Short flashback that has little to do with the current plot probably...

I'm in a slump because it is so hot (the high is about 100 and the low 90, and it's humid) I don't care to think. Sorry.

"Tamaki, where'd you go?" I asked while we were playing a game of hide and seek, one that I wasn't told about. "Seriously, I want to cook something now!" He'd just been looking at a magazine a second before...

This was somewhat early in our relationship, maybe two weeks before graduation. "So you aren't going to tell me, huh? Fine then. Ready or not, here I come!" The search is on. I start in the 'living room' and look behind the curtains.

No Tamaki. I search the rest of the apartment to no avail. "Tamaki, come out!" I sensed a disturbance in the atmosphere. It felt like...I was being watched.

I turned around, and a tall blonde man's figure quickly picked me up bridal style. "Hey! Where'd you go?" I asked, recovering my shaking breath.

"Oh, no where...behind the couch. Haruhi, do we really have to cook tonight? I'd love to just listen to some music and maybe dance!" His eyes brimmed with unnecessary tears and I sighed, then nodded. He kissed my forehead before taking me into my bedroom. "Here's a good song..."

it's always been a mystery to me
how two hearts can come together
and love can last forever
But now that I have found you I believe,
That a miracle has come when God sends the perfect one.
So gone are all my questions about why,
And i've never been so sure of anything in my life

"Tamaki-senpai..." He takes my hand and pulls me close to his warm chest.

He made the sun He made the moon,
To harmonize a perfect tune,
One can't do without the other they just have to be together.
And that is how I know its true,
Your for me and i'm for you and my world
Just cant be right without you in my life

"Haruhi...I love you." My eyes bolt open in surprise and my heart skips a beat.

"I...l-love you...too senpai." We dance slower and I slowly feel Tamaki's soft lips on mine.

"Haruhi...do you really?" he mutters after breaking apart for air related reasons.

"Yes senpai. I really do!" I almost yell over the loud music not noticing my volume.

"I heard a wise man say before: 'The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart,' but I'm afraid he is wrong. The most beautiful thing in the world is right in front of me. However the most beautiful thing is inside of you and that, well, I will not be able to see nor touch. You think you see beauty on the outside, but the inside will always top that my Princess. Seeing your face everyday is enough for me to remember what is inside my better half though. I love you will all my heart, Love."

I blush after that speech that, looking back, didn't make much sense. He kisses me again and we slowly sit down on the bed.

I didn't take long for me to be gently pinned down and Tamaki stopped, probably expecting me to slap him.

"Are you not going to say anything Princess?" He asks with a worried look. Not worried for himself, but more for me.

"No. It's your choice what comes next. I'm not going to object either way senpai." This was my philosophy. If I loved him, and I seemingly did, I wouldn't mind if we just kissed, or whatever. This was my go-to answer to be used to avoid a real answer with something I loved. I didn't want to answer wrong.

He clapped twice and the lights went out.

The next morning I had lost something I now wish I could have back. Not to re-give it away, but to know I had a fresh start. I realize now that wasn't much of an answer. But also that it takes a special man to answer it correctly for you. Like Hikaru did. I think that is why...

I love Hikaru.

Sigh. I could end this right here, right now. Right? Yes, I could...but I don't think I will. Hikaru doesn't HAVE to know it yet, right? Right. And he will not because I still have some plot up my sleeve. Not that their was mush of a plot to begin with...

Sorry, I'm cynical today. Review!

(This chapter made me want to change this into a Tamaki story XD don't worry, I'd rather die right now that give Tamaki that satisfaction)
