"I think Kyouya-senpai is amazing..."Haruhi, This is Our Ouran Fair!
The patriarch of the Ootori family pulled his limosine to the Fujioko flat. He knew that Ranko Fujioko would be home. The man, after all, mostly worked nights. Ranko answered the knock on his door wearing full makeup although he was wearing men's clothing. This was not the ideal parent that Haruhi Fujioka could have, but it explained a few things to the elder Ootori.
"I have a proposal for you." Was Yoshio Ootori's greeting. "One that I believe will be for the benefit of us all."
"Explain this picture!" Meanwhile, at Music Room #3, an irritated Tamaki thrust a photo of a napping Haruhi directly in Kyouya's spectacled face.
Kyouya looked at the picture. Although he had not known that he was being photographed, he remembered the scene very clearly. His face was very difficult to read, although Tamaki certainly was trying. Kyouya dropped the arm that held his clipboard and took the photo from Tamaki. The other host club members, minus Haruhi, were anxiously awaiting the answer simply because Tamaki was riled up. It was always fun when Tamaki was going crazy, especially when it pertained to Haruhi.
"Well, it's an obvious one hour photo, thermal print, and it is overexposed." He pushed his glasses up his nose with the hand also holding the clipboard. He then handed the photo back to Tamaki.
"That's not what I meant and you know it!" Tamaki's face was red with anger and he looked possessed. The twins looked nervous, as did Honey. Mori simply watched with crossed arms.
Kyouya took the photo again and looked at it. In fact, the photo was quite good. If one looked, they may see a young couple, enjoying each other's company, lazily cuddling in a lounge chair. Kyouya smiled deviously. He knew what Tamaki was thinking and it was driving him insane. He couldn't help but irritate his best friend, just a little bit. It may even force Tamaki to come to a conclusion about his feelings for Haruhi, which everyone but Tamaki himself knew was certainly not fatherlike.
"I think I look great in this picture." Kyouya stated.
Tamaki looked like his head was going to explode. Since Kyouya was not giving Tamaki the answer he wanted, Tamaki pointedly demanded, "Kyouya! Are you trying to take perverse advantage of our daughter?"
Kyouya didn't immediately respond, mostly because it was amusing watching Tamaki react this way. Haruhi came in though, however, before Kouya could make matters worse.
"What's going on?" Haruhi asked as everyone looked in her direction. The twins blinked at her. Tamaki looked completely insane.
Honey was the one to answer. "Tamaki was just asking Kyouya about this picture I took of you two."
Haruhi was then presented with the picture. The sun shone brightly, illuminating their skin. A shadow was cast from the book. Haruhi was peacefully sleeping against Kyouya as he read. She remembered that. She remembered that when she'd awakened, neither of them said anything about it and the weekend went on normally. It had even stopped raining at night. She'd forgotten about it until just now.
"I was sleepy from the storm the night before. Kyouya-senpai shared his chair with me because I forgot a blanket." Haruhi then looked expectantly at everyone else, her gaze finally resting upon Tamaki and Kyouya. Both of them were looking at her.
"That's it?" Tamaki sighed with relief. "Well, why didn't you say that in the first place? Come on, everyone, there are guests awaiting!" Tamaki soon ran off, the others followed, but Kyouya stayed back for a moment. He lifted his clipboard, writing something upon the paper there.
Haruhi stepped before him. "Why didn't you tell him that was all that it was? He nearly had a heart attack. Why did you lead him to believe it was something else?" She narrowed her eyes, a bit annoyed at Kyouya-senpai. He could be a real jerk sometimes.
"I led him to believe nothing. He had drawn his own conclusions before he ever asked me." He stated simply, his attention focused upon his writing. "Now if you have finished wasting my time, I have a birthday party to plan." Kyouya then turned his back and walked away. Haruhi groaned. Once again, she had no idea what was going through Kyouya's mind. She was just sure that it was evil.
She stepped out into the room to instantly be surrounded by girls. To be honest, the attention and fawning wasn't half bad. Haruhi had stayed with the host club even though her debt had finally been paid. She really enjoyed being in the host club. She enjoyed being with the guys. They were the best friends she ever had.
"Haruhi, come sit with us." Tamaki patted a seat beside him. There were four other girls there who giggled and joined in the invitation.
"Whose birthday is Kyouya-senpai planning?" Haruhi asked Tamaki. She had a feeling that was part of the reason Kyouya was in a foul mood.
"Honey's birthday. He's going to be eighteen." Tamaki answered. Haruhi nodded then. Honey would want a lot of sweets, and she understood that could get expensive.
