Thanks for all the support everyone and for the long wait!!!!

Sorry for all the mistakes I made with the previous stories and if I wasn't able to reply to your messages. Something went wrong with my internet connection. TT_TT

Oh and I wanted to try and experiment on something. From now on, because of a certain review, I'll try and use a Mori POV more and I'd like it to be fused with a 3rd person POV, if you don't mind. I'll switch it to 2nd person (as Mori) when he fights with his conscience. Tell me what you think about it, k?

Mori's POV + 3rd person POV

"Oh, shit."

"You've done it alright."

"We're not involved in this."

Tamaki, the twins and Haruhi were playing a game of "tag" when suddenly Tamaki tipped over a cup of tea and spilled some of its contents all over Usa-chan (Hani's stuffed bunny) and a pile of Suzu's book reports.

"F-Fools! You bumped into me!"

"Well Haruhi was running away."

"We finally got Haruhi to cosplay with us."

"We do cosplays all the time!"

"Not the ordinary host club cosplays!"

"We found a bunny-girl outfit for her to wear! You'd like to see that, don't you?"

'A bunny girl outfit…'

Takashi's (or perhaps maybe even Kyouya's. Who knows? hehehehehe) inner mind theater:

A bikini-style, pantyhosed, two piece and very seductive bunny-girl costume-wearing version of Suzu sprawled across the floor saying: "I'm right here… Takashi-kun…" flashed through.

Mori rubbed his nose bridge to prevent blood from flowing out of it.

'Darn hormones…'

'Wow. You didn't blame me for once.'

'Don't be too full of yourself. You're the source of all this.'

'I thought you said it was your hormones.'

'Some of it is. Mostly it's your fault.'

'Yeah, yeah. Blame it on the innocent one.'

'I'd hardly ever call you "innocent".'

"We don't have any guests today so I don't mind the commotion."

Kyouya's voice broke off your little "argument" with your conscience. "But are you sure? Honey-sempai and Suzu-sempai are going to wake-up."

The three (Tamaki and the twins) of them froze.

"He takes afternoon naps even as a high school senior? Oh well, you can't do anything about something that you spilled. Let's just wake them both up and apologize directly." Haruhi approached the tent.

Suzu sat with Hani (complete with his bunny-patterned blanket) rested peacefully on her lap in the couch both in deep slumber.

"Wait! Don't go near Hani-sempai!"

'Suzu stayed up all night to finish that 500-page book report. She must have been exhausted. I had to carry her into the limo this morning… '

'Why didn't you just wake her up… y'know… the newly acquired way?'

'Pervert…'

But in reality, Mori inwardly smiled as he reminisced on how he sucked up his gut to get what he wanted that Sunday which, for him, was the best Sunday of his life. So far.

That Sunday, as he made the move, Suzu willingly accepted it and even returned it and deepened it! You shared a long, sweet, innocent but loving kiss right until...

Suzu's father came.

Yep.

You know the drill.

But at least there's an upside to it.

You got to kiss her AND agreed that you should show more mature feelings towards each other (like kissing or hugging or holding hands… the simple stuff) partly because of her parents.

"Well… umm… I don't mind really…" was what she said with a deep red blush.

That sent chills up your spine and a churning sensation up your stomach.

"No! Not my teddy bear!!!!!!"

Tamaki shrieked as Hani threw his teddy bear directly at the ground.

"We're next!!!!!!"

"The bunny doll has been discovered!!!!!!"

Hani picked up Usa-chan.

"Who got my bunny doll dirty?"

"H-H-H-Help!!! Mori-sempai!!!!"

You made your way to the petrified trio and said the best excuse that your cousin would buy…

"The bunny doll…wanted to drink tea real badly."

.

.

.

"I see!!!! So THAT'S why his face is so dirty! Will he eat cake, too?????"

Tamaki and the twins: "That's what all it took?"

"Ne, mina-san…" Everyone heard a faint voice.

Suzu stood motionless facing the table where her book report stayed soaked.

"What happened to my book report?"

"Uhmm…ehehehe well you see, Suzu-sempai…" Tamaki started nervously clasping his hands together. "Err… I think Mori-sempai could explain this…?" He said with a touch of help me in his voice.

And so, you did what anyone could have done when dealing with Suzu. You moved towards them, out of hearing distance from Hani who was occupied by "feeding" Usa-chan, and said…

.

.

.

"Tamaki and the twins spilled some tea all over it while they were chasing Haruhi around trying to get her to cosplay for them."

.

.

.

"Oh…" She muttered and the trio waited for her response.

She went back to the couch where Hani slept and curled up into a ball under Hani's blanket and resumed her sleep.

Tamaki and the twins: "That was… different…"

"Hani-kun, what kind of chocolate would you like?"

"Mousse?"

"Bonbon?"

"Or maybe you would like chocolate cake best?"

Hani sat at a table with his guests eating an assortment of sweets with them.

"Umm… I like chocolate, my bunny and everyone!!!"

"Kyaaa---SO KAWAII!!!!"

"Hani-sempai's pretty happy today." Haruhi said as she stood beside Tamaki in the distance.

"I'm so glad that the bunny doll problem has been taken care of peacefully." Tamaki said overjoyed.

"But poor Suzu-sempai. Although she didn't get mad, she still has to print the 500 pages all over again."

"No worries, Kyouya generously let her use his printer… but she does look tired."

Both their eyes trailed to an exhausted (but recovering) Suzu facing Kyouya's laptop drinking some coffee while waiting for the printing to be done.

"Say, It's the first time I've ever seen someone else actually even touch Kyouya-sempai's laptop."

"Yea… It's a first for me, too."

Tamaki and Haruhi: *sratches chins in wonder* "Hrmmmm…"

"Mitskuni…" Suzu, now fully recovered, served tea in Hani's table, "Don't eat too many sweets… you'll get cavity…"

"It's alright! I brush my teeth! Aaaaamm---mph!"

Everyone: "Hmm…?"

Haruhi came and said, "Hani-sempai… are you…"

"It's… nothing…" Hani muffled.

"Come on, open your mouth."

"Hey!"

"Hani-sempai, stay put!"

"Mitskuni…"

"It's nothing!! It's nothing!!!" Hani wailed

Suddenly, Mori swooped in and landed on top of him in the sofa and forced him to open his mouth.

"Yes! This is the missing element: MOE!" The customers wailed.

"A cavity?" Tamaki popped in to take a look.

Mori nodded.

"Is Mitskuni-kun going to be ok?" Suzu asked from behind.

Mori shook his head.

"Tamaki." He called.

"Ah, okay. I understand." Tamaki cleared his throat.

"Umm… Hani-sempai, you are forbidden to eat sweets until your cavity is filled. Additionally, everyone in the club must control the amount of snacks being consumed here."

"No, Takashi…" Hani started to get teary-eyed, "I don't want sweets to be forbidden… It doesn't hurt… It doesn't hurt!!!"

Mori took away Hani's platter.

"No! That's my cake!!!"

"It's forbidden." Mori coldly replied.

"NOooooooOOOoOOOOoooo!!!!!"

And so, Hani's hell has begun

"Poor Hani-kun…" The seniors sympathized while Hani walked his way to class.

"I heard the host club is banning snacks right now."

"It must be a shock for him."

"But although this may sound indiscreet, his appearance now is just so… "

"Lovely, riiiiight!"

Hani sighed.

"Mitskuni," Takashi offered "your briecase."

"I can hold it by myself."

"No, show it to me."

Hani reluctantly handed it over and Mori poured out all the contents of his briefcase: candy; Lots of Candy.

"Takashi…" Suzu sighed from behind him.

"I was only going to look at them…" Hani defended.

"If you're only going to look, then take this." Mori handed him a flyer of assorted sweets.

"NoooOOOoooOOoooo!" Hani started crying.

"Calm down, Mitskuni…" Suzu kneeled beside him and embraced him.

"Don't be so harsh on him, Takashi. At least let him have one piece."

"You shouldn't be pampering him." Mori said with a stern face, "Don't give him any more sweets."

Suzu couldn't argue. She was his fiancée after all.

"Sorry, Mitskuni…"

"So you want to help but you can't 'cause Mori-sempai told you not to, right?"

Suzu and Haruhi met in the hallway after class and they were both on their way to the library.

"Yeah, that pretty much sums it up." Suzu sighed.

"Well, that's a tough one…" Haruhi thought, "What about unknowingly helping Hani-sempai? Like accidentally leaving candy on the floor? Mori-sempai didn't say anything about that now did he?"

"Yeah… I guess he didn't!" Suzu brightened up. "I had no idea you could be this devious, Haruhi-chan."

"I must have gotten it from the two idiots. But as much I'd like to help you, I'm not in the position to disobey Mori-sempai's orders." Haruhi shrugged indifferently.

"I figured as much."

They both chuckled.

"Huh?"

"What is it Haruh—nnph!"

Haruhi pulled Suzu behind a pillar.

"Whats's going on?!"

"Shh!"

Haruhi pointed at the two people in the distance.

"Hey, that's Takashi-kun with…"

They saw Mori with another girl in the distance… with him noticing them of course.

'Suzu is here.'

'What? Where?!'

'Right there, behind the pillar. She's with Haruhi-chan.'

'Oh, yeah. I see her… and she… IS SEEING US!!! WITH THIS GIRL!!! QUICK!! PRETEND TO BE SOMEONE ELSE!'

'That's a stupid idea.'

'What will she think?! What will she think?! What will she think?!'

'Don't worry. She trusts us. She knows we won't do anything dishonorable.'

'I suddenly feel that I'M the one freaking out!'

'That's because you are.'

The girl in front of you just ran away.

'Phew! She's gone!'

'But Suzu and Haruhi are gone too.'

'What?! Awww phooey…'

Haninozka dojo

Main building

8:00 pm

"Suzu-chaaann…" Hani whined.

Mori and Suzu decided to stay over to keep an eye on Hani (Mori mainly.)

Dinner just finished and Hani wants desserts… NOW.

"What is it Mitskuni?" She asked sweetly.

"I want some cake." He said with puffy eyes. "Please?"

"Ummm…" Suzu looked around anxiously.

"Please! Pretty please? Puhhhhllleeeeeaaaasee?"

"Oh alright. How can I say "no" to that face?"

"Yey!!! You're the best Suzu-chaaaan!"

She giggled with a gentle smile and kissed Hani on the cheek making him blush a bit.

"You're so cute!" She said as she got a plate and fork out of the shelf. "I'll even put a little strawberry just for you!"

"I don't think that's going to happen any time soon."

Alow stern voice cut in.

"Takashi-kun!" Suzu stood shocked.

"Takashi…" Hani clutching her loose yukata.

"Suzu, I thought I told you to stop giving him sweets."

"It was just this once…" She whispered.

"Really?" Mori got a bag from behind him and unloaded its contents just like what he did with Hani's briefcase. And like the briefcase, it was packed with the sweet drug known as candy.

"I found these scattered around in the Host club, in the hallway, in our classroom oh and did I mention the toilet?"

Suzu stood speechless not being able to look at her fiancée in the eye.

"Don't pick on Suzu-chan like that!" Hani spoke up. "She's just trying to make me feel better!"

"It's okay, Mitskuni-kun." Suzu said patting his back. "Why don't you go to your room? I'll even sing you the lullaby you love so much later on, ok?"

"O-Okay…" He hesitantly said as he walked off.

"Takashi-kun…" Suzu said as she reached up and caressed his cheek (you're quite tall actually, if you don't recall) "Don't push your self… how many times do I have to tell you that it's not your fault…"

He sighed as he held her hand.

"Go to my room after you tuck Mitskuni in." Was all he said as he planted a small kiss on Suzu's cheek.

"Umm.. yeahh sure." She said blushing a crimson red still not used to the new kind of attention he was giving her.

*knock* *knock* *knock*

"Mitskuni-kun, It's me."

"Come on in, Suzu-chan!"

Suzu entered his room not being fazed by the overwhelming pink bunny- patterned cuteness decorating the room.

"How are you feeling? Did you brush your teeth?" Suzu sat at the edge of his bed stroking him as if he was her own.

"I feel okay but my tooth is still swelling up…" he said disappointed, "I just wish the cavity will go away so I can eat cake with Usa-chan and everyone…"

"I know… I wish for that too… but maybe… I can help you get a little treat tomorrow!"

"Really? How? Won't Takashi get mad at you?"

"Don't worry. I know it's risky, but for you, I'll do anything. Best Friends!"

"Best Friends!"

You sat in your room waiting for Suzu to come.

'So, watcha planning big boy?'

'What do you mean?'

'You know! With the aloneness and your fiancé-ness and the hornine-'

'Who ever said I was HORNY?'

'Me. Don't deny it.'

'Hey hold o-'

You stopped your mental argument with your conscience as you heard a sweet voice singing a gentle and carefree nursery rhyme… the rhyme that she sung all those years ago…

Come Little Mitsu-kuni sing a song with me,

Sing play and dance with me and Takashi

All day together under the big cherry tree,

It feels so great to be free!

'Suzu…'

"Takashi-kun, may I come in? It's Suzu."

No answer.

"Takashi…" Suzu entered the room and found Mori sitting on his bed side staring blankly.

"Hey, you ok?" She sat beside him stoking his upper arm trying to soothe him. "You're so tense…"

"Suzu…" he said facing her "That song you just sung…"

"It was that old nursery rhyme from before… We never got to finish it…" She smiled gently.

"Why'd I have to be so careless? If I could have been more attentive, Mitskuni would probably be singing along with you right now…"

"I told you. It's not YOUR fault…"

Mori lowered his face making both their noses touch.

"Takashi…" She traced his quivering lip with her long slender fingers. "It's not your fault… don't be so over-reactive…"

"Kiss me."

"Taka-"

His lips landed onto hers into a prolonged kiss breaking it time and again for a breath of air.

This was the longest time they ever stayed this close. His lips savoring her taste, her cheeks flushed a crimson red. His hands finding their way to her lower back holding her close.

"Ta…ka…shi…" she said in between kisses.

Slowly, her hands made their way to his cheeks; cupping them.

It went on like this for a while. Savoring each other's tastes and keeping it innocent and sweet but…

Suddenly… he stopped.

It took them a while to catch their breath and even longer to break the silence…

"What's wrong?" She started.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that…" he said avoiding her gentle stare.

"If it made you calm down a bit… then it's okay…"

"… We should get to sleep…" he finally said after another awkward silence. "Will you be sleeping with me tonight?"

Suzu started giggling. "What an interesting choice of words…" She said playfully despite her still flushed cheeks.

"I-I mean, no…um… n-not like that! ...b-but it's not like I don't want to sleep with you… I-I mean…"

"*giggle* Don't worry, I get it. I'll be staying here tonight. Your mother said so as well."

Mori still looked flustered but they both ended up laughing at their silly "discoveries" about their blooming relationship.

The Next Day

Hallway to the Third Music Room

2:45 pm

'I wonder how Mitskuni is holding up…'

Suzu was on her way to the host club after finishing up her researches in the library.

It's been three days since the no-sweets-declaration and the strategies you planned out with him failed miserably.

"YOU JERK!"

*Thud!*

'That sounded like…'

Suzu's heart raced as she ran towards the host club.

'MISTSKUNI!'

"Waaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!" Hani rammed into Suzu as he sobbed and cried.

"Shhh it's okay…"

"Suzu-sempai!"

"Tamaki-kun, what happened?"

"Ahh, you see…"

The Next Day

Ouran High Host Club

10:00 am

"Yo! Kyouya-sempai!" The twins said in union as they approached their ever "loving mama".

"Hikaru, Kaouru. Aren't you supposed to be on duty today?"

"Everything seems to be back to normal eh, sempai?" Hikaru said completely oblivious to his sempai's remark.

"And Suzu-semai, Mori-sempai and Hani-sempai are closer than ever, no?" Kaouru said patting his sempai on the back.

"Don't touch me. And get back to wo-"

"Aaaaaaand SPEAKING of Hani-sempai, what ever happened to our operation?" Hikaru said saying the last part in a more sinister way.

"Hmmm… Now that you think about it, we haven't made much progress over the last few days… and Hani-sempai still owes me a favor…"

"A favor?" the twins said in union finally taking heed of their sempai's replies.

"Yes. I agreed to take part in this operation on one codition…"

"Which is…?"

"You'll see…" Kyouya said with an evil smirk "The operation will re-commence tomorrow. And this time, I'll make sure it works."

"Don't get too confident." Kaouru said.

"We have some tricks up our sleeves, too."

"We won't let you get all the credit." Hikaru added

"Heh, do as you please." Kyouya walked away doing the signature push-up-the-glasses-to-make-light-reflect-on-it move.

"I'll inform Hani-sempai about our plans; but for now, just get back to work."

"Aye, aye, captain!" The twins grinned nerves tingling for their plans tomorrow.

Oh and incase you guys forgot, the operation was supposed to make Suzu and Mori share their first kiss together which they already had at the chapter before. But the other host club members have no idea so yeah…

And if you're wondering about Suzu's "inferiority" over Mori's decisions it's because they're following the old tradition where the women of the family need to support their husbands with all that they do unless deemed necessary. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I hope the story went well and sorry again for the long wait.
