Buddies List

Hiding in her room, underneath the sheets of her bed, she silently cursed the rain. Forget needing rain for crops to feed people - she wanted the thunder and lightning to go away.

She couldn't understand her luck. She left Mori-senpai's house with some food and found herself running for her life. As she ran down the corner near her house, she swore she saw a limo.

Shaking the thought away, she simply stayed there. The poor cross-dressing girl tried to remember how her fear was created...until she heard a knock. The plan was denied when a loud BOOM was heard; the sky lit up. A muffled scream was let out of her small, petite frame. She began to softly cry, hating herself for having such a silly fear in the first place.

It didn't help when she heard the door being kicked open and a loud - "HARUHI! Daddy's here!" The French man ran towards her room, and found her in her hiding spot. "Haruhi...its okay." He smiled, soaked to the bone, and his chest heaving, as if he ran through the storm. She looked up into his violet eyes and found a strange comfort from the idiot that stood in front of her.

She slowly ran to him as she hugged him. Forgetting his damp clothes, she found herself falling to the floor after another rumble and flash was pushed through the sky. His small, worried smile was covered up for the blood rushing through his face. His hands brushed against his "daughter's" hair, his voice were spilling out incoherent nothings into the silent room.

Her face, her body, everything about her was rigid. Thankfully, the rain was subsiding and it slowly went away, like the blush on Tamaki's face. He let out an exasperated sigh as he looked down at her.

"Ahhh, Haruhi. Daddy was so worried about you. As soon as I heard it was raining, I knew that needed to come right over!" He said, nodding as she got off him, which she shouldn't have.

Poor Tamaki didn't realize that Haruhi was wearing a cotton dress. A white cotton dress. And he was quite wet. He shielded his eyes, and let out a girly scream.

"HARUHI! You aren't decent!"

Haruhi, blinked and looked down at her white dress. She shook her head. It wasn't showing much, but Tamaki took everything to an extreme. She nodded.

"Here, senpai." She handed him a towel, and put a sweatshirt over her torso. Guiding the young fool towards the kitchen, she offered him some tea.

"Ah. I couldn't take away your tea. It must be something so cheap, yet expensive to you! It will probably take you weeks to buy another box." His arms flailed as he refused.

Rolling her eyes, she couldn't help but laugh. "Senpai, I have plenty. Hold on."

Tamaki stared at her, and then peered at her. She wasn't as upset as he imagined her to be. He expected her to thank him, and appreciate him. If he was lucky...maybe she would even put him on her phone under 'Buddies'. Sighing, he found himself in his corner. Doom gloomed over him as he twiddled with his fingers.

"Haruhi will never put Daddy on the Buddies' list." He mumbled. Haruhi looked at her upperclassman and shook her head.

"Senpai...I haven't anything to serve you with the tea." It was a flat-out lie, but she didn't want to know how upset he would be if she told him the food was from Mori-senpai's house. "Would you come with me to the store?"

Tamaki snapped out of his emo corner and waltzed over to her, clasping his hands and her.

"Oh, Daddy knew his little daughter would always take care of him! Thank you, Haruhi...but would a commoner be able to afford anything but saltine crackers?" He asked, his innocence was blinding as she tried not hard to smack him.

"Right, right. I think I can suffer a few set backs." She said sarcastically and opened the door.

As they walked down the sidewalk, Haruhi looked around suspiciously.

"Tamaki-senpai...where is your limo?" His face lit up as he grinned boyishly.

"Ah. Its at home."

"So...it dropped you off at my place?"

"No. I ran from my house. I came right before it rained in the limo, because I checked the Weather Station. I saw that your lights were out so I thought you were not home. When I got home, I then wondered what would happen to my poor Haruhi, if my darling daughter was stuck somewhere or came running home. My driver was already dismissed for the day, so I...ran to your house. Its pretty silly."

"Yes...you know you can't always come over when it rains."

He laughed...that cute laugh he had when they were playing Hide-and-Seek. "I know, Haruhi. But it doesn't matter. I made a promise with you. So, if I can't come over...I'll get someone from the Host Club to come over. Being alone - its not fun." He nodded, and looked down at her, still smiling.

Haruhi felt a blush urging its way...forcing its way up, but somehow she fought it. Thankfully they had made it there just so the awkward silence didn't come between the special moment they shared.

'Maybe...he's not an idiot after all.' Haruhi thought to herself as she instantly spoke to soon. There was Tamaki, peering at the vending machines.

"Haruhi!" He exclaimed. "Is this some sort of commoners' fun devices?" He asked.

"Senpai...you just pick a machine and put a quarter in. Turn the knob and you get a prize."

He squealed in delight and put a quarter in from his pocket. Turning the knob, he peered down at the strange contraption. He jumped back as it rattled and a plastic container came out. He scrambled to get it as it rolled across the floor. Grabbing it he did a jump of joy and opened it. He stared at whatwas in it. He stared until something clicked. He turned to Haruhi, a faint blush on his face, as he handed the container to her.

"Here...Haruhi. You wouldn't take any of my diamond rings or ruby earrings...so I hope you will take this." With both hands free when she took it, they instantly began to fidget with anticipation.

"Ah...thank you, Tamaki." She smiled and put the small plastic ring on her finger. It was gaudy, yet she still liked it. Tamaki, the poor guy, had a heart attack.

Not only did she accept his gift...she called him without a title.

"Ha-Ha-Haruhi." He blushed, as he was about to hug her. "I -" She was gone. He saw her trail into the store. "Haruhi, what do you like to eat with tea? Look! These cookies are shaped like animals! And they have frosting on them. I'm sure Hunny-senpai would like these." He nodded, and grabbed 5 bags. "One for us, one for Mori-senpai, one for mommy, and one for those evil twins." He counted on a spare hand.

"That's a good idea, senpai."

They made their way to the check-out counter. Tamaki paid, insisting That's what fathers do and they left to have their tea.

By the time they were finished, Tamaki had to leave.

"Ah, thanks for everything today, Haruhi." He said, scratching his cheek as he leaned against the door frame. He turned to leave before Haruhi spoke up.

"Wait! Senpai...what is your number. I have Hikaru and Kaoru's number and Kyoya-senpai's and I have both Mori-senpai's and Hunny-senpai's numbers. What is yours?"

He told her and on his way back he was grinning like an idiot.

Haruhi put his number under Buddies.

He had no idea what was happening to him.

He still wasn't sure if he liked her for being a commoner or for being a wonderful friend.

No matter which way he looked at it, he still couldn't explain the way he always blushed and got flustered around her. Nor could he understand why the little things she did would light up his day.

He couldn't think about it, and now was a perfect time to call Mommy. At least he would know what was wrong with him.

A/N - Chapter Four is complete! I hope you enjoyed. I really had fun writing Tamaki. However, now I'm confused. I have no idea who Haruhi should end up with!

I hope I had them both in character. I think I did, but review. Oh, and thank you so much. I never thought that I would get this many reviews and hits. I'm very excited and I hope that you keep with me as I make this up as I go.

If you review, I want to know the good and the bad!
