"I hope you realize that you overreacted

"I hope you realize that you overreacted."

The third music room was now vacant, save for Kyouya and Tamaki. After Mori and Haruhi had left, Honey had gone after them. The guests had all left, so Kyouya had announced that the Host Club was officially closed for the day, and so, the twins and the freshmen promptly dispersed.

Tamaki was lying on one of the sofas, an arm dramatically draped over his eyes. Kyouya had sat by him, listening to his friend mutter and moan about how 'daughter' had gone behind his back, and how this was a travesty. Finally, when Kyouya realized that Tamaki would not discover his err on his own, he'd spoken.

Tamaki had raised his arm, looking up at Kyouya, his eyes wide. "Overreacted? How- she went- she lied to me, to Daddy!"

Not looking up from his notebook, Kyouya said, "I do hope you realize that you are not her father, and that you can't decide what she can and cannot do."

Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw Tamaki's jaw drop. "I- we are a family- I- I have fatherly feelings for her! She- she is like-"

"No," Kyouya said, looking up. "Tamaki, your feelings towards Haruhi are not of that of a father to a daughter."

Tamaki looked utterly perplexed. "But…it has to be…."

Kyouya sighed. For proclaiming everything he knew about love and romance, Tamaki could be so incredibly dense on the subject. "You like her." When that didn't seem to mean anything to his friend, he continued, "You have romantic feelings for her. And, it's because of those feelings that you reacted that way with Haruhi and Mori."

He paused a moment, letting his words sink in.

"I… How did you know?" Tamaki asked. "I do…. I do, but, how?"

"It was easy to see. But, let's return to the subject at hand. You overreacted to Mori and Haruhi. They are two people in love, are they not? And I seem to remember you always being very enthusiastic whenever we find two people in love; you want to help them. This…was not helping them. This was hindering."

"But-"

"You let your feelings for Haruhi get in the way of her happiness, Tamaki. Would you treat any other lady like that?"

Tamaki stared at him, and Kyouya smiled inwardly. His words were sinking in.

"No…I wouldn't…."

"Exactly. Now, I think it would be imperative of you to go and apologize to Haruhi, so that we don't accidentally lose our 'natural' type."

Tamaki nodded. "You're right, Kyouya; I'll talk to her tomorrow, and apologize."

Kyouya let a small smile grace his lips. This would work out perfectly. The way the girls had reacted to Haruhi and Mori…. If Mori came to the Host Club more often, to be near Haruhi, their profits would greatly increase.

Haruhi had been about to walk into her first period class when she felt someone grab her arm; it was Tamaki. Sighing, jerked her arm out of his grip. "I don't feel like a lecture right now," she said, a slight snap to her voice.

"I need to talk to you," Tamaki said, his voice soft. "Please."

Something about the way he'd so quietly asked her made her begrudgingly agree. She was sure he'd still go on about how she had betrayed him or whatever it was that he'd thought, but…his tone didn't match that.

"I'm sorry," he said. "For yesterday. I should not have said all that I said. You…are free to love whomever it is you love, and I hope that you are happy with Mori."

Haruhi blinked. She certainly hadn't been expecting an apology. "Ah…thank you, Tamaki…. But you should apologize to Takashi too, not just me."

Tamaki nodded. "Of course. Will he be coming to the Host Club today?"

"Um…. He's picking me up afterwards."

"Then I shall apologize then," Tamaki said with a smile.

Just then, the warning bell rang.

"I'll see you at the Host Club then."

Haruhi nodded. "All right, Tamaki."

As she walked into her first class, Haruhi couldn't help but wonder how on earth this had been settled so smoothly. She had a sneaking suspicion that Kyouya had had some sort of part in it.

I'm so sorry! This took me far too long to finish! I have been slacking in my writing lately, I know, and I am so sorry!

But, it's finished! I hope you enjoyed it!
