Haruhi/Honey
The Cute Warrior: Part VII
He may be small and cute and look like a grade-schooler, but he wasn't. He just hadn't grown as tall as everybody else. Most people knew not to cross him as he was the unholy terror of the Haninozuka family, just as Mori was of the Morinozuka family. Neither of them had been beaten in combat yet.
Haruhi caught his interest in the beginning. Actual interest, while it took some time for the other Host Club members to develop feeling for the girl. He found her cute, even in that ridiculous getup of hers. It only took her accepting Usa-chan for Honey to make his decision.
He would watch her. Endear himself to her. See how she felt about relationships. And if she couldn't stand to be with someone so short, with their growth stunted, well that simply meant he would settle for being as close to her as he could.
Haruhi liked Honey-senpai. Platonically. Actually that could go for every member in the Host Club. Haruhi had studies and more important things to focus on besides love. Love could wait until after she had a successful career and a good home.
She would admit she was startled when Honey took down all the security guards. Even though she had told Mori not to worry, as Honey could take care of himself, she had not expected that. Not from Honey. But she still adored the cute warrior.
