"I am sorry, Hunny-senpai, I don't feel well." Haruhi glanced at the senior, and he could see the tears in her eyes. "I don't believe I can stay any longer at this party. I did not get a chance to say congratulations to you or Mori-senpai."
Hunny and Satoshi exchanged looks at her use of an honorific for Mori, but neither commented.
Haruhi shifted, and her hand traveled to the necklace that Satoshi and Chika had given her, the proof of Mori's desire to protect her.
"He lied to me, Hunny-senpai." Haruhi's voice was soft. "He said that it would be all right to let him in. He wouldn't disappoint me, he would protect me." Haruhi sighed. "I knew better, but I trusted him." Her smile wavered as she looked at Hunny and Satoshi. "I can't watch him leave, I can't watch someone else abandon me." Haruhi's hand tightened around the necklace, and she ripped the chain from her neck. Several chain links fell to the ground, scattering on the wooden floor, and Hunny and Satoshi watched Haruhi in horror.
Her hands shook as she opened the card, placing the necklace inside.
"Hunny-senapi, do you have a pen?" Her voice was choked, and Hunny merely nodded, pulling a pen from his pocket.
Pulling the card from the envelope Haruhi wrote a short note on the card, and then slipped the card back into the envelope.
"Would you please give this to him, when everyone has left?" Haruhi handed the note to Hunny, who nodded.
"Thank you both for everything." Haruhi smiled weakly. "Mitskuni…" Her voice shook, she had called Hunny by his full name on few occasions, even though the young man had insisted that since she was dating Takashi she could call him Mitskuni. "I know that you will have a wonderful time in France. Don't give up your dreams for anything." Haruhi looked back at Satoshi. "Will you please show me out?"
Hunny watched Satoshi lead Haruhi from the house, his face serious. His cousin was an idiot. He would have thought that Mori would have at least mentioned to Haruhi the possibly of leaving for France, but obviously that thought had slipped Mori's mind.
Haruhi was deeply hurt, and he could see the sense of betrayal in her eyes.
She had let Mori into her life, she had cared for him. He had become a large part of her life. From her words, Hunny gathered that she had not done this since her mother had died, for fear of being left alone again. And from the way that things were looking, she had been correct in her fears.
Morinozuka Takashi was an idiot, and Haninozuka Mitskuni would help him come to his senses, one way or another.
