The fire was blazing and everyone was warm. Haruhi sighed as the twins moved to sit on either side of her. Suddenly, Kyouya shoved them aside and handed Haruhi a stick.
"Marshmallow roasting," he said simply. Haruhi smiled. The sun had begun to set, and Hani, who was scared of the dark, inched up close to Haruhi. Mori sat on the log as well, filling it so the others were forced to sit on the other side of the fire. Tamaki was pushed onto the floor by Kyouya, earning the shadow king the last open spot on the logs.
"But Kyouya-senpai, I don't like marshmallows…" Haruhi said. Hani laid his head on her lap and smiled.
"I'll have them Haru-chan!" He piped up. Haruhi smiled.
"Alright…" Across the fire, all four of the boys scowled.
Haruhi laughed as the twins described how they scared their aunt with a frog as kids. Blowing on the marshmallow, she placed the stick in Hani's mouth, who closed it around the food, allowing it to be left in his mouth. The sun had long set, and now the stars were out. Embers danced into the sky, and the light reflected across Haruhi's face. The air began to get cooler. Haruhi shivered a bit, and Hani took off his jacket and held it up for her.
"Here, take it Haru-chan!" he said sweetly. Haruhi thanked him and draped the jacket over her shoulders. Kyouya actually had to hold Hikaru back to prevent him from killing the loli-shota boy. Haruhi didn't notice, and instead, began telling everyone about a friend she used to have. Soon she had everyone in tears from laughing. Well, everyone but Mori obviously. Haruhi pulled another marshmallow out of the heat and fed it to Hani, who smiled and hugged Haruhi. Tamaki was positively hysterical. Now Kaoru had his arms around Hikaru's waist, trying to restrain him while Kyouya easily held Tamaki back. Mori glared threateningly at Tamaki and Hikaru, warning them to dare try and hurt his cousin. That calmed them both down instantly as neither wanted to risk getting beat up by the kendo champion. Neither Hani nor Haruhi noticed this, for they were giggling at a marshmallow that had slipped off the stick and was now oozing over the fire logs. Hani took the next marshmallow off the stick and held it up for Mori to eat. He shook his head, but ate it anyway. Hani squealed and hugged both his cousin and Haruhi, who giggled. Trying to calm everyone down, Kyouya began telling the story of how he and Tamaki met. Haruhi laughed along with everyone else as she continued to feed Hani marshmallows. Tamaki just sulked.
As the embers of the fire glowed red, Kyouya announced it was time to sleep. Haruhi had no objections, but the twins decided to bother him.
"But mom," Hikaru moaned pathetically, clinging to Kaoru.
"We don't want to go to bed." Kaoru finished his brother's words, also holding Hikaru. Kyouya groaned and rolled his eyes, but was rescued by Mori, who easily picked the two up around their waists and carried them to their tent, tossing them in and zipping the door closed. Haruhi giggled and handed Hani his jacket back.
"Thanks Haru-chan!" Hani cooed, hugging Haruhi and then skipping off to join Mori in his tent. Haruhi yawned and stood.
"Good night Kyouya-senpai." She muttered, moving towards her tent.
