#11 – Wish

Rating: K+

Pairing: None... Hunny and Haruhi mainly in conversation. Hint of TamaHaru.

Hunny stared out at the sky, Usa-chan pressed tightly against his chest. The grass tickled his bare legs in the breeze, as his shorts came up to his knees, his beach, blonde hair swaying lightly against his forehead. He glanced to his right where Takeshi sat, his eyes closed in contemplation or meditation. The rest of the Host Club was spread out in the open field, surprisingly quiet, in awe of the beautiful wonders the night sky held.

Suddenly, (as expected), the silence was interupted as there was a loud smack! And some whipering from the Host King.

"But Haruhi! Daddy just wanted a hug!"

"It seems we have a pervert on out hands Hikaru!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk... Tono, that little smidge of respect we had? Gone..."

Tamaki went pale, looking towards the twins then back to Haruhi who had know stood in annoyance and was heading to where Hunny and Mori sat. "My daughter!"

Without turning, she responded. "Don't come near me Tamaki-senpai. You too, Hikaru and Kaoru!"

The twins pouted, as they had begun following her, but opted to sitting a little ways to where she was.

Hunny smiled sweetly up at her as she approached him. "Hi Haru-chan! You wanna sit with me and Takeshi?"

Mori opened his eyes to glance at her with a soft look, silently offering the same invitation, then went back to his relaxing state.

Haruhi gave a small, tired smile. "Of course I would, anything to get away from those idiots," she mumbled with a roll of her eyes. Hunny giggled and patted the soft grass beside him.

"How have you liked the vacation so far, Haru-chan?"

Her eyes softened a bit. "It's been relaxing, for the most part, minus the parts when I'm being harassed. It's very peaceful here."

Hunny nodded. "My family bought this country home for that reason. Well... also because of the open fields... the dojo team will practice here. It's been a while, though."

"Too bad tonight is our last night here," she commented with a sigh. "The lake is especially beautiful."

He smiled again, feeling completely content and relaxed with the situation at hand. Haruhi looked towards the twins, their heads bent towards each other, having a silent conversation, but she could see Kaorus eyes droopingly trying to stay awake. Kyoya was busy looking down into his laptop, but occasionally looked up or closed his eyes as the breeze wafted through his hair.

Tamaki had reclined on the grass, his eyes half-closed, as if entranced by the numerous, sparkling diamonds in the sky, Haruhi found herself wondering what he was thinking about because although he didn't always show it, Tamaki had a mature side to him, deep, deep thoughts ran through his mind.

Hunny gasped, "Look, look, look, Haru-chan! A falling star! Make a wish! Hurry! You too Takeshi!"

Haruhi smiled at the older boys child-like eagerness, and closed her eyes in sync with him. Silently she wondered what she would wish for. She wasn't superstitious, so she didn't believe it would actually come true, but if she were to make a wish... if it were to come true... what would she wish for?

She was sure that even if she hadn't made the wish yet, it was still valid, so she peeked out to the rest of her friends.

My friends...

All had their eyes closed, in obvious concentration. Hikaru's eyes opened first, reasonable, she thought, as he had probably wished for the first thing that came to his mind. Kaoru came next, and he and his brother shared a smile that wasn't mischievous, but soft and kind. Kyoya narrowed his eyes, as if he couldn't belive he'd just wished on a star. Tamaki opened, a smiled wistfully. She turned to Hunny and Mori. They were both looking at her.

"What did you wish for Haru-chan?"

She blinked and looked around once more. She could wish for her dreams as a lawyer to be fulfilled... but she didn't need to. She had enough confidence in herself to know that that was going to happen. She could wish for her feelings to stop feeling so jumbled and mixed when it came to thinking about different members of the host club, but she realized that she wanted to do that herself, slowly, with time. She could have wished for a happy, long, or even annoyance free life, but she realized, she liked the way she lived now.

She turned back towards the lolita boy, "I didn't wish for anything... I have everything I need and could ever want."

His face lit up, and for a moment he looked his age. Takeshi smiled softly as well, but then she was bombarded with hugs.

"Oh Haruhi!"

"You're so cute!"

"Come give daddy a hug!"

On second thought, maybe she should've wished for the 'annoyance-free' part...
