Tsuki's POV The day continued on with the members of the host club (excluding kyoya) trying to win the last available room in the pension. I tried on multiple different occasions to talk to Hikaru but he would just ignore me and run off trying to win more refresher points with kaoru. I decided to just let him have his space to feel better and try to focus on getting back to work. But i couldn't stop the empty/sad feeling I felt knowing Hikaru was mad at me still. Hikaru's POV kaoru and I had just won the refresher contest after our brotherly love display and got the last available room in the bed and breakfast. I was slightly happy that I got to sleep under the same roof as Tsuki but I was still really upset. Not only did she lie but she said she wanted a break... a fucking break! So she doesn't want to be around me all of a sudden? I should've known ... Kaoru's the only person I have, the only person I should've ever cared about. Everyone else just leaves the moment it gets to inconvenient for them. No one ever stays. I tremble as a clutch Kaoru's hand tighter trying to remind myself that I still had him and that he was still right there beside me, like he's always been. "I'm fine hikaru. I promise." He quietly says trying to calm my shaking form. "Mmmm" I just mumble back at him my mind to jumbled to think of a clear response. "So...when are you going to talk to Tsuki?" I scrunch my face up in indifference quickly removing my hand from his to cross my arms. "Why should I? She's the one that wanted a break" "Hikaru... I think we both knew what she meant by that. You guys were spending almost every hour of the day together. Even I was starting to wonder when you guys would take some space apart." "She lied to me Kaoru... she lied just so she wouldn't have to spend time with me." I lay down on the bed turning to look out the window. I was incredibly hurt and upset. "I don't need anyone but you Kaoru..." "So what now then?... are you going to break up with her?" My heart sank at the idea. Yeah I was mad at her but I still want to be with now I want nothing more than to hold her. "I don't know ... it doesn't matter anyway" I say to Kaoru with sadness and regret. "Well it's your choice Hikaru. I just hope you really think things through and don't act recklessly on your emotions. Come on ... let's join the others downstairs for dinner. We start to head downstairs and can already hear the commotion caused by tamaki. He's probably whining about losing his chance to live out his wild fantasies with Haruhi. With the dining room in view I can clearly see whats going on, and low and behold there's Tamaki and Honey Senpai crying there eyes out while Mori and kyoya are just sitting watching them through a tantrum. Haruhi is trying to pull herself out of a wailing tamaki's arms while Tsuki is trying to comfort a sniffling Honey with cake. I see the panic in her eyes as she tries to get him to calm down. I can't help the warm feeling that starts in my chest when I see her. She also looks so cute in her work uniform which I assume consist of a white button down and a short black skirt. Most of it being covered by a white and yellow apron. Her hair was tied up which is a rarity for her, but a favorite of mine because you can see more of her lovely face, and it leaves more of her neck exposed. A favorite spot of mine to leave love bites. She looks up catching my eye. My face grows hot from the brief contact but I close my eyes and turn my head still deciding to ignore her. When we reach the bottom of the stairs she approaches me and Kaoru with a smile. "Hi Hikaru and Kaoru!" I still don't look her way pretending I didn't hear anything. Out of the corner of my eye I can see her face drop upon my rejection. Kaoru gives out and exhausted sigh at my continued antics. "Hi Tsuki" he smiles at her " um.. I ... I ... just wanted to con...congratulate you on winning today." She fidgets with her fingers with eyes glued to the floor "Well did you ever think we'd lose" Kaoru pats her head smiling as he goes to take a seat with the rest of the club. I follow after him until I feel a little tug on my shirt. I give tsuki a side glance as she's grasping on to the hem of my shirt her face looking uncertain if she should continue trying. She looks up at me with glassy eyes, my heart lurches at the sight of her broken form. "Hikaru can we..." "Look how about you go get me a drink or something. You are suppose to be working here right?" I say to her with much more spite then I intended. I go and join the rest of the table as tsuki slowly walks into the back assumingely to get my drink. The night carries on more or less the same. Time skip night time I toss and turn not being able to sleep at all my mind filled with thoughts of a certain silver haired girl. I sit up tired looking out the window. I see a small figure sitting on the backyard porch, and the minute the moon shines on them I immediately recognize them. I'd know those silver locs anywhere. Coming down stairs And head towards the porch wanting desperately to be with the silvernette. I'm stopped in my tracks when I hear quiet sobs coming from the other side of the door. I clench at the pain In my chest hearing her cry. I'm unable to move as I lean against the door listening to her cry ... all night. Tsuki's POV It's the next morning and I groan as I throw my alarm clock against the wall. Not getting any sleep being up all night weeping on the porch. I pull myself into the bathroom getting undressed and stepping into the shower. I let the hot liquid soak into my skin, letting it run over my face so I couldn't tell the difference between my tears and the water. As I'm getting dressed I try to apply makeup to cover up my swollen and red eyes hoping it can fool everyone for the day. I tie my apron and head downstairs. I hear the twins coming down the stairs already bickering while everyone else has already been here for an hour. I don't dare turn around to face them and keep my head down resigning myself to just focus on working. I decided to just head into the back and see if anyone needed my help in the kitchen. By the time I come back something must have happened because Tamaki is ripping paper in the corner and Haruhi is having what seems to be a nice conversation with some guy. I take off my dirty apron and head over. As I get closer the guy looks strangely familiar but I can't put my finger on where I know him from. He glances at my approaching figure and a look of surprise strikes his face as he abruptly stands facing me. "Tsuki!" I jump in shock not only at the fact that he knows my name but just at his sudden movements. "Wait so you know Tsuki Chan too!?" Honey questions from behind "Seems like your quite popular" kyoya smirks at the sudden reunion. I stand there with a confused look on my face still not really recalling who this guy is. " it's me Arai! From the produce farm! You and your father would come every summer to buy fresh vegetables from my family." A light goes off in my head as I finally remember "Oh yeah! While your uncle and my father talked about produce we would play in the backyard." I give him a small smile but I'm caught off guard when he wraps me in a hug. Much to my and everyone's surprise. "It's been such a long time. I haven't seen you since I started middle school. I was so sad when you never came back for the summer. Uh ... um... you look good" he releases me from the embrace as he stands shuffling awkwardly. "Oh .. uh thank you. You look well too." Everyone ends up gathered around Arai at a table to hear stories about Haruhi and I from when we were younger. Hikaru and Kaoru decide to stay at the bar counter Hikaru looking extremely upset and Kaoru looking like he wanted to join. To my surprise Arai admits that he used to have crushes on both me And Haruhi when we were younger his confession causing me to blush. "God how stupid can you guys get! What's the point of sitting around talking about someone's past! It's obvious this guy still has a thing for Tsuki. Doesn't he understand that she doesnt want anything to do with a guy like him." "HIKARU!" I stand abruptly walking towards him " that's not true! You shouldn't say mean things like that!" "Oh so you do want something to do with that guy even though last I checked I was your boyfriend not him!" He comes over to yell back at me "We're just friends Hikaru." " OH YEAH! i bet you lied to me just so you could come work here so you'd run into your old boyfriend again HUH!" "N..no... that's ... that's not true..." I start to shrink from his accusations my eyes welling up with Unshed tears "WELL FINE! YOU WANT TO BE WITH HIM THAN GO! WE'RE OVER!" My eyes wide as the shock hits me of what Hikaru just said. He pushes by me running upstairs with Kaoru closely behind calling his name. I stand there with tears pouring from my eyes pooling on the hardwood floor below. My body shakes as I try to contain my sobs. I feel a hand gently touch my back trying to give me comfort. I jerk away from the contact scared turning to face a concerned Haruhi with blurred vision. I hiccup out a cry and turn to bold out the Inn door. "TSUKI! COME BACK!" I run with clouded vision heading no where. I just want to be alone...
