Summary: Title from the song 'Glitter in the Air' by Pink. It's how I might imagine Haruhi to be with Tamaki after/near the end of the manga, she becomes a lot more emotional in my opinion. Second drabble for cookie-pocky-strawberry-love.

Tamaki noticed how every time he said something even slightly romantic, held her hand or touched her face her eyes would go faintly watery and her face would burn a deep pink. He always took it for embarrassment, laughing and joking that he'd found her weakness. It would go away with time.

But it didn't. Occasionally he would be doing something normal, like eating toast or reading a book and he would look up to see her staring at him with a strange look on her face, an expression Tamaki couldn't figure out.

'What is going on in your head, Haruhi?' he asked one day when he caught her staring, his tone light and teasing but with an underlying hint of concern.

She just laughed, 'my head? What about yours you strange boy. How I rely on an idiot like you, I don't know.'

Sometimes when he was lying in bed he would wonder if he was doing something wrong. Did she doubt him or herself? His mind would over exaggerate things as usual and he wouldn't be reassured until he called her and listen to her voice mumble groggily at him that he was an idiot and she would see him in the morning.

That made him so happy, was it stupid? She wanted to see him in the morning. It made his stomach feel warm and he would close his eyes, curling in the expensive sheets happily.

As time went by he became more desperate to make her happy, even when she smiled she always looked a little bit sad or lonely, it only proceeded to get worse after her father died. It frustrated him that he was blissfully happy and she wasn't, he had to make her feel loved and safe.

So he got down on one knee and pulled the box from his pocket.

'I love you Haruhi, will you marry me?'

Haruhi's hands started to shake and she could do anything but stare at him with shock on her face, 'I... you...'

'I'm not going to leave you Haruhi, that's what you're scared of isn't it? I won't let you be alone,' he placed the ring gently on her hand and she didn't stop him, her expression didn't change and the tears finally escaped from her eyes after all of these years and poured freely down her cheeks.

'Forever?' she whispered, knowing it sounded childish.

Tamaki pulled her down into a hug, 'of course forever silly, I could never leave you,'

Haruhi returned the hug and looked down at the ring on her finger, tears were still pouring down her face but she smiled and laughed. Tamaki was satisfied to hear that only happiness remained.
