Summary: After being saved by Tamaki that afternoon, Haruhi then felt something different inside of her. Whenever she talks to Tamaki, she feels secured and always in wonder. Hikaru, on the other side, developed mutual feelings for Haruhi. The story goes crazy when Tamaki asked Haruhi for a date. Will Haruhi realize the love she wasn't able to uncover for Tamaki? And will Hikaru give up his love for Haruhi? Based on the last anime episode of OKHC, sort of like my own season two.

Disclaimer: I don't own Ouran Koukou High School Host Club, you know. And if I did own the anime, it won't be a 26-episode anime. It would go on forever. :))

Chapter Nine: One on one

"You're already hurting me, Haruhi."

The word lingers in her mind. She opened her eyes, as she traced the tearstains on her pillow. She has been crying for a little over three hours already, wondering why on earth is happening to her friend, Hikaru. She is afraid in thunderstorms but she can handle little boy fights. But this friendly stuff doesn't go anywhere.


Hikaru stood over the terraces' edge as he looks at the wide-open sea in front of him. Kaoru has been sleeping and he finally told he's sorry for everything. As his brother, he also should be responsible to him. And for the first time his life, he felt the world is against him – his love for Haruhi is getting weaker as days go. And as Haruhi hurts him, unintentionally. He felt his world is going astray to his real identity. As he looks at the sea, Tamaki came over to join him. He didn't say anything and happily sat down on the edge of the terrace.

"You're still not sleeping, Hikaru." Tamaki said, resting his face to his palm.

Hikaru didn't say anything.

"I thought you're with Kaoru or Mori-senpai tonight. Aren't you a little tired of standing there?"

Hikaru didn't anything, still looking at the sea.

"Hikaru?"

"Suou Tamaki – I'm asking you to give up your feelings for Haruhi." Hikaru said, weighing every word, hard and a little harsh. Tamaki looked at him, surprised.

Tamaki furrowed his brows. "Huh?"

Hikaru looked at him. "You like Haruhi right? No, you love Haruhi."

There was a moment of silence after Hikaru said the words. Tamaki felt a little praised but also felt a little disappointed. The way Hikaru said the words, it is as if he wants Tamaki to takes on suicide and forget about the world. Tamaki looked at him, surprised and with this big question mark on his face.

"What are you talking about?" Tamaki asked.

"Don't be stupid, Lord." Hikaru protested.

Tamaki nodded. "Yes, I love Haruhi."

Sharp ache occurred Hikaru's heart. "So, it's real, you two are dating?"

"Yes, we are."

"Does Haruhi love you back?"

"She said, she loves me back. I trust her words. I believe in her."

Hikaru stepped down the terraces' edge. He can explain the feeling creeping down his veins. A mixed of wrath, jealousy and disappointment. Tamaki got him hand-locked this time. Tamaki is his friend and lord. And he doesn't want that friendship stuff to be gone just like that because of Haruhi. He doesn't want to lose Tamaki but he also doesn't want to lose Haruhi to his friend. He both doesn't want to lose them. He doesn't. Losing his control, he suddenly grabbed Tamaki's shirt and hit him hard. Tamaki fell from the ground.

"YOU!" Hikaru shouted, pointing his finger to Tamaki's face. "You're selfish with everything!"

Tamaki looked at him. He never saw Hikaru like this.

"You took away one of the important things in my life and that's Haruhi! Can't you see, I'm madly in love with her?!" Hikaru shouted. "Why can't you just forget about your feelings for her?!"

"Don't be stupid." Tamaki suddenly answered back, as he slowly stood up from the ground. "You can't control someone's feeling, Hikaru."

"Don't tell me what to do!"

Tamaki hit him. Hikaru was blown away. "You're the one who's selfish! Why do you want me to forget my feelings for Haruhi? Isn't that a way of being a selfish? You, who wants Haruhi only for yourself!"

Hikaru felt the yearning of his tears, flowing from his eyes. He didn't say anything because he was blown away by Tamaki's word.

"So, don't tell me what to do or what to forget Hikaru. You're not in the position to tell me what to do." Tamaki said, looking at him. He controlled his feelings for a while.

"But I love Haruhi." Hikaru said, crying.

"I'm the one who holds the answer, Hikaru. Haruhi is the one to tell us two who she loves."

Hikaru clench his fist. "One on one, we're doing this. Haruhi told me she really loves you."

"Hikaru…"

"It's enough for me to understand her words and it hurts like hell, Lord. I love her." Hikaru cried.

Tamaki fell on his knees as he smiled to Hikaru. "It's her decision, Hikaru. I love her."

"But it's unfair."

"Maybe, she's not the one for you. Maybe, there's someone else waiting for you to come out."

And from that moment, Hikaru cried all the pain his heart had since the start. He felt, maybe Tamaki is right – someone's waiting for him to come out and proclaim he's okay. He cried out all the pain until Tamaki hugged him. He hugged back as he cried over his shoulder.

"Make her happy, Lord." Hikaru said, out of the blue.

"Eh?" Tamaki said.

"Make her happy like no one else. Make her, your number one."

Tamaki smiled.

"I'm willing to give her up for you because I both love you. It wouldn't be easy, I know but I'm willing."

"Thank you, Hikaru."

Hikaru smiled. And that's the end of his secret.
