So … Schools just started again for me, and I won't have a lot of time to write, especially as I'm going to be doing my GCSEs as the end of this year.
ALSO! It seems so far that Mori is the favourite to win. I haven't officially counted the votes, but it seems this way. So unless I get spammed with different hosts, MorixHaruhi will be the final result.
Okay, I also wanted to say *please don't hate me* :3 that despite the pretty much set ending, there is 500 days to fill. So please don't lose patience with me if I throw in some drama and stir it up a little.
Disclaimer: I don't own OHSHC.
"… I'll do it! I'll choose between you!"
Haruhi thought on her words that night, after she had left Tamaki's mansion at the first chance she had. She didn't want to seem rude, but she couldn't deny, it was awkward.
Of course, she wasn't allowed to simply walk home. Tamaki had asked his driver to take her home in one of his amazing limos.
She couldn't have exactly said 'no'. Especially as she had left earlier than was strictly necessary.
She lay on her bed staring up at the ceiling, and sighed. She was glad she didn't have to face them tomorrow – she was on school break. It was two hours before she usually went to sleep, but she was exhausted. The many thoughts running through her head prevented her from sleep, however, and she turned over and buried her head in her pillow.
Her door opened and her father entered.
"Haruhiiiiiii! I made you some tea! I thought you might need it for your studying! You work so har- oh!"
The flamboyant transvestite hurried to his daughters' side. He put a hand on her head and ran it through her hair gently.
"Haruhi? Darling?"
"Mmmph." Came the muffled response from the girl on the bed.
"Do you want to tell daddy about it?"
Haruhi turned over and blew out a frustrated sigh.
"All of my friends love me."
"Ohhhh, Honey... I know…"
"YOU KNOW?!"
"Kyouya called me in the morning. He told me everything."
She groaned. "You're no help at all!"
Ranka patted her shoulder.
"You know… Your mother was the same."
Haruhi sat up, and looked up at her father with big, brown, expectant eyes.
"She was?"
"Yeah… You have her eyes, her determination, her positivity, and when you smile, it reminds me of her."
His lips twitched upward, but his eyes burned with sadness. And she leant forward and hugged Ranka around his middle.
"I miss her, dad."
"I miss her too, sweetheart. Now… Do you know what she would have done about this mess?"
"No, but I do know she was a lot smarter than I am."
"Hey, hey! Your intelligence is one thing you got from your mother, at least!"
Haruhi smiled fleetingly at the compliment. "So what would she have done?"
"She would have found the best of the situation. And she would have made sure that whoever she picked at the end would make her happy."
Haruhi thought, and smiled up at her father.
"Thanks dad, I'll try to make the right choice."
He stroked her hair once more and left her, handing her the tea, which she sipped and lay back down, propped against the wall.
If she had to decide… If it came down to it, who would she choose?
She really couldn't decide right now; she'd only just started to think about them in that way, after all.
She smiled at the thought of being like her mother. She was an amazing person, and unlike others, she didn't have anyone to tell her that she looked like her, as Ranka didn't like talking about her.
She savoured the moment, and smiled.
An idea came to Haruhi, and she reached for her mobile that the twins had given her. It was full of text messages, asking if she was okay, seen as she had left early. One which read:
"Haruhiii, we're bored! Come sleep with us tonight?"
She smiled. It was from Kaoru's phone but it was obviously Hikaru who had sent it. She thought for a moment, then decided what she needed to do. What she wanted to do.
The phone only rang twice, when he picked it up.
"Hey? Haruhi?"
"Kaoru? Do you think I could see you? Tomorrow?"
"Yeah, sure… I'll tell Hikaru and –"
"No, Kaoru, I just want to see you tomorrow, I'll make it up to Hikaru some other time.."
She could feel his devilish smile down the phone.
"So… Tono?"
"No… not him either…"
"Don't tell me, you want Honey to come?"
"No Kaoru! Just you and me!"
"Sooo… Like a date?"
"… Yeah, I suppose so…"
He laughed "Well… dress up nice... Text me tomorrow with the details!"
He hung up, and she smiled, disbelieving but laughing at his cheek.
She tucked her duvet under her chin, and after running the phone conversation through her head for the third time, she fell asleep, a smile on her face.
Ok, Ok… I KNOW you want Mori fluff, but I really can't look forward to 500 days of nothing but 'I love yous' and *Throws up*.
Yeah, I'm romantic, but I honestly think if I don't add a little competition its gonna get a bit boring… So bare with me, please :3
'Til next time.
