the thunder, and Mori embraced her without question. "Let's go." He stated simply, wanting to get her home so he could make her some tea.

(Mori's POV)

Getting her to the car was hard, and after no one else was in sight he resorted to carrying her. Once they were in the car he settled for pulling her up against his body, and sitting in silence together and she tried to calm down.

I want to make her feel better, but I also don't want to overstep any boundaries. I don't want her to end up leaving Kyoya just for me, and I don't want her to cheat on him with me either, so I can't start anything. I just have to keep myself in control.

"Takashi….could you do me a favor?" Haruhi's words suddenly reached him, though she had been silent for most of the car ride, and they were almost at her house. "What is it?"

"Could you maybe stay at my house for a while? Just until the storm ends though you don't have to if you don't want to."

"I'll stay. You need me." Why did I say that? Why would I say she needs me? She needs Kyoya, not me. If she had a choice, Kyoya would replace me.

"Thank you…" Haruhi trailed off, as a bright flash of lighting light up the inside of the car. She leapt into Mori's lap and clung to his blazer, trying to hide from her fear. Mori's arms wrapped over her protectively, and they stayed like that until they reached her house.

Realizing Haruhi wasn't going to let go of him, he picked her up and carried her to her apartment. Once there, he set her down to unlock the door so they could go inside. He led her to the couch to sit down. "Would you like some tea?" Mori asked, trying to figure out if she would be okay while he was in the kitchen. She nodded.

I'll stay until the storm is over, and then I'll leave. I won't talk to her about what I told her yesterday. She probably needs time to think. If you don't get control of your emotions then you'll be as bad as Tamaki. Mori scolded himself for overthinking, but inside he knew that it was because he cared for Haruhi so much. It's hard to get over someone when you know that you could easily have a chance if she was single.

Once the tea was ready, he moved to the living room to find Haruhi huddled under a table. He gently pulled her out, placed her on the couch and put a cup of tea in her hand. "Drink."

Slowly, Haruhi drank. She calmed down after the first few sips, and relaxed even further when Mori pulled her to his side. They sat like that silently until the storm was over.

"Takashi, thank you for staying with me. I should let you go back home." Haruhi was grateful for Mori staying, but she really had a lot to think about and couldn't just have him stay with her all night.

"If you need me, you know you can always text or call me. I will always respond." Mori was watching her carefully, looking for any sign that she wasn't alright. When he was content that she was fine, he allowed himself to leave. I'm falling for you, Haruhi Fujioka.
