DMG5440 : Glad you're enjoying (enjoyed) it! Hope you enjoy this last chapter as well :D
leap4joytx : I don't think I've gotten much better XD and me and pronouns have never gotten along very well. But I DID try for this last chapter ;)
Vatala Darkmist: EK! No hostage situation needed! Here's some more! XD
0Wishful-Thoughts0: RIGHT? Took long enough Hikaru ;P And Mori and Honey are always a good add :3
RainbowsNSmiles5: Awe thanks :D it's comments like that that make me want to write more :3 Unfortunately this IS the last chapter XD And Bona Fide means "true" or "authentic" while Camaraderie means "comradeship" or basically "friendship" Hope that helps :D
VtheCheshireMao : Dawe that's okay. So long as you review and tell me what you think, I could care less about the quality XD
i-Spit-on-Fire: Hmm..I get that often but never really thought it was true XD
Gingiie666: So says many HikaxHaru fans XD And I agreed :3
For a second, Tamaki was uncharacteristically speechless.
"Boss, did you hear me?" Hikaru asked impatiently after a few seconds had gone by without the blonde saying anything and simply gawking at the eldest twin like he had just sprouted an extra head.
"I did," Tamaki answered slowly, then eyed the twin suspiciously as he rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "But I don't know if I believe it." The blonde continued before moving closer to the twin until their noses were practically touching with a dead serious look on his face. "Blink twice if you're being forced to say this against your will, Hikaru."
Hikaru did nothing but stare at the blonde with growing irritation until the blonde squealed in delight.
"Then it's true!" Tamaki nearly sung, cupping his face in excitement.
"Yeah." Hikaru assured him somewhat awkwardly. "And I'm sorry I didn't have the guts to realize it before. And I'm sorry you had to cover for it…or whatever you thought you were doing." He added, still slightly puzzled by that part before noticing the equally confused look on Tamaki's face before elaborating, "They told me everything."
From the opposite side of the room, Kyoya, whose presence had gone unnoticed by the twin until now, smirked. "What an fortunate change of circumstance." He said, apparently to the ceiling.
Tamaki nodded in agreement. "I never thought I'd see the day! Our little Hikaru has finally grown-up Kyoya! His come to truly embrace his feelings towards our little Haruhi!"
Joining Tamaki by the door, the former vice-president looked at the twin, mildly impressed. "Have to say, we had our doubts, but it does pose the question of what do you intend to do now?"
Hikaru blinked. "Uh…"
"What do you mean 'what's he going to do next'?" Tamaki asked his friend in astonishment as he looped on arm around the twin and pointed down the hall in a dramatic fashion. "He's going to march straight up to Haruhi and confess his attraction!"
Okay, this was a bad idea… Hikaru thought sourly as he tried to think a way out of this latest development before the boss dragged him to what would probably be the most embarrassing feat of his life.
"Listen, boss, don't you think—" The twin began only to be cut off as the blonde rushed out the door shouting 'let's go!' loud enough that several of the floor's other occupants opened their doors to see what the commotion was all about.
Following at a much more civil and silent manner, Kyoya shook his head as he heard Tamaki bolt down up the stairs. "Of course he doesn't think, Hikaru." He said to no one in particular. "Tamaki just does."
Meanwhile, and quite unaware of anything going on the floors below her, Haruhi sat at the lone desk in her house, books and paper covering most of the surface, as she chewed thoughtfully on the end of her pen. Her eyes were set on a paper in front of her, the numerical lingo of math spread neatly on it finished for the most part minus a single problem lying on the bottom of the page. After she had stared at it blankly for a few more minutes she thought she had it when there was a sudden pounding on her door.
"Oh great, now what?" She muttered, hoping it was anybody but who she thought it was as she slowly, and on purpose, made her way to the door as the knocking turned into a pounding as if her door was a drum set in the hands of a little kid. With a heavy, and drawn out sigh, the female opened the door…
"Tamaki?" She said with a faint amount of shock but largely noticeable irritation aimed at the three males at her door.
Hikaru scoffed from the doorway. "We've know her for years and yet she's still in shock whenever she sees you. What does that say, Boss?" He asked, mostly in a vain effort to distract the former King from what he was trying to drag him into.
"Haruhi! Hikaru has something to tell you!" Tamaki virtually sung, smashing the twin's hope like a twig, and before the door had even fully opened, practically shoving the older twin in the door and into Haruhi before she could even utter a syllable as to why the three of them were there.
What could best be described as an extremely awkward and expecting silence filled the area and remained for a few minutes before Hikaru gulped.
Figuring he was already in the hot spot and running away was about as acceptable as saying nothing and just staring at Haruhi (currently looking at him with a mixed confused/miffed expression that warned him he better do something and fast). So with a deep breath, Hikaru told his heart to stop its annoying pounding, and took the dive with: "I…I'll...Always be here...Just so you know."
Not being what she had expected, the female blinked, taken aback by the almost sincere tone in the twin's voice and actually smiled at him, knowing this wasn't an everyday thing for the estranged twins. "Thanks, Hikaru." She said in much the same tones, as she looked at him with delighted eyes. "The same goes for me."
From the hall, Kyoya noticed the look that came over Tamaki's face and smirked. "Not quite the ending you expected?" He asked the blonde knowingly as he leaned against the crudely coloured wall of the hall. "These things take time Tamaki, just be patient."
"Oh, I plan on it," the blonde informed him happily, with an unmistakable sparkle in his florid eyes that made Kyoya feel as though the blonde had planned the encounter with impeccable results.
"So why are you all here, anyway?" Haruhi asked, loud enough so the hallway duo could hear.
Hikaru blinked. "Um…-" he began, mind working frantically for an excuse.
"Honey-senpai and Mori-senpai just arrived." Kyoya filled in flawlessly, without even looking at Haruhi. "I believe seeing you is one of the reasons they stop by, Haruhi."
"Yeah, that's it." Haruhi agreed, feeling dumb for not thinking of that himself.
"Exactly!" Tamaki exclaimed, enthusiastically "They're just outside waiting to see you." He cooed, grabbing the female and walking down the hall, getting all of two feet before Haruhi pulled away from him.
"Tamaki, wait." Haruhi said quietly, stopping the blonde dead in his tracks with her tone. Another silence filled the hall at the moment, during which Haruhi looked coyly at her feet before sighing and looking up at the blonde with obvious confidence. "I'm sor—"
Tamaki held up a hand, cutting her off mid-sentence. "No need to apologize, it was for the best, no?" He smiled full-heartedly, grabbing the female's hand and kissing it gently, unhindered by the look that came over her face. "After all, you'll always be my little girl Haruhi"
"Tamaki, now is hardly the time," Kyoya said patiently, walking past the scene without a second glance. Seconds later, he was joined by Tamaki and Haruhi.
As he watched them go, Hikaru felt a smile cross his face. They had been through a lot as The Host Club, and there had been times were he had honestly wondered how in the world they, or he, could stand the everyday drama and chaos that had come with it. To this day, the same question still buzzed around his head from time-to-time but somewhere along the line he knew what Honey had said before became the truth. They would always be a club, there was no doubt about that, but more importantly they would always be a family.
And a crazy one at that.
But they wouldn't change it for the world.
Alright! I know I said there'd be a epilogue but it seems like needless addition to me. So with this chapter I conclude Bona Fide Camaraderie and I give a big thanks to those of you who took the time to review and not just fav :P
To answer the question now, I'm not sure if I'll be making a sequel or not. I've been a busy bee lately and it's a relief to have this story done with. I have another ffic to finish before I can even think about writing a sequel but if I do, you will know ;)
