Oooh my am I getting sloppy with updating!
Hunny sighed contently as he put down his fork. All the guests had left 15 minutes ago and in that time he was able to scarf down four slices of cake.
The boy Lolita had somehow convinced Tamaki to come and have some cake with him. Hunny had noticed secretly that the prince had seemed a little moody lately and thought he might cheer him up with something sweet. Tamaki was washing down a slice of strawberry cake with a cup of tea. He then placed the cup down and got up to grab his bag.
"Well I'd better be going. " He gave a small wave and headed for the door. Tamaki had gotten one hand on the door handle before he heard a voice behind him.
"Not so fast, Tamaki." Kyoya piped up, writing in his little black notebook. "There's been a change in plans." In confusion, Tamaki stopped and looked over at him. So did all the other hosts, including the twins who had been told to act surprised.
"Kyoya-Senpai, what are you talking about?" asked a curious Haruhi. The Shadow King shut his notebook and smiled mischievously.
"Oh, I just thought we could have some fun, is all. A little game, perhaps?"
Tamaki had never been more confused. "Game?"
"Yes, Tamaki, a game. You know how you have an obsession with commoner's games?" This caused the blond-haired boy 's face to light up. "Well I thought about it and decided that we oughta try a game out before playing it with our guests. We'll all sit down here on the floor and play a little game called Truth of Dare for about an hour. What do you guys say?"
The twins looked at each other, obvious hunger and excitement in their eyes. Honey just shrugged as he got up from his chair. Mori followed him. Tamaki, his excitement growing, skipped over to the spot where they'd be playing. Haruhi sighed.
"Let's just get this over with…please…"
Once all the hosts were seated in a circle, Kyoya tucked his black book away and stared across the circle. "Alright, Hikaru. You can either pick Truth and answer my question without any lies, or pick Dare and I'll give you a dare to do. Take your pick."
Hikaru thought for a moment. "Truth!"
"Alright. Let's see….have you ever, not in front of our guests, made out with your brother."
Hikaru turned to look at his blushing twin before answering. "Yeah, there have been times Kaoru and have made out." He grinned sheepishly.
Kyoya smiled. "Alright, Hikaru, now it's your turn to pick. Ask anyone truth or dare."
Hikaru looked around. As everyone would've suspected, he picked his twin. "Kaoru, truth or dare?"
"Dare!"
"Ok…" he looked around once more, his eyes falling on Haruhi. "I dare you to kiss Haruhi!"
The rest of club instantly all turned to look at her. Haruhi appeared to be surprised, but other than that not entirely shaken. Tamaki, on the other hand was one shaken as his mind went into overdrive again.
This can't be happening! Tonight was to be the night! I was going to tell her I love her tonight! No!
"So…Haruhi?" Kaoru asked moving closer. "You ready?" She shrugged.
"Well it's just a silly little game right?" she reasoned out loud.
"Just for a second."
Tamaki's mind was reeling. Haruhi, don't do it! I should speak up for her! No, I shouldn't it would make me look stupid! But what if I don't and they fall in love, I can't let that happen, either!
He didn't have any more time to think about it; in the next three seconds, Kaoru and Haruhi had kissed. Tamaki felt his heart pounding out of his chest as he awaited her reaction. The room was silent for a moment that seemed to last forever.
Breaking the silence, Haruhi whispered. "That…felt…amazing…Kaoru? Can we do that again?" and the twin happily acquiesced.
While all the other members of the Host Club "aww'd" and clapped, Tamaki felt the room spinning.
"Haruhi…" Kaoru breathed in between kisses. "I guess this means…we're going out, huh?"
No!
She nodded with enthusiasm.
No! This isn't happening! Please tell me this isn't happening!
The two of them went into the back room to kiss a little more, leaving Tamaki to wallow in his dispair. When they came out 15 mintues later, Kaoru had a big smile on his face.
"Attention everyone!" All the people in the room turned to look at him and it grew silent. All of a sudden, as if by magic, the club room had been filled with guests and they were all being entertained before the inturuption. Tamaki found himself seated on a couch in between two guests instead of on the floor where he was a moment ago. "After two years of dating, Haruhi and I have decided that when we gradute this year, we are...to be married!"
The girls applauded like mad. Tamaki's face fell.
Wait..two years...shouldn't I have graduated already?
"Well now that she's unavailable for good, you thinking of graduating this time, boss?" Hikaru asked from nearby.
"What?"
"Don't you remember? After they began dating you fell into such a depression that you failed your second year! You had to repeat it! Kyoya, Mori and Hunny have already graudated!"
Tamaki glanced around, suddenly seeing the newest Host Club members. He felt the room spinnging again. He felt sick to his stomach. Not knowing what to do, he scrunched his eyes shut. When he opened them, the Hosts- the original ones- were staring at him. It took the Prince a moment to realize he had fallen backwards onto the floor, right in the spot where he had been. The whole thing was just in his head.
"Senpai?" questioned Haruhi as the embarrassed boy sat himself up.
"I'm ok, I just had a…a moment…" He forced a smile and laugh to try to convince the others, but they all continued to stare at him. Finally, he sighed as his face turned bright red. "Um…carry on…with the…game thing…"
Kaoru shrugged "Alright! My turn now! Haruhi, truth or dare?" The game continued on from there like nothing had happened. Tamaki then realized he was holding his breath. Letting it out slowly, he smiled to himself.
It was just my over-active imagination once again! I still have a chance!
The hosts continued to play for an hour; they got so wrapped up in the game they lost track of time. Pretty soon all it became was dares! Those were too darn fun! After a while, however, they started to run out of dares.
It was Tamaki's turn and he was having trouble picking a good dare for Haruhi; one that wouldn't offend her. "Haruhi, I dare you to kiss someone!"
She glanced his way. "Who?"
"Anyone. I don't care."
She chuckled. "You just want to kiss me, don't you, Senpai." He froze. "It's fine with me!"
"Come on, boss, we all know!" Hikaru chimed in.
Tamaki sighed. "Alright then. Haruhi, I dare you to kiss me!"
And so without any hesitation, she leaned in. Neither of them was experienced in the way of kissing and it made it severely awkward, yet still enjoyable. They broke away after a few seconds, but to Tamaki that beautiful moment he'd so long awaited for seemed to have lased forever. Oh how he wished it would have!
The other hosts were watching the pair; well all accept for Kyoya who was writing in his book once again.
"Well, well, tonight sure showed some interesting developments after all…"
"Wow, Haru-chan! I never thought you two would actually kiss!" Hunny piped up.
"Mm." Mori agreed. Haruhi laughed.
"Oh come on, you guys! We only kissed!" But no matter what she said, even Haruhi herself couldn't deny the fact that something was beginning; something different than she'd ever felt before.
Don't get him wrong; Ranka had noticed how much happier Haruhi had seemed ever since she and Tamaki had begun hanging out, but that still didn't mean he was totally happy about leaving them alone together when he had to work overtime later that week.
"Now Haruhi, remember where that bottle of pepper spray is!" Ranka muttered to Haruhi as he was leaving for the evening. It was just after dinner and Haruhi was trying to get her father to leave already and go to work.
"Dad, I'll see you tomorrow morning! Bye!"
"I'm just trying to make sure you're safe, Haruhi!" She nudged him the rest of the way out the door.
"And remember where my work number is!" He was practically clinging to the doorway.
"Bye, dad!" She shut the door before looking at Tamaki, who was patiently waiting on the couch. With a small smile, she joined him.
"So, Haruhi…what do you want to do?" he asked after a tentative moment.
"Since our homework's done, I guess we could just watch some TV for a while." Haruhi was never one for "hanging out" and neither was he. They both were completely unsure of what to do.
They spent the next half hour flipping through channels; nothing was really on. They came across some odd game show and decided to try to guess the answers. Getting bored of that pretty quickly, they turned off the TV and stared at the blank screen.
"Oh wow look at this great movie!" Tamaki joked, pointing at their reflection in the screen. She giggled.
"Oh my god, those actors look just like us!"
"Yeah and look they're doing exactly what we're doing!" He reached over to her other shoulder and poked her. She did the same to him. They soon realized they had their arms around each other. Chuckling nervously, they pulled back.
There was a stale silence in the room as the tensions built. Trying to figure out something to do with her hands, Haruhi grabbed a nearby pillow and began flipping it.
"So…you wanna go out with me?" the words just dropped from her mouth.
Confused on how this fits into the story? It'll all make sense soon!
I'd like 6-7 reviews before my next update!
