The plan was in motion. Hikaru went to school with Kaoru the next morning ecstatic about what lied ahead. He walked up to Haruhi when she got there a few minutes later to commence Phase 1.
"Hey Haruhi." Hikaru said casually to get her attention.
"Hey Hikaru. Good morning." Haruhi replied back putting her things away.
"To you as well. Hey Haruhi." Hikaru said to make sure he had her full attention.
"Yes Hikaru?" Haruhi said slightly confused as to why he kept saying hello.
"I was wondering if you could help me with some homework. I'm struggling with this assignment and Kaoru's just making fun of me." Knowing what to do Kaoru nodded and chuckled a bit.
"Of course Hikaru but we have the Host Club so maybe not today." Haruhi said going to sit down. Hikaru lightly grabbed her shoulder.
"I talked to Kyoya. He said grades come first and I need to get my grade up. So it's okay if we stay after class." Hikaru accidentally started rambling as the nervousness settled in. Kaoru could sense this and decided to help.
"Yeah, he could really use the help. Its okay, I'll still be at the Host Club to entertain guests as well. Its all good." Kaoru said making sure Haruhi had no excuses.
"Okay then yeah. Just wait for me after class and we'll work on it okay?" Haruhi said then smiled.
They had to get in their assigned seats as class began. Hikaru and Kaoru smiled at each other. Phase 2 was about to begin. Hikaru waited till the end of class and got all his papers out. He grabbed his backpack and pulled it closely to his side by his chair. Now was the time. If he backed out now Kaoru would kill him. He stalled with thoughts of death and destruction before returning to the real world.
"So I'm having a problem with these extra questions that the teacher gave me for extra credit." Hikaru said pulling out his paper. "Huh, these look remotely easy." It was a series of six questions on a piece of paper.
Haruhi began reading them out loud. "What is the paper assigning properties to friends and family after you pass." Haruhi look confused. "Well that's easy, it's a will." Hikaru smiled. "Wow I didn't think of that." Haruhi looked confused again.
"I think the next one has Spanish in it?" Hikaru chuckled. "Yeah that one was really confusing." Haruhi read aloud again. "What is the English word for Tu?" She answered. "You?" Hikaru nodded. "Ok this is a weird extra credit assignment." She smiled at Hikaru. "Lets continue."
"The opposite of come?" Haruhi laughed. "This one is way to easy. It's go." Hikaru smiled. "Yeah I knew that one."
"The opposite of in? Hikaru are you sure you needed help with all of these." Hikaru nodded. "Ok well the answer's out."
"Replace the (hip) in whip and add (ith). Hikaru what grade do you have in here!" Hikaru laughed. "93% Haruhi I'm not stupid." Haruhi laughed. "Ok one more to go."
"The third note in a solfege scale? Ok this one I don't know." Hikaru smiled. "I know this one. It's me." Hikaru then knelt down into his backpack and pulled out a rose. Hiding it behind his back, he stood up. "Haruhi can you read the answers out for me. I need to remember them." Haruhi nodded.
"Will. You. Go. Out. With. Me." Hikaru laughed. "Of course I will." He knelt down and presented the rose. Haruhi covered her mouth with both hands. All the host members and a group of fangirls came in hollering and whooping. As far as they knew this was a gay love story. Haruhi blushed hard and Hikaru tried his best not to and be the confident one.
"Its okay to be embarrassed. I didn't plan on them being here." He turned to the group. "Why did you bring the girls?!" Kyoya nudged his glasses farther up the crook of his nose. "They each paid a large amount of money to the club Hikaru." Kyoya smirked and Hikaru visibly shivered. Kaoru came over draping an arm over his brother's shoulders. "So what's your answer Haruhi? I know you technically asked him and all but still." Haruhi laughed. "What?"
Everyone turned to look at her. "What is honestly happening right now? Is this a joke because if it is I will hit everyone of you." Hikaru hadn't seen this side of Haruhi before. He couldn't tell if she was confused or happy or anything really. "Can everyone leave please? I can't think straight with everyone staring." Everyone stared in shock at the girl/guy they thought based her entire personality on the laws of stoicism. "Okay come on ladies you've gotten what you paid for, lets go." Kyoya led a group of very angry and disappointed girls into the hallway. Tamaki gave Hikaru a nod and led the rest of the boys out. Kaoru smiled at his brother and followed.
