"Happy Valentines Day."
"Happy Valentines Day."
"Happy Valentines Day."
Everyone greeted their clients with a smile on their face and a rose at hand.
"Happy Valentines Day." You said giving your client a rose.
"Phew, That was a lot of work." Haruhi said sitting down on a couch.
Host Club was closed and you were cleaning up.
"Well, you should be expecting more work this coming weekend, Haruhi."
"Why's that, Kyouya-sempai?"
"Because" A spotlight showed Tamaki in a bed of roses," We are going to Paris."
"To Paris?! Paris, France?!" Haruhi almost fell over.
"Not exactly." Kyouya started explaining," We're going to a vacation house somewhere in Saotome where we can set it up similar to a scene in Paris. We figured it would be a good change to have it somewhere local."
"So, who's summer house is it?" The twins asked.
"Sasazuka-sempai's."
"Really?" Kaouru looked slyly at you.
"Ehehehe.." you scratched the back of your neck," The house isn't that big, but the yard has enough space for the construction and my parents said that we could use the house in whatever way we like, so…"
"We?" Hikaru joined," I don't think they were referring to the Host Club."
Both the twins' eyes moved from you and Takashi, who was standing a few feet away with Hani, indicating a certain "something".
"We're right, aren't we, sempai?"
You were shifting from foot to foot embarrassed.
"Yep, its true! It was where Suzu-chan and Takashi would spend their Valentines day together!" Hani answered for you.
"Yes! We knew it!" the twins Hi-5ed.
"In any case," Kyouya interrupted," all the plans are set and we leave 1st thing in the morning of the 14th. Agreed?"
The construction crew was busy and Kyouya was with them to help organize the yard.
(And by organize, I mean bossing around.)
"Ah, France!" Tamaki said as rose petals floated around him," my homeland, home of Paris! The city of lights! The city of LOVE!"
He kept on blabbering about things with the things harassing Haruhi.
It was 10 in the morning and the guests would be arriving at about 2 in the afternoon.
You were I the kitchen making some tea with Takashi and Mitskuni.
"Suzu-chan?"
"Yes, Mitskuni-kun?"
"Why did you offer to let them set-up here? Don't you want to spend Valentines Day with Takashi?"
Mori's POV
That question caught your attention somehow and you wanted to hear her answer.
She smiled.
"Of course I want to spend it with him. But I also want to spend it with all of you, too."
"Oh, I see." Mitskuni said still disappointed.
You felt different inside, too.
'What is----?'
'It's because you want to spend some alone time with her, baka.'
'What do you want from me, exactly?'
'You want to know?! How oblivious can you be?!'
'I'm starting to get irritated right now.'
'Yeah, so am I.''
"Takashi."
It was Suzu.
"Ah." You plainly replied.
"Mitskuni-kun went off to play with Haruhi-chan. Shouldn't you be going with
him? "
You shook your head.
"Oh, I see. You don't need to worry whenever Haruhi is there."
'What?'
"Suzu-sempai." Kyouya entered ,"Can I talk to you for a moment?"
"Sure."
And both of them left for the yard.
'Don't just stand there! Go with her!'
'Why?'
'I'll never allow MY Suzu to be alone with any other man!'
'My?'
'I'm you, baka.'
'How's that even possible? You're nothing like me.'
'That's 'cause I show your true feelings. The feelings you try to hide all the time!'
Your POV
You went out the yard with Kyouya.
"Wow! It's amazing!"
There were bistros and restaurant stands around the yard with the street lamps and the original versions of many famous paintings displayed elegantly on the walls. In the middle of it all, stood a 50 foot replica of the Eifel Tower, complete with a viewing dock.
"Yes, but there are still some things that need some finishing touches." Kyouya finally spoke ,"Furthermore, Suzu-sempai, would you mind if we put a little booth somewhere in the woods? Safety measures will be taken, of course."
"I won't mind. But what's it for?"
"You'll see." Kyouya said pushing up his glasses with that evil look in his eye.
'I have a bad feeling about this.'
The guests arrived a few hours ago and the sun already started setting.
"Ladies, Welcome!" Tamaki was on spotlight again ," We, The Host Club, present ourselves to you as your Harbingers of LOVE! And now, we shall greet you, a night that will never be forgotten!"
Then the floor beneath him elevated revealing the rest of the host club.
"A wonderful night of love to you, princesses."
Then the clients started squealing and fainting as the camera did a one-by-one close-up on all the hosts' faces with multicolored roses as the background.
All the guest calmed down and everyone else continued with their hosting.
Strange enough, you saw Hani with the twins and not with Takashi.
You were about to approach them when you felt a tap on your shoulder.
"Suzu-sempai?"
"Yes, Haruhi?"
"Could you bring this tray out to the booth in the woods? The customers there just recently ordered cakes, you see."
"Sure, no problem."
You made your way through the woods following a lighted path towards a small garden.
There was a field of a variety of flowers. And a vine-covered arc stood in the middle of the field.
But what caught your eye the most was a table under it.
You approached it.
As you came closer, your eyes widened with astonishment as the table you saw earlier was covered with a pink table cloth with laces on the rims. Scented candles lit the area giving it a soothing feel.
'This all looks so romantic!' You thought as you placed the sweets from the tray on the table. 'I wonder where all the customers are. And why are there only two seats?'
You were pondering on these questions when you heard something behind you.
"Suzu.'
You yelped in surprise. You spun around and saw Takashi.
"Don't scare me like that!" You said clutching your chest.
"Sorry."
Awkward Silence
"Takashi.""Suzu."
You both said in union.
"Sorry, you go first."
"You."
"No, really. What its it?"
"No. You."
.
.
.
You both laughed and smiled.
"Alright, I'll go first." You finally said.
You and Takashi were now seated on the table eating cake.
"Who do you think this is all for, Takashi-kun?" you asked him.
"Us, Maybe."
"Hmmm… who asked you to come here?"
"Twins."
"Mine's Haruhi."
"Set-up."
"Yeah, I agree."
Takashi smiled at you. You blushed but smiled back.
Suddenly, a strong breeze passed and blew off all the candles.
"Suzu!" You heard Takashi call out sounding worried.
"I'm here!" you said as you grabbed a hold of his sleeve.
He led you to a corner and made you sit between his legs. His arms around your shoulders. You rested your head on his chest.
It was a moonless night. A new moon.
"Suzu."
"Hmm?"
Then you felt him nuzzle his nose on your neck.
"Wh-what are you doing, Takashi-kun?" You felt heat rise up to your face.
'I know sitting between his legs is one thing, but his is different!'
You were still shocked at Takashi's sudden change of personality. But in a way, you liked it.
He made you face him and you felt his hot breath inches away from your lips.
You were blushing madly.
You felt him go closer as his breath got warmer.
The tip of his upper lip was about to touch yours when…
He stopped.
He stopped but didn't pull away.
You felt him trebling.
'Takashi.'
You held his hand and pulled away.
"You don't have to if you don't want to, you know."
"No. That's not---"
You gave him a peck on his cheek.
"Happy Valentines Day, Takashi-kun."
He sighed.
"Happy Valentines Day, Suzu-chan." And he held you closer.
As you heard this, you noticed a pint of disappointment in his voice. . .
Someone's POV
"Dingding!" The twins cheered in union. The rest of the Host Club were hiding under a nearby bush looking through night-vision goggles.
"Operation: Get-Mori-sempai-and-Suzu-sempai-some-alone-time-during-Valentines-Day COMPLETE!" Tamaki whispered triumphantly.
"That's a stupid mission name." You said bluntly.
Tamaki sat in his corner of woe.
"Nevertheless, the operation was a success. Yes? And the fan worked right on schedule." Kyouya said writing something down on his clipboard.
'How can he do that?! It's too dark to even see!'
"Yea! It was a great success!" Hani sat down beside you. "Takashi looks really happy now."
"Yeah, I guess you're right."
You smiled as you watched Suzu and Mori's dark figures.
