Chapter 15

Takashi and Haruhi decided to keep quiet about living together, both knowing full well how the other Hosts, and worse- how the fangirls would react. They wouldn't lie, they would just not tell anyone. And they wouldn't deny it, but they weren't going to bring it up or say anything suggesting it. They would just play it cool for now and maybe sometime in the future, then they would say something.

Honey, of course, knew that Takashi and Haruhi were living together, but he didn't say anything either. But Honey did start acting weird. He seemed to watch Takashi and Haruhi closely anytime they were near each other. Unfortunately, neither Haruhi nor Takashi could figure out why, and when they asked, Honey pretended not to know what they were talking about. He was so convincing that Haruhi and Takashi started to think they were just being paranoid.

But they were right. Honey was watching them- and very closely. He was watching them for any indication that they liked each other. Don't misunderstand, it wasn't because he was jealous, it was because he WANTED Haruhi and Takashi to become a couple. He was a borderline fanboy.

'They obviously like each other, but they're both too shy to admit it or do anything about it…' Honey thought as he watched them. 'Maybe…they need a little push,' he thought with a smirk tugging at his lip.

"Honey-senpai?" one of his customers asked in concern. She noticed he wasn't paying attention anymore and was staring off into space, and worse, he was smirking. "Are you alright?" she asked.

"Hai, gomen," he said with a bright smile and a cute little laugh. He went through the rest of the day pretending to listen to his customers while he plotted.

(A/N: Small time-skip to that Friday in the club room)

'This is going to be perfect~' Honey mused to himself.

"Tama~chan~" Honey called as he waved Tamaki over.

"Hai?" Tamaki asked when he reached Honey's and Takashi's section.

"I wanna go out!" Honey announced, making the whole room freeze.

"N-Nani?" Tamaki asked, glancing at Haruhi.

"I want the whole Host Club to go out somewhere!" Honey said in a sweet and excited voice, masking his annoyance at Tamaki's glance. How dare he look at Takashi's Haru-chan!

"But we have guests," Tamaki reasoned.

"So after then?" Honey asked, pulling out his chibi, watery, irresistible eyes.

"H-Hai!" Tamaki agreed, unable to say no to the cuteness.

"Yay~" Honey cheered before he took another bite of his cake. He noticed the questioning looks, but he ignored them and pretended to be too in to his cake.

"Mitsukuni," Takashi said quietly.

"Hai~?" Honey asked around a mouthful of cake.

"What are you planning?" Takashi asked in his usual calm, quiet voice.

"Nothing, I just want us all to go out and have fun together~!" Honey said cheerfully.

This excuse seemed to satisfy Takashi, as he nodded and went back to entertaining his guests as usual. And everyone else seemed convinced too. The rest of the day went smoothly and after the Hosts' closed up, they surrounded Honey, who was eating yet another slice of cake.

"Alright, Honey, where are we going?" Tamaki asked.

Honey grinned up at them and said something none of them expected, "the aquarium!"

"Why there?" Hikaru and Kaoru asked.

"Cause we haven't gone there yet and it's a popular common person's place," Honey explained as he took the last bite of his cake.

At that, Tamaki was instantly all for it. The others took a little more convincing, but it didn't take long for Honey to get his way. Within minutes they left the club room and headed for the limo. Honey grabbed Haruhi's and Takashi's hand and led them to the limo quickly and made sure that they sat together, with Takashi and Honey on either side of Haruhi, much to Tamaki's disappointment.

When they arrived at the aquarium, Honey once again took Tamaki's and Haruhi's hand and led them inside, and quickly sending the "couple" off on their own way before heading off the others and telling them Haruhi and Takashi had gone ahead and pretended to lead them in the direction the "couple" had gone, when in reality he took the others in the opposite direction.

"Where is everyone?" Haruhi asked Takashi, knowing full well that he wouldn't know either. Takashi shrugged in response and the two waited for a few minutes more. "Should we wait for them?" Haruhi asked as she looked up at the tall man beside her.

"Iie, they can catch up," He responded after a few moments pause.

"Well then, where to first?" Haruhi asked with a small smile. Takashi returned the smile with one of his own and the two started to explore the surprisingly large aquarium.

The entire time the Host Club was there, Honey made sure that the other Hosts stayed away from Haruhi and Takashi. He was constantly on guard. If he saw a glimpse of either of them, he would drag the others in the opposite direction, always having an excuse ready. Tamaki whined the entire time about not being with his "daughter", to which Honey would give him a sweet smile and then distract him, all the while being completely annoyed at Tamaki and his behavior and his attachment to Haruhi.

'Why can't he get it through his thick skull that Haru-chan is Takashi's?' Haruhi yelled in his head several times. He was trying his hardest to stay cute and happy, but it was turning into a losing battle.

But then finally, it was time to leave. Honey found Haruhi and Takashi surprisingly quick and led everyone out the front door. When Tamaki saw Haruhi, he immediately ran to her and proceeded to cling to her. That was the last straw for Honey.

Before anyone knew what had happened, Tamaki was on the ground holding his sore head and Honey was leading Takashi and Haruhi to the waiting limo. Kyouya sighed and helped Tamaki up and led the "injured" boy to the limo. The twins laughed- a lot. Not just at Tamaki getting hit, but that HONEY had had enough of him and hit him, now THAT was funny. If Tamaki was so annoying that sweet little Honey would hit him, that was bad- and that just made it all the more hilarious to them.

Honey once again made sure that he was sitting on one side of Haruhi and that Takashi was sitting on Haruhi's other side, leaving Tamaki to pout further and glare at Honey for the entire ride back to the school. Honey, of course, just ignored him and talked to Haruhi excitedly about all the fish he had seen.

When they arrived at the front gates, Honey pulled Takashi aside and talked to him quietly while the others said their goodbyes for the weekend. When Honey pulled Takashi over to the others, he said goodbye to everyone cheerfully before effectively shooing the others home, leaving Takashi and Haruhi at the front gates, presumably to say their goodbyes. They waited until everyone was out of view before they finally headed home. The trip home was quiet, but it was the comfortable silence that they were becoming so accustomed too.

"Do you want to do something tomorrow?" Takashi asked suddenly, making Haruhi jump slightly.

"S-sure, what do you want to do?" Haruhi asked as she stared ahead.

"We could see a movie," Takashi suggested.

"Sounds good," Haruhi said as she looked over and gave him a sweet smile. Takashi smiled back at her.

After they finally reached their home, they ate a simple dinner that only took a few minutes to cook. They washed dishes together and then watched TV in the living room together on the couch. Ten minutes into the program they were watching, Takashi noticed that Haruhi leaned against him. He carefully wrapped his arm around her to allow her to get comfortable. A few minutes after that, Haruhi was asleep. He wasn't surprised since they had been busy all day, so he just let her sleep curled up in his arms until the program ended. He then turned the TV off and picked Haruhi up, careful not to wake her, and carried her into her room. He laid her in her bed and covered her up, then stroked her hair gently before turning to leave.

He was stopped by Haruhi's small hand grabbing his. He looked back and saw that she was still asleep, but she seemed tense, like she was on the verge of having a nightmare or at least waking up. He decided to stay for a few minutes to allow her to relax. He sat on the edge of her bed and stroked her hair soothingly, helping her relax into a peaceful sleep. She nuzzled his hand and cuddled up to him, which brought out a small blush across his cheeks.

He carefully stood after he had successfully gotten Haruhi to relax and quietly left her room. He walked to his room and collapsed on his bed. His thoughts wondered back to what Honey had told him earlier, making him sigh into his sheets. He got up just long enough to change into his pajama pants, deciding it was too hot for a shirt and laying back down, covering his eyes with his arm. He soon fell asleep and dreamed of being on a date with Haruhi.
