I made a typo in the last chapter… where it says "plus sofas" I meant plush – sorry!

Okay, as requested by Ruka-Yuuka, this chapter will contain MorixHaruhi! There isn't a lot of dialogue, but after all, it IS Mori.

In serious need of some constructive criticism here guys, you people are being so nice. Anything you can think of would be great! (: Also, if you're wondering, they're going to propose the '500 day theory' to her after all of the guys have had a chapter. :3

And yes to my reviewer – who I suspect reviewed more than once (thank you!) - Kyouya did confess to Haruhi!

Disclaimer: Owning nothing, gaining nothing.

Kyouya opened the door to reveal…. Nobody, just an empty room, the screen on, but the film had been abandoned.

"T-They're gone.."

Haruhi knew she wouldn't be able to handle the storm if she wasn't surrounded by her friends.

"It's okay; you're going to be fine. They're probably just looking for you."

Kyouya didn't even want to admit it to himself that there was a part of him that didn't want to be there for Haruhi after she had rejected him, and made him feel like this. But he knew, in his heart, that he would always be there for her, no matter what she said.

Haruhi had only been alone for about thirty minutes, so it was still early, around nine. Kyouya knew from the weather reports that the thunder probably wouldn't start for another half an hour.

Kyouya put an arm around Haruhi, and pulled her into the room, leading her down on a sofa, and setting her down.

"Stay here, I know my way around, and I'll find them. I will be back before the thunder starts, I promise."

He left before Haruhi could process what he had said, he left the door open, so there was more light than the flickering screen could provide. A gust of wind blew through an open window, and it caused the door to slam, making Haruhi shreek, loudly.

A minute later she heard heavy footsteps in the hallway, and the door burst open again to reveal a tall man, illuminated by the light from the corridor. He rushed to her side and tilted his head slightly, asking an unspoken question.

"I'm fine, thank you, Mori-senpai."

He brought his hand up, and let his fingers run across her cheek, and with his other hand, lightly tilted her chin up, so he was face to face with her.

Haruhi's heart was racing, she was centimetres away from him, and couldn't take her eyes off his lips. He leaned forward and kissed her passionately, only for a second, but the feeling lingered long after the kiss had ended. Fireworks. Vibrations ran through her body and she realised her eyes had closed.

Wait… WHAT?!

What was she doing? It was… That was… Her first kiss? From a guy, at least.

It wasn't like her, but she was enjoying the time she was spending with Mori. She did feel, however, that it would be probably be more sensible of her to lean back from him, and she did just that. The open window was blowing a cold breeze into the room, and his face was flickering with the light the cinema screen was casting on them.

As soon as she moved, she missed his warmth and just let her leg brush against his. For her, this was all new, and she wasn't experienced with acting in this manner with a member of the opposite sex.

But Mori was so gentle and protective of her, and she knew he wouldn't ever hurt her, either emotionally, or physically. She just felt so… Safe. She had never felt so safe or calm with one person.

Kyouya made her feel nervous, but in such a good way, he made her heart flutter and her cheeks warm. They had so much in common, and yet he made her wonder what was going to happen next. He wasn't the sort of person to be predictable, and that made things interesting. Whenever she thought of the Host Club, her thoughts lingered on Kyouya a bit longer than the others.

However, that was before. Kyouya had a strong effect on her, it was true, but she had realised, in the last ten minutes that Mori was just as tempting and could have a very different effect on her. And different was no worse, although she couldn't decide. Was how she felt with Mori a better feeling than when she was with Kyouya?

Mori spoke for the first time.

"How do you feel about me?"

She stuttered, but that only made her more determined to get her words out.

"I don't know… You mean a lot to me…"

He closed his eyes, but opened them a couple of seconds later to say.

"You mean more than a lot to me."

Haruhi drew in a breath sharply, but smiled slightly. She didn't say anything, but he prompted her.

"What do you think?"

Her smile faded, but her eyes warmed with pity.

"I – I need some time to think.."

And that was about the time that Kyouya stepped through the doorway.

Ahhh! I feel horrible writing that last bit. Hurting both Kyouya's and Mori's feelings? Not easy on my conscience.. especially with that cliffhanger… Hopefully you enjoyed it, please review, I love reading them! I really hope I see you in the next chapter (:
