Title: White Chocolate Box

Word Count: 679

Prompt: Valentine's Day


A tall blonde man with the bluest of eyes lied about lazily on one of the many couches inside the third music room. Next to him was a small bag filled to the brim with candy and small pieces of chocolates, which were satisfying his current craving for sweets. It was Valentine's Day, and him being Tamaki Suoh, he had received a token from almost every girl on Ouran Academy. He had accepted them all courteously, not wishing to break any hearts from the lovely ladies. And he did love chocolate anyways.

But still, he was mildly upset. As he unwrapped another piece of chocolate and tossed it inside his mouth, he realized he still hadn't received a single candy from a certain female club member he thought of everyday.

"Tamaki-sempai?" A quiet voice called behind him and he whirled his neck to see large brown eyes looking at him curiously.

"Haruhi!" He immediately stood up, hurling some of the candy to the floor in the process.

"That's a lot of chocolate, Tamaki-sempai," Haruhi remarked, pointing at the bag of sweets.

"Ah yes! Well, I couldn't possibly reject these nice gifts from the princesses, now could I? It makes them very happy to give me these." He explained, smiling his chivalrous grin.

"Yeah, I guess," Haruhi said, shrugging her shoulders. "But you might want to watch how many chocolate you have."

He grinned. "Do not worry, my darling. One can never have too much chocolate!"

He was taken by surprise when she giggled. It was a sound he didn't hear too often. "Keep telling yourself that,"

"Um, was there something you wanted to tell me, Haruhi?" He asked, scratching the back of his neck.

"Actually, I wanted to give you these," From the shoulder bag she carried, Haruhi took out a small white box with a red ribbon. Tamaki's eyes widened and he swore his heart stopped beating for a whole second. "But since you have so many sweets already, I think I should keep them for another time,"

"No!" Tamaki dashed towards the small box, jerking it away from Haruhi's hands. She was so surprised at his outburst she took a step back. A blush came forward to his cheekbones at his behavior.

"Are these for me?" He asked softly.

"Yeah, I'd thought you liked them…" Haruhi said with an edge of uncertain which he didn't notice.

He smiled. "My darling daughter is giving her father chocolates! Oh, you don't know how happy that makes me, Haruhi! It was so nice of you! Valentine's Day is a such a wonderful day, don't you think?"

"Um, sure. Just don't eat them all, okay? You might get sick," She warned.

He laughed merrily and in a spur of the moment, he laid a hand on Haruhi's head and brushed her short hair into a mess. "I won't get sick, not with Haruhi's lovely chocolates!"

Tamaki was so busy inspecting the small white box that he didn't notice Haruhi's growing blush at his casual gesture.

Leaving him in his own world, Haruhi walked away from him, feeling a bit guilty for making him believe she had made him those chocolates. In truth they were a gift from Kurakano, one of her regulars, who wasn't aware Haruhi didn't like sweets. Haruhi didn't feel like hurting the girl's feelings so she accepted the box, even though she didn't plan to eat them. Tamaki was just there when it occurred to her to give them away to a host club member.

She didn't expect for the blonde King to react all excitedly. And she didn't expect for her heart to quicken so elatedly at his careless touch.

He looked so happy while he ate the sweets, she didn't have the heart to correct his assumptions. So what if she had given Tamaki a box of chocolates for Valentine's Day? It didn't mean anything, right?


Happy Valentine's Day everyone!
