"Haruhi, I was wondering..."
"Tamaki Senpai, what are you doing at my house?" Haruhi asked, quickly getting over her shock and glaring at the blonde man.
"I... I mean, Daddy just figure since you went out with Mommy yesterday that today you'd like to go shopping with me." He smiled at her, sure of her answer.
"No. Good night Senpai" Haruhi answered, quickly going into her apartment and shutting the door in his face, leaving Tamaki staring at the door, unsure what to do.
Finally he left for his car, taking his phone out on the way, "Kyoya, what did you do to turn our daughter against me?"
The following days, seemed to be the same as before the shopping trip. There were no outward signs that anything had changed. Haruhi still handled her clients, cleaned up after everyone and then went home to study.
Kyoya still typed on his laptop and made sure the club ran smoothly. Nothing unusual and yet, everything had changed.
Kyoya no longer ordered Haruhi to do anything, in fact he hardly talked to her at all.
Haruhi stopped speaking to Kyoya or about him. In fact, when he was mentioned she usually changed the subject.
Of course, most of the hosts didn't notice these changes. The two were never close so it wasn't that big of a difference.
However, Haruhi never stopped thinking about the shadow king and it was driving her crazy. Ever since the shopping trip, she'd been playing with the charm bracelet, trying to figure out what charms she would get for the other three. That was the only reason he was in her thoughts. At least that's what she told herself.
Kyoya hardly ever stopped thinking of Haruhi. Of course, he was only trying to figure out what everyone saw in her and why Honey-senpai thought he liked her. That was it, really. As if he could actually like a commoner. What merit would that gain him?
So days went smoothly, running like clock work, just like any other day. They both did their duties perfectly, never letting on that they were slowly going crazy.
One afternoon as they were closing for the day, Haruhi walked up to Kyoya, "Kyoya senpai" she asked.
Kyoya turned to her, trying not to show his surprise. She hadn't tried to talk to him in days, "Yes, Haruhi?"
"Where was that mall that we went too?" she asked, looking down.
Kyoya raised an eyebrow at that, "Why would you need to know that?" he asked, curiously.
"I want to get a charm for the rest of the hosts but I need to figure out what charms and I need to see how much money I need to save" she replied, looking down because she was blushing and Haruhi doesn't blush.
"I see. I can take you tomorrow, if you like" He offered.
This offer caused Haruhi's head to snap up, the shadow king never offered anything for free, "Um…That's alright. I can go on my own"
Kyoya chuckled, "Don't worry Haruhi. I'm not going to add anything to your debt for taking you, I just need to go myself and see no reason why you can't come as well"
"Oh…well, I guess that would be alright" Haruhi said, slowly.
"I promise, there's no strings attached to this offer" Kyoya told her, with a smirk as he watched her trying to figure out the catch.
Haruhi smiled at him then, "Alright, Kyoya-senpai. Thank you!"
"Why did I offer to take her? How will this help me?" Kyoya thought to himself that night. He was not one for impulses. He always thought things through except, it seems, when it came to this girl. That was twice in as many weeks that he had impulsively asked Haruhi to do something. Kyoya shook his head, "It's to late now, might as well make the best of it" and with that he closed his laptop and went to sleep.
After school the next day, Haruhi started to walk home when a limo pulled up beside her, "Haru-chan! Do you want a ride home?"
Haruhi looked up at Honey, who was hanging out the window, smiling at her. "That would be nice. Thank you, Honey senpai!"
Honey opened the door and Haruhi got in beside him. "Hi, Mori senpai" she greeted the senior, who sat across from her.
Mori nodded at her, then Honey said "Haru! Guess what? We're having a big dinner at our house next week and my parents told me to invite the entire host club! You'll come right?"
Haruhi was surprised at the sudden invitation. She didn't usually go to the hosts houses, well besides the twins but that wasn't usually by choice. "um…" she started.
"Please! It won't be any fun with out you, Haru chan" Honey begged, using his famous big Honey eyes at her.
Haruhi sighed, as much as she tried, she usually couldn't fight those eyes, "Of course, Honey senpai. That'd be fun"
"YAY! Haru's coming! Did you hear that Takashi?"
"Ah" Mori replied, giving Haruhi a small smile.
Honey chattered about the party the rest of the way home while both Mori and Haruhi listened. When they got to Haruhi's house, Honey and Mori walked her to her door."Bye! Thank you for bringing me home!" Haruhi said, smiling at them.
"Anytime, Haru chan! Have a good day! See you tomorrow!" Honey called with a smile.
Mori simply ruffled her hair and waved as he turned to walk back to the car. Back in the limo,
"Do you think Kyo-san will ask her, Takashi?"
Mori just shrugged as he looked out the window to where Haruhi had disappeared inside.
In Haruhi's room
Once again there was a box on her bed and a note.
"Please wear this, today." was all it said and inside was a light green dress, square necked and short sleeves. If it weren't for the expensive fabric, it would have been almost common.
Once again, Haruhi had to silently thank Kyoya for not going overboard.
She got dressed quickly and then walked to the living room, writing a note for her dad to tell him where she was going. She was sure he already knew, since the dress was in her room and everything but just in case.
She went to walk outside to wait for Kyoya but apparently he was just walking to her door as she opened it. When she walked out she walked right into him, causing her to stumble back and she started to fall. Out of instinct, Kyoya went to grab for her and caught her just before she fell, pulling her up against him to help her catch her balance.
Once Haruhi realized what had happened and realized she was in Kyoya-senpai's arms, she immediately pulled away. She was blushing as she said "I'm sorry, Kyoya senpai! I didn't realize you were here already"
Kyoya then did something very un-Kyoya-like. He started to laugh. Not loudly or anything, really nothing more than a chuckle but it was enough to cause Haruhi to look up at him in surprise.
"Kyoya-senpai?" Haruhi called, curiously.
Kyoya quickly quit chuckling and got composed. Then acting as if nothing had happened, "Are you ready, Haruhi?"
Haruhi's head was spinning at the mood changes but she quickly answered "Yes" and followed him to the car.
As she got into the car, Kyoya said, "And like I told you before, when we're out it's just Kyoya"
"Right, Kyoya-sen…Kyoya" Haruhi said, still blushing as she looked out the window and away from him.
Kyoya was trying to forget what had just happened as well. It shouldn't be anything new, being a host and having a girl in his arms but it was, for him. He was the cool type, so it wasn't expected for him to be touchy-feely.
Kyoya sighed at the thoughts passing through his head, they were unlike him.
"Are you alright, Kyoya?" Haruhi asked, looking a little concerned.
"Fine, Haruhi-san" Kyoya replied, not looking at her.
"Haruhi," She replied softly, then added "Can I ask you a question?"Kyoya waved a hand to tell her to go on.
"Why did you ask me to help you shop for your sister?"
"I told you, I needed a female point of view" Kyoya reminded her, sounding bored.
"But why me? You're an Ootori, you're a host, you know tons of girls. Why me?" Haruhi persisted.
"I don't know" Kyoya said quietly.
"What?" Haruhi asked, thinking she misheard.
"I don't know why I asked you! I just did, alright!" Kyoya said louder, still not looking at her.
Haruhi was taken back by the break in his manner. He never got emotional like that about anything. And the Kyoya she knew, always did something for a reason, how could he not know why he asked her?
"I'm sorry" Haruhi said quietly as the pulled into the mall.
"Huh?" Kyoya asked, looking at her for the first time, surprise evident in his eyes.
"I'm sorry for upsetting you, Kyoya-senpai." She clarified, adding the honorific back to his name.
Kyoya shrugged and then seeming to snap back into himself said "Don't call me senpai on this trip, Haruhi"
Haruhi sighed, "Just when I thought I might get to see a bit of the real Kyoya, he reverts back to his cold, uncaring self. Why do I care?"
Kyoya inwardly sighed "Why do I get so upset when it comes to her? Why did I admit that I didn't know why I asked her? What the hell am I doing with her and why am I so…happy she agreed to come with me?"
Both of them were so lost in the thoughts of the recent episode that they completely forgot the incident at Haruhi's house, for now anyway.
They walked into the mall and Haruhi went straight to the jewelry store, Kyoya followed behind, still lost in thoughts and trying not to show it.
"OOO, that's the one for Honey senpai!" Haruhi announced, right away pointing a cute little charm of a puppy with big eyes! Kyoya looked and nodded, that did seem to fit Honey.
She asked the lady how much it was and her eyes widened when she heard the price. This was definitely not a store she should be shopping in.
She wrote it down in the notebook she was carrying, anyway and kept looking. She soon pointed to another charm of a peace sign, "Mori senpai" She said as she wrote it down in her book.
"Peace?" Kyoya asked
"Yes, he's the only one of the host club that ever lets me get any" Haruhi said without thinking then quickly threw her hand over her mouth, worried she may have offended Kyoya.
To the contrary, Kyoya chuckled a little, "I suppose that's true"
That left her with only one charm left to find. As hard as she searched though, she couldn't seem to find one that fit him. "Why am I thinking so hard about this? There's a charm of a laptop there and one of glasses there, why not those?" "Because they don't really fit him" said a quiet voice in her head.
After some more searching, she found exactly what she was looking for and pointed to it. Then wrote it in her notebook.
"A sea shell?" Kyoya asked, most of her choices were pretty standard but the peace sign and the sea shell were a little out there.
"It represents the ocean" She replied as if that explained everything.
Of course, it didn't but Kyoya couldn't let her know he didn't understand so he just nodded. Once she finished writing they left the shop and the next store they entered was a bookstore.
After about five minutes in there, Kyoya said, "Haruhi, I need to go do something really fast. Wait here for me, alright?"
"Sure, Kyoya." Haruhi replied, "Hurry back" and with that she lost herself in the book she was reading again, not giving it another thought.
Kyoya left the store and hurried to his destination, still not sure why he was doing this but his mind wouldn't shut up so he went. "One of these days, I will regain control of my thoughts and actions when it comes to her" He thought to himself before entering the shop.
About fifteen minutes after he left Haruhi at the bookstore, Kyoya re-entered the bookstore. He wasn't surprised to see Haruhi in the exact same place he left here still reading the same book. He chuckled quietly to himself as he walked over to her and sat down beside her.
"Good book?" He asked, quietly causing her to look up startled.
"Kyoya, I didn't notice you there. Where you waiting long?" She asked, frowning a little, concerned.
"I just got here, don't worry. Is the book good?" He repeated. Normally repeating himself caused him to get annoyed but with Haruhi he found it hard to get annoyed, especially since her only concern was that she may have made him wait.
"Yes, very but I shouldn't have started it because I won't be able to finish it and I doubt the library has a copy." She said, getting up to put the book back where she got it.
"I'll get it, if you like it then it might be interesting to read for myself" He said, impulsivly reaching for the book.
She placed it in his hands "I hope you enjoy it,"
"I'm sure I will" He replied with a smirk, "After you finish it"
Before she could respond he went to the counter and bought the book, leaving a stunned Haruhi to follow after him.
Did Kyoya just do something nice for her...again? First the bracelet and now the book. What was going on? What could her sempai want that was causing him to be so nice to her lately?
Haruhi took the book that Kyouya was handing her and said "Thank you" quietly, to lost in her thoughts of what he was up to to realize where he was leading her.
"Haruhi" Kyoya said, for the second time.
Haruhi looked up at him, snapping out of her thoughts, "Hmm?"
"Are you hungry?"
She was and knew he would know she was lying if she said otherwise, "A little" she answered
"We'll eat here then," He said, nodding towards a restraunt in the mall.
Haruhi looked where he was pointing. It looked fancy.
"What is it?" She asked.
"A sushi place" He replied steering her in and nodding at the host "Table for two, Ootori party"
The host snapped to attention and quickly lead Kyoya to the best available table. "Enjoy your meal, Ootori Sama"
Kyoya nodded and set out to allow Haruhi to try all the different kinds of sushi, without, of course, letting her know what he was up to. He couldn't explain it, but he enjoyed her company and wanted to make sure she enjoyed her time with him as well. These feelings were very much unlike him and he didn't like them but since he couldn't get rid of them, he figured he might as well indulge them a little in hopes they might go away faster.
After dinner, Haruhi was smiling the whole walk to the car. She thanked Kyoya for the delicious lunch at least four times before he said, "Haruhi, I'm glad you enjoyed it but please, stop thanking me. It was nothing"
He hadn't meant it to sound as sharp as it came out and hated to see her smile falter before she snapped it back in place but stared off into space instead of rambling.
Haruhi's POV
"I knew he was being too nice, he had to say something to mess it up" I thought to herself "But the lunch was so nice and he promised not to add it to my debt, I can't help but be happy about today. Even with how expensive the charms are going to be, it was still nice."
When we got in the limo, I remembered that Kyoya had left me in the bookstore for a little while.
"Kyoya?" I asked, breaking the silence for the first time since he had snapped at me.
"Hmm?" He murmered still looking out his window.
"Where did you go earlier when I was at the bookstore?"
"I had to go pick something up for Honey's party" Kyoya replied.
"Oh, that's right that's tomorrow. Honey said everyone was going." I said, accepting his answer without another thought.
"Yes, the entire host club will be there along with some family friends." Kyoya agreed.
Third POV
Haruhi then looked back out her window missing the smirk that passed Kyoya's lips.
When they got back to Haruhi's house, Kyoya walked her to her door.
"Thank you, Kyoya, for another wonderful day." Haruhi said, blushing a little, suddenly remembering what had happened the last time they stood on her doorstep.
Kyoya seemed cool as ever, though on the inside, he was reliving the very same incident.
"You're welcome. If you want, I'll pick you up for Honey's party tomorrow" He said, before his brain had caught up with his mouth.
Haruhi's eyes widened a little, shocked at the offer. She just assumed Honey or the twins would pick her up.
"That would be nice, Kyouya Senpai" She replied, her voice and face giving away her surprise.
Kyoya's face told her nothing as he just nodded, "I'll be here at 5:30 then, the party starts at 6." and with that he turned around and went back to the limo, leaving Haruhi to stare after him before turning to go into the house.
Kyoya's POV
"I just did again" Kyoya thought furiously at himself. All of these impulsive offers when it came to Haruhi were really starting to get to him. He didn't do this. He was an Ootori. They didn't do anything without getting something in return. What did he get out of helping Haruhi by taking her to the mall or by picking her up for Honey's party. It wasn't even as if she needed a ride. Honey or the twins would have taken her. Tamaki would have offered but he doubted she would have accepted.
Especially after the other night. Kyoya couldn't help but smile remembering that call.
"Kyoya, what did you do to turn our daughter against me?"
Sighing a little before answering, "What do you mean?"
"Haruhi... I asked her to go shopping with me, just like she did with you. Saying it was only fair that Daddy gets time with his precious daughter too. All she did was say no and slam the door in my face. I know you had to do something to get her to do such horrible things. No daughter of mine would normally treat her Daddy this way!"
Kyoya fought the chuckle that threatened to escape, took a second to compose himself before stating coolly through the phone, "Haruhi helped me with my shopping as a favor. I assume if she doesn't want to go shopping with you, she has her reasons. None of which concern or have to do with me. Keep you're crazy delusions to yourself and leave the rest of us out of it." with that he hung up the phone and started laughing, imagining Haruhi slamming the door in Tamaki's face.
The smile left his face as he started thinking again about tomorrow. He was mad because of how happy he was that she accepted his offer instantly, when he was sure she would declined or at least not been so quick to accept any of the other offers.
"I will get control of myself again, starting now" Kyoya vowed. "No more impulsive offers and no more impulsive purchases" With that final vow he got out of his limo and went inside to type on his laptop. Afterall, he had a club to run and work to do.
Haruhi's POV
"Honey, How was your date?" Dad called, as soon as I walked in.
"For the final time, these aren't dates dad" I replied dropping the book off in my room before dad saw it.
"Whatever you say, Haruhi. I'm just so glad you're going out with Kyoya-san and not that dumb blond fool that's always hanging around you." Dad said happily.
I rolled my eyes but just said "I'm going to a party tomorrow at Honey's house so I won't be able to make your dinner. I'm sorry"
"Ooo, is Kyoya picking you up?" He asked.
I rolled my eyes again, I should have known that was all he'd be concerned about. "Yes, now I'm going to bed. Goodnight"
I turned and left the room, ignoring the questions he was throwing at me as I went. When I got to my room, I curled up on my bed and picked up where I left off on the book. Reading until I could no longer keep my eyes open.
Third POV
The sunlight streamed into Haruhi's room, causing her to slowly open her eyes and look at the clock. 6:15. She yawned, streaching as she rolled over to get out of bed. She threw on her clothes after taking a shower and then went into the kitchen, she was in the middle of making breakfast, when she noticed a box on the kitchen table and a note.
She rolled her eyes, and opened the note
Haruhi,
We knew you wouldn't have anything for the party so we picked out a couple of dresses from our mom's collection for you to try on. Hope you like them, sorry we can't be there to see you try them on but we'll see you at school.
Hikaru Kaoru
Haruhi was actually surprised it was from them and not Kyouya but started looking through the dresses anyways, All of them were frilly and pink or lacy and the shoes were heels that she couldn't imagine standing in let alone walking. Sighing she knew she's have to pick one out but she's worry about that after school. as it is, she was going to be late if she didn't leave now.
At school, she went through the day lost in thoughts about yesterday. She couldn't help thinking about Kyoya and how strange his behaviour was. It was like he was a different person when they were alone. Sometimes anyways. Then others, like the end after he offered to pick her up, he would go right back to the cool, introverted guy she knew and she would think she imagined the other part of him that was just there.
She decided she wasn't going to be able to figure it out so she tried pushing it out of her mind. It was harder than it seemed but with the twins in her classes, she was able to do it until after school when Honey offered to take her home.
"Haru chan, Takashi and I can take you home and wait for you to get ready. We'll drive you to the party." Honey called out with Mori nodding at her in agreement.
"Um..that's ok Honey senpai. I have a ride to the party already." Haruhi responded, fidgeting as she said it.
Honey cocked his head at her, curious, "The twins?" he asked.
Haruhi shook her head.
His eyebrows furrowed then, "Tamaki?"
again Haruhi shook her head.
Suddenly, Honey grinned, "Ah...Kyoya san"
It was Haruhi's turn to look surprised, "Hai," was all she said.
Honey nodded before saying "Well then, how about Takashi and I just take you to your house then."
Haruhi nodded, "Thank you, Honey senpai, Mori senpai"
They walked out to their limo, getting in before Honey said seriously "Haruhi, what do you think of Kyoya?"
Mori was looking out the window, pretending not to listen while Haruhi was taken aback by the question.
"What do you mean?" Haruhi asked.
"I mean, you've been hanging out with him after school more lately but at school, you guys don't even acknowledge each other hardly. What's going on?"'
"I helped him pick out some presents for his sister and he's been helping me find charms for all of the host club for my bracelet. That's all" Haruhi replied, turning a little red at the topic of Kyoya and not knowing why.
Honey nodded, but not as if he beleved her but more as if he figured that would be her answer. The rest of the ride was Honey talking excitedly about the party and repeatedly asking Mori if there was going to be enough cake.
When they got to Haruhi's, Honey got out with her and walked with her to the door. He gave her a hug at the door and said "Takashi and I are here to listen if you ever need to talk, Haru-chan."
Haruhi again was taken aback by this serious statement and smiled at Honey, hugging back. "Thank you, Honey senpai, I better go get ready. Kyoya will be here at 5:30"
"Kyoya, huh?" Honey remarked, grinning at her slip of no honorific before turning towards the limo. "See you soon, Haru chan"
"Bye," Haruhi called back going in, shaking her head.
"What am I getting myself into?" Haruhi asked herself as she walked into her bedroom to get dressed. On her bed she noticed another box and another note. She did smile then
Haruhi,
This is in case you don't want to wear any of the frilly dresses the twins sent over and so you don't break your neck in the heels.
Kyoya
Inside the box was a deep red dress with a ribbon tied around the middle and a rounded neck. Also inside was a simple silver necklace that hung down into the rounded neck with a small star on the chain.
Haruhi quickly changed into the dress and the flats but continued to stare at the necklace. It was simple but still expensive, she was sure. She remembered seeing it in the jewlery store right next to the charm case.
She shook her head but slipped it on, still smiling at the simple elegant taste Kyoya had, and his thoughtfullness. It was strange. The first two dresses, she wrote off as him just wanting her to look presentable since she was going out with him but this time, he knew she had other dresses from the twins and still sent something more her. She shook her head again this time to get rid of the questions that were forming in her mind.
"I'll give the necklace back when the party's over," She decided as she walked to the door, looking out the window first to make sure he wasn't walking up to her door again before walking outside and waiting for him.
A limo pulled up to her house and she started walking towards it, but then stopped realizing it wasn't Kyoya's.
"Haruhi? What dress is that?" Kaoru asked while at the same time
"Who gave you that, That's not one of ours" Hikaru asked.
"Um.." Haruhi started before a second limo pulled up and Kyoya got out.
"I sent it for her to make sure she had something presentable to wear" Kyoya said smoothly as he kept the door open waving Haruhi over.
"What? But you knew we always send dresses for Haruhi" Kaoru started
"And what do you think your doing here?" Hikaru asked
"I offered Haruhi a ride so we could discuss her debt before the party instead of during it." Kyoya answered again, sounding perfectly official and buisness like causing Haruhi to rethink the last couple of times out. This was the Kyoya she knew. Buisness like, cool and never getting worked up or doing anything that was for anyone but herself.
"But if that was the case why would he care that you had something you were comfortable to wear?" a voice nagged at the back of her head as she sent an appologetic smile at the twins and got in Kyoya's limo, pushing the voice away.
Once Kyoya was in and the limo started, Haruhi said "I'm giving the necklace back so no need to add it to my debt"
Kyoya's eyes widened for a second before saying "I wasn't planning on adding it to your debt. I would have left that in the note if I was"
"But you said we were discusing the debt" Haruhi responded, confused.
"We are, we're discussing the fact that you're debt will be gone by the end of the year and I wanted to know if you were going to continue to stay with the hosts after Honey and Mori are gone"
"Oh... Well I'll have to think about it, Kyoya senpai. Thanks for letting me know."
Kyouya nodded, going back to his laptop. They didn't talk for the rest of the ride. But when the pulled up to Honey's mansion, Kyoya said "Wait a minute Haruhi"
"Yes, Kyoya?" Haruhi asked, quickly adding "Senpai"
Kyoya hid a smirk as he reached into his laptop bag. "Since your birthday is coming up I decided that the host club would gift you with these." He said, handing her a small bag.
Inside was the puppy, peace and seashell charm along with a key charm.
"Kyoya...you didn't have to. I mean.. um.. Thank you" She stammered and before she could think it through she reached up and kissed his cheek pulling back and turning away so he wouldn't notice how red she was. In turning away she missed the slight color that lit Kyoya's cheeks as well.
"Here, let me put them on your bracelet" He said, mentally willing the blush to go away.
She held out her wrist, still not looking at him, and he smiled at the knowledge that she had not taken the bracelet off since he bought it.
He quickly put the four charms on unconsiously putting the key and the seashell beside one another. With that out of the way, they got out of the limo and went to join the party.
Honey saw them enter and ran over to Haruhi "Haru Chan! You look very pretty! Everyone else is already here. Ooo, you got new charms. Let me see!" He said excited he scanned the bracelet. "Why these?" he asked
Haruhi told him that they represented the host club. He asked which ones meant what. Haruhi was a little embarassed to explain but did so anyway because he seemed so interested. "I get to be a puppy! It's so cute!" He exclaimed with a smile. He asked about the peace sign and even nodded with her explanation, seeming to take it the same as Kyoya, as simple truth. "What about the seashell?" He asked
"It represents the ocean" Haruhi replied.
"And the ocean means Kyoya san?" Honey asked, confused.
"Well, not exactly, it's just the ocean is calming and deep, just like being around Kyoya usually is"Haruhi replied lamely, leaving out that her favorite childhood memory was going to the beach and playing in the ocean, or the fact that she still had a sea shell from that trip that she listens to when she wanted to calm down and that the two trips to the mall with Kyoya had been the same sort of feeling she got when she went to the beach. Calming and fun without worrying about life. No cares.
Honey nodded even though he realized she was leaving something out. "What about the key?" He asked.
Haruhi frowned at that one, "I don't really know. Kyoya senpai gave me that one for my birthday and I don't know why he picked it."
Honey nodded again, suddenly grinning and saying "OOO Takashi is bringing out more cake, Come on Haru!" He dragged Haruhi to Mori, the charms forgotten.
"Calming and deep?" Hmm, Kyoya thought to himself. Having been listening in on the conversation from a short distance away. "There was something else she wasn't sharing. I'll have to get that out of her on the ride home" He thought again, not really sure why he cared but giving up on figuring it out.
The rest of the party was pretty much Haruhi getting passed between The twins, Honey and Tamaki for dances and food and everything else. Mori and Kyoya each got one dance in but the rest of Haruhi's time was spent being dragged here and there and everywhere by everyone else.
By the end of the night she was exhausted half asleep in the corner. That was where Kyoya found her.
"Haruhi, you ready to go home?"
"Mmhmm" was her sleepy reply.
He helped her up and started towards the door but before he got there the twins intercepted them saying "We'll take her home, Kyoya senpai. No worries"
And with that, she was spirited away by them before he could think of a good arguement. Sighing, Kyoya walked outside towards his limo, not realizing Honey and Mori were watching him.
"What do you think, Takashi?" Honey asked.
Mori shrugged, "He doesn't know what's going on"
Honey nodded, "He really doesn't realize he's falling for her. Lucky for him, neither does anyone else."
Mori nodded, frowning.
"Are you okay?" Honey asked, concerned.
"Ah" Mori answered, turning away from Kyoya and going inside to help clean up. Honey went back in as well, to eat more cake, smiling and not thinking about serious things anymore that night.
The twins got Haruhi safely back to her house. She had slept the whole way there and they had to help her get inside but they managed to do that without making fun of her too much or doing really anything outlandish. If she had been more awake, Haruhi would have been wondering if they were sick, as it were, she was to tired to notice anything. She told them goodnight at the door and went inside and straight to bed, glad that her dad was at work and couldn't interogate her that night.
She changed and fell straight to sleep, still wearing the bracelet and the necklace. Her last thoughts were of the confusing man who gave them to her and what she was going to do about him.
I added some in there that wasn't there before, for those who read the old version. I fixed the plot hole that had been there and added some convos. One more chapter to be edited and added before I started adding new chapters :) I hope all old and new readers are enjoying! I've missed this story very much and am happy to be back!
