⸻ ❝ okay , open your eyes ! ❞ they are quite proud ( & equally as anxious ) to present their valentine with a platter of four crepes -- two each to share . hands clasp before them , fingers toyed with , & haruhi beams . ❝ i've never made anything like this before and this batch came out the least burnt , so i hope they're alright ! i tried a savory and a sweet recipe -- i think they came out pretty good . ❞

seat's taken beside tamaki , honeyed hues saccharine as his hand's taken between two smaller ones . ❝ you deserve a taste of home once in awhile . oh ! speaking of which . . . ❞ here , round cheeks redden & short locks are tucked behind an ear -- something they've made a nervous habit of . ❝ i'm . . . i'm trying to learn french , but i'm not very good yet . . . ❞

❛ there it is, there’s that smile! ❜ :D

𝒔𝒐𝒇𝒕 & 𝒔𝒘𝒆𝒆𝒕 .

⸻ eventually , they can’t swallow bubbles of laughter anymore — damped , but sparks of light nonetheless . smile is frail , & chocolate hues are glassy when locking with those of violet . they sniff , hastily rid round cheeks of tears & lean against tamaki’s shoulder , fingers curling ‘round his forearm . ❝ it’s easy to smile around you . ❞ haruhi mumbles , staring at their feet to hide oncoming red cheeks . bad days are few & far between , but he’s always remained a constant — a shimmering light at the end of the tunnel .

slowly , their touch finds spaces between long fingers & fills the gaps perfectly . haruhi’s places their cheek on tamaki’s shoulder , smile warm . ❝ you make me happy . simple as that . ❞

@tamakng​ : don’t look now! he’s just going to dip his head down and steal a quick kiss! come on, one can’t be too mad, with that smitten grin on his face … right?

another  day  has  come  and  gone  at  the  host  club  ,  and  haruhi  busies  themselves  with  collecting  the  emptied  teacups  and  used  silverware  left  behind  by  their guests  in  an  otherwise  ABANDONED  music  room  three  .  after  having  arrived  late  to  the  host  club  for  the  second  day  in  a  row  (  it  seems  that  they  keep  underestimating  the  time  it  takes  to  walk  from  the  LIBRARY  to  the  music  building  ...  )  ,  haruhi  had  volunteered  to  STAY  BEHIND  and  clean  up  the  day’s  mess  ––––  a  task  that  was  normally  shared  amongst  the  seven  hosts  .  the  underclassman  is  accompanied  only  by  TAMAKI  ,  who  had  insisted  upon  joining  even  despite  haruhi’s  adamant  objection  .

❝    i  could  do  without  your  help  ,  y’know  .    ❞  in  truth  ,  tamaki’s  presence  had  brought  more  harm  than  good  ––––  already  haruhi  has  narrowly  avoided  COLLISION  with  the  blonde  whilst  carrying  a  tray  of  teaware  on  account  of  tamaki  losing  himself  in  another  one  of  his  senseless  daydreams  (  the  last  thing  haruhi  needs  is  to  add  to  their  ever - growing  DEBT  to  the  host  club  ...  )  .  their  resistance  comes  from  a  deep - rooted  sense  of  PRIDE  ,  an  inclination  towards  self - reliance  fostered  by  a  lonesome  and  near  parentless  childhood  .  to  do  something   right  ,  one  must  do  it  THEMSELVES  .

❝    tamaki  ,  are  you  even  listening  to  me  ...  ?    ❞  as  haruhi  makes  to  clear  off  another  table  ,  their  path  is  suddenly  ECLIPSED  by  the  other  host  .  lips  parts  as  words  of  protest  begin  to  form  ––––  but  words  never  come  ,  stolen  instead  by  a  tender  KISS  .  the  warmth  against  haruhi’s  lips  is  short - lived  ,  but  the  scent  of  fresh  linens  &  coffee  beans  ,  dried  lavender  &  expensive  cologne  lingers  long  after  tamaki  has  pulled  away  .  

honey - colored  gaze  rises  to  meet  those  amethyst  hues  ,  their  own  irises  growing  ever  WIDER  the  longer  they  stare  .  haruhi  is  taken  aback  by  the  fondness  they  find  there  ,  the  adoration  that  softens  princely  features  with  loving  grace  .  composure  CRUMBLES  ––––  porcelain  skin  darkens  with  rosy  hues  as  a  pinkish  blush  rises  to  the  apples  of  haruhi’s  cheeks  .  their  hands  move  to  plant  a  playful  yet  FIRM  shove  to  the  blonde’s  side  ––––  a  half - hearted  attempt  at  hiding  both  their  flushed  visage  and  the  ghost  of  a  SMILE  that  toys  at  velvet  lips  .  haruhi  HUFFS  .

❝    ...  fine   .  i  guess  you  can  stay  .    ❞

‘  this  can’t  be  right  .  .  .  ‘  when  kyoya  had  suggested  to  haruhi  that  they  begin  studying  FRENCH  ,  they  hadn’t  thought  much  of  it  ––––  after  all  ,  they  were  the  only  host  that  didn’t  speak  the  language  in  at  least  some  capacity  (  even  honey  could  hold  his  own  in  CONVERSATION  )  .  though  ,  it’s  not  like  haruhi  had  a  choice  in  the  matter  to  begin  with  ,  as  kyoya  ,  in  typical  SHADOW  KING  fashion  ,  had  already  arranged  for  the  honor  student  to  start  meeting  with  a  TUTOR  outside  of  host  club  hours  .  arriving  a  few  minutes  late  (  as  usual  )  ,  haruhi  stumbled  through  the  doors  of  the  library  with  a  variety  of  textbooks  tucked  beneath  their  arm  ––––  but  the  familiar  face  that  all  too  eagerly  greets  their  graceless  entrance  is  the  last  person  that  haruhi  had  expected  to  see  .

‘  tamaki  .  .  .  ?  what  are you  .  .  .  ‘  words  trail  off  as  doe - like  eyes  rise  to  settle  upon  the  platinum - haired  host  .  an  embarrassed  flush  creeps  into  the  apples  of  haruhi’s  cheeks  ,  dusting  porcelain  features  with  peachy  pink  as  haruhi  shakes  their  head  .  ‘  is  this  a  PRANK  ?  if  hikaru  &  kaoru  put  you  up  to  this  ,  it’s  not  funny  ,  senpai  .  ‘

“happy birthday, kaoru!” bright is tamaki’s grin as he presents them with a comically large, delicately wrapped box all tied together with a red and albeit ostentatious ribbon. well, well, well, what could it be? why, a hat commissioned from one of the suoh family’s favorite hatter, based on sketches he had spied the other sketching on more than one instance in the corners of notes and on occasion, in doodles on their twin’s hands! of course, there was some creative license had to be taken from sketch to finished product. its color based on the permanent marker color most often used for the sketches, and in the hat’s inner lip, in golden cursive lettering, the signature of one kaoru hitachiin is neatly stitched.

       Their eyes never left the sketchpad in front of them and the pencil gripped so tightly never stopped moving. Were they being a tad bit rude? Definitely. But their mind had a certain idea and it was crucial to stay focused until the basic sketch was complete. About five minutes passed before the younger student finally looked up, immediately noticing the large box instead of their friend. Head tilted to the side as they examined the present sitting in front of them. “ Thanks Milord. You always have to go big or go home, huh? ” Tucking the pencil behind their ear, they finally stood from their chair and carefully pushed it back to get enough room. They were incredibly tempted to pick up the gift and shake it but figured that would be dumb. So, instead they rested their hands on the box for a few seconds before pulling the ribbon, and finally opening up the present.

       A gasp. The item inside left them speechless. Careful hands entered the box and picked up the hat that they had been working on for about a week. It never felt complete so they decided to leave it as is, not caring to turn a drawing into a reality. Now, they wouldn’t have to worry about that. From the looks of it, Tamaki or a designer had perfected the look. Not only that... Their signature also decorated the piece. A reminder that one day... That would be their career. A fashion designer. The mere thought of it gave them goosebumps. “ Tamaki, this is- I mean, you did this for me? I love it. ” Their attention was on the club president, for the first time since he arrived, “ Thank you so much. Thank you! ” As they held the hat longer, they began to excitedly bounce in place, “ I have to show Hikaru and Haruhi! Wait right here! I’ll be back! ” And with that, they were off... But before exiting the room, they ran back to give their friend a quick hug from behind.

Okay, now he’s annoyed.

“Hitachiin. I believe I said no. Suoh-Senpai. You’re older than us. Please act like it.”
