A/N: I really need to prioritize. I am only on episode 1 on both Free and Attack on Titan, episode 3 on Supernatural, episode 8 on Durarara, and Act 5 Act 2 on Homestuck. And I have three stories to write. Holy shit.
(HaruhiPOV)
"Mama! Papa came and picked me up from school!"
I look up from the dinner I'm cooking and see my daughter bound happily into the kitchen with Takashi right behind her.
"Well that's a nice surprise. And it's pleasant to see you home so early. How was work honey?"
He walks over to me and kisses my forehead.
"It was fine. We have to talk later."
"Of course. So Kiseki, what is it that you did to get sent home?"
I look over at her as she slowly tries to slide onto one of the chairs. She acts so much like the twins. They're more like big brothers to her than anything else. I'm glad that they are so close to her.
"She bit one of the students."
I look up at Takashi and then back to Kiseki.
"He hit me first. He's a big meanie. Tsuri Suoh is the biggest meanie ever. I hate him."
I walk over to Kiseki and kneel down in front of her. "It's not nice to bite people Kiseki. Even if they did start it. Please don't bite."
"Alright Mama. I won't do it again."
"And what was this boy's name again?"
"His name was Tsuri. Tsuri Suoh. Hey. He has the same last name as that guy Tamaki in that one picture."
I nod my head and smile at her. It was a fake smile but I didn't want to worry her. I get up and walk over to Takashi. "Can we talk in the living room dear?"
"Hn."
Me and him walk into the living room and sit down on the couch. Why do I feel so nervous about Tamaki? He was our friend. Just because of that one mistake doesn't mean he's a bad person. I exhale heavily and look up at Takashi.
"Haruhi. Tamaki called earlier. He's back in town. And he said that he is going to come over sometime today. I just hope it's before the dinner. Kyoya still holds a slight grudge against him."
"Takashi, Tamaki is still our friend. He isn't a bad person. I don't think we should worry about him coming over. I actually think that him visiting is a good thing. We haven't seen each other in so long."
He sighs and looks down at the carpet, "if that's what you think dear, then I am 100% behind it." He gets up from the couch just as the doorbell rings. I look over at the clock; it's only 3:45. They said they would be here around 6. So that means, it's Tamaki. I get up from the couch and go to answer the door but Takashi lightly grabs my wrist. "Don't talk too long. You know how Kiseki gets around strangers."
"Of course."
He lets go of me and I answer the door. Standing in front of me is an always over cheerful Tamaki and an always poise Éclair.
"HA~RU~HI! It's been 5 years already! It felt like a life time! But Papa's here now!"
Tamaki wraps me in a tight hug and spins me in a circle. I didn't mind it this time. It felt good to have him back after all this time. It felt so familiar. Just like when we were in the Host Club.
"It's good to see you too. Now could you please put me down. I am finding it rather hard to breathe."
"Of course, of course."
He puts me down, a large, happy smile still beams on his face. I make my way around him and greet Éclair. "I'm surprised to see you here Éclair. The last time we saw each other was at the Ouran Fair."
"Yes. Well, it is good to see you Haruhi. I see you made a living for yourself."
"Actually, yes I have. What have you been doing since last time we saw each other?"
"Well, me and Tamaki are now married with two kids. Tsuri and Hana. What about you?"
"Me and Takashi are married actually. And we have a little girl named Kiseki."
Over the next few minutes me and Éclair casually talked about how we were doing now and we both failed to notice that Tamaki was no longer in the room with us. I look around but see no sign of him. I wonder where he's gone to.
"I wonder where Tamaki went."
"Me too. We have to get going soon for a party at his father's estate and we still have to pick up some paperwork for his court date… Oops. That slipped out."
I look at Éclair with a bit of worry but decide not to ask about it, she will probably tell me when she's ready. Me and her walk into the kitchen where we see Tamaki, Takashi, and Kiseki all sitting at thee little breakfast table. Tamaki is playing with Kuma-chan with Kiseki and Takashi seems to be wearily watching his every move with our daughter. I clear my throat and they all turn to look at me.
"Uh, Tamaki, Éclair says that you two have some important things to take care of and that you guys need to leave soon so you won't be late."
In the blink of an eye, Tamaki gives Éclair a look that looked nothing at all like him. It was quick so that no one would notice unless you were looking directly at him. He gets up out of the chair and walks over to us with his usual smile back on his face.
"Of course. Me and Éclair have to go now. We will see you guys soon."
I escort Tamaki and Éclair to the door and happily wave then goodbye. As I watch them leave, a feeling of unease settled in my stomach. Tamaki, what happened to you? You never looked like that to anyone before. I take a deep breath and walk happily back into the kitchen to finish dinner as the other two decided to play a game of checkers.
