Ouran Theater of Love 3

As it always seems to be, Jin had her hands wrist deep in soapy dish water when the doorbell rang. Not hearing any movement from the sitting room, Jin let out a groan and pulled her hands out, grabbing a towel from the nearby rack and calling out, "Hey! Someone else has to get that! I can't be everywhere at once-"

"I got it!"

Jin pokes her head out of the kitchen just in time to watch Tamaki nearly fall over himself in an effort to reach the front door. She shook her head, an affectionate smile spreading across her face as she withdrew from the doorway.

Honey's greeting echoed through the small apartment as Jin sidled up to Haruhi's side. "We're probably going to be joined by another pair of hands soon. Do you want to maneuver three people around this kitchen or would you rather leave the rest to me and Mori?"

Haruhi looked up from the mushrooms, a pained expression on her face. "Could you maybe be the one to go? I don't want to mingle any more than necessary, tonight."

Jin agreed without much argument, kissing the top of Haruhi's head before walking out of the kitchen. As expected, almost everyone else in the house had already settled at the table. Exchanging a quick greeting and smile with their neighbors, Jin announced, "Dinner's almost ready, there's just one last dish that needs to be prepared."

She expected Honey or Mori to perk up at her words and jump at the opportunity to assist considering their guest status… but instead-

"Why should Haruhi do all the work tonight? She and Jin have made everything else, perhaps the neighbor's wife could lend a hand with the final dish?"

Jin's jaw nearly dropped. She stared at Kyoya while Honey sheepishly apologizes for the oversight before sending Mori to the kitchen. Then the room was quiet.

The silence stretched on for a few moments longer before Kyoya finally looked up at Jin over the brim of his newspaper. "Is something the matter, Jin?"

"You… it's just… you did something nice."

Kyoya returned the stare for a few more seconds before lifting his paper a little. "I might work my daughter hard, but I will not abide others doing the same."

Tamaki abruptly cleared his throat, cutting off Jin in case she attempted to respond. "So, Honey? How's it been going lately?"

"Heh, well, with this recession an' all it's been a little difficult managing the finances, but other than that business is booming."

Jin sighed as the tension broke, the two "men" delving deeper into their pre-dinner conversation. "I'm gonna… go get the boys. They need to wash up before dinner."

She skirted the group on the floor, but hesitated at the twin's bedroom door. Giving Kyoya one last glance over her shoulder, Jin gave her head a short shake before walking through the door.

Aaaand done! I know it's super short, but this is the first chapter I ever wrote on my phone instead of my computer and it took much longer than what I'm used to. Anyways, I hope you enjoy this chapter! Now I gotta go, my flight's boarding!

See you next chapter!
