Hey there everyone! This is my first Ouran fic ever, so I really hope you like it. Just a heads-up, there will be OC's and a lot of romance (because that's just how I am). Before I start, just want to say thank you to my good friend/adopted sister CloudEnvy(insert name I can't spell here) for showing me Ouran High School Host Club, which is probably the best show I've ever seen! This fic takes place immediately after the ending of the anime (NOT THE MANGA) so if you haven't watched it, this probably won't make sense. I hope you guys like it!
Chapter 1
Kyouya couldn't help but smile as he watched his best friend sitting on his bed, a confused look on his face. Tamaki was staring off into space, trying to sort out his feelings. He'd always thought Haruhi was like a daughter to him, but now, after what she'd done... his feelings were changing.
Actually, they'd always been this way but Tamaki was too dense to realize it. Kyouya, along with the rest of the Host Club, knew that Tamaki was head over heels for Haruhi, the commoner who'd managed to effect all of their lives dramatically. Without her, Kyouya didn't know where they'd be.
"That was a very heroic thing you did," he said as he wrote in his clipboard.
Tamaki blinked, coming out of space, and looked over to his friend.
"Jumping off a bridge to save Haruhi," Kyouya explained, "Very romantic."
"Romantic?"
For once, Tamaki's voice was soft. After tonight, he'd been more confused than usual and it had left him tired and weak. Kyouya nodded and continued to write, leaving Tamaki to soak in what he'd just said.
It was true that Tamaki jumped off a bridge to save Haruhi. But that was normal wasn't it? Wouldn't anyone jump off a bridge to help someone they cared about? And though Tamaki wasn't sure what he was feeling, he knew for a fact that he cared deeply about Haruhi.
There was suddenly a knock on the door that caused Tamaki to shoot straight up in the air and Kyouya to look over at the door indifferently.
"Sempai? Are you there?"
Tamaki's face reddened at the sound of Haruhi's voice and a small smile crept on Kyouya's lips. Tamaki jumped off his bed and scrambled around, looking for a place to hide.
"Come in, Haruhi," Kyouya said, earning a glare from Tamaki.
The door opened and Haurhi stepped inside, looking down at the ground. She was still in the white dress from the party, though it was a little damp after having fallen into a river with Tamaki. Kyouya rose from his chair, nodded to Haruhi and left without saying a word. Tamaki, who was leaning against the side of the bed, put his face in his hands. Haruhi quietly walked over and sat beside him.
"I just wanted to thank you," she said, "For coming back... I needed you to stay here with us."
Tamaki looked at her and saw that her face was bright red with embarrasment. What had she done?
"I mean we! We needed you to stay with us! Kyouya, Hunny, Mori, Karou, Hikaru and me!"
"You said I," Tamaki teased, "You needed me to stay here with you."
"That's not what I meant! The Host Club needs you to stay!"
"I think you meant what you said."
Haruhi's face was redder than it had ever been.
"You idiot!" she groaned, "I care about you and you're trying to make me admit it but it's not going to work!"
Tamaki's violet eyes widened as Haruhi slapped her hand over her mouth. Did she just say that she cared about him? He reached out and took her chin in his hand, turning her face towards his.
"I care about you, too, Haruhi," he murmured, "But not the way I thought... not like I'm your father... I don't want you to be kissed by other boys and I don't want you be alone with boys... but that's because I want to be the one to kiss you and be alone with you."
Haruhi's chocolate eyes got bigger than ever and sparkled as she looked at Tamaki.
"That's why the twins get on my nerves so easily," he continued, "They always look at you in this way that just makes me want to punch them in the face... I feel like they're going to steal you away from me..."
Haruhi had never seen this side of Tamaki. So vulnerable, so honest. Just looking at him like this made her realize that she felt the same way about him.
"You're... jealous of them?" she asked.
He closed his eyes tightly, nodding in regret. Haruhi sighed and touched his face gently.
"You shouldn't be," she whispered.
He opened his eyes and found Haruhi leaning closer to him. He caught his breath, but closed his eyes and moved towards her.
That was Tamaki's first real kiss, though he'd never admit it. And it confirmed everything he'd been questioning.
In case you couldn't tell, I absolutely love the match up of Tamaki and Haruhi (I think they're perfect for each other) So there will be a lot of romance between those two. The OC's will come in sometime soon as well, so that should make things more exciting and not so focused on the two lovebirds.
Please review! I've never written anything like this so I could really use some feedback! Thanks!
