A/N: Sorry it took so long! I've been really busy, and I've also been pretty stumped on what to do for this paring, but finally: Hunny/Haruhi!

The bells chimed five and the sun was still shining—thus is the magic of spring. Haruhi shuffled through the paperwork and finally closed the accounts for the club that day. She had begun to appreciate all that Kyoya had done for them when he was handling the business in the club. Although sometimes he stopped by and helped out, Haruhi was mostly on her own in the area since he graduated. Hikaru and Kaoru had another appointment with a modeling agency at four-thirty, so they had left early, and the other members had gone home just a while ago, leaving Haruhi packing up on her own. She took a final glance around the third music room before sliding the folders comfortably into her bag, and locking up for the day.
As she shuffled down the hallway she heard a couple girls talking. "Did you know? She's really engaged to a prince!" They were squealing about some unknown person among the many royalty in the school.
This turned Haruhi's thought back to her little dilemma with six such "princes".
She sighed, and wondered whom she'd choose. Kaoru was sweet, and would make a wonderful husband, and Hikaru loved her more than anything, and thinking about Kyoya still made her heart beat faster. The dilemma was getting worse and worse.
And next came something to add to it.
"HARU-CHAN, HARU-CHAN!"
Haruhi froze at the gates of the school to see Hunny waving frantically at her, hugging Usa-chan with his free hand.
"Ah… Hi Hunny-senpai…" Haruhi muttered, feeling a growing headache coming on.
"Usa-chan and I decided we wanted to take a walk with you, Haru-chan!" Hunny grinned, taking Haruhi's hand.
The two walked for a little while in relative silence, although Hunny was humming some song from an anime.
"Ah, Hunny-senpai, I have a question for you." Haruhi asked after a while.
"What is it Haru-chan?" Hunny looked up at her, and they stopped, dropping to sit on a bench.
"Um… why do you want to marry me? I mean, what good would it do you?" Haruhi asked, fidgeting with her hands.
Hunny smiled. "That's easy. Because Haru-chan is such a nice person, and I'm sure she'd be lots of fun! My parents want me to get married, and I thought Haru-chan would be perfect. We could be together all the time, and we could snuggle during thunderstorms when Haru-chan is scared, and we could travel lots of places together with Takashi and Usa-chan!"
Haruhi blinked. His reasons were pure but they were so… shallow. "Is that all?" Haruhi asked finally.
There was a pause before Hunny spoke again. "Well, I just… don't want to be away from you. I love Haru-chan, but I never get to see you… and it makes me sad… I don't want to be alone… and when I'm not with you… I feel alone… Even Takashi isn't around as often…"
Haruhi sighed. "Hunny-senpai, you're not alone. Mori-senpai is ALWAYS looking out for you, even if you don't realize it yourself, and any of the others are only a phone call away. If you ever feel lonely, you have my number, you can call anytime!" Haruhi smiled. "You have more than you could ever imagine. Even Usa-chan sticks by you all these years, even though you're probably too old for him." She added with a slight laugh.
Hunny paused to look at Usa-chan before looking back at Haruhi. He broke into a wide grin, standing up and grabbing her into a sudden hug, spinning her around. "See, Haru-chan always makes me feel better, and that's why I want to spend the rest of my life with you!" Hunny grinned at a dizzy Haruhi. "I have to go now, but… if you choose me, I promise to make everyday fun for you, just like you do for me!" Hunny laughed, before waving and running off.
Haruhi blinked for a long time. "Gone like the wind…"

Nyahh, Mori is next, and I'm saving our King for last. I want to put a little spice into Mori's character though; he's really two-dimensional in the show. This calls for… ANGST!… or something.. XD
