Next day, Honey was skipping down the hallway, without a care in the world. He knocked on Lenne's door to see if she wanted to eat breakfast with him. There wasn't a response though.
He knocked again and called out to her, "Lenne-chan?"
Again there was no response. He began to get worried and so he opened the door and peeked in. She still wasn't in view. Becoming even more worried, he went into the room and began searching. He shortly found her. She was between the wall and the bed curled up.
He sat in front of her and whispered, "Lenne-chan..?"
She slowly raised her head and looked at him. Her eyes were bloodshot, her cheeks were tearstained, she just looked like a total disaster. Right away his eyes began to water. He held her as tightly as he could, being careful not to hurt her. She looked down at him. He looked up at her, ready to cry himself. She smiled bitterly and ruffled his hair.
He stood up saying, "I'll be right back."
She nodded very slightly and rested her head on the wall. Honey ran outside the room and pulled his phone out. While rubbing his eyes with his arm he called his cousin.
He answered almost immediately, "Mitsukuni?"
"Takashi... It's Lenne-chan... She's been crying all night, I don't think she slept at all... I don't want to leave her all alone when we're at school..."
"Call Tamaki."
"Okay..."
He hung up and called Tamaki. It took him a little longer to answer but he did with, "Honey-sempai? Is something wrong?" He told Tamaki exactly what he just told Mori. "Bring her to school with you. She can sleep in the club room then we'll do our best to help her after."
"Okay... Thank you Tama-chan."
Honey put his phone away and went back into the room. He went back over to Lenne and she barely glanced at him. It was obvious she was passed exhaustion. Any other time he would be amused that she was wearing his cousin's clothing but right now all he wanted was to see her smile. He held onto her good arm and helped her stand up. Right away she collapsed onto the bed. He sighed and sat on the bed next to her. He would have no problem carrying her but he didn't want to hurt her. He knew that if he just waited that Mori would look for him. However, he didn't want to worry him so he took his phone back out. Right when he was calling, Mori entered the room. He walked over and looked down at the two.
"She's wearing my clothes," he simply said.
"She probably just looked for the easiest thing to change into," Honey said. "Well, she just fell asleep so she's not changing now. Tama-chan said to bring her with us and let her sleep in the club room."
Mori nodded and he picked her up. Her head fell comfortably on his shoulder. They left the room and went downstairs. They soon left the home and made their way to the waiting limo. As usual, Honey went ahead and he jumped inside. His cousin sat inside and the door closed after him. Soon, he noticed that his shoulder was getting moist and he looked down at Lenne. Even in her sleeping state she was still shedding tears. Honey looked over and frowned when he saw that.
"Poor Lenne-chan..." he whispered.
He grabbed a tissue and wiped away her tears. That didn't help much since new tears fell right after. Even though she was sleeping he still hugged her, wanting her to feel better. The rest of the drive was like this until they reached Ouran Academy. Honey got off Lenne and Mori got out. Immediately, all the girls nearby looked at them. Lenne would feel like she was being stabbed to death just by their glares if she was awake. Honey shortly got out and waved at the girls like any other day. He then caught up to his cousin and they went inside the school. Mori really didn't care about all the looks he was getting while Honey was trying to make it so that that the girls didn't murder Lenne that instant. Soon enough, they made it to the club room and Mori walked over to a couch. He very easily laid her down. He was just going to leave but he found himself trapped. He looked back seeing that she had a grasp on his jacket. No matter how hard he tried, he could not get free. In fact, the more he tried to get away, the tighter her grasp became.
"Daddy..." she mumbled.
Mori stopped fighting and just took off his jacket. He laid it over her as a makeshift blanket and then quickly left, knowing classes were about to start.
Lenne woke up to being splashed in the face with cold water. She gasped and sat up right away. She heard two familiar laughs as wiped her face with her good hand. After that, she looked down at the twins who were grinning up at her.
"Why?" she asked them annoyed.
"You've been sleeping too long," they spoke together.
"You guys are bipolar..."
"So, why do you have Mori-sempai's jacket? Hmm?" they continued to speak in unison.
"Huh?" They pointed to her lap, still grinning. She looked down seeing his jacket there and she looked at it confused saying, "I have no idea."
"Awe, isn't that just romantic Hikaru?" one twin asked the other.
"Sure is Kaoru. Who knew Mori-sempai was such a big softy?" Hikaru responded.
She simply ignored those statements and just pointed at them asking, "so you're Hikaru and you're Kaoru?"
"That doesn't count," they spoke together again.
"So? I will figure you two out eventually without any hints." They just looked at each other. "And if I can't, well, I'll make sure you two look different," she said grinning at them.
They were about to say something but before they could, she was pounced on by Honey. He held her and looked up at her happily. She held onto him with a small smile.
"How are you feeling Lenne-chan? Are you better now?" Honey asked.
Her smile grew and she answered, "yeah, I'm better. I'm sorry for making you worried."
"Takashi was worried too."
"I'll have to apologize to him too then. Where is he anyway?"
"His kendo meeting."
"Lucky..."
"You like kendo Lenne-chan?"
She nodded and said, "ever since I was a kid. I never really got the chance to practice much though."
"Ooh, when you're all healed up you should practice with Takashi."
She shook her head saying, "I'd just get in his way."
"No you won't. He's been wanting someone new to practice with anyway."
"Well, it's going to be awhile until I'm healed either way."
Suddenly a commotion was heard on the other side of the room. Tamaki was chasing Haruhi with a dress.
"I'm not wearing that Sempai!" she shouted at him. He caught up to her and wrapped his free arm around her waist. She looked back at him annoyed and he pouted. She calmed down but still said, "I'm not wearing it."
Lenne heard a small growl and looked over at the twins. The one she believed to be Hikaru was watching with a mix of anger and sadness. Kaoru was just concerned about his brother. Kaoru noticed her watching them and she motioned him over. He walked over to her and kneeled down.
"Think you two could help me outside? I could use some fresh air," she asked him.
He nodded and went back over to his brother. Honey jumped off her and took Mori's jacket with him so it wouldn't fall on the floor. Before she knew it, she was picked up. Unlike the day before, she sensed no amusement from them and they were going a lot faster. She felt like was about to simply fall over. They made it outside without anyone crashing though. They went over to the railing and stopped. The three of them just leaned against it.
Minutes passed before Lenne asked, "so should I or should I not pry?"
"Probably better if you don't," answered Kaoru.
"I just want to let you guys know this. If you ever need someone to talk to that's not part of the host club, that's not a student at Ouran, that doesn't know your pasts at all, I'm here for you."
There's a reason for my madness, I know that this part doesn't have much in it but just be patient with me :)
