HELLO STORY I HEARTLESSLY ABANDONED I feel like I owe it to a couple of the readers who have messaged me to finish off this story, It'll probably be a couple more chapters then I wanna start fresh, I have worked on this dang story for ages and I think that's the reason why I have trouble continuing with it, but I love Chiyaki way way way too much to just drop her! so lets get on with this thang!

So there I stood, in the middle of a changing room, half dressed, with a glittery dress stuck around my head

I. can't. breeeeeeaaaaaathe!

I tried my best not to panic, I thought of all the people who I could possibly get to help me, Kyoya? no. Tamaki? noo. The twins? only in hell.

I had told them that the dress looked too small for me. It was a delicate, lilac chiffon dress with the tiniest pearls scattered across the material, it was a true princess dress.

I tried to explain to them that I had plenty of other dresses at home that I could choose from, but we had walked past the dress shop and Tamaki got excited. "Nakamura, you absolutely MUST try that dress on!" he announced, waggling his index finger at the dress, I groaned and walked on "Come on Suoh, we were at the tux place for centuries, I just wanna go home now and sleep forever" I grumbled, the last thing I wanted to do was dress up and parade around for the boys, besides, I wasn't exactly comfortable with my body.

And that was what kept me from asking for their help, if any of them came in and saw my granny pants I would have a straight up heart attack and die. I needed to fix the problem fast because I had no doubt in my mind that they'd come in if I took too long. So I wiggled about, similar to a worm, trying to get the dress off of me, the chiffon material was not the softest in the world, and the tiny pearls scraped across my skin and caught in my hair, I tried to keep quiet as I carried on through the pain.

I hate shopping so goddamn much.

it was then, from outside I heard Tamaki announce

"Haruhi! you look so cute! like a little doll!"

That's a weird thing to say about a girl, then again, it is Tamaki, he's a weird guy.

In one quick, swift movement, I whipped the dress off my head, ignoring that strands of my red hair were caught in the zipper and quickly dressed back into my normal clothes, I opened the curtain of the changing room slightly and peeked out.

I just about died.

because there, right before my eyes,

Haruhi was wearing a dress.

"Guys! stop messing around!" I said sternly "stop making Haruhi crossdress!"

they turned to look at me, confused, other than the twins who burst out in hysterics.

"Chiyaki you moron!" Hikaru spluttered, he was holding onto his stomach as he cackled, "Haruhi's been cross dressing all along!"

wait. what. what. hang on.

"Are you telling me Haruhi is a cross dresser?" I inquired, I stole a glance at him, er, her, him? her? I have no idea but Haruhi looked pretty shocked. "I'm a girl, Chi" Haruhi said to me, looking genuinely worried, I think it's because I was dumb enough to think she was a dude.

"Wow! we thought Tamaki was thick! how could you not know!" Kaoru giggled (yes, giggled, damn his cuteness) i could feel my face starting to match my hair, I was hot all over and I couldn't believe how stupid I had been! "I am so sorry Haruhi! I should've known" i apologise, but she put her hands up and let out a lovely, genuine laugh "It's cool Chi, it doesn't matter if i'm a guy or a girl, we're still friends!" she said with a kind smile, and at that moment, I just felt so happy

I have a genuine female friend who isn't crazy or weird, she's lovely and awesome!

I laughed, "if only I knew you were a girl like five minutes ago! I was stuck in my dress and I couldn't call anyone to help me!" I said, showing them the dress with my hairs stuck in it, which got me another laugh, but I think this time it was with me rather than at me.

"well, I best tell the dressmaker about the amount of hair stuck in the zipper" Kyoya said, taking the dress from me and walking into the main room of the shop, Mori and Honey trailed behind him. I giggled, imagining the look on the poor womans face when she saw the state of the dress, but i also felt pretty bad.

still, it wasn't exactly my fault, that dress was obviously the right size for a ten year old.

I glanced over at Haruhi, my female friend, a girl I could probably tell everything to, I could pour my heart out to her and she could help me, maybe. possibly. perhaps. She knew about Ian, maybe she has advice? I cautiously walked to her and tugged her arm, "Haruhi, can I talk to you outside? it's sort of important"

Haruhi nodded, and as we walked out of the room I saw Kaoru out of the corner of my eye, his big catlike eyes burning into me, it was an intense gaze, what does he think I want to talk with Haruhi about? is he mad because I don't want to have private conversations with him? well, tough. I need to speak with Haruhi and Kaoru would only get the wrong idea.

We stepped outside the shop, we both managed to avoid the dressmakers glare. I turned to face Haruhi, and I thought How could I not have known she was a girl? she's gorgeous, she has such a feminine face, how did I not guess? idiot!

"When I mentioned Ian to you in the tux shop, I just, felt this wave hit me, like a metaphorical wave" I said

"I would hope it wasn't an actual wave" Haruhi joked

"shut up Haruhi I'm trying to unleash my emotions"

"ok sorry, no joke time"

"Anyway" I began again. "Ian was my first love, and things ended so... sadly between us. and I can't move forward with someone else witho-"

"wait!" Haruhi interrupted, her eyes glinted and she gave me a look, an I know where this is going kind of look "You found somebody, didn't you?"

"well..."

"Do you want to tell me who it is?"

"no!" I protested, there was no way I could tell haruhi about the fact that maybe, just maybe I wanted to kiss Kaoru again, I wanted to be with him all the time, I wanted to meet his parents and hang out with him on the weekends, just him and me, I couldn't tell her that. "you don't have to tell me" she shrugged, "so, I'm guessing you want closure from Ian?"

"Exactly."

"So, how will you do that?" she asked curiously, she knows where I'm going with this

I sighed heavily, "I want to talk to Ian, I want to invite him to the party. I have to see him again."

That, as you say, is that chapter finito! this chapter was a nice, cute one to write, because I really wanted Chiyaki to have someone to truly confide in, and I reckon Haruhi is a pretty loyal friend. Anyhoo, I have to go update my fanfiction profile because its decades old! byeeee
