Thanks to all that reviewed, followed, and favorited my story!

Haruhi winced at the sound of the final bell knowing full well that the host club's meeting would start very soon. Kyoya had cancelled the club today and had announced that he had something to tell them. The club members would meet in Music Room #3 and Kyoya and Haruhi planned to announce their relationship. Problem is, neither knew how they would react.

Haruhi stood from her seat and immediately felt Hikaru's and Kaoru's arms around her. "What?"

"It's the end of the day," Hikaru started.

"That means Kyoya gets to tell us his 'secret.'" Kaoru finished.

Haruhi thought quickly to come up with a believable reaction. "Oh right. I forgot about that."

"You forgot?" Hikaru asked loudly as they exited the room and headed up the stairs.

Kaoru added, "How could you forget?"

Haruhi shrugged. "We had a test today. I was more worried about that than whatever Kyoya-sempai wishes to tell us."

Hikaru rolled his eyes. "Figures with you being a commoner and all."

"How does me being a commoner have to do with that?" Haruhi asked. She turned to face the twin on her right.

Hikaru rolled his eyes. "Commoners are weird. How am I expected to know how they work?"

Haruhi took a deep breath. "Well, with that failed logic, we're here."

Kaoru swung the doors of the music room and entered behind his brother and friend. Kyoya and Tamaki were sitting on a couch. Kyoya was typing away on his laptop while Tamaki was probably begging Kyoya to tell him. Mori and Honey were on a couch across from the second years. Honey was digging into a large slice of cake while Mori was sitting silently, as always.

As the trio entered, all heads turned towards them. Tamaki jumped up and brought Haruhi into a tight embrace. "My daughter! It's lovely to see you again! Did those demon twins hurt you?"

Haruhi gasped. "Can't….breathe…."

Kyoya pushed his glasses up his nose. "Let her go, Tamaki. She can't breathe."

Tamaki let go of Haruhi who took a big breath. "Thanks, Kyoya," she gasped.

"I'm so sorry my daughter. Please forgive me!" Tamaki begged.

"Whatever, just leave me alone," Haruhi answered.

Tamaki gasped and frowned. He immediately moved to his corner and started to cultivate mushrooms. Hikaru laughed and patted Haruhi on the back. "That's got to be a record."

Kaoru laughed. "That's definitely the fastest you got Tamaki to go mope in the corner."

Haruhi rolled her eyes and plopped down on the couch next to Kyoya. Kyoya looked over and discreetly raised an eyebrow. Haruhi shrugged and looked away.

Honey said, "Haru-chan! Would you like a piece of cake?"

"I'm not that-" Haruhi started but after looking at Honey's heartbroken face, she said, "Yeah, I'll take a piece of cake."

Honey's face immediately brightened and handed Haruhi a piece of strawberry cake. "Here you go, Haru-chan."

"Thanks, Honey-sempai." Haruhi took a bite and looked around the room. Kaoru sat down beside Haruhi and reached out to take a piece of cake. With reactions that could rival a snake, Honey reached out and slapped Kaoru's arm.

"Ow!" Kaoru screamed holding his reddening hand.

Honey growled, "Don't touch my cake."

"Sorry," Kaoru said. He leaned back and looked begging at Haruhi. "Can I please have a bite of your cake, Haruhi?"

Haruhi sighed. "It's futile to resist, isn't it?"

Kaoru nodded vigorously.

Haruhi held out a bite on the fork. "One bite. That's it."

"Yay!" Kaoru ate the piece of cake seductively, sticking his tongue out and sucking the piece of cake into his mouth. Haruhi merely rolled her eyes but Kyoya started tapping harder on his keyboard, obviously angered.

Kaoru didn't seem to notice and said, "Kyoya-sempai, didn't you have something to tell us?"

"Yes," Kyoya answered. "But it doesn't seem like everyone's ready." Kyoya motioned to Tamaki and Hikaru.

Hikaru was poking Tamaki with a stick which Tamaki would slap away. Kaoru called, "Hey, are you guys coming over or not? Kyoya says it's story time!"

Tamaki was off like a bullet towards the couch. He chanted childishly, "Story-time! Story-time!"

Kyoya pushed his glasses up and drawled, "Yes, story-time. Now shut up and listen."

Hikaru strode over to the couch and sat beside his brother. "Well, out with it," he prompted.

Kyoya took a deep breath and said, "Haruhi and I are a couple."

Haruhi looked at him aghast. "That's how you tell them? Just straight up, nothing lead up to it at all?"

Before Kyoya could reply and defend himself, the room exploded with shouts.

"I knew it!"

"It's about time!"

"Better not hurt her, Ootori."

"Don't touch my daughter!"

"Good."

Haruhi turned her shocked face on the rest of the club. "What?"

Hikaru shrugged. "We knew it was coming."

Kaoru nodded. "The tension between you two was unmatched."

"H-how?" Kyoya stuttered out. He had not been expecting this, and Ootori's hate being caught off guard.

Honey said through a mouthful. "The way you guys looked at each other…we just knew."

Mori nodded and looked at Kyoya. "Don't hurt her."

"I won't," Kyoya promised, squirming slightly under Mori's hard gaze, not that he'd ever admit it.

Kaoru laughed. "You two make each other happy. That's good enough for me."

"Promise me you won't hurt my daughter!" Tamaki shouted.

Kyoya rolled his eyes. "I promise."

"Then yay! You two can be together forever and get married and have kids-" Tamaki choked as he realized what he just said. "No! No, you cannot have kids, and no you cannot have se-"

"Shut up, Tamaki," Haruhi threatened.

"But you can't-" Tamaki started.

"What we do or not do is none of your business," Haruhi insisted.

"Oh really?" Kyoya said raising an eyebrow at Haruhi.

Haruhi blushed and said, "Pervert."

Kyoya laughed and shut his laptop. "Perhaps."

…~…

Haruhi and Kyoya stood outside Mr. Ootori's home office holding hands, each occasionally squeezing the other's hand. Using her other hand, Haruhi started to bite her nails. Kyoya rolled his eyes and slapped Haruhi's hand away. "Stop being so nervous."

"But your father-"

"I'm sure my father will be ecstatic about our relationship," Kyoya answered. "Besides, he suggested that I get involved in a romantic relationship with you."

"Is that why you started our relationship?" Haruhi asked worriedly.

Kyoya chuckled. "Give me a little credit. I loved you long before then."

"Good," Haruhi answered.

An assistant exited Kyoya's father's office. "Ootori-san will see you now."

Kyoya nodded and led Haruhi through the door and into his father's darkened office. Not much had changed since last time but this time, Mr. Ootori was standing beside his desk sipping from a glass. "Haruhi Fujioka. It's wonderful to finally meet you."

"Hello, Mr. Ootori. Same to you," Haruhi replied kindly.

Mr. Ootori turned to Kyoya. "What is it you wanted to speak to me about, son?"

"Well, father, I just wanted to tell you," Kyoya stammered. "that Haruhi and I are together."

Mr. Ootori raised an eyebrow. "In a relationship."

"Yes."

Suddenly, a large, out-of-place smile appeared on Mr. Ootori's face. "This is wonderful news! It is great to hear that a girl has finally captured my son's heart."

Haruhi stammered, "Um…yeah."

Mr. Ootori stepped forward and grasped Haruhi's hand. "I am so excited that it is you, Haruhi Fujioka. I hope one day that you become part of our family."

"Dad!" Kyoya said shocked.

"Um…so do I, I guess…" Haruhi stuttered.

"That's wonderful! Wonderful, I say! Well, don't let me keep you two lovebirds distracted. Go off, go on a date and have fun!" Mr. Ootori replied cheerfully while pushing them out of his office. He shut the door and left the two teenagers standing there awestruck.

Haruhi recovered first. "That was a little of character, wasn't it?"

Kyoya nodded vigorously. "I was not expecting that…"

Haruhi took a deep breath. "Eh, oh well. Let's take his advice and go on a date. I don't want you thinking on this all night…"

Kyoya nodded and headed towards the garage. He decided he shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth and just accept his good fortune.

Besides, he'd have to make sure everyone knew he and Haruhi were dating, because after all, Ootori's don't get jealous…right?

Any more ideas for chapters...?
