Haruhi grumbled to herself as she stalked away from the annoying trio. "Damn rich bastards." she muttered. It was the third day of the week long cruise, and her patience was wearing very thin. She was slightly thankful to Kyoya Senpai when he told them that it was late, and if they planned to accomplish whatever tasks they had arranged for the next day, they needed to go to bed.
She sunk into the bath and relaxed into the warm soapy water. She closed her eyes. How she had fallen asleep she didn't know. She did know, however, that she quite liked the dream. Realizing that the water was only lukewarm, she shampooed her hair with her strawberry soap and rinsed. She climbed out of the bath and wrapped herself in a robe. Sighing into the fabric, she let her heart slow it's erratic beating.
Truly the dream had been so realistic. The embrace, the tender kisses, and most of all, the confession. It was the most realistic of all the dreams she'd had so far, and she needed to talk to someone about it. As if someone had read her mind, there came a knock at the door.
She opened it to find Hunny Senpai. She smiled. Just the person I needed to speak with. "Good evening, Hunny Senpai. Please come in." she stepped aside for her older friend.
"Haru Chan, I was wondering if you wanted to join me for my midnight cake." he asked excitedly. "Also, I would like to continue our discussion from earlier this month." his voice was a bit more sullen then it had been a second ago. "Oh! It's a strawberry cake!"
Haruhi smiled at her friend. "Of course, Hunny Senpai." she said, agreeing with him. "I had something I wanted to talk to you about as well."
Ten minutes later found them at the back of the ship, where a table and two chairs sat in the middle of the open area. They settled in and Hunny cut them each a generous slice of the cake.
"About our conversation last time..." Hunny said, beginning.
A Month Prior
"Ah, Hunny Senpai." Haruhi said with a smile, slightly curious about why her friend would seek her out, and with out Mori Senpai.
"Haruhi, can I talk to you?" he asked seriously.
"Of course." Haruhi said. "But where's Mori Senpai?"
"I asked him to watch Usa-Chan for me, back in the club room." Hunny said with a smile. "But it is Taka-chan I wanted to talk about." 'I'm sorry Takashi, I know you wanted to keep it to yourself, but I will do my best cause your my best friend.'
The two sat outside in the garden, drinking tea while chatting.
"Haruhi-chan?" Hunny asked. "What do you think of Takashi?"
Haruhi was shocked at the question. "Mori Senpai? I guess I think he is loyal and strong. He's quiet, but not in a bad way, more of a...intriguing way I suppose. Also he is quite handsome." Haruhi said thinking. "I think he's sweet, in a reserved way. He is helpful and he always saves me from Tamaki Senpai, as well as Kaoru and Hikaru. If someone is in trouble he goes out of his way to help. He is a good friend."
Hunny smiled sadly. "Haruhi I think...I think that Taka-chan likes you."
"I like him too Hunny Senpai. I like all of you here at the host club." Haruhi smiled.
"Haruhi, that's not the kind of 'like' I meant." Hunny said, knowing that in cases like this, the honer student was oblivious.
She looked confused. "I think Takashi loves you." when Haruhi blinked, clueless, he elaborated. "As in he is IN love with you, like in the shojo manga way."
Haruhi blinked again. He couldn't be in love with her, they didn't even spend much time in each others company. Someone else was there at all times. She couldn't believe it. Hunny Senpai had to be wrong.
"Look, Haru-chan, how about this, just keep your eyes, and your mind open for the rest of the month, and just watch Taka-chan. I think you'll figure it out." Hunny said to her. 'She thinks Taka-chan is handsome...that's something, isn't it?'
Haruhi had left the meeting feeling more aware of her surroundings. She wasn't watching where she was going and tripped. She fell on her side with a grunt.
She pushed herself into a sitting position. She was about to stand when she saw a hand held out in front of her. 'Mori-Senpai...' she thought with a blush as she accepted his help.
She took his hand, his heart beat heavier as he felt her warm hand in his. So petite, so tiny...he gently pulled her to her feet. He showed no emotion, save for the beating of his frantic heart. He realized that he still had a hold of her hand. He let go reluctantly. He nodded his head as he ruffled her hair. He allowed a faint brush of a smile cross his face. He turned and walked down the stairs, carrying Usa-Chan to Hunny.
Back On The Cruise
Takashi awoke to an empty room. He glanced around slowly, taking everything in. Mitsukuni usually woke him when he had his midnight cakes. He must have forgot. He stood, and dressed silently before slipping out of the room. He walked calmly towards the back of the yacht. He was almost there when he heard Mitsukuni speaking. It was not to his bunny though, as he heard a pleasant voice reply to him.
His eyes flashed with hurt, as it felt like his heart was being crushed.
'Mitsukuni must have feelings for Haruhi... ' he thought to himself. 'If he asked her to join him for midnight cake. He must not know, although, how could he. I never said anything to him.' he leaned against the wall, he would just listen to her voice. That would have to be enough.
He was snapped out of his trance when he heard his friend.
"So, Haru-chan, what do you think of him now?"
What? Who was Mitsukuni talking about? He said 'him' so he couldn't be talking about himself. Even though he couldn't see her face, he listened intently to her next words as he pressed a hand to his chest. As if the pain was too much to bear.
"Well, there have been...certain moments, certain dreams..." she began. "The day you all told me of this trip for instance."
"I was coming back from the library..."
He snapped to attention and held his breath.
"Mori Senpai...he caught me when I fell." Haruhi told him. "He...didn't let me go for a while. There was also the time he helped me up...he held my hand like it was the most precious thing in the world. He patted my head and as he was walking away, I think I saw him smile." Haruhi was turning a bit red.
"And the dreams?" Hunny asked, his voice was steady.
At this Haruhi blushed a bright red. "I have them almost constantly now, whenever I sleep. This evening, I fell asleep in the bath..."
Takashi's face flushed deeply. He shouldn't be listening. What she and Mitsukuni were discussing, it was personal. But even despite knowing that he wasn't meant to hear it, he could not force himself to leave. Now that he knew that the talk was about him, he needed to know.
"I dreamed that he and I were in the middle of the woods, in a field. There was a blanket laid out, and a basket. We were sitting side by side on the edge of the blanket. He turned toward me, with the softest smile I could ever imagine. He reached out brushed my cheek. The touch was so soft, that it felt as if a feather had brushed against me. He looked deep into my eyes, and leaned forward." Haruhi's face was so red now, she was thankful for the dark of the night.
"His lips were so close to mine, that I could just make out a slight minty smell. He stopped moving. I knew he was waiting for me to make the move. I kissed him." Haruhi said, her voice trembling.
Takashi held his heart with a shaking hand. It was beating so loudly he was sure that she would realize he was there.
The wind was picking up, and he knew that as soon as their conversation was over, Mitsukuni would take Haruhi back inside to ward off the rain that would be there soon. He braced himself against the wall once more.
Hunny was smiling sweetly and asked, "Do you love him, Haru-chan?"
Takashi listened intently, his eyes full of hope, daring to believe that she felt the same way towards him, as he did for her.
"I think Iieeeeeeeeaaaaaahhhhhhhh!" she screamed in fear as a rumble of thunder rolled across the sky. The clouds opened up and it began to pour. She couldn't move, she was so frightened. Tears fell from her eyes as another clap of thunder sounded directly overhead. Her whole body was shaking.
"Haruhi-chan!" Hunny gasped. "What should I do?"
"Hunny Senpai..." she looked at him in fear. "Ah! Hunny Senpai watch out!"
"Huh?" he turned and saw a huge wave as it crashed onto the deck of the yacht.
"Hunny Senpai!" she yelled as he was swept over the edge of the boat.
Takashi heard her scream and lunged forward, just in time to see her running at the edge of the boat, flinching as another flash of lightning crossed the sky. She pushed off the railing and flew towards Mitsukuni.
"Haru-chan!"
"Hunny Senpai!"
Half way to the water, she grasped his hand. Using her momentum she swung him back towards the yacht. He rose higher as she fell further, he hit the deck, and she hit the icy water below her.
The others had heard the first thunder clap and rushed to comfort Haruhi. When they got there just in time to see Hunny skid across the deck.
"Hunny Senpai!" called Kaoru and Hikaru.
"Where's Haruhi!" Tamaki panicked. He looked at Hunny and asked the question again.
"She jumped over the railing to save me...oh Haru-chan!" Hunny cried.
Tamaki went to take off his shirt when Takashi ran at the railing calling behind him, "Take care of Mitsukuni!" he lifted a long leg and using the railing, dove over the side, and after Haruhi.
