Mori took a deep, nervous breath. Today was the day. The day that he would finally talk to Haruhi Fujioka.

"Mitsukuni, I don't think I can do this," Mori said as he glanced down at the boy walking next to him.

Honey looked up at him and smiled reassuringly, "You can, Takashi. I know you can."

Mori didn't look too convinced, "I don't think I'm ready."

Honey looked up at him sternly. "You are too ready, Takashi. You need to act now."

Mori nodded and followed Honey into the third music room. Haruhi sat at Honey and Mori's table, causing them both to have shocked looks. The two approached the girl in which she stood up quickly and gave them an apologetic smile.

"I'm sorry for acting so rude to you guys, I hope that we can be friends again," she said as she did a slight bow.

"No, no! Haru-chan! It was all my fault!" Hunny said as he quickly approached her with a hug.

Haruhi was surprised, but she hugged him back. Mori stepped up and patted her head.

"It's okay Haruhi, I'm sorry too," Mori said softly.

"Well, I better go get dressed! We're cosplaying anime today," she said as she walked into the changing rooms.

"EEEEEEEEE!" the girls squealed in excitement as they saw Tamaki dressed as Hanabusa Aidou from Vampire Knight, he played the role well even though the character wasn't much like himself.

Haruhi smiled slightly, watching Tamaki get into character. She turned back to her clients, fixing her bangs to the wig the twins had forced her to wear. She was dressed up in Yukki Cross cosplay, having a small bit of trouble getting into character. She looked over to where Honey, dressed as Momiji Sohma, bounced in his seat. Mori sat a few seats away, dressed in Hatsuharu Sohma cosplay, playing the role pretty nicely.

"Haruhi, you have customers to attend to. Please stop looking around and get back to work," Kyoya muttered, dressed in Light Yagami cosplay writing in a black book with the words 'Death Note' printed on the front.

Kyoya hadn't been too sure about the book but Tamaki wanted to strive for authenticity on this special event. Haruhi nodded with a small sigh and turned back to her guests, smiling softly and continuing her entertainment.

Hikaru and Kaoru, watched Haruhi closely from their table a few feet away from hers. They were dressed in Death Note cosplay along with Kyoya. Kaoru was dressed up as L and his counterpart Hikaru was dressed as Beyond Birthday. They wanted to play twins and this was as close as they were going to agree with Tamaki on. They played their roles quite splendidly, even though they did have a few other characters they had wanted to be. They figured they might as well work with what they get.

When club hours had ended Tamaki was boasting about how 'gloriously spectacular that had gone!' and how they 'should most definitely do it again!'. Haruhi rolled her eyes at the president's acts and walked back towards the changing rooms. She peeled back the curtain and stepped inside, closing it behind her.

She removed the tie and jacket, turning around to set it on the chair in the corner when her eyes caught Mori changing on the other half, who hadn't seemed to notice her presence. He was standing shirtless and in the process of removing the shoes and socks from his cosplay. His stone grey eyes slowly gazed in her direction, seeing her standing there frozen almost statue like.

"I-I'm s-sorry, sempai!" She felt heat rise to her cheeks and she grabbed her outfit pieces before moving to the changing room next to his. Wrong changing room…

Mori couldn't help but smile slightly at the flustered girl, he shook his head and resumed getting out of his outfit. Once out he slid back into his uniform. He couldn't get the picture of Haruhi's shocked face out of his mind. It made him slightly pleased that she was embarrassed about that, even though there was no reason to be. She would have been embarrassed whoever it would have been.

"Takashi?" Honey questioned, walking into the changing room, closing the curtain, and seeing his cousin with a smile.

Mori turned his head towards him, too caught up in his thoughts to have heard him coming. Honey tipped his head to the side, examining his cousin.

"Haru-chan?" He asked quietly.

"Ah."

Honey nodded and gave him a look that told Mori that they would talk about it later as Honey saw Haruhi's feet in the changing room next to theirs. Haruhi heard Honey whisper her name but stayed quiet, not wanting to disturb their conversation. She was wondering what they were, or were going to, talking about.
