Hikaru glanced at Haruhi across the table from himself. They were at their cottage, but since that night, he'd begun paying closer attention to the weather reports on TV, when it came on that a week-long forecast of thunder storms was heading her way, he had called to see if her Dad was going to be home. He wasn't, he was away with a friend for their birthday.
At that news, Hikaru had invited her over to the summer cottage with himself and Kaoru. The Hitachiin brothers had even sent one of their drivers over to pick her up in the limo. Before she even arrived back, they had decided on a comfort level battle plan. Hikaru would stay with her through the first storm, and Kaoru would take the next and they'd keep alternating until they got through the week. Hikaru liked that arrangement, at least then if a certain... part acted up he'd have a night to fully satisfy it before he was on storm protection again as he and Kaoru had taken to calling it. He couldn't help but inwardly chuckle. Haruhi never changed. She was wearing a pair of denium capris pants, a pink and white stripped tank top, and sandles. Her hair was still pretty short.
He on the other hand felt he was dressed in a bit of a grubby manner, blue jeans a black under shirt, and a red muscle shirt over that. He nearly blinked, 'kind of close to what I wore on our date... actually.'
Haruhi smiled a little, "Why were you smiling just now?"
Hikaru shrugged, "Just thinking about someone."
Haruhi quirked her head to the side, which made her resemble a bird, "Someone? What's going on between you and this 'someone'?"
Hikaru shook his head, "it isn't like that. They're a really great friend. I wouldn't trade that for anything... least I don't think I would."
Haruhi laughed, "You never know. You may wake up one morning and find you've changed your mind."
Hikaru shrugged, "I doubt it."
"But why do you doubt it?" She asked.
"It's a bit complicated Haruhi," Hikaru replied.
"Is it because of your smart mouth?"
Hikaru gained a slightly annoyed look, "That's not it." He replied with some irritation in his voice.
"Really? Going by your tone I'd say it has something to do with it," the brunette young woman replied.
Hikaru glanced at her, 'yeah... maybe part of it. I don't want to insult you, or say something insensitive to offend you but... the biggest thing is the boss. I'm not sure how he'd react.'
He shook his head, "Forget about it. So what do you wanna do here?"
Haruhi shrugged, "I'm not sure. I brought my books so I could study and review what we've learned the last semester."
Hikaru sweat dropped, 'It's summer and she's thinking about school? What a nerd!'
Haruhi laughed a little, then blinked when multiple dark storm clouds rolled in, "uhh..."
Hikaru inwardly sighed, 'She always gets so anxious before a storm.'
"Hey, I'm right here. It's alright," He said.
Haruhi nodded, "Y-yeah."
Hikaru blinked, 'She seems more nervous than the first time I saw her scared last year. Is her phobia getting worse?'
"Hey, why don't we go watch a movie in the home theatre?"
"Are you crazy!" Haruhi asked, leaping from her seat.
Hikaru blinked, taken back by how calm, level headed Haruhi was suddenly almost out of her mind,"H-Haruhi? What's wrong?"
Haruhi's eyes watered, "Didn't you know? Lightning strikes are attracted to electricity and running water. Never use a sink tap, never shower, and never use electronics when you're in a thunder storm."
Hikaru stood from his seat, pulling Haruhi into a hug, "Okay. So what would you rather do?"
Haruhi's eyes watered as the clouds darkened more.
Hikaru gently stroked Haruhi's hair, "Haruhi, you're with me. You're okay."
Haruhi bit her lip when she heard the rain coming down, 'maybe it won't thunder... maybe there won't be any lightning...'
An hour later, Hikaru found himself on his bed, a frightened Haruhi nearly squeezing the life out of him as thunder roared and lightning flashed outside of his room, brightening it as if someone had suddenly flicked on the slight switch.
Hikaru rubbed her back, unsure of what else to do, and held her close. A few dirty thoughts started to enter his mind, he pushed them away as soon as he became aware of them, 'damn it. I guess... no matter what I'm always going to be a bit selfish.'
Haruhi screamed and held Hikaru tighter still.
He blinked a bit, "H-H-Ha-Har-" he gasped breathlessly. She was squeezing him so tightly he literally couldn't breathe.
Haruhi trembled in his arms. He looked around the room before grabbing his earphones off the night table, and turned on the ipod attached to them. He placed them over her ears, and turned the music on, scolding himself as he moved, 'can't believe I forgot about this.'
He looked at the time, 'It's getting late too... I wonder...'
He looked back at Haruhi, 'She's far too scared to fall asleep... and certainly not on her own.'
"If Honey-sempai drops out, Mori-sempai will as well. His competing is more or less conditional to that," Kyoya's voice echoed in Hikaru's head as he thought back to the day before he'd exposed his true feelings towards Haruhi.
"Which means victory will be ours," Kaoru said.
"Well, maybe not. I couldn't help but notice the only room still available only has a single bed. So if you did win you couldn't both stay," Haruhi said.
"No problem, we'll just bring another bed from the summer cottage," Hikaru said.
"Yeah, or we could even squeeze into the single," Kaoru added.
Haruhi smiled, "How sweet. I guess you guys really are always together, huh?"
Kaoru smiled, "Always."
"The two of us have been together since we were born. So we've never really needed anyone else," Hikaru chimed in.
"We never bothered making friends with anyone else til a few years ago. We thought the world was made up of idiots," Kaoru continued.
"Oh really?" Haruhi asked.
"But then..." Hikaru started, he looked over at Haruhi, "that was before we knew you. We'd totally let you sleep with us."
"Uhh, thanks. I'll pass," Haruhi replied.
Haruhi trembled in Hikaru's arms. He held her close, gently rubbing her arms a little, "Haruhi..."
"Hika..." Haruhi replied.
"I-It's getting late an-"
"Don't leave me!" Haruhi exclaimed clutching onto his shirt.
Hikaru nearly blushed, "I wasn't thinking of it. I meant what I said that day... Kaoru and I both. We'd let you sleep with us, if you're scared. You should still try to sleep. It might be easier if there's someone there with you. You can even take Kaoru's side, it's away from the window, so even if it does flash, I'll be there blocking the view."
Haruhi bit her lip, 'sleep in the same bed as a guy? I never once considered it I- well- except... Tamaki but...'
Her eyes teared up as she remembered how he had ran off to Paris with Eclair and how she had desperately tried to talk him out of leaving.
She freed her lip from between her teeth and nodded, "o-o-oka-okay... but..."
Hikaru rolled his eyes, "I'm a guy, yeah. But that doesn't mean I'm a hormone crazed ape. Sometimes guys aren't looking to get into your pants. Sometimes they just want to cuddle with you. Friend or not."
Haruhi blinked, 'when'd he grow up?'
Hikaru pulled his arm from around Haruhi long enough to take off his shirt and under shirt.
She blinked, "What are you doing?"
"Uhh, getting ready for bed? I always sleep in my boxers. Kaoru usually just wears pyjama bottoms. Especially in the summer," Hikaru answered as he took his jeans off, leaving his boxers on.
He thought for a moment before opening a drawer and pulling on a pair of teal pyjama bottoms, "But if it makes you feel better."
Haruhi sighed, "thanks."
Hikaru blushed with a very small smile, both of which he hoped Haruhi didn't notice.
He blinked and looked over at Haruhi before looking through his drawers again and tossing a pyjama shirt to her.
"It'll probably be a bit big on you, but it'll work," Hikaru said.
'I really don't feel like sorting through her bags right now... and I definitely don't want to chance seeing... her intimate clothing,' he thought to himself.
Haruhi nodded, "thanks."
A thunder crack broke through the silence like a hot knife through butter. Haruhi tensed, her muscles quaking from the sudden spasm.
Hikaru rushed back over to her side, holding her close, "I'm here. Tell you what Haruhi... how about I just cover my eyes while you change? That way if you need to be close for whatever reason, you can be, but I won't see anything."
Haruhi nodded, "Okay."
Hikaru closed his eyes and covered them with his free hand.
Haruhi moved a little away from Hikaru before she started to change, electing to leave her bra and panties on.
She had just pulled the pyjama shirt over her second arm, when thunder cracked again.
She instantly latched onto Hikaru, his arm coming around her in a hug.
He nearly blushed when he realised it was just her bra between his chest and hers, 'keep it cool. Keep it cool. Damn it Hikaru do not take advantage of this. Don't. She'd never forgive you.'
A few minutes later, Haruhi was in the teal pyjama shirt, which was large enough to pass for a button down night gown.
Hikaru crawled into his usual spot, leaving Kaoru's usual spot for Haruhi.
"Alright, just turn onto your side, and face the hallway," Hikaru advised.
Haruhi blinked before turning so her back was to Hikaru. Her eyes widened slightly when she felt Hikaru wrap an arm around her, and press into her back upper and middle back slightly.
"Hikaru?"
"Don't get any ideas. I know sense of touch and sense of smell are pretty important to comforting. So I made sure to wear the same cologne I wear in school. I'm also making sure that there's physical contact between us, so if you get scared, I'm right here, and my arms being around you'll help you remember that through the panic you tend to get," Hikaru stated.
Haruhi blinked a bit, 'Hikaru...'
"Good night Haruhi," Hikaru almost yawned.
"Night Hikaru," Haruhi answered as she closed her eyes.
