Chapter 1: Love lasts for a lifetime

Set 4 years after Haruhi graduated from Ouran…

It has been a tiring day for Haruhi today. She has been running around all day to hand up her assignments to her professors. She was relieved that she had somehow managed to meet the dateline with the twins constantly "kidnapping" her out for dates. University life is tough, but its even tougher with Kaoru and Hikaru meddling with my daily routines. Sigh… Kaoru and Hikaru are the worlds most troublesome duo. Would they ever grow up? But their immaturity makes them so irresistible…

The both of them had been proposing to her ever since they left Ouran. Accepting the proposal was something impossible for Haruhi no matter how irresistible they are. She doesn't want to be involved in a relationship until she has found a stable job (that would be being a lawyer… haha) to support her father and herself. Being in a relationship would just slow her down.

"H-Haruhi! You would die of diabetes at a young age if you continue adding sugar cubes into your coffee" Kaoru said making her realise that she had been daydreaming again. The three of them were dining at a commoners café nearby her rented apartment. "Here, have mine" Hikaru quickly exchanged her cup with his, before taking a sip of her coffee.

"Hikaru! Haven't you hear what your brother said just now? You would die of diabetes at a young age" repeating Kaoru's sentence. "How could you even swallow something so sweet?"

Smirking, Hikaru replied, "Haru dear, I bet nothing tastes sweeter than your lips. Not even this coffee"

"You are such a pervert" as she proceeded to eating her dinner.

After finisheng their dinner, Kaoru offered to walk Haruhi home. Hikaru had to leave for a course mate's house to finish up their assignments. For this one time, Kaoru and Hikaru were not doing something together. They had decided to be more independent of themselves and not to stick to each other as if someone had glued them together with super stronghold glue. Haruhi was not surprised when they told her their decision. She knew that someday, they would grow up as two unique individuals, so much different but yet so much similar.

The 5 minutes walk home seemed somewhat longer than usual today. The both of them were walking with a comfortable silence between them. Haruhi found herself staring at the striking young man a number of times as they walked. He looks so beautiful under the rays of the evening sun. The rays were dancing happily in his cat-like eyes. I just love looking at those eyes when they are up to something mischievous as if they were inviting me to join them in their forbidden games. It just takes one look from those eyes to put me under their daze. Very unlike Tamaki-senpai's puppy eyes. Haha. I wish this walk would never end… Haruhi sighed.

Kaoru didn't want to break the silence between them. Secretly, he wishd this walk to continue on a never ending too. Haruhi looks so mesmerising when she is thinking deeply. Why do you have to ignore my feelings for you? I fall deeper and deeper in the hands of love everyday whenever I think of you.

Haruhi and Kaoru quickly snapped out of their thoughts as they reached the doorstep of Haruhi's apartment. It is a small but cosy place with polished wood flooring. They were both saddened to find out that the walk has ended.

"Ah, we are here" Kaoru said, trying his very best to hide the disappointment in his voice.

"Kaoru…"

"Hmm?" He took a step closer to her. They were facing each.

"Thank you for walking me home" Haruhi gave the sweetest smile she could give to Kaoru. She was very much aware of their proximity. Her eyes were meeting his. She could see that his eyes were filled with passion and sorrow. Kaoru could feel Haruhi's soft breath on his lips. He wanted so badly for Haruhi to accept him into his life and this awkward moment won't do him any good. He feels like he is falling in love with her all over again.

"You're very much welcome, Haruhi. Well, I must get going!" Kaoru finally said while turning around to go his way. Am I doing the right thing?

Haruhi didn't wait for him to walk away before unlocking her door. As she was about to turn the doorknob, she felt a pair of hands turning around her softly. One of the hands left go of her shoulder before caressing her chin instantly. The other hand is now placed firmly on her waist. She realised that the stalker was Kaoru.

"Kao--" Before she could utter another word, Haruhi felt a pair of moist and soft lips meeting hers for a hungry kiss. A feeling of weightlessness engulfed Haruhi. Heaven must feel like this. Maybe this is better than heaven!

Kaoru felt a little bold that moment and started to suck at Haruhi's lower lip, earning a soft gasp from her. He started trailing soft kisses down her chin to her neck.

"Mmmm… you know what? Hikaru was right after all, you're the sweetest thing that I've ever tasted. Soft and sweet, just as I like it to be" whispering into Haruhi's ear.

Haruhi was at a loss of words. The kiss she shared with Kaoru had left her gasping for air. Her lungs felt like it had collapsed. All she could do was to smile and gave Kaoru a chaste kiss on his lips.

"Good night Haruhi" This is a night to remember. I can just stop eating my food with maple syrup now! chuckles Kaoru felt like walking home that night and he did!

Haruhi had finally managed to enter her apartment.

"Ahhh… Home sweet home" she said while turning on her laptop. Haruhi touched her slightly swollen lips, thinking of the kiss. Why are you still waiting for me after all these years, Kaoru?

A message box popped up when she logged into Talk messenger (I made that up! runs). It seemed to her that it was a request to be added to her list. Haruhi wasn't keen on adding someone she doesn't know. She had almost denied the invitation when she saw a familiar looking email address: "This must be a lame joke" she thought.

To be continued…

Who do you want Haruhi to pair up with? Hikaru, Kaoru or Kyouya?
