"I Love You Haruhi" PART 4
That day after classes, the host club met and Tamaki, Kaoru, Mori, Kyoya, and Hunny all noticed that Hikaru and Haruhi were acting different. Hunny was the first to go up to Hikaru and ask in his cute, childish voice, "Are you guys feeling ok? You're acting pretty strange."
"Yeah, why?" Hikaru answered.
"It's just that we all noticed that you guys weren't focused on the customers. You just look like you're both thinking of something else," Hunny explained.
"I'm focused," Hikaru said.
"Ok," Hunny said rolling his eyes.
After talking to Hikaru, Hunny went over to talk to Haruhi. "Haru-chan, are you feeling ok?" he asked as Haruhi almost missed the teacup while trying to pour some tea.
"What, oh sorry Hunny, I didn't see you," said Haruhi in a daze. "Yeah, I'm fine. Why?"
"Oh, no reason," Hunny lied.
"Something's wrong with Haruhi and Hikaru!" Hunny yelled as the guests began to stare.
"Calm down Hunny," Kyoya said in his flat reassuring voice. "I think I have an idea why those two are so distracted. I have some photos of them in town on Saturday."
After Kyoya shows the pictures, "OH SO CUTE! My daughter can't be seen in such a cute outfit with that devil." exclaimed Tamaki trying to see the pictures more closely. "Let me see!"
"No," Kyoya said bluntly.
After the host club ended, everyone but Hikaru and Haruhi met up outside in the school garden to discuss the pictures. "What do you think they were doing?" Hunny asked naively.
"Isn't it obvious? They were on a date," Kaoru said as though it was common knowledge.
"AHH, NO, THEY CAN'T BE DATING!" Tamaki shouted.
The entire host club was puzzled. How could Haruhi and Hikaru be dating without anyone knowing. Kyoya was, just a little bit, disappointed and jealous. Tamaki was just furious; how could his little Haruhi be dating someone other than him. Mori had his usual blank face. Hunny was excited and bouncing all over the room shouting "They're so cute together!" Kaoru was troubled. Why didn't his own twin feel comfortable enough to tell him that they were dating?
After Hikaru and Kaoru arrived at their house, Kaoru asked Hikaru, "Why didn't you tell me that you and Haruhi were dating?"
"What?" Hikaru asked surprised by the question.
"I know that you and Haruhi are dating, the entire host club knows," Kaoru said revealing the secret.
"How do you guys know?" Hikaru asked, stunned that they knew.
"You know Kyoya. He's got guys watching everyone. He has pictures of you and Haruhi on Saturday," Kaoru said plainly.
"I've gotta call Haruhi," Hikaru said quickly as if he was confused on which way to go to find a phone.
Hikaru ran down the hall way and found a phone. After dialing Haruhi's home phone number and getting a busy sound, he called her cell phone. "Haruhi, I need to talk to you; it's really important," Hikaru paused,"Everyone knows about us. Kyoya has pictures of us on Saturday."
"What?" Haruhi said shocked at the news she had just heard. "How did he get pictures?"
"You know Kyoya, he's got 'people' all over the place," Hikaru said as if Haruhi should be used to this by now. "What should we do?"
"We should probably tell them why we didn't tell them in the first place," Haruhi said, almost sounding guilty that they hadn't told their friends about their relationship.
"Yeah, we'll talk to them tomorrow. Sound good to you?" Hikaru asked.
"Yeah, sounds fine," Haruhi said in a monotone voice.
The next morning, Haruhi and Hikaru met at school early so that they could decide how to tell their friends. In the end, they decided to just skip to the point and tell them that the reason they didn't say anything was that they weren't sure how to say it. That and they weren't sure if they were going to become anything, they were in a sort of trail phase.
As the rest of the host club came into the room, Haruhi and Hikaru were waiting for them.
"Haruhi," Hunny said, trailing off had the end because he had remembered the reason why everyone was up tight.
"Why didn't you tell me Haruhi?" Tamaki said disappointed.
"Why do you have to make me feel so bad Tamaki? All I did was go out with Hikaru. It's not like you were going to ask me anytime soon. I can't wait around for you guys to ask me. Hikaru asked me and since none of you have said anything to me, I decided to go for it," Haruhi said, cracking in front of everyone.
Tamaki and the others looked surprised. The sweet and quiet girl they thought they knew was yelling at them. "I didn't know," Kyoya said, "I would never have guessed."
"We're sorry Haruhi," Hunny said remorsefully, "We didn't know how you felt. You never told us anything. If any of us had asked you and you said 'no', our relationship with you would never be the same."
"I just can't take it anymore. If you had asked me and I said no, I wouldn't like you or dislike you anymore or less," Haruhi said in a frustrated voice.
"I think now that we all know how each other feels, we can get along better," said Kyoya in a calming voice.
"Yeah," said Kaoru in a resentful voice.
