Y/n and Haruhi were currently sleeping in the same bedroom that Misuzu gave them as the sun peaked through the gap of the curtains, laying in the bed beside each other, and not realizing the door to the room open.

"Good morning, Miss Fujioka's." Two female voices that almost sounded identical greeted the two sleeping sisters.

Haruhi lightly groaned as she turned to lay on her back, her eye lids shielding her brown eyes while Y/n mumbled incoherent phrases.

The two indistinguishable female maids laced their hands with one another as they leaned towards Y/n and Haruhi. "Time to get ready."

The Fujioka siblings' eyes instantly shot open when they felt their bed comforter being snatched away from them and being forced out of bed.

"Hey! What are you doing?!" Haruhi exclaimed, losing all drowsiness that was in her.

Y/n attempted to move away from the maids but one of them got a hold of her. "Let go of me!"

- - - -

The two sisters advanced downstairs, their shoulders moderately hunched over as they thought back to how they were awoken.

Haruhi was wearing a sky blue dress that reached down to fifteen inches above her ankles, the straps of the dress being a shade of wild-pink. She had two curly, brown hair extensions that were attached to either side of her head, displaying her hair in pigtails as she was accompanied with a small bag. Y/n was clothed in a frill trim ruched bust tie front waffle knit dress that was a dusty-blue color. Her hair was styled in a half up-half down hairstyle with two strands of wavy brown hair resting upon the sides of her face. Her feet were attended with tie leg flat sandals that were a beige color. She had minimalist hoop earrings and she was wearing a small amount of makeup--concealer under her eyes, mascara on her eyelashes, and some lipgloss on her lips.

"Why did they get me involved? I'm not the one who's going on a date." Y/n uttered under her breath.

"I don't know." Haruhi exhaled heavily, directing her eyes to a clock that was hanging on the wall. "Well, I gotta go. See you later."

Y/n sighed and showed a small smile, waving her hand. "Have fun on your date."

With that being said, Haruhi left the pension. Five minutes later, Y/n caught sight of a certain auburn haired twin that wasn't Kaoru.

"Um, I don't want this to sound rude or anything, but where's Kaoru?" Y/n questioned with a raised eyebrow. "He's supposed to go out with Haruhi today."

"Yeah, yeah, I know. He's not feeling well today so he asked me to take over his spot." Hikaru acquainted with his hands behind his head, walking past her. "Anyways, see you later."

"See you...later." Y/n mumbled as she viewed Hikaru exit the pension.

Suddenly, she heard heavy footsteps rush down the stairs.

"Wait, aren't you supposed to be in bed?" Y/n pointed out once she noticed the younger Hitachiin twin, confusion evident on her face. "Hikaru told me you were sick."

"I'll explain later. Come on!" Kaoru vocalized and grabbed Y/n's right wrist.

"Wait, where are we going?!" Y/n raised her voice while Kaoru ran out of the pension, dragging her behind him.

"We're going to check out Hikaru and Haruhi's date!" Kaoru grinned, keeping his hold on Y/n's wrist.

"So we're gonna stalk them all day?"

"Bingo!"

Since the date was taking place at an outdoor market place, it wasn't that far away from the bed and breakfast.

Once they arrived, they snuck into a café that was in front of where Haruhi was waiting patiently--the rest of the Host Club was inside the café as well.

"There you two are! What took you so long?" Tamaki interrogated his two out of breath friends.

"We...ran all...the way from...the pension." Y/n panted out with her hands on her knees.

"Wow, Y/n-Chan! You look great!" Honey beamed once he observed her attire, holding his pink stuffed bunny, Usa-Chan.

The blond haired male blinked before a faint blush appeared on his face. "Aw, she looks like a little doll." He placed his hands on his cheeks.

Y/n quietly groaned to herself and deadpanned. "Yeah, thanks."

After that, they all sat at a table. Y/n looked out the window and saw Hikaru approaching Haruhi, causing her to tap on Kaoru's shoulder and point towards the direction of where Hikaru and her sister were standing.

As Hikaru and Haruhi conversed with one another, Tamaki began to whine. "Haruhi!" He extended his hand out but Kaoru held him back.

"Be careful, boss they'll see us!" The amber eyed male alerted.

Tamaki grabbed Kaoru by the collar of his shirt and began to shake him. "Why did Hikaru and Haruhi end up on a date anyway?! I don't understand! How are yesterday's events even related to this?!"

"You know, this might be Haru-Chan's first date." Honey chimed in, holding his ice cream cone in his hands.

That made Tamaki practically breathe out fire. He pointed at the window as Hikaru and Haruhi walked away. "You're going to pay for that! And look at what she's wearing! It's cute! Super cute!" He cried.

Kaoru sighed. "I can explain." He told Tamaki how Haruhi ended up wearing what she was--as well as Y/n's attire.

'So that's why those maids made Haruhi and I wear these clothes. Kaoru told them to...' Y/n deadpanned.

The Host Club were now standing outside, staring at Haruhi and Hikaru walk away.

Tamaki flailed his arms around as he cried out. "No fair! No fair! No fair!"

"I dunno, boss. It's hard for you to understand but it would be good for Hikaru to find other people he can feel close to." Kaoru said softly, making Tamaki stop whining and look back at him along with the others. "The only people we've ever been able to depend on are ourselves. We didn't care what anyone else thought about us. That's probably how we ended up so self-centered."

"So you're admitting it?" Tamaki slouched his shoulders.

"I guess you could say Hikaru's immature, he lets his emotions take over. See, I'm not sure he's even aware of it." Kaoru described. "But I can tell he cares about Haruhi. He just doesn't know how to react so his emotions run wild. He's selfish and wants all of her attention along with Y/n's."

Y/n replayed what happened yesterday after Haruhi slapped Hikaru, remembering his exact words. '"I thought we were your friends! Are we or aren't we!?" So he was jealous...'

"He wants to be acknowledged by her but doesn't know how to make that happen. If you want true friends, friends who aren't only your toys, you have to learn to respect them. That's the only way you can have a meaningful relationship." Kaoru continued and looked at the others with his index finger up. "And I think it's about time that Hikaru learned that lesson himself."

"Kaoru, that was amazing." Tamaki commented, straightening his posture.

"So in other words, this date is basically a test to see if Hikaru can handle being thoughtful towards others, right?" Kyoya concluded with his hands in his pockets.

Kaoru moved his hands to his hips. "Just promise me you won't interfere with them, okay?"

"Fine but then why are you making us follow them?" Tamaki quizzed with a hand on his head.

Kaoru hid behind a tree as he stared at Haruhi and Hikaru. "Because, there's no reason we should miss out on watching something this interesting."

Y/n sighed. "I think a date should be a private thing."

Kaoru just ignored her and slowly began to follow Haruhi and Hikaru, the Host Club following after him. They hid behind a small market place, looking at the two first years sitting on a bench.

"How can he call himself a Host Club member?! This is the lamest excuse for a date I've ever seen! I should switch with Hikaru! I'll show her a good time!" Tamaki exclaimed in annoyance, struggling to get out of Kaoru's arms.

"That would ruin everything!" Kaoru argued.

"Get out there Kyoya! Act like a punk and pick a fight with Haruhi so Hikaru will have to rescue her!"

"Where do you dream this stuff up?" Kyoya questioned, refusing Tamaki's command.

"Tamaki-Senpai, you need to calm-"

"Ice cream! Ice cream! Does anyone want ice cream?"

Y/n got interrupted by a high pitched, frail voice. She turned her attention towards the voice and witnessed Honey wearing a disguise that resembled an elderly man as he rolled an ice cream cart in front of him.

As the short high schooler was passing by Hikaru and Haruhi, Mori quickly grabbed Honey and dashed away before they could see them, leaving a trail of dust behind him.

As Hikaru began to speak, he noticed that Haruhi was no longer beside him but instead at an ice cream stand ordering an ice cream cone.

As Haruhi purchased the ice cream cone, Hikaru approached her and stood beside her.

Haruhi held the cone out to him with a small smile. "I heard this place is famous for their ice cream. Here. I'll let you have the first taste."

"If it sucks then we're playing a penalty game." Hikaru responded as he leaned in towards the ice cream cone, his hand around the cone that Haruhi was still holding. As he was about to take a bite, a disguised blond haired young man shoved Hikaru away and held another ice cream cone out towards Haruhi.

"What a pretty young lady! Here's another one for you, on the house!"

"Thank you, sir." Haruhi expressed appreciation as she received the ice cream cone. She licked the ice cream and smiled in contentment. "Delicious!"

Hikaru took a bite of the first ice cream cone that Haruhi obtained before she was handed a new one. "You're right. It is pretty good."

Kaoru forcefully pulled Tamaki back into the ice cream stand so they wouldn't get caught by Hikaru and Haruhi. "What do you think you're doing?! It was finally going well, you idiot!" He whisper-shouted as he held Tamaki by the collar of his shirt, shaking him.

Y/n sweat dropped and mentally facepalmed herself. "Idiot." She glanced towards the worker of the ice cream stand and showed him a small bow. "I'm really sorry about all of this."

"It-it's fine." He hesitated while sweat dropping.

Y/n took out her wallet that was in the small bag she brought and drew out some cash. "If it's no trouble, may I please have one of those ice cream cones?"

"Uh, sure..."

The young man prepared Y/n's vanilla ice cream cone and passed it to her as Tamaki and Kaoru pursued their argument.

"Thank you so much." Y/n praised the worker with a smile, giving him the cash as she held the cone in one hand. Her smile faltered as she turned to stare at the blond haired male and the amber eyed first year. "Let's go."

They left the ice cream stand and continued to follow Haruhi and Hikaru, perceiving that they were slowly starting to have a good time as they walked around the different shops and stands.

"We take our eyes off of them for a second and suddenly everything's great!" Kaoru smiled.

"That's true but I get the feeling Haruhi's the one in charge here." Kyoya opined.

"It looks like the ice cream stand helped smooth things over." Honey pointed out gladly.

"I doubt it." Mori stated.

Y/n consumed the last bite of her ice cream cone. 'The ice cream sure helped me out. Having a cold, sweet treat in this warm weather is perfect.'

"We should get going, if we get caught it's gonna ruin everything. And anyway," Kaoru began and directed his amber colored eyes over to a dejected looking Tamaki, "I don't think the boss can handle much more of this."

Tamaki was hiding behind a utility pole, observing Haruhi and Hikaru with tears steadily flowing down his cheeks. "It looks like so much fun. Lucky."

Y/n wholeheartedly felt remorseful towards the blond haired second year. She advanced towards him and placed one of her hands on his shoulder, a signal of comfort. "It's alright, Tamaki-Senpai. Maybe one day you'll go on a date with Haruhi in the future. Who knows?"

Tamaki quickly engulfed Y/n into a suffocating embrace, smiling widely. "Aw! Thank you so much, Y/n! You made daddy feel so much better!"

- - - -

The Host Club was back at the pension waiting for the arrival of two certain first years. It has been some time since they have reached their destination, making it before it started to rain, thunder--and occasionally thunderbolts would appear.

Y/n was seated at a table, her leg bouncing up and down anxiously as she had her elbow on the table, using the palm of her hand to cradle her chin. Once they arrived at the pension, Y/n decided to change out of her dress and into something more comfortable. She was now currently wearing grey joggers and an oversized, black t-shirt that had thin, white sun and moon outlines printed on it.

'Damn it. Where are they?' Y/n wondered as she clicked her tongue, placing her hand down on the table and leaning back against her chair.

Thunder and lightning emitted from the dark, clouded sky.

"Check out that lightning!" Kaoru identified, positioned in front of a window with Honey and Kyoya.

"I sure hope those two didn't get stuck in the rain." Honey anticipated.

"Me too..." Y/n whispered quietly, glancing down at the table with her brown eyes which were filled with worry. She wasn't the only one who was feeling apprehensive; Tamaki was as well.

"Tamaki dear, please try to settle down." Misuzu attempted with concern lacing in his tone, staring at the blond haired male who was pacing around in circles.

"I should go and look for them, huh?" Tamaki reasoned nervously.

Suddenly, the phone to the pension began to ring and Misuzu answered it. Y/n sat up straighter, her shoulders were tense as she waited to see what the call was about.

"Hello? This is Pension Misuzu." The owner of the pension greeted, pausing as the person on the other line spoke to him. "Oh, it's you Arai. What is it?" His eyes slightly widened when the young man informed him about the two first years who weren't in the pension. "What? Haruhi and Hikaru?"

Y/n's body reacted before her mind could--she shot up from her chair and swiftly approached Misuzu.

The middle aged man nodded his head and hummed at every information Arai was sharing with him. "Thank you. Hikaru should have his cell with him so I'll try giving him a call. G'bye now." He hung up the phone and turned his attention towards Y/n. "Evidently Hikaru left Haruhi in front of the produce shop and decided he'd head back on his own."

Y/n's eyes widened as anger gradually pervaded her. "Are you serious?"

Misuzu nodded in confirmation. "Arai said Haruhi took off after Hikaru and that's when it started pouring. He was worried so he called to make sure they made it home okay."

Y/n clenched her fists tightly and dug through the pockets of her joggers, trying to locate her cellphone. "Where is that damn thing?" She hissed through gritted teeth.

Before Y/n could even complete her task, she noticed Tamaki take out his own flip phone and call Hikaru.

Once Hikaru answered the call, Tamaki wasted no time to shout at him. "You idiot! I want you to turn around and start looking for Haruhi, right now! What kind of jerk would leave a girl out in a thunderstorm like this by herself?! Now you listen to me, Haruhi is terrified of thunder! Whenever she hears it, she gets so scared she can't even move! Why don't you spend less time concentrating on your jealousy and worry about someone else for once!" He hung up before Hikaru could even utter a word.

Y/n stared at the blond haired male with widened eyes for a moment before going back to the table she was previously sitting at. All they could do was wait for Haruhi and Hikaru to arrive. Together. Her palms were sweaty and she felt like she was trembling. She just wanted her older sister to come back to the pension safely.

"You seem to be rather uneasy."

Y/n turned her attention to the smooth voice that came from behind her. "Of course I am. My sister is out there during a storm and I can't even do anything about it. I feel bad for not being with Haruhi when right now is the time she mostly needs someone to be with her, but I'm also furious at Hikaru for leaving her alone in the first place. I just wanna punch him in the face when I see him." She narrowed her eyes at the thought of the auburn haired male.

Kyoya just quietly hummed and sat down on the chair that was opposite of Y/n. "Well, you should get some rest. I don't doubt that Hikaru is going to find Haruhi."

"Sorry if this sounds rude, Kyoya-Senpai, but I'm not going to rest until I see Haruhi." She declared, crossing her arms over her chest as she glanced down at the table, then at the window. 'Please be okay, Haruhi...'

- - - -

Y/n quietly groaned as she slowly opened her eyes, her neck and back aching for some odd reason. That's when she realized that her head was laying on her arms that were on the table.

She gingerly picked up her head, slightly hissing once she sat on the chair correctly, moving her hand to massage the back of her neck. The brown haired female observed her surrounding and noticed that the Host Club was still at the pension, some of them sleeping on a couch or at a table.

"Good morning."

Y/n moderately jolted at the small greeting, redirecting her eyes to the person sitting in front of her.

"Oh, good morning, Kyoya-Senpai." Y/n addressed, retrieving her calm expression.

He adjusted his glasses on his face. "How did you sleep?"

"Fine, I guess. How about you?"

Before Kyoya could reply, the bell that was attached to the entrence of the pension chimed, notifying that someone has just entered.

Y/n speedily turned around, hoping that it was the person she was expecting since last night. Standing inside of the pension was a short haired female that had hair extensions attached to her head and an auburn haired male who stood beside her.

The wavy haired individual stood up from where she was seated and rushed towards the brown haired girl. "Haruhi! Oh, thank god." She pulled the said girl into an embrace. "Are you alright? I was so worried about you last night."

The abrupt actions that were currently taking place awakened the other high school students that were downstairs.

Haruhi softly smiled and wrapped her arms around her sister. "I'm okay, Y/n. I'm sorry for worrying you."

"Haru-Chan!" Honey jumped off the couch he was resting on and ran towards her.

"Haruhi!" Kaoru and Tamaki called out to the said female, advancing towards her.

Y/n pulled away from the hug, allowing Honey, Kaoru, and Tamaki to embrace her as Mori and Kyoya approached them. Her brown eyes landed on the eldest Hitachiin twin.
