Add Some Honey


It wouldn't be a lie to say that Haruhi was relieved, when Laurette called her, to tell her she was needed back in the office. Haruhi doesn't have a problem with two women that could be dating, because that is their own personal choice, it just gets awkward when one of the women continuously compliments the other, sometimes mid-conversation. There was nothing interesting at work, just that one of her clients had come to the office, with more evidence for their case. They had hired a private investigator, to take some photos.

Haruhi completely forgot that Kyoya was coming around for dinner, on the drive home. She was that tired, that she planned to eat something simple for dinner, have a long soak in the bath, then go right to sleep. The last thing she expected, was to be tackled to the ground halfway down the hallway, and hear "Haru-chan!" being shouted.

"Hi... Honey-senpai..." Haruhi muttered, looking up at the loli-boy that was on top of her hugging her.

"Haru-chan, you look so cute in your suit!" Honey said, hugging her tighter. Usa-chan was starting to dig into her waist.

"Honey, could you at least let her get through the door, before you hug her?" Haruhi looked over, and saw Reiko, Honey's wife, stood in the door way.

Honey laughed, climbed off Haruhi, then rushed into the dining room cheering something about cake. Haruhi got up off the floor and began collecting the papers that had fallen out of her briefcase, during the whole Honey tackling her thing.

"Hey, Reiko. How's the baby?" Haruhi asked, remembering that Reiko must be about 8 1/2 months pregnant by now.

"Fine. I'm having a girl," Reiko replied, while resting her hand on her baby bump.

"That's great!" Haruhi said, happily.

Haruhi put the papers back in her briefcase, making a mental note to reorganise them later, when Honey was gone. Deciding that it would be best to change out of her work clothes, before greeting her guests - even though she'd already received Honey's greeting, she walked up the stairs, to her office, to put her briefcase on her desk, then write a quick note to remind herself to reorganise her papers, in case she forgot. There wasn't any matches on that dating site, when she checked on the computer, so Haruhi left her office. Haruhi changed into something smart, but comfortable. Ryoji was talking away about work, then laughing in his usual flamboyant way, to Kyoya, Honey and Reiko.

"Hey, Kyoya, I didn't know you were here," Haruhi said, as she sat down at the table next to her father.

"I did tell you that Kyoya was coming, Sweetie, did you forget?" Ryoji said. "That is my Haruhi, such a hard worker, working so hard, that she forgets things. Kotoko was exactly the same."

"We stopped by, because we had something we wanted to ask you, Haru-chan," Honey said, with his usual air of cuteness and energeticness. He then goggled up a peice of cake. "Our baby is due soon, and we want you to be the godmother."

"Wow, um.. thank you. I would love to be your baby's godmother," Haruhi said, surprised and a tad taken back. She wasn't expecting this at all.

"Takashi is going to be the godfather," Honey added.

Ryoji left them to talk, so he could go cook dinner. He didn't want to make Haruhi do it, because he knew that she had had a long day busy day at work, he could tell by how tired she looked. Haruhi and Reiko discussed baby names, while Honey talked to Kyoya about how he needed to look for a new house, for him, Reiko and the baby to live in, because it was getting crowded at the Haninozuka house now that his brother was getting married soon to.

"That is great, that Yasuchika is getting married," Haruhi said, upon hearing about Yasuchika's good news. "Tell him that I said hello, and I wish him all the happiness in the world."

"I will do! I'll tell him right after special cake night," Honey said, smiling.

"Oh, you still have those?" Haruhi asked. Honey hadn't changed a bit since high school. He was a lot like Tamaki, in the not growing up fashion.

"Still? My Honey-Bunny has them every single night. Because I can't eat cake, because I'm only eating healthy foods," Reiko said. "I make cake, and Honey happily eats it."

"I'm eating for three!" Honey said, like that was something to be proud of.

"Sorry Kyoya, we've completely ignored you," Reiko said, apologetically. "How was your trip?"

"It was quite enjoyable," Kyoya replied. He glanced over at the door, to see Ryoji carrying a tray with cups of tea and some cake into the dining room. "London is very beautiful, and the history there was most interesting to learn about."

"Kyoya was nice enough to bring us a souvenir back," Ryoji told Haruhi, as he set the tray down on the table.

Kyoya told them all about the trip during dinner, Haruhi was happy for him, when he mentioned meeting a woman, that he planned to keep in touch with. It was nice to see Kyoya happy, and everyone knew that he deserved it. He had worked so hard, for so long, that he had almost forgotten to actually have fun. When the time came, that Honey and Reiko had to leave, Haruhi walked them to the door.

"Thanks for stopping by, I seems like I hardly get to see everyone anymore," Haruhi said, honestly.

"You should have dinner with us, at the Haninozuka estate, as thanks," Reiko suggested.

"That would be great," Haruhi said, with a smile.

"Visit us tomorrow, Haru-chan," Honey said.

Haruhi made her apologies to Kyoya and her father, once Honey and Reiko were gone, because she was so tired. Deciding that it would be best to check her emails one last time, before going to sleep, Haruhi walked up stairs to her office. She had one email from Hikaru, in the email, he mentioned that they would be coming home soon. That made her happy, because she did miss them very much. Just as she was about to log off, Haruhi decided to check that website. To her surprise, she had a match '42820', and a message from that person.


To: 21410
From: 42820

Hey 21410, looks like we're a match. (Did you notice that my number is actually double yours?)

Sorry if I seem a little over enthusiastic, this whole dating site thing is new to me. I only joined, so my father would get off my case, and stop setting me up with women.

Wow, you must think I sound crazy. I'll stop talking about my family. So, how are you? Your profile says you're a lawyer, how is work?

Sincerely, 42820.


Haruhi smiled as she read it. They did appear to be a nice person, she could tell that she would enjoy getting to know them. She wouldn't meet them right away, because that would take away the fun of getting to know this person for who they are on the inside, before actually meeting them. Haruhi began typing a response.


To: 42820
From: 21410

Nice to meet you, 42820!

Don't worry about it, I was a bit anxious about joining myself. My assistant suggested it to me - I was sceptical, considering she spends most of the day on them. If she even knew that I joined, I would never hear the end of it. I know about interfering parents. My father is trying to set me up with a friend of mine, that he's always liked. I keep telling him that I don't see my friend that way, but he never listens.

Work is stressful. Just when I think that I'll get time to myself, there's a whole other case that I have to work on. Can't say that I dislike that, because I knew what I was getting myself in for, when I began my law degree. But, sometimes, I need to vent.

I look forward to getting to know you.

Haruhi sent the message, then logged off the computer. She had to admit, it was nice to have someone to talk to, that was an outsider to her life. After logging off the computer, Haruhi walked to her room, glad that she could finally get a good night's sleep.


A/N: Sorry to dissapoint all you Haruhi/Honey fans, but to me Honey only ever did belong with Reiko. They are one of my favourite pairings in the manga, and I was so sad that it didn't make it into the anime. There's still an equal chance that she could end up with one of the other hosts, because for now, it's still undecided. Hope you enjoy reading, and until my next update, adieu!
