The day resumed normally from then on. Tamaki was still very jumpy and he

wouldn't tolerate any loud noises in the room. The hosts were wary of their

president. Him coming apart at the seams from this event unsettled them greatly.

It upset Kyoya the most, however. Kyoya looked up from his little black book

that he got so absorbed in at Haruhi, who was looking at him with the look that

said she was looking into you. "What is she looking at?" he mumbled to himself.

Haruhi sighed as she looked at Kyoya. 'what do I do?' she questioned 'I know he

loves Tamaki deeply, so is there even room for me? Well, I am the one who is

currently going with him. But it wouldn't be right to just look on. Hmmmm...

this is a difficult decision. I'll talk to Kyoya now to get an answer. Right

let's do this!'

Kyoya looked up and saw Haruhi walking towards him and started internally

panicking inside the deep confines of his mind. 'What does she want! Why is she

coming over here. What the hell!' "Kyoya" 'oh shit!'

Haruhi calmly walked over to Kyoya and said his name. She didn't miss the

surprise that flashed across his eyes and his head snapping up so fast to give

himself whip lash.

"Yes?" Kyoya said trying to act calm even though his demeanor was cracking.

Though only Haruhi would be able to tell.

"I want to talk to you about Tamaki." 'shit!' "Please stay, just for a moment,

please!"

Kyoya sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling a migrane coming on.

"Very well. What did you want to talk about?"

"Well... Do you love him!"

"What!"

" . ? I've known for awhile. I see the way you'll look at him when

you're writing in your book. Just tell me, do you love him?"

"Damn, why are you so perceptive?" Haruhi laughed and shook her head. She

glanced at him and waited patiently for him to answer.

Kyoya stood contemplating his next move, calculating all the possible responses

in his head.

"I... Is there any way that I can spare your feelings?" he finally breathed out,

so quiet Haruhi had to strain to hear him.

When she caught what he had said, she gave him a little smile and spoke "I have

my answer then. I'll think of something to tell him."

"No!" Kyoya burst out making Haruhi jump at the shout. She gave him that look

that said 'I know what I'm doing and it's for the best.'

Kyoya heaved a sigh and looked at her, trying to read her seemingly happy and

calm expression.

"Why don't you want me to talk to Tamaki?"

"Because he most definitely doesn't feel the same way, that and his family will

crumble, or so he will think." he blurted.

"Oh, you are stupid." at his look of shock she continued, "I see the looks he

gives you. You both give each other looks like lovesick puppies. And, Tamaki has

been...hesitant in the kissing. Wait, that's it! You kiss Tamaki and I'll gauge

from a distance if he reacts different to your lips than mine." "I really don't

think that-" "No! We are doing that and that's final!"

Kyoya sighed and spoke almost imperceptibly, "Fine, but if he hates me it's all

on you." Haruhi smiled gently and nodded.
