Unrequited Love
Chapter 29: Daddy
"Ah, its so beautiful" Haruhi muttered looking outside from the second story building of Ouran University. The leaves were slowly dropping from the trees decorating the court yard, like a sea of brown leaves. Some of the students were busy playing and jumping around the leaves.
"Lady Haruhi" a female voice replied. Haruhi nearly jumped. No one would ever addressed her like that except in the Suou mansion. She turned and saw a woman in her mid thirties giving her a small bow.
"Ah..Yes.."she answered shyly. She still wasn't used to being called like that.
"Chairman Suou" she began speaking lightly, "wants to see you in his office now"
'Tamaki's dad?' she wondered silently. She glanced at the woman who was waiting for her reply.
"Oh, all right" she said following her. She lead her to the fifth floor.
"Chairman Suou is out of the office, but he has instructed that you please wait for him" she said and opened the door for her. Haruhi nodded and stepped inside the spacious office.
She sat on one of the leather couches and glanced around.
First time she came to that very room was a few years back, together with her father. Then she noticed a couple of picture frames in the main table.
Curiously she stood up and took a peak.
There were several pictures of Tamaki as a baby, with him and his mother, Tamaki as he is right now and.. it the tip was her wedding photo with Tamaki. A smile played in her lips.
Mr. Yuzuru Suou was a nice man. She thought at first she had an impression that he was strict and serious yet apparently Tamaki had inherited a few traits from him which included his way around girls. He handed her a flower before to Tamaki's dismay.
Then the doorknob click open and she heard voices. Haruhi quickly returned to her seat and saw Yuzuru with Tamaki.
"Ah Haruhi" he greeted smiling at her. Tamaki looked at her in surprise, "Haruhi, what are you doing here?" he asked walking towards her.
"I invited her" Yuzuru replied before she can say anything.
Tamaki stared at his father, "Really? Why? Anything wrong?"
Yuzuru let out a small laugh and sat on his chair. "Don't get too nervous Tamaki" he said with a smile. "Can't I see my own daughter-in-law?"
Haruhi grinned.
"Well, I thought she was having trouble at school" Tamaki grumbled and sat down on another couch opposite Haruhi's.
"My daughter-in-law the scholarship student, having trouble? That's so unlikely" Yuzuru replied. "She's as smart as you Tamaki, unless..." he rested his head in his left hand.
Haruhi blinked back.
"Unless what?" Tamaki asked curiously.
"You've been doing other things at night aside from studying" he teased.
"Dad!" Tamaki blushed. Haruhi looked away biting her lip.
"Oh..did I hit something right?" he asked eagerly.
"No" Tamaki muttered. Yuzuru laughed at the both of them.
"Come on, I'm going to treat you for lunch and in I want something in return.." he said standing up.
"What is it?" Tamaki and Haruhi asked in unison.
"I need a grandchild badly" he sighed, "I mean, its been only Tamaki and who knows.." he shrugged his shoulders and caught Haruhi's and Tamaki's hand pulling them up. "..your grandmother may have a change of heart"
"Well.." Haruhi shifted.
"Dad, we're still young, I haven't finished college yet" Tamaki explained. Haruhi nodded, "I would want to finish my studies too.."
Yuzuru sighed. "Okay, I can't argue with that..but let's go grab a bite. I'm hungry!" he said placing his arms on both his shoulders.
Haruhi smiled happily. She was grateful that Tamaki's dad turned out to be a nice person.

She yawned and yawned some more. The rain was softly pouring outside. She raised up her head and placed down the booking she was reading. Even in a Friday night, she would find herself studying. Sometimes it was awfully too quiet living in the Suou Mansion.
Haruhi stepped out of the library, her sanctuary if she wanted to be alone, and walked across the long carpeted hall when she heard soft piano music from downstairs.
"Tamaki" she whispered. She walked down and found him playing a beautiful musical piece, his eyes closed, his fingers sliding into the keys.
She sat beside him.
"Haruhi" he opened his eyes and smiled at her.
"Beautiful" she said.
"Sometimes I play when I miss my mom" he admitted.
"I know what you mean" she said softly.
He stopped and picked up his mobile phone. "Nee, Haruhi lets take a picture!" he said excitedly.
"Eh?" she said blinking back.
"I want one in my phone" he whined.
"Fine" she muttered as Tamaki excitedly raised the phone in front of their faces and he placed his free hand in her shoulder. "Smile!" he said happily. Haruhi smiled.
-click-
Tamaki looked at his phone with a big smile in his face.
"Pretty!" he gushed showing it to her. Haruhi rolled her brown eyes and stood up. "I'm taking a bath"
"Haruhi" her husband said in a serious tone. She stopped and glanced down at him. "Yes?"
"Do you want to spend the weekend in your house?" he asked looking up at her. She blinked back trying to register what he just said. "Really?"
He nodded.
"O-of course! I want to see my father" she smiled crookedly, "That's what I wanted to tell you last night!"
His eyebrows met, "Huh? Last night? I don't recall you wanting to tell me that.."
"Anyway" she clasped both of her hands, "I'm going to pack"
Tamaki stood up, "me too!" and followed her upstairs.
"I can't wait to see Dad again" Haruhi replied happily. Tamaki smiled then his heart skipped a beat. He was going to spend the weekend with his father-in-law. He knew the man gave him dagger looks whenever he was around.
'But this is for Haruhi. I should try my best to get along with her father' he thought.

'Judgment day' Tamaki thought nervously as they stood in front of Haruhi's small apartment. He watched her fumbled through her bad for the house keys.
"Oh, you still got those?" he asked.
"Yeah, its for emergency" she said and opened the door. "Dad's not yet home anyway, so you can place the bags in my old room"
They walked in and immediately their faces fell.
It was a mess. The clothes were every where and dishes were left in the sink.
"Oh gosh" Haruhi muttered, "He must be in a hurry to leave all the time" she added and began picking up the clothes. Tamaki who came back from the room stared at her. "What are you doing Haruhi?"
"Cleaning" she replied, "Don't just stand there, help me"
"Ah, y-yes!" he exclaimed and followed what she was doing. Haruhi headed to the closet and got out a basket. "Place it all here"
"Hai!" he replied and dropped all the clothes in the basket. "Then what?"
"I'm going to wash them" she said.
Tamaki's blue violet eyes widened. "No kidding? All of that!" Haruhi rolled her eyes. "I'm going to use the washing machine. Come with me and carry that basket so you'll learn"
"O-okay" he nodded.
Tamaki found it amusing 'doing the laundry'. All those bubbles going round and round into that little machine.
"Oh wow Haruhi, did you see it? That thing was spinning so fast!" he said happily as they hanged all the clothes.
Haruhi glanced at him and gave out a small laugh. "You look like a child Tamaki"
"There's a lot of things I need to know about the commoner's world" he replied imitating the way she was hanging the clothes. "It's actually fun"
"Your world is sometimes boring" she said to him.
"Well, yeah I must admit" he replied with a sigh the wind blowing in his blonde hair, "And your world is so interesting. I'm glad I married you!" he said hugging her tightly all of a sudden.
"Eyah! Not here" she exclaimed pushing him away.
After they were done, Haruhi went over the kitchen and let out a loud sigh. "This is our next project Tamaki"
"What?" he asked, "We're going to clean this mess?" he asked in dismay.
"Yes, starting washing those dishes" she instructed, "I'm going to wipe the table" she said and went to get a rug.
"H-Haruhi.." he called, "How do you wash the dishes?" he asked looking helplessly at the pile of plates, spoons on top of the sink.
"Use the foam and dip it in the soap then squeeze to make the bubbles come out then use it to clean the dishes" she instructed looking momentarily at him.
"Oh..o-okay" he said nervously. After a few minutes Haruhi noticed that Tamaki still was washing the same plate for the last five minutes. Creating more bubbles.
"Hey? What are you doing?" she asked, dropped her rag and stood beside him. "I'm washing it like you said" he replied proudly.
Haruhi groaned loudly. "You have to rinse it" she said taking the plate from his hands and turned on the faucet.
"You didn't tell me that" he pouted.
"This is how you do it" she said to him. The tall boy nodded and glanced at her serious face.
"Haruhi" he replied.
"Huh?" she looked up and then he cupped her face with his soapy hands. "TAMAKI!" she exclaimed. He laughed. "Oh, I love your beard Haruhi. Very elegant indeed" he said with a big grin.
"I'll get you for that" she said splashing him water.
"Hey!" he said turning his head to avoid the water.
She laughed. "Serves you right" she said.
"Welll.. since this is war, let's make up so give me a hug" he said opening his arms. "If you can catch me!" she said and ran away from him. But then her feet caught the rag in the floor. She felt herself falling when Tamaki caught her by the waist and pulled her before she could fall.
"Haruhi" he said breathing hard.
His face was now close to hers. She looked at his eyes and draw her breath.
He leaned closer when..
"Haruhi! Are you home?" a singsong voice replied and it was coming nearer.
'I'm dead meat' Tamaki thought in horror.
"Ha-ru..." Ranka stopped his mouth dropped open and he dropped the bag he was holding.
"Why you little!"
