A/N: Hello again, my little ducklings~
Thank you for all the new favourites, follows and reviews! They make me rather happy indeed :3 so keep it up! Have another chapter and I hope you all enjoy!~
I was having a pleasant dream. Before me was a vast assortment of foods, a buffet all for me. There was sushi, meats, dumplings, breads, pastries, cakes and many other things that I couldn't even name but they still made my mouth water. And just as I was about to sink my teeth into some Ootoro for the first time, I was jerked awake by a shout and a shriek. Even my pillow seemed perturbed by the noise and it began to shift about under me. Wait… what? As everything came into focus, I found I was looking up into Tamaki's glistening amethyst eyes and Kyoya's sleep addled and irritated face. I shot up and almost head butted Tamaki in the process when I realised that my head had been resting safely in Kyoya's lap. And there was me thinking that my pillow had come to life or something. My cheeks blazed and I wasn't entirely sure if I was more annoyed at myself for having fallen asleep in such a position or at the host club for having interrupted. Either way, I wasn't pleased about being woken from a rather pleasant sleep. A fierce aura emanated from Kyoya, who clearly wasn't pleased at being awoken for the second time in one day by his friends and the hosts knew in an instant that waking us wasn't their brightest idea of the day.
"Haruhi!" Tamaki lunged forward and grabbed me firmly by the shoulders, shaking me weakly. His eyes were wide and disbelieving. "What are you doing? You can't be in such compromising positions with your Mommy! It's just wrong!"
I brushed his hands off with ease so I could sit up straight and rub the sleep from my eyes. He whimpered at the dismissal and took a couple of shaky steps backwards to stand in between the twins. "What are you doing here, sempai?"
"Tono thought you had both been kidnapped and killed or something stupid," Hikaru glared sideways at Tamaki as he spoke and prodded him in the side with a bony elbow.
"But Honey-sempai suggested we phone here," Kaoru added, raising an eyebrow at me. His eyes flickered between the pair of us on the couch as a light bulb seemed to light up above his head.
Honey bounced over and leapt into my arms. His fluffy blonde locks tickled my face as he nuzzled into the side of my neck and spoke at the same time. "We were worried about you, Haru-chan!"
"And then we find you asleep on Mommy's lap! Kyoya, explain!" Tamaki wrenched the smaller blonde off me to carry on his tirade of shaking and weeping before rounding on his best friend with accusatory eyes and a pout that would rival a toddler taking a tantrum.
"We fell asleep whilst watching a movie, you buffoon, which is bound to happen when you wake your friends up early on their very rare days off," Kyoya growled, narrowing his eyes to glare at the group menacingly. They all backed off a couple of steps to avoid being enveloped in the threatening darkness that surrounded the usually cool member of the host club. Thankfully it didn't scare me as it normally would, presumably due to our mutual dislike for the boys at that moment in time.
"Then why didn't you invite Daddy back to your house, Kyoya? We could have had private family time!" Tamaki grovelled, pout intensifying.
"Boss, maybe they just wanted some alone time," Kaoru suggested, biting his lip to try to stop himself from laughing. Honey raised his eyebrows and his mouth formed a perfect O shape before he began to giggle. Tamaki went through the motions of looking perplexed to angry to distraught in a matter of seconds.
"Don't be silly, Kaoru," I argued, narrowing my eyes at the chuckling brothers. They dismissed me with a one shouldered shrug and laughing harder.
"Aw, it's okay, Haru-chan!" Honey reassured me after he'd gotten his giggling under control. He produced a large pearly smile as he gave me a quick hug. "I'm sure you and Kyo-chan would make a great couple!"
"Honey-sempai! Don't say things like that! Mommy's and daughters can't date!" Tamaki cried, distraught to the point that he looked as though he could faint at any moment. Mori shifted behind him just in case he had to catch the host club king before he hit the ground. In the meantime, I was both shocked and embarrassed enough at my sempai's words. They had to be crazy if they thought that Kyoya and I could be a couple. Not that the thought was entirely unpleasant come to think of it, but I wasn't girlfriend material for any of the elite and excessively wealthy hosts. I was just a commoner to them after all and I was reminded of that fact often enough. This didn't stop my face from turning a bright red as the thought of Kyoya and I together floated through my head.
"Aw, see! Haru-chan does like Kyo-chan. That's nothing to be embarrassed about!" He assured me from his new position on my lap.
Kyoya cleared his throat, drawing their attention back to him in an instant. Unlike myself, he had managed to continue looking calm and contained throughout the ordeal. "If you don't mind, I do believe that any relationship of either myself or Haruhi would be any of your business."
I tried to catch his eyes as he spoke, but he opted to keeping them closed. I wasn't sure what he was achieving by riling the hosts up, but I could tell that our reactions were amusing to him by the slight twitch in his cheek.
"So you don't deny it!?" Tamaki shouted, pointing a shaking finger at his best friend. He looked ready to cry.
The raven haired boy had hardly even blinked before he replied, "No."
"Kyoya-sempai!" I cried and elbowed him in the side. Wincing, he slung an arm over my shoulders and pulled me up against his side. The shock rendered me incapable of being able to pull away and I hardly noticed the surprised expressions sitting in front of us. That is until I heard a rather loud thump that turned out to be Tamaki finally fainting. Mori had missed his chance to save him and had joined the other hosts in their gaping.
