First Ouran fic, (as well as the rare 'normal' coupling) hope you enjoy~

It was just another commotion filled day when Tamaki decided on something that he hadn't really put much thought into. He was going to confess to Haruhi. It wasn't like they were getting any younger and besides that he had seen some of her neighbors looking her over. Tamaki sighed. How in the world was he going to confess to a girl, when he had never done it before? Tamaki was the confesser, not the confessee.. but he just couldn't wait for Haruhi to confess her undying love for him. (She'd probably eat ootoro before that happened-see AN at the end for why this is so funny to me) Tamaki settled down into the couch, watching the twin's play keep away with Haruhi's cell phone. He would have stepped in on a normal day, but with what was currently on his mind... no it would just be too awkward for him. He got up and walked over to the ever typing Kyouya and squatted on the floor besides him.

"Ne, Ka-san.. how do you confess to a girl?" He expected Kyouya to at least look at him as if he were saying something odd but he never failed to suprise Tamaki. "So you're finally confessing to Haruhi ,otoo-san?" Tamaki looked at him with shocked eyes and then calmed down enough to nod. "Well, you could always write a letter.. Or pull her aside and simply tell her.." Tamaki stared at the ground moodily. Some help Kyouya had been. Tamaki got up again but this time he left the Host Club completely. At times like these when he was really sinking into his depressed mood, he questioned why he hadn't just gone along with the arranged marriage..

He shook his head. He would have been miserable... but he was miserable now... "No.. you came back because even then you knew that you loved Haruhi!" He yelled this out into the quiet hall and was happy that no one had heard him. That is, until he heard books clatter to the floor. Tamaki turned around, eyes wide, only to see a stunned Haruhi. She stared at him with clear brown orbs. Damn it! Why didn't he think before he had his moments! "S-Senpai..." He barely heard the whisper, and if he hadn't seen her mouth move, he would have thought that he was merely asleep on the Host Club's table. He wasn't dreaming and to make matter worse Haruhi wasn't taking the news so well.

Tamaki's instincts took over and he broke out into a run down the hall. He didn't care about the looks he was getting, nor the concerned questions directed at him. He just needed to get out of there.

Two hours later...

Tamaki lay on his bed, wishing that he had waited for her response. Why did he choose that moment to show her his inner coward. After all that time he had spent putting up a facade that showed him as gallant, kind... no! He was lying to himself. That wasn't a facade! His inner self shouted at him to stop lying to himself; that wasn't going to change Haruhi's answer in the least.

"Tamaki-sama, you have a visitor," Who was going to visit him this late? Probably just the annoying twins come to laugh at him... "Come in.." He cringed at the sound of his hoarse voice. He heard someone being ushered in and then he heard Shima tell him that by nine his visitor had to leave... but that only happened when it was a.... He sat up and stared at his visitor."H-H-Haruhi.." Haruhi attempted a smile and then tentavely sat on the edge of his bed. "Senpai...About earlier.." She turned bright pink and then swallowed. "Can I have some time to think about it?" Tamaki was dumbstruck for a few seconds and then the words made sense. She was going to think it over.."Of course! I mean I wasn't planning for you to find out that way anyways.." He smiled and nodded. Haruhi beamed at him and then reached over to her bag.

"The twins told me to bring you this... that they were going to bring it, but they didn't want to interrupt anything.." She handed him a blue colored box that had a black ribbon tied around it. Tamaki sweatdropped. Knowing the twins, it was probably something embarrassing... but he didn't want Haruhi to leave.. She also seemed curious... Tamaki tentavely pulled on the ribbon, ready for explosions. However the lid stayed on; he pulled that off too. Inside was a small note besides a green velvet bag. He picked up the small piece of paper and read it.

"Use them wisely.." He opened up the bag and turned tomato red. Inside the bag were gold painted handcuffs. And what exactly did they think he and Haruhi would be doing? "Those idiots!" He threw the box into the corner and turned to a stunned Haruhi. "Umm.. I have to go.. Senpai!" No! She thought he was in on it!? "Haruhi!" She ran out of the room and down the stairs, Tamaki following closely. She couldn't believe that! She turned a corner and Tamaki tripped over a monkey shaped statue as she dissapeared into the night.

The next day...

"So Haruhi, did you and Tamaki 'enjoy' the present we sent with you?" Haruhi looked up at the stupid twins and glared at them. Had Tamaki planned it out with those two? It was a possibility, but she hadn't planned sticking around to see if he had ... "Go away... I'm thinking!" With that Haruhi put her head on her desk and was glad for the darkness. She lifted up her head to look at the twins. Hikaru looked rather smug; it wasn't as if he didn't make it obvious that he liked Haruhi, but she wasn't going to tempt that beast. Had they foreseen this outcome? Was it actually no more than a ploy to ensure that she wouldn't fall for Tamaki? So that she would hate him? No... Haruhi sighed. She couldn't even lie convincingly to herself. But somehow it made sense. Haruhi shook her head, as if to try and clear her thoughts and was glad for the distraction as their teacher came in.

Tamaki couldn't concentrate on his English assignment. Every time he blinked, he saw Haruhi running away, Haruhi's stunned look, Haruhi... "Suoh, can you please translate this sentence on the board?" Tamaki stood up and read, "Though the problem seemed large,Mr. Reed found with a little thought and compassion, it was easily solved," The class applauded as Tamaki took his seat and then it hit him.. Maybe that sentence was key to what he was facing right now...

At the Host Club....

"Haruhi! Your'e late!" Ugh.. they caught her! "Gomen Senpai..." Usually she would have pointed out that she was here before Tamaki, but at that moment she was actually glad that neither perverted twins, nor idiot king was there. She sat down on the couch and tilted her head back. Why couldn't she have just been a normal transfer student, who was recognized as a girl by people who weren't in the host club? "Haru-chan! Haru-chan! Mite, mite!" Haruhi turned to look out the window to where Honey-senpai was pointing...

"What is that idiot doing?!" Tamaki was in the belly of a helicopter, getting ready to jump. "No!" Haruhi jumped out of her seat and ran towards the place where she saw him getting ready to jump. She drew odd looks, but she didn't care. She may have been mad (well she still was..) but that was no reason to commit suicide! Finally she reached the land below the helicopter, and she drew in a long breath. "Idiot! Why are you going to jump?" He just kept looking ahead, he couldn't hear her. Then she spotted the ladder. Haruhi pulled it to her and began to climb up; She had to hurry! After what seemed like hours (but was really only about five minutes), she reached the belly of the helicopter. "Haruhi?!"

"Senpai! Please don't jump! Think of your family! What would they think?" Tamaki sent her a puzzled look and then said, "I think they've seen me do odder things..." Haruhi shook her head. "No matter how depressed you are, this is never the answer!" Understanding dawned on Tamaki's face and he chuckled softly before walking over to her. "You thought I was going to commit suicide? I don't think I would rest in peace.. I still haven't gotten my answer you know... Besides I have a parachute.. It was just what it said.. it need to be stretched out with air so you could see it properly.. but look," He unfolded the parachute and what she saw made her speechless. "It wasn't my fault, please go out with me Haruhi!"

Her awe slowly turned into chagrin. "Ano.. Senpai.. You realize that other people would have seen this right?" He nodded and then Haruhi sighed. "How do you think that would affect the Host Club? Neither one of us could stay Hosts if its made public that we're going out...." Tamaki looked as clueless as ever and then he nodded in agreement. "I'd hate to look at Kyouya if he lost his two top Hosts.. We wouldn't live.." Then he suddenly chuckled. "Oh well I guess that sentence in English was true... just not in the way I thought..." He grabbed Haruhi close to him and then seemed to remember the night before..

"Ne, Haruhi?" She looked up at him and he continued. "Did you really think that I was in on it? The handcuffs I mean..." Haruhi pondered this for a while, "I don't think Senpai is that kind of guy... And by that suprised look, it seemed as thought you didn't know that they would be in there... So no.. I don't think you were in on it.." He let go of her and then his eyes teared up in happiness. "Haruhi!" He hugged her close to him and then her shriek and they tumbled into a gray metal wall. That seemed to remind him that they were in fact in the a helicopter, seventy feet off the ground. "Umm.. Ojii-san can you please take us down now.. it seems as though I won't be jumping after all.." The helicopter driver nodded and then dove towards the ground. Once they were back on the ground Tamaki beamed at Haruhi. It didn't matter if he got his answer that same day, or next year. Just knowing that some part of her cared for him was enough. It was enough to last him all through high school if need be.

"Tamaki-senpai... Would you like to hear your answer?" Tamaki turned to her and she made sure no one was around before she lifted her arms to twine around his neck and their lips connected. The kiss started out innocent enough but it sooned turned into a heated kiss. As they broke apart, Tamaki could see her eyes were closed and then he kissed her forehead. "I love you Haruhi.." She opened her eyes and then smiled. "I love you too Senpai," They embraced once more, unaware of the fact that their exchange had been watched by most of the Host Club and the moe loving customers.. So much for keeping it a secret...

AN: I put that in there because no matter how much happens, it seems as though Haruhi will never get her otooro... lol ;L lol well its funny to me.. XD

Well hope you liked it.. idk whether or not to actually make it a series..? REVIEW!!!
