[And early on the 14th--]

Suoh Tamaki has returned home again. Maybe he'll be lucky and find a way to keep himself from being sucked back in again.

[Filtered to the Host Club]

Do you mind if we skip the club meeting, just this month? I'm a little tired from all of the Valentines Day things the castle forced on us.

[Kallen]

Do you want to see a movie with me?

Haruhi; FUCKING BAWWW

[ardor]

Haruhi, I-- [Pause.]

Definitely. When?

LMAO

[hostess]

The theater plays on Fridays, right?

FILTER FOREVER

[ardor]

It does. [Another pause.] My room's open whenever. We don't need the dumb theater anyway.

[save_the_souls]

He's-

Ah...I'm so sorry to hear that.

[hostess]

I'll make sure you still get paid for the meeting.

Haruhi

[gunslinger]

[ Um wow. Wow. Jr. is feeling all sorts of mixed emotions right now. Guilt for avoiding getting to know Tamaki again, wonder at the castle timing, and of course rage for the sheer cruelty of it all. ]

Damn I'm...

[ Sorry? Well yeah. She's going to be hearing that a lot, he's sure. How many times is this now? ]

That blows.

Jr.

[hostess]

[And Haruhi is feeling a hell of a lot of things, too. She's just decided that the easiest thing to do will be dealing with them later.]

He's happier at home, there's no question about it.

[kickthecanplz]

[it takes him a few tires, and even then all he can manage is-]

Dammit... I'm sorry.

[hostess]

There's nothing to be sorry about. We'll all head home sooner or later.

[petitfours]

[The first time this happened, Hunny sobbed. The second time, he tried to make himself useful. But this time, as he's heading back up from the ballroom, he just feels a sinking disappointment.]

❀ Are you okay, Haru-chan? ❀

[hostess]

I'm fine. The castle was never a very good fit for him.

[A pause.]

Though senpai's timing could use a little work.

(three threads at once, whut?)

[individuates]

Haruhi...

[frick. So many things he can say, and he wants so badly to say them all at once that he's stuck for a little bit. Eventually, he settles on...

...do you need ice cream?

8D

[hostess]

[She starts to argue, to push him away --]

Ice cream sounds nice.

[stalkershiki]

Again? Oh.

...

...

I'm sorry.

[hostess]

Don't say you're sorry! Not to me. I'll see him again when I get to go home.

Host Club

[mal_addict]

Well...bugger. [She never got to watch him learn she was actually a woman]

Yeah, sure. I understand.

Host Club

[hostess]

I think it might just be a little too much in a short amount of time.

dictated

[totesadorkabull]

[He remembers that name! Such a nice boy, even if they only met once.]

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. He was, nice. Is there, anything I can do, to help, maybe?

dictated

[hostess]

[Tamaki was very nice! And also sort of her boyfriend. Blegh.]

No, but it's nice of you to ask. How have you been doing, Tavros?

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

'I'm sure we won't mind if it's paused.'

[Plus, if Tamaki isn't there, who's throwing all the costumes around?]

[hostess]

'Thanks. That would help a lot.'

[Certainly not Haruhi.]

Haruhi ;_;

[bro_codebreaker]

Damn it.

... Yeah. Yeah, no problem. Put it off as long as you need to. If you need help with it, just ... lemme know, yeah?

;_;

[hostess]

I think we can handle it, especially now that Kaoru is here. Besides, you have your hands full with the WildKat.

;_;

[wizard_redfive]

[Suoh Tamaki. That name seems very familia—

Oh.

Dairine just… quietly closes the journal. She’ll be in her room, trying to convince herself that she wasn’t all that fond of the strange yet friendly idiot Host King.

…And not think about the fact that his last memory of her was in a dress. Yeah.]

;_;

[hostess]

[Haruhi feels you, man.]
