THIS IS SO SHORT! Guys I'm really sorry for neglecting this story for so long, it's been months! Really, I'm the worst.
Anyway, this the last chapter. Hope you enjoyed it!
"Right down here." The man said, opening the door. "Go ahead and pick out the one you want."
The host club was at the local animal shelter following the arrest of Shou Wakahisa. It had taken the officials a few days to sort through all the dogs and ship them to the shelter, but they were there now, ready to be adopted.
"We have to find Marley." Honey said determinedly. Antoinette barked in agreement.
At the sound of Antoinette's bark, Marley's eyes opened. He was in a cage especially made for small dogs. Though he was glad to be away from Mr. Wakahisa's dingy apartment, he didn't appreciate the cage. He saw the group and yipped joyfully. I knew they'd come! He thought.
"There he is!" Honey and Haruhi said in unison. Honey and Mori walked up to Marley in the cage. Haruhi hung back, smiling a little.
"That one?" The man said. "Alright, there's an adoption fee of 3,000 yen." He unlocked the cage and Marley bounded out, slobbering all over Honey's face.
"No problem." Mori said, handing the man the money.
"Marley, I missed you." Honey said. Marley yipped once more and licked his cheek.
Once they'd gotten everything sorted out and the necessary papers signed, everyone could breathe easier. Antoinette bounded up to Marley.
She licked him. "I'm so glad you're safe." She flicked her brown eyes to Tamaki. "Oh, and I have news."
Marley twitched his ears. "Good news, I hope."
Antoinette wagged her tail. "Very good news. Tamaki and Kyoya are now dating."
Marley glanced at them, up ahead. Tamaki was being his usual self, talking loudly and gesticulating wildly. Kyoya smiled faintly as the blond burst into laughter and laid his head on Kyoya's shoulder.
Marley looked back at Antoinette. "They seem very happy."
The group exited the animal shelter. Honey's limo was waiting, and they all piled in. Antoinette nudged Marley, and he followed her gaze to the sidewalk, where Mori and Haruhi hung back.
"I guess now that Marley's back, everything will go back to normal, huh?" Haruhi was saying. Mori nodded.
"Haruhi-" He started. She looked up at him with her signature doe eyes.
From inside the car, Antoinette and Marley watched the pair as the windows rolled up. Either the rest of the club had forgotten about them, or they had decided to give them a bit of privacy, for the car began driving away. Just before they turned the corner, the dogs witnessed Mori and Haruhi kiss briefly.
Mori broke away, blushing, and looked around. "They've left us." He stated, in some surprise.
"That's okay," Haruhi said, taking his hand, "We can walk."
