A/N: Requested by LucindatheMaid on a LiveJournal drabble post. Prompt: TamaHaru, quiet.

Afternoon

It was a rare moment.

Haruhi sat next to him in the quiet sunshine, watching him sleep and wishing he would stay that way for a while yet. Tamaki was so deafening when he was awake that it was hard to see through the noise to him. It was like a sound barrier he put up to distract people from looking at the real person underneath it.

Haruhi wasn't fooled, but it was still annoying.

She liked him better this way, summer-warm and gently silent.
