Haruhi

Haruhi's eyes slowly fluttered open by the sound of her door closing. Soft footsteps quietly made their way over to her. She turned to the person and saw Hikaru place a bowl of some food on her dresser next to her bed.

What was he doing here?

She had a feeling that she should've been scared to see him after what happened during the hike...but for some reason she didn't. She actually felt safe around him, not really knowing why.

Then all the memories of what happened finally hit her. How she fell into a lake and even after everything she done to him he jumped in and saved her. A feeling of guilt washed over her as she stared up at him.

Hikaru caught her stare and smiled at her. "You're awake. How are you feeling?" He asked, his voice soothing.

Haruhi wrapped her blanket tighter around her. "I could be better, but I'm a lot warmer than before."

"Well that's good." He said. "Are you hungry? Your dad made soup."

Haruhi nodded and Hikaru grabbed the bowl of soup, sitting next to her before handing it to her. She took the bowl into her hands but as soon as Hikaru let go of it her hands began shaking too hard for her to hold the bowl properly. He looked at her a bit concerned before taking the bowl back from her.

"I'll feed you, uh...if you don't mind that is?"

Haruhi shook her head. "I don't mind."

He helped feed her for a couple minutes, bring a spoonful of soup to her lips. If she had to be honest it was a little embarrassing that she had to have someone feeding her, but she also didn't completely hate it that he was taking care of her. Haruhi rewrapped the blanket around herself, trying to get her trembling under controlled. She could sense that Hikaru was hesitant of speaking and she didn't blame him. What she did to him was unforgivable. He's been so nice to her and everything was so great in their relationship, but she just dropped him instantly...like he meant nothing to her.

"I'm sorry." Haruhi whispered, causing Hikaru to look up at her.

"Hmm?"

"I'm sorry." She repeated, looking up at him with doleful eyes. "I shouldn't have left you because of your powers. I should've known that you weren't evil. I was just...scared."

He stared at her quietly for a couple seconds, which made her grow nervous. What if he didn't accept her apology? She wouldn't blame him if he didn't. She was a terrible girlfriend for just dropping her boyfriend, but instead of being mad at her, he just smiled at her. Which surprised her.

"And you had every right to be." He said, cupping her cheek and used his thumb to wipe a tear from her face. "When do you come across a guy with powers?" His smile turned sad. "But I would be lying if I said I wasn't hurt, but I understand. I just don't understand why you guys would suddenly think that I would be evil."

That's right, Kyouya mentioned that he probably didn't know about the whole elder twins are forbidden. If he did find out he would probably feel guilty that he's the only elder twin in the whole kingdom that wasn't sentenced to death, or have an explosive reaction to his parents for lying to him and only sparing him because he's their kid.

"I'm sorry." She apologized again.

"Stop apologizing." He chuckled. "I promise that it's fine."

"But still, I shouldn't have-"

He interrupted her with a kiss, catching Haruhi off guard. He pulled away and gave her a loving smile.

"I told you, it's fine." He breathed, rubbing my thumb against her cheek. "Stop apologizing."

They just stared into each other's eyes silently for a bit longer before Haruhi leaned in and captured his lips with hers again. At first the kiss was sweet, his soft lips gently on hers, but the heat from his body was driving her insane. It might've been because she was still cold but she wanted to be closer to him. She wrapped her arms around his neck, bringing him closer. Almost having her body flush against his, and he didn't seem to mind at all.

The kiss grew more heated as she tightened her grip around his neck. She just noticed that he wasn't wearing a shirt but didn't seem to care at all as she just deepened the kiss. His hands began traveling up her back under her shirt, causing her to gasp at the touch of his warm hands on her freezing skin.

Before the kiss could get too heated there was a knock at the door, causing them to freeze. They separated and faced towards the door.

Hikaru cleared his throat. "Yes?"

"Is Haruhi awake?" Ranka asked behind the door. "I would really like to see her."

They looked back at each other, Hikaru bit his lip, not really wanting to stop, but they both knew they had to.

"Yeah," he finally answered, "she just got up. I'm just waiting for her to fully wake up so she'll be prepared to talk to you."

"Alright, just tell me when she's ready."

Hikaru didn't respond as he just continued to stare into Haruhi's eyes. He laid his forehead against hers.

"How are you feeling now?"

"Well, I'm no longer freezing." She chuckled.

Hikaru laughed softly before cupping her face again. He smiled sweetly at her. "So, are we back together now?"

She matched his smile as she leaned into his hand. "Hikaru, we were never broken up in the first place."

His smile widened and he leaned back in and kissed her, which she happily gave back in return.

Hikaru

A few months have passed and everything has been perfect. Haruhi and my relationship was stronger than ever and now Kaoru even started hanging out with the group whenever he was free. Which was quite a lot since he was still mostly free from his royal duties, but some days he had to stay back with mom and dad (to his dismay) and discuss about the future of the kingdom and the allies, and unfortunately one of those days were today.

Haruhi was cleaning up the last of the dishes as I moved the curtain out of the way and smiled at her before making my way over to her. I wrapped my arms around her waist and laid my head on her shoulder.

"Are you almost ready to go?" I asked, placing a kiss on her cheek.

Haruhi smiled and leaned into my embrace. "Yeah, I just need to finish these dishes. Then we can go."

My smile widened and I kissed her cheek again before unwrapping my arms from around her waist. I waited for her to finish up the dishes as I sat up on the counter. At first I was very patient, but as ten minutes slowly passed I began to become restless. I sighed and began fiddling with some of the cooking utensils that were in a cup.

Haruhi turned off the water and wiped her hands on her apron before turning to me. She noticed what I was fiddling with and glared.

"Hikaru," she said, causing me to look over at her. She walked over to me and took the measuring spoons out of my hands, putting them back where I got them. "I understand you're not used to waiting for people, but you can't just fiddle with other people's things. Especially since last time you froze and broke my rolling pin."

I rolled my eyes, but smiled at her. "That was only one time and I just wanted to see if it was true that if you freeze something that it becomes more fragile."

"Well it does, and now I have to buy a new one."

"Yeah, that's one of the reasons why we're going to the markets, right?" I said matter of factly.

Haruhi's glare hardened, trying to make it look as if she was angrier as she put her hands on her hips. I cocked an eyebrow at her, knowing fully well that it was an act. Her facade soon fell and she began to laugh.

"God, I hate you."

"The feeling's mutual." I smirked.

Haruhi took off her apron and put it on the hanger, dusting off the remainder of the flour. She then grabbed a bag and walked over to me as I hopped off the counter. As I went to grab for her hand we heard the chimes from the door ring and a familiar voice call out Haruhi's name.

"Haruhi!"

I frowned at the sound of the person's voice and we both faced towards them as they walked past the curtain.

"Tamaki? What are you doing here?" Haruhi asked.

"Kyouya kicked me out of his house because he said I was being too much of a burden while he was trying to study. Is there anyway that I could hang out with you guys today?" He asked.

"Can't you hang out with Honey and Mori?" I asked, not trying to hide the fact that his presence was bothering me, causing Haruhi to glare at me. But Tamaki didn't seem to notice.

"They're doing their knight training all day. So I wouldn't be able to talk to them so it wouldn't be worth going there."

"Can't you just-"

"Sure, you can hang out with us today." Haruhi said, making me look over at her surprised. "We're going to the markets, so as long as you help us shop you can tag along."

Tamaki smiled brightly. "I will, thank you." He took the bag from Haruhi and began walking toward the door. "I'll meet you guys outside."

When he left the kitchen and was fully out of earshot I glared over at Haruhi.

"Why the hell did you invite him? This day was supposed to be just about us."

Haruhi rolled her eyes as she grabbed a couple more bags. "We are just going to the markets to get some items. It's not a big deal that he tags along. Also he wouldn't stop complaining if we didn't let him come, but if it makes you feel better, if it was an actual date I would've said no."

I huffed, running my hand through my hair. "Fine, whatever." I then smirked and leaned down next to her ear. "But tonight we're having a real date, and you're all mine." I purred.

A warm blush tinted her cheeks and she smiled. "I would really like that."

I gave her a quick kiss on the lips and put my hood up before grabbing her hand and walking towards the door to meet up with Tamaki.

"That looks like everything." Haruhi said as she looked at the list of items she made.

"Uh, Haruhi," Tamaki said, drawing our attention. He had his arms full with bags filled with the top with items, "why am I carrying most of the bags."

I smirked at him. "It's because you were a last minute guest and because of that you get to carry most of the bags."

"That seems hardly fair…"

"Then how about this? It's payback for what happened a couple months ago when you threatened me in Haruhi's room when I was trying to warm her up."

Tamaki's month formed a line as he stared at me, then readjusted the bags in his arms. "Fine, I'll carry them…"

My smirk remained on my face and we all began walking back to the bakery. We took our time, just in case an item caught our attention at a vendor's stand. As Haruhi was looking at a snack stand, seeing if there was anything that all three of us would like (mostly me) I began to get a strange feeling. I couldn't really explain it...but it felt strangely familiar.

I then suddenly felt someone grab my left shoulder, causing me to jump. I turned around and faced them. A tall man in a hooded robe stood there. His eyes were covered by his bright blonde hair that was under his hood, but what really caught my eye was his necklace. It was shaped as a crescent moon with a glowing purple jewel in the center. I've seen that symbol before, but I don't know where...but it made me uncomfortable.

Tamaki finally noticed the man and turned to us, but once he saw him his face immediately paled.

"Neko-Nekozawa?!" Tamaki stuttered nervously. "Wh-What are you doing here?!"

I looked over at Tamaki briefly before facing the hooded stranger again. Tamaki must've known him from somewhere, but he seemed terrified by his presence. Which was starting to get me nervous.

Nekozawa seemed to ignore Tamaki's question and tilted his head as if he was studying me. Even though I couldn't see them I could feel his eyes look over my body. I just stood there uncomfortably, not really knowing what to do. I decided to ask what he wanted but before I could he finally spoke.

"I never thought I would see you outside the castle walls, Prince Hikaru."
