Chapter 11

Disclaimer: I do not own Ouran or its characters, except for Minato

A/N: I want to apologize for not updating in a while because I was swamped with college crap. I'm starting to lose the fire that got me to write this fic, so I want to finish this before that flame diminishes. I'm sorry about that, but try to enjoy it.

Another week has passed and the bond between Mori and Haruhi grew. At first Haruhi was confused about how she felt about Mori, but she eventually came into terms with it and finally accepted that she is infatuated with her upperclassman.

Most people would think that Mori could handle any situation perfectly. Well they'd be wrong. Now that he and Haruhi are becoming closer to each other, his heart would beat like crazy every time he's around her. He knew what his problem was; he's in love with her. The issue was that he didn't' know how to say it to her. After talking about it with Minato and Hunny, the only advice he got from them was to just say it to her. It was plain and simple, but was there any better idea than that? Not really, since Haruhi is kind of clueless when it comes to a romantic relationship. He recalls how she, unaware at the time, rejected Arai because he wasn't specific enough that he wanted to go on a date with her. Basically, his plan is to just talk with her after the club ends and tell her how he feels.


After the Host Club hours were over, everyone was about to leave Mori asked Haruhi to speak with him in the Host Club room.

"What is it that you wanted to talk about Mori-senpai?" Haruhi asked.

"Haruhi there's something I want to say… but I just don't know how to say it." Mori said while blushing furiously. Haruhi walked closer to him and, while standing on top of her toes, she placed her hand on top of his forehead.

"Are you sick senpai?" she asked innocently.

Mori's face couldn't be any redder now, he looked like that his head was going to magically turn into a tomato.

"N-no I'm not. It's just that… every time that I'm with you… it's just that I feel tense and on edge." Mori said.

"Are you sure you're ok senpai?" Haruhi asked once again.

"No I'm perfectly fine…"After his reply he gave his crush a hard stare. He couldn't think of anything else, but to look at her face.

Haruhi noticed this and felt a little uncomfortable, "Did I do something to you to make you mad?"

"Huh? N-no that's not it at all. It's just that…I…I… I like you Haruhi!" Mori exclaimed.

Haruhi felt like that she was going to faint just by hearing those words coming out from Mori, but she stood strong and took in those words.

"I-I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable, I understand if you're upset with me after saying that." Mori said with a sad voice.

"N-no not at all, the truth is that I'm kind of confused myself. Ever since that time when I fell asleep on your lap I have this feeling where I just get so confused and nervous when I'm around with you now. Maybe there's something wrong with me." Haruhi said with a confused look on her face.

Mori had to just smile at that comment. Her cluelessness is always so cute and amusing to him and probably to everyone else. He lifted his hand and ruffled Haruhi's brown hair. "That's love Haruhi."

"L-love?" Haruhi chuckled after hearing herself, "I guess you're right, this is love."

"Haruhi there's something I want to ask you," Mori said while looking down at his feet, "Will…will you be my girl?"

They stood there in silence, waiting for someone to say something. However, Mori took that silence as a rejection and was about walk out the door but a small voice stop him.

"Mori-senpai…" Mori turned around and saw that the voice came from Haruhi, "I-I… I'll be more than happy to be your girl."

Mori's eyes widened from her answer and he couldn't be any happier than now. "R-really?" he asked.

"Of course senpai." Haruhi said with a sincere smile.

"Th-thank you!" Out of instinct, Mori pulled Haruhi to him and embraced her tightly. Realizing what he did after a few seconds he immediately let go.

"Oh um I'm sorry." Mori said frantically.

"Don't be senpai. I-I actually liked it," she said, "C-could you do it again?" She asked quietly.

Mori happily obliged to that and hugged her again only this time it would be longer.


While the new couple didn't know was that they were being watched. Behind the doors of the Host club room was the rest of the group. With six pairs of eyes spying on them, hundreds of things were flying through the groups' minds. They had watched the whole thing from beginning to end.

Hunny and Minato gave each other a high-five without the noticing. "We did it Minato-chan. They finally admit that they like each other." Hunny whispered. "Yeah and it's about damn time too." Minato replied quietly.

"How come Haruhi likes Mori-senpai instead of me? Mamma!" Tamaki whined loudly. Even though the group heard him perfectly, the couple inside the room didn't hear him. Minato guessed that they were just in moment and ignored everything outside of them.

"It's nice to see that Haruhi has found she loves," Kaoru, "right brother?" Kaoru turned his head to face Hikaru's to see what he has to say, but all he was sadness and anger on his brother's face. To say the least, Hikaru was heartbroken.

Hikaru couldn't stand to see Haruhi with another guy, the only thing he could do now was close his eyes and tell himself that this was all just a dream. But it isn't; now he has to deal with Haruhi with Mori from now on. With that he ran away and with tears falling from his face.

"Hikaru!" Kaoru shouted and with that he after for his brother.


Hikaru ran as fast as he could through the seemingly endless hallway, until his legs finally gave out to exhaustion. He let all of his tears fall and shouted in his mind, "Why? Why did it have to be him and not me?" He was completely angry and he didn't know what to do now. All he wants to do now is to shout in the air, but after crying so much his voice just didn't have the strength to do it. After he lowered his voice, he heard footsteps coming towards him. He turned around and saw that it was brother.

"Hikaru," Kaoru said in a calm voice, "are you going to be okay?" He didn't bother asking, 'Are you okay?' because that's a stupid question at this point.

"I-I don't know. I don't know if I'll ever be," Hikaru said while he sniffed, "why him and not me?"

"That I don't know brother, only Haruhi can answer and I believe that she has her reasons." Kaoru said.

"Well I don't want it to be like this. I want to be with her and not him!" Hikaru shouted.

"Hikaru!" Kaoru scolded. "If you really do love her, then you will let her go. It hurts me too, but all that matters to me is that Haruhi is happy."

"I-I know, but it's so hard and it hurts so much." Hikaru said while sobbing.

Kaoru pulled his brother into a hug and said, "Don't worry we'll help you get through this brother."

'We?'Hikaru wondered what he meant by that. Something caught his eyes and saw something behind his brother. It was the Host club and Minato too. They were here to help him and he couldn't ask for better friends.

"Thank you. Everyone."


Omake (Takes place during Haruhi and Mori's conversation.)

"Damn it what is that they're talking about in there." Hikaru asked angrily.

"I don't know, but be quiet or we'll never know." Tamaki said.

'Is this what these guys do all the time? They spy on people? Man did I choose the wrong people to hang out with.' Minato thought.

It wasn't until he looked up and saw Tamaki that they were in a very awkward and disturbing position. Minato kneeling on all four in front the door that was cracked open. While Tamaki was right behind and his knees were bent down. Basically Tamaki's waist was right behind Minato's rear. The rest of the stalking group couldn't help, but to laugh at this. Except for Kyoya, who just kept his calm face on.

"Whoa we totally stand out." Tamaki said.

"Please. Move. Now. Before I kill you." Minato said in complete rage.
