"He shoots!"

"He scores!"

The twins gave each other thumbs up as Tamaki and Haruhi ran up to them, panting.

"I think…we…should play…something other than basketball…Senpai," Haruhi clutched her chest, trying to regulate her breathing.

"Yes! Great…suggestion," Tamaki flipped his hair, still trying to catch some air. "Besides…Mori and…Hunny keep cheating!"

Haruhi looked over her shoulder to Hunny and Takashi. Takashi had Hunny up on his shoulders, and Hunny had an extra basketball. He dunked it through the hoop, which was an arm's length away from him, now that he was sitting on Takashi.

"Mother! I need a towel," Tamaki whined.

Kyouya threw him a towel, not even looking. It hit Tamaki's head, spinning around it.

"Ha-ha!" Haruhi put a hand over her mouth quickly.

Tamaki stared at her. The twins gazed at her, and Takashi almost dropped Hunny. Even Kyouya looked atop his laptop.

"Did you just laugh at our idiot tic move?" Tamaki gasped.

"Erm…no. It was a sneeze," Haruhi said quickly.

"Oh. Ok," Tamaki shrugged.

"That was not a sneeze, my lord!" Hikaru frowned. "It was a genuine Haruhi laugh!"

"It's not that big of a deal!" Haruhi said nervously.

"You've never laughed at us before," Kyouya cocked his head.

"Yeah, but"-

"YES?" Hunny and Kaoru said at the same time.

"Erm…"

"YES?"

"I'm going to get some air," Haruhi grabbed a nearby water bottle and walked out of the gym.

No one stopped her. They looked curiously, as she walked out.

-X-

The sea air licked Haruhi's face as she stood in her balcony, looking at the sunset. The day had passed by so quickly. She pursed her lips as she looked at her notebook. She was supposed to be studying, but the ocean was too much of a distraction. Haruhi set the notebook down. Her mind was filled with strange and tumbled thoughts.

No, Haruhi. I'm staying out here with you…

Those were Tamaki's words last night on the shore.

If you hadn't noticed, I love you…

Those were Kyouya's. Haruhi hugged her knees, staring at the ocean. The golden sun kissed the horizon, a light emitting from its lips.

"Who to choose…" Haruhi mumbled. "Well…Tamaki never said anything…Kyouya on the other hand went all out for it…"

She started remembering her first visits to the Ouran Club. Renge and her contacts. Tamaki's face and actions when he thought she was crying. The twins purposely pretending to be mad at each other. Hunny lost in Kyouya's family's estate. Takashi's tie to Hunny. Her dive into the ocean. Tamaki jumping in without hesitation after her, his carrying her carefully so she wouldn't fall back into the water. How Hikaru and Kaoru beat the living sockets out of the bullies.

Haruhi thought about it. All of Tamaki's actions indicated his love for her. So…did he really? And did he catch when she almost said she'd miss him?

Never wanted it to be so cold…

Haruhi shivered.

I can't hold on to me…wonder what's wrong with me?

Silent tears ran down her cheeks. She was so confused. She felt a dire pull to Tamaki and Kyouya. But they say you can only love once…

Drown my will to fly…here in the darkness, I know myself...

"Haruhi?" a voice asked.

Haruhi looked up. Tamaki was standing in the frame of the balcony doorway, staring at her. His mouth was slightly agape.

"Senpai…" Haruhi wiped the tears away from her cheeks quickly. The wind ruffled her hair slightly, leaving a cold feeling on her damp cheeks.

Bid my blood to run…before I come undone…

"Are you…crying?" Tamaki cocked his head.

"Um…I just put in my contacts," Haruhi shook her head. "It hurt me. You know. Irritation. I still don't know why I can't keep my grandpa's glasses,"

"They're two centuries old," Tamaki said plainly.

Frozen inside, without your touch…

"Please, you're exaggerating," Haruhi said dryly.

Tamaki shrugged. Haruhi shivered again.

"You cold?" he asked.

"A bit."

"You should come inside then," Tamaki chuckled.

Only you are the life among the dead…

"Um…when you get out…" Haruhi had a quick flash back to yesterday night.

"You're afraid I'll…" Tamaki didn't finish the sentence.

"…yeah," Haruhi said truthfully.

Tamaki nodded. He stepped back a single step and smiled. Holding out his hand he said, "Come…you have no need to be afraid from me…I promise,"

If I don't make it…someone else will stand my ground…

Haruhi looked at his hand.

"…" she took it slowly. Tamaki's hand grasped around hers leading her slowly into the room.

Haruhi stepped in, running to her closet and quickly pulling out a jacket. She wrapped it around her, still shivering.

"Haruhi…are you ok?" Tamaki asked, after locking the balcony.

Haruhi's teeth chattered slightly, but she nodded.

"I'm fine," she said.

Haruhi considered kicking Tamaki out now, to see his reaction, but she didn't want to. She was afraid he'd actually go.

"Do you want me to stay…leave?" Tamaki asked.

Wow. It's as if he had read her mind. Haruhi took a step closer to Tamaki.

Who can decide what they dream? And dream I do…I believe in you…I'll give up everything just to find you. I have to be with you, you to live, to breath…you're taking over me…

"Tama-san!" Haruhi threw her hands over Tamaki's waist, hugging him. She felt freezing. Cold. It was as if the icebergs of Greenland had come and taken a spot in her room.

Tamaki put his hand over her head and after a minute, he hugged her back.

I believe in you…I'll give up everything just to find you…I have to be with you…to live, to breath, you're taking over me!

"Tamaki…" Haruhi slowly slid to the floor. She felt dizzy.

"Haruhi?" Tamaki's voice had something like alarm or surprise. Which it was, Haruhi wasn't sure. She couldn't tell, as the world was spinning in her eyes.

"Haruhi…?"

Haruhi's eyes closed as she slumped to the floor, Tamaki still hanging on to her.
