Chapter 7: Daddy-Daughter Night
Haruhi gave a small annoyed groan as she watched Ranka flip through the menu of their favorite spot to eat. She wasn't annoyed at her father, to an extent. She was moreso annoyed at the others and the fact that Marcus hadn't called her like he said he would once he got out of the shower. It had been an hour...no one takes a shower for a full hour, except Usada. She was also annoyed at the fact that he didn't tell her about those scars on his back like he had promised the night before. Haruhi sighed, frowning as she hid her face behind the menu.
"Haruhi, is everything ok?" Ranka asked curiously looking at his daughter. "You're not making up your mind on what you want to eat."
"Huh? Everything's fine dad…" Haruhi said softly.
"Are you sure?" Ranka asked curiously. "You seem like you don't want to be here….did you have other plans I interrupted? Are you having troubles with men?"
Haruhi stared at Ranka slack-jawed and her face flushed. "What?!" she cried. "Where did you get an idea like that from? Seriously Dad…!"
Ranka laughed. "You are having troubles with men," he noted. "My darling little Haruhi's growing up! But please talk to me."
"Dad, I'm not having any problems with men." Haruhi grumbled in annoyance. "All I'm thinking about is what I want to eat tonight...it's not like I'm waiting for a call or anything."
"Are you sure?" Ranka asked staring at her. "You're not one to space out."
Haruhi rolled her eyes. "I'm fine," she grumbled in annoyance before looking out of the window and groaning. Why in the world does everyone seem to want to pry into her life? She was old enough to maintain it after all.
"Ah, Miss Fujioka?" A waitress nervously approached the table with a drink on her platter that had a chocolate covered strawberry as a garnish. "Um...someone sent this drink over to you."
Haruhi blinked. "What?" she stared at the drink and looked around. "Um, who sent it?"
"Ah, a-a really handsome man with braids...but he told me to wait for you to get here?" the waitress blushed at the memory of the handsome stranger.
"Eh!?" Haruhi cried before groaning. "Is he still around here? Ugh, what the hell?"
"Ooh a drink," Ranka laughed. "You have a secret admirer Haruhi, wonder where he is...he must've liked you a lot to wait until you got here."
Haruhi groaned. "Ugh excuse me." she stood up and walked over to the restrooms silently cursing Marcus for being the type to surprise her with something so cheesy as a drink. When she returned she saw a large slice of strawberry shortcake at her place.
"What the hell?!" Haruhi cried before blinking as she saw a note and groaned grabbing it and looking at it.
Eat enough sweets for me Baby Girl. I want you happy before tonight.
-Daddy.
"Seriously…" Haruhi blushed before looking around again to find Marcus. She really didn't want him to think he was going to win.
She blinked when she noticed that Ranka wasn't at the table. She scanned the room, spotting her father's dark red hair at the bar, leaning close and flirting with another man. Damn his big head for blocking the man's face.
"So you're from America?" Ranka asked. "That's really interesting, I speak a little English myself since my daughter lived there for a few years."
"You have a daughter?" the man asked with a laugh as he took his second glass of whiskey that the bartender handed him. "You look about as old as my older brother."
Ranka blushed. "Really? Thank you!" he smiled and waved. "Oh, Haruhi! Come over and meet my new friend!"
Haruhi blinked. "Marcus?!"
"Did you enjoy the cake and drink?" Marcus asked Haruhi with a smile while slowly licking his drink from his lips.
Haruhi blushed. "That was you?" she said softly turning a bright crimson red. "Ahem...so you were talking to my dad?"
"You know each other?" Ranka asked. "Haruhi, why didn't you tell me?"
"I..um...well…" Haruhi blushed more. "I'll explain another time. Come on dad go order."
"I didn't know he was your dad." Marcus chuckled. "And you two could join me at my table, it's through those doors over there."
"Well, I don't know it's supposed to be our-."
"We'd love to!" Ranka said. "I'd like to talk to you about how you know my Haruhi. I do need to know all of her friends."
Marcus laughed softly. "We can talk later if you two wanna have your night alone."
"Haruhi doesn't mind!" Ranka said brightly. "Come on let's have a chat."
Marcus turned to Haruhi. "Well?"
"Fine…" Haruhi said quietly. "Well eat dinner together...just once…."
"Great!" Ranka said with a smile. "Now, Marcus tell me where did you meet Haruhi?"
"We met in Boston actually," Marcus said simply. "I was brought on by the college to be their assistant athletic coordinator and physical trainer for the athletes. I ran into Haruhi when she was out with her friends."
"You did?" Ranka asked with a smile. "And why'd you come to Japan if you had a great job?"
"It was only for the semester and I had got a better offer from this place called Ouran University. I'm supposed to do a walk through tour next week after I settle in."
Haruhi stared at him. "Wha?" she cried. "Wait you can't be working there...I mean...oh god are you serious!?"
"What's wrong with me working there? It's a good job."
"No reason…" Haruhi let out a silent curse at seeing him around on campus. She was still working to get her bachelor's in law...so that meant they'd run into each other.
"They also asked me to coach the football team."
"You play football?" Ranka asked curiously.
"Led my team to nationals every year in high school and college."
"And you've finished college already?" Ranka asked. "You look so young."
Marcus laughed. "I'm not that young compared to Haruhi. I'm almost twenty-five."
"You're kidding," Ranka said in surprise. "I assumed you were the same age as my Haruhi."
Marcus laughed. "Once upon a time." He pulled his phone out and showed Ranka a picture of him at his twenty-first birthday party and then one of him at his eighteenth. "See?"
"Oh my, you are a handsome one even back then." Ranka laughed. "You're a perfect fit for my Haruhi."
"Dad!" Haruhi cried.
Marcus chuckled gently. "I think so too. That's why I asked her to be my girlfriend when we met up here in Japan last night."
"You did?" Ranka's eyes widened. "Haruhi how could you not tell me?!"
"Because it wasn't your business," Haruhi mumbled in annoyance. "Anyway, dad now that you met him we can go."
"I thought we were going to enjoy a meal together."
"Um...not now...we should...uh…" Haruhi merely grabbed Ranka and dragged him with her and out of the restaurant blushing bright red. Damn that Sakurai...damn him and his charm.
"Haruhi what about?" Ranka began.
"We'll order in," Haruhi said blushing. "Come on."
Marcus shook his head with a laugh and waved a waitress over to wrap up the cake so he could bring it to her later.
"Damn that Sakurai…" Haruhi hissed once she walked up the long driveway back to Romey and Kaoru's mansion. She had gotten her dad to finally let her leave when she promised to make it up to him another day. Looking up the pathway she let out a loud curse when she saw Marcus on the doorstep.
Marcus turned around and smiled at Haruhi, showing her the box of cake that was held up as a peace offering.
"You brought me cake…" Haruhi whispered. "What are you doing here? Did you want to...tell me how dumb my friends are?"
"I was just gonna give you this cake as an apology for interruptin' you and your old man," he said with a small smile.
Haruhi blinked. "Oh um thanks…" she said softly taking the box. "So um...do you want to...maybe join me? I can make some tea."
"I'm pretty sure your friends don't want me back in their house."
"No no they do," Haruhi said. "If they don't then they're jerks for keeping you out because of what happened."
"Haruhi, I was a little at fault too." He admitted softly.
"What? No no you weren't." Haruhi said. "They barged in and attacked you."
"Yeah but I shouldn't have torn their shit up…" Marcus shook his head and then lowered his voice. "To be honest, I had a flashback when they did that."
"What?" Haruhi asked staring at him. "What kind of flashback?"
"I got jumped back in high school towards the end of my senior year," he said with a shrug. "Bunch of dudes I thought were my friends set me up and then jumped me. That's how I got all those scars on my back and chest."
"I...I'm so sorry…" Haruhi whispered softly. "I'm so sorry that happened to you...my friends made you relive the horror."
"It's fine, they ain't know…" Marcus looked at the ground quietly for a moment. "I should get goin', I'll call you later babe."
Haruhi shook her head. "No...No...don't go," she said taking his hand. "Stay with me."
"You sure?"
"Yes…" Haruhi said as she wrapped her arms around his waist and laid her head against his back.
Marcus sighed softly and patted her arms gently. "Let's go inside, it looks like it wants to rain."
"Rain?" Haruhi said softly. "Yeah, great idea."
Marcus patted her arms again and waited for her to unlock the door. Little did either of them know that Romey and Kaoru had been eavesdropping before scrambling away at the sound of the locks clicking open.
"So, um...you want to stay down in the living room or um...go to my room?" Haruhi asked softly.
"Whatever you feel like Baby Girl."
Haruhi nodded. "Let's go upstairs," she said leading him up to her room. "Good night Kaoru and Romey! I know you two were spying."
"We don't know what you're talking about Haruhi-dear!"
"Yeah, we were walking past!"
"Whatever." Haruhi shook her head and sighed. "Sorry about them Marcus."
"It's fine." Marcus kissed her forehead before sitting on her bed with a small sigh.
"So, what else about your past do you want to tell me?" Haruhi asked sitting on the bed with a small smile. "I'd like to know a bit more about you...I mean we're dating after what? Three weeks?"
"I thought it was almost two months." Marcus laughed softly. "What do you want to know? I told you a bit back in Boston."
Haruhi smiled. "Well, I want to know more about your life as a non-rich bastard."
He snorted. "What you talkin' about babe?"
"Well, your sisters said you guys lived...uh sort of like I did?" Haruhi said quietly. "You know...like a commoner?"
"Oh yeah, that was before they came here. We lived with our grandmother for the longest until she passed. Kenji helped me take care of them until he had to leave to go to college so it was just me takin' care of them." He laughed softly as he laid back with his head in Haruhi's lap. "It was hard, sometimes I didn't eat so they could."
"What? You didn't?" Haruhi asked. "So you went without a meal? Why didn't you guys go live with your parents?"
"Ego. Pride. I thought I could take care of 'em on my own."
"And yet you went without eating," Haruhi shook her head. "You know...if you lived as normal people for so long...how'd you guys pay for things? I mean it's hard for teenagers to live and take care of themselves without money."
"I worked two to three jobs and hustled on the side." Marcus shrugged. "Would get up early, go to work down at some of the fresh markets helping farmers unload their goods. Then after school and after football practice I'd go and bus tables at two restaurants until they closed."
Haruhi went silent and looked at him. "But wait...when I met your sisters in high school...Usada had a career and China-chan was with your parents...did you guys finally relent and get their help?"
"Yeah. It was after I broke my leg and couldn't work for a few months. But before all of that and them steppin' in me and the Chupacabra had dragged Bunny to a talent scout and made her audition. We figured they'd take a small cute girl singin' over me and the Chupacabra any day."
"Seriously? You probably would've made it." Haruhi said with a small smile. "I mean Usada's cute but she's not small."
"Height-wise she is." Marcus shook his head. "And I knew she'd make it. When Granmere was alive she had all of us singin' in church and then I kept helpin' her with her scales and singin'."
Haruhi shook her head. "I still think you probably should've gone on to be the one," she said. "Usada deserved to be a normal high school girl. She needed her brother to care for her."
"If I did I wouldn't have been able to take care of either of 'em." Marcus pointed out. "She wasn't alone on the road, Lotte and Kenji went with her as assistant and bodyguard. I visited her when I could and I made sure she had enough breaks to completely rest and relax. It's not easy tryin' to choose the lesser of two evils."
"That explains so many scandals being avoided," Haruhi said with a small smile. "Even dategate."
Marcus laughed and looked up at Haruhi. "What about you?"
"Well let's see I grew up with a dad who used to work at a store to support me," Haruhi said. "After my mom died of illness...it was hard for him to raise someone like me...I was independent...I didn't want help. I even did all of the shopping for us."
"Is that all?"
"I mean I applied to attend Ouran Academy on my own." Haruhi shrugged. "And I even aced the exams to get in...I did all of it to be a lawyer like my mom."
"Did you want to be a lawyer though? When I was that young I just wanted to eat all of granmere's chitlins."
"Yeah, I've wanted to be a lawyer for as far back as I could remember," Haruhi said quietly. "I wanted to be like my mom."
"It's good to have a goal," Marcus noted before sitting up and reaching for the cake Haruhi had set on the nightstand. He turned to face Haruhi as he opened up the box, dipping a finger in and scooping the icing off.
Haruhi watched him and smiled softly. "I mean as a kid I did want to be a firefighter, a pilot, and a mortician."
"A mortician?" His words were muffled as he licked the icing off his finger and looked at her mid-lick.
"Yeah, I thought it was kind of cool." Haruhi shrugged. "I mean it wasn't creepy or scary...and I always thought I'd be good at it."
Marcus shook his head with a small laugh, licking icing from the corner of his mouth. Haruhi watched him a moment before blushing.
"So, um...did you ever be...um...did you ever be the daddy in the relationship with Usada?" Haruhi turned bright red. "Ah...I didn't...umn...ignore that."
"To answer your question, yes." He said unabashedly as he picked off one of the strawberries and ate it slowly.
Haruhi blushed. "Oh...you like girls to be your...little girls?" she snorted. "That's kind of kinky."
Marcus snorted. "I've had big little girls too, it just takes a little finesse and Southern charm." As he spoke, he let his Southern accent become prominent.
"Oh...um…" Haruhi blushed more and shuddered. "You're so...um…." she froze up and squeaked when she heard thunder outside.
Marcus blinked and wrapped his arms around Haruhi when he saw her jump at more thunder. He pulled her into his lap and leaned back against the headboard.
"I'm sorry…" Haruhi whispered. "It's just…" she froze up and held his shirt tightly burying her head into his chest.
"Don't be," he said softly as he rubbed her back. "Just focus on my breathin' okay?"
Haruhi nodded quietly. "Marcus…" she whispered. "I hate storms."
"I figured…" He smiled and kept rubbing her back. "But you're safe right here in my arms Baby Girl."
Haruhi nodded and curled up to him before she yelped out at the sound of thunder again. Marcus wrapped his arms around her tighter, moving her head to lay on his chest. She felt him move to lay back more as a soft and soothing sound started to filter down to her ears.
Haruhi stayed silent listening to him singing as she curled up to his chest as she looked up at him. He looked down at Haruhi and smiled as he kept singing to her, his deep melodic voice filling her ears and forcing the ongoing storm to the back of her mind.
Haruhi looked up at him and kissed him gently. His hand moved to the back of her head, cradling it as he returned the kiss with interest.
Haruhi looked at him and whispered. "Marcus...make love to me…"
He looked down at her and smiled as he rolled Haruhi on her back and kissed her once more. This kiss was different from the others; soft and tender like his lips, the kiss was also warm and loving. He held her close as he shifted to lay between her legs, pushing their upper bodies close as his tongue played with hers.
Haruhi kissed Marcus back, her hands came to rest on his cheeks as she held his head closer to hers. She pulled away from him and stared deeply into his eyes. He looked down at her and smiled softly, kissing her softly as his hand stroked over her lower back.
Through the kiss, Haruhi gave a soft squeak at the sound of the thunder outside. She buried her head into Marcus's chest and held back a whimper.
"Shh, just focus on me," he whispered as he tilted her head up and kissed her again.
She whimpered through the kiss but focused all of her attention on Marcus's lips, the way his hands tenderly touched her and the heat that spoke of his breath on hers. Every bit of her wanted him to make her forget the storm...to make it so his love was the only thing she'd feel and hear.
He pulled away from her lips to kiss her neck. He kissed down it slowly, his hands running up her chest slowly as he did so. His hands slowly crept up to her chest, groping her breasts over her bra as his hips pressed into Haruhi's slowly.
"Marcus…" Haruhi whispered softly, she ran her hands down to his pants and grabbed his member through it.
"Mm," he grunted into her neck as he pulled away and kissed her. "What are you doin' babe?" he asked with a soft chuckle as he pushed further into her hand.
Haruhi smiled and began stroking him gently. She glanced up into his face and smiled. "Do you like that?" her other hand came up to his face and she captured his lips in another kiss.
He moaned out softly into the kiss, grinding his hips up into her hands. Haruhi's hands sped up along his length and she smiled softly.
"Daddy…" She said softly in his ear. "You're getting so big."
"It's your fault," he chuckled softly, leaning his forehead on hers. He pushed her shirt up under her neck and pulled her bra down. He kissed her again before leaning his head down to suck on the perky pink nipples.
Haruhi glared up at him and unzipped his pants and pulled them down in one swift motion with his underwear. She began to moan out at his lips on her nipples. He chuckled, looking up at her defiantly as he twirled his tongue around each.
"Mmn...Marcus…" Haruhi whined out before she yelped out when the thunder struck again.
He gently bit down, tugging just as gentle with his teeth while his other hand slipped into her pants and rubbed over her folds slowly.
Haruhi whimpered softly. "Marcus…"
"That's right, think of me," he coached as he kissed down her body, feathering them across her pubic bone as he pulled her pants and panties down over her hips. He dipped his head between her legs, kissing at her pearl slowly as his fingers entered her slowly.
"Mmn…" Haruhi moaned out softly, her hands moved to grasp his member and she started to stroke him slowly again.
She could hear him groan against her pearl, licking and sucking on it slowly as he thrusted his fingers into her quickly.
Haruhi moaned and shuddered more. She gasped out louder as thunder rolled. She gasped in shock and fear when the lights went out. "Marcus…" she whimpered out.
"Shh, I'm right here." He whispered to her.
She could feel the weight of his body on hers and the heat of his member as it rested on the inside of her thigh. She felt his kisses on her temple as he held her close, his cologne wafting into her nostrils. He pressed his lips to hers, holding her as his member entered her slowly. He kept whispering to her as he held her close.
Haruhi closed her eyes and whined softly as she felt him enter her. She shuddered against Marcus's body and held him tightly to hers. Her whole body heated up from being joined with him as her walls stretched around him again.
With every thrust she could hear him whispering "I'm right here" into her ear as their bodies sunk deeper into the mattress.
She moaned out his name quietly all the while pulling him closer with her legs. Haruhi whimpered each time the thunder rolled. She pulled Marcus closer to her and whimpered more as tears rolled down her cheeks.
He kissed away her tears, holding her close to him as he thrust into her faster. "I'll protect you," he promised her in a soft whisper.
Haruhi whined out more and closed her eye grasping his shoulders. She felt her body heat up from his thrusts as they increased. She cried out louder and held back another scream as she tightened around him.
"Go ahead...we have all night together."
Haruhi held him closer and whined. "Not until you're close…" she whispered.
He smiled, kissing her passionately as he started to thrust into her harder and deeper, his thrusts staying slow though.
"Marcus…" Haruhi whimpered out softly as she tightened around him and bit his shoulder.
"Damn babe…" he groaned softly as he started thrusting faster.
"Marcus...I need you…" Haruhi whined out and released over his member. She whimpered out more and kissed him deeply.
He smiled against her lips, returning the kiss as he continued to thrust into her. He groaned at feeling his member swell and throb within her walls.
"Haruhi…"
Haruhi pulled him into a kiss and held him tightly against her. Her arms wrapping around his neck and resting on his shoulders. She could feel his body shaking and the goosebumps rise on his skin, he groaned out a warning into her mouth as his hips started to jerk and spasm.
Haruhi's eyes closed and she held Marcus tighter to her whimpering out softly at his member throbbing within her.
"Haruhi...I gotta pull out…let go of my waist..."
Haruhi gasped out loudly as she shuddered against him, she couldn't hear his words over the strong beating of her heart. "I love you…"
"I love you too, Haruhi let…" his voice shuddered and his sentence was lost to a loud groan as his cum spilled into her.
Haruhi looked up at him and kissed him passionately before her legs unclasped themselves from his waist. He returned the kiss as his hands rubbed over her thighs gently.
"Bad girl," he teased as he kissed her gently. "I told you to let go."
"I couldn't help it…" Haruhi whispered. "I didn't want you to leave me."
"Mmhmm," he shook his head and kissed her again as he pulled out of her slowly.
Haruhi shuddered and quickly buried her face into his chest when she heard thunder again.
"Shh," he whispered as he rubbed her back and held her close.
Haruhi buried her face into his chest and whimpered softly against his chest as she looked up at him. "I love you...I hope you always protect me…" she whispered and closed her eyes.
He smiled and kissed the top of her head before moving themselves under the covers. He laid back and rubbed over her back, singing softly to her before falling asleep himself.
