Unrequited Love

Chapter 22: The Real Tamaki

Tamaki Suou spent an hour in the study his head in his hands. He felt confused and lost in the same time. And his head was swimming because of the jet lag.

'I need to sleep' he thought and got up briefly massaging his forehead.

"Master Tamaki" Frederick called. "Are you all right?"

The young boy nodded and gave him a weak smile. "Yes, where is Haruhi?" he asked out of the blue.

"Lady Haruhi is with your mother, Sir" he answered politely.

"I see..." he bit his lip and sighed. "I'm going to my room"

"Do you need anything Sir?" he asked in concern. Tamaki continued to smile weakly, "No, I'm fine. Thanks!" he said and climbed up towards his room.

To his surprise he saw Haruhi there sitting in the bed clutching something in her hand. Her long hair was partially covering her beautiful sad face. The creaking of the door alerted her. Quickly she stood up and shoved whatever she was holding into her bag.

Tamaki was supposed to call out her name, when she stood up and walked pass him with a bitter note in her face. He sighed and continued to massage his aching head.

"The aspirin is in the table" she told him before leaving.

"ah" he muttered and watched her walked out. He approached the coffee table when he stopped short. Her bag was sitting in the table as well. A piece of paper was partial sticking out of the bag. Curiously he picked it up.

Her mother's picture.

That made his heart skip beat.

Apparently she was hurt really badly deep inside.

Mrs. Suou noticed the tension between his beloved son and her new daughter-in-law. She smiled quietly.

Ah, young love. You quarrel, you kiss and make up.

"Is the food good Haruh-chan?" she asked her cutting through out the silence. The petite girl nearly jumped. "Y-yes..its good Mrs. Suou"

She laughed, "Your also Mrs. Suou my dear so you can call me mother too, right Tamaki?"

"Oui" Tamaki answered in French absentmindedly. Haruhi glanced at him and rolled her eyes. After a more minutes Haruhi excused herself.

"You take a warm bath dear. You look really tired" Tamaki's mother told her softly. She smiled, "Thank you" she said.

"Did you do something bad Tamaki?" she asked his son as he walked beside her towards the living room.

He sighed. "I lied to her. I told her that you were really sick and all so she would agree to come here"

"That's not good dear. Your both married now, you should learn to be honest about everything" she told him touching his face.

"I know" he sighed. "Because of my lies, she seemed to miss her mother a lot. And that hurts me, knowing that I could never comfort her.."he shallowed.

"Aw, don't give up just like that Tamaki" she said warmly and squeezed his hand. "Put a little trust in your heart"

"But, I don't have confidence when it comes to Haruhi.."he muttered sinking back into a couch.

"Your in love with her" she smiled, "Believe in yourself"

---------------------------------------0o0

Tamaki went back to their room his headache gone but his body tired. He came in just in time to see Haruhi emerged out of the bathroom once again wearing his pajamas.

"The bathroom is all yours" she told him drying her hair.

"Uh..okay" he replied. At least she hadn't completely ignored him.

Then he noticed her going out of the room.

"W-where are you going?" he was almost too afraid to ask her.

"I need a glass of water" she said wearing a pair of fluffy slippers.

"I could ring Frederick or the maid for you" he said walking towards the intercom.

"No, I want to go and get it myself. I'm sure I won't get lost in the way" she said sarcastically. Tamaki tired of arguing nodded. "Very well"

Once again he watched her walked out of the door.

She was being independent and stubborn again. But then Haruhi is Haruhi.

Grabbing a robe he walked towards the bathroom hoping a warm soak in the tub would ease his tensions.

-------------------------0o0

Haruhi Fujioka was not likely to let Tamaki off the hook that easily. The boy was sometimes self centered although she, in the years she's been 'working' with the host club, Tamaki was sweet and caring. Yet he does things on impulse which can be a total headache.

After drinking she climbed the stairs when a peculiar smell entered her nose.

'what in the world?' she thought and followed the smell upstairs across the hallway. The room was in the opposite side right in the end, way pass theirs.

And it was halfway open.

"Hello?" she called.

"Haruhi?"

Tamaki's mother.

She stepped in, "I-I'm sorry! I didn't mean to..."she said lost for words. The beautiful woman was lying in her bed with dozens of bottles of medicines in the nearby table.

"You must have smelled the medicine. I'm sorry, I forgot to close the door" she apologized sitting up.

"ah..no, no.."Haruhi raised her hand, "Its all right!" she smiled nervously.

"I like your pajamas" Tamaki's mother replied returning her smile.

Her cheeks flared up and suddenly she felt conscious. "Erm..this belongs to Tamaki.."

"Is it a game your playing?"she teased.

"Actually.."she sighed.

The beautiful woman motioned her to sit beside her. "You haven't gotten intimate with Tamaki right?"

The blush on Haruhi's face never left. "Ah..I'm not good with that stuff" she grumbled looking away.

"Tamaki often talks about you. Everyday when he came back here he would talk about Haruhi Fujioka. A beautiful commoner as he would describe who opened his heart" she told her stroking her brown hair. Haruhi glanced at her calm face.

"My son is a good boy. He hardly has any playmates when he lived here. He would stay by my side and often watch me, or if not he would play the piano..have you heard it?" she asked. Haruhi nodded. "His good"

"I was often sick" she said with a bitter tone in her voice. "I was not a good mother to him. I deprived him from his childhood and look he ended up sacrificing everything just for me"

"Mother" she said for the first time. "Don't say that..you must be proud that Tamaki did all that for you. He loves you and that.."her voice trailed off. "That's what makes Tamaki a wonderful person.."she said her heart full of emotion. Suddenly realization hit her. Maybe she was too harsh on Tamaki.

"Thank you Haruhi. I'm glad that he fell in love with the right person." she said kissing her forehead.

Haruhi's heart began to flatter. Her eyes were watery. This was how it feels to be with your mother. "His lucky to have a mom like you"she added.

"Well, I have two children" she winked. "I wish to see my grand children too"

Haruhi laughed. "You said the same thing as Mr. Suou"

"By the way" she said briefly standing up. "I have something to give you"

"Really?" she asked curiously.

------------------------------0o0

"What a nice feeling" Tamaki replied out loud and stepped out of the bathroom. His hair was damped and he was still wearing his white bathrobe.

"Tamaki"

His heart did a double take.

He searched the room and found Haruhi sitting in the bed facing the window. "Is your head okay?" she asked in a small voice.

"Uh..yeah" he replied looking at her. Then it hit him, she wasn't wearing his pajamas anymore but a cute night gown that had thin straps clinging to her shoulders.

"H-Haruhi.."he muttered and walked towards her with a face flushed.

"What?" she said looking irritated.

"What happened to my pajamas?" he asked, 'man she looked so good' his mind echoed.

"I burned it" she said casually.

"WHAT?" he cried, "th-that was my favorite pajamas" he muttered like a child. Hauhi pulled his arm and motioned him to sit beside her.

"Shut up and be quiet Tamaki Suou" she told him.

He sat down and glanced outside. "What are you doing anyway?"

"Watching the moon" she answered.

"Do you want to take a walk?" he offered.

"Its too cold and besides" she glanced at him, "your all washed up and ready for bed"

"I don't mind, if it makes you happy" he said quietly.

Haruhi reached over and turned off some of the lights, leaving just two lampshades on. "There the moon looks brighter"

He nodded and looked down at his hands. "De sole, Haruhi"

"Huh" she looked at his handsome face.

"I'm sorry, for everything" he repeated now in english.

She smiled, "French is such a romantic language. I wonder someone born with its blood doesn't know how to use it well"

He sank in his seat. "Did you really burn my pajamas?" he asked again, not letting go of the topic.

"Stupid Tamaki" she replied touching his face. He looked at her with wide eyes. Those beautiful blue violet eyes.

"Kiss Me" she said to him.

"Uh.."he blinked back then took her hand and kissed her softly in the lips then pulled away. Haruhi wrapped her hands around Tamaki's neck and shoulder and pulled him back. He smelled so damn good.

"I love you Tamaki" she whispered before continuing the kiss. Tamaki's heart began to flutter happily and kissed her back passionately his hands all over her petite body.

"This time no more interruptions" he muttered between kisses and pushed her gently back into the bed. She nodded her face flushed, "Don't go answering any phone calls" she whispered her lips brushing into his.

"You have my word" he said kissing her neck. She let out a soft moan. "Tamaki.." she whispered drawing her breath. His lips were a wonder and she was intoxicated by his sweet smell.

"I promise to make you happy Haruhi" he whispered looking momentarily at her beautiful figure. The straps of her night gown were already off her shoulders.

She just nodded, trying to keep up with his kisses.

"Je t'aime beaucoucoup, cheri"
