Oh..no! Where's Hunny, Mori, Kasanoda and Renge? No need to fret they're still there. XD
On to something different. Some mild fluff between Tamaki and Haruhi! Part 10:
Accident in the Dark…Stupid Flashlight!
"The…dressing room?", Haruhi wondered as she took in her surroundings.
"Yup, the storage room is right there", Tamaki pointed at the white door situated directly beside the beige privacy curtains.
The pair walked deeper into the dark room towards the conveniently white colored door. Tamaki turned the door knob, pushing the entrance open. He brought a finger to the light switch beside the door and flicked it only to be reminded of the sole reason they came to the storage room in the first place.
"Right there's no electricity, hehe," the foolish boy tried to laugh off his embarrassing actions.
"You're weird", Haruhi said plainly
Tamaki smiled at her response even though he knew she would barely be able to see it.
"Hold on to my arm, I don't want my little girl getting lost."
Haruhi complied even though the last few words of his sentence greatly annoyed her. She replied as she held onto his arm.
"Senpai, I wish you would quit with this father-daughter charade", a disapointment filled her voice.
Tamaki was surprised by her statement and was about to reply when he unexpectedly stepped on a small and round unstable surface which made him lose his footing and fall forward, sending both to the floor.
Panic took over him. "H-Haruhi! Are you okay? You're not hurt?"
"I'm fine Senpai."
Tamaki got to his knees and reached in the direction Haruhi's voice came from when he felt a soothing warmness beneath his palm.
Haruhi immediately blushed at the contact.
"Y-you're touching my cheek."
Tamaki instantly pulled his hand away as he felt his body temperature rise just slightly.
"I'm sorry", he got to his feet an offered Haruhi a hand even though she clearly couldn't see it in the dark.
Haruhi stood up and took a step forward only to trip over a cylinder object. She felt herself fall against Tamaki's chest as they both met with the floor once again.
She stayed in her position; legs spread apart, knees on the floor and arms outstretched, hands planted on the surface to keep her hovering. Seconds passed with nothing but unwanted silence. This threw Haruhi into a panic.
'What if he hit his head and got knocked unconscious?'
"T-T-Tamaki?!"
He faintly moaned and propped himself upward with his elbows. "I'll be fine."
Haruhi exhaled in relief when she felt something cold lightly bumped against her hand.
"I found something." she grasped the cylinder object and felt around it until she came across what felt like a button. She clicked it, illuminating a bright light straight into Tamaki's face. He squinted and rose an arm to shield his eyes.
Haruhi brought her arm up to have the light shinning over them and was shocked to find Tamaki underneath her. Suddenly everything froze as the pair realized their suggestive position and close proximity. They remained that way; flushed and hot as their hearts pulsed heavily. What only lasted for a split second felt like ages.
"I'm Sorry!", they both exclaimed simultaneously as they quickly moved out of each others space and futilely attempted to hide their red faces from one another.
Haruhi tried to break their awkwardness. "I guess this is what I tripped over." she refered to the black flashlight, nervously giggling.
She looked around the room and spotted another flashlight; the one Tamaki most likely tripped over. The blonde came back to his footing and walked towards the abandoned device, kneeling down picking it up. He clicked the button on the flashlight but only meet with disappointed when nothing happened.
"Ah, it doesn't work.." he placed a hand on his chin and thought quizzically.
"I know I'll just hit it!."
Following his own words the host prince lightly tapped the side of the flashlight onto the floor and pressed the button once more only to have the same results. After a few rounds of repeating the manuver Tamaki's impatience grew. He put on his angry face and started slamming the inert tool into the floor.
"You're making it worse, it's already broken," Haruhi commented as she observed her friends weird but not unusual behavior.
She sighed blandly as Tamaki looked towards her with tears dripping from his eyes in chibi form.
"Does this mean I don't get a flashlight?", he gave her his signature puppy eyes and succeeded in his objective as Haruhi shoved the working flashlight into his chest.
"Here, you can have this one. I don't want you crying on me."
Tamaki chuckled at the contact, "That tickles."
"You're such a kid", Haruhi blushed and looked away from her childish companion.
Tamaki smiled and rubbed the brunette's head, leaving her hair in a somewhat untidy state.
"Let's find what we came for and take our leave. Eveyone's waiting for us". Tamaki suggested.
Haruhi agreed and smiled
I just realized how short this chapter is . Well, now that my Spring Break is pretty much here expect this story to conclude within the next 2 weeks or so. There's about 5 chapters left that I have to post.
