Hikaru POV

What a night. I couldn't say whether it was a good or bad night, but it definitely sparked something off. It had just felt so right though. Like we were meant for each other or some romantic drivel like that. But I knew what Haruhi was thinking about: Tamaki Suoh. Why did he have to get in the way of everything I did? If I did anything well, he overtook it by doing something more amazing. It just frustrated me.

KNOCK- KNOCK- KNOCK

"Hikaru? Are you in there? We need to talk. Now."

It seemed someone else is frustrated too. She always thought about things too much and took a rational position. It's good one of us does I suppose. Otherwise this might have happened without us even noticing it. A blind stumble into a whirlwind of a summer romance, and not even a thought about people we might hurt. I'm so glad she's here.

"Come in Haruhi…" I stayed lying on my bed. She walked in and she was in a state. Hair all over the place as if she had a sleepless night. I slept like a log. Was that bad?

"You can't just lie there Hikaru, we have something big to sort out."

"What? We kissed. I like you a lot Haruhi, can't we just stay like this and be a couple? Come here." I reached my hand out to her, and for a moment, she took it. Then she dropped it like a hot coal.

"it's not that simple. You know I'm with Tamaki. I'm in a relationship! Maybe I like you as a friend, and the boat and everything was very romantic, but, but, but…"

"As a friend? I thought you…you…" My voice tailed off. What was I going to say?

"Well I don't! I just can't do this right now." She stormed out in a fluster. I've put her through hell this holiday, and it was meant to be a present for her. To get her away from Tamaki and things she doesn't really want. And now we were just in one big awkward mess. Great.

To take my mind off things I went down to the pool for a dip. Little did I know the horrors that were awaiting me there.
So I laid my towel down on a lounger right in the sun. Maybe I should have put it more in disguise behind a parasol or something though… Well whatever, I turned around only to see the stalker. That annoying idiot that I met yesterday in the town. She hadn't looked at me straight away, but I think she was just playing it out. Or she genuinely hadn't seen me. Unlikely. If that is the case, I have to do my best to avoid her. At first I put my towel over my face, but I didn't know if that was going to conceal me, or draw even more attention to me. Reading seemed the best option after half an hour of trying out the other ways, so I carried on with that.

"Hi."

"Ah!" I screamed stupidly. Guess who it is? Made her move at last.

"What babes?"

"Babes? What kind of a common word is that? And why have you come here anyway? You're not even staying at the hotel."

"Don't call me common. And actually, I checked in this morning."

"And what a coincidence! All you want to do is get me away from Haruhi! We are fine."

"I know I do, who wouldn't? Doesn't seem that she feels the same way about you." At my confused and slightly scared look she said. "Yes, yes that's right, I heard everything this morning."

"The world could really do without perverted stalkers like you. You don't really like me; I don't even know your name!"

She grabbed me and planted a kiss on my mouth. Just as she pulled away I spotted Haruhi running down the path towards us with red puffy eyes and she stares at us, and it was like we were stuck in slow motion and all I could do was stare at her as she turned on her heels and ran away.

Haruhi's POV

I went to my bedroom after mine and Hikaru's argument, I just couldn't cheat on Tamaki, I couldn't. Tamaki was secure, he was routine. Maybe he wasn't as exciting and daring as Hikaru but I couldn't just take him for granted… So why couldn't I get Hikaru out of my mind? After what seemed hours of lying there and turning thoughts over in my head, occasionally letting silent tears roll down my face, self-pity consuming me because I'd messed up so badly and it was all just so wrongwrongwrong.

I stood up. I couldn't just lie here, I needed to find Hikaru and we needed to talk. Properly.

The one thing I didn't expect to see when going to the pool was Hikaru being kissed by some random girl. Before I could stop myself I was running, I knew running away wouldn't solve my problems but for that moment I just couldn't face them, so I ran. I never thought of myself as one of those girls who loses control so easily, but then again I never thought I would kiss a guy whilst going out with a different one. It was this trip - it was scrambling with my head.

I didn't know where I was going. I actually didn't really care. I just wanted to get as far away from this mess as possible. Eventually I had to stop; I was running out of land and energy. I collapsed on the ground and curled into a ball breathing in and out, trying my best to clear my mind and regain control of my emotions. I winced as an image of Hikaru and that… girl flashed into my head, and a twinge of jealousy came with it. Had he been seeing her all this time? No it shouldn't matter, it doesn't matter, forget it Haruhi, forget it. Repeating those words over and over in my head until the words didn't even make sense anymore and I forgot what it had been about to start with. It was just me lying there, listening to the gentle waves and breathing in the scent of the grass. Feeling calmer I stood up and took in the view around me. It really was beautiful, and so I clambered over to the edge of the cliff to peer over at the sea.

"No Haruhi don't jump!"

I stood back from the edge, rolling my eyes, despite the situation.

"I wasn't going to commit suicide you moron!"

"Oh," He grinned sheepishly. I grinned back at him. For a moment it was like it usually was, everything was right with the world. It was just plain and Hikaru and Haruhi messing around. Then he frowned. I remembered.

"That, thing you just saw me with, we have nothing between us."

"Didn't look like that to me." There I was a bitterness to my tone, even though I'd convinced myself is didn't care. I wondered if this was how Hikaru had felt when he'd seen me and Tamaki at the host club, because it was the cruellest thing imaginable.

"She just thrust herself upon me it was practically assault, in fact it was I should sue!" His humourous tone, managed to pull a smile out of me.

"Well I'm glad to hear that."

I relised what I said just as it came out of my mouth. Damn it Haruhi, I was supposed to be indifferent.

"Really?" The hope in his eyes and in his voice, I couldn't tell him, no, it was impossible.

I averted my eyes to the ground "No. I don't… We can never be together Hikaru, I can't… for Tamaki."

Without warning he suddenly came right up close, grabbed my chin and spoke.

"Look at me when you say it. Do you mean it? Is he that special? Does he make the hairs stand up on the back of your neck? Does he hold you like I do? I feel so alive when I'm with you Haruhi, I need you." He stared me right in the eyes and I couldn't say it, I couldn't tell him no, if he stared at me like that I could do anything he wanted. He leaned forward and we kissed, I didn't pull away. I wasn't thinking, well maybe I was, and it was something along the lines of 'to hell with it!'

Kaoru's POV

Seriously what was wrong with this hospital? I asked for a sandwich about five minutes ago. And still no sandwich, I'm going to starve here all alone and die like a sad old commoner… Oh look my sandwich.

"Finally!" I complained to Ami, who was carrying the sandwich with an obviously fake smile.

"Oh stop complaining you're lucky you have food you know some people…"

Off she went about some boring lecture on how some people are starving in third world countries; I donate money to charity, wasn't that enough?

"I missed you whilst you were off yesterday," I said with a grin, slipping back into flirting which I found to be the easiest way to talk to people.

"Pity, I didn't miss you."

"Oh Ami I really thought we had something," I joked, taking a bite into the sandwich, which was slightly dry I noted.

She stuck her tongue out at me childishly and then started to check up on my progress. I wondered what she'd be like as a girlfriend, how did she look without the uniform…

Suddenly my thoughts were interrupted, by someone saying something that I didn't quite catch.

"Huh?"

Ami sighed, in that ever suffering way of hers. "Pay attention, what are you even thinking about, do I even really want to know?"

I blushed, embarrassed for myself. She was turning me into even more of a pervert than usual, as I'd noted before she was striking in model type way. Maybe I should ask her to be a model for mum's next collection… "Nothing much."

She raised an eyebrow. "Well that seems to be all your head is filled with." Her responses were getting less and less harsh and more and more joking.

"Don't you ever get worried you'll be fired for insulting all the patients?"

"Nah," She shrugged, "I'm only rude to those who are stuck up enough to deserve it."

I felt a bit offended, even though I knew I shouldn't really care.

There were a few moments of silence as she packed up a few things, and generally tidied up. Suddenly I remembered something from the day before.

"Hey Ami, why were you off yesterday?"

"Why should I tell you?" Good point.

"Because I want to know, I'm very concerned about your well-being."

"Wanting doesn't always mean getting." She said that a bit more bitterly than needed.

"Please." I said in as an annoying a voice as I could muster.

"Urrrh fine, just stop making that annoying sound, you're so childish" She paused, probably deciding how much to tell me or whether to all out lie. "I was looking after my sister, she was sick yesterday."

"Oh." I said, unsure what to say. "Is she alright?" I tried not to sound too interested. In a strange way it felt like I'd be letting her win.

"She's fine." She looked at me suspiciously, like she expected me to be making some sort of rude comment any second. "Bye Karou." She said civilly, in a voice that clearly said no more questions.

"Hey, wait!" And she was gone. That girl sure liked to be mysterious.
