Disclaimer: I do not own OHSHC. No matter how many times I dress up as the pizza delivery guy, knock politely, or use my own head as a battering ram, Bisco Hatori refuses to let me in to discuss the buying of her Ouran. And that is that.
Curtains
Sometimes I feel as if my master is hiding from the world.
Hiding from the chairman, Shima, me, everyone.
He is hiding in his little house, covering up the windows with satin and silk curtains.
But the strange thing is, he places his curtains outside the windows.
So that no-one can look inside his hiding house.
He peers out often, spying on the outside world.
But only short glimpses for he is afraid of what he will see.
For Master is afraid that he will fall to temptation.
One day, I hope that he can draw away his curtains, drag them apart, until he can finally see the outside world.
And when he looks, perhaps he can see what I can.
The snow will be falling, vanishing as soon as they touch the frozen ground, and the stars will glint from the heavens above.
And everyone will be waiting for him.
Waiting for master to step out of his lonely house and join us.
And there will be that one person, who would have waited for him the longest, and who would have prayed for his coming the most.
She is his temptation.
Because once he comes out of his house to greet us, he can never come back, for it will crumble to dust.
And what he is fearful of is what will happen without his little house, what will happen to us in this bitter cold.
Will we all simply melt away?
Vanish, slip through his fingers?
I don't think that is so.
But master does, and as long as he keeps his curtains closed, we will continue to wait for him, outside in the snow.

NB: This is not like the host club pumpkin carriage metaphor. Although its not very hard, if anyone can guess who the 'temptation' is, I'd be very happy!
