Ok so hopefully this chapter will be longer... Last chapter was my shortest chapter ever and I personally think it sucked... I just wanted Avril to be yelling in french hahaha!

As always I don't own Ouran or any songs that I might mention in here!

Chapter 12

It was finally Friday and surprisingly this week was very jam packed! Tamaki and Tomi ended up hitting it off and now talk to each other pretty much 24/7. It has even gotten to the point where Tamaki is even distracted from his guests which is saying something. Hikaru has been sneaking over to Avril's house every night for the past 4 days. Avril usually lets him in through her window. They don't do anything but just cuddle eachother. It's actually very sweet! Avril was terrified about it at first but eventually got over it. Mori-Sempai and Haruhi were really hitting it off and all the girls in the club were practically haveing fan-gasms everytime Haruhi and Mori-Sempai were together. Who knew yaoi would be so popular with them? Even though it isn't actually yaoi since Haruhi is a girl.

Avril of course was singing but Hikaru was helping her out by playing the drums. She felt a little guilty since he was supossed to be doing his "brotherly love" act for his guests. She also felt like she was taking too much of his time. Of course she knows that he really cares about her but she doesn't want to drive Hikaru away from Kaoru. As she was thinking this she started the next song. Tamaki requested this song since it was his "theme song."

'What a crime, such a beautiful crime
That God would make a star as bright as I
And I know it's a disgrace to admire this perfect face
Reflected in your eyes
So it's right, that I suffer tonight
All the pain of all the passion inside
What my heart can not deny what I'm feeling inside
That makes me long for you
Guilty, Beauty, Love'

Everyone seemed to know right away what the song was. Now that Avril thought about it, it really did fit Tamaki. He does think he is all that and at the same time he really cares about Tomi. Eventually the song was over and Avril decided to sing a much slower song while she played on the piano. That was she could still sing and Hikaru could go back to his guests.

'Come near and stand by me, baby.
Close enough to reach out and pull you still closer,
All that is swelling within me,
Must be a language I've never spoken Till there was you,
I fumbled try but I stumbled,
Over all my heart wants to say now'

Right as Avril started singing the song the girls practically fainted. Not because she was singing it but because it reminded them of their favorite hosts.

'Je n'ai pas de mots,
Nothing seems to say the way you move me,
Rushing through me,
Je n'ai pas de mots,
But a promise has been made you can believe this,
From the first kiss,
It's good that I dont have to speak to know that it's real,
Je n'ai pas de mots.'

Soon she was done with the song and the girls were leaving. Haruhi was cleaning up. Kyoya was going over todays profits. Tamaki was annoying Haruhi and Mori-Sempai of course rescued Haruhi from Tamaki. Honey-Sempai was smiling at the whole scene. He was just happy that his Takashi found someone as awesome as Haruhi.

While all of this was going on Avril noticed that storm clouds were rolling in. She was on the inside worring but didn't show it on the outside. She just took out her Ipod and put on her favorite play list. Apparently the other hosts noticed the storm clouds and when they noticed they were staring at Haruhi. Haruhi had no idea that a storm was coming untill thunder struck. The loud boom had her jump out of her skin and sent her under the nearest table.

Avril was extremly confused. "Hey Hikaru. What's wrong with Haruhi?"

"She is terrified of thunderstorms," Hikaru replied, "She gets so terrifed that she can hardly move." When Avril heard this she understood completly. Avril wasn't scared of storms but she was scared of loud noises. Thunder and fireworks are the worst.

Avril walked over to Haruhi who was in Mori-Sempai's arms. She then reached into her pocket and pulled out some ear plugs.

"Here," said Avril holding out the ear plugs toward Haruhi, "They will help with the noise. If you close your eyes you can't see the lightening."

"T-Thanks Avril..." Avril has never seen Haruhi so helpless. Haruhi was usually so strong but now Avril has seen her be completly weak. Avril didn't know how to react at this and she didn't know how Haruhi felt about this. How did Haruhi feel about all of the hosts seeing her in such a weak place?

All of the hosts including Avril(apparently to the ther hosts Avril was a host now) stayed with Haruhi untill the storm was over. When it was finally over it was 6:03PM. Avril was quite proud of herself that she was able to stay calm. No one found it weird that she was basically glued to her Ipod since she is such a music freak as it is.

A few hours have past since the storm was over. Avril was in her room waiting for Hikaru. It was 8:54 now and he should be coming in six minutes. Somehow Avril was more nervous than usually. She wasn't worried about getting caught but something else was bothering her.

Before she knew it Hikaru was at her window. Avril helped him in and they were finally alone together without the worry that the hosts would barge right in.

Hikaru then put his hands on Avril's face too look into her eyes. Even though Avril was never good at looking people in the eyes she didn't have that problem with Hikaru. Then they ended up kissing ever so gently. Even though that there was a bed right there neither of them tried to go any further than kissing.

Out of no where the couple heard a loud boom with some soft crakles after it. This totally caught Avril off gaurd and she flinched ever so slightly but it was enough for Hikaru to pick up.

"Hey Avril, you ok?"

"Y-Yeah... What was that noise?"

"Must be fireworks," replied Hikaru, "If you asked me it's perfect timing."

Avril couldn't help but smile but more fireworks went off and she then crouched onto the floor with her hands covering her head.

"Avril, come on what's wrong?"

"It's nothing..."

"You can tell me. You don't have to be strong for me."

"I-I'm fine... The fireworks just startled me..."

"It's more than that... Please tell me.."

"Ok... I'm terrifed of loud noises... Mainly thunder and fireworks..."

"But you were fine during the storm earlier today."

"Only because I had my music."

"That explains why you knew how to help Haruhi earlier."

"Yeah... I always have my ear plugs with me incase if my Ipod dies on me..." explained Avril, "It's my back-up plan."

Hikaru didn't say anything else. He picked up Avril and placed her on her bed. Hikaru was right next to her, holding her and being there for her whenever the loud bang of the fireworks came. Everytime Avril heard the noises she flinched and held on to hikaru tighter and tighter.

Eventually the fireworks stopped. Hikaru was about to leave because of the time but Avril stopped him.

"You ok?" asked Hikaru, "The firworks stopped."

Avril then walked over to Hikaru. "I just wanted to thank you." She then kissed him. It wasn't gentle like there other kisses. It was more deep, more passion was behind it. Hikaru couldn't take it anymore. She was beautiful and he couldn't control himself. He lifted her up so she could wrap her legs around his waist. The next thing they knew they were on the bed. Hikaru was on top of Avril. Avril felt something very hard. She just figured it was his hip but then she realized it wasn't. She let out a slight groan at the thought. Hikaru must of heard her because she felt his smile agaisnt her teeth. Avril then lead her hands down his stomach which trembled at the touch of her soft hands. Her hands then found their way to his zipper on his jeans.

Hikaru then pulled away. He didn't want to lose it like this. She was probly still shook up from all the loud fireworks. He didn't want to take advange of her.

Avril must of saw the concern in his face because then she said, "It's ok I understand." She left it at that and both of them knew what eachother ment.

Hikaru kissed her gently on her cheek and climbed out the window. Leaving Avril happier than she has been in a while.
