It's been so long, I know. This chapter just didn't want to write itself, but I managed.
Warning: Het. But it's cute fluffy het so it's all good.
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Kawamura pondered on the recent changes in his life as he cleaned the sushi shop. He was very happy that they had been invited to join the host club.
He had been a little sad when the team had scattered at the end of last year because it meant that he had to spend less time with the friends that had become so close to him over the past few years. Now they were all together in one place again.
The host club was also fun and it's members, nice. Kawamura smiled thinking of the nice boy he had been spending the most time with recently, Fujioka. Then his smile melted a bit. Fujioka confused him. He was very nice, and possessed a dry sense of humor that Kawamura liked. Kawamura would be sure he liked Fujioka, except for one thing, he was almost positive he was straight.
He considered his friends. All of them were undeniably attractive, but he felt nothing for any of them. Except maybe Syuusuke, but everyone was attracted to him, so he didn't count.
Maybe it was a case special to Fujioka. And it wasn't like there was anything wrong with it. At least among those he cared about. They were all gay or bi themselves anyway.
Being a gentle and shy boy on his own, Kawamura decided to let his relationship with Fujioka progress as it would. Whatever happened, happened. Kawamura had always been content with that motto, at least off the tennis courts.
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
A few days later Kawamura stopped outside an unfamiliar market. His father had asked him to pick up a couple of things on his way home from school.
He got off his bike and entered the store quickly. He was a little late today because he had played a short tennis match with Syuusuke after host club. Although he didn't play very often anymore, Kawamura still enjoyed tennis and nothing was better than a match with his best friend.
He moved towards the vegetable section and saw a familiar hair cut.
"Fujioka," he called out. Surprised the boy turned, and Kawamura realized that he was wearing a dress. To his further shock, and slight embarrassment, Fujioka was not a boy, but very clearly a girl.
"Kawamura-sempai," she said, "What are you doing here?"
"You're a girl," Kawamura blurted out. Then clapped a hand over his mouth, embarrassed. Fujioka sighed.
"Yes I am. There's a reason for this, but I don't want to explain it here. Let me finish here and then I'll explain."
Kawamura nodded and then remembered the reason he was in the store.
"Excuse me," he said, "There are a few things I need. May I meet you outside?"
Fujioka nodded and he hurried off. As he gathered the things he needed, his thoughts darted in all directions.
Fujioka wasn't a boy. That would explain why he liked him, her. He wasn't gay after all. This explained a lot of things.
As he absently paid for his groceries, his thoughts took a completely different turn and he wondered if she liked sushi.
He exited the market to find her waiting for him.
"Would you like to come to my place?" he asked before she could speak, "We can talk there."
Fujioka nodded. They walked to his store in silence. When they got there, her eyes lit up slightly.
"You're a sushi chef?" she asked. Kawamura nodded. She smiled.
"You'll have to make some for me sometime. I love sushi."
Kawamura blushed and filed that comment away. He led her inside and offered her a cup of tea as he put away his shopping. He grabbed himself a cup of tea and joined her at a table.
They sat in more silence for a moment before she put her cup down.
"So," she said, "I guess I owe you an explanation."
Kawamura nodded and she told him everything from the beginning to the end.
"I don't really mind if you tell people," she said, "but it would be easier if you kept it secret."
"I will, I promise," Kawamura said quickly. Fujioka nodded.
"Thank you," she said.
Kawamura fiddled with his cup for a minute, trying to decide if now was the right moment. Finally he blurted out,
"I like you."
Fujioka gave him a slightly odd look. He blushed again.
"I mean, I think you're really nice and I like your company, no matter if you're a boy or a girl and I just, I like you," he finished lamely.
She smiled, it was a slightly enigmatic smile, but a sweet smile, Kawamura decided.
"I feel the same way," she said.
Kawamura smiled too.
"So, umm, may I, er, kiss you?" he asked.
Haruhi's smile deepened, Kawamura was too cute, she thought.
"Please," she replied.
Kawamura moved over to sit next to her. Gently he cupped her chin in one hand, and the back of her head in the other. Softly he pressed his lips to hers. It was a gentle kiss, full of hope and promise than anything. But it was the beginning.
The beginning of something wonderful, Kawamura decided.
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Fuji sat in the third music room watching everything with his usual half smile on his face.
Tamaki whirled around in his usual enthusiasm. Apparently he was attempting to show Echizen how to be a good host. Tezuka had folded earlier and was holded a slightly stilted conversation with a girl about some history or another.
The rest of his friends were entertaining in their various fashions. Syuusuke paused for a moment to smile at Eiji and Hunny-kun and their adorable antics. Eiji had gotten cream on his nose and looked rather like a cat as he attempted to wipe it off.
Then his eyes lit upon Kawamura and Fujioka. He studied them for a moment, trying to figure out what seemed different about them. His eyes picked out the new details and his sly mind put the pieces together. His smiled deepened at the conclusion.
"What are you smirking about now Aniki?" Yuuta asked. His voice no longer held the trepidation it once had. After spending more time with his brother Yuuta's Fuji genes had appeared, and like his brother and sister before him, he was now beginning to see the world as one giant game. Of course he still occasionally felt a strong urge to run in the opposite direction when Syuusuke began smirking for apparently no reason.
"Hmmm," Syuusuke replied, "Oh, nothing. It's just going to become very amusing in here soon."
"I'll take your word for it," Yuuta said.
"Good, now come here."
Yuuta obeyed. They never went to far when the club was open, but fan girls still fainted at the incest acts they had learned from the twins.
weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!
Hikaru and Kaoru saw their opening when Haruhi left Kawamura to put away their tea cups after the club was over. They sat down on either side of him. The poor innocent boy missed their matching smirks.
"Hello, Hikaru-kun, Kaoru-kun," he said politely.
"Hello Kawamura-kun," Kaoru said.
"We couldn't help but notice your new friendship with our dear Haruhi-chan," Hikaru said.
Unexpectedly, Kawamura blushed.
"Yes, she's very nice," he said. Both Hikaru and Kaoru froze.
"She!" they exclaimed in unison.
"Oh, um, yes I found out," Kawamura said.
"Dono!" Hikaru yelled. Tamaki came sweeping over.
"Really, must you be so loud?" he admonished, "It's bothersome."
Kaoru pulled him down close.
"He knows about Haruhi," he said. Tamaki's eyes widened.
"What?" he shrieked in a whisper. (A/N: Yes that is possible.)
Haruhi chose that moment to return.
"What are you doing to my boyfriend?" she asked crossly.
"Boyfriend?" Tamaki, Kaoru and Hikaru all exclaimed. This caught the attention of some of the other club members, namely Momo and Hunny, who bounced over.
"Ne, ne," Hunny said, "Haruhi has a boyfriend?"
"Yes I do," Haruhi said.
Momoshiro noticed the deeply blushing Kawamura and cheered.
"Alright, Taka-chan," he said. If the other club members hadn't noticed the commotion by then, they did now. They crowded around and congratulated the pair.
All that is except Syuusuke. He watched the group with a knowing smile. He also made a mental note when Tamaki moved away from the circle and joined Kyoya in the corner.
The president's face was a mixture of happiness, annoyance, and satisfaction. Syuusuke decided to keep a close eye on the blond.
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Whew, okay, that was a long one. I'm trying to refer to everyone by their first name or given nickname. The only problem is that there is a Takashi Morinozuka, Momoshiro Takeshi, and Kawamura Takashi, kinda confusing, but I'll try to differentiate by using honifics and sticking to their nicknames, Momo-chan and Mori.
