In case you were wondering, probably not, the "It's getting more impossible to keep a straight face and be trusted with 'I love you." line in the summary was a lyric from Blue October's Sexual Power-trip. Weird name, good song. I couldn't help it because I fit the situation.

This is the last chapter, the epilogue. Hopefully, you'll get a laugh or a smirk. :

By the way, for you who are wondering, I am going to be picking back up on Devil's Matchmaker soon. I've just been exploring one shots. Maybe one more, or I'll start right after this is finished. So sit tight 'cause it will be up soon. Ouran is the only fan fiction I write so that's why there's a lot, ha ha.

"Haruhi...do you think you could teach me one of your recipes sometime?" A girl asked, sitting with Haruhi and three other females at one of the many tables.

"Yes, but, unfortunately, I can't teach you in person. I can certainly leave you one, though I'd have to write it down. I'm sorry." She smiled. Haruhi was entertaining the ladies while the current girl looked disappointed.

"I was hoping you could..."

"I can't, I'm very sorry."

"Haruhi?"

"Yes?" She answered one girl, whom she thought had addressed her. That girl was looking up above Haruhi's head.

"Ahem." Someone cleared their throat from behind her. She slowly turned around to face them

"...K-Kyoya!" She almost fell off her chair, luckily, he caught her arm and set her up right.

"Hello. Good afternoon, ladies." He bowed slightly before returning to Haruhi. "I have some matters I want to...discuss."

"Uh...alright." She stood up and pushed in her chair, awkwardly smiling to the girls. "If you'll excuse me for a moment..."

"Not a problem!" One waved, grinning and blushing.

"In case, you hadn't noticed, I'm trying to work off my debt." Haruhi huffed, crossing her arms over her chest. They were in his office, her sitting on the couch Tamaki had previously sprawled on, and Kyoya in his office chair once again.

"I know." he smiled. "And you're doing very good. I have a present for you as a keep-up-the-good-work gift. I think you'll like it."

"I'm not making any promises." She stated wearily. He nodded and picked up an envelope laying on his desk.

"Here. Read it now if you'd like." He said, handing it to her. Haruhi flipped it over, staring at it curiously. On the back, there was a cheap sticker of a rose, sealing the envelope. She looked up with a feeling of remorse, regret, and annoyance. "Don't tell me..."

He nodded again.

"Ugh." she muttered, opening up the letter.

Dear Haruhi,

Hello. For once, I refuse to waste my time with petty words, and get right to the point. There's something I've kept from you, which I do not have the courage to tell you face to face. So, please think about this through an open mind, as well as the possibilities. Spare me pity and sympathy for what I am about to say, I'll try and make it as short as I possibly can.

Through all the words I could consider to use, none sound as right as the simplest, most common ones to form that simple, common phrase: I love you. I love you, Haruhi. I really do.

I would list the reasons, but it'd be too long, and I wouldn't want to bore you. Even then, I wouldn't be able to form something coherent enough for you to understand. I'm not saying you're incompetent, not at all. But the way I feel for you in unexplainable, and I'd sound like an old drunken, bumbling fool ranting to you about this certain woman I loved. You probably wouldn't even be able to catch her name. Since you won't, I'll tell you now. It would be yours.

I don't care if you don't feel the same. I'd be ecstatic if you did. Please, if you could get back to me, I'd appreciate it very much. Never doubt the words that come from my lips or my hand, for they will always be true.

Love,

Tamaki

Kyoya smirked as Haruhi slowly looked up, blushing.

"Goodbye!" The last customer waved as she left, closing the door behind her.

"See you again!" The entire Host Club replied. As soon as the click was heard, the twins plopped down on a couch, sighing deeply. Hunny ran off to find some cake and, as usual, Mori was trailing close behind. All that stood silently were Tamaki and Haruhi, with Kyoya wandering off.

Her gaze was fixed downwards as her foot tapped. Tamaki bent down slightly in order for him to look up at her, right in the way of her eyesight.

"Is something troubling you?"

She raised her hands up, waving them in front of her rapidly. "N-No, nothing at all. But um..."

"Yes?" He straightened up, still looking at her curiously.

"I want to..um..." She winced quickly and wrapped her hands around and behind his tie, beginning to divert her attention down again, though her mind was obviously on a different level in an entirely different world. "... I wanted to thank you for the letter."

Tamaki blushed redder than any red known to man by about two shades. And as her thumbs did little circles on the silk of the tie...? That didn't help. "W-what L-l-letter?"

"The one you gave me..."

Footsteps approached once again and Tamaki whipped around only to see the devil's smile calmly shine back at him. Slowly, the puzzle pieces began to fit together.

"What?" Haruhi asked, stopping altogether and taking a step back. "What is it?"

Kyoya winked at Tamaki as he strolled by. You...you are evil. he mouthed, grinning. "Nothing." he said back to Haruhi, smiling. Though he did notice the prying eyes of four other members as he took her hand in his. "Shall we talk about this somewhere more...private?"

Kyoya reminisced on his earlier words as he walked down the North Hall in the South Wing on the top floor.

One way or another, she is going to find out.

He just happened to be that other way.

End.

Originally, this was a one shot. Then a two-shot. Both were aimed at specifically humor. Then I decided, why not a happy, romantic ending? One my levels of romance this is probably a 2. Lmao, but I'm going to start getting into more deeper romance with one shots, two shots, and full fanfics. If you are one of my loyal fans, such as Obscure Entity...thank you. ;-; You are so nice and I appreciate the reviews. Expect more from me in the future. :)

Byee...
